Moreover, the eastern tower?
I would wobble just by standing.
“I’ll stay here.”
“Anzel.”
“I’m really not feeling well… You saw it.”
Hades stared at me for a moment. As if he were judging whether my words were true or not.
“It can’t be helped.”
Hades stood up from his seat.
“Behave.”
I waved my hand.
“I can’t even go anywhere.”
“Don’t even chase away the knights.”
“……Are you thinking of calling a few?”
“Ten. And your four maids will be there too.”
I blinked. Twelve people in the office?
It would surely be bustling with people.
‘They won’t dare to invade.’
It was a bit excessive, but I didn’t think of opposing.
Rather, if Hades said he would call only one or two, I would have requested additional personnel. Schuzachin’s threat still lingered in my ears.
“I have nothing more to ask for since Your Grace takes care of me like this.”
Hades looked at me slightly.
“It’ll be fine as long as you don’t go out.”
In other words, he couldn’t guarantee my safety if I went out.
The moment Hades left, a boisterous group of knights and Amy burst into the room.
“Saint! Are you feeling better?”
“Do you think the Saint looks fine now, idiot? It’s polite not to ask such things.”
That word seemed like something that should be kept inside too…….
But I didn’t feel bad, knowing that none of them meant any harm.
No, rather, I was glad.
Having been with Hades all day, I had new conversation partners.
“Amy, can you contact the kitchen?”
I asked Amy to bring out refreshments for unexpected guests.
Given the situation, it would take Hades at least a few hours to return.
I already began to chuckle as I looked at the knight who was getting excited and starting to sing.
It seemed at least I wouldn’t be bored.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Hades stared at the eastern tower with a cold gaze. It wasn’t his first time seeing the twisted corpse of a demon frozen stiff.
However…….
“Does being in the eastern tower mean it’s stuck in the turret?”
“Yes.”
Tobias bowed his head.
“It seemed too horrific to discuss in front of the saint, so I didn’t mention it.”
“I see.”
The Angelica that Hades knew was a woman who wouldn’t blink an eye even if the demon was torn to pieces, but he had no intention of informing her of that fact.
The fewer people who knew Angelica’s true nature, the better.
At least until the imperial delegation left.
As Hades leaped up the wall and onto the turret, a white frost blossomed where he stepped.
‘…Tobias is right.’
Even upon close examination of the corpse, almost no blood was visible.
This meant, as Tobias said, that the demon had already been dead when it was impaled in the turret.
By someone.
“What is the purpose?”
Hades muttered quietly.
The demons had no reason to do such a thing, killing their own.
But neither did the imperial delegation, for that matter.
Especially since the fainthearted imperials wouldn’t even be able to go near the demons.
“Have you finished examining it, Your Grace?”
Tobias shouted from the bottom of the turret.
Instead of replying, Hades grabbed the demon’s horn and pulled the corpse.
“Ugh.”
Tobias grimaced.
“We can’t just leave it like this.”
“That’s true, but… shall we call someone to take it to the crematorium?”
“No.”
Hades shook his head.
“Call the imperial doctor.”
Annoying as it was, it couldn’t be denied that the imperial delegation’s doctor was far more skilled than the resident doctors in the castle.
A puzzled voice came.
“It seems to have been dead for a long time… should I still call them?”
Hades scowled.
Tobias was a loyal and excellent knight, but sometimes he was oblivious due to his youth.
“Do you think I’m trying to resurrect this thing?”
Tobias quickly nodded and hurriedly exited the corridor.
In the meantime, Hades turned the demon over and checked its unique attribute.
‘…What is this?’
Hades frowned.
The attribute of the demon could be identified by the mark on the neck, but the vivid mark on this demon’s neck was of a kind he had never seen before.
It was a bad omen.
He, who had fought the demons for over ten years, obviously knew the marks well.
If even he had never seen this mark before…….
“Your Grace, I have brought him.”
Tobias appeared with an imperial doctor, palefaced.
“Ugh, ugh!”
The imperial doctor seemed to have a weak stomach, as he retched.
“I… I have to examine this?”
Hades stared at him coldly.
“Don’t you want to?”
“I, I don’t know anything about demons! Even if I examine it and tell you, it won’t help.”
“That’s for me to judge.”
Hades’s lips twisted.
“If you don’t want to, spend all day with this thing.”
“I’ll, I’ll look at it!”
The imperial doctor hurriedly began to examine the demon’s corpse in detail.
A while later, he lifted his head, his face white as a sheet.
The cold sweat on his forehead perfectly revealed the fear and revulsion he was feeling.
“What’s the cause of death?”
In Hades’s voice, there dripped an intent that he wouldn’t let it slide if even a little lie was detected.
“Natural death?”
Surprisingly, the doctor shook his head.
“It’s not a natural death.”
“Then?”
Urging an answer, a statement flowed from the doctor’s mouth that made one doubt their ears.
“This is… murder.”
