An unfamiliar figure was flying towards the creature they were going to target.

As if clearing up all the other monsters in the meantime, he wielded a sword against the Grace Worm, creating a dazzling display of lights tearing through the world.

“Lord Marquis?”

The moment his sword moved, the Grace Worm lost its head, and the massive body collapsed intact.

Thump.

A blue fluid poured down like a waterfall onto the Fifth Castle.

“To the side, to the side!”

Creta’s scream-like shout aimed the trebuchet at the farthest, rightmost creature.

Although the range seemed precarious, there was no other way.

A slight hesitation, and Jilian would be entangled.

With the pungent smell of oil, the projectile flew, followed by a flaming arrow.

Another firework exploded in the air.

And it arrogantly hit the Grace Worm, who had been holding its head high.

Boom. With the sound, the burning Grace Worm started shaking its body, glowing.

Thump, thump.

While the castle was soaked in flames, trying desperately to put out the fire, the oil-fueled and empowered fire would not be extinguished that easily.

Burning persistently in the relentless fire, the Grace Worm thrashed around for a while before finally dying.

Meanwhile, two more projectiles were launched, and they were able to set one more on fire.

It was when Jilian struck the last remaining Grace Worm’s head.

However, the problematic one was the glowing creature.

Bang.

The creature, struggling to extinguish the flames stuck to its body, collapsed onto the Fifth Castle, crushing it as it fell.

Without any warning.

Completely.

Like a fallen tree.

“No!”

“Lord Marquis!”

At the top of the collapsing castle, towards the staggering figure, a scream that could burst his throat echoed.

Whoosh.

Immediately afterward, an unprecedented giant snowstorm swept in.

In a world where the white prison had lifted, nothing survived.

“Lord Marquis!”

‘Please spare me!’

Jeremy twisted his mouth at the lieutenant’s sudden thought.

Although he was carrying it well, his lieutenant was quite soft and tender.

He had lived in a peaceful era, so to speak, as a bureaucrat.

“When I said, ‘Bianca, you should take care of that,’ he almost looked like he was going to die.”

He thought about it and sympathetically approached him, like someone facing a situation where he might be threatened with murder.

That’s when he clung to him as if he were threatened with death.

“Do you have a reason to kill?”

Jeremy looked down at the lieutenant, who was panting, while looking out the window where the snowstorm was raging.

There was no reason to keep her alive.

Especially if she was a ‘princess’ with such a powerful force as Balok on her back.

Although the emperor erased her from the imperial records, it was because of the emperor’s circumstances, not his own thoughts.

Were there any nobles erased from the imperial records?

Even if they let Bianca pass, after she once again ascended to the imperial records, it wouldn’t end here.

It wouldn’t be just a headache if there were nobles who had been erased from the imperial records, and if they reappeared in the imperial records.

Even if they got rid of Balok, it would still be a problem.

After Bianca, it was still a problem.
There may be nothing as enchanting as a child who inherits the bloodline of Balok and Termina.

Even among the Terminas, who were already impressive, if there were Terminas with Balok’s blood, what would happen?

Will it really end with just comparisons?

“…….,”

Suddenly.

Thinking about it, it feels like flames are leaping from my eyes involuntarily.

What an unlucky person.

Why shake the firm imperial authority in his generation?

‘Erased from the imperial records.’

Like a scum.

It’s not my business, so I’ll be nonchalant about everything.

Gritting his teeth, Jeremy reluctantly calmed his boiling insides.

“Sigh….”

I have to kill her.

The thought that came up in his mind once became a persistent desire.

“It would have been better if she had died earlier…….”

If Balok had known that he would make her his duchess, he would never have let her go.

It would have been better to sell her to the south.

The body price would have been generously paid, and making the south an ally would have been good in many ways.

It’s a bit regrettable when I think about it, but it’s already a past story.

Bianca, keeping her alive now would only cause disturbance.

Even when she was in the imperial family, there was never a quiet day because of that.

When I sent her away because her ears were itching, the empire didn’t get excited, did it?

Should I be thankful for that?

Thanks to that, there was no plausible reason for anyone to think so.

This time, please die.

Bianca.

Just die.

Without making a fuss.

Bianca, who was napping in a warm blanket, suddenly sat up.

It felt like she heard something, and her spine chilled as goosebumps crawled over her.

Bianca looked around.

“What, what is it?”

“Madam?”

Julie, who had been lying on the sofa next to the bed, jumped up at Bianca’s voice and rushed over.

“Why are you doing this?”

“I heard some noise just now.”

“What noise?”

“It sounded like someone calling. No, it seemed like a human voice…….”

“I didn’t hear anything.”

It’s probably the sound of the wind.

Unlike the gentle voice, Julie’s eyes became stern.

It might be the one.

The presence that was sneaking around the mansion late at night.

Even though he thought there was something, what he actually encountered in the sponsorship was a small animal engaged in feeding activities.

It was suspicious, but since there was nothing else to feel, he had to return.

If it was a mistake that day, I want to catch it this time.

“What really was that noise?”

“If you’re really worried, should I check the window again?”

“Should I?”

Absolutely, he wouldn’t just let it go.

Look at this.

What is it?

‘Anyway, it seemed like there was something.’

Julie moved according to Bianca’s wishes as she dismissed herself.

First, it was the window near the closest bed.

Julie unhesitatingly soaked the thick curtain that was draped over it.
