Kiryian narrowed his eyes. It was an unexpected answer, but for now, he got what he wanted. Leaving behind the trembling Mabu, Kiryian left the narrow room without hesitation.

“Madeline’s house in Venice.”

His steps involuntarily quickened, but his head was only filled with numerous thoughts.
It was a sister he thought he would never see again. Unable to accept that fact, Heis had lived for the past two years, unable to die.

During that time, his sister must have left the ducal house, as she wished for a long time. If Heis had come in the middle of the night, perhaps their relationship had progressed from compatible partners to something more intimate.

He had fallen into hell.

“Regain freedom and get a man.”

His temper hadn’t softened enough to wish for his sister’s new happiness.

Even if they were to jump into hell together.

As dawn broke, I struggled to get up.

Perhaps because I had closed my eyes for a moment, my magic had somewhat recovered.

Preparing to go out simply and sneaking out through the main gate, someone grabbed the door.

“Lord Ant, let’s go together.”

It was Number 1.

“I cannot send you alone.”

Behind him, Number 2 appeared.

“If our organization goes together, we can fill the ranks!”

Up to Number 5 popped up and joined forces.

“Just think of us as arrow catchers and take us with you!”

“If it’s for Lord Ant, we’re not afraid of death!”

Other members of the organization began to pop up as well.

“Ha…”

My head throbbed in pain.

“Stop the nonsense and just guard the house properly. Don’t go out and end up being a burden for nothing.”

“It’s okay! If we become a burden, you can just leave us later!”

Number 1 smiled brightly.

I stopped for a moment and fell silent. What Number 1 said was correct.

It wasn’t all downsides to taking the Maderen Faction with me.

If we were to engage in a full-frontal confrontation, they could help block the pursuing servants, and they could also assist in quickly searching for the Viscount.

Putting the Maderen Faction under me in the first place was to obtain subordinates who could be manipulated at will. Using them as needed and discarding them whenever.

That’s why I deliberately didn’t call them by their names and referred to them by numbers according to their rank.

For some reason, thinking that one of the organization members could be captured by the Viscount made me uneasy, even though it might make things easier.

I slowly opened my mouth.

“Fine. Let’s go together.”

Cheers erupted from various places as rough-looking subordinates rushed towards me.

“But.”

I quickly closed the door behind me.

“Make sure to bring appropriate extensions. I’ll arrange for those with the most threatening extensions to be placed at the front.”

At the mention of extensions, the organization members hurriedly rushed to their rooms, their eyes sparkling.

“Where’s my axe?!”

“I’m sure I left my mace under the bed, who stole it?!”

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the sudden uproar, I slipped away. The carriage I had called was waiting in the alley. By the time they realized I was gone, I would be racing towards the border, away from the city.

“It’s fortunate that they’re all fools.”

I sighed and leaned my forehead against the carriage window. Even if I left all the organization members behind, it wasn’t like I had no plans at all.
I was still a thorn in the Viscount’s side, so instead of releasing Pablo, if I willingly allowed myself to be caught, Viscount Madern would comply.

“That Pablo guy. Once the Viscount is out, we’ll bury him alive.”

It was said on the assumption that he could escape from the Viscount.

Number 5 silently watched the carriage leaving through the window.

Lord Ant had always been like that. He spoke roughly, but when you observed his actions, he was an endlessly flexible and gentle person.

However, Number 5 decisively turned away from the window. Lord Ant was right. Looking back on what happened last night at the Viscount’s, following them would only be a burden.

Moreover, even without the trick of preparing extensions, Lord Ant would have found a way to prevent them from following.

“But I can’t just let Lord Ant go like that.”

Number 5 quickly went to get a crossbow.

There was no other way but to prepare thoroughly and secretly follow Lord Ant.

But when the prepared members of the organization stepped out first, the narrow alley was already filled with police officers.

For a moment, stillness hung in the alley.

Members of the organization pouring out with weapons raised and police officers in uniforms facing each other, both sides looked at each other in surprise.

The first to come to his senses was the chief of police.

“Madelaine Fah, immediately drop all your weapons and surrender peacefully.”

“Why are you all doing this?”

Number 1, who raised an axe over his shoulder, asked.

“For threats, fraud, assault, and attempted murder, all members of Madelaine Fah are under arrest. We have the right to exercise the right to remain silent and appoint an attorney. Anything you say from now on may be used against you in court.”

“What? Attempted murder! I’ll go crazy from being unjustly accused.”

Number 1 shook the axe in protest.

“Why attempted murder! If we swing that thing a few more times, it’ll be over and we’ll be out!.”

Number 2 joined in.

“If calling it a bit of a rough handling makes it assault! We just nudged it a bit in an unseen place.”

Number 5 sighed. Clearly, none of them understood the meaning of ‘the right to remain silent.’

The faces of the police officers also stiffened.

“Arrest them all and leave none behind!”
