Seeing Lucia admitting it, Berl, who seemed hurt by the girls for some reason, snapped.

“Leader! Looks aren’t everything in the world! The most important thing is a righteous will! Do you all understand?”

“Yeah! That’s right!”

At the sad sighs of the members, the girls who were startled began to run away one by one.

Indeed, the world was all about good looks.

While their chests were confidently expanded in the setting sun, tears were gathering in their eyes.

“Giliana, this, this. Doesn’t Lyon’s absence seem too noticeable? What do you think?”

“It’s a good situation. But it’s strange. If the captain is there, there’s no way he wouldn’t come. Could it be that he’s been caught by the princess again?”

“Such a light man.”

‘No, I deliberately chose a time excluding overlapping times. It’s strange.’

Vernon, who felt something strange as he thought, asked Berl.

“Vice Commander, what was the last night complaint?”

Berl, who had been jumping around, took out the request list from his chest.

“It seems they expelled a man who pathologically followed a woman.”

“A man… who pathologically followed a woman?”

“Yes, he seemed quite persistent wherever he appeared, so they expelled him.”

Vernon, the knight with the sharpest eyes, became momentarily dazed as if he had been hit on the head, then looked at Lucia with a suspicious look.

“…Leader. Do you remember your last conversation with Lyon?”

“Well, I don’t know. Ah, he asked if it gave him goosebumps.”

As soon as he heard it, Vernon, who had gradually turned pale, suddenly knelt down, laughing while pounding the ground.

“Uhahaha!!!”

‘Ah, really too pitiful.’

After wiping away the tears that had accumulated, he began to gather the heads of Gilley and Hiss, who looked like crazy fools, and started to do something.

The palace where special envoys stay.

The dark bedroom of the princess blocking the light.

The sound of brown droplets falling, filling a small glass bottle, echoed.

“Princess, this smell… isn’t it Persileol? Then, could it be…”

“That’s right. I’m trying to recognize if it’s Lyon’s child.”

A completed magical potion. Persileol.

It was a recipe that descended to the royal family, emphasizing bloodline, and making a potion using the blood of the parents as an ingredient would reveal some kind of mark when fed to the child.

And as it was passed down from the Ferndale royal family, it was a dangerous potion that could show side effects if the person didn’t have Elven blood.

But Illysha wasn’t worried about such things.

“How did you obtain blood when you couldn’t get the blood?”

How did she get blood from such a powerful human weapon?

She herself couldn’t even produce a single droplet after doing such a despicable thing.

The princess, who peered into Illysha’s mind, burst into laughter.
“Could it be that the reason you haven’t reached a higher level, despite being the youngest Sword Master, is because of that failure?”

“……!”

She wasn’t usually the type to get worked up over such matters, but perhaps due to yesterday’s sense of defeat lingering, she erupted like a boiling pot.

“Isn’t it irrelevant whether you’re the daughter of a princess or Lyon himself? Anyway, you’re going to marry like a pawn to the king.”

“What? What are you saying now…”

“So, this is just venting the frustration of being rejected by Lyon onto an innocent child!”

“Can’t you shut up? How dare you, to a princess of a country…!”

“…….”

Even after getting slapped, Illysha did not avert her gaze from the princess.

And the twisted princess who faced those cold eyes suddenly became lost in thought.

“Yes. Perhaps what you’re saying is right. But whether his child is genuine is still a very crucial point.”

It was like a muttered monologue at the end of a long silence.

Naturally, he was thought to be just the son of a viscount who liked knights, coming without a worry in the world. But his mother, Lyon, and an unexpected complication. It was a storm of the unexpected.

However, even in that instinctive jealousy, the original purpose was a choice that did not forget.

‘Because that way, until the very end, there might be an opportunity.’

So, if she was Lyon’s daughter, and if rejection was the issue.

In the end, it was enough to eliminate that problem by solving it.

Beyond the misunderstanding caused by her obsession with Lyon, it was a moment that surpassed even the morals of a human.

“……. ”

Seeing her crazed appearance, Illysha recalled the innocent girl who was happily in love with the person she liked before coming here.

A sight that was now unimaginable.

Now, with her vile self exposed, it was a sight that clearly showed what was inside her, like peeling off layers.

Therefore, she decided to turn away.

Perhaps she, too, did not want to know that there was an even more wicked side to her than the cruel black monster.
