"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Jin, one of Agriche's servants, shuddered at the back of his voice.
Looking back, a dazzlingly beautiful woman came into view.
"Ro, Miss Roxana."
He stuttered himself. However, it was not unusual to stutter in front of Roxana because it was something that other people always did.
As Jin stuttered, Roxana tilted her head at an angle.
"The place where the employees were called is an annex, not there."
"Oh, that well...… I felt sick for a while...."
"Really?"
"Yes, yes…."
Jin's face was white. Seeing him sweating cold, he looked really sick.
Roxana nodded as if she knew.
"Then you'd better rest."
A sweet voice flowed in his ear.
Jin bent down, feeling both relieved and guilty about deceiving Roxana.
Again.
But Roxana didn't turn away immediately and somehow approached him.
"When you wake up, everything will be over, so you don't have to worry about anything."
There was no bird to ask what the word meant.
"So make yourself at home and close your eyes."
A melting smile fell into view. The soft-touch touching his cheek was like a dream.
The sweet scent was rushing in close made his head dizzy.
Jin's memory was cut off after a beautiful face that made his heart tighten.
-----
"This is so fatherly to the very end."
Roxana smiled bitterly with a crumpled letter in her hand.
There must have been no time to contact other people separately, but someone is trying to take Rant's message out like this.
Does that mean you've always been prepared for a contingency?
In addition, it was not Lant's usual subordinates or his usual guests, but an unnoticed servant who could not even tell whether he had been in the mansion or not.
Those who had devoted blind allegiance to Rant had already been removed, so it was worth saying that using such a non-existence person had their own brains rolled.
Of course, it happened when I she wasn't caught.
Roxana's cold gaze fell on the man lying under her feet.
As soon as he met Roxana closely, he fell unconscious.
Rant did not let his daughter Roxana seduce other men as she did in the novel.
It was more accurate to express that he failed to do so.
The reason is that Roxana's whole body was like a deadly poison.
It was because she had been steadily consuming a large amount of poison while becoming the owner of a butterfly.
Therefore, a person who was not immune to poison could lose his mind by showing symptoms of addiction just by mixing his breath close to her as he is now.
Of course, as a result of training, she was able to grind my body's poison to a certain extent, but that was when there was no close contact.
In contrast to Sylvia's kisses in the novel, Roxana's kisses could kill people.
"By the way, it's Bertium again."
Roxana tilted her head slightly.
She knew early on that Rant wanted to build a friendship with Bertium, but was it a relationship that would require troops in this situation?
At least it was clear that Rant thought so.
If so, it meant that the two families were connected with secret ties that others would not know.
It meant that Rant had given something to Bertium, at least enough to ask for help in this situation,
However, he had already suspected Bertium of Cassis's work at the reconciliation meeting.
Oh, but since Rant had learned of Roxana's treachery, it was not unreasonable to distrust every word she said.
Roxana thought about this and that for a while and soon stopped thinking about the relationship between Agriche and Bertium.
It's because it has become useless now.
It was useless to send troops from Bertium anyway.
Besides, Roxana felt like everything bothering her now.
"Sister."
Then, Jeremy appeared at the end of the hallway.
He approached Roxana holding a letter.
Jeremy's eyes glanced at the man lying on the floor.
"What's Emily doing? Is she alone?"
"I sent it to my mother."
When Roxana answered, Jeremy, looked into her face without saying a word.
Jeremy's eyes were a little dimly dim.
"Sister, I did what you told me to do."
Unlike when he faced his father Rant in the referee's room earlier, Jeremy was feeling somewhat confused.
He was ready to follow whatever Roxana ordered.
It was a complaint that Deon, who was unlucky, was clinging to Roxana's side, but Jeremy had never touched Deon in the past three years because of her.
Unlike before, Roxana didn't want to lose to Deon anymore, so she grabbed her itching hand and held back the favoritism.
The last time he acted unruly was three years ago when he accidentally put Roxana's toy, Cassis Pedelian, in danger.
Now Jeremy wanted to be a truly useful person for Roxana and stand by her side.
So he wanted to fulfill her wish with his hands.
So if Roxana wanted to have Agriche, he would bring it to her heart's content.
She was willing to take the lead if she wanted to kill her father, Rant, miserably.
However, after Roxana drove Lant out of the way, something was wrong with Jeremy.
It's like...
As if having Agriche wasn't the purpose in the first place...….
"Yeah, good job. Can you take him to the last of these people?"
Roxana spoke in a strange manner as if she didn't know Jeremy's agitation.
So Jeremy swallowed questions and anxiety that soared to the top of his neck.
"Yes, I will."
Anyway, he wanted to help Roxana do whatever she wanted.
Jeremy carried a fallen man on the floor and walked to the annex where he summoned the passengers.
Roxana looked at Jeremy's back and turned away after he completely disappeared from sight.
She burned the letter in the candlelight on the wall.
She brought the paper that still had the embers to the curtain by the window on the opposite side.
Flattered!
The fire quickly spread to a thick cloth.
Roxana looked at the flame slowly expanding its territory with a face without a facial expression and turned her body back.
Whoooo!
Just in time, alarms for intruders rang out in the hallway. There was a loud noise from afar.
However, Roxana's steps in between did not shake an inch.
The butterflies, who were ordered, scattered throughout the mansion.
Behind her back, a bigger fire opened her mouth like a door to hell.
As always, survival in Agriche was up to everyone.
----
In the first month of the new year, at the end of the year, the Fedelian of the Blue broke through the gates of Agriche, the black.
The sound of weapons and armor clashing broke the stillness of the night and ran through the frozen winter wind.
Fedelian launched an onslaught from all sides, surrounded by Agriche, without an opening.
Agriche was unable to respond quickly to the unexpected attack. They were confused by ongoing internal strife, so it was largely due to not receiving proper instructions from above.
Cassis, who cut down the blocker at once, ordered.
"Don't go after those who run away! Rant Agriche's capture is the highest priority.
Those who did not take up weapons and those who ran away did not attack. The purpose was not the extermination of the people in Agriche.
In the midst of the uproar, someone opened the door to the grounds. Inside Agriche, monsters and humans were mixed up and became a mess.
Cassis did not stop once and swept away everything in the way.
As he raised his head, the building where the flames spread caught the end of his eyes. Cassis knew who was there.
It was the greatest patience and courtesy he could see that he did not invade and attack the castle in front of him even though he had already completed all preparations.
Even if Agriche surrenders, the Cassis will not stop. It must be the same thing that the person beyond the fire wants.
Kiaaah!
The monster attacked from the front fell from the top to the bottom as if it were tearing apart the air, breaking into two pieces on the blade of the sword.
Cassis opened his mouth coolly, looking down at Agriche's trembling floodgates covered in the blood of the beast.
"Where is Rant Agrice?"
