93 The Power of the Devil (2)

Frondier stood up after confirming that Olivia was completely dead.

‘It’s difficult.’

Of course, Frondier had no intention of killing Olivia. From the beginning, the purpose was to lead.

Olivia has close connections with most of the Empire’s hidden demons, especially those who commit crimes. If you can get him to obey, the next step will be easier.

But he killed it. Although it wasn’t my intention.

‘What on earth is this devil’s power?’

The sensation I felt just now was definitely similar to when I killed a bunch of ghosts.

In other words, Frontier’s soul touched the other person’s soul.

‘They say the devil understands the other person by the appearance of their soul. The power of the devil is ultimately an attack on the soul.’

Therefore, the devil’s power looks like a ‘mental attack’ on the outside. Like Belphegor’s ‘sloth’ and Lily’s ‘enchantment’.

Since it is a force applied to the soul, it is a separate issue from the body.

‘If I really just used the devil’s power, wouldn’t other humans be able to use the devil’s power too?’

Theoretically it would be possible. It is an unmistakable fact that Frontier is human. In other words, other humans, whether strong or weak, may also be able to use the power of the devil.

However, Frondier has experience with Laurier escaping from the body, receiving mana from the other world, slaying a mass of miscellaneous ghosts, and absorbing mana. That is why he clearly understands his soul.

‘Humans have never been able to use this power because the conditions are not met. The devil used force because he could. That’s why it’s called ‘the power of the devil’.’

It may be wrong to call this power the ‘power of the devil’ in the first place.

“by the way.”

After organizing his thoughts, Frondier sighed.

Now that Olivia is dead, we need to find the next level demon.

“Is this something you can control?”

I was having concerns that no demon had ever had to worry about.

Empress Fili was feeling relaxed for the first time in a long time recently.

Of course, the Empire is still busy recovering from the war, but a lot of the burden has been lifted from Fili’s own shoulders.

The biggest reason among them is the resurgence of Emperor Bartello.

With the curse of sloth gone, Bartello’s health has now returned to a level similar to that of active duty, and he was able to naturally carry out his duties faithfully.

Originally, the reason why Fili’s power was strong was because he was taking charge of the work that Bartello should have done, so Fili was surrounded by heavy work as he had a strong influence.

“If this happens, my daughter Saleh’s ascension to the emperor will be delayed a little.”

So, in his free time after a long time, Fili was able to leisurely walk around the imperial palace and even think about new things.

The original empire was preparing to welcome a new empress named Saleh.

Bartello’s weakness showed no signs of getting better, and there were limits to Fili taking on all the work alone.

But now Bartello has stood up again, and Saleh has no particular desire for the position of emperor.

Bartello is not opposed to Saleh becoming empress, but believes it is still too early.

“Let’s have a family gathering for the first time in a while. “I think if we bring Aten along and talk leisurely, the order will be decided.”

Fili tries to resolve the issue of ascending to the emperor’s throne at a family gathering. As expected, the way we think is different from that of ordinary people.

When Fili was walking around the imperial palace and admiring the scenery outside.

A man dressed as a servant slowly approached and bowed to her.

“…Your Highness, I have something to report to you.”

Philly frowns at that sight.

“Are you crossing too many lines? You and I are not supposed to officially know each other. “I’m sure you know.”

“sorry. “Because it is a truly important report.”

The man spoke in a trembling tone. He also knows that he has crossed a line, but it seems as if he still has something to say.

Meanwhile, Fili looked at the man with cold eyes.

‘…You reached right in front of me without anyone noticing you on the way here.’

Of course, the place where Fili is walking is a sufficiently safe space within the imperial palace. No one can enter, and if they do, they will be immediately caught by the imperial knights and charged with crime.

‘The shadow’s hiding skills have improved. So much so that if you put your mind to it differently, you could aim for my neck.’

As Fili thought, it was Ambu’s direct descendant who approached her. Now the head of Ambu is dead.

He is one of those caught up in Satan’s contract. The war broke out not long after that, so the dark area is still in disarray.

“great. “It’s not something to talk about here.”

The man quietly nods his head at those words. Fili walked ahead.

As I opened the door to the living room and sat down, the man stood and spoke.

“I ask for your understanding for speaking without words. “I will report to you right away.”

“great. “I prefer that too.”

“First, a report on Frontier de Roach.”

Fili tilted his head. Frontier? I never asked you to research him.

“There are a lot of suspicious things about his behavior since the last incident.”

“…Hmm.”

The corners of Fili’s mouth naturally lift. She smiled as if telling me to keep talking.

“What’s suspicious? “Is the last incident about Lady Ameline’s escort?”

“…yes. Since then, Frondier has been in charge of Lili’s knight duties and attending nobles’ banquets.”

“Is that strange? “This is what Lili always told her knights to do.”

“Unlike other knights, Frontier only participates in banquets. It also seems like they only select banquets for high-ranking nobles.”

Even Philly was annoyed by that. Honestly, I thought, ‘That could be it.’

Lili’s knights are often treated as saving the face of nobles or as hosts for young ladies.

Of course, there are a lot of missions like that, and there may be a lot of requests from high-ranking nobles around the Frontier.

There’s nothing particularly strange about it, but it looks like the shadow is just thinking it’s suspicious and moving, so it’s natural that it’s absurd in Fili’s eyes.

“So is there something wrong with that movement?”

“Just a few days ago, there was an incident where a huge number of demons flocked to the banquet hall.”

“Oh, that’s it. “They say Frontier and Miss Elodie killed it.”

“yes. So, our secretariat investigated concerns that Frontier might be in cahoots with the devil. “

Whoosh! ”

The man’s words were cut along with the air by an ice blade. Needless to say, it’s Philly’s magic.

The ice blade grazed the man’s cheek and became lodged in the wall, and Fili’s voice was even more sad than that.

“you.”

“…Yes, Your Highness.”

“What is your name?”

“…It’s called Ednet. majesty.”

“Ednet. Should I remember your name? Do you hope so?”

Ednet bowed his head without any response to Fili’s words.

“I know very well that Ambu was often at odds with Frontier. That was also the case with the recent incident. Of course, from my perspective, it appears that Frontier handled it very well.”

“…majesty.”

“Until now, I have tolerated the dark side. This is because they believed that they were a helpful group to the empire. “Sore.”

Fili’s voice is as white as her hair and as red as her eyes.

“If you install it without knowing the subject, you will be killed.”

“….”

“If I had to choose between Frontier and Ambu, which would be more helpful to the empire, I would choose Frontier without hesitation. Who dares suspect, concern, and investigate whom? Do you believe that the Empire will protect the group that threatens Frontier?”

Ednet bit her lip and stood there as if she didn’t know what to do.

Finally, I got down on my knees and prostrated myself.

Indeed, it was so unexpected that Fili’s pupils widened slightly.

“Please listen, Your Majesty. “Let me first clarify that this is in no way intended to disparage Frontier.”

“…Hoo. “It is not slander to start with suspicions that are not reasonable.”

“Of course. It is true that our staff started working with antipathy towards Frontier. Ambu has a huge voice. “At this time of chaos, a member like me just follows orders.”

“…so?”

“Nonetheless, I have something to report! Please believe me, Your Majesty!”

Fili looked at Ednet lying face down in front of him with cold eyes.

I don’t know how much sincerity was hidden in that posture, but it seems like he made some kind of determination.

“Frondier went to the Hitchcock company just a few days ago.”

“Did you look into that too?”

“One of the people involved in the mana injection in the dark is Hitchcock’s chairman, Arald Lemaire. Because of that relationship, when I visited the Hitchcock company, it was already full of professionals and police officers!”

Philly heard that too.

Frontier entered the Hitchcock company and was welcomed at first, but when he left he was met with great caution and resistance.

However, because Chairman Arald stepped forward to defend and protect Frondier, the matter ended without any escalation. In fact, it can be said that it has already grown as the pros came in.

Eden Hamelot, the No. 1 professional who was the leader of the attacking pros,

said, “If the chairman of Hitchcock says so, then that’s what it means.” Let’s go back, everyone.

He personally stepped forward and sent the professionals away, and he himself returned. Surprisingly, it can be said that it ended on a bland note.

“After that, bodies were found at every banquet Frontier attended!”

“…a corpse?”

“It is the corpse of a devil, Your Majesty!”

Fili was surprised by that, but frowned again.

“How did you know it was a devil? “It would be difficult for humans to distinguish between high-ranking demons.”

“There was a note left on the body. ‘This man is the devil. Research your blood relations. You will notice that you are not connected to anyone.’ After hearing that and actually investigating, I was completely alone!”

“…Those conditions are enough to warrant suspicion of being a devil.”

From there, Ednet slowly raised his head.

“Frondier is associated with the devil, Your Majesty. However, it is not clear whether it is against the devil or on the devil’s side.”

“….”

“But if you are hostile, why don’t you bother reporting it to the empire? Isn’t Frontier in Your Majesty’s favor? That’s why I’m concerned and worried about the dark side.”

Fili thinks about those words for a moment.

To be honest, I don’t think that Frontier is on the devil’s side at all.

If Frontier is on the devil’s side, why would he risk his life fighting against the Seven Deadly Sins, the devil’s peak?

However, the reason for not reporting it to the Empire is definitely concerning. What bothered me was whether Frondier’s bad habits would show up again.

‘…It looks like you’re trying to do something alone again, Frontier.’

While Fili was thinking like that, Ednet seemed to think that his words had some effect and spoke again.

“And one more thing. Former 1st Princess Elysia, who was watching, has not been seen recently. Since she was quiet since she was seen near the banquet hall where Frondier was attending, it may be that Elysia is also related to Frondier

. ”

This time I got hit. Into the teacup that Fili threw away.

Fili shouted with a puzzled face.

“You should have reported that first! “You idiot!!”
