Chapter 93 The Power of the Devil (4)
Fili got angry for the first time in a while and shouted at Ednet.
I didn’t know if that was right or what I should report first, so I shouted at him to go and find him right away.
Only after Ednet retreats as if running away does Fili let out a deep sigh.
Fili’s arms naturally rise, his elbows resting on the desk, and his hands rest on his head.
“…Elysia….”
Elysia.
Former 1st Princess Elysia Terst.
Needless to say, she was Fili’s first daughter and was originally the most likely person to become the next emperor.
…Of course, it looks like that, but the reality is unknown. Elysia herself suspected this and planned a crime, and now that it has failed, Elysia is no longer a princess.
Elysia tried to become the undisputed empress by excluding Aten and Rodrik. Although it was only an attempt, many people were injured and killed due to the ‘raid’. The crime was so serious that the imperial palace could no longer protect Elysia.
On the contrary, since the people’s voices were loud that Elysia should die, it was an excessively light punishment to simply expel her from the imperial palace.
‘…I originally planned to send him into exile.’
But Elysia is still within the empire. He wasn’t even detained in prison that long. He just hides his name and lives as a commoner.
He changes his hair color and wears a mask. Under the watchful eye of the Empire under Fili’s orders.
Although it is a painful life in its own way, it is true that compared to the sins committed, the punishment is lukewarm. Being watched means being protected, and as long as you are not caught, there is no major inconvenience to your food, clothing, or shelter. You can also make money by working on your own.
Originally, Fili did not intend to give Elysia such a light punishment. Even though she was her daughter, she knew that she had to be strict with her. So I was actually going to send him into exile.
The one who stopped it was none other than Frontier.
Elysia should have died there when her own operation failed. At the point when the full extent of the crime was discovered by Fili and Frondier and all measures to silence them failed.
Fili also knew this, so she tried to kill Elysia with her own hands. Borrow Frontier’s dagger.
For Philly, that feeling is still vivid. That was when I realized that I had killed my own daughter with my own hands.
But Elysia did not die. Frondier said that the dagger he gave was ‘extremely poisonous’, but that was kind of a pun. Although it was extremely poisonous, there was enough time and means to treat it.
‘If I think about it now, Frontier was watching my choice.’
When I found out that I had been deceived by Frondier, I was embarrassed and angry at first, but later I was relieved, and as time passed, I now have different thoughts.
What Frontier gave Fili was a dagger. It was a very sharp knife.
In other words, if Fili really wanted to kill Elysia, he could have killed her even if it wasn’t poison. If you had stabbed Elysia in the heart, she would have died without even mentioning the poison.
But all Fili did was stab him to a depth of less than one centimeter. The poison alone was enough, but it was a treatable poison.
How much regret did Philly have at that time? Although he was determined to kill his daughter, it did not help him come to terms with her death.
‘Until that happens, I can’t possibly think of killing Elysia again. Frontier saw that.’
Strangely, Frondier, who had hindered Elysia’s crime the most, was the most effective in preventing her from being killed. It had to be done, and Philly, who could do it in the simplest way, changed his mind.
And Frondier was even against sending Elysia into exile.
It’s a bit of an old story, but it’s vivid for Philly.
* * *
The day Frondier became exhausted from the fireworks he used for the first time and Fili helped him.
Frontier said:
“If we send her into exile, Elysia will die. “Her magic and skills are not suitable for survival.”
That’s right. Elysia spent most of her time studying monsters and alchemy. Since she was a princess to begin with, she was woefully immature if it wasn’t in her area of interest.
The further out you go, the more terrifying monsters lurk in the empire. Exile to the outskirts is effectively a death sentence. There are only a few people who survive, even if they are not Elysia.
However, no matter what you say, there is a slim chance of survival rather than the actual death penalty. Fili thought that this was the greatest possible concession, but Frondier shook his head.
“The only people who know everything about Elysia’s crimes are me and Philly. So we can reduce it to some extent.”
“…I think it will be difficult. “The Constel teachers have already noticed that the magic circle was set up thanks to you, and they also know that the mastermind is Elysia.”
“yes. Teachers are like that. However, this is just my opinion. There are many possibilities. “Either I was mistaken or Elysia is also a real victim of a dark conspiracy.”
Fili frowned, understanding the intent of Frondier’s words.
“…What you mean is, announce the entire story of Elysia’s crime as a lie?”
“I mean, there’s no need to tell the whole story. “The important thing is that very few people know the truth.”
Fili rolled his eyes at those words.
It’s not impossible. In fact, there are only two who have seen and heard of Chimera and Elysia in person.
Philly was also unconvinced by Elysia’s acting for a while.
However, Philly found this situation a bit strange.
“…But I didn’t know that Frondier wanted to help Elysia so much. “I think it’s somehow the other way around.”
Yes. Her mother, Fili, is trying to send Elysia into exile, and Frondier is trying to stop her.
“Did you by any chance have a personal crush on Elysia? “Then I feel a little sorry for our Aten.”
At those words, Frondier shook his head.
He said, averting his gaze a little, as if there was a secret in his eyes that he could not yet tell.
“Saving Elysia is not for Elysia’s sake.”
“…yes?”
“It’s for Mr. Philly, to be exact.”
At this time, I didn’t understand this clearly.
Now that I think about it, it was rather simple words.
What kind of person will Fili become after killing Elysia? Even when Philly thinks about it, it’s a scary thing.
Frondier spoke again then.
“And what can I say because I like it?”
The sight of him making fortune.
Philly, both at this time and even now, a long time has passed since that day.
“I see. “Elysia is someone you need.”
I can’t forget Frontier’s expression.
* * *
Bart gaped in shock at Frondier’s words.
“What kind of mistake…?”
“okay. “It happens sometimes.”
“You crazy bastard! “You just killed Khagris!”
Bart shouted.
Although he didn’t have a very close relationship with Cagris, he was still a good business partner. If Bart provides a place to satisfy his desires, Kagris gives him money accordingly. In his own way, he is a very affectionate guy.
But he just died. Literally shaken up.
“Do you think we can pass that off as a mistake?”
Frondier tilts his head at those words. His eyes narrowed for a moment as if he was truly thinking about what Bart had done, and then he spoke.
“It won’t work.”
“What what?”
“This guy named Cagris kills people in the process of satisfying his desire to ‘suck blood,’ right?”
Tuk
Frondier lightly kicked the head of Kagsir, who was already dead.
“You guys say your desire is nothing more than sexual desire? It’s not that patience is impossible, and this guy was able to satisfy his desire in the first place. Although it may be a bit complicated, it is not that difficult to obtain human blood in the Empire. “There’s no need to kill him.”
There is a hospital in the empire, and if you just want to get blood, you can look into that institution. Even if the hospital refuses for any reason, in the worst case it is nothing more than theft of blood.
“I don’t want to be found out that I’m a devil for asking for help from an organization like that, and I don’t want to get caught again for keeping a human alive by sucking blood from a place like this. “This guy killed 16 people for the same reasons.”
Kuuk.
This time, Frondier gently presses Cagris’ head with his foot.
His eyes are beyond heartlessness and seem to be looking at a piece of tissue paper dropped on the side of the road.
“Does it matter if I accidentally killed that guy? Besides, he’s a devil.”
“…You crazy bastard….”
“You’re the one who’s crazy, you devil.”
Frondier said and stretched out his hand again. It was clear what to do.
“Huhhhhh!!”
Bart rushed towards Frondier, screaming or shouting. To be exact, it wasn’t heading to the frontier, but to the secret passage behind it. That’s the only place I can go anyway.
Whick!
However, before using the devil’s power, Frondier first bound Bart’s body with black cloth.
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Bart opened his aura by forcefully tearing off the body caught in the black cloth. An enormous force overflowed, and as expected, a part of the black sky could not withstand and was cut off.
I don’t know if this is Bart’s original strength or a survival instinct.
“Just stay still. “I said I won’t make any mistakes this time.”
Frontier continued to use the Black Cloth to restrain Bart’s body. There were more new Black Heavens charging at him than he cut off.
Nevertheless, Bart did not give up, twisting his body and clamoring to get out.
I saw Kagris die a little while ago. I can’t even guess what happened to me. Of course it was worth it.
Towards Bart, Frondier seemed to be concentrating with deeply sunken eyes and took a deep breath.
“——Huh!”
At that moment, Bart’s pupils dilated and his body trembled as if he had been shocked. Soon he became limp, similar to Kagris. Of course, I was caught in the black sky.
“…is this a failure again?”
Frondier muttered and released the black sky.
Bart slumps down on the floor. When Frontier looked a little troubled at that sight.
“…eww.”
Bart trembled and let out a soft sound.
The trembling of the body was very quiet, and unlike the screaming and shouting just before, this time even the breathing was quiet.
However, his expression was unfocused and unconscious, as if he was completely consumed by fear and was about to drown.
“It’s a success. “It was a little close, though.”
Frondier approached Bart. As I squatted down to be at eye level with him, who was lying face down, Bart slowly raised his head.
Frontier said:
“how is it? My demonic power. “I heard that you demons use this to determine rank and find someone to obey.”
“…That was just your….”
Bart’s tone changed. He called Frontier “you” and his voice became polite.
“…but how? You are not a devil…”
“They say it is the power of the devil, but it is actually the power of the soul. “You can use it if you know how to use it.”
Bart lowered his eyes again, as if he had no intention of protesting those words.
Looking at that scene, Frontier said.
“how is it? “Would you like to come under me?”
“…You’re not going to kill me?”
“I told you it was a mistake. In fact, I want to kill all the devils hidden in the empire who have committed heinous crimes, but we need them now.”
“Is it because of the devil in the west?”
“okay. “If you continue like this, you will only walk down the path of self-destruction.”
Although the demons of the empire have joined hands to create their own community, that level of solidarity will soon be broken.
The devils of the west will find them, and if Satan’s devils also get involved, there is no way for them to survive.
“So I’m giving you one last chance. “This is the only chance you guys have of surviving.”
“….”
At Frondier’s words, Bart put both hands on the floor and gave strength. He gets down on one knee and bows deeply towards Frondier.
“…I will work for you in the future. Frontier de Roach.”
“good.”
Frondier nodded and stood up.
“You were Olivia’s successor. So, most of them are connected to the demons hidden within the empire, especially those who commit crimes.”
“That’s right.”
“Call them all soon. “Since you guys can’t tie it up on your own, I’ll tie it up for you.”
“yes.”
Bart suddenly transforms into a loyal servant. Frondier is unfamiliar with the sight, but is convinced that this is what devils are like. Since the logic of power is applied so clearly, it even gives a neat impression.
Hmm, Frondier snorts, satisfied with completing one task. Then he turned around.
“Now then, shall we talk? Elish… Ah?”
That’s how I looked for Elysia, but I couldn’t find her where she was.
I was so focused on controlling the demon’s power that I couldn’t pay attention to my sixth sense.
“…If it was that woman, she ran away through a secret passage a while ago.”
“escape? why? “I saved you.”
“…I don’t think I thought that way.”
Frondier couldn’t understand those words and tilted his head.
Why do you run away? It’s safe here now. One demon is dead and one now obeys me.
“He’s such an unknown guy. There’s nothing to be afraid of anymore.”
Seeing Frondier thinking so seriously, Bart didn’t say much.
