169 Chapter Twenty-sixth





 Tijuana and the guards are stunned.
 And Cain, with his sword sheathed, looks down at the neck that was Corzino.

(I wonder why I was so fascinated by the evil gods. ......)

 Then, an unexpected voice called to Cain.

"I didn't expect to see an apostle of the god of creation (grandfather) and his friends. ......

 Cain looked surprised and distanced himself from where he had said the words.

 Corzino, now with only his neck, keeps his eyes open and moves his mouth.

''You're interesting. I'd like to see you quit being an apostle of the creator gods (old man) and become my apostle ......?

I refuse to ....... An apostle of an evil god is nothing more than a nuisance.

 Cain's words were unexpected, and Corzino, who was now just a head, smiled.

'I see ...... yeah? Your soul is ....... Hmm? Well, ...... you are ...... those two ----

 Before he could finish his words, Cain unleashed his magic and burned Corzino's neck.
 Then a final voice rang out from within the cover of flames.

'My name is Aaron, and I used to call myself Yugijin. I will see you again. I am the descendant of those who sealed me.''

 It was the last voice.
 After the flames were extinguished, what had been Corzino's neck was ashes.

'More importantly, ......'

 The mansion was still burning.

 Cain changed his mind and fired his water magic to put out the fire. The guards who could use water magic also released water magic one after another.

 Ten minutes later, all the fires were extinguished by the magic of Cain and the guards, and white smoke from the fire extinguishing process was rising in the air.
 Then, using exploration (search), they check to see if there is anyone alive.
 There were only two small reactions among them.
 Cain hurriedly entered the building where the fire was just finished.

'Still a bit dangerous--'

 Not listening to what the guards were saying, Cain ran into the mansion and ran upstairs and kicked the door to the desired room.
 There, bleeding from the stomach, were two people lying on the floor.
 It was the maid and another, Corzino's heir, Habit.
 Cain carries them up and kicks out the window and jumps down.
 The guards are surprised to see Cain suddenly jumping down from the second floor window, carrying a man, but Cain didn't seem to care and laid them down on the ground.

'Hold on a second. ......'

"Area High Heels

 Their wounds closed up as Cain cast a spell.

'I think we'll be fine now: ......

 Cain's magic worked, and their breathing became calmer.

'You two are ......?'

 Cain turned around when Tiffana approached him from behind.

'I've searched for them in my exploration (search), but they're the only two alive. This is my legitimate son, Habit, a classmate of mine. ......

 I honestly don't know if it was the right thing to do to help him as Cain.
 It is already obvious that he helped the Marquis of Corzino in this rebellion.
 As for the Corzino family, it will be a judgment from the king, and in some cases, the entire family could be put to death.
 In that case, Habit, as a legitimate son, would also have to take responsibility.

(We'll have to leave this one up to His Majesty: ......)

 The surviving Babbitt and his attendants were carried by the guards to the royal castle.
 The headless corpse of Corzino was also wrapped in a white cloth and carried away in the same way.

'Cain, let's go back to the royal castle once. I need to explain to Your Majesty.
'Yeah, yeah, ....... And it just popped up.

 Tifana and I headed to the royal castle in silence.

 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

 One of the reception rooms of the royal castle.
 In it, the king crossed his arms and wrinkled his brow in distress.
 When he heard the explanation from Tifana and Cain, he looked incredulous.

'You don't mean to tell me that the ...... evil gods are going to be resurrected ......?'

 Cain shook his head at the king's question.
 Since it's not confirmed yet, Cain can't give an easy answer either.
 Regardless of the answer, it was necessary to consult with the gods once.

''I see, if he hasn't resurrected yet, then it's a relief. Anyway, Cain, thank you for your hard work in defeating the Messenger of the Evil God.
''That's right. If Cain-kun hadn't transferred to King's Landing to report, we might have been in trouble.

 It's true that Cain took advantage of Corzino's gaps and cleared away all the loose ends in one fell swoop, but Corzino's magical power is miserable and powerful.
 I'm sure that if Cain wasn't there, no one would be able to stop him from rioting in the capital.

I'll get the details from my surviving son. Then it will be against the Republic of Irstin.

 Cain nodded as he remembered.
 He was in the middle of a conversation as he had flown out of the royal castle because of the evil apostle's departure.
 Everyone knows that this time, depending on how the other country comes out, it will be an immediate war.
 To avoid war and resolve the matter peacefully, we must decide who is in charge.
 And until now, Corzino has been in charge.

''I'll be the one to negotiate with the Istin Republic. I'm sure we'll have to work out the details of this one first.''

 The king nodded at Duke Eric's words.

''Mm, Eric. I'm counting on you.

 The day was then dismissed and Cain returned to the mansion.

 For the next day, the royal castle was under heavy guard, and the attackers were being interrogated.
 At first, Viscount Bard remained silent, but when he learned that Corzino was already dead, his shoulders slumped and he began to tell the story of the incident little by little.
 As for Malph, which was taking place at the same time, he soon confessed.

 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

............ Right.

 A document outlining the details of the incident was read out by Prime Minister Magna in the conference room.
 The people in this room were the King, Duke Eric, Prime Minister Magna, the Knight Commander of Tifana, and the Deputy Commander of the Dime.
 The King had hoped that Cain's father, Garum, would be there as well, but unfortunately he was in the Gracia territory and was not present.
 Cain said, "Shall I bring him in for a moment? I asked, but I couldn't disclose the transition magic yet, and the meeting proceeded in my absence.

''The person who had a direct hand in it was former Senator Maluf, but under Corzino's direction, we may be asked about crossing the border to the Ilsin Republic as well. Even so, the fact that he tried to make the sons of noblemen, including the Princess, into illegal slaves will be an excuse to attack us.

 The king was troubled by the words of Prime Minister Magna, with a difficult expression on his face.
 If you make even one mistake in handling the situation, there will be a war for sure. Honestly, the war can be won if there is one person because Cain is there.
 However, Cain is a minor, and even if a war does occur, we can't let him stand on the battlefield.
 Even the laws of the Esfort Kingdom forbade minors to go to war.
 The proposals that were put together one after another, and the letter that summarized them was to be delivered to the parliament of the Istin Republic.

'Hmm, that's good. Speaking of which, Cain. If you can return, you're probably still on a study tour. I've added an extra guard to Therese and the others, but I'd appreciate it if you would join me in case anything else happens.

 Those words reminded Cain that he was still on his way home.
 What would he think if he met the students, who would be returning to King's Landing in a few days, at King's Landing?
''How could Cain, who had seen the students off, be able to meet them all at King's Landing?
 I'm sure everyone will be wondering that. You can't spread rumors about transference magic.
 In fact, the transference magic was used to carry the attackers, but the death penalty for all of them has already been confirmed.
 As for the Kingsguard Order, there was a strict gag order on Cain's magic as well.

''That's right. I'll quickly join you and come back with you.''
It would help me if you did. I'm sure you'd be safe with me, no matter what comes at you.
Okay. Well, as soon as I get dressed, then.

 Cain cast the transfer magic on the spot.
 He was told by the king as much as possible not to be seen by his followers, and he was given permission to use magic in the royal castle as a special case.
 After returning to the mansion and changing into his uniform, Cain left a few words for Coran and Silvia, and transitioned on the spot.

 The destination of the transition was the border fort.
 The students were supposed to have already entered the Esfort Kingdom.
 Instead of stopping at Terenza, the city ruled by Viscount Bard, they were planning to return directly to the royal capital or stop at Drintru, where Cain ruled.
 Cain would pass through the fort to enter the Esfort Kingdom alone.
 No, it would be more accurate to say that he passed through the sky above it.
 As it was, he slowly flew through the air along the road, and after two hours, he found the carriage carrying the students.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
