Chapter 129
Then, something shimmering black appeared around him.
―This is unfamiliar… Is it the spirit of darkness? Does this kind of spirit exist?
Enzo muttered with interest.
―Kukuk, isn’t it a spirit suitable for the dirty Imperial Family? To think that even the purest spirits were dyed black…
As Lucian quickly dodged the black smoke, he approached Elliot like lightning and swung his sword. Instead of Elliot, who quickly dodged, the sofa split in half the next moment.
“Ha, are you finally showing your true colors?”
Elliot uttered in an annoyed tone. The Prince wiped his face and brushed his hair roughly.
…Where the hell did he hide it, even the things she used disappeared.
When he couldn’t find her even with the spirit, his impatience rose to the limit and he tried to subdue Lucian with his spirit. He was confident because he had never seen the spirit of darkness, who used the negative side of people as a source of power, be pushed back.
Meanwhile, Lucian could not stop attacking even though he knew that there were imperial knights all over his mansion. It’d been quite a while since he wanted to kill Elliot, who was openly aiming for his own.
Elliot explored the surroundings as he evaded Lucian, who gave no answer and quickly swung his sword.
Although he lifted the cabinet with the power of the spirit and threw it away, Lucian jumped in while cutting it casually. He dodged the rushing sword in a straight line, but Elliot’s clothes got tangled.
Suddenly pinned to the wall, he burst into rage and grabbed Lucian by the collar.
“Sh*t, what the hell are you?”
As Lucian flicked away the dark energy, Elliot picked up the scattered black smoke as if it could not affect him.
The vicious purple eyes looked straight at the golden eye stained with madness.
“You know what?”
“….”
When Lucian, who didn’t want to answer that much, stared at him silently, Elliot didn’t stop talking as if he hadn’t expected an answer from him.
He pointed to his own right eye.
“This eyeball is not mine. It’s as if the little girl took it… Kuhk, the sauce the kid poured in was very nasty so I found someone with identical eyeballs and plucked them out. Ah, I’m keeping one of my eyeballs for a gift later. Also, she said she liked it, so I prepared all kinds of spicy food…. so that means all I need is the little girl. Do you understand me?”
“…Would it matter?”
“What?”
“You’re going to die anyway, it doesn’t matter if your eyeballs are yours or not.”
“…Kuh, kukuh.”
Elliot found it funny and couldn’t stand it.
How the hell was he going to kill him? Lucian would be nothing short of a clueless fool who didn’t know anything about why Elliot had come to the Imperial Family, or why the Emperor was bothering him.
“Kill me, then, because I’m not just an imperial family. If I die, the Emperor will be in great trouble. Oh,
and I have proof that Duchy Leon is a traitor. There is evidence that the previous Duke ordered it…”
Elliot threatened to blackmail him with the letter the woman gave him earlier. Even if Lucian liked the little girl, would it be enough to give up his family name?
The nobles he dealt with never did. They would rather protect their family, even if it means sacrificing someone else. Even if it’s Duchy Leon, wouldn’t they disappear without a trace if they were falsely accused of being traitors?
However, he had to wait again.
Elliot, who couldn’t wait any longer, widened his eyes and shook Lucian’s collar wildly, and shouted.
“Give it up! She’s mine! She was mine from then on…!”
It was the same with Lucian, who couldn’t hold back his anger any longer. He moved the scabbard diagonally, holding Elliot against her wall.
As he was about to cut his throat with the wall, an annoying knock was heard.
“Prince, are you here?”
Seeing Lucian paused at the voice of the Imperial Knight Commander, Elliot burst out laughing. In the end, he couldn’t even cut him recklessly. For one who had swung his sword without thinking, it was ridiculous to see him stop at the sound of a knock.
“Get out.”
Elliot, who let go of Lucian’s collar, tossing it, tore off his clothes stuck in the sword. Then, he quickly opened the door just in case.
“Did you find it?”
“I’m sorry, Prince. I’ve searched all over the annex in the corner though I can’t find her.”
“…Nonsense!”
Elliot turned his head and glared at Lucian, who had already tucked the sword in, and stared at him ignorantly.
―Hihi, what did I say? They’ll never find it?
Lucian heard Enzo’s voice and raised his lips.
Indeed, seeing that she went unnoticed as he said, it seemed that he was not just a great wizard in words.
Seeing this, Elliot rolled his eyes and eventually went on a search until the morning sun, but he couldn’t find a single strand of Rachel’s hair.
However, just by having Samuel and Martina in the mansion, the Duchy could not escape their sins. In the desolate mansion where everyone had gone, Pedro called Lucian. The father and son sat facing each other on the sofa in the office and drank tea in silence for a while.
With a haggard face from not sleeping, Pedro opened his mouth first.
“Where did you put Ray?”
“You don’t need to know.”
Despite Lucian’s cold reply, Pedro couldn’t say anything. He wiped his tired face and began to share what he had shared with the Emperor.
“There was something I shared with the Emperor. It wasn’t a duke’s duty, rather, it was something I took on because I wanted to do it.”
“What is it?”
“Have you ever heard of a possessor?”
“….”
Seeing that Lucian didn’t answer, Pedro nodded his head.
“Of course, you’ve never heard of it.”
“What does it mean to be a possessor?”
“Since ancient times, something mysterious has happened. Appearing from time to time, they claimed to be their ancestors. They claimed their ownership, saying that thanks to them, the current Leonis Empire exists.”
“The possessor…”
“Yes, the present was no different. I also had a direct conversation with a possessor and the Emperor was also very interested in the possessor, so I conducted an investigation behind the scenes.”
At those words, Lucian’s eyes sparkled at the new information.
“Have you met one?”
“…Yes.”
“Who is that?”
Pedro struggled to say his name as he remembered his distant past.
“Liam de Erland.”
“…Ray’s father?”
“Yes.”
“He…”
Instead of Lucian, who couldn’t bear to speak, Pedro spoke instead.
“Yes, he died, my lover and a new ancestor took over his body.”
Lucian remembered Enzo. Wasn’t he also his ancestor? However, he never occupied the body even though he said to borrow it.
Feeling strange, he focused on Pedro’s words.
“He looked for me first. The man called the first head of Erland and told me that Liam was dead. I thought Liam was angry so I swore to love him with my life… but in the end, I couldn’t abandon the family and I thought I couldn’t forgive myself for letting go of my hand first.”
“….”
“Still… I couldn’t help but notice. It was the same person, but it was strangely different. From the eyes to the expression, habits, and tastes, everything has changed… I couldn’t help but notice.”
Lucian thought of Rachel for a moment. If that happened to her, he choked just imagining that Rachel would change into someone else.
Because of that, he felt a little pity for his father.
“Lucian.”
When Pedro called him, Lucian lifted his lowered gaze. His father, who seemed infinitely tall when he was young, was getting old before he knew it.
“Now, I won’t say I’m sorry.”
Lucian’s eyes widened slightly at his unexpected remark.
“Instead, I will support you. That love that I couldn’t achieve… you should have it.”
“….”
“Before that, I have something to ask you.”
For some reason, Lucian felt a little upset. Although he couldn’t figure out why, he really was.
“Yes, ask.”
“What would you do if you had to choose between Rachel and your family?”
It was a really easy question.
“All I need is Rachel.”
Pedro laughed at his son’s answer. What a succinct answer.
“In that case, we will have to move busily from today. All Duchy companies and the financial sector within the Capital must be moved to the territory.”
“I’m thinking of moving the means of transportation first.”
“Yes, that’s not bad either.”
Just because the Empire had been in existence since the time it was built, the Leon family didn’t just hold power now. Most of the businesses that were connected like a spider’s web within the capital were run by Duchy Leon’s company.
Distribution, transportation, restaurant, clothing, finance, and countless other businesses must return to the territory…
The two people’s opinions had one thing in common.
It meant getting out of the capital. Far from here, Leon estate was also a splendid city no less than the capital.
“This is a list of suspects that I researched and gathered. Fortunately, I did not deliver this to the Emperor.”
As he quickly flipped through the list, among them, Lucian soon picked up a familiar name.
“Noah de Castile…”
“He is also a possessor.”
Lucian, holding the list, twisted his lips.
