Episode #187. now i get it

‘I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.’

[I was so lucky.]

‘That’s right.’

After today’s practice.

After briefly saying hello to Julia, Limon left the drawing room and smiled.

Being able to confidently enter the main building, which seemed completely impossible to infiltrate, was an unexpected achievement even if you think about it yourself.

It was to the point where I wanted to say thank you to Max for creating this opportunity.

Although, of course, if I actually met him again, there was a higher chance that I would blow a bamboo stick instead of a present.

[So what are you going to do now? Do you want to film a spy movie tonight?]

‘No, that’s the last resort.’

Limon shook his head.

Although it was expected, the level of security in the main building was different from that of the outside.

In fact, the main building itself was divided into inner castles, and even servants and maids, as well as outsiders, were prohibited from entering unless they were members of the Blue Dragon clan.

In other words, this is the real heart of the blue dragon clan.

Even Limon didn’t have the confidence to sneak around a place like this.

[Then, are you going to make a futile effort to create an informant again?]

‘Why do you call that a futile effort?’

[That’s right, you said you were going to find someone to collect information from the team leader, but you couldn’t find a person to talk to, let alone an informant?]

‘That’s because there was no one who felt the need to approach.

[well. I think it was because the team leader was so bad at dating people.] ‘

…Have you finished talking now?’

[Huh, if you want to hit it, try hitting it! That’s because the truth doesn’t give in!]

Yuna-kyung said confidently, sticking out her chubby belly.

Let’s look at the spirited figure reminiscent of Billy the Kid, the swordsman who invaded the stronghold alone to rob the safe of the Golden Dragon clan.

Limon finally let go of his fingers and snorted.

‘Okay then, let’s see. I’ll show you how to make an informant properly.’

[Show me what you want. If the team leader makes at least one informant properly, what will happen even if I pluck all my feathers…]

“Hmm?”

right at that moment.

Limon stopped abruptly.

It was because he felt that someone appeared by teleportation just beyond the corner he was about to return to.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt it once, and I’m going to have a good time with my opponent who can’t be mistaken.

Limon pretended not to know for the moment and moved his steps across the corner.

And saw.

The person who talked to him as if he had accidentally bumped into him while passing by.

“Ah, seeing that you are a new face, it seems that you are the musician that Julia brought. Nice to meet you.”

As if she had prepared it in advance, the woman who had greeted her like flowing water suddenly shut her mouth.

After blinking his eyes several times, he spoke in a trembling voice.

“…you are?”

“I saw it a few days ago, but to see it for the first time, does the Count have a surprisingly poor memory?”

“Ah, that’s…” He

stuttered for a while like an actor with a twisted script.

After taking a deep breath, Rose slightly lowered her head and spoke politely.

“Excuse me. I was taken aback for a moment because I didn’t expect to see you here again.”

“What is fine? Anyone can get confused when they meet someone they know in an unexpected place.”

[Chief, you really can’t disguise yourself. No, where is the person who squeaks flat words at his employer? That too to the Count.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘Then should I speak respectfully to a child at this age?’

[Even to Sir, who is said to be older than the team leader, you don’t treat her with respect!]

‘Noisy man.’

Rose looked at Limon, who was quarreling with Yuna-kyung, with strange eyes.

It was because she did not know that the musician who had confused her for the past few days was this dark-haired young man.

If he was a common young man, he would have been so, but Lee was originally unique.

Putting aside the act of calmly feeding the thief with a lariat, it was because of the archaic use of the perfect aristocratic tone.

Of course, the most unusual thing is the history of performing with the white dragon princess.

But Rose didn’t bother to point out the peculiarity.

I just asked out of the blue.

“Then the servant who tried to assault you…”

“Yes, he was the thief then.”

“I’m really sorry.”

Rose sincerely apologized.

Because of his mismanagement, Limon, who caught the thief, was almost harmed.

“done. I had already received the apology from that knight. Thanks to that, the room was moved to a better place.”

“Ah…”

As if I remembered something I forgot.

Rose, who had a puzzled look on her face, opened her mouth again with a clearing of her throat.

“Well, I guess that’s not enough compensation.”

“Is that enough for me?”

“Especially, I think that a shabby place like the drawing room is too inadequate as a practice place for first-rate musicians like Julia and you.”

“…Do you know that you can buy a few houses just by selling a few decorations in that drawing room?”

While pretending not to hear what Limon pointed out, Rose continued with a sincere face as if this was compensation for the victim.

“Anyway, in that sense, I have something to tell you…”

“The princess has a problem.”

“Is there a problem?”

It was almost simultaneous.

The fact that Lucas crossed the space and appeared behind Rose.

The fact that she clenched her fists for a moment and looked back at him with her sincere face.

Limon made a strange expression.

It was because she realized what she was trying to do through the psionics that momentarily formed on her fist and scattered, or the minute muscle movements.

However, Lucas reported with a serious face, not knowing that he had almost been hit in the stomach.

“Prince Carol has come to visit.”

“If it’s something like that, there’s no need to report it…”

“The Crown Prince and Duke Robert as well.”

“…”

Rose’s face hardened at once.

* * *

“Shin Rose Sea Serpent, see Your Highness, Prince Edward.”

“Don’t be so rigid, Countess Rose. Aren’t we supposed to be so formal?”

“There must be order among the lower vassals.”

A young man with faded blond hair smiled wryly at Rose’s polite words.

Contrary to his grandiose status as the heir to a country that held hegemony in Europe, Edward seemed weak because of his withered physique.

“Miss Rose is right, nephew. No matter how close you are, the more formal you are, the better you should be.”

Contrary to his own words, it was Robert, a man of great proportions, who confidently gave his opinion.

His attitude was so arrogant that it was difficult to tell whether he was giving advice or ridiculing.

But only Rose slightly frowned.

Not only Carol, who was by his side, but also Edward, the person in charge, did not point out his words.

As a big adult representing the royal family and a great supply player, Edward had the right to say such things to him, who had served as regent since he was a child.

“By the way Miss Rose, why are you so late? Isn’t it the duty of a servant to rush out to the gates of the city and greet him when he arrives?”

“I’m sorry, Duke Robert. I was late because I didn’t hear from you in advance.”

“Heung, it’s okay if you know.”

Of course, that didn’t mean he had the right to admonish even Rose.

But Rose didn’t bother to point it out here, making him blush with a man known for his hard temper.

I just asked calmly.

“In that sense, I’d like to ask you, but if you don’t mind me, can you tell me why your lord made such a sudden visit without a message?”

“That’s…”

“Hehe, I’ll answer that.”

“…Princess Carol is still talking to you.”

“It’s a story that might be difficult for the Crown Prince to discuss directly. Wouldn’t it be the duty of a servant to step up in this situation?”

Carol left with a big smile.

Rose looked at him, then looked away.

And when he saw that not only Prince Edward with a puzzled expression, but even Duke Robert tolerating Carol’s actions, he sighed inwardly.

I expected it from the moment I heard that they came together, but it became clear that Carol moved them.

And the reason he did this was obvious.

“…Is that because of that too?”

“Didn’t you tell me, if you want to discuss the matter, ask the Crown Prince for permission first.”

“So you’re saying you brought the lowly person with you?”

“If I told you that you only came with permission, wouldn’t you agree easily? Besides, I thought, of course, that Your Highness should come here as well.”

Carol lightly accepted Rose’s stern gaze.

And with a meaningful smile, he quietly ended his speech.

“Above all, this is what determines the future of London.”

* * *

Expand your senses.

far farther and farther.

The senses that stretched along only a few thin threads cleverly squeeze through the gaps in the old castle and reach the destination.

Then, he focuses on minute vibrations that resonate with the air passing through the thread.

‘Above all, this is a seat that will determine the future of London.’

“done.”

And when Limon succeeds in breaking through all barriers and soundproofing equipment and detecting the voice resounding in the living room, he smiles of repentance.

Yuna-kyung murmured tremblingly.

[Team leader, it’s honestly amazing that you can replace wiretaps with just a few strands of thread. If this is done wrong, stalking is inevitable…]

“I’m talking about something important right now, so shut up.”

[Yes.]

Yuna-kyung calmly shut up.

Normally, he would have chatted a few more words, but the situation was different now.

Secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between the magic lord and the blue dragon princess was a task that required great concentration even for him as a sword master.

Of course, the risk of getting caught was just as great.

Still, Limon decided to take the risk because he thought it was worth it.

The Blue Dragon Princess, a noble with a long history.

The magic lord who is the owner of a teenage guild.

The Crown Prince’s uncle and regent, the duke.

These three men are the ones who hold in their hands the power and money of the British Empire.

At the same time, politically, their discussions, who were also heads of the aristocracy, citizenship, and royalist faction, could not have been ordinary.

And Limon’s prediction was correct.

beyond expectations.

Eavesdropping on the conversation allowed Limon to learn something very important.

“…Did you really make a fuss about this?”

The reason why Carol even attracted the royal family.

Limon, who had overheard the grand goal of persuading Rose, murmured, furrowing his brow involuntarily.

“Now I understand why the witches of the 27 lineage of witches were murdered.”
