CH 118

“If he finds out what I talked about today, he will try to get revenge, saying I’m a traitor.”

“But you managed to come to us.”

Daniel had previously sent a person to Harbert first. He left him, saying, “If you have anything to tell me, come and find me”.

Shortly after that, Harbert came here with a clear look of concern.

“To the rich, profit and loss is like life.”

He really had to take his foot out now. He didn’t know if it was too late. It was a mistake to be on the same boat with Rian from the beginning.

It started to go awry when Rian killed Dana too early, contrary to the plan. And when Dana Deniz’s first substitute ran away, and the second substitute liked the Grand Duke, things had already gone wrong.

In addition, even if Rian and Herbert held hands right now, he would strangle Harbert at any time if he thought it interfered with the work. Otherwise, Rian might pull out first and push Hebert. Before that, he had to run away.

Daniel already guessed who it was, but asked to confirm it through his mouth.

“So, who is that person you’re talking about? Someone who wants revenge.”

“That’s…”

Harbert hesitated to speak with a sweaty face. Daniel was a little annoyed but waited patiently.

Rumble-

“Your Grace!”

Then he suddenly saw the door open and someone entering, and he jumped up and said hello. Leon came in with a distorted face.

When Harbert saw him coming in, his eyes widened and he almost fell backward in surprise.

“That, that, so…!”

Leon went straight to Daniel regardless of his reaction.

“I’m sure you’ve heard that she’s gone.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I heard from Sir Ahil and urgently sent more troops to the mountain.”

“That’s not enough, so I think I’ll have to go through the city.”

“Yes, but then the castle’s security will be a little sparse. Will it be okay?”

“It’s not like the enemy is coming in now, and it doesn’t matter.

At Leon’s firm answer, Daniel wrote a simple phrase to the soldier next to him and delivered it urgently. Nevertheless, Leon’s nervousness had no way of stopping.

Daniel glanced at Leon and continued his conversation earlier.

“Answer me, don’t lie because His Highness is here.”

“That, that, so, Rian Felice…!”

Leon looked at Harbert with a cool face at the mention of the name “Rian Felice”. Then Harbert’s jaw trembled as he recited a series of words.

“All, all, all, it was done by Rian Felice. I just did what he wanted to do! I heard he killed the lady later. Gasp.”

Leon approached Harbert and bent down. He raised his chin and asked in a low voice with his face close to him.

“Ryan Felice killed Dana Deniz.”

At his definite words, Harbert nodded out of spirits.

“Dana Deniz didn’t die. The problem is that she’s gone now. I don’t know if Rian Felice is involved in this.”

“What are you talking about…?”

Harbert blinked at the sound of the strange statement. However, Leon asked more questions than solved his own.

“Is Rian Felice trading hallucinogenic plants?”

“How did you know that? Oh, that’s also what he does on his own. We’ve provided a distribution network at the Deniz merchants, but the manpower used for it are the ones that Rian Felice hired on his own.”

“Good.”

Leon bent over and looked down at him with cold, straight eyes.

“Go and find out where Dana Deniz is from Rian Felice. And after that, let’s watch your behavior. If you tell a lie or open your mouth to Rian Felice…”

“No, it’s not! I’m here to tell you everything… But if it’s Dana Deniz, I mean, your Fiancée… Are you talking about that?”

Harbert didn’t know that the Dana next to the Grand Duke was the real Dana Deniz. However, Leon was not kind enough to explain it bit by bit.

“She’s Dana Deniz. I don’t need anything else.”

Leon smiled and instructed Harbert to leave immediately. Harbert, who understood it, hurriedly went outside. No matter what the reason was, he was just grateful to be let go because of the pressure he had felt.

As he went, he came to his senses. Harbert sighed and looked back.

“Dana Deniz is gone?”

Looking for her without explaining any circumstances, Harbert was embarrassed, but he had a headache thinking of Rian Felice.

“I don’t want to get involved with him anymore…”

Daniel looked out of the window at Harbert, who disappeared scratching his head.

“As expected, I knew that he would react immediately. Rian Felice was the culprit.”

Daniel looked a little reminded of the easy achievements, and soon shut his mouth on seeing Leon’s mixed expression.

“Miss… No, you’ll find the Lady soon.”

“I wish she had gone with her will, now.”

Daniel looked at him with a questionable face at an unexpected remark.

“If she was caught and is struggling because of someone, I can’t stand it this time. It’s the past. Even so, if he touches her right now…”

Leon clenched his fist till his knuckles became white. Daniel gulped and took out the documents he had prepared from the drawer as if he had just remembered.

“I’ve made the documents I ordered in advance. Here… Your Grace’s seal and the new Dana Deniz’s seal are engraved together.”

Leon silently accepted the documents Daniel handed over. Leon’s expression looking at the document seemed to be indifferent.

“Let’s find out what Rian Felice has done. Your Grace, don’t worry too much.”

“I’ll go out there myself.”

“Oh, never mind. Your Grace, if you get involved, things will become more difficult. He is still the son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton. He must be brought to a formal trial…”

“You think I’m going to kill Rian as soon as I see him?”

Whether Leon was right, Daniel couldn’t answer with an awkward look.

“Yeah, I’m regretting it now. I should’ve killed him yesterday morning. That he deserves to die, regardless of whether he is involved in this or not.”

“Your Grace, I’ll go out and come back.”

Daniel packed the documents from earlier, greeted Leon, and hurried outside.
