NOVEL NEXT chapter 33
33 – Episode 33
The only people who entered the room were the crown prince and the criminal he saw earlier.
Looks like they didn’t let people in here except for the people involved in the case and the people in charge.
After about 5 minutes, the people with masks on their faces move the people who are lying on the bed as they are.
The work progressed quickly as most of them were unconscious.
The prince looked at him and was drinking a drink that smelled sour and unpleasant, from where he had bought it.
“Ah, are you feeling well?
I personally even contacted the cathedral to send a skilled priest.”
“Yes, thanks to you, I am very healthy.”
The prince grinned at those words and sat down on the empty bed.
Putting his feet on the mat with his shoes on.
Thanks to that, the white sheet got dirty.
“You may go outside, priest.
If there’s anything else you want, tell me later.
For now, wait in front of the room.”
At that, Belita politely bowed her head and left the room with a controlled step.
Maybe they walk around like that at the cathedral.
The child who seemed to be loose until just now looks so solemn that he cannot even speak.
“Oh, close the door too.”
She smirked and waved her hand gently at me before closing the sliding door softly to silence it.
The feeling that only I can see that kind of image makes me feel a little better.
“I’m thinking of a reward…Is there anything you’d like to receive?”
“I’m not sure yet.”
“Hey, how common is the opportunity to receive a reward from me?
Since you’re going to the same place anyway, I’ll listen to it slowly, or I’ll pick it up and bring it to you.
Well, there are things I need to do.”
Saying that, he pulled out an iron ball from within his bosom.
A small marble that has been scratched and is about to split in half after bumping into something.
“Julietta, cast a soundproofing spell.
And take it out quickly.”
Then she gently touches the bespectacled nerd next to her with her elbow.
She glared at the crown prince once, then started explaining while moving her forehead.
“This is the bullet the assassins used this time.
Probably the bullets that the slum warlocks put a suitable curse on.
So I called the priest, because I have to curse.”
The woman called Julieta raised her glasses once and pulled out a picture from her bosom.
It is a picture of a human wearing the traditional costume of a tribe in the east.
Then he opens his mouth in a machine-like tone.
“Did you find out what the shooters looked like, what accessories they were wearing, and what was special about them?
You must have seen the appearance of the crown prince and several students in the academy with heroic activities.”
After saying that, he gently shakes the picture.
At least he wasn’t wearing anything like that.
Aren’t all those who took out blunderbuss and shot them in school uniforms in the first place?
And how do I know what pendant you’re wearing while you pull out your gun and shoot?
But this wasn’t a question to check the facts.
“Ah. Well, it’s fine not to listen deeply.
I managed to catch the culprit this time, but there are no clues and nothing has been revealed.
The strange thing is that they just chewed the poison in their mouths and died right away.
As soon as everyone committed suicide, the corpses were also crumbled, what?”
I was unconscious after being shot, but I saw it while being carried away by the crown prince and bleeding.
A few students, and masked humans who suddenly appeared around the prince, captured a human with a blunderbuss alive.
It looks like he was captured right away.
However, when you look at the way he speaks in a playful manner, it seems that he is told to listen with one ear and let it out with the other.
“Then what am I supposed to do?”
“hahahaha, I don’t know if the criminals flew to the sky or fell to the ground, but they disappeared anyway.
I think I know roughly where it is, but it’s a place I don’t need to touch right now.”
For a moment, it was as if an eye light was reflected in his eyes.
It was a blue eye that gave goosebumps.
“What you need to do is simple. Evenly, whichever way.
Aren’t the assassins you saw wearing some unusual pendants?
Like the mark of an organization.”
A woman named Julieta had just cut out the part where the pendant was drawn separately from a picture of a human wearing a traditional costume.
Then she took another picture of her from her arms and showed it to me. Place one on the left and the other on the right.
“My father likes the left side and I personally prefer the right side.”
He looks at me and smiles.
I pointed at the bizarre-shaped pattern on the star on the right that looked like the moon had been poked into it.
Then the prince’s face brightened noticeably.
“Yes, you are fluent. Julieta, I have more to tell you.”
At that, Giulietta opened her mouth slightly before she began to explain.
“Ah, come to think of it, it is known that you threw yourself in place of Your Highness and got shot and are in a critical condition.”
“Yes?”
It’s all right.
“The priest is also undergoing treatment diligently, but things are not going well.”
I nodded.
“Well, that’s all you need to know.
“Next, come into the imperial palace and tell your father directly.
Think hard about the rewards you will receive until then.
It looks like he saved Misty, but on the surface, he’s also the benefactor who saved my life.
Ah, is it okay if I saved Misty?”
Your father is the emperor.
You have to say something that makes sense.
I felt like things were getting bigger.
“Your Highness, no matter how much this is…”
“Julietta, it’s fine to vomit and intercept my words, but you have to cover the time and place.
I’m going to see Misty’s face. What should I do?”
“I have to follow you, because Your Highness may do something extraordinary again.”
They opened the door and tried to get out.
But maybe Belita was leaning against her door, and he hit her buttock behind her.
“Ouch.”
“I didn’t expect you to be leaning right against the door, excuse me.”
Belita grabbed her waist and stood up.
She then stands with her hands on her belly with her back bowed as if she had fallen down.
As if nothing had happened.
She honestly almost burst out laughing, but she somehow covered her mouth and held it back.
The prince saw Belita still unmoved and scratched the back of her head as if she was a little embarrassed, then turned around and spoke to me.
“I have to stay here for three days.
Officially, your condition is so critical that you are dying.”
“You mean here?”
I’d rather be in my room.
There are no books, nothing to play with, and no tobacco to smoke.
“Yeah, what’s the problem… Um, um. I’m thinking of another good thing.”
He takes a nearby chair and sits on it crookedly.
An unpleasant screeching sound of scratching the floor passes through your ears.
The prince didn’t care and crossed his legs and frowned.
“Your Highness…?”
“Be quiet, Julieta. I’m just trying to figure out whether or not I’m thinking of an incredibly ingenious idea.”
The prince stared at Belita.
Then he repeated looking at me alternately.
Beside her, Julieta let out a sigh and crossed her arms in displeasure as though it was familiar, and crossed her legs.
Then she smiles.
“I entrusted your background investigation and found out that she stayed in the same orphanage as Belita, and you belonged to the duke’s family, and Belita became her priest because of her talent.
I don’t know what happened to the orphans in the slums, but anyway.
So she picked up her priest named Veli Tar and told me to send her away. She is an order from the imperial family, but no matter how talented the people in the cathedral are, they can’t send a commoner without an order, right?
No, it’s out of order, anyway… Anyway. Yes. Stories are made Ah, I don’t know how to put together.
Let’s spit it out.”
Just right. Right. Right. Right.
The blonde man continues his thoughts as he frantically stomps his shoes on the floor, his gaze unfocused.
I was just embarrassed, but Giulietta stood there as if nothing was wrong, and Belita stood still, not moving at all like a stone statue.
“Yes, a competent commoner priest who will be in charge of that treatment will treat you without a sigh for three days.
Obviously, the salary is higher than expected.
The son of a duke who easily won a human from the Breslau family who was out of breath, and that was around 1st place in his class.
And the two of you should fall in love, no, you should fall in love. It would be perfect if we just ordered the marriage in the plaza.
The guests are moderately filled with people from the imperial family, noble merchants, talented commoners, and charming nobles. He’s as charming as commoners. Also.”
Julietta was writing down the prince’s self-talk in a small notebook.
All the words that pass by quickly to the level of mumbling.
“It’s dramatic, it’s dramatic.
Then it should be a happy ending.”
Just right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
The prince stops stamping his feet and starts shaking his legs frantically.
“It takes a while to be an illegitimate child, but it’s a solvable problem.
Someone might risk their birth, but at least the common people don’t know about it.
I wonder if there will be an uproar in the Breslau family.
Ah, I said that my daughter’s head was half full of flower fields.
Is it worth it? It’s worth it, I’m not yet an emperor. Should I do it?”
Just right. Right. Right. Right.
“When will a damn old man grow old?
Go out and talk, Julieta.
Did you write down all my self-talk?
Listen more. And run it.”
“Okay.”
Muttering, he gets up from his chair and leaves the room.
Giulietta follows him, writing something down over his ear.
A little bit of fear rose up at that appearance, which seemed to be possessed by a little ghost.
“What was it?”
“Sure.”
“Eric, do you know anyone here? I’m very worried.”
“Well, maybe. Maybe. Maybe not.”
If you’re Xenia, you might be worried on the first day.
“Hey, what is that?”
“So, do you have someone to worry about when you get hurt?”
“Yes!”
“Who are you?”
“Someone I haven’t seen in a long time.”
