Chapter 29 Double Trap (3)

“I failed.”

There was even a faint complexion on the face of the woman who spoke as she looked at Utekan.

How many failures has there already been?

“All the guys we sent were dead and the area was in ruins. Of course, Zion Agnes wasn’t there.”

There is a saying that you can’t get used to failure.

The woman deeply agreed with those words.

Therefore, the woman always considered all the variables that could arise when planning everything and put in more effort than that.

Thanks to this, there were almost no failures.

However, nothing was successful in relation to Sion Agnes.

“What on earth went wrong this time?”

Dozens of mid-level demons and two high-level demons.

At that level, it was enough to wipe out a small city in one night.

Even if Prince Shion’s body was intact, it was not a power that could be easily annihilated.

There must have been some other variable.

“I do not know.”

Utekan shakes his head in response to the woman’s question.

The woman’s eyes, seeing Utekan’s expression, were filled with doubt.

“What, you’re calmer than I thought? “I thought Gilgil would be angry.”

Utekan’s face was so calm that he even mobilized one of his units because he thought it was a golden opportunity.

Just like a person who hasn’t failed.

Soon, a low voice came out of Utekan’s mouth.

“Isn’t it strange?”

“what?”

“It’s been so quiet since then.”

A week has already passed since the attack.

If it were the original Sion Agnes, it would have been time to move long ago.

Because he was the type of person who could never sit still after something happened.

“Sure, that’s a bit strange.”

The woman nodded at him.

“According to the information I have gathered, Sion Agnes has not been coming out of her bedroom at all for some time now. “He’s not even eating properly, and he’s turning away everyone who came to see him.”

“That can’t be… … .”

at that time,

“Yes. This means that Zion Agnes may be in a serious condition right now.”

Next to them, the King of Death, Hanosral, suddenly appeared and opened his mouth.

His eyes were sparkling with cold anger, unlike before when he had no emotions at all.

Hanosral’s anger after failing to steal the angel’s blood from Angelosh territory and losing his direct subordinate, Cesarus, was even exceeding Utekan.

“therefore… … Although we managed to annihilate the guys we sent, there is a possibility that Sion Agnes was also seriously injured and is recuperating at Chimseong Palace, right?”

“There is information that he is not just recuperating, but has even taken a strange doctor with him. “It could be life-threatening.”

Hanosral nodded and answered the woman’s question.

“But maybe not. “You can’t move too hastily.”

Next to him, Utekan opens his mouth with sunken eyes.

Normally, with this level of information and circumstantial evidence, one would be certain, but the other person was Sion Agnes.

A person who has a more detailed and deeper mind than anyone else and always shows moves that exceed their expectations.

So there was a possibility that all of this was a hoax.

There were also experiences that had already happened.

“Then how can you be sure?”

Perhaps now might be the biggest opportunity to kill Sion Agnes.

An opportunity that will never come again.

So I had to decide quickly.

“The grand banquet will be held in two days. Let’s decide there.”

Utekan answered the woman’s question with a cold face.

* * *

“after… … .”

Maid Kali sighed softly as she walked down the hallway of Chimseong Palace.

There is only one reason why she sighs.

The point was that Prince Zion had not been seen at all recently.

Of course, this did not hinder her work as a maid, but the problem was her other status.

Snow planted in Chimseong Palace by the 4th prince.

That was Kali’s original identity.

‘I have nothing to report.’

For over a week now, the only report to the higher-ups was, ‘He didn’t come out of his bedroom again today.’

In addition, access to the bedroom was blocked, so there was no way to obtain information.

‘I have to make a different move somehow… … uh?’

At that time, Kali caught sight of Knight Fredo, Prince Sion’s confidant, talking to someone in the corner of the hallway.

She quickly leans into a corner and listens to the conversation.

“… … “Is there no way to get there?”

“okay. “In fact, it’s getting worse.”

The person Fredo was talking to was the white-haired woman who had been seen inside Chimseong Palace a few days ago.

Aside from Fredo, she is the only woman who can enter Prince Sion’s bedroom.

Although the woman’s identity was unknown, Kali could guess that their conversation was related to Prince Zion.

“If we continue like this, even our lives may be in danger.”

“Well, like that! Ah, His Highness Zion… … .”

The woman’s words and Fredo’s lament follow.

There was no need to hear any more.

‘Prince Zion is in critical condition!’

This was information that would cause a huge uproar if it became known to the world.

It must be known.

It was right that this information should be reported to the higher-ups as quickly as possible.

Kali quietly walks away, keeping her voice as low as possible.

After her appearance completely disappeared,

Pop.

The sound of the conversation between Fredo and the woman stopped, as if they had made a promise.

Agnes Grand Banquet.

It was the largest banquet held in the empire and one of the major events of the imperial family.

In fact, it is a gathering of the highest level of power that leads the Agnes Empire.

Therefore, the royal family also attended this banquet regularly.

One side of the huge banquet hall where such a large banquet is held.

“… … .”

Priscilla, sitting at a table in the corner, was looking at the banquet hall with complicated eyes.

There is one reason she is here.

This was because her father, Gustav Barmel, brought her with him.

-Come and build connections with children from other families.

Priscilla could not disobey her father.

Because he was being hated enough for breaking off his engagement with Prince Sion Agnes without consulting his family.

Of course, she was regretting it now, but the divorce process was already nearing its end.

‘however… … ‘Isn’t Prince Shion coming?’

All other members of the royal family were already in the banquet hall, but Prince Sion was nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, unlike the nobles who followed other royal families, the nobles who supported Prince Zion seemed to be floating in the banquet hall.

“… … .”

Most of them were originally neutral or under the command of Third Prince Enoch, but they were secretly looking at the entrance to the banquet hall with anxious eyes.

at that time,

“Your Highness Zion is late.”

Groud Ozrima, the first successor to the Ozrima family, spoke next to 1st Prince Rubrios.

“Is something happening?”

Starting with his words as if he was targeting,

“So, that’s right. Even if you rarely participate in events, the grand banquet is… … .”

“Maybe he will come? “You were the last one at the last government meeting.”

“For that matter, it’s already almost halfway through the banquet… … .”

As if a dam had broken, stories about Zion began pouring in.

Has everyone been watching until now?

In fact, it had to be that way.

After the late Emperor’s funeral, people’s interest in Prince Zion has skyrocketed more than ever before.

Therefore, all the nobles here were conscious of Zion, knowingly or unknowingly, and the royal family was no exception.

at that time,

“I heard you’re not feeling well? “I didn’t hear it directly.”

As if to answer the questions of those people, the 5th princess Deanna opened her mouth in a passing tone.

“Ah, I also heard that His Highness Zion doesn’t come out of Chimseong Palace these days… … .”

“I heard that story too. “Definitely now is the time when you should be most active, but I have some doubts.”

“I heard you are refusing to meet other people. Could it be that His Highness Zion is really… … .”

Everyone likes gossip, regardless of their status.

That’s why he knew all the rumors about Prince Shion, but he didn’t say them out loud because they were negative.

But Deanna, a member of the royal family, brought up the story first, so there was no need to hold back any longer.

‘Now that I think about it, even though I went to Chimseong Palace these days, they wouldn’t let me in. ‘Is His Highness Sion really unwell?’

When Priscilla was listening to the nobles’ stories, a look of worry appeared on her face.

“I’m really worried. At this level, it’s not just that I’m not feeling well, it could be really serious… … .”

Deanna also muttered with a worried look on her face.

But those who knew the Fifth Princess well knew that she was not really worried.

If that were the case, this story wouldn’t have been brought up at the banquet.

In fact, Deanna’s eyes were moving secretly, observing people’s reactions to her words.

at that time,

“Don’t say that, Deanna. Because Zion will be okay. “It’s not something you can just guess at.”

1st Prince Rubrios, who was quietly listening, refuted.

Deanna looks at him with a questioning expression.

I would have understood it if Evelyn had said this, but Rubrios had absolutely no reason to do so.

So I asked.

“Since when did your relationship with Shion become so good?”

“Whether you like it or not, isn’t Zion our younger brother? “It is natural for families to look after each other.”

“under… … .”

Deanna’s face changed to look even more absurd at Rubrios’ answer.

If you think about it that way, she is also Rubrios’ younger sister, but her behavior is completely different.

“Haha, let’s focus on the banquet now!”

Beside them, 4th Prince Utekan smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“Because there’s no benefit in talking about people who aren’t here.”

However, Utekan’s attention was also focused on Sion.

No, on the contrary, he was paying much more attention than other people.

It’s just that it wasn’t revealed outwardly.

‘If you haven’t come by now… … .’

Utekan thinks as he glances towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

There was a small smile on his lips that others could not notice.

‘It’s definitely true.’

Doubt was turning into certainty.

Sion Agnes suffered serious injuries during the last attack and was now in critical condition.

Since I had already received a report about it from the eyes planted in Chimseong Palace, I could no longer doubt it.

‘Now then, how should we use this opportunity?’

This banquet was no longer important to Utecan.

I just want to quickly make a plan to kill Shion Agnes and put it into action.

‘The first thing we need to do is with the other Oh Ma-ryeong… … .’

It was the moment when red aura flickered in Utekan’s eyes along with that thought.

Jerk.

A single step rang out.

Although it was very quiet, the sound of footsteps was clearly heard in the ears of everyone present in the banquet hall.

“… … !”

At the same time, the heads of Utekan and the people turn at the same time as if possessed by the familiar ominousness felt from the sound of footsteps.

And there,

Jerk.

there he was

A man enters the banquet hall with a languid look in his eyes, wearing the same pitch black robe as usual.

Zion Agnes.

Jerk, jerk.

Even though he was just walking, people couldn’t take their eyes off him.

I wasn’t looking because I wanted to look.

Eyes, hand gestures, gait.

The heterogeneous yet overwhelming atmosphere felt in each one was weighing down people and forcibly pulling their attention.

‘Something has changed.’

Deanna’s eyes wavered as she looked at that scene.

Although her appearance had not changed at all, she certainly felt that way.

In the past, I felt something eerie from that slow gait, but now there was something that went beyond that.

It’s like something that humans can never have.

And it was making even Deanna’s body tremble.

Jerk.

Zion’s steps stop in the center of the banquet hall.

“… … .”

Shion, who took the initiative just by appearing, looked at the people looking at her with calm eyes.

Fear, anger, embarrassment, joy.

Various emotions come into your eyes.

At that moment, Zion’s eyes stopped on Utekan, who was looking at him with wide eyes.

A faint smile slowly formed at the corner of Shion’s mouth.

“Were you waiting for me?”

That smile seemed to see through everything about Utecan.
