Chapter 184

Proofreader: ChupaChupa

The courtyard was given a rough repair, and I greeted Lucas in it.

(In fact, he comes as soon as we make a deal.)

Lucas’ eyes sparkled with excitement because he was particularly interested in the supernatural.

And he, who had a very close relationship with Ricardo began to talk to us, and showed us how much he wanted to go in there at once.

I exchanged glances with Ricardo. Obviously, we could take Lucas everywhere but the basement.

Besides that, I decided not to show him anything that might be a clue about Vika.

(OK, come on!)

First, we showed him around on the first floor.

“That’s the kitchen and this is the guest room. to the kitchen is Britney‘s laboratory. Behind it is the servant’s room.”

“Miss Britney has developed so many kinds of products!”

“Ahhhh, just my little hobby.”

, after visiting the second floor, we went to the third floor.

“Over there is Ryuze onii-sama‘s room. Except for cleaning, no one was allowed to go in, so I only go in when I need to. And Ricardo’s room is there.”

“Although there is nothing to see…”

As Ricardo spoke, he led Lucas into the room, so we could see that their relationship was so good…

Most of Ricardo’s friends had become estranged after the events that Mirarudo had caused.

And Lucas was one of his few remaining friends.

The stress of thinking about their relationship was killing my stomach…

After showing him around all the rooms, we greeted Lucas in the guest room.

But Maria called me out.

“Lord Britney, the envoy from the castle…”

“Em? About Lord Lucas?”

“No, no, that’s…”

Whatever it was, I went to his side. 

“What happened?”

</aside>

The envoy said to me in a whisper.

“Has Lord Angela been here?”

“No, what happened to her?”

Then, the envoy whispered again.

“Please keep it a secret, Lord Angela has disappeared from yesterday. We have already searched around the city, but we still couldn’t find her. Now, we want to search outside the city…”

“What? Disappeared?!”

“Yes, Lord Merrill and Lord Emyria are looking for her secretly. No one knows anything except them.”

“I got it, we will also join you in searching secretly. We all worry about her very much.” 

After receiving the envoy, I borrowed a few subordinates from Ryuze and asked them to  search for Angela. After that, I called out Ricardo, who was talking to Lucas, to explain the situation a little bit.

When we talked about Angela, Maria came again.

“Lord Britney, Lord Ricardo, that envoy returned…”

“Ohh?”

The envoy was there again when we arrived at the door hall.

“What happened this time?”

“Emmmm…”

Emirya stood next to the swallowing envoy.

“I met the prince of the South Country on my way back to the castle, as if he had arrived at his destination but returned immediately.” 

Emirya looked at me and said first.

“The king of the Central Country fell down, as if it was because of poisoning. But fortunately, he still alive now.”

“Well…”

I looked at Emirya in shock, Ricardo was also surprised.

“Isn’t it supposed to be a secret…can you tell us?”

“I don’t know where the news came from, but it spreads all over the city.”

Both Angela and Britney didn’t take any action, but the king fell down.

What was going on?

“They suspect Angela did it.”

</aside>

“But Lord Angela wouldn’t do that kind of thing.”

“It’s strange that rumors began to seep in early, Angela was treated as a suspect for no reason. We can only assume that someone is acting in secret.”

She might do it if she was the one she used to be. But she was very upright now.

She was going to marry Emirya and would not poison their loved ones at such times.

And obviously, there was no advantage in doing such a thing.

“Someone wants to put the blame on Lord Angela.”

“By the way, I was also the subject of suspicion because I came from the South Country. In the rumors, there was one saying Angela was led by the South Country’s direction.”

“How?! What are the benefits of doing this kind of thing?”

It might be the North Country…?

(But it’s really weird.)

Both I and Angela had turned over a new leaf, but the King of the Central Country was poisoned like the plot of the Shoujo Manga. In addition, they even took Angela as a criminal suspect.

(She is just missing, but those people believe she has run away.)

So weird.

“Lord Emirya, is there any clue about where Lord Angela is?”

“No, she might also be confined to somewhere, you know, for fabricating those tumors.”

“We have to find her first.”

“Yeah, can Lucas come to the castle after the tour?”

“I got it.”

Emirya was supposed to stay here before Lucas finished his visit.

But in fact, he has already basically visited the whole house. However…

When I came back to the guest room with Ricardo and Emirya, Lucas was not in it.

“Strange…?”

It didn’t look like someone had been in the hall, so he probably didn’t just leave.

“So that…Does it mean…”

Suddenly there was a bad expectation in my mind, then, I turned and rushed into the basement.
