âHow come you want to restore our relationship?â
âBecause you promised to find our hope, Tia.â
âThen if you find that Tia, you are going to throw Charlize away?â
âThrowing her away? I never had Charlize in the first place.â
Lua glared at Harrison with a scary look on his face.
Doesnât that mean that heâs going to play with Charles until he finds someone named Tia?
Luaâs head cooled for a moment when the thought occurred.
âIs that Emperor so desperate to die? He dares play tricks on my contractor in front of me.â
Lua wanted to take the lives of those two humans right now, but he decided to endure it even because of Charlize.
Charlizeâs order to kill them has not yet been issued.
He had no intention of killing humans unless it was the order of his contractor.
However, the Emperor continued to cross the line that should not be crossed.
For the first time, Lua realized that he was such a patient devil.
If it was in the past, heâd have just blown their heads.
He wondered how his mind became so weak.
Lua left this patronage with one last word because he wanted to end this shitty conversation. Without receiving the bouquet of flowers that Harrison gave, of course.
âThen be nice to Charlize from now on. Online then Iâll find Charlizeâs sister sooner.â
Harrison smiled wryly at Luaâs back, who left leisurely leaving the words.
John, who was watching this exciting scene, asked Harrison.
âYour Majesty, are you really going to do what the devil says?â
âI should. Iâll do anything to find Tia. Let the others know. From now on, we must have a good relationship with Charlize. That way, we can find Tia. Deliver it through your mana.â
âOf course, I will do as Your Majesty commands. But didnât you get a little weird?â
Harrison narrowed his brows at Johnâs words.
âWhatâs wrong with it?â
âI felt like we were bowing to Charlize, who had been so contemptuous to us.â
âBowing down, we just did something for Tia. John.â
âBut when Tia ran away and we got together not long after, Your Majesty didnât intend to get help from Charlize. Donât you remember?â
As John said, Harrison once said at a meeting of men of Tia shortly after Tia disappeared, that he would never trust Charlize, and that he would rather search the whole continent in detail than get her help.
However, unlike then, now he was trying to establish a friendly relationship with Charlize.
With Charlize, whom he hated so much.
John guessed that Harrison had changed 180 degrees in the meantime because he hated Charlize.
Harrison, who hated Charlize the most among the men of Tia, was seen winding around Charlize.
Harrison didnât seem to know.
Because Harrisonâs mind was still directed at Tia, but he didnât know when it would change.
âYour Majesty, donât think about Charlize. Sheâs annoying.â
âSheâs been annoying for a long time. If I find Tia, I will cut off the relationship.â
âReally?â
âYes, John, what are you going to do? Do you agree with me?â
John rolled his eyes as if he were thinking for a moment.
âI donât know. Thereâs no one as crazy as Charlize. To be honest, this wise man is curious.â
âYou are curious about Charlize, you mean?â
âA little bit.â
âJohn, are you out of your mind?â
âThatâs not true. It seems like my head is working well.â
âYou always liked fun things. Stupidly.â
âSometimes itâs not bad to be stupid. Itâs good to be able to empty my head.â
âTsk.â
Harrison kicked his tongue and threw the bouquet of flowers that Lua had ignored on the floor.
The small embers that Lua ignited touched Harrisonâs unpleasant heart.
John blinked his eyelids slowly, looking down at the colorful flowers scattered on the floor.
He could see that Harrisonâs mind repeatedly went to Charlize and then to Tia.
So his mouth was tilting up in this dangerous situation.
Will Harrison be happy to find Tia, or will he regret the disappearance of Charlize?
He got curious for no reason.
So he gave Harrison a suggestion.
âYour Majesty, letâs wait at the Duke of Rebecca until Charlize wakes up.â
âWhy do we have to be such a bother?â
âThe devil told you to be nice to Charlize. Letâs treat Charlize nicely, who has become precious to us, like that devil.â
âDo I have to do that?â
âOf course. In order to have a ladyâs favor, you have to be friendly. From now on, you must abandon your true self. Thatâs how we can find Tia.â
Harrison fell for Johnâs strange persuasion.
âAll right. Iâll wait until Charlize wakes up. Of course, John, you are coming with me, too.â
John slowly moved his head up and down as if he had already expected the answer.
In the meantime, he delivered the information to Eugene in advance through his mana.
ăYour Majesty and I will be waiting in the drawing room, so come find us on your own.ă
***
Eugene and Jeremy hurriedly returned to the mansion and asked the housekeeper if Charlize had escaped from the mansion.
âHousekeeper, was Charlize still doing well today?â
âCharlize didnât cause any trouble, did she?â
The housekeeper looked very embarrassed by the sudden barrage of questions.
âActually, I secretly watched because Lady Charlize was going out for a walk, and she was really only taking a walk.â
âShe took a walk alone?â
When Jeremy asked, the housekeeper seemed to recall the scene for a moment, and then nodded.
âYes, the Lady was alone.â
Eugene looked ridiculous and asked the housekeeper the question Jeremy asked again.
ââŠReally, Charlize was alone?â
âYes, the Lady was definitely taking a walk alone. Then she quietly returned to the mansion. Thatâs all I saw, Duke.â
âGood job. You can return to your work now.â
As soon as Duke Rebecca and Jeremyâs order fell, the housekeeper bowed to his masters and slowly disappeared to do his job.
Jeremy tapped Eugeneâs arm as if he was bothered by what the housekeeper said.
âBro, itâs weird. Charlize walking alone without the devil? Didnât you say they were always together?â
âI think he is probably hiding, itâs one of the devilâs abilities. The devil has many abilities. Itâs often abilities that donât appear in humans.â
âWhy do they try to hide themselves so much?â
âThat I donât know. By the way, we need to get to the drawing room quickly. Important people are there.â
âWhat?â
âOn my way back to the mansion earlier, I had a message from John in my head.â
âJohn? Why?â
âI donât know what happened, but he said he would wait in the drawing room. We should hurry up and get ready to receive guests.â
âWhy are they here?â
âYou donât go to the palace very often either.â
âThatâs because Iâm taking a few days off.â
âThe same goes for them. They are great people who work the day they want.â
âAnyway, I feel like they are coming in and out of our house too much. I donât like it. Itâs uncomfortable, why do they keep coming?â
âI allowed it.â
âYou didnât like it when others came to our mansion without contacting us.â
âTheyâre all desperate to find Tia. They are our collaborators. And I also asked them to keep an eye on Charlize.â
âYou even asked them to keep an eye on Charlize? Those who despise Charlize must have done brother a great favour.â
âThey readily agreed. At that time, I thought it wouldnât happen like you said, but they seemed to take care of Charlize as if they had changed their minds.â
ââŠâŠAre they possessed by the devil, too?â
âI donât think so. They are geniuses in their own field, and they have a strong mind. Itâs not easy for them to be possessed by demons.â
Eugene did not like Tiaâs men, but was forced to accept them.
It was because he and Jeremy couldnât find Tia.
In addition, since they said they would take care of Charlize, the bad feelings he had for those before were becoming dull.
Maybe because he saw them often.
âNo, but if they can find Tia, Iâll be their ally.â
Eugene remembered them and headed to the drawing room with Jeremy.
Perhaps it was because of Eugeneâs silence that the housekeeper did not report that they came.
They had told the housekeeper to behave like a person who didnât see anything even if they suddenly came into the mansion.
