Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 230. Agent ]

“Has he gone?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Looking out the window, Michaela stood silent for a moment at the reply of Mary Bisping, the escort driver.

And after a while, he opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty?”

“No news.”

“okay.”

And again, silence enveloped the room, and Michaela’s motionless gaze was still looking out the window.

“I must have been too greedy.”

“I was never greedy. How greedy is His Highness to aim for the throne next to the legitimate heir of Rodlenn?”

“Thanks to you, my life is now in danger.”

Mary couldn’t answer Michaela’s words.

She said no, but in fact Mary was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

They stepped into an abyss too deep.

“His Majesty said so. I will give you one of your children.”

“Your Highness, that’s…”

“I want to live.”

It was a low but sincere word, and Mary was unable to say anything.

“If I can live even if I am sent to Count Cromwell, I will gladly accept it.”

“……I will always be by your side.”

“Thank you, Mary.”

succession to the throne.

A place that any emperor’s children would aim for.

Already, some people felt inferior in power and bowed their heads to strong candidates, but it was not Michaela.

she was ambitious

dream of becoming emperor.

“Still, the option of going to Count Cromwell would only be to earn time.”

“I guess so.”

“Your Majesty wants to deal with him at once after sending me to the Count.”

Michaela worked hard for that dream.

As a result, he learned all kinds of secrets of the imperial family, among them things that should not be known to the public.

Among the mysteries she learned, there was also the matter of Kane Cromwell, the predecessor of Cromwell, and the imperial family, and the fact that the black magicians she despised were actually partners with the emperor.

“The secret affair of the Cromwell family is not yet over. Even if His Majesty returned the Cromwell estate, it probably has something to do with it.”

“Nevertheless, the best move for us is Earl Cromwell after all.”

“It’s painful not having options.”

Mary asked cautiously at the sighing Michaela.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful if you let Earl Cromwell know about this? He is now emerging as one of the most prominent nobles in Laudelen. Even His Majesty will not be able to openly attack.”

“I already used him once. There’s no way he wouldn’t know that either. It’s my failure that I didn’t know that His Majesty would use this tactic with a reward. Of course, the count refused and became sluggish, but he’s not your majesty to stay still.”

“But at least try it…”

Mary sent a desperate glance.

Michaela turned her head to look at her escort knight and nodded.

“okay. I have to do something. I can’t die like this.”

“I will secretly contact you.”

“thanks. please.”

Soon Mary shook her head and disappeared, and Michaela looked out the window again.

The scenery outside the window was calm, but the silence felt like the night before a storm.

“What choice did I have to make? Should I have just kept my head down like the other siblings?”

Contrary to what she said, both of her eyes burned.

A desire that cannot be hidden.

That strong heart did not regret this choice.

Michaela Rodlen The third princess of the Rodelian Empire.

She wasn’t giving up on the next emperor.

The place I arrived with Vivian was an orphanage.

It existed in a slum on the outskirts of the capital, but the buildings were in fairly good condition.

“orphanage?”

“yes. Come in.”

Leaving Vivian’s questioning eyes behind her, she entered the premises.

Inside, countless children were running around and playing in the vacant lot within the orphanage’s fence.

“They are bright.”

“I see.”

As Vivian said, the children looked good.

I was a little surprised to see that they looked better than the children of the families living in the slums.

“customer?”

“A guest!”

The children beckoned towards us.

I ran into the building in an instant to see if I was wary of strangers.

“Who are you?”

Just in time, an adult came out who had heard the children’s fuss.

It was an old woman dressed as a nun, but unlike her appearance, her prayers were considerable.

“My name is Adrias Cromwell. I’m here to make a donation. Can we talk inside?”

“Mr. Cromwell, sir. welcome. Come on in.”

As soon as I heard my name, seeing her welcoming me with a bright face made me think that this place was right for me.

This orphanage is a place to rendezvous with Evan.

I heard that it is not a place made of camouflage.

It was a place created purely to operate as an orphanage, but Evan only told him to stop by if he wanted to contact him.

“Who’s coming with you…?”

“I am an academy friend.”

“Ah, you are Vivian Veloccan, who was with us at this banquet.”

Vivian’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the old woman who immediately recognized Vivian’s true identity.

He put his hand on her shoulder, feeling the wariness in his eyes.

“It’s okay, Vivian. There is no need to be vigilant.”

As soon as I put my hand on her, she immediately relaxed and nodded as she listened to me.

Seeing her strangely flushed face, I was worried that the earrings I had gifted would not work, and I prayed that she would not blindly draw the sword.

“Let’s go this way.”

The old woman led them to the director’s office in the orphanage.

And there was a separate ledger inside.

“Director. Sir Cromwell has visited.”

“yes. Come on in.”

The voice coming from beyond the door was that of a fairly young man.

Soon after, the old woman opened the door and went inside, and a thin man wearing glasses with one eye stood up to greet us.

The look was familiar somewhere, so while I was thinking about it for a while, the other person greeted me.

“It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Cromwell. I have heard many stories.”

“Are you the director of this place?”

“Yes, my name is Otto Muzonov. And you can speak comfortably here. Everything around has been cleaned up, so no one can eavesdrop on it.”

When I said I was familiar with it, it was a person I knew.

It was also a person I knew as a villain, so my head was pounding.

“Otto Muzonov. Do you know Evan?”

“Yes, you are the boss of the organization I belong to. It is our boss who informed us of His Excellency.”

“It’s an organization… how long have you known Evan?”

“It’s not long. It seems to be over 3 months now. Originally, I was the head of the organization, but I dedicated it in a good way. haha.”

His gestures and appearance made it impossible to think of him as a villain.

I knew that the words that he was the head of the organization in the first place were just blindfolded.

“I’ll give you a cup of tea. I would appreciate it if you could sit in a suitable place.”

“Let’s ask one question before that.”

“Say yes.”

“Can I contact Evan?”

“Sure. Evan-sama informed us in advance that the meeting place with His Excellency was set here.”

“All right.”

“Then I’ll go pick up the car for a while.”

To one side of the director’s office was a small room connected to it.

When Otto disappeared into the room over there, I fell into trouble.

Otto Muzonov.

He was an executive of the Zefar Order that had infiltrated the Empire.

He was also the hit man of Earl Jared Tyson, the owner of the top 5 continents he met this time.

As his main job is assassination, he is an opponent with at least one outstanding combat ability.

Although he knew his identity, he was too ambiguous to use force hastily.

“Did you come to meet someone named Evan?”

“yes? Yes that’s right.”

“Why is your expression like that? What are you worried about?”

I smiled and said to Vivian, who asked with a tilt of her head.

“no. I must have been a little tired.”

“Do you want to lie down on my lap?”

“……it’s okay.”

Otto did not return even after a brief conversation.

It was a short time, but I couldn’t shake the idea that he was somehow contacting Jared.

“You waited a long time.”

He reappeared, left the tea on the table, and smiled his signature smile.

That smile, which seemed so kind and weak, was good for arousing the other person’s vigilance.

“I just delivered the news to Evan. I know you’re nearby, so you’ll probably be there soon.”

“I’m glad.”

“Even if Evan-nim isn’t around, if you have any other business you need, feel free to tell me. You have been told to take care of the convenience as much as possible, so please feel free to use it.”

Otto poured tea with those words and smiled softly.

If he had used a pseudonym, he looked like a nice person to the extent that he would have been confused about the fact that he was a Zefar cult fanatic.

“thank you. Let me know.”

“Evan is a really nice person. With the money you make from taking over this world, you’re helping people in need. This orphanage is also part of it. Of course, it is often used as a meeting place like this, but it doesn’t change the fact that we are helping children.”

It seems that you haven’t abandoned your habit in the Holy Land.

It didn’t really matter to me, it didn’t matter.

“To be honest, you seem more like the director of an orphanage than Sir Evan’s subordinate. I can’t believe I ran an organization.”

“haha. thank you In fact, although I said I managed the organization, I was only in the role of giving orders at my desk, so this might be a better fit.”

A lot of lies just come out so easily.

Then Vivian, who had been quiet until now, opened her mouth.

“lie.”

“yes?”

“A person who only gives orders at a desk cannot have a body like that.”

Vivian, who suddenly intervened, looked at Otto warily.

“Dangerous atmosphere. Not even an ordinary prosecutor.”

“Ahaha…… Yes, in fact, managing such a shadowy organization cannot be without force. At first, I did it with my body. But not anymore.”

“The smell of blood.”

“……yes?”

“I smell blood every time I open my mouth.”

A moment of silence passed.

Otto was still looking at us with a smile, but the atmosphere was a bit bizarre.

“Vivian.”

“hmm?”

“That person is on the same side. You don’t have to be so vigilant.”

“okay.”

I said I understood, but Vivian was ready to protect me at any time with the position or angle of her body.

“Looks like I’ve created a bit of an awkward situation.”

“no. My party did this because they were worried about me, so please don’t think too hard about it.”

I said this, but my head was racing furiously.

My body was already stamped by the Zefar Church.

There was no way that Otto, the leader of the Order, did not know me.

Besides, he is Evan’s subordinate.

It was as if a spy had entered our power.

‘So I have to deal with it quickly.’

Otto Muzonov is strong.

If possible, I wanted to solve it safely.

smart smart

“This is Evan.”

Evan, who said he would come soon, arrived really quickly.

He was still dressed in dark clothes and unshaven, but his eyes were clear.

“I didn’t know that my lord would find me already.”

“I have something to ask of you.”

Otto and Vivian turned their heads at the same time at Evan’s words, “Master.”

Both of them had slightly surprised expressions, but apart from Vivian, Otto didn’t know that either.

“boss. Was Sir Cromwell the lord of the boss?”

“That’s right.”

When Evan affirmed, I thought the time had come and opened my mouth.

“Are you curious?”

“yes? Yes, it is. Maybe the boss is so famous that I can’t believe he’s following someone…” “

I think it’s too much. If it becomes known to the public, it will probably have a big impact.”

“Even if I think so.”

“so.”

I put my chin on and slowly chined.

“Are you going to tell me?”

“yes? It can’t be. There is no reason to speak.”

“I will thoroughly crack down on your mouth, sir.”

Evan doesn’t seem to know that Otto is a spy.

“A reason to tell you… isn’t it?”

“What do you mean…”

“Otto Muzonov.”

I met my eyes with Otto’s innocent eyes.

And he smiled softly and said it again.

“Shouldn’t we report to the Zefar Church?”
