Chapter 9
“Boo·”
Does that cute whining child know?
He is a precious descendant born between the princess of the current Pendragon royal family and the prince who inherited the last lineage of the Kingdom of Britain.
For reference the Kingdom of Britain was a hostile country that went to war with Pendragon three years ago and to this day Britain has become a principality that barely survives.
Won the war and took over most of Britain’s territory.
‘And that boy will become the king of both Pendragon and Britain…’
This is a child who inherits not only the Pendragon but also the bloodline of the British royal family.
Looking at the silver hair and eyes that are the symbol of Pendragon it seems that the child has strong Pendragon blood.
However if you have British blood you will have appropriate mystical abilities…
Because that’s what royal lineage is…
“You know that right? This child is a symbol… It will be a wonderful ladder that will connect Britain and Pendragon who are still like water and oil… This child has the legitimacy to connect the two…”
“…I don’t know much about politics…”
“joy! “I know that your foolhardy bastard has a wider perspective than most idiots. Don’t act like you don’t know.”
“Umm…”
As Princess Isis said he knows to some extent how the country works…
The fact that Britain which has eaten its best is still very rebellious…
The prince the last of Britain’s lineage is currently suffering from a chronic illness and it would not be surprising if he died at any time.
So if that prince grows up well and becomes the crown prince then only then will Pendragon and Britain truly unite.
If that happens this country will have a power as great as that of an empire…
···It’s still a long way off but…
“Arthur Drake de Pendragon Arthur Pendragon! “My son will definitely become a great king hehe.”
“···haha·”
Hmm it’s a very ominous name in many ways…
‘Oh no it’s true that he will become a great king…’
Lee Han decided to bless the child’s name.
* * *
After the chat continued for a while Lee Han relaxed his nervousness and sat down in his seat.
Because I think this conversation will continue for a long time…
“Hey Sister what is the main point?”
“What do you mean?”
“Sister don’t act like you don’t know… Do I not know you? “A person who has the talent to see into the inner thoughts of others…”
“She doesn’t have that kind of talent. She is just confident in being able to listen to the other person’s mood and tone of voice distinguish between truth and lies and understand the other person’s intentions and intentions.”
“…How is that different from looking into your inner thoughts?”
Personally I respect this person…
When I think back to the first time I saved him from an assassin he couldn’t have been anything other than a heroine.
[Did you save her? Excellent·]
Her calm appearance even in the tent covered in blood was enough to overwhelm her audience.
Anyway because she is such a heroine of her time Lee Han knows…
This person is never one to carelessly seek out others.
Even if Lee Han saved her and treated her comfortably as his younger brother there is no way this person would meet her person without any political intentions.
So what he has to do is…
“Ha really… I’m being treated like a hunting dog again…”
“Hehe I’m sorry…”
It was Isis who first apologized for the murmur of unknown intent and the next moment…
Wow!!
“Why…?”
The heart of the maid who served Isis was pierced.
The hatchet she carried in her arms pierced the center of her maid’s chest without hesitation.
In that state Lee Han moved like a nimble hunting dog and grabbed her maid’s neck.
The veins around her maid’s eyes are now tight as she can’t even breathe properly.
In that state Lee Han…
“If you have any questions ask now.”
“Thank you. Tsk. I thought it was amazing that you did a good job with her hair.”
Isis looked at her maid with a contemptuous expression ·
She was a maid who assisted Isis for over two years in her royal family where survival was more difficult than in the harsh jungle but Isis only gave such a maid her icy cold gaze.
“Are they the remnants of Britain? Or was he an assassin from the North?”
“I am…!”
“Hmm are you going to hide the truth until this moment? “This is great loyalty.”
Isis glanced at Lee Han and Lee Han did not hesitate…
Snap!
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Her maid’s tooth was pulled out and her dogma came out in it ·
“Ho-oh it looks like it was treated with magic? “It’s just like her real teeth.”
“It’s probably to avoid suspicion… Anyway whether you’re a spy or an assassin the details are the same.”
The maid tried to move her hand as if she knew she had already been caught.
Just the fact that she moves while her chest is pierced and her neck is held as if it’s about to break already tells you that she is no ordinary human.
She learned the art of speculation ·
It also has secret abilities…
Stupid…
Instead of messing around like this she should have committed suicide.
Then wouldn’t she have given less information?
Kwasik!
“Keuuuuuuu!”
In unstoppable hands…
The best way to block her movement is to tear off her limbs ·
···It’s not something you would do in front of a child based on common sense but the situation is the way it is so let’s move on for now…
“Isn’t teasing your body the Pendragon way? But I don’t think it’s even Britain…”
“Are you sure?”
“During the war we fought with the British soldiers to the point of exhaustion. We saw many knights. Just like us their fighting methods all have their roots. But what about this one in particular?”
“Oh you know that too? “For all the people who mock themselves for not having any talent they don’t have a good eye.”
“This is more about sensibility than talent you know? “My senses are a little special…”
“Hoho that’s right better than ten hunting dogs.”
“···You’re really being treated like a dog·”
Isis who giggles as if watching a comedy or Lee Han who acts calmly even in this situation…
Neither of them looked very normal and the maid who was grabbed by her neck struggled in fear ·
And then in the end…
Pop!
“Oh why are you struggling so much?”
“Are you dead?”
“Yeah…”
“It’s a shame. I wanted to get more information.”
She waved her hand ·
As if to get rid of it because it has no value anymore…
The moment her hand gestured people dressed in black appeared outside the carriage.
They removed the body of her maid saying they were familiar and now in her carriage there were only Lee Han baby Isis and the maid who tilted her head with a somewhat dumb expression.
And as if she wasn’t mistaken the maid…
“Hey princess…”
“If she’s not the princess I’m telling you to tell her.”
“Hehe your highness I don’t understand the situation but was she a traitor?”
I guess she really was a little lacking in brains ·
“Stupid… To be exact both of you were under suspicion…”
“aha!”
“···The reason Yeo doubted you was because you were so stupid and naive···How could her brain be so innocent·”
“Hehe her parents often complimented her on how clean her hair was.”
“It’s probably not a compliment…”
“??”
“ha····”
Isis was sighing and Lee Han understood when he saw this.
Why is it so difficult for Isis who is so perceptive as a ghost to find a traitor and even came looking for her?
‘There are cases where people are suspected because their brains are so innocent…’
This was also surprising…
* * *
Isis is one of the few people who knows Lee Han’s secret.
Gnoll’s sense of smell·
The sense of smell which detects scents that ordinary humans can never smell can detect any subtle odor.
In everyday life this sense of smell is suppressed but if used deliberately Lee Han’s nose can receive a large amount of information through smell.
In particular is it because of his history as a member of an assassination organization?
It was possible to detect the suspiciousness of a person just by smelling the smell of poison blood iron and the unpleasantness of the person itself as well as the smell of cold sweat.
And although her former maid had washed her body thoroughly and put on strong perfume she still had a strong smell of poisonous weed that even that couldn’t hide.
“Since one day people in the royal family have been poisoned… In particular Arthur also showed signs of poisoning…”
“…Did you also use poison on that crazy kid?”
“Fortunately the Pendragon’s blood has a strong immunity to poison…”
“····”
That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt…
Lee Han barely swallowed his words and trembled saying it was terrible.
Even though there were so many suspicious circumstances didn’t the royal family choose two criminals and bring them to this place instead of suspecting everyone?
And to catch the woman who clearly smells of poison even Lee Han is called…
‘He’s a great person really…’
If it were any other mother she would be so heated and lose her temper but she maintains her cool.
It’s so thorough it’s scary…
“There are many who find Arthur an inconvenience. If Britain and we are completely united our power will become unimaginably powerful. Even from the perspective of other countries there will be many who want to kill Arthur.”
“···It’s jingling…”
“That is the politics of the country…”
Isis calmly and heartlessly recited the facts and patted Arthur.
At first glance she looks like a mother with maternal love but on the other hand she also stands out for her cruelty as a monarch.
Lee Han stuck out her tongue wondering if she could do something like that.
She instinctively knew that she would never be able to imitate that woman’s boldness.
“···So is it over now?”
Lee Han politely asked if he could leave work now that he had played the role of a hunting dog. In response to Lee Han’s question Isis said
“No there are still two more things…”
“···Two two things?”
“Don’t worry I’ll repay you. If you want I’ll let you kiss the back of her hand.”
“No I absolutely refuse… to turn someone into a pervert…”
“Hehe it’s supposed to give you a chance to kiss the back of the hand of the most beautiful woman in the kingdom but you’re wasting the opportunity.”
“Please take a look…”
I recognize beautiful things but I always want to reject poisonous thorns.
“Then I guess I can’t help it. I’ll take care of the repayment later.”
“No I don’t need it…”
“I don’t want to give you any specification… Anyway I’m going to tell you what I want to ‘ask you’ from now on so keep it in your mind…”
“…Please just say it. How is this any different from a threat?”
Isis’s request = orders continued regardless of whether Lee Han grumbled or not.
…and the moment you hear the command…
“···Sister are you crazy?”
“Hehe it’s completely fine…”
“····”
Lee Han thought seriously about whether that might be a bigger problem.
That’s right…
‘···I wonder if asking someone to kill his younger brother is something he should say to someone…’
Because the assassination request was dropped…
