Griselda had commissioned Marie’s search, carried out by her former fiancé, Rugnis.
He was infuriated after hearing the report from his subordinates.
ㅤ
In Rugnis’s office at the royal palace.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“What did you say?! Repeat that!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Rugnis shouted at the subordinate who had come to report.
He was acting like a child who throws a tantrum when things don’t go his way.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“That’s why I said. . . . . . we don’t have the resources to search for Marie-sama.”
“Are you joking?! We don’t have the resources?!”
“I’m not joking. . . . . . You are aware, Your Highness, that the kingdom is facing an unprecedented crisis.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Magical creatures have overrun the entire country, and the kingdom is now in a dire situation.
Rugnis was aware of this as well.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“We are fully occupied just dealing with the magical creatures. The knights are all exhausted, standing guard and fighting against the magical creatures. On top of that, conducting a search is simply. . . . . .”
“Then work without sleeping! Kick your foolish men into action!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The subordinate was inwardly angered by Rugnis’s unreasonable behavior.
The knights are all working desperately to protect the citizens.
ㅤ
ㅤ
It would be strange if they weren’t upset when called fools.
. . . . . .However, in the end, he was merely a low-ranking knight.
ㅤ
ㅤ
He couldn’t oppose the crown prince.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Why are you so fixated on Marie-sama?”
“Because Griselda told me to find her. Marie is jealous of her sister’s beauty and power, and has cursed her.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .Is he an idiot?
The Knight Commander, who was his subordinate, thought so inwardly.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Hadn’t the kingdom’s greatest sorcerer said so?
That Marie hasn’t cast any curse.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Why wouldn’t he believe those words, yet believe Griselda’s baseless claims?
ㅤ
ㅤ
“If Griselda falls ill, it would be terrible. We must lift the curse beforehand. Right now, Griselda is maintaining the barrier, but if this continues, the barrier will be destroyed. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
It was at that moment.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“A message. . . . . .! Mon. . . . . . Monsters have flooded into the Capital City!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Both the captain of the knights and the crown prince stared at the messenger in disbelief.
. . . . . .Monsters in the Capital City?
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Don’t be ridiculous! Griselda’s barrier is around the Capital City! There’s no way magical creatures could get in!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Griselda had been maintaining the barrier even today, weakened by the supposed curse from Marie.
There’s no way her powerful barrier could break.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“But, the magical creatures are actually. . . . . .”
“Damn it! Your Highness, I must excuse myself! I have to head to the scene!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
However. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Wait! You are to head for Marie’s search instead!”
“. . . . . .What?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The Knight Commander halted and looked at the crown prince as if he had seen something unbelievable.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Huh, what are you talking about. . . . . .?”
“The barrier is broken. This is Marie’s doing! Find Marie immediately! Otherwise, we’re in big trouble!”
“Tch! We’re already in big trouble! The barrier has been shattered!”
“That’s why it’s Marie’s fault! If we find her and lift the curse, the barrier will be restored!”
“What about the citizens in the meantime! What should they do?!”
“Leave them be! Some sacrifices are a necessary expense!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .Upon hearing Rugnis’s words. . . . . .
The Knight Commander directs a cold gaze at him.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .You fool of a prince.”
“What did you say?! You, that’s disrespectful!”
“Shut up, be quiet! We are here to protect the citizens! I won’t listen to your orders!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The Knight Commander attempts to leave the room with the messenger.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Wait, hold on! You dare to ignore a royal command! I will have you arrested for insolence!”
“Fine by me! I’d rather follow the voice of my conscience than heed the nonsense of a foolish prince!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
This time, the Knight Commander really does leave, leaving Rugnis behind.
. . . . . .Rugnis is infuriated, having been thoroughly mocked.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Damn it! Who’s the fool here! If we bring back Marie, Griselda will solve everything! Why can’t you understand that!”
