Looking at his organization, Ale, that arrived on time, Lucion felt the corners of his mouth raise slightly.
‘They’re really punctual. However…’
Putting aside that Krone was amazing, Lucion’s raised corners twisted at the sight of the organization members who couldn’t even control their eyes properly.
It was beyond awkward.
In the eyes of the Chepplan knights, the organization members would look like a ragtag band.
He was glad that Pete didn’t look like that.
‘How shall I do this?’
Lucion worried deeply for a moment.
[This a chance, Lucion. Put in more Darkness.]
Russell told Lucion to take advantage of the gap of Miella’s appearance gathering the gazes.
He had to maintain the compulsion magic a bit longer for the sake of this play.
“Hello, Mother.”
Miella grabbed the hem of her dress and greeted the head of the Chepplan family.
“I came here because You’ve told me there is something You have to do. But isn’t the atmosphere a bit harsh?”
Miella continued to play her part.
The complexions of Chepplan’s knights turned ugly at her sarcastic words.
“Please step back, miss.”
Krone growled, like he was about to pull out a sword.
All of this was fabricated according to what Lucion instructed.
The organization Ale, disguised as soldiers.
Miella, who comes on the earnest request of the Chepplan’s family head.
There would be no one who would doubt it in this natural atmosphere.
Rather, it was just bloody, like a small battle was about to take place at any moment.
“Please speak, Mother. There is no way this is supposed to be my grave, right?”
The Chepplan’s family head remained calm even at Miella’s mocking words.
‘Stretch out the ring symbolizing the head of the family.’
At Lucion’s command, the Chepplan family head took off a ring from her finger.
The small flames of Darkness in her eyes were slowly going out.
Chepplan family’s knights and servants were shocked by the Chepplan family head’s sudden actions.
“My-my Lord!”
The butler lost his temper and shouted.
Before he could stop the Chepplan family’s head, Lucion gave a short order.
‘Kneel down.’
The Chepplan family’s head knelt down.
“My Lord!”
It wasn’t just the butler, even the Chepplan knights were astonished.
However, as the head of the family knelt down, the people under the name of Chepplan also had to kneel down.
The ghostly pale Chepplan knights and servants waited for the family head’s next decision.
— Lucion. The compulsion magic will soon be released.
With Latta’s warning, Lucion gave another command.
‘Say you’re sorry.’
“I’m sorry.”
The Chepplan family’s head said.
Because the Chepplan knights and servants already knew that the relationship between the Chepplan family head and Miella was bad, those words were nothing but shocking.
The Chepplan family head even offered the ring symbolizing the head of family to Miella as a gift.
There was no one here who didn’t understand the meaning of those two things.
Wasn’t it in fact a signal that she recognized Miella as the true successor of the Chepplan family and was offering her the position of the family head?
“Hahahaha!”
Miella laughed loudly.
As Hamel said, she did and said unbelievable things.
An apology?
An apology from the mouth of that bitch!?
“You think I can forgive You?”
Even though Miella asked, the Chepplan family head stayed quiet.
“You, the bitch who poisoned my father, and my father, who chased me out when I informed him of your deeds, blinded by love and having no idea what was killing him — you’re exactly the same bastards.”
Miella snatched the ring.
“Yeah. You bastards who chased me out in a cold winter in only one layer of thin clothing are exactly the same as the bastards who stole just the few coins that entered my hands! Bring me a sword!”
When Krone handed Miella a sword, the kneeling Chepplan knights stirred.
“Stay still!”
Miella shouted fiercely, as she showed off the ring.
Because it was a ring personally handed over by the previous family head, Miella was the head of the Chepplan family.
With an awkward skill, Miella stabbed the Chepplan family’s head in the chest.
“Keu… heuk!”
The head of the Chepplan family collapsed under her force, and Miella climbed on top of her.
The flames of Darkness in the Chepplan family’s head’s eyes went out and she stared at Miella with eyes full of confusion.
Miella smirked.
“Go in peace, trash-like bitch.”
Miella stood up, closed her hand around the family head’s ring and raised her hand into the air.
Although it was fake, at this moment, it was prettier and more sparkly than the real one.
“From now on — I — am Chepplan!”
Krone’s gaze went to Hamel, who took off the armor and revealed himself, rather than to Miella, who was shining the brightest right now.
He really took over the mansion, shedding only one person’s blood.
This was really possible?
As a shiver went through his whole body, Krone’s eyes were flooded with deep pride.
This was the Person he was going to serve in the future.
His chest swelled with pride at that fact.
***
Although on the outside, Miella became the family head, she couldn’t deal with or kill the Chepplan knights and servants right away because of their large numbers.
However, Miella was the successor of a noble family, even if she lost that position.
In the situation where she regained her original position, the purge was natural.
“Ple-please forgive me, My Lord!”
Miella sneered at them, and then chose and killed the people who were disdainful of her.
And then she chose and killed again, dyeing the front garden with blood.
“Done.”
Miella raised her hand.
“Everyone, return to your spots until I give further instructions.”
Miella sent the Chepplan family’s knights and servants out.
Now, the only one remaining in the courtyard was the organization — Ale.
“It’s only temporary, but the soundproof barrier is completed.”
Shutra raised her brush-like magic tool and walked up.
“I confirmed that all the other people left.”
Hellon popped out and joined Shutra.
‘Preparations are done.’
With the two people’s report, Lucion realized that the stage for the five people in the organization that had to be killed was ready.
“Thank You, Hamel-nim.”
At that moment, Miella bowed to Lucion.
— Ehem. Lucion is great! Latta knew it for a very, very long time!
Latta puffed up her chest in the shadow.
In contrast, the organization members were embarrassed.
The organization members heard a strange thing from Krone, that they can obtain the Viscount Chepplan’s mansion without a fight.
They just followed along with it, but didn’t expect that the Chepplan family’s head would bow her head to a warlock.
What the hell was this situation?
“Thanks to Hamel-nim, I fulfilled my, no, I relieved the knot in my heart. Have it as promised. This mansion is Hamel-nim’s.”
Miella smiled happily.
She killed that bitch with her own hands.
She couldn’t forget the taste of blood still dyeing her hands.
Frankly, she thought she would die holding back that happiness in front of Chepplan’s knights and servants.
“Yes. I’m glad you’re satisfied. The mansion — I’ll take it.”
Lucion didn’t react with any particular interest to the mansion that was just the size of one of Cronia’s side buildings.
However, the organization members were different.
This mansion belongs to the warlock ‘Hamel’, not the leader of the organization Krone?
The money was the warlock’s.
The mansion was the warlock’s.
Hamel’s shadow gradually grew.
“I’ll do what I want now. You will definitely support me, correct? I joined the organization after seeing Hamel-nim.”
“Of course. Tell me when You need anything. As the money comes out of my pockets.”
Lucion deliberately emphasized the word ‘money’ so the organization members heard it well.
Financial power.
Isn’t it an absolute power?
[Look as those bastards roll when you say that the money comes out of your pockets and this mansion is yours.]
Russell pointed at the organization members and clicked his tongue.
‘My plans don’t end here.’
Lucion looked at Krone.
Miella also naturally turned her head to Krone.
“Ah, thank You Krone-nim. I apologize for refusing Your offer last time. But anyway, I’ll be in Your hands as an organization member from now on.”
Compared to when Miella spoke to Lucion, her words toward Krone were very light.
Naturally, when Lucion became the center of power and the organization members’ gazes poured towards him, he called out to Krone.
“Krone-nim.”
“Speak.”
When Krone replied, a strange, unknown unconscious nervousness hung in the air.
Lucion’s power was confirmed by the organization.
Through Miella, they recognized that he was someone they couldn’t ignore.
“Can we start now?”
When unexpected words flowed out of Lucion’s mouth, the organization members looked at Krone.
“Krone-nim, start what? Didn’t we already finish the plan?”
Someone among the organization members asked.
It was the man that openly picked a fight with Lucion.
“Let’s start.”
Krone answered to Lucion, not to the man.
The moment he got permission, Lucion sent out Darkness and instantly grabbed the five people.
“Wh-what are You doing right now?!”
“Krone-nim!”
The grabbed people shouted.
“Stop!”
When the organization members were about to move at Lucion’s sudden attack, Krone spoke heavily.
“I clearly warned you. Know of the existence of the warlock Hamel, but hide it. Causing discord in the organization is not allowed. Betraying the organization is not allowed.”
Swish.
Krone pulled out a sword.
“And the price for that is death.”
Lucion brought the bastard in front of Krone so he could cut them well, and slightly bowed.
The structure of the organization was finally confirmed.
The leader of the organization was Krone.
“Please cut comfortably, Krone-nim.”
With Lucion’s words, Krone walked up to the bastards.
‘Krone can certainly deal with it.’
Lucion arranged them in the order of the weight of the crime.
First, the guards.
Krone pointed the sword towards the guards, and the two people trembled.
“Even though I ordered that although you know of Hamel-nim’s identity and that you have to hide it, you flapped your mouths outside. What’s even worse is that your mission as guards is to meet with many outsiders.”
“Ple-please spare us! We won’t- won’t mention it again!”
“Right! It’s true.”
However, Krone raised the sword to their eyes and the two people were cut down.
The ground was sprinkled with blood, and the organization members began to shake.
‘Cutting Darkness with an ordinary sword does nothing?’
Even though the sword cut the Darkness, Lucion felt anew that it only slightly pricked.
‘There is no need to be scared of a sword?’
[Russell. Is it okay for Lord Lucion’s Darkness to be cut?]
Bethel saw that the sword Krone swung slightly touched Lucion’s Darkness.
[Ordinary swords can’t cut Darkness. Well, you feel the cutting only very slightly.]
Russell replied as he observed the bastards with light mouths die.
[Lucion. Don’t forget to send the Chepplan family’s head and those bastards to heaven.]
Lucion nodded to Russell’s reminder.
He naturally didn’t forget.
He will make sure to finish it completely.
Having killed the two people, Krone’s sword turned towards the man that tried to cause discord.
“I said that this organization is special and anyone who is beneficial to this organization will be accepted in it, and you agreed. However, you’ve tried to sow discord in the organization.”
Even though the sword was to pierce his neck, the man glared at Krone.
“Discord? It’s You, not me, who has to come back to Your senses! No matter how much he benefits the organization, that bastard is a warlock! They spread curses and defile the dead! An entire kingdom was wiped out because of bastards like him!”
‘As expected.’
Lucion prepared this place knowing that the bastard would try to catch him by the ankle again and cause discord.
Now, at the moment when they’re intoxicated with victory, it was a good place for their true nature to show up, and an excellent timing for the organization to choose people.
“So, are you cursed, you bastard? Did Hamel-nim do something to you?”
When Krone asked, the man replied without hesitation.
“I don’t know what he did. I see it with my eyes. You’re controlled by that bastard, and that bastard is moving you behind the scenes!”
— Lucion only does that to bad people!
Latta argued, while Bethel said with scorn on her face.
[Ignore him, Lord Lucion.]
From the beginning, his words had no value in listening.
If people could manipulate without any price, this world would already be in the hands of warlocks.
However, the organization members were shaken by the man’s words.
They were probably anxious that the widely spread rumors about warlocks were true.
“Today.”
Krone’s face crumpled.
He was angry seeing the organization members’ eyes.
He couldn’t control that anger.
“Taking this mansion without anyone spilling blood was all thanks to Hamel! I was afraid of losing you, so to solve this, Hamel entered this big mansion alone and used black magic. For your sake!”
Veins bulged on Krone’s neck as he stared at the organization members.
“Can you do this?”
He appealed.
“Can any of you enter this big mansion alone just for the sake of other organization members?”
Krone appealed again.
“What on earth is a warlock? Do you think of that bastard, who only really plays with his mouth, as a member of the organization? Or do you think it’s right to chase Hamel, who sacrificed his own body, out of the organization because he is a warlock?”
The eyes of the organization members shook at Krone’s appeal.
“I!”
Krone’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Won’t abandon Hamel, who devoted himself to the organization, under any reason and will protect him as the Ale’s leader until the end!”
Krone used this chance to state with certainty.
The organization will protect Lucion.
