An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 109.1
Chapter 109.1
However, Diello’s face remained unchanged.
“I’ll investigate further.”
His words didn’t sound false, so I shook my head.
“They’re the names I heard while I was in Alors.”
To be precise, I saw them in the original story. Since the original Krua also knew of their existence, it wasn’t a lie.
“I see.”
Diello murmured the names on the paper.
“Caren, Cape, Paslot.”
He smiled beautifully as if to remember them.
“I’ll ask the Intelligence Department to look into them separately.”
“I can do it myself.”
The man, who had been looking tired for the past few days, got up. However, instead of answering, Diello slightly turned his body to show me his work desk. Unlike me, who was swamped with work after the Duke of Alors died, his desk was bare.
“I’ll be back.”
There was nothing I could do. After all, I had to work hard for a while to dismantle the corruption-ridden forest boundary system of Alors.
In the end, I sat down quietly.
“Please do.”
“Yes.”
Diello nodded and went out of the room.

—Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Diello, who had entered a nearby room, called for Rick.
Rick soon appeared.
“Did you call?”
Diello spoke in a completely different, cold voice than before.
“Caren, Cape, Paslot of Alors. Find out about these men.”
He narrowed his eyes, thinking of the documents he had seen earlier, before he parted his lips again, “They are in charge of Alors’ military, the ones who will protect Argenta and Alors.”
His cold gaze turned to Rick.
Rick, who met his eyes, froze with a smile on his face.
“…Y-yes, sir. I’ll find out quickly.”
“I heard that Alors’s forest hasn’t been properly managed by Alors for a long time, so the nearby territory people have created their own self-defense forces.”
Diello glanced in the direction where Krua would be and continued.
“They might be sensitive to accepting new forces, especially since they have to accept Argenta. See if they are capable enough to meditate.”
At his words, Rick finally relaxed his expression.
‘I thought he was being so murderous for no reason.’
He sighed inwardly. It seemed he had been mistaken in thinking that the lord’s voice, which called them, was full of power.
“Understood.”
Just as he was about to step back, Diello continued.
“And find out if they’ve ever fallen into the water with Krua.”
Rick almost stumbled out of the room. Thanks to that, he replied a beat late.
“…Understood.”
And as he barely lifted his head, Diello’s cold face was in front of him.
“One last thing…”
Rick made a blank expression at his continued words, but Diello asked with an unchanged expression.
“Is there a problem?”
“No.”
Rick said quickly, and he shot out of the room like a bullet.
As he did, he thought.
‘The master’s awakening… It hasn’t even been a month since the lily disappeared, but he’s already this powerful? Isn’t that amazing?’
It was a conversation he had with Vielle a while ago. In private, they were friends who spoke freely, and they were having a casual conversation.
“I’m so glad the Madam became a Ferro. And she’s even a powerful Ferro.”
Vielle’s expression hardened after being relieved.
“The problem is that she’s too talented. She has even awakened as the head of Alors. If another Ferro appears before her…”
It was an assumption that Rick had also thought of, so he immediately responded.
“Obviously no. The master’s eyes changed.”
“Rick… That kind of expression.”
Even though Vielle frowned as if the expression was harsh, Rick thought as he completely left the room.
If Vielle had seen the master’s eyes just now, wouldn’t he have said he had changed?
He shuddered at the thought.
If he wanted to keep his life, he shouldn’t go near the head or water.

Krua began to get really busy. Now that all of Alors’s direct and collateral blood relatives were gone, even though she hadn’t been officially announced as the Duke of Alors yet, she was clearly no different from the Duke of Alors.
Naturally, the people of Alors would be waiting for her.
She didn’t know if they would welcome her, as the Duke of Alors hadn’t taken proper care of them, but what they needed was the power of Alors.
“We have to ensure the safety of the forest.”
Preventing monsters from coming out of the ‘endless forest’ that Alors protects—that alone would give the people of the territory a sense of security. Besides, she heard that Nira had recently received his power and wielded the power of water freely in the Alors’ territory.
The citizens of Alors must be brimming with anticipation for the new head’s power by now.
To reassure them, she was selecting trustworthy individuals from Alors, especially those who would not be averse to the Argenta’s soldiers heading to the forest with them and those who were familiar enough to alleviate the Alos’ anxieties about Argenta.
“Then, I’ll be off for a bit!”
Krua greeted Diello with a bright smile.
Since Alors was in shambles, she would meet the Alors envoys at the secure Argenta’s villa. Naturally, Nira was present to escort her.
The Intelligence Department had already confirmed that the individuals Krua had chosen from the documents had not colluded with other forces. Now, she would meet them in person and grant them power if she deemed them suitable.
Then, perhaps she could worry about Alors a little less.

Again: this girl is fast and reliable when we’re talking about work, but when it’s about feelings and relationship… please, let her have more common sense in that aspect. If she’s diello’s ferro and she has his name on her back (this time a real deal) then how tf could be a guy other than ml that would be her ferro? There are no triangles there. If there would be, then neither of them would trust each other and build a bond strong enough so ml would awaken full potential of his powers).
What’s more, if ml wouldn’t be her ferro then she wouldn’t sleep with him bcs it would be either awakening his full strength as duke of argenta or her full strength as duke of alors on the line- never both of them at the same time. It has to be him bcs if not, then there’s only one option left: ML’s way from the synopsis: kill all the guys who’d be MC’s supposed ferro till it would be ML’s turn.
