Chapter 96.1

The scene unfolded just before Diello’s departure.

Tap.

Nira’s brush, which had been lightly tracing over the lilies on Diello’s makeup, stopped before he spoke with a puzzled expression.

“The lilies seem to have faded a little.”

“Do you see that too?”

Diello tried to erase the lines that were about to be drawn on his lips.

“The fainter the lilies, the more evidence it is that she and you were close.”

“The makeup is done. No one will be able to figure out the number of lilies until the makeup is removed.”

Thanks to the power of the Shadow Blade family.

Diello nodded briefly.

“Then, leave immediately.”

What he handed to Nira was a power crystal made from Krua’s blood, which had drawn out the power of the source. Nira carefully received the crystal, which seemed to have a slightly reddish hue compared to other water crystals.

“This is something entrusted to you by the Madam.”

It meant that he should do it perfectly. Even if the head of the Argenta family didn’t say it, Nira intended to do so. He clenched the crystal tightly in his hand.

‘You must always be someone who doubts your lord.’

That was what his father taught him.

He was said to be the one who watched over whether the lord was using his power in the right place, and Nira was proud that he had chosen the right master.

The original plan was for Krua to arrive at the upper reaches of the river in time before the talks began and build a dam of ice on the river to reduce the flow.

It was a feasible plan, as the river had recently experienced dryness. The idea was to reduce the amount of water flowing towards the hall, thereby reducing the overall power of the Alors ducal family. The only person in this vast land who could do that was Krua.

But now that Krua was down, Nira himself had to do it somehow.

“I’ll definitely do it.”

He thought of the Madam, who had drawn out the power of the source even as she was collapsing, for the sake of those who followed her.

Her strong gaze as well.

He shook his head, thinking of Duke Alors, who had tried to use even his own bloodline as a tool, and Pentas Alors, who was incredibly stupid. It didn’t matter if Krua wasn’t the head of the family. She was the only true Alors in the current generation.

He thought so, but he seemed to know Alors’ bloodline as well.

Who could have imagined just a year ago that she would suffer from the awakening fever that would make her become the head of the family?

Thud.

Nira, who had briefly greeted Diello, immediately left the room. Like an assassin, he jumped out the window and immediately mounted his horse.

Neigh!

The Argenta informants who were originally supposed to escort Krua followed him.

“I have to do it.”

Nira was in a situation where the Duke of Alors had taken away the power of the water he had. All he had was the power crystal Krua had given him and his own memories of using water.

Still, he had to do it.

Because he was now serving the strong, real Alors, and that she trusted him with the task. Since his master had shown her strength and will, shouldn’t he naturally live up to his expectations?

“Hyah!”

The horse he was riding kicked the ground roughly and galloped off.

Late at night.

Alors’ forces arrived in Argenta.

The two forces faced each other near the conference hall, where only the heads of the families would be allowed to enter.

The silence of the night before the storm filled the air.

Duke Alors couldn’t help but scoff at the sight of Argenta’s forces, who were trying to intimidate him with their sharp movements.

“Acting threatening.”

Even so, they were just poor candles flickering in front of the water.

The power he felt from Argenta’s forces was pathetically weak compared to Alors, even at a glance. No matter how weak the head of the family on their side had become due to the change of heads, he would still be stronger than Diello Argenta, who had not even awakened his power and had poor skills.

“Ahem.”

Duke Alors’ head, filled with confidence, lifted.

“Please come in.”

And as he entered the prepared conference room, his confidence seemed to pierce the sky. He could no longer feel the power of the lilies from Diello Argenta, who was greeting him with a hardened expression.

Duke Alors had to stop the corners of his mouth from splitting open.

It wasn’t too late!

In that case, the accomplishment of bringing Argenta to its knees shall forever be etched in the annals of history as his, Kellius Alors! With Argenta’s power in his grasp, retrieving the house’s insignia, regardless of who took it, would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
