Evan D. Sherden, Added Sub Party (3)

This time, I will go with six people from the senior group, as we challenge the unknown environment. Lets pick only two people to stay for now; one of them is Arisha.

I was expecting it, so its okay. Im not pleased, but its okay

And Mirole, can I ask you to keep the dungeon city safe while Im gone?

Leave it to me.

Arisha, the second Vice-Commander, will help the Knights run smoothly even while Evan was away. Mirole would fill the void of force.

Ill take good care of the city, so pay me in advance.

Advance payment?

Right here.

Arisha pouted her lips. It seemed like Belois and Arisha were acting like babies day by day. However, after Evan gave her a small peck, he suddenly felt a gaze from his side. It was none other than Mirole.

Is there anything for me, Commander?

Uhwhat do you want?

Just kidding. Please have a safe trip.

Evan answered nervously, but Mirole just smiled. Arisha looked disappointed in her expression.

You know, Evan is my fianc.

I know, Miss Arisha.

Arisha, stop misunderstanding.

But no matter how I see this situation

He kissed the grumpy Arisha several times to calm her down and told her something.

Mirole is someone I can trust and leave the dungeon city to. Dont fight for no reason, and please get along well.

Im not a child anymore. Alright, if you say so. Ill overlook my concern as a woman and get along with her But I still didnt get enough kisses from you. Load me up, and then you can go.

Sometimes, I miss when you were still an innocent child

Of course, Arisha often has an indifferent look on her face these days, but she became honest about Evans feelings and thoughts. It was a great thing, but sometimes it was burdening. He thought enjoying that kind of pressure was part of loving a person.

Then lets get going.

But Master, are you trying to rouse up Sherdens underworld by creating your absence more frequent?

Yeah, well, thats one of the reasons.

There were so many things to do! There would be many occasions when he was away in the future, but Evan couldnt lift his head up because it was an excuse for the main scenario.

Master!

When he headed to the Marquis with the Senior Group, Maybell was already waiting there, and when she saw him, she waved delightfully. Her neat black suit was giving off an intelligent look that wasnt easily found in her. But strangely enough, but it wasnt just that

Maybell, you look prettier.

Oh, my God, Master! Even if you say it so naturally

Maybell was happily twisting her body around, but Evan didnt say that to seduce her. Belois, who was accompanying Evan, proved it.

You look so much prettier.

Really? Maybe its because I changed my makeup. By the way, Belois, youve gotten prettier too. You are a fully matured woman now.

Yes.

For real. I cant believe Im falling behind Belois.

Wait, Evan thought these women just had a dangerous exchange of information! Evan looked around, nervous for a moment, but no one seemed to notice the subtle nuances in their conversation.

Maybell, you

Huh.

When Evan gritted his teeth and turned around to Maybell, she was staring at Evan with a naughty smile. As expected, he couldnt say that something had changed clearly, but she was more attractive than before. Perhaps the skills created while working as a representative of the company enhanced her appearance.

Its revenge for teasing me last time.

Phewlets just talk to my father and get going.

Evan went to greet Marquis Soline with Maybell, who was smiling playfully and clinging to him. The Marquis was with his first wife, Redine, and she greeted Evan with a big smile. He could tell the reason without having to ask.

There are so many fun things going on right now. What are you planning to do?

The scenario will be more interesting if Im not around since Im their ultimate goal.

Well, my sons reputation has grown so huge that even the most prominent criminals are scared and running away. Why dont you spread the rumor that somethings wrong with your health?

I was thinking of doing that, too.

Evan, Ill start opening the gate, so come once youre done.

The only people who used the gate were Evan and six other Astray Senior Group members, and Maybell. The first destination was Leonine! As they left the gate, the chilly winter wind welcomed them.

Its colder than Sherden.

Were about to move north. Whats going to happen to you when we arrive there if you are already cold here?

Shine, come here. Its warm.

Anastasia naturally called Shine, who pretended to be cold, though he wore only butler clothes every season. But as soon as she hugged Shine, a ghastly figure appeared.

Oh, now youre doing vulgar things in public.

Oh, octopus Brother.

What did you just call me?

It was Matthew. Since he was also a Prince, he could find out who was using the gate in advance. Evan was looking for a chance to run into him anyway, but it was good that he came first. Evan stepped forward and greeted him.

Long time no see, Prince Octopus.

You just called me an octopus!

Excuse me. I bit my tongue. Prince Brainless.

No, you did it on purpose!

It was a mistake, Prince Matthew. So

He approached Matthew quickly and spoke.

In the sense of apology, Id like to give you my sincere advice just once. When you work together with someone, there are good people and bad people. The people youre trying to cooperate with are the obvious latter.

What

I mean it. Im sure you understand.

Matthew became pale and stiffened on the spot. Evan didnt bother to say anything more to him and walked past him with his group. Shine approached him and asked.

Is it okay for you to say that now, Master?

I have to talk about it now. Whether Matthew obeys me or not, I can bring about a change in the situation either way.

If Matthew didnt understand, perhaps in a few days, the Duke Leonine familys succession battle would end with Anastasias victory. If he still had a knack of understanding, he would be able to hold out being called Prince Octopus.

Thank you for giving my brother a chance, Commander.

This time, it was Anastasia. Evan shrugged back at her words.

This was not only for Anastasia but also the Duke. And I just want Matthew to make a wise decision.

Evan used the gate, so he would have to greet the owner, but the Duke was out of town. Evan split ways with Maybell. She was going to trade in Menaton and Leonine and head for the capital city by wagon.

Then, Ill join the people of the corporation. Ill see you later in Sherden.

Do well, Maybell.

Yes, Masterwell.

Have a safe trip.

Ahhhhh!

Since Maybell seemed to be procrastinating without thinking of separating from them, Evan kissed her first. Maybell, whose face turned red, ran away from Evan, clenching her fist and grasping her slimes. Evan felt an indescribably strange sensation when he saw her. He thought it didnt fit with her image.

Strange, now that Maybells attitude has spread to other girls, Maybell herself has become more innocent. Is it like getting over a cold by spreading it to others?

No way. Thats because her desire has reached its limit. So now, she looks as if she is back to square one, butthe moment it explodes, you will encounter a massive disaster, Master.

Shine, youve improved your ability to create scenarios.

I agree that she is suspicious. But she has always been suspicious.

So am I, but you guys are saying harsh things to Maybell so casually.

Evan, guided by Anastasia, took his group and settled in the proper palace. Although Anastasia had indeed been away from Leonine for a long time, many servants and knights followed her, so there was no inconvenience in being guided to the castle.

If you look at this, its like the games already over.

But the title of the eldest son is never to be taken lightly. If he hadnt made mistakes, whatever I did in Menaton wouldnt have mattered. The Dukes position wouldve still belonged to him.

And he was now on the verge of making the biggest mistake of his life. From here, what he did was importantEvan peeked through the room as if he were checking the security of the room he was guided in, and finally checked if the door was closed, then laid down on the sofa in the middle of the room with a sigh. Everyone lined up on both sides as if to protect him.

Lets wait hereWhat about the Duke?

He wont be back for two days.

Two days.

We have to finish by then.

Of course, it was never a coincidence that Evan arrived at Leonine just in time when the Duke went out for an inspection. Just as Evan left Sherden to make it easier for criminals to work their plans, the Duke had to leave his palace to make it easier for criminals to work their plans. Yes, he tried to provoke a bunch of bad guys, the remnants of the cult left behind in Leonine. Thats why he provoked Matthew.

Hmm, I didnt expect Prince Matthew to contact the cult.

It was obvious. The nobles abandoned him, and he had limited means to defeat Princess Anastasia in a short time.

It had been a long time since he learned that Matthew L. Leonine was connected to the cult. Even Duke Leonine didnt know, but Maybells intelligence unit allowed him to receive the information and prepare in advance. Evan wasnt very surprised to hear that. Rather, he was amazed at the idea that Matthew managed to make such a dangerous deal without being caught by his father. But that was enough. Those who appeared as the main enemies of Yo-Ma Great War 4 were human trash, who boasted the worst combination of pseudo-believers and black magicians who believed in false gods. They were evil people that must be taken out completely, and if Matthew tried to get involved with themhe should take out Matthew with them.

Whats Matthews move?

Ive made the Ghost Lady follow him. Shell call me as soon as Matthew shows any suspicious behavior. Oh, its already here.

[Master, hes amazing.]

The next moment, the Ghost Lady suddenly appeared in front of Evan and Shine. Perhaps it was just her mood, but she boasted a vivid appearance, indistinguishable from humans.

[He cast a black spell in this castle. Or was this already here before?]

What?

[One thing for sure is that black magicians are lurking in the castle. I hear they are starting the operation right away tonight. They are grinding their teeth while targeting the Prince.]

Evan frowned when he listened to the report. Anastasia had a terrible look on her facewhile Belois calmly prepared for battle. But Matthew seemed to be more impatient than Evan.
