Chapter 76

The prison bars weren't very wide, so I shoved my sword hand through the bars and swung it, leaving long scratches on her cheek.

"I heard that dying in a fire is the most painful thing, so wait for the end of the burning fire to come."

As time went by, the day she would be burned at the stake would make her feel more injustice and more pain.

To be honest, there was a bit of medicine on the sword,so when she went to the capital, she was going to feel worse.

Killing her was really easy as killing a worm, but before that, I wanted to savor her painful time as long as possible.

Of course, there was room for use.

And above all else, I wanted her to get down on her knees before my mother and father and tell the whole capital of her evil deeds.

Lanella spit out all sorts of swear words, but I shrugged my shoulders once and turned around.

'Ah, I'm better at this than I thought. Framing and blackmailing...'

In the past, I had done a lot to Ian.

I framed him for having an argument first, and threatened to not let him go the next time I saw him...

But I thought it could be applied like this.

It was one of those few moments that was worth living as a trivial villain.

I went out and spoke to the people.

"Now, Lanella has come to her senses."

I didn't say what happened, I didn't say that other people couldn't hit her.

"I think you can go and see it. If she pretends to lose her mind, it's an act, so take that into account."

People's hands were full of stones and eggs.

"She can't die, so avoid the head and throw it. Of course, I promise to treat her more painful than death. I am also a huge victim of the misdeeds she committed."

The people nodded eagerly, and I left the dungeon fresh.

I wanted to talk to Ian with the newly obtained information.

I had to somehow figure out the temple's allies.

Apparently, Ian knew the temple people much better than I did.

Moreover, since Robert had been suspicious of the temple for a long time, there was a high possibility that Ian also had information he had heard.

Of course, aside from all rational reasons, I was very eager to brag about my excellent interrogation skills right now.

'He said that it was the room next to the room I stayed in.'

I was excited and headed to Ian's room.

[3rd PERSON POV]

Richard received a message from Carlon.

Seeing the note tied to the leg, he frowned and fell in thought.

"Brother?"

Then Elburn came and sat in front of him.

"Is it Prince Carlon? What's so special?"

"It said he will be returning from the Duchy of Edison soon."

"Well, it's time for him to come back."
