Origin of the Last Black Magic (4)

Soon after, to their surprise, a voice was heard vividly in the wind.

~"Found it."

~"...Annabelle? Did you say you found it now?"

~"Yes."

"...Annabelle?"

Marilyn and Oscar, who were in the crowd, looked at each other and murmured.

Of course, Annabelle's opponent was undoubtedly Robert.

Because Robert usually spoke to the common people, few people didn't know his voice.

Naturally, she had no choice but to draw more attention to the Empress.

"Hey, isn't this black magic? I wonder if this black magic is manipulating lies and spreading it in the capital city!"

The Empress eagerly spoke. To get around this situation, she had to somehow divert the attention.

"Even so, a lot of strange things are happening in the capital these days!"

Right now, it was buried because of the swordsmanship competition, but there was something that everyone in the capital knew.
