The Great War (10)

Protecting the Heroine’s Older Brother – 109

* * *

Roxana sat alone in the darkened room, motionless.

Since leaving the banquet hall, she hadn’t changed her clothes and remained silent.

A woman’s expressionless face was reflected in the mirror before her.

But her mind was not as calm as it seemed.

The face of the boy she had seen at the Vertium banquet a little while ago was superimposed on the mirror.

[Achille.]

When she first saw the name in the letter from Griselda, she couldn’t understand what she was seeing.

Roxana clearly thought the person Vertium referred to was her mother.

So she simply requested information from Griselda for confirmation.

Griselda, who had acted as Roxana’s helper even in Agrice, readily agreed to find out.

But why was Achille’s name coming up in this situation?

However, soon she felt the puzzle pieces that had been scattered were slowly falling into place.

The strange connection that seemed to exist between Agrice and Vertium.

Lant Agrice was clearly very interested in Vertium’s puppetry when he was alive.

Of course, Roxana didn’t know the details of this matter yet.

But she felt sure that Agrice was somehow involved in the puppetry of Vertium.

That’s why Roxana accepted Noel’s invitation.

To see with her own eyes if Achille was really there.

“Hello, Roxana.”

But the moment she witnessed him looking exactly like Achille…

Even though she had expected his existence, she couldn’t control her fluctuating heart.

“I wanted to meet you, my sister.”

While recalling the events in the banquet hall, Roxana’s red eyes reflected in the mirror became colder than ever before.

Roxana sat still for a while longer, then slowly moved her hand.

She took off her gloves and removed the accessories she was wearing one by one.

The servants had come earlier to attend to her, but she wanted to be alone and sent them all back.

Then, Roxana suddenly felt a subtle sense of discomfort and raised her hand.

Her hand reached her left ear, where she had deliberately made a wound to draw blood.

But for some reason, she didn’t feel any pain.

Even when she touched it directly with her hand, there wasn’t even a hint of tingling.

Roxana felt something was wrong and looked in the mirror.

Then she noticed that the wound on her ear had completely healed.

At first, she thought she was mistaken because the room was dark, but that wasn’t the case.

Roxana’s eyes twitched slightly.

For the wound to disappear without a trace in such a short period of time… No matter how she thought about it, it was unnatural.

Of course, Roxana had been with someone who could make this happen until recently.

But Casis wasn’t by her side now. But why…

“…….”

After a while, Roxana picked up one of the accessories she had removed from her hair and pricked her finger with its sharp end.

As expected, a drop of red blood formed on her fingertip.

But after some time, the sharp pain she felt on her fingertip disappeared.

When she rubbed her fingertip to wipe away the blood, she noticed that the wound that had been there a moment ago had healed completely.

“Casis…….”

Roxana murmured the name of the person who had flashed through her mind through her slightly parted lips.

She remembered Casis, who had spared no time in pouring his energy into her without wasting a single moment while they were together.

Then she felt as if Casis’s traces were still filling her body.

Roxana embraced her agitated heart and closed her eyes.

For some reason, at this moment, she felt as if Casis was with her.

* * *

“Long time no see, Blue Young Master.”

As Casis arrived at Wigdrasil and headed to the conference hall, he encountered someone he wasn’t happy to see.

It was Jeremy.

He was leaning against the wall in the hallway as if he had been waiting for Casis.

“Unexpected.”

Casis’s steps stopped.

He stared at the person in front of him and opened his mouth.

“I didn’t really expect you to show up here.”

“I’m now the head of Agrice, how can I miss such an important event?”

Jeremy said confidently, but in reality, Agrice’s position among the five families was very poor.

On the other hand, Pedelian, who had devastated Agrice, had not been shaken at all.

Of course, other families tried to put pressure on Pedelian as a result of this incident, but Rischel, the head, was too strong.

It was true that Pedelian’s actions this time were quite surprising. But there was enough justification for it.

Plotting to kill the successor of another family could not be tolerated for any reason.

In addition, other families were well aware that Agrice was like a boil that had festered and rotted.

In addition, Pedelian’s righteous appearance and their upright beliefs, which they had shown for a long time, could not be easily ignored.

For that reason, it did not take long to decide to condone what Pedelian had done to Agrice this time.

In the meantime, at the request of Jeremy Agrice, who bowed his head and came in, the Black family was barely allowed to remain in shape.

“You seem to like your current position quite a bit, Jeremy Agrice.”

The cold smile on Casis’s face could only be described as mockery.

At that, Jeremy became angry and bared his teeth, growling.

“Yeah, so call me the head of the Black every time you greet me.”

Since the place wasn’t very good, he just swallowed the curse that was about to come out automatically at the end of his words.

Jeremy felt like he was twisting because he wanted to pour out his anger on Casis.

As expected, this guy is as unlucky as Deon.

He didn’t like the fact that a guy who he thought had died a long time ago appeared like a ghost and made people lose their minds.

But no matter how he thought about it, it was clear that it was Roxana’s will that saved Casis.

Of course, that’s why Jeremy was so annoyed with Casis that he was going crazy.

But still, thinking of Roxana, he held back the curse that was rising from his throat.

Besides, he had something he was curious about regarding Casis.

“Blue dog… Young Master. Have you seen any other Agrice people besides me lately?”

Jeremy had been looking for Roxana’s whereabouts for a while.

Of course, he wouldn’t force her to meet him if she didn’t want to.

But still, he wanted to know if Roxana was healthy and where she was staying now.

But it didn’t work out as he had hoped.

He only found traces of Emily and Sierra while chasing Roxana.

Of course, that was useless information for Jeremy.

That day, Roxana clearly seemed to be planning to abandon everything and leave.

There was no way she would have gone to where Emily and Sierra were.

Then, suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and Jeremy was going to test Casis today.

If Casis Pedelian’s failure to die three years ago was Roxana’s will, and if he took the lead in destroying Agrice some time ago was also part of Roxana’s plan…

Just imagining it made him really annoyed, but he suspected that Casis might know Roxana’s location.

But Casis said without changing his expression.

“Other Agrice people? I don’t know who you’re talking about.”

“Just as it is, have you seen anyone?”

“Looks like you’re looking for someone?”

“Why do you ask so many questions when you should just answer the question?”

Jeremy tried to suppress his annoyance.

Looking at him, Casis said in a passing tone as if spitting it out.

“Asking me, a member of another family, about Agrice’s internal affairs? Aren’t you unqualified as a leader?”

“This…….”

Sparks flew from Jeremy’s eyes.

But he swallowed the curse that came out between his teeth and raised his patience to the maximum.

Damn it, this bastard is pissing me off again.

Casis looked at Jeremy, who was suppressing his anger, with a somewhat surprised look.

But Jeremy didn’t notice it because he was taking deep breaths to cool down.

“Yeah, there’s no way you would know. I wasted my time for nothing.”

After muttering that, Jeremy turned around first.

Of course, his last look at Casis was fierce.

However, Jeremy shut his mouth and entered the conference hall first without picking on Casis any further.

Casis watched the scene quietly for a moment, then followed Jeremy and moved his steps.
