Demon Tribe (12)
It was funny to be able to sell Julietta. However, Kalinda’s feelings for Julietta were not great, so she could only make a small wish to change the appearance of the body.
It was nothing for the red lady to remove the bloodstains left in the prison and move the two bodies.
They erased the traces and fled using a teleportation magic camp underground in the abandoned palace.
There would have been another alarm in the abandoned palace, but it would have been thought to be the work of the demon who ate Julietta.
Who would think that the second empress, who has lost all her power now, is running away? Only the Haasler family knew about the Red Lady.
“Child, what are you thinking?”
The red lady sitting opposite Kalinda asked her. Kalinda took her eyes off the lights of the palace in the distance.
In her head, she remembered the once beautiful emperor and herself looking at him… She soon erased it from her head. It was already too late.
“I was thinking about making that palace mine, mother.”
The red lady’s mouth was torn at the sight of Kalinda saying this even though she felt fear. Kalinda turned her head to her smile, which seemed satisfied.
If she could put this Isfacia Empire at her feet.

The deaths of the two empresses were not reported until late in the morning to Cecil. The body of the second empress Kalinda was enshrined in an underground charnel house under the temple inside the palace, but the body of the first empress Julietta had to be sent to the lab of the wizards.
There’s not much left, but they had to find out what demon hit her.
However, only one arm remained, so it was difficult to be sure whether this belonged to the first empress Julietta. Both her parents and brothers were killed, so they could not be identified through the paternity test.
“…just send it to the charnel house.”
Cecil said as if he was in trouble. Imprisoning the two empresses in an abandoned palace was the will of the current status system. It was because she couldn’t be killed or dethroned because of the contract with the already ruined duke’s family.
If he were him, he would have made an excuse and killed them.
“Did they say that the alarm went off twice that day?”
“Yes, it rang about two hours apart.”
“When was the statue broken?”
“About 10 minutes before the second alarm goes off.”
After the curse was broken, something was detected in the magic boundary of the abandoned palace… Cecil, who was worried, sent the chief royal wizard to the charnel house. It was to identify the body of the second empress.
However, the results should be reported in secret.
Shortly after Cecil started working, the chief wizard sent a person. What was said was shocking.
“It wasn’t the 2nd queen?”
Cecil, thinking at most that it had something to do with Julietta’s death or that the second empress was also murdered, frowned.
The body found belonged to Marquis Wenson, he said.
Why the hell is Marquis Wenson coming out of there? Those who heard the report, like Cecil, were surprised, but Cecil immediately noticed.
You idiot!
Only the emperor, the crown prince, and the now-retired chief wizard knew how to solve the curse that bound the second queen.
“Take the gatekeeper of the tower and search the abandoned palace again.”
The angry Cecil’s voice made knights and wizards move again. Cecil frowned and thought about how to deal with this right away.
If the news of the Second Empress’s escape was announced to the whole world, Kalinda would be a dagger who would later seek his back. He’s not afraid of her, he’s not afraid of her, but now he has someone to protect.
Rowena.
She had an older brother and a younger brother. Rowena’s sadness would be great if the two were damaged by Kalinda.
“Do I have to put a trap?”
It was obvious what Kalinda would do. Since the emperor is in bed, she will assassinate him and seek power by volunteering to protect him.
Funny, but it was possible if Cecil died.
We have to catch the Demon tribe that is aiming for Rowena, not just Kalinda.
Kalinda’s presence was neither threatening nor frightening. What he cared about was the presence of the Demon Tribe, who had already instigated to harm Rowena.
Even after the death of the second empress Kalinda, the Demon Tribe might stick by another human being and encourage them to harm Rowena. It shouldn’t have been left that way.
Cecil did not meet Kalinda in person, but he knew her nature roughly. It was because the servant or maid reported.
She was greedy and vain. And she has high self-esteem.
There were many ways to attract people with such characteristics.
“Let them know that the search for the abandoned palace is to find the remaining monsters.”
Cecil added this and headed to the place where the abandoned palace was located to examine the progress.
