It was hard to believe that Marquis Castana, who had a cold disposition like a rock, was using a somewhat sarcastic tone. However, the moment he uttered those words, the mana that had filled the room disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Surprised by this, the Marquis of Castana looked up at Bianca’s face and saw that she had a very faint smile on her lips. It was the smile of a daughter he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“He’s…a good man. And you will like him too.”
“…..”
Looking at Bianca, Marquis Castana couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. No matter how insensitive he was to the feelings of others, he noticed the situation was shifting at this point.
‘…huh, so that’s true.’
He didn’t know much else, but one thing seemed certain. The guy named Cain von Estel must have been a formidable person, contrary to the rumors.
‘He’s a formidable man. No, I have to say he’s a great man. I need to double the number of people monitoring the Estel duchy.’
At that moment, in the mind of the Marquis of Castana, the treatment of Cain von Estel was decided.
****
“Heh…funny.”
As soon as she got out of the head’s office and locked herself in her room, Bianca snorted.
It was funny indeed.
The behavior of her father trying to adjust the situation according to his will when he knew nothing was really ridiculous. Whom did a fool who couldn’t even look under his own feet dare to judge?
The fact that he was her father didn’t even bother Bianca. If the Marquis of Castana hadn’t been moderately clever, moderately discerning, and a useful hunting dog, Bianca would never have left him alone.
Protect the Castana marquis family?
To Bianca, everything he said was just an excuse. That man was just a small person who couldn’t sit still and watch what he was clutching in his hands slip away.
In the first place, she felt disgusted by the behavior of an idiot who did not even know that his closest blood relatives had betrayed him. It was to the point of feeling a bit regretful that she couldn’t show him what was really going on.
“Legacy of the dragon that runs through the sky, let out a sigh of sorrow.”
Zree-jeook!
With Bianca’s murmur, the space next to her split open. It was a subspace magic that only a few of the existing mages could use. Through the cracked space, a middle-aged man with a facial contour that resembled Bianca’s and a knight with a sword appeared.
The middle-aged man was Heron del Castana, the younger brother of the current head of the family and one of the chief mages of the Marquis Castana, and the knight was Joshua Pendle, the 2nd division captain of the Knights of the Black Wind of the Marquis Castana.
And at the same time, they were also the traitors who had sold the Castana marquis family to ‘them’.
There was no evidence, but Bianca knew perfectly well that they were traitors. This was certain information she found out by going through their minds in the now distant future. Nowhere in the world could there be more definitive information than this. Except for the very minor downside of not being able to reveal the source of the information to anyone.
However, when they got out of Bianca’s subspace, their appearances were far from normal. Their pupils were wide open, and saliva was leaking from the corners of their mouths. They looked like idiots without any capability to think.
Needless to say, this was Bianca’s doing. It was the result of her ‘persuasion’ against them because if they went wild in the sub-space, it would have become quite annoying.
“…heh.”
Bianca sneered at them.
In her eyes, they were nothing more than trash that didn’t deserve to exist in the world. In her heart, she wanted to turn those bugs to dust at once, but unfortunately, they were still useful. So she couldn’t kill them yet.
Not yet.
“Look me straight in the eyes.”
“…..”
“…..”
Eyes widened by Bianca’s words, they stared blankly into her eyes.
“In a few days, Cain von Estel, Bianca del Castana’s fiance, will arrive here. What you have to do is very simple.”
As she said that, Bianca quietly whispered to them as if she were genuinely happy.
“A week after he arrives here, sneak up on him. Show your intent to kill him. But don’t kill him. Don’t even hurt him. There’s only one thing you have to do: pounce on him like an idiot and be easily caught by his hand. Did you understand what I said?”
They nodded quietly at Bianca’s words like idiots.
At their reaction, Bianca smiled as if genuinely satisfied. It seemed clear that her ‘research’ had been a considerable success.
“…Cain.”
Bianca’s goal was simple. It was to give him all the credit for capturing the bugs that were eating away at the Castana Marquis. If he made such a huge achievement, the head of the Castana marquis family, including the elders of the household, would have no choice but to acknowledge him. At the very least, if Cain wanted to marry a woman from the House Castana and not just have a nominal engagement, they wouldn’t be able to raise objections easily.
If not…in the end, she would have to ‘persuade’ them, and she just hoped it wouldn’t come to that. Digging into other people’s heads was never a pleasant thing for her.
No matter how she thought about it, this was the best way. It was a way for him, herself, and everyone else to be happy. That was why she had planned such a huge play. She didn’t seek out the traitors who could be dealt with anytime if she wanted to and brought the situation to this point.
‘What would he think if he knew that the entire Castana marquis family was nothing more than a stage created for him?’
She knew very well that he was reluctant.
But he would know…just how much she loved him. What she had sacrificed for him. If he knew everything, he would surely fall in love with her too.
With this, all preparations were complete. All that remained was for him to arrive here.
Bianca thought of what was going to happen and smiled with a gleeful expression.
“…please, don’t make me cross the line, Cain.”
‘Please.’
