Chapter 31
“I know you must be surprised, but please understand that we had to come to you like this . I am Peyton, the Third Prince of the Empire . ”
“Oh, what are you doing here?”
“His Majesty has sent you this . ”
He handed me the black envelope quickly .
I couldn’t remember exactly what the three princes answered amusedly, but their polite voices were clear .
“……then please tell him that I’ll be there soon . ”
“Yes, madam . Just a moment . ”
Bang .
As soon as I closed the door, I leaned back, laughing, and gasped .
No matter how hard I tried to convene with Selene secretly, all I could do was laugh and laugh like there was no tomorrow .
“…Madam . ”
“I’m sorry, guys, but this will be completely different from our plan . ”
It’s good to have different strategies, but I have to survive first .
“It’s not like people who use black magic are on the run . In addition, demonic techniques are of a much higher caliber than normal magic; you can’t perform them with sheer strength . ”
“So, you’re saying they are outwardly indistinguishable?”
“Yes, it would be ridiculous; someone who genuinely knows how to use black magic could without a doubt erase their own traces . ”
The royal wizard, kneeling, answered Rashid .
He came all the way to the north in search of Loam’s traces, but the wizard seemed to be ashamed because he did not know that the emperor would release him .
“Your Majesty, if it is you or the previous wizards of your royal bloodline then it is not possible to catch the black magic user . ”
“But if it’s your uncle…”
Rashid wrinkled his dark eyebrows . Kerhan, the brother of his late mother and a grand wizard, had long since disappeared from the world . Although the five princes discovered their magical talents early on, they still kept in touch with the tower from time to time .

However, all he did was leave the German Pearlstone to the newborn Haniel without attending his brother’s mother’s funeral .
“Then, what are other ways to find out who they really are?”
“Those who obtain the dark arts are usually black-haired . It does not show up at birth, but the user will grow into it . ”
“…And?”
“There are times when they act under the pretext of instability and isolation . And since they put effort into captivating their targets, they can appear gorgeously elegant or dazzlingly charming…”
“I’m sure she is!”
“…I told you to be careful . ”
Rashid gave Tennon a fierce look, telling him not to step in . But Rashid also had an indescribable, unrecognizable look on his face .
“Is that all?”
“I’ve never experienced it, but black magic users can also dominate the soul of a person for a moment . I heard that it’s hard to escape their grasp because it’s irreversible . That is the power of darkness . ”
“…That’s too much . ”

“I’ll find out more . Anyway, if anyone uses black magic, we should find out as soon as possible for Lohan . Oh, Prince Peyton is here, too . ”
“You’re back, Your Majesty . ”
As soon as the royal wizard retired to the last ship, Peyton, who had delivered the letter, stepped inside .
Shifting his expression after feeling the unusual atmosphere, Rashid uncrossed his legs .
“What did he say?”
“She looked a bit flustered, but she respected the Emperor and agreed with your decision . ”
Surprised as he could be, Rashid stroked his chin .
Peyton also coughed when he thought of the duchess, who he had seen a while ago .
“She said she’s coming?”
“She said she is waiting for her meeting with the Emperor . ”

“…What?”
The sound of his older brother’s gasp resounded in the chamber .
Tennon scratched his cheek, feeling uncomfortable .
“Are you sure you will be alright? What if she’s really a witch?”
“That’s impossible . ”
Frowning, Rashid sat upright, showing a cold expression, and put his fingers on each side of his face .
“You can’t just let go of an opportunity and leave it to the wizards . Loam, Haniel, and one or two suspicious beings that are from the north are there . ”
“That’s for sure . ”
“In the North, where there is no governor or family head, there are only two women who stand out . ”
Whether the result is good or bad, it is a basic rule to supervise the area first .
