I Fell for the Temptation of the Evil Crown Prince - Chapter 196

Cecil, who defeated the servant and the escorts with a light gesture, looked at William. He gestured to talk about Marquis Hassler and his daughter.

Although he was briefed along with other subjects, William felt the report was inadequate. In addition, the crown prince said he had something to call him to discuss separately, so he seemed to have a plan.

“Your Highness, what is the problem?”

“The second queen escaped.”

Cecil told them that the second empress, Kalinda, was released by Marquis Wenson and that Marquis Hassler and her daughter were eaten by the demons, presumed to be the ‘Red Lady’.

William’s expression became serious.

“Kalinda would definitely aim for His Majesty.”

“That’s what I think… Strangely, the Demon Tribe brought her out now. But to offer Marquis Hassler and his daughter…”

Emilia was about the same age as Cecil. In addition, the Marquis of Hassler had no qualms about offering because he was not very close to the Second Empress.

“Can you guess?”

“Kalinda was particularly obsessed with His Majesty, so I think it’s because of that. The Second Empress didn’t give birth to his son, so…”

“She may have demanded regency from you.”

“Against me?”

At Cecil’s laugh, William coughed in a hm.

“I’m sorry about this. It must have been impossible to regent against you.”

If the emperor was killed by demons and Cecil ascended to the throne, Cecil would have executed the two, claiming that the two emperors killed the emperor with their own unique tricks.

If he doesn’t have proof, he can make it.

Cecil’s spirit was not much different from a decade ago or now. When it came to power, he had no room for mistakes.

“She has been stuck in a tower for more than a decade, so her resentment will be terrible. Your Highness, you should not forget that Kalinda is a black wizard who has signed a contract with the Demon Tribe, although she has lost all power now.”

“So I want to catch her now.”

“Do you have a plan?”

“Of course. There’s more to be careful about.”

There was one problem in which the knights who guarded the abandoned palace and the officials investigating the case were all troubled. It was where the devil appeared.

The knights and soldiers, who turned the closed palace upside down at Cecil’s order, managed to find a teleportation magic camp installed underground. As a result, the secret of how Kalinda and the Demon tribe invaded and where they fled was released.

The problem was the prison where Marquis Hassler and his daughter died. They searched all over for a similar magic circle, but they couldn’t find anything like that.

“…the second empress has a demon or wizard that can transform her appearance.”

“Sometimes I don’t understand the power of the Second Empress, but this is insane.”

Despite William’s appearance, Cecil was only calm. If he thinks, the Second Empress is cornered, and in turn, sacrifices the people around her.

‘It means that she finally decided to dedicate the emperor.’

Kalinda was not an empress. It would have been difficult to sacrifice the emperor because she was just a queen and had no resuscitation of her own. However, the emperor did not give Kalinda a child.

If he had spent a night with her, she would have brought a fake child and pretended to be pregnant, but the emperor did not sleep with her. He didn’t have a relationship because he thought something was suspicious.

On the other hand, the first empress Julietta once had children of the emperor. It was before the emperor met Cecil’s mother. Kalinda, angry at him, miscarried Julietta by some means.

At that time, the emperor seemed to think there was something strange about Kalinda.

“I heard that the second empress had a strong pride. It’s not a real funeral, but she’ll be angry to know that her funeral is being held in a shabby manner.”

“I’m sure it will… Definitely.”

Such a funeral would be natural for Cecil, who lost his mother to them, but Kalinda’s position to maintain the position of the second queen until the end would be different.

In front of the palace, Cecil declared that she would not be buried in the royal tomb without a state funeral. If she was hiding somewhere in the capital and listening to the news, Kalinda would have changed her mind in anger.

“Then what if we had a party on that day?”

At Cecil’s words, William recalled Kalinda. She’ll never be able to stand still. To ruin the party and show her robustness, she would do anything.

“…what can I do for you?”

It would be dangerous, but it was important to capture Kalinda before she gained power. Cecil nodded satisfactorily at William’s words, which soon recognized his meaning.
