An Assistant to the Angel of Death
80

"I can't believe it, the fox!" The Grand Duke's inner voice was upset by Claude's voice that could enter his head.

"Why? you still don't believe it? our fellow demons can do telepathy like this. I just learned it from an archangel accompanying me now."

Claude simply smiled without saying anything, as he only spoke telepathically to Granduke. With many words of provocation that made Granduke really very angry.

"Basic fucking fox!"

Looking at the Granduke bound by the king's magic chain. Making Claude who saw it was so concerned and funny that it made him hold back laughter, like seeing a rare animal that was being exhibited in an illegal auction market.

"Prepare for this final point' will determine your fate!"

Claude was like a real demon in the eyes of Edmund De Jacques or used to call the name Granduke Jacques a distant relative of the previous King. He earned such a high title among the other nobles.

After a joint verdict, the judge lifted his hammer and then beat him three times for a verdict of approval regarding the re-examination of Duke Louirk's murder.

"There is no need to linger, let's end this trial with points that have not previously been discussed by the defense and the prosecution, namely the King's assassination plan and human trafficking. Is there a statement that can be conveyed by Mr Prosecutor?"

Oscar allowed the prosecutor to read out the details of Granduke Jacques's crimes along with the articles applicable in the kingdom. The biggest mistake lies in the point of the King's assassination plan which is the most sensitive and taboo in the society of the Greenbreez kingdom.

***

As soon as the end of the trial this time, it could not be denied by anyone even by Claude. The plan he had already built though seemed unable to make the judge's decision to sentence Granduke Jacques to death.

One particularly fatal point was that the Granduke Jacques' plan of wanting to kill the king was revealed all without the slightest remnant. One of the people who could reveal the plan was the one who was very close to the Granduke. Whether it was his own younger brother the knight Jacques who now replaced the position of Granduke Jacques. Either the Granduke's loyal servants begin to betray his own master.

Everything was beyond Claude's expectations. The special forces of work are really very competent.they are indeed worthy of being called special forces seeing from their systematic movements and have very extraordinary advantages. This time Claude really lost. Though he had forced Iroas as a very famous defender for this but it seems that it does not mean much after the last point was revealed.

"You're still upset about the outcome of the trial?" Gabriel asked Claude who was clearing his mind while sipping a cup of 2nd grade tea that was very famous among the nobles. The aroma that relaxes his mind and body helps him to think rationally again.

Claude, sitting at his desk, could only think of his next plan in depth. Without even hearing Gabriel's words.

"Why are you moody like this? You need to quickly figure out a plan for how you can get to that bridge to kill your next target. Are you still thinking about your first defeat? but isn't Granduke's death sentence still suspended after Duke Louirk's death trial is over. That means you still have time to do your job."

"You're right, the defeat of the trial is not the end of everything. I'm just tired, can't I just rest for a little while to move forward to the next plan?"

Gabriel smiled with satisfaction, At first he thought Claude was like other demons who did not like defeat and thirst for victory. Like the war between humans and demons thousands of years ago.

"Well, maybe I always misjudged you. The contents of your head always make everything can not be read at all. As a reward I'll give you one important piece of information about your brother."

"You're praising too much, and it doesn't seem to be related to my next plan, does it?"

"You mean my brother is that Charlie?"

"Maybe it was him, because all of the Marquez family's powers he almost handled everything except Mr. Marquez's personal matters."

"Before I thought, Dad thought the same as you he suspected Charlie of doing the unexpected. Or even it will bring disaster to this family.

But I couldn't find much of a gap he did. Because all my family is not well. Even Charmy who I thought he could be my ally after something happened to Krud I'm sure this is closely related to Charmy who previously saw Krud.

But on the other hand I cannot act rashly or do my mission and personal affairs simultaneously. Usually at times like this Krud helps me by posing as Themis."

"I'm sorry I'm not used to being human. Even when I was Erik De Alger I didn't know what to do."

"No problem, that's not what I'm thinking about right now. We still have about two days left, which means that by the day after tomorrow we should be prepared to put our strategy on the bridge to kill our target."

"So do you want to check with certainty the identities of these two nobles."

"No we don't need that. I usually find out first the identity of the person I'm going to kill but for baron prietto I'm pretty much getting a lot of information about him."

"Where did you get all that information."

"Dad!"

"Master Marquez!? Is it possible that your father like that told you information about other nobles."

"Actually I'm also less sure of what he's talking about, but I want to try to the extent to which my father wants to deceive me."

"Then shouldn't you be looking for additional information to cover up the flaws?'

"Indeed information about our target is important especially about what magic he uses. But I think Baron prietto for a man who commits many illegal acts seems sure to be hiding things about himself, let alone the magic he has."

"It may happen that way, but wouldn't disguise be perfect if we looked natural and mingled with other people."

"That's possible, I've thought about it before and it'll be here any minute. Now we need to relax to wait for the play date."

"Tiba!? how-"

Suddenly a letter-delivery bird came with such powerful seal magic, into Claude's bedroom window. Gabriel's eyes widened at the magical beast, as the magical beast was emitting a very unique magic and he had never seen it before.
