"Damian, do you have anything to record evidence that the Malone and Sika Families are working with Demon King Boldax to stage a rebellion?" ask Julian.
Julian, Karina, Damian, and the Inca were in Damian's study. They are currently discussing how to follow up on a three-party insurgency plan.
Because they knew that the Malone and Sika Families would not remain silent after seeing the Sea Serpent being taken and auctioned by the Mollon Family.
Moreover, they did not win the Heart Sea Serpent they wanted and in the end it fell into Karina's hands.
"Yes. Lucky we have a magic item that can record an incident." Damian nodded.
He walked up and opened the door of the room, then he spoke to the guard who was guarding the door of the study.
Upon hearing Damian's remark, the guard nodded respectfully and immediately left from there.
"Wait a minute, my subordinates are carrying the item I was referring to." Julian sat down.
"good. Actually, all we need is proof. Because all the information about their plot of rebellion is known to us" said Julian.
"Should we wait for the arrival of Marquiss Alan?" ask Inka.
"I don't think so, it's too long. Even if we ask Marquiss Alan to come immediately on the grounds his right hand is doing a rebel, he won't believe it." Karina rejected the idea of the Inca.
"Sarin's right. It is precisely we who will be considered as rebels because Marquiss Alan must trust Sika very much." Julian nodded in agreement with Karina's words.
"Yes too." The Inca came to their senses and nodded that the idea was risky enough.
After a while, the door of the room was knocked. After Damian invited him in, the door opened and the guard came with a wooden box.
The guard handed over the wooden box he held to Damian. Damian accepted and allowed the guards to leave.
After the door closed, Damian opened the wooden box and it contained a white pearl-like glass ball.
"What is it?" ask Julian.
"Yes, this is a magic object that if channeled with mana then this object will emit a dim light."
"You just point the light that comes out to the object or something that you will record. When you're done, pull back where you are."
Damian took the pearl-like magic item and explained its function to Julian and Karina.
"Good, with this, it is certain that the Malone and Sika Families will be destroyed." Julian showed a wicked grin.
"Julian, you're like a criminal now" Karina said.
"Hehe." Julian just laughed.
The four of them then discussed a few more things until nightfall. Then, after dinner, they returned to their rooms.
...----------------...
Julian was currently sitting in a chair with warm tea spelled in front of him. He suddenly wanted to see the night star with a cup of tea.
"Hm, I hope there are strong people among the Malone Family. I want to fight someone strong, not a monster," Julian said.
*tok tock
Julian's bedroom door was knocked, Julian raised his eyebrows at the confusion of who came to his room at this time of night.
Julian got up from the chair and walked towards the door. Then he opened the door and saw that the one in front of his room was Karina.
"Yet? Come inside." Julian let Karina in without asking because she knew that Karina had something to say.
Julian took out another cup and poured warm tea into it. The two of them sat face to face in the moonlight.
"Julian..." Karina called Julian.
"Yes, I'm here." Julian was a little speechless as Karina did not immediately say what she wanted to say.
"Do you want to be my husband?" Karina looked at Julian with a stern look.
"Pfft-h!" Julian choked while he was drinking tea.
"Wait, what did you say?" Julian widened his eyes and waited for Karina's words.
"..." - ".Julian took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.
"Can you explain first why you say that?" Julian held his dizzy head.
"Hm, actually, it's not just Bruno who wants me to be his wife. There is one more person whose identity is higher than Bruno" said Karina.
"And who is it?" Julian narrowed his eyes in curiosity.
"The second prince, Lucas von Cruya." Karina reveals the identity of the person who wanted her as his wife.
"Damn!" Julian wants to swear at this time.
"Why are you asking like that? Don't you want to marry the second prince?" Julian frowned.
"I don't like someone who only relies on his status. Besides, Lucas already has a wife." Karina took a long breath.
"Huh? He has a wife?" Julian was silent and did not know how to.
"Yes, his wife can't give birth because there was an accident in the past. Therefore his wife allowed Lucas to remarry and the target was me." Karina nodded and explained why Lucas could choose a new wife.
"Ah, so so." Julian nodded his head in a sign that he understood Karina's explanation.
"So how?" Karina looked at Julian.
"I don't accept, because I don't want to be bound. But I also did not refuse because I was also a man." Julian answered ambiguously.
"Then what if this were the case, you'd just be my lover. Just to stop Lucas' pursuit." Karina thought for a moment and said.
"accepted." Julian stood up and hugged Karina.
"What are you doing!" Karina shouted in embarrassment.
"Exercise." Julian replied curiously.
"We can't do anything out of bounds!" Karina is still screaming.
"Don't worry, I won't do that. But, did you know? Where I come from, people who are 15 years old have even been in contact despite being in a temporary relationship" said Julian.
"What's? You mean, when they're dating, they're having that relationship?" Karina felt her cheeks getting hot.
"Hm, yeah. Speaking of age, I don't know your age yet." Julian let go of his embrace and asked Karina.
"Yes, I'm 20 years old. You you?" Karina answered and asked Julian.
"18 years. We have a two-year difference!" Julian smiling.
"I didn't think you'd be younger." Karina rolled her eyes.
"By the way, wouldn't a noble usually get engaged at 15? There are even some who are underage already engaged," asked Julian.
"That's because I'm the only child in my family. I can freely decide if I want to get married."
"And so, I'm craving strength. Therefore many men I have rejected because they are all weak."
"It can be said, that most are just men who can only rely on the status of their parents" Karina replied.
"Heh~ So so." Julian nodded.
The two of them then chatted casually while enjoying a warm tea and looking at the stars in the night sky.
After that, Karina returned to her room in front of Julian's room because she herself wanted a room near Julian.
"Is this where I can find a true partner?" Julian asked himself when Karina was out.
"Hm, whatever it is. It's true that I don't want to be bound because my purpose is to travel the world and adventure."
"Karina was the son of a Duke, a title that came under the prince or princess. They definitely wouldn't let their son travel the world."
"Well, even though I do like Karina a little bit she's my type, hahaha." Julian laughing.
Then, after cleaning the tea cup, he jumped on the bed and fell asleep.
