Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Sadness of a Brother
during Agatha's departure, Issac continued to do his usual activities.he visited one by one the people listed in the list given by the master of the book dealer with Margaret. he's got a lot of great people and they're all willing to go to Versailles.
he was among those who had expertise in mining but because he had an accident to lose his legs and hands, he could not work anymore. Issac regenerated his lost limbs and there was also a karthographer (map maker) who retired early because his eyes were blinded and Issac healed him.
they will all be going to Versailles in the near future. Issac will coordinate with Anna to accommodate them.
but as he and others thought. Mansion really feels quieter. During these few months, Issac's relationship with Agatha is arguably already very close. they often fuss over things that are not important and it's fun. Margaret and Angelica couldn't have her treated like that.
but behind all the activities that Issac did, there was one secret activity that he did together with the VIESTA agents that he brought to the empire. starting from their history, their relationship with the emperor's family and nobles, also rumors related to Them.
Issac came to realize that he had to build up his information network in the empire as quickly as possible, because of the limited number of VIESTA agents, Issac eventually had to settle for a limited search. he searched various readings on Mariendolf from the library.
as a result he found some interesting things.first they were the main producers of weapons that supplied all the war equipment used by the empire.they had already done that for hundreds of years.
the relationship they had with the other families was also fine.at least that was what he got from the imperial historical records.but Issac was not sure it was happening.
the Schafer family definitely had the best iron forging technique in the empire and there was no way the other families would not want that. they would definitely try to obtain all those techniques at all costs even if it had to dirty their hands.
Issac also got interesting information.Agatha's parents died since he and his brother were small.The cause of his death was an accident and it was justified by imperial court officials.
of course Issac and Angelica did not think that simple.There must be something behind the deaths of both Agatha's parents.and it was VIESTA's job to find her year.
five days into the investigation, and Issac received the results.Based on the investigation they conducted, Issac was 90 percent sure that they were killed. First they were ambushed while on their way to another place.
the second is sabotage. There is a component of the horse carriage that is dismantled and it causes accidents.This method is the most possible.
there are rumors that the current leader of the Schafer family is seeking to avenge the death of his parents, but that's it. There is no suspicious movement from him.
but this is weird. Issac became suspicious of many things. Adalrich Von Schafer must have known this and he also prepared a retaliation, but in what way? he must have made a pact with someone who has very strong power.but who? that's what he doesn't know.
Issac lent his chariot not without reason.The train is arguably a giant eavesdropper. he could hear people talking from a great distance away and he arranged it to listen to all the conversations that were happening in the Agatha mansion.
"i didn't expect everything to be this chaotic! the boy...why is he trying to solve everything by himself!?"
Issac frustratedly ruffled his hair.he did not want to divulge this to Angelica and Margaret.but perhaps without them, Issac would not have been able to help Agatha.most importantly, he did, Phillip Bless was involved here.he did not know what kind of face he would show Margaret if she acted rashly and killed Phillip.
how else, he had to tell them this and cooperate.

she was alone and cold.In the basement prison of the Schafer mansion, Agatha could only curl up and shiver in the cold.she was lonely.no Margaret and Angelica were always with her. there is no young man who has always been a fuss.
amidst his contemplation and grief, his prison door opened. A red-haired young man with a handsome face walked into his cell.he smiled disgustingly towards Agatha.
"Thank you for accompanying my sister all this time, Agatha. as her gift, I'll make you feel good tonight because three more days, please, you're gonna vanish and this is the only time you can feel the joy of living."
The young man, Phillip, begins to approach Agatha.he intends to rape Agatha tonight.he undresses her and barely opens her pants when a fist hits her cheek and makes her bounce.
"What do you want to do, motherfucker! no one touches my sister! Guards, take this selfless bastard away from here and whip him. Don't let anyone get near this prison!"
the guards immediately picked up the unconscious Phillip and took him away.Acalrich and Agatha's glance met.
all he saw was the look of sadness from his brother.
