"Why is your face like that?" ask the Crown Prince.

"Why didn't they kill Adel and Albert or find them behind the house?" ask Noah.

"We don't know about that either..When the killers looked at us, they just walked around and looked around the back of the house.It seems they were looking for us, but we weren't seen by them." Adel also looked confused.

'Hm.. What exactly happened all this time?Why was there nothing in my life before?..What reason?..'

Episode 36's

"We have to hurry away.The condition of Baron Oscar must have been severe.We can not stand still for too long" said Noah.

"You're right.But it's midnight now, and it's dangerous enough that if we go through the woods.More your magic will be drained and you can pass out once we get there." Eugene said.

"It looks like you guys want to visit Oscar territory huh?" ask Adel.

"There's business that we need to finish" replied Eugene.

"Anu..Mister?.."

"ah! My name's Eugene.Then this is Noah and.emm.."

Eugene was silent when he was about to mention the name of the Crown Prince.He was reluctant to call his name.The Crown Prince and Noah looked at him flatly.

"Call me Veldas" the Crown Prince continued.

"My name is Adeline and this is my brother Albert" Adel said.

"You don't have a clan?" ask Noah.

"Actually we have but father does not give it.Many things that father hid from us.So did mother, he threw away his family just like father." replied Adel.

"Who are your mom and dad's names?" ask Noah.

"Xavier and Runa." replied Adel.

"Hm..I feel familiar with the name." muttered the Crown Prince.He thought hard to remember where he heard the name.

"Maybe it's just your feeling.Come kit-"

srekks!a srreek!

The sound of the leaves of the trees around them sounded close enough.No wind was strong enough to move the leaves.

Noah and Eugene immediately prepare with their swords.The Crown Prince asks Adel and Albert to get into the carriage to be safe.

Eugene and Noah feel a lot of magic around them.Forced, Noah uses his magical vision to detect the presence of magic flow around them.

"This road is narrow enough for 12 people like you.Get out!"

It didn't take long.The people who were hiding came straight out and attacked the two of them.

"You stay here and don't make a sound!" crown Prince whispers to Adel and Albert.He immediately helps Noah and Eugene.

A fierce battle took place between the three of them.12 against 3, a considerable comparison when viewed from the number.

'They really make me sick!'

Without further ado, Noah used his magic and attacked those people mercilessly.the 12 men fell to the ground as soon as Noah crippled them.Eugene and the crown prince secured the men and tied them to the magic Eugene.Noah left one person to be interrogated.He approached one of them, and,stomping on his stomach and stabbing the man's hand without mercy.

"Say, who are you?" ask Noah.

The man did not answer.He could be considered brave because he did not answer Noah.

"Will not answer?Eugene, borrow it."

"Yes?"

"Sword."

"Oh."

Eugene gives Noah his sword.Noah takes his sword stuck in the right hand of the man.Also he stabs the left arm and sticks Eugene's sword right beside the man's neck.Slowly Noah moves the sword towards the neck.

"Say.I give you 5 seconds."

"T-no..AKH!!"

Without any pity, Noah slashed the man's neck with the sword of Eugene.Eugene and the Crown Prince who saw him instantly petrified, not daring to open his mouth.

"Next."

One-by-one of them in Noah's interrogation slowly with a little threat.The color of the magic of paralysis that was strong enough from Noah earlier, they could not move and could only speak.11 people just silent.Of course Noah was silent, no matter what,but his hands moved lightly separating their heads from his body.Sisa 1 person last.

"Say."

"No way!"

"You want to take your friends to hell?"

"Egh.."

"5..4..3..2.."

"Wait around!I'll tell you!"

Noah stopped counting.Eugene's sword still in his hand stopped moving to the neck of the last person.

"Say."

"K-we are an organization formed by an old woman..D-he didn't tell me his name or identity openly.." said the man stuttered.He looked very frightened.

"Then, do you see him often?" ask Noah.

"K-we only met once when we got the first order, about.5 or 6 years ago..If he gives the order, then we have to carry it out..The order from him will come through the Count." replied the man.

"What's the call?"

"W-we call her Madam Yuri..B-but the Count called him His Majesty.."

Count Yuridan and Eugene were the ones who did not haphazardly call other families with 'His Highness' other than the emperor's family.

"Why did you attack us?"

"I-it's..AKH!!"

A stream of black magic was seen suffocating the person in Noah's eyes.The person was out of breath and died instantly.

"Ck."

Noah smashes the head of the man without mercy.His fresh blood hits the entire front of Noah's body including his face.

"What was that?." murmured Eugene.

"A black magic strangled this man, he was dead" replied Noah.

'Seeing his head crumble is definitely no one believes he is still alive.' thought Eugene and the Crown Prince.

Adel tried to peek out.He saw many corpses scattered outside full of pools of blood.

"A-anu.mr Veldas.."

"Hum?Why?"

"Are they dead?.."

The Crown Prince stared at the corpses strewn with stupefied and blood everywhere.Even the one whose head had just been crushed by Noah.

"Noah killed them because they did not answer the question.11 of them were dumbfounded and 1 was crushed his head." he said casually even seemed excited with a wide innocent smile.

Adel seemed to tremble in fear.He excused himself to go back into the carriage, trying to remove the scene he had just seen from his mind.

"We must immediately clean up these bodies before dawn.It can be very bad if the residents find these bodies" said the Crown Prince.

"Just stack them up.Then, hide them in the dugout I'm going to make."

"All right."

Eugene and the Crown Prince collect the bodies.Noah immediately might dig a hole deep enough for the bodies.

After a while, they finally managed to clean everything up, except for the blood spots that are still on the ground.

"Noah, you keep it here first.I and Eugene will clean up in the river near there."

"All right."

Eugene and the Crown Prince leave Noah to clean up.Noah feels the atmosphere is very calm, but not with his mind.

'Who is Madam Yuri?The Count called him 'Your Majesty'..Adel and Albert who never showed up in my first life before..Xavier and Runa..A familiar name is also in my ears.'

Noah took out the ring he took from the people earlier.With his magic, he tried to destroy the thing.

'Too loud..What was this thing made of?'

He stared intently at the ring, the symbol he had seen for the first time.

'Grandpa said he was no stranger to this emblem..Does he know anything?'

Soon Eugene and the Crown Prince returned, taking turns washing themselves.

Eugene got into the horse-drawn carriage and found Adel and Albert fast asleep.Doesn't have the heart to wake them up, the Crown Prince asked Eugene to let them come along,but Adel and Albert had nowhere to rest.

"I'll take turns running the train.You rest with Adel and Albert" said Noah.

"Alright.Thank you Noah." replied Eugene.

Not to forget, Eugene and the Crown Prince covered their faces with a hood, as well as Noah.They sat quietly in the car.Noah immediately went to the Baron area even though the day was very late.

'Looks like I should probably get there soon..Can't be delayed anymore!'

.

.

2 Days passed, finally they reached the territory of Baron Oscar.

"What the fuck?!.."

"It's gruesome.."

How surprised they were so into the Baron area.Home residents have been pretty much destroyed.The merchants no one is selling.The conditions are really severe.

"If this was a border region, there were at least many bodyguards on guard..Where are they all?" the Crown Prince was astonished.

"We need to see the Baron!"

Noah sped up their train to the Baron residence.When it arrived, a lot of people who looked so anxious there.Only the house around there that was not so destroyed compared to the beginning of the entrance earlier.

A man who looks quite old is giving a walk around the residents with a look of a face that looks so sad.She must be a Baron.

Noah got down from his place and walked up to the man.

"Excuse me, Mr. Baron."

The baron who saw Noah wearing a black hood and covering his face was a little suspicious of Noah.

"You who?" ask Baron.

"I'm a traveller from Mark.Sorry to make you suspicious like this, but..what's going on here?.." replied Noah asked back.

"...almost the last 3 weeks our territory was attacked by groups in white.We do not know where they came from.They destroyed the houses on the border" said Baron so sad.

"Where are the guards?" ask the Crown Prince who just got off the train.

"I also do not know.Every day there are 2 people who go to the capital to ask for help to His Majesty, the Emperor, but they never came back.I tried to use the dove post but the bird did not return either.We were stuck here for almost 3 weeks filled with suffering." replied Baron began to cry.

"Didn't Count Yuridan also help this region?" asked the Crown Prince to begin to suspect.

"But when he came here and observed the situation, he always said 'Help from the government has not been given, hang on.' while giving 200 gold to us every week" replied Baron.

"WHAT?!"

"The veldas!Shtt!"

"Sad..Can't be allowed to."

Shortly afterwards, a horse-drawn carriage came towards the Baron's residence.A old man with a long beard and looking very luxurious got off the carriage.It was Count Yuridan.

"Welcome, Mr. Count." said Baron.

Noah and the Crown Prince looked at the Count so sharply.

'Bad!'

Seriate...
