"Hahaha! This is fun, hahaha!"

An explosion in the palace in the middle of the night was no joke. Within ten minutes, everyone in the palace was alarmed. Even the comical king rushed over.

Of course, my words weren't so heavy, so I left the explanation to Arianhua. After hearing Arianhua's explanation, the king burst into laughter happily.

"It's indeed interesting. My suggestion made quite an impact; in just a few hours, something like this happens in the palace. Good, very interesting. But this is also dangerous. If this continues, what reputation will the royal family have left? Henry, what have you found out?"

Henry, who had been hiding in the shadows nearby, slowly walked out. He was the one who had given me the reward earlier, luckily I had converted the gift card into coins before leaving. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use it after the incident.

And now, I could clearly see where he was hiding, something I couldn't do before.

Henry Falt, Undead Mage, Level 13

Evil, Insane, Undead Magic Researcher, Murderer, Wanted Criminal, Director of the National Intelligence Agency

Although I still couldn't see his appearance, I could see everything about him clearly now.

Should I set light magic magic mines in his room? I think it would be an instant kill. However, this raises another question: does this guy have many books on undead magic?

Interesting. Although I can use undead magic, I don't have any relevant theoretical books. And this guy is a researcher. Could this be the choice of the Steins Gate?

And now, he is reporting his investigation results to the king.

"Report to His Majesty the King. It has been confirmed that the one who planted the bombs in the palace was Hels, who lost to Sir Philip earlier..."

"Execution."

"..."

"To dare to casually place bombs in the palace, he should be prepared to be killed, no?"

"I..."

Sir Hels, who had been standing nearby the whole time, collapsed to the ground after hearing that.

"I beg for mercy, please, Your Majesty. I only..."

"If you don't want your whole family to be executed, then shut up and die!"

As the king roared, a black shadow jumped behind Duke Hels, extended his hand, and slashed his neck with a knife. Duke Hels made a whimpering sound from his mouth, covered his neck spouting blood, and fell down.

Poor guy, if you don't do stupid things, you won't die...

"Alright, this is the fate for those who dare to cause destruction in the palace. But now, I think it's not appropriate for you to stay in the palace anymore. You will go and stay in the royal inn outside the palace. Three days should not be too long for you, right?"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

After listening, I saluted and said. Of course, I immediately agreed to his request for other reasons. Firstly, I had already discovered the true identity of the Imperial Guards, and secondly, the less my connection to the secret of the palace underground ruins and the investigation room of Henry, the better. If I was outside the palace, it would be the best alibi.

So, I obediently followed this Mr. Henry and went to the inn near the palace...

This expression feels a bit strange, but considering that this guy is about to die, I don't mind.

Why did I kill him? Isn't the reason simple? Of course, because he was an evil necromancer. How could an upright young man like me, who is skilled in light magic, not kill him?

"Okay, please rest well in the hotel. At the appropriate time tomorrow, we will send someone to inform you."

"Alright, sir."

Although I'm not sure if my movements were awkward, I think my imitation of the bow should be pretty good.

I obtained the key from the attendant and quickly ascended to the top floor of the hotel, entering the most luxurious room.

"Indeed, the designated hotel of the palace has a different style."

The room was decorated like treasures in the national treasury, sparkling with light. But I know that it's just an effect created using magic crystals, which means it's actually worthless.

However...

Since I'm here, I might as well enjoy myself~

I picked up the menu on the table and pressed the button to request service.

In less than a minute, the attendant who gave me the key appeared at my door.

"What can I assist you with, sir?"

I drew a circle on the menu.

"Please serve me all the dishes... outside of this circle."

-----------------------------------The attendant fainted in the restroom, demanding overtime pay from the boss-----------------------------------

There must be a reason for me to order so much food. After all, the dishes I ordered come with special buffs, where just a bite brings the effect.

Of course, I won't waste the leftovers. I will summon the toad and let it eat everything before putting it back into the ring. This guy is like a maze, he hasn't eaten anything before, so I'll let it experience the importance of having nothing to worry about by eating to its heart's content.

However, the reason I'm doing this is not to hide anything, but because... there are other guests tonight.

After nibbling on a plate of snacks on the table for a long time, I couldn't help but speak to the outside through the window.

"Arleana, if you have something to say, just say it. Standing outside like this will make you catch a cold."

"..."

Upon hearing my words, Arleana outside the window trembled, then turned over and jumped into the room.

"Indeed, you are not an ordinary person."

"Are you one too? Are you here to tell me not to disturb your revenge or to join you, Arleana Lee?"

"I see, so it seems my path to revenge ends here."

Arleana sighed and sat down without any hesitation.

"You actually ate so much alone, are you a monster?"

"What does it matter? You want to wipe out the Chelfa Royal Family alone, aren't you the real monster?"
