A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 44 – Who stole Rodren’s body?

When they said that Rodren’s body was gone, I stood still and looked at Elizabeth.

Her lips were tightly closed, and I couldn’t see the slightest movement in her eyes as she looked at me.

This meant Elizabeth was telling the truth.

And it was true that Lordren’s body had disappeared.

“When did Rodren’s body disappear?”

“I don’t know the exact time. But, I’m sure it’s between midnight and before dawn, from what I’ve heard.”

From Elizabeth’s mouth came information about the time Rodren’s body disappeared.

Isn’t it because the place where Rodren’s body is kept is poorly guarded and someone stole it?

“Isn’t it because the place where Rodren’s body was kept is poor?”

“That can’t be. Rodren’s body is kept in the basement of the imperial palace.”

In response to my question, Elizabeth told me where Rodren’s body was kept.

“There are dozens of layers of security magic in the basement of the imperial palace, and it takes at least a year even for a great mage to penetrate them.”

“I see.”

To add Elizabeth’s additional explanation, the moment you send even a little bit of magic to break the security spell, an alarm goes off throughout the imperial palace.

Then, it is said that the Imperial Knights and the Imperial Magic Division, who heard the alarm, mobilized to solve the cause of the problem.

The place that was so thoroughly guarded was the basement of the imperial palace.

What if you try to break into the basement of the imperial palace and get arrested?

Then, not only that person will be punished, but the family that includes that person will be held accountable.

Then, I can think of one thing here.

From noble mtl dot com.

Surely, among those involved in this incident, who will benefit the most if Lordren’s body disappears?

“Lady Elizabeth. Who do you think will benefit most if Lordren’s body disappears?”

“Who will benefit the most?”

At my question, Lady Elizabeth put on an expression as if asking what she was talking about.

“Yes. Clearly, there will be those who benefit from the disappearance of Lordren’s body. Their actions will be clear.”

“Ummm, well… ….”

My guess is that Miss Elizabeth groaned and started thinking about something.

I also guessed who would benefit the most if Rodren’s body disappeared, and I shared my thoughts with Lady Elizabeth.

First of all, the direct parties to this case are me and Rodren.

In this case, Rodren is the perpetrator, and I am standing in the position of the victim.

Obviously, I have no reason to dispose of Lordren’s body.

If you ask why, it was because Rodren’s body was an important piece of evidence to cover the truth of this case.

Rodren’s body, which had been transformed by receiving power from an evil spirit, was proof that Rodren was entirely responsible for this incident.

So there was no reason for me to destroy Lordren’s body, which would prove my innocence.

Rodren, how can someone who is already dead get rid of his body?

Although it is said that there are cases where the spirits of the dead remain on earth and become evil spirits, the book states that in order to influence reality, it is only possible to accumulate grudges for hundreds of years.

In other words, the statement that Lordren got rid of his body could be treated as nonsense.

Now let’s get out of the dragon line and look outside, except for Rodren.

Now, our family and the Arcus family will be put on the line of suspicion.

However, according to the previous logic, my family had no reason to touch Lordren’s body, and in fact, my family never touched Lordren’s body.

It’s an important piece of evidence that allows us to obtain reparations and an apology from the Arcus family, so why bother getting rid of it?

So, all that was left was the Arcus family.

When this happens, it is the Arcus family that is the first to be put on the line of suspicion.

Even if it was a child he gave away, he was a member of the Arcus family after all.

If you have an accident after being kicked out of the family, it is officially regarded as an individual deviation.

However, Rodren is not expelled from the family, and it is clear that she entered the Royal Academy as a member of the Arcus family.

In the end, the Arcus family would take full responsibility for this incident.

“But, why would the Arcus family steal or destroy Lordren’s body?”

Elizabeth, who quietly listened to my guess, asked a question.

The question was whether there was any reason for the Arcus family to risk everything and steal Lordren’s body.

“That makes sense.”

Elizabeth’s point was extremely reasonable.

Although the Arcus family is famous, it is only a marquess family.

Invading the imperial palace at will is, in effect, plotting treason.

But why should they take such a risk and get rid of Lordren’s body?

“In addition, the Arcus family has already apologized and paid compensation to the Maidern family, so there is no reason for them to steal Lordren’s body.”

“Then there is only one left.”

“Were there still suspicious groups or persons left as suspects?”

“Yes. Lady Elizabeth.”

After excluding the suspects mentioned so far, there is only one left.

“Your Lady would know that well. I wonder who Rodren got his power from.”

“No way… Are you referring to the followers of evil spirits?”

I answered Elizabeth’s question with a nod.

I nodded her head and Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hands.

However, even her hands couldn’t hide the surprised look she saw beyond that.

“That, is that possible? Enough to break through the imperial palace’s security?”

“I think of two directions. In one, the follower of the evil god broke through the security of the imperial palace and got rid of Lordren’s body. The other one…….”

“One is…… ?”

After I stopped explaining, Lady Elizabeth asked me back.

The second one was absurd even when I thought about it, so I paused for a while.

“The second thing is that, in the first place, Lordren’s body was supposed to be gone by now.”

“What do you mean by that? Could you please elaborate a bit?”

Lady Elizabeth demanded a detailed explanation from me.

I wondered if I could tell her this, but she is also from the family of a great hero from 1,000 years ago.

So, she felt it right to confide this to her as well.

“During the fight with Lord Ren, she had a conversation with an evil spirit that appeared through his body.”

“Evil spirits and… Did you have a conversation?”

Elizabeth was taken aback when she told me that I was talking to an evil spirit.

Fortunately, there were no passers-by, so it was a shame, but the sound was so loud that it was noticed by someone.

“Hmm, hmm. Sorry. I saw ugliness. I couldn’t believe that Prince Alberto had a conversation with an evil spirit.”

Elizabeth apologized to me for being rude.

“By the way, what does that have to do with this incident?”

“This is my vague guess, but I think the evil spirit must have played a trick on Lordren’s body when he descended.”

“Hmm… …. That’s a valid opinion. It’s the ‘evil god’, not anyone else, so you deliberately let Rodren’s body disappear to prevent his identity from being revealed?”

“Yes. Other than that, I think it’s because nobody benefits when Lordren’s body goes missing.”

At my explanation, Elizabeth nodded as if she understood.

“That’s really true. If Lordren received power from an evil spirit, there must be a medium that gave it that power, and analyzing that medium will reveal the source of the power.”

“In addition, the church is sending saints and saints to investigate the truth. If it’s enough to dispatch the saint and the saintess, she’ll be suspicious of something there as well.”

The two of us further discussed and came to a conclusion.

This incident is said to have been carried out by the followers of evil spirits to avoid revealing their identities.

I don’t know how they got rid of Rodren’s body, but either someone broke through the security of the imperial palace, or it was supposed that Rodren’s body would disappear after a certain amount of time from the beginning.

These two things were the conclusion that came after Miss Elizabeth and I put our heads together.

“Something is absurd, but for now, this is the most persuasive argument.”

“It may have disappeared in the aftermath of the direct descent of the evil spirit, but in that case I have to say that I had a conversation with the evil spirit. Of course, I will testify if necessary.”

“Okay. Prince Alberto. Then let’s just break up. If there is something to discuss, I will call you back later.”

“Of course, Lady Elizabeth. We are colleagues who must fight the followers of evil spirits together from now on.”

So I said goodbye to Lady Elizabeth and went back to our respective rooms.

When she returned to her dorm room, she didn’t see that Nina had gone to bed first.

I sat down at my desk and thought for a moment about what was going to happen.

A lot of worries came into my head, but I thought it was a little too much to worry about something that hadn’t happened yet.

“Well, tomorrow’s problems should be taken care of by tomorrow’s me.”

From noble mtl dot com.

I decided to go to sleep as my head would throb if I thought about it any longer.

Hopefully tomorrow’s problems will be solved by tomorrow’s me.

And the next day came.
