Chapter 760

The work continued thereafter. Amidst the numerous communications flooding into the southern branch of the Cavalry relating to the events of the previous day, there was also a message from First Princess Myra.

As expected, she was deeply shocked upon hearing the news about Knight Radel.

"I had been quite worried since Sir Radel did not return last night, but I was relieved when I heard the Cavalry were assisting in the search. But to think that Sir Radel himself would be involved in such an incident..."

As soon as Lady Myra received permission to visit the Cavalry, she hurried over, her face showing signs of severe fatigue. Like someone who had lost a sibling, she wore a black mourning veil, but her emotions were not completely concealed.

"Where is he now?"

"We have separated him from the other knights and confined him underground. He is still sleeping soundly."

"Sleeping peacefully, even though he's a traitor. Well, the traitors from the Conche Baron's family also babbled nonsense comfortably, unaware of their own circumstances."

Sharpness tinged Lady Myra's voice. She took several deep breaths to calm her anger, then recounted the events that transpired after her visit to the Conche Baron's house yesterday.

"The Duke's competent knight had already taken measures to ensure that everyone remaining at the Conche Baron's house couldn't escape. Thanks to that, we could have a peaceful conversation."

When Yuder had visited the Conche Baron's mansion yesterday, he thought the absence of people moving around or working outside meant that the original owner might not be there. However, the Conche Baron was inside the mansion, foolishly intoxicated alone and unaware of the events unfolding outside.

Confronted by Lady Myra, the Conche Baron rambled, claiming the Southern merchants were just ordinary guests and he knew nothing else. Thinking that Myra had captured the Southern merchants and destroyed his house, he even threatened to inform his entire family of her misdeeds.

"I clearly told the Conche Baron that I knew what he was plotting with those southerners. He might have planned to kill Ashrav and then me, to eventually usurp the Duke's position, but now that he's been exposed, it'll never go as he planned. When I told him that Ashrav's horse and the servant he had taken were captured, the Conche Baron threw a disgraceful tantrum."

Regardless of his tantrum, Lady Myra remained unfazed and carried out her intended actions. Her knights, following her orders, investigated the whereabouts of the Baron's household members who weren't in the mansion and soon found success. They discovered his wife and children staying at a villa owned by the Conche Baron on the outskirts of Charloin. Most of the servants who originally worked at the main house were also found there.

Through their investigation, Lady Myra confirmed that the Conche Baron had intentionally emptied his main residence, sending his household to the villa under the pretext of a vacation, to provide a comfortable hiding place for the Southern merchants. He was a true traitor who had even sacrificed his own mansion for this purpose.

She gathered all the evidence and testimonies and informed the entire Herne Duke's family. The Herne Duke's family, already in shock from the sudden death of the Second Prince Ashrav, was overwhelmed by this news.

Still, even after experiencing numerous events in just one night and hearing yet another betrayal by a knight of her own house, Lady Myra was not brought to ruin.

"From the beginning, Sir Radel was neither one of mine nor Ashrav's. He acted like a meticulous man who followed principles and was loyal only to the family, but in reality, he was just one of those bats, cunningly hedging his bets, always contemplating where to align himself."

If Baron Conche had used the Southern merchants to kill the Second Prince Ashrav, then Radel must have pretended to know nothing, coming out to investigate, watching how the situation unfolded, and playing his part in hindering and covering up the truth.

"It's good that we've weeded them out on this occasion."

"Yes. Finding those who had killed Ashrav and covered up the evidence is a relief for me. But the thought of how many more such traitors might be in our family sends shivers down my spine."

In just one day, she had found two traitors within the family. The conspiracy they had concocted was not something that had been arranged overnight but had been prepared little by little over more than a year, chilling Myra's heart.

Even Ashrav, who was always so cautious, had been brutally murdered while out with a servant he trusted.

What if Myra had met the Cavalry even a day later? She would have suspected them of being the culprits behind Ashrav's murder and would likely not have come to Kishiar. Then she would have been swept away in the aftermath of Ashrav's suspicious death, unaware that she was the next target of the traitors.

'If I had not come to my senses, I too would have been disposed of by now.'

The uproar caused by Cavalry Commander Kishiar and his assistant turning the illegal fighting rings upside down immediately upon arriving in the south had been a stroke of luck for her in many ways.

Myra bit her lip and raised her head.

"Before coming here, I received news from the Herne Duke's main house. My father, who only expressed displeasure over Ashrav's death, seemed quite shocked by yesterday's events. I think he'll soon contact the Cavalry through Baron Jacob of Charloin."

"Oh? So the Duke of Herne is finally thinking of making a move?"

Kishiar asked with a smile, and Myra nodded slightly.

"He has no choice. The illegal fighting ring issue has surfaced, one of the heirs is dead, and suddenly monsters have appeared. If news of the traitors within our family gets added to that, my father will have to step in."

"We should hope it's good news for us."

"If the Herne family doesn't want to lose their influence in the south, they have to. I told them in my message to the family that the Cavalry had done everything we couldn't, implying that they can't stay back as they have been until now."

It was a direct statement, typical of Myra's character.

"Hmm. Wouldn't that kind of talk rather anger the Duke of Herne's side?"

"Let him be angry if he want to. My position is not so weak that it will be shaken by that much. I was the one who collaborated with the Cavalry to solve this issue, and I was the one who helped with the cleanup in Charloin. The fact that I'm not involved in Ashrav's death has been clearly established, so there's no reason for me to weaken. I must seize this opportunity while I can."

After saying so, Myra boldly made her proposal.

"And now that it's clear the Cavalry did not kill Ashrav, please open your doors again and resume your activities freely. There are still illegal fighting rings to be dealt with and the fools caught from them need to be investigated. I, Myra El Herne, pledge my name to assist you in whatever way I can."

As Myra had predicted, that afternoon, Baron Jacob, the lord of Charloin, paid a visit. Contrary to his previous absence despite news of the Cavalry Commander's arrival, as if his past behavior were a lie, he greeted with a respectful demeanor, then bowed deeply in apology.

"My health has been poor, which regrettably delayed my visit to you, Duke Peletta. I was already aware of the deeds the Cavalry has done in Charloin, and I have come, albeit late, to express my gratitude."

He was already informed of what the Cavalry had accomplished in Charloin. It was baffling that he knew yet hadn't come earlier, but the news he brought wasn't particularly bad for the Cavalry.

"The illegal fighting rings have been a major headache for us, but those involved were cunning enough to avoid being rooted out. I've heard the Cavalry intends to investigate these rings to find oppressed Awakeners, and we will aid in this task."

Though it was absurd, knowing that he and the city guards had colluded with the organizations running these illegal rings, it was a relief they wouldn't hinder future endeavors.

However, Baron Jacob's purpose wasn't solely such positive news. After expressing thanks for the monsters they had slain and asserting their own lack of responsibility, Baron Jacob subtly added something more.

"However, I've heard there might have been some misunderstandings regarding those apprehended in the illegal fighting ring this time... Perhaps, could you show some leniency in this matter?"

"I must confess, my understanding is a bit lacking here. Were there any among those the Cavalry apprehended who were caught due to a misunderstanding? Who exactly are you referring to?"

Kishiar laughed in a carefree manner as he responded.

[BL] Cloudless Sky

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.

"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."

In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.

"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."

And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.

"For now, until then, let's sleep..."

As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.'

[BL] Bermuda

Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.

Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council's army, decides to personally apprehend him.

"Since when have you been watching me?"

Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.

"From the very beginning."

[BL] The Mist (Same author as Turning)

In the autumn of his 18th year, after winning the high school kendo championship finals, an unexpected accident occurred.

Due to that incident, Kang Mu-heon lost one of his legs, his closest friend, and his promising future. He closed off his heart and shut himself away alone.

A few years later, the world's first real virtual reality game <THE MIST> was announced, where even those with physical disabilities could play in healthy bodies.

By chance, Kang Mu-heon encountered it and began a new life as the mage Kapros, facing unexpected meetings, reunions, and days of change....

***

"Why was someone like you born into this world to make me so miserable? Do you understand when I say it like this?! You were born with talent for the sword, a bright personality, everything - you must have been laughing at me always lagging behind! Did you even know how pathetic I felt because of your stupid hypocrisy? A genius? What does any of that matter!"

Seung-jo's cries stabbed at his heart, wailing as if he were crying even though he wasn't, but there was no time to think further. He quickly clutched my stomach, got up, and ran towards him.

He looked surprised for a moment, but he was desperate.

Just as the car was about to reach us, he shoved Seung-jo hard. Right after Seung-jo fell and rolled away with wide, startled eyes—

Screech!

Bang! With an impact that felt like his whole body was being shattered, he flew through the air.

And in that brief yet long moment of floating in space, he remembered his reflection in Seung-jo's eyes for the last time.......

***

[ Then in THE MIST, may you become the master of infinite possibilities. ]

Whoosh!

When his vision returned after everything went white, he was standing in the middle of a bustling town. Amidst the clamor, countless people were busily going about their business here and there.

He looked down at himself, standing dazed and wearing clothes of unknown origin. When he touched the sleeve, he felt the texture of fabric as real as reality. His hair felt the same, and even when he touched the wall of a nearby house, he could clearly feel the solid, cold surface.

Is this... VT?

It seemed like a joke. It truly felt as if he had come to another world and was touching everything.

As he stood there unable to think due to the shock, he suddenly remembered the biggest reason he had decided to play this game, and snapped back to attention. His two legs were still as they had been when he first stood.

'Can I really walk?'

He first stepped out with his left foot, then very slowly put strength into his heavy right foot. It felt like cold sweat was running down his spine.

And then,

He lifted it,

Moved it,

And took another step to touch the ground again.

So easily. As if there had never been any problem with this leg from the beginning.

"Ah..."

At that moment, something that was neither joy nor emotion shot up his spine. Suddenly feeling a lump in his throat, he lowered his head and leaned against the wall. His right foot, bearing his weight, was doing its job perfectly.

"..."

Holding back the tightness in his throat, he took another step.

It didn't hurt. It wasn't heavy. His leg was no longer a useless piece of wood that ached.

Damn it, to be able to walk so easily like this.

To be able to run so easily like this.

He had wished even in his dreams for the day to come when he could walk and run like this again.

And so he walked again, kept walking, slowly getting faster, until finally he started running like a madman through the entire town.

***

"Kap. ...There seems to be a misunderstanding. That's not what I meant."

Just as he was thinking he should throw a punch, Yu-wan sighed with a troubled look and said.

A misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding when he said with his own mouth that he didn't think of me as a friend?

"I didn't expect to receive such a question suddenly, so my explanation was probably too brief. Let me rephrase."

Yu-wan reached out his hand, his face completely changed from before - intense yet resolute - as he stared at him. As he didn't reject the hand suddenly approaching his face and kept his gaze fixed, his cool large hand touched his cheek completely.

A shiver ran down his spine at that moment.

"I'm sorry to say this to you, but I don't see you only as a friend. ...This is the complete answer."
