I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

6. Bullshit – 03

“The Duke of Estelle, or Cain von Estel, accepted our offer.”

“…I see, good job. Bianca.”

The head of the family’s office located deep in the Castana marquis family. There, Zion del Castana, the head of the Castana Marquis family, and his daughter, Bianca del Castana, were talking cautiously, going over the soundproof screen made of magic. The conversation they were currently having was an extremely secret story that should never be leaked to the outside world. In particular, considering the fact that rats are infiltrating somewhere in the Castana Marquis family, even if you are careful, there will never be a shortage.

“In the next few days, Duke Estelle will arrive at the Marquis of Castana. Ostensibly he will arrive here as my fiancée. If they are hiding in the shadows, they will never be able to sit idly by as the Duke of Estel and the Marquis of Castana may become one.”

“I guess so. It was something that the nobility of the empire wanted more than anyone else to divide into quarters. Since a few days ago, the news of the engagement between you and the Duke of Estelle has been secretly leaking throughout the empire, so it’s probably moving as if the soles of your feet are on fire by now. This is a one-time opportunity for the rats hiding in the shade to raise their heads toward the sun. Bianca, never forget that you must never miss this opportunity.”

“…I’ll keep that in mind. Lord.”

…However, the conversation they had was too formal and too formal to be called a conversation between father and daughter. Of course, it wasn’t understandable given that they were currently facing each other due to an official business relationship, but even taking that into consideration, the current between the Marquis of Castana and Bianca was extremely awkward.

And, it wasn’t entirely wrong. Neither Castana Marquis nor Bianca were feeling any emotion from the conversation they were having right now. They were throwing dry words at each other as if they had made a promise in advance. There was nothing about blood or blood or friendship between father and daughter.

Of course, the Marquis of Castana and Bianca herself were aware of this fact even better. However, neither of them had the will to improve the current stifling situation. Probably because it’s already too late. Now, nothing could be undone. They were already walking on parallel lines. Everything has already ended a long time ago. all.

“By the way, there is something I want to ask you. This is a question arising out of personal curiosity related to the Duke of Estelle.”

“…Speak. Lord.”

“What kind of person was the Duke of Estelle that you met in person? Rumor has it that he is an idiot who has nothing to do with anything other than his ability to charm the opposite sex. Was he really like that? If not, did he look like a guy with some hidden talent, befitting someone who inherited Estelle’s lineage?”

The Marquis of Castana’s question was nothing more than a question born out of pure intentions, without any malice on his part. The Marquis of Castana was also aware of it because he had recently heard rumors that had stirred up the entire empire.

The little duke of the Estelle family, Cain von Estel, had caused all sorts of scandals over the past few months. And, although it was completely unbelievable, the fact that he had triumphantly won after competing head-on with the Duke of Tournigen, who had risen to the level of a master at the banquet hall of the system.

As the Marquis of Castana, who had never met him in person, it was not easy to grasp the true nature of the Duke of Estelle. Indeed, was he just an insignificant idiot, as rumored, or was he actually a tiger cub hiding his claws?

So, the Marquis of Castana asked Bianca a question. Putting aside his personal feelings for Bianca, he implicitly acknowledged that her eyes were somehow useful. If it was Bianca like that, at the very least, she would have easily figured out her true face without being swayed by the rumors going around in the world.

And at that moment, the Marquis of Castana realized that he had made a mistake.

Goo Woo-woong-

“…!”

A huge amount of magic power exploded from Bianca’s petite body. The magical energy exploded from her becomes a storm that fills the entire small office. The mana exploding from Bianca stood sharp as if it represented her current mood. Even Marquis Castana, who was revered as a great wizard in the empire, felt his body tingle from Bianca’s mana. No, it didn’t stop at that level, Bianca’s magic power weighed heavily on the entire office as if it had a single mass.

‘…that, um…’

It really couldn’t have been anything out of the ordinary. Is it possible that you are so affected by the magic power that comes from the body of a young girl who has not even moved yet, and that is not intentional, but the residual magic that can be said to be the result of not properly controlling your emotions in a moment?

Whether or not she knew the true intentions of the Marquis of Castana, Bianca spit out words as if chewing on her father, burning natural fire in her eyes.

“…He, Cain von Estel, is my fiancé. Also, he’s not someone the patriarch would count on. So, please do not use expressions that insult him in front of me. Preferably, forever.”

At Bianca’s determined attitude that she would never allow any objection, the Marquis of Castana had no choice but to swallow a groan inwardly. Unexpectedly, he realized once again that the daughter in front of him was a monster. Indeed, should I say that it is the greatest masterpiece that Castana created?

…However, unfortunately, the masterpiece turned out to be nothing more than a failure. I was careful and careful not to do that, but as a result, the being that was nothing more than a weapon was equipped with a human mind. It really couldn’t have been a more regrettable situation.

But there was no reason to pretend to be with Bianca here. It was a time when an important gig was ahead. From a reasonable standpoint, it was clear that at most a few words of sugar coating would be enough business to settle Bianca. Even if you don’t listen well, it’s clear that it’s still a useful weapon.

“…Yes, I will recant what I just said. If so, I will ask you again. What kind of guy is the guy who might become my future son-in-law in the future?”

It was hard to believe that Marquis Castana, who had a cold disposition like a wizard, was uttering a somewhat sarcastic tone. However, the moment he uttered those words, Bianca’s mana that filled the room disappeared as if it had been washed away. Surprised by this, the Marquis of Castana looked up at Bianca’s face and saw that she had a very faint smile on her lips. It was the smile of a daughter I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“…a good man. After all, the head of the family will like it too.”

“…..”

Looking at Bianca like that, Marquis Castana couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. No matter how insensitive he is to the feelings of others, there was no reason not to notice that the situation was turning at this point.

‘…Huh, this is true.’

I didn’t know anything else, but one thing seemed certain. The guy named Cain von Estel must have been a f*cking convert as rumored.

‘He’s a formidable guy. No, I have to say he’s a great guy. I need to double the number of people monitoring the Estelle duchy.’

It was the moment in the head of the Marquis of Castana that the treatment of Cain von Estel was decided.

****

“…funny, really.”

As soon as she got out of the housekeeper’s office and locked herself in her room, Bianca snorted.

It was funny. The behavior of the family head trying to adjust the situation according to his will when he knew nothing was really ridiculous. Whom does a fool who can’t even look under his own feet dare to judge? The fact that he was her father didn’t even bother Bianca. If the Marquis of Castana hadn’t been a moderately clever, moderately discerning and useful hunting dog, Bianca would never have left him alone.

Protect the Castana marquis family? To Bianca, everything he said was just an excuse. That man was just a small person who couldn’t sit still and watch what he was clutching in his hands leak out.

In the first place, I felt disgusted by the behavior of sitting on the subject of an idiot who did not even know that his closest blood relatives betrayed him and looking out into the heavens. It was to the point of feeling a bit regretful that he couldn’t show the man what he was doing.

“Legacy of the dragon that runs through the sky, let out a sigh of sorrow.”

jjeook-

With Bianca’s murmur, the space next to her split open. It was a subspace magic that only a few of the existing magicians could use. Through the cracked space, a middle-aged man with a facial contour that somehow resembled Bianca’s and a knight with a sword appeared.

The middle-aged man was Heron del Castana, the younger brother of the current head of the family and one of the chief wizards of the Marquis Castana, and the knight wearing the sword was a man named Joshua Pendle, the 2nd division captain, belonging to the Knights of the Black Wind of the Marquis Castana. was

…And at the same time, it was also the trash that sold the Castana marquis family to ‘them’. There was no evidence, but Bianca knew perfectly well that they were traitors. Because, it was certain information that I found out by going through their heads in the future. Nowhere in the world could there be more definitive information than this. Except for the very minor downside of not being able to reveal the source of the information to anyone.

However, when they got out of Bianca’s subspace, their appearances were far from normal. Their pupils were wide open, and saliva was leaking from the corners of their mouths. It was like an idiot without reason. Needless to say, it was Bianca’s work. It can be said that it is the result of ‘persuasion’ against them, because if they go wild in the sub-space, the work becomes annoying.

“…huh.”

Bianca was sneering at them. In her eyes, they were nothing more than trash that didn’t deserve to exist in the world. In my heart, I wanted to turn those bugs to dust at once, but unfortunately, they were still useful bugs. So I couldn’t kill him yet. yes, not yet.

“Look me straight in the eyes.”

“…..”

“…..”

Eyes widened by Bianca’s words, they stare blankly into her eyes.

“In a few days, Cain von Estel, Bianca del Castana’s fiancé, will arrive here. What you do is very simple.”

As she said that, Bianca quietly whispered to them as if she was genuinely happy.

“A week after he arrives here, sneak up on him. Show your intent to kill him. But don’t kill him. You shouldn’t even get hurt. There’s only one thing you have to do: pounce on him like an idiot and be easily caught by his hand. Did you understand what I said?”

nod

At Bianca’s words, they quietly nodded like idiots. At their reaction, Bianca smiled as if she was genuinely satisfied. It seemed clear that her ‘research’ had been a considerable success.

“…Cain.”

Bianca’s goal was simple indeed. It was to give him all the credit for capturing the bugs that were eating the Castana Marquis. If he made such a huge achievement, the head of the Castana marquis family, including the head of the household, would have no choice but to acknowledge him. At the very least, even if Cain wanted to marry a woman from the Marquess of Castana and not just a nominal engagement, he wouldn’t be able to easily raise an objection.

…If, to the end, I would have to ‘persuade’ the same, but I just hoped that such a thing would not happen if possible. Digging into other people’s heads was never a pleasant thing for her.

No matter how you think about it, this was the best. It was a way for him, himself, and everyone else to be happy. That is why such a huge play was planned. I didn’t seek out the traitor who could be dealt with anytime if I wanted to, and brought the situation to this point. does he know The fact that the entire Castana marquis family was nothing more than a stage created for him.

At first, I didn’t even know I was reluctant. But he too will know. how much you love him What have you sacrificed for him? If he knows everything, he will surely fall in love with himself too.

With this, all preparations are complete. All that remains is for him to arrive here. Bianca thought of what was going to happen and smiled with a yo-yo-like expression.

“…Please, don’t let me cross the line, Cain.”

please.
