I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

The attack on the Duke's Mansion shocked the entire royal capital in just a few days.

It's not just because someone from the demon clan is involved in it...

is even more because Her Royal Highness, the dignified Third Princess, was actually killed on the spot in this attack.

What is even more disturbing is that this incident has involved almost half of the aristocratic class in the royal capital.

On the bright side alone, the number of people captured by the Knights of the Holy Wood reached a staggering hundred.

And most of them are subjects under the command of the other two crown princes, which is difficult not to think that the death of Her Royal Highness the Third Princesses has something to do with them.

As for the royal family, they did not react to the actions of the Holy Wood Knights, and were completely laissez-faire, including the other two princes, who are the heirs to the throne.

Because their sister died in this incident, at least in the eyes of everyone in the royal capital now.

Even if they want to intervene, they have to weigh the negative impact of intervening.

Even so, they didn't believe that this sister of theirs would die here like this.

After all, Iloti's endless methods, they know all too well.

Only this time they could only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, after all, many people had seen Iloti's body, and even if they had a mouth, they couldn't tell clearly.

And Iloti, who is once again hidden behind the scenes, has already begun to arrange her next arrangements.

............

“...... Mistress Christine.

Eli looked at the girl in front of her, and the expression on her face was a little complicated.

I'm afraid that Christine would never have dreamed that her father, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was not only involved in the party struggle of the crown prince, but also had the blood of the demon clan flowing in her body.

"This is the instrument of the title that was not handed over to you at the Duke's Palace, and it stands to reason that... Mr. Eli, you have been promoted to a viscount, there should be a special ceremony for the conferment of titles..."

"But now that Her Royal Highness is dead, all the planned ceremonies, big and small, can only be put on hold for the time being."

Christine sighed, and then handed Eli a gold wire scroll sealed in fire paint to Eli.

"Good work."

Eli took the scroll in his hand and sighed silently.

He didn't want to get involved in those complicated power struggles, so he didn't tell Christine the truth.

Christine shook her head, a wry smile on her face.

During this time, she no longer knew how many people had been interrogated.

As a result, after some interrogation, none of the evidence of collusion with the demons was asked, but some old accounts from the past were turned out by them.

These days, she always feels like a puppet being manipulated.

Obviously, she could vaguely sense that something was not right, but she couldn't say it.

"By the way, there's this."

Christine opened the package around her waist and pulled out another document from inside.

"This is a fief divided for you, and you can recruit some men to serve as personal forces in the mansion, but the number cannot exceed thirty, which is the upper limit of the viscount's jurisdiction."

"I don't think you need those private weapons anymore,"

Christine silently tilted her head and glanced at Emma and Chizuru,

who were playing chess behind Eli.

At this time, Emma was trying to secretly repent of the chess game, and was slammed on the Tianling cover by Chizuru with a large special chessboard.

"Chizuru, lightly start, that chessboard is very expensive."

Eli didn't look back, but he also knew roughly what was going on behind him.

"My head is more important than the chessboard!"

Emma's shouts were heard immediately.

Eli opened the file and found a long line of text written on it.

He selectively ignored the clichés of the official tone and keenly captured the most crucial messages.

On the top of the document, in the form of sketches, the outline of a small European-style bungalow is simply outlined.

Although it doesn't seem to be a big scale, it shouldn't be a problem for a dozen or so people to live in it, including the servants.

Good guys, this thing is not only for land, but also for houses.

They are now planning to buy a house, after all, it is not a problem to stay in a hotel every day.

"Oh, this house is a little old, and it will take a lot of work to renovate it, Mr. Eli, remember to hire a team that can do home service when you go over."

............

It's not a question of some years...

Eli looked at the bungalow in front of him, stunned in place, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The gray-red brick walls full of cracks were crawling with moss and vines, not to mention how the glass of each window had been torn down, and he was stunned that there was no one left.

The last nobleman who lived here was in debt and exchanged everything for money?

"Young master, this thing is pretty broken."

Emma said, gesturing to the building in front of her.

“...... I see it.

Eli rubbed his temples and turned his head to see that Chizuru had rolled up his cuffs at some point, and by the way, he took out a strip of cloth to cover his mouth and nose, obviously planning to get to work.

"I'm going to live here in the future, so instead of complaining now, I should do something."

Chizuru raised her hand, and the crimson magic gradually converged in the palm of her hand.

"Enchantment. Kill with life.

As her voice fell, an eggshell-like gray film enveloped the entire building in an instant.

Immediately, the dark green plants that adhered to the surface of the wall were crushed into dust by an invisible force.

Eli looked up and saw rats and bugs flying out of the house.

And when they touched the film, they all disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Good work, be rewarded!"

Seeing this, Emma couldn't help but applaud again and again.

"Where did you learn these words... Also, that's not what the name of this enchantment sounds like..."

Eli scratched his head, and after a moment's hesitation, he was still going to contact some people to clean the house.

After all, this workload is really difficult for them to come.

However, Chizuru grabbed his sleeve first, and Eli turned his head to find that the other party was looking at him with a determined expression.

If Chizuru could open her eyes, her pupils would be full of burning brilliance.

"That's... Chizuru-san?

It was the first time Eli had seen that look on Chizuru's face.

"We still have to come to our own home, young master."

Chizuru said solemnly.

"Chizuru is right, then you guys do it first, I'll go buy you some food and come back, and then cheer you two up."

Emma turned around and tried to run away, but Eli grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back.

"This is also your home, give me honest work."

With that, the two dragged Emma towards the room.

Even though Emma's legs were kicking like rabbits, they had no intention of letting go.

"Don't drag, don't drag! It's going to run out! I'm going to run out! "
