Chapter 241: Revealing the Traitor

“You, again! Damn it! Why do you keep butting in? While we may collaborate with you, it doesn’t mean you can meddle in our business.”

That guy is the one who, since yesterday, has been very much against anything I say and I’ve run out of patience.

“Damn, you old fat fucker you can shut up and let me talk! Fuck, I’ve seen pigs more polite than you.”

I was pissed about almost dying last night so I said what I wanted to say.

“What did you say, girl? Don’t get smart with me.”

“Damn, I’m not afraid of you, you buttery old shit! Who probably has his charge for being a nobleman.”

He did not give me the impression of being powerful or intelligent. Most of the battle last night he was at Philip’s side, giving some half decent orders part of the troops. I saw more than once how Philips had to step in to correct things he had screwed up.

“I’m in a really bad mood. A fucking assassin came to my bed and almost killed me, so you greasy old man, don’t touch a nerve with me, for fuck’s sake. “

I don’t much care to speak my mind. First of all, from what my original self has planned after finding the possible whereabouts of my little platinum volleyball, right now it doesn’t look like what I’m doing is going to be very useful.

So it doesn’t matter much if I fail, and in this realm I have nothing to fall back on but my fake background and skills, so I have to be forceful.

Having just one ally sabotaging us would slow us down and make this whole thing pointless, and I wouldn’t be able to help with my plan which I don’t know how useful I am now.

plus it bothers me that right now my original self is enjoying it with that dangerous, beautiful, gigantic demoness Akihara.

’And here I am almost dying and arguing with a fat greasy, damn it!

I’m so envious, ’

I’m really pissed off so I’m not going to bother with the consequences and say whatever I want. although I wanted to continue, because it’s a good experience.

“Wait! Both of you, calm down. General Tristan, calm down. Let’s hear what she has to say first…. Miss Elira, could you explain, starting with that killer thing?”

“Well, there’s nothing to say. Look for yourselves.”

Saying that, I pulled out the headless body and showed it .

“wait, that’s a human”

“not only that it still has a residual aura, it had ascended at least 7 times before it died”

“you’re telling me that this girl of only four ascensions, was able to kill one of seven”

“after all, families, occult are not a game, we should be more careful how we treat it”

“wait, it’s a human, this could be a… ”

I heard several murmurs about me and the corpse, since it was obviously a human.

“Well, as you can see, it’s a human. And before anyone comes out with the nonsense that I killed one of their own, I’ll just say fuck you senile old men.”

“”””….”””””

Perhaps the shock of killing someone much stronger than me left them thoughtful and calmer, they said nothing even when I insulted them.

“plus it would make them the suspects Because, as I said, if there was no mistake in the runes, it’s possible that someone set it up. specifically, one of you.”

I’m not going to beat around the bush or act like Sherlock Holmes, I won’t look for purposes or causes. I’ll get straight to the point of what I think the suspect is.

If I fail, I fail. To hell with it all. The good thing about being a doppelganger is that I’m not afraid to die.

“Now then, why did you send an assassin and collaborate with the demons?”

Without further qualms, I had no doubt that in the end it was the same person for both cases, so I pointed and looked at the safest suspect: the one who wanted to hide her surprise last night.

“Nonsense.”

“This girl is just saying random things!”

“She’s one of our veterans and who earned her place with honor.”

“I could accept that it was Tristan, but she? girl, tell a more convincing lie.”

Some generals, after remaining silent to everything I said, did not seem to stand it any longer and some voices were raised in their defense as soon as I pointed out who I thought was the culprit.

And I was not surprised. The truth is that I would have also wanted it to be that pig who has the name of my former bodyguard and now father as Chris, but unfortunately, it was the woman who looked like a mature woman, a little older and the one who more than once supported me to talk, I think her name was Paola or something like that.

Also, from what I saw, she if was an important asset and an excellent general, as well as a mage known for climbing to her position from the lowest, being only the daughter of a normal knight, if it wasn’t for my skills, I would never suspect her.

which made me angry, since she had a serious but friendly face and even seemed popular among the other generals who defended her, even those who before had a neutral and even positive opinion, now complained about my words, which made me angrier.

“You, even, if you’re from a powerful family, you can’t go around throwing nonsense around.”

“Fuck!!, all you decrepit old , who only know how to talk shit! Let me finish talking, for God’s sake, or I swear that when my grandfather arrives, things won’t end with just the demonic realm!”

“Is that a threat.”

“Fuck! Yes, you pieces of shit, now shut up and listen, enough of this nonsense. Don’t think much of yourselves Just because you’re generals, and you have power and glory from a little kingdom in one corner of this world.”

“””….””””

Now if I’m going to speak my mind, one mind if it ends with me dying, it’s not worth working with people with such a stubborn mentality

” I’m going to say it just once, don’t be idiots, and if you don’t believe me, just take out a fucking contract, fix the terms so I can only tell the truth, and then interject it. They can’t think of that many, or their kingdom is so retarded they don’t even have a contract that powerful. If not, I’ll lend them one of mine.”

I said, but I forgot that I didn’t have a contract handy right now, unlike when they assigned the tasks to number two. We didn’t think that far ahead when we parted ways.

But well, these guys who think their kingdom and the surrounding area is the whole world, they have more pride than they should.

So my provocation and words were enough to anger the others, except for Philip, who remained calmer and seemed to think about it for a moment.

“Okay, calm down, everyone. What he said makes sense. Whether what he said is nonsense or not, we’ll find out.”

“Are you really going to believe an outsider?”

“No, but it’s to rid us of doubt. I know some of you are thinking seriously about this now, since you know that my son and the prince are not the only ones who were taken.”

“””…”””

“but, if we don’t get, nothing out of her, the next one will be you Miss Elira”

“alright”

Apparently there was a known reason for the possible betrayal of the general, who remained impassive and calm at all times.

The fact that they didn’t totally trust her and didn’t discredit me, even with everything I told them, meant that they were thinking clearly, which relieved some of my anger.

“Now then, Ms. Paola, do you have anything to say before we interrogate you under the effects of the contract?”

“Haaah~... I guess I’m old enough for this sort of thing. My poor grandson, your grandmother failed.”

“”””….””””

At the woman’s words, everyone was stunned and murmurs spread even before she finished speaking, I wonder if it’s some kind of custom of this kingdom or something.

But from what I heard apparently among the supposed attendants and others who were kidnapped, was the grandson of that old woman.

There was nothing about this in the report, so I don’t know if he’s alive or not, but if the demons used her, it means that, even if they were able to trick her, by this point they know they killed the prince of the other kingdom with no chance of a peaceful resolution and are using these kinds of methods with the hostages still alive.

It makes me wonder if it was just bad luck or was there a reason, why the prince died before even the rest of the hostages, could reveal his identity, mainly the general’s son, Philips, who definitely knew who he was

“There’s no need for that contract. Everything that girl said is true. I was the one who set up extra circles so that the barriers would fail, and the one who sent an assassin…. Haah… I don’t understand how it failed.”

The old woman didn’t resist or anything, and said that it was all her fault. That her family had nothing to do with it, and she wanted all charges to fall on her.

as a general, with many accomplishments, even if she was a traitor, she would be met with at least this. Although she would definitely be sent to the gallows.

I wonder why these practices are so widespread, even in the kingdom.

Well, now that this was resolved, although it’s a shame about that woman, I had to continue with what I was doing.

The good thing is, from that point on, knowing everyone what I am capable of doing, and my words gained a little more strength.
