Chapter 95: Retrieve the Dragon’s Children ④

Translated by AmaLynne

「Yes! Albert! We have Albert with us! Do you think you can live with the most powerful wizard in the kingdom against you?」

The reason she can be so confident and puffed out of her chest even though she is the only one standing is probably that she is relying on Albert, the strongest force in the kingdom.

But that is already in the past.

There is not even a speck of dust left of Albert Frege, once the most powerful wizard in the kingdom.

「……Well, it’s no wonder you don’t know. You know what, Auntie? There is no more Albert.」

「What? What are you talking about?」

「I killed him earlier.」

Hearing Sam’s words, the Marquess began to laugh in a high-pitched voice.

「Pfft, pfft, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! What nonsense! A kid like you killed Albert? Who would believe such nonsense?」

The Marquess doesn’t seem to have the slightest idea that Sam, who is still a minor, has won over Albert.

As for Sam, he has no intention of explaining himself politely.

In the meantime, Sam asked her if she was involved in illegal trafficking, but from her response, she was black.

The rest of the interrogation can be done by the state.

(It’s too much trouble, so let’s shut her up. If we let her make too much noise as she likes, the irritated red dragon is likely to lose her temper.)

Although the red dragon was not moving selfishly to rescue the child, Marques’s behavior and high-pitched voice deepened the crease between her eyebrows.

She probably doesn’t think well of being needlessly stranded when she has a good grasp of the child’s whereabouts.

Sam doesn’t want her to get any more irritated and burst out.

Sam sighs and tries to silence her with his fist.

「My lady, I think it’s about time you noticed me.」

Then Günther intervened between Sam and Marquess.

「Hey, Günther.」

「Well, I got it.」

.

「What? Günther? No way.」

The Marquess looked straight at him as if Günther’s name was familiar.

The next moment, Marquess’s complexion turned blue.

「―――A-Are you Günther Ignaz? The troubled son of a duke and a court wizard? Why that Günther?」

「I’m not happy about being treated like a problem child, but let’s just leave it at that for now. Well, my dear lady, if you ask me why, there is only one answer. As a court wizard, I am here by order of His Majesty the King to crack down on the rascals.」

「His Majesty’s orders? Where’s Albert? What was Albert doing?」

「Don’t you know, lady? He was in a duel today.」

At Günther’s question, Marquess huffed.

「Y-Yes. Albert was in a duel with a child in the care of the Earl and Countess Walker.」

「The duel was with him, Samuel Scheidt.」

「What? You’re lying? Then, really?」

「Albert Frege is dead. A very unbecoming end for a wizard of the court.」

「…………」

「Now that you understand that Albert is dead, what are you going to do about it? Do you think the fallen soldier will wake up and fight me, the court wizard, and Sam, who has the most powerful seat? Let me tell you, in that case, I won’t guarantee your life.」

The Marquess kneeled on the spot.

「I-I surrender, don’t kill me! It’s my husband and Albert who are to blame! I was just pretending not to see it!」

「Then will you testify in the proper place to the misdeeds of Marquis Gordon?」

「I-I will! So, just spare my life!」

「All right. Now, my lady, look outside the mansion. We are not the only ones who have received orders from His Majesty the King.」

She looked outside the mansion and saw the magic army and the knights there.

Needless to say, they had come to detain the Marquess and anyone else involved in the evil deed.

「Hey, Günther. You bought us some time, didn’t you?」

「I have to give credit to the magic army and the Knights. If we settle everything on our own, they’ll come after us later.」

「I don’t care about that.」

「I see you are like Ulrike in that way. She lacked that thing called consideration. Well, that’s what I like about her, and I cringe at the arrogant Ulrike.」

「I’ve had enough of you… Well, leave these ladies to the magic army, we’ll rescue the dragon children as soon as we can.」

「―――Finally.」

「Sorry to keep you waiting.」

「It’s a pain in the ass with humans. Why don’t just burn them all down?」

The read dragon frowns disapprovingly.

One can only be thankful that she suppressed her desire to save her child and showed understanding for the actions of the human side.

「This time, no matter who comes out now, force our way through! Let’s go!」

「Oh, no argument!」

The three of them head in a straight line to a building at the back of the compound.

And in the basement of that building, they found the dragon child in chains.
