Following Privia’s guidance, Philip sat down in a chair.

“Close your eyes and relax. Entering other people’s dreams is originally the exclusive property of higher races, and it is difficult for humans. It’s just that your mental strength is strong and that child’s mentality is unstable, so there should be no problem.”

“… All right.”

‘I’ve seen some kind of hypnosis treatment.’

Taking a slow, deep breath, Philip stopped everything except breathing.

As she entered a state of almost complete exhaustion, she could feel Tania’s breathing and heartbeat on her lap, and even the movement of her internal organs.

Soon, my consciousness became blurred, and a blurry image began to form in my vision, which was only dark.

It was a dark, desolate landscape. Philip soon realized that he was floating in midair.

I saw a kitten chained in a messy, narrow prison. His hair was sparse, and his whole body was covered with scars.

‘That’s Tania.’

It felt like being a ghost. Philip took a closer look at Tania.

‘I was very frightened. What are they afraid of?’

It soon became clear what she was afraid of. Regular footsteps were getting closer and closer from the hallway outside the prison.

“… mom… aunt.”

A weak, fearful voice was heard before the prison door opened.

Three people entered: a cold-blooded assassin, a man who appeared to be a high-ranking aristocrat, and a man in a robe of unknown gender.

They talked while looking at Tania, who was standing upright.

“… Have you become more compliant now?”

“I am still rebellious, but within a year my mind will be broken.”

The assassin answered the nobleman’s question.

“Do I have to go through such a troublesome process? Wouldn’t it be okay to torture her in moderation to raise her obedience? It doesn’t seem like you need to break your personality and brainwash it again.”

“The ability of the Black Myo tribe is too dangerous to be clumsily subdued. Other fools can’t fool the count’s senses, but this woman’s blood runs thick in her veins. If you don’t thoroughly crush your mind, one day you will become a great threat.”

At that, the aristocrat laughed.

“Well, that would be unavoidable. Is there anything else I can do but trust you?”

“… If you leave it to me, I will definitely take care of it. Count Earlroy.”

As soon as the title Earl of Earlroy came out of the assassin’s mouth, Philip held his breath. It was dark, so I couldn’t see the face properly, but it was similar to the blurhan alloy.

‘That bastard.’

Of course, this place was in Tania’s dream, so he was not caught.

“Then let’s begin.”

A figure in a robe, who stood silently at the direction of the aristocrat, Earl of Alloy, took off the hood that covered his face. Seeing that face, Philip felt an empty smile come out.

‘It’s Stella, the chieftain of the Black Cat tribe.’

They had the same jet-black hair and slightly sharp features. However, it was a little different from the impression he remembered, but he had a sadistic smile that gave goosebumps.

Soon the prison door was opened. The woman with Stella’s face approached Tania with a whip at her waist.

“… no. that’s not my aunt My aunt doesn’t do that to me!”

Tania, whose reason seemed a bit unstable already, shouted in a frightened voice. But the woman raised the whip without saying a word.

‘With that, you hit that little kid?’

It was something that could not have happened with Philip’s common sense. He struggled to move his body, but in the first place his body had no shape here.

‘Don’t be crazy.’

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t just sit there and watch it.

“How many do you usually last?”

Count Earlroy asked.

“At first, I lasted about five generations. These days, they seem to lose their minds when they face each other.”

the assassin answered. No one here felt guilty. Philip tried to close his eyes, but he couldn’t free himself.

In this space, he was thoroughly a bystander.

‘Ah, damn it.’

It was the moment when the woman was about to strike the whip.

Philip felt his head explode with fury, and then stretched out his arm and strangled the woman. He could become aware of his own body. I felt the slender neck being held in my hand, and the sensation of standing on the ground.

Before thinking of checking what had happened, the first thing that came to mind was that he wanted to do something about the people in front of him, so Philip grabbed the woman by the neck, lifted her up, and slammed her on the floor.

“aaagh!”

The woman screamed, but her face sank and all she could do was moan.

“… dad?”

Tania widened her eyes.

“Because they are like monster babies… … .”

Philip gritted his teeth and growled. How on earth could a human who ate be able to torture an innocent child?

“You just wait. I will kill you unconditionally.”

However, the monsters remained frozen as they glared at Philip, who suddenly appeared as if he had pressed the pause button.

Soon the prison background shattered like a glass mirror. Tania’s short dream had come to an end. Phillip closed his eyes, feeling his consciousness fade.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Privia’s face. She was staring at Philip, grinning at what was interesting.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen meddling in someone else’s dream. You bastard, didn’t you actually live for 400 years?”

“… What do you mean?”

“Being aware of oneself in a dream with one’s owner is not because one’s ego is usually strong. That aside, what did you see?”

Philip roughly explained the context and the information he had found out in Tania’s dream. It was information that could not be easily revealed to others, but it didn’t matter too much if Freevia knew.

“… That Earl of Earlroy was involved with the Crescent? Doesn’t that mean it’s also related to demons? According to what you said, this kid was originally destined to become the hidden sword of the Count.”

“I guess so. I still don’t know what he was trying to do with that knife. But now I think I know what to do. I don’t want to see Earl Earl Roy’s face in my life.”

At that declaration, Freevia felt her heart flutter. She didn’t show it, but she was living these days for the fun of watching Philip’s progress.

There hadn’t been a major incident in the academy for over a hundred years.

“First of all, we will take a political response. We’ll have to get help from the Marquis of the North first. Because of his personality, he will contact me soon. And since it seems like it’s time for the Black Miao to work, I’m thinking of entrusting them with some work.”

Freevia nodded with a satisfied expression.

‘I won’t be bored for a while.’

“But why doesn’t Tania wake up? Is there any problem somewhere?”

“Why? Because you showed up, the brain was overloaded. It’s only natural that you forcibly stuffed information that wasn’t originally there. I’ll wake up after a day’s sleep, so don’t worry.”

“… That’s good.”

Phillip let out a sigh of relief. After experiencing, at least indirectly, what kind of life Tania had been in the past, I thought I should do better.

Back at the villa, Philip was soon visited by Hayley Baroun and Janis Murella.

“… We met nearby. He said he was going to the instructor’s house, so he said he would follow him. I just had something I wanted to say.”

Janice said that and sipped tea with honey.

“I came to ask for my father’s message and for my personal apology. Instructor.”

Hailey Baroun didn’t even sit down on the parlor sofa and leaned deeply toward Philip.

“I sincerely apologize for causing damage to the instructor due to my disrespectful behavior. Fortunately, my father said he would come forward to correct my mistake.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong. Wasn’t Bluhan Alloy the first to argue?”

When Phillip asked, Haley shook her head.

“no. Regardless of the outcome, it is entirely my fault that my actions have gotten other people into trouble.”

Despite being from the same Marquis family, the level of home education was different. Philip felt that he had respect for the Marquis of Baroun, who raised the 14-year-old boy so rightly.

That was only possible if parents set an example.

“Originally, people in my family do not discuss the fight that has ended, but this time, as an exception, I plan to make a formal complaint to the Allroy family. Before they blame Instructor for beating Bluhan, they will have to explain the persecution of me, the heir of the family.”

Johnny, who was listening to the story, raised his hand.

“I came for that too. dad… Rather, my father said he would stand by the Oswald family in this conflict as a reward for what the instructor saved me the other day.”

Phillip was rather suspicious when things went so easily.

If a Marquis family and the Marquess of Murella, who had great influence in the world of magic, helped him, this kind of conflict could have ceased to exist.

“If you do that, I would really appreciate it.”

When Phillip nodded, Janice clenched her fists and showed no signs of liking.

“Once I know. Now that you’ve come here, go play with Lua. If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

After sending Janis and Hayley to Lua’s room, Philip left the villa himself. It was to find Yusef Sanghoe.

“Ah, Gongja. For what?”

The store staff welcomed Philip.

“I’m here to see Blatt, the warehouse keeper.”

“Blatt is probably in Warehouse 2. Wait a little bit and I will call you.”

“No, I will go myself.”

Philip headed to warehouse number 2 of the store. Originally, the warehouse was a place where outsiders as well as employees with higher qualifications were prohibited from entering, but Philip was an exception.

“It is an honor that my benefactor found me. Do you have any orders to give?”

The warehouse keeper, Blatt, was a black-haired man in his 30s, of the Black Cat tribe.

“I have something to investigate. The target is Earl Roy. What I want to get is evidence or witnesses of their cooperation with the Crescent.”

The Black Myo tribe, which was hit hard by the last incident, was transforming into Philip’s personal information organization with the support of Philip and Youssef.

It was still before being reborn as a formal organization, but simple information collection could help.

“… We will do our best to help. benefactor.”

Warehouse keeper Blatt replied with a firm expression. He was prepared to risk even a little bit of sacrifice for Philip, who had opened up a way for the Black Myo to survive and provided all kinds of support.

“If you think you noticed it, please stop all activities immediately and report it to me. And if you need anything to carry out your mission, you can request it from Youssef Corporation.”

After adding a few words of explanation, Philip left.
