My Childhood Friends Who I Thought Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

18. What. That perverted answer

Chapter 18. What. That perverted answer

After preparing Cecilia’s dinner and putting Chloe to sleep.

Tale walked straight to the monastery entrance.

Fortunately, all the workers seemed to have gone to sleep, and there was no one near the entrance, leaving only silence.

‘A brief visit would be fine.’

Since 1:00 is in a hurry right now, Teil left the monastery slowly, considering that he would be scolded if caught later.

There was a quiet darkness in the street where I walked out of the alley.

Tails continued his thoughts as he walked slowly.

He estimated that there were a total of two reasons why Cecilia was broken in the original work.

‘The first was inspired by Chloe’s words and Cecilia’s words.’

His brother’s absence and death.

But Tail was convinced.

Only this would have saved Cecilia’s personality from collapsing.

No matter how sad the loss of her son was, she must have tried to raise Cecilia somehow after seeing Madame Duvir for a moment.

However, in the original work, the wife could not do that.

‘Because of the second reason.’

Her father’s death.

It was because the Marquis of Duvir would soon die on the battlefield.

* * *

The Marquis of Duvir.

There is not much information about him.

But I definitely remembered this.

“Ah…. Looking at it, Cecilia seems a bit pitiful.”

It was because of what Yerin said.

“My father died at the hands of a close friend who was a spy in the war. But even with that spy, Cecilia was very close, so I think she was so shocked after that that she closed the door on her heart.”

At that time, he was only half-hearted, and he clicked his tongue, asking why he betrayed when the Belinus Empire would have won anyway.

To her own words, Yerin answered by slightly rolling her eyes.

“Because right before he was executed, his colleague said that his son was a prisoner of war in an enemy country, isn’t it because of his son?”

Recalling the conversation with Yerin, Tails sighed briefly.

‘I’m almost done with the hints.’

She couldn’t even make Cecilia crooked this time.

Of course, there was her coin drop, but other things also bothered me.

It was because the image of that tender child trembling and crying at that time was still vivid in my eyes.

I don’t know if it’s sympathy or pity, but what’s certain is that I didn’t want to see such a small child cry as hard as he could.

‘So I’ll block it somehow.’

In the meantime, Tail stopped walking.

From noble mtl dot com.

She saw a familiar sign in front of her eyes.

[King Wangjjang BAR]

Tayl looked at the signboard and murmured softly.

“Ha. Change the real signboard name.”

Tail clicked his tongue and descended into the basement.

* * *

Tail reached the farthest part of the bar, a room filled with dim orange light.

When I opened the door, I saw a person sitting inside the bar.

“Khan. I’m here.”

“Yes. You came sooner than expected. The investigation into the Marquis of Duvir is over.”

Come to think of it, it was interesting.

How long has it been since you requested it, and the investigation is over in such a short amount of time?

‘As expected, the information guild that will later become the number 1 in the empire.’

Tale was genuinely impressed.

“The data is on the table on the left.”

At Khan’s words, Tail smiled and walked to the table.

Right before Tail opened the report, ‘All About the Marquis of Duvir,’ Khan hurriedly added his words.

“It was quite difficult this time, so I will take extra money.”

Tayl laughed at Khan’s words.

“Hey. Don’t you say that before the request?”

“….”

Khan was silent at Tail’s words.

Because that was the right thing to say.

Seeing Khan like that, Tail laughed and said.

“I’ll read it first and judge it.”

Tale immediately opened the report.

The information about the Marquis of Duvir was very detailed.

It starts with age, height, weight, relationships with people, personality, and wealth.

‘Wow. I really recognized them all.’

At that time, Khan’s mouth slowly opened.

“As you can see, the Belenus Empire is planning a secret mission this time, and the commander of the secret mission team is the Marquis of Duvir.”

“Wassi. Did you find out about that?”

Tail’s eyes widened in surprise.

“How did you find out?”

Why is this a secret mission?

Because it’s a ‘secret’.

But how did you know that?

There was pure surprise and curiosity in Tail’s eyes.

And Khan continued with difficulty.

“… It is a trade secret.”

At Khan’s words, Tail chuckled and clicked her tongue, then moved his gaze back to the report.

Perhaps the Marquis Duvir was killed on this secret mission.

‘If you listen to Cecilia, the Marquis is a very thorough and strict person.’

It was also written in the nature of the report here.

[The personality of crossing a stone bridge after tapping it. Careful, sensitive, and has strong perfectionist tendencies]

But that kind of person was betrayed?

It was strange.

However, if I were to say it again, it would mean that I had a close relationship with him so deep that I wouldn’t even think of betraying him.

‘It was good.’

Tail turned over the report and looked at the relationship between her character and the Marquis.

‘There are three hints in total.’

First.

Someone Cecilia knows and is close enough to not even think about betraying her.

Second.

A person with outstanding abilities enough to carry out secret missions together on the battlefield.

Last.

The one who went to war with her son.

Looking at it with those three pieces of information.

One person caught my eye.

‘I found it.’

I found a strong candidate to betray the Marquis of Duvir.

* * *

“A pretty good find.”

At Tail’s words, Khan briefly nodded his head.

“So what is the price?”

Khan made a bold request.

Certainly, Tails liked the information.

Tayl, realizing what Khan was thinking, let out a big smile.

“What do you want?”

Money?

Or jewelry?

Precious things?

Tail patiently waited for Khan to speak.

And Khan opened his mouth heavily.

“… Unfortunately, I haven’t thought about it.”

“I knew I would.”

It was natural for him to be a little plain-minded.

Tale said as he packed the report.

“Then….”

Tale spoke slowly.

“Let’s save one wish.”

Wish.

It’s an abstract word, and it felt like an abstract reward.

“It’s a wish….”

At Tail’s words, Khan let out a low voice.

“Why? No?”

“No.”

Khan answered quickly.

“What an unexpected answer. Do you like it.”

At Khan’s words, Tail wrinkled her face and made an expression of disgust.

“What? That perverted answer.”

“Noisy.”

“Then let’s go. I’ll be back next month.”

After answering that, Tail immediately left the master’s room.

After a while.

As silence came into the room, the bolts slid open.

And a little girl came out of the bolt.

Pure white silver hair and straight bangs.

Dark, thick black eyes.

It was Ennis, the current Demon King.

She looks like she’s in her teens, but she’s actually been over 3,000 years old.

Feeling bored with her eternal life, she recently came to the human world at the suggestion of a close friend and was enjoying herself.

The game of information guild master Khan.

At first, she didn’t like her, so she thought about turning it all upside down, but now she’s starting to enjoy it.

‘Especially that guy.’

She waited for Tails to come once a month.

She feels the aura she exudes but doesn’t mind.

If it was another guy, he would have bowed his head, but Tail, this guy was different from the beginning.

He was confident and unstoppable.

That’s why she called him by letter, probably wanting to see him one more time.

She muttered softly as she sat back on the sofa.

“It’s fun.”

I felt this thrill for the first time in thousands of years.

I saw that everyone enjoys playing because of these feelings.

Besides, today was even more special.

He told himself a wish in return.

Blinking slowly, she muttered in a low voice.

“It’s a wish….”

It was a cute word I hadn’t heard in a long time.

It’s not even a contract, it’s a wish.

“Huh.”

Ennis’ eyes filled with interest.

It was also fun.

That guy.

It was so interesting that I wanted to observe it every day by locking myself in a room and turning it into a doll.

“Zephyran. Leon.”

The name of the closest aide leaked from Ennis’ mouth.

At the same time, two men appeared in front of nothing.

Two men with beautiful looks and a dangerous atmosphere.

They prostrated themselves and opened their mouths at the same time.

“Did you call? You are the Demon King.”

“Did you call? You are the Demon King.”

There was no longer any vitality in her eyes as she looked at them.

It was just black and dark and had a cold aura.

“I have something to tell you.”

At Ennis’ words, the two bowed their heads even more.

“Keep an eye on Marquis Duvir, who is at the forefront of this empire.”

Ennis spoke her words in a tone as cold as frost.

“If his life is in danger, a little help is all right.”

This was just a service.

A service to this guy who started this guild and interested him.

Zephyran and Leon gave a short answer to her words.

“Okay.”

“I will do it.”

At the same time, the traces of the two disappeared.

As if it never existed in the first place.
