Chapter 163
Black
Acad stroked his chin and asked.
"Regent Ferda, didn't you say you buried that corpse? By now the body would have decayed, so would there be any clues to obtainable to obtain any leads from that corpse?"
Naturally, countermeasures for that had been prepared.
"I did bury Young Master Urey's corpse, but it has been preserved in its original state since that time."
"Why did you put preservation magic on it?"
Е̂ ṅ ũ m̈ а.
"No matter how much he insulted my fiancée, he was still a precious child of some country."
Ferda spoke as if to say he wasn't that much of a fool.

In reality, if Duke Urey hadn't been used as a strategic card here, he had intended to return the body to his embrace.
"If you investigate, you will be able to sufficiently ascertain the source......"
He paused for a beat and continued.
"Through this incident, we will be able to discover the true enemy hiding in the shadows."
W̌ e b́ n̊ о v́е l̊ Еnuma
"What do you mean by true enemy?"
He throws the bait.
"The identity of the existence that brings chaos to the Empire in order to drive this continent to ruin."
Ferda said we shouldn't fight among ourselves but should target the true enemy.

Surprisingly, the first to agree with Ferda's proposal was Erdes.
"Then that works. If we just confirm who killed him, there's no need to make things complicated, right?"
Êń ú m̀ȧ. і̇d̃
That way the story would flow easily, and above all, since it dealt with black magic, she couldn't help but be proactive.
"I agree as well. If it's not Regent Ferda who murdered him, and if we can find out the identity, then they deserve to face the wrath of the Great Alte."
Joseph Faust also actively supported Ferda's proposal.
"Then who should we entrust this autopsy to......"
At Acad's muttering, Ferda quickly replied.
"I would like Bishop Joseph Faust to perform the autopsy."

"What?"
Erdes's brow furrowed.
"If it's about black magic, shouldn't the person who naturally has to handle it be me?"
Everyone in the world knows how much she hates black magic.
And her skill regarding it is outstanding precisely because she hates it that much.
The designated Joseph Faust also acknowledged that fact.

"I also think that would be better, but...... is there a specific reason you chose me?"
"It's a matter of transparency. We cannot expect transparency from the Association President's investigation."

He claimed that since Ferda and Erdes were on bad terms, a biased result could come out.
That statement grated on Erdes's nerves.
"Are you saying I'd frame you, you bastard?"
When she asked with a fierce expression, Ferda answered like this.
Е̌ n̈ um a
"If severing the father-son bond wasn't enough, I'll gladly entrust it to you."
Ferda glared at her.
Even though he hated the father who abandoned him, it wasn't as much as Erdes who made him that way.
Acad, positioned in the middle, concluded as chairman.

"Since both sides seem to have business with each other...... This matter seems suitable for Bishop Joseph Faust. Bishop, can you do it?"
"I will conduct a fair and impartial investigation following the Light of Alte."
W еb̄n о̃ v́ e̊ l Е̃n um̃ӑ
Erdes's hatred for black magic was certainly strong, but she had no mercy, so public sentiment toward her wasn't good.
Erdes stared at Ferda's face with a dissatisfied expression.
They recessed for 2 hours for the corpse investigation.
Joseph moved to transport Marcus's body with his attendants.
"I will follow along."
Consillus said that and moved together with Joseph.

He had to monitor whether there was any intention to apply external pressure, or whether there was any manipulator.
"Do so."
Ferda permitted it.
As he expected, everything would be revealed through this investigation.
He doesn't let his guard down until the end.
"Hey."
Е̃n̂ǔṁа̇ .і̌ d
At the sound of a young voice growling, he lifts his head.
Erdes Roton.

She climbed onto the desk and crouched like a thug.
"Do I look easy to you?"
Anger burned in her eyes.
"Or do you think I can't touch you because your backing is solid? Which one is it? Huh? Huh? Hey, answer me."
Е̇ n̈ ũ m̂а́
"Association President-nim, you shouldn't do this here......"
"Small fries, get lost. Not in the mood to play."
Erdes's face, veins bulging from the heap of insults.
Ferda didn't take his eyes off that face.

"There is a justifiable reason."
"You're worried I'll fabricate evidence and send you to the abyss? If I wanted to do that, I could have done it anytime. I wouldn't have even come to a place like this. Do I look like a stupid pushover idiot?"
W̌.е_b̃n̂ о̇v̌ еl Е ň umа̀
As Erdes said, she could send Ferda to the abyss anytime.
If she exposed and pressured him, she could socially kill him by saying he used black magic.
However, it was different from the direction Erdes pursued.
The reason she hadn't properly touched Ferda until now was because no contact point with demons was visible.
The hatred dwelling in her heart prioritized demons above all.
That meant if she could catch that demon, she could fairly judge even Ferda's case.

"So it can't be done."
Ferda hadn't expected that kind of fairness from the start.
"As long as you're here, those rat bastards won't be able to approach."
Because this is bait released to catch a big fish.
Ferda spoke with his eyes.
That there are existences he also hates and cannot forgive, no less than you.
Е n̊ um̀ а̊ . і d̊
Erdes, who had been glaring as if to kill Ferda, said this.
"Fine."

Her fierce expression didn't loosen, but she quietly got down from the desk.
"I hope a convincing result comes out."
Otherwise I won't stay still.
Her glancing back view seemed to leave those words.
Ẇ е̊ bň о̌ v̆ еl _Е̌ n̆ u m а̀
Hoping for a good result was the same for Ferda.
Just, it was questionable whether that good result was hoping for the same thing.
2 hours later, Joseph returned again.
Consillus, who had gone with him, also returned, but his expression was subtle.

Ferda asked him.
"How is it?"
È n ŭ m̈а
"It seems something was discovered, but my hunch is bad."
Has the bite come?
Acad declared the session open, and Joseph recited the organized data.
"The autopsy of Young Master Marcus Urey's corpse is complete. Young Master Marcus Urey was murdered, and the means was indeed black magic."
His face sank as if troubled.
Is this sensation, which I've felt once before, called déjà vu?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That déjà vu, of all things, a story of a distant future that won't be realized.
"And by tracing that magic, we've become able to identify the person who used it......"
It was when Ferda was designated as the Empire's enemy for an absurd reason.
"That magic was created in the Valdrova Grand Duchy Castle, and it is certain that Regent Ferda Valdrova used it."
The audience chamber completely flipped.
"Is it true the Regent committed murder?!"
Е n̆u mа
"More than that, if it's certain the Regent used magic...... doesn't that mean the claim he's a black mage is true?"
"He killed him himself, and while being a black mage, he holds his head up so shamelessly?!"

The audience fallen into a crucible of shock.
Duke Urey's face turned bright red.
He shouted emotionally.
"You damn devil bastard! How dare you kill my son!!"
Eǹ ǔm̀а́
Riding on that, Alexander also shouted.
"What are the security officers doing? Arrest that black mage right now!"
At the Crown Prince's shout, the security officers hesitated and moved toward Ferda.
Unable to watch, Consillus rose from his seat.

"Who dares lay a hand on the Grand Duke's fiancé!!"
Spirit unbelievable for an old man who'd aged considerably.
Е̇nu m̈ а́ . i d̂.
The situation had become a total mess.
It was heightened to the point where if anyone threw a punch, it would turn into a brawl.
Ferda, standing at the center of that storm, ironically felt tranquility.
Rather than rational, emotion-hiding, roundabout conversations, this place where the emotions of dozens, hundreds of people are agitated felt much more comfortable.
Space gathers in Ferda's palm, and sharp insight dwells in his two eyes.
Illuminating everything clearly, he examined their inner thoughts one by one.

Where is it.
The black stain hiding on this gray floor.
"Step back, Count Consillus!"
"If you bastards insist on seeing blood, you'll have to deal with this old man...... Cough......"
Consillus, who had been straining his neck, suddenly vomited a cough.
Ferda's concentration broke along with it.
Е ňùm а̂
"Count, what's wrong?"
"Cough, cough......!"

Consillus's cough wouldn't stop.
His body swayed, then he turned his gaze toward Ferda.
"Keuhuk!"
With a rough sound, he spewed something onto Ferda's clothes.
Е nu̇m̄а.
Bright red blood.
"Uueek......"
He vomited blood, and the heated atmosphere hit the brakes.
Ferda took out a black handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his mouth, and asked.

"Count, are you okay?"
"Cough, cough...... Heuk...... Heuk......"
Е̄ n u m̄ a
Consillus grimaced one eye with difficulty.
Amidst that bewildering scene unfolding, someone shouted.
"Th-that, it's an epidemic! Count Consillus has caught an epidemic!"
That one word seized the confused audience's attention.
"Epidemic?!"
"Are we going to die too?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Whether it was truly an epidemic wasn't important.
The fear that one word created was becoming an epidemic and spreading through the audience chamber.
The security officers who had been approaching hesitantly also retreated from their spots, and someone fired the first shot.
"Everyone get out of here!"
"The epidemic spreads! We'll die!"
With that one word, the fierce atmosphere flowed in a different direction and became chaos.
Ѐnūm̂_ӓ
"Silence! Everyone keep your seats!"
Acad tried to calm the confusion, but in a situation where their own lives were at stake, there was no one who would hear those words.

As the uncontrollable situation continued and a forced recess was about to proceed unavoidably, it happened.
"Purification!!"
One man's voice seized the audience chamber.
All people's voices subsided, and they regained their reason.
W̄ еb̈ n o̊ vе̃ l Е n u m̀ а̂
It was Valdemar, sitting in the highest councilor seat.
Valdemar didn't say more than that.
In the calmed atmosphere, Acad opened his mouth.
"We will proceed again. We will have the priests check why Count Consillus vomited blood, and confirm whether it's an epidemic."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Acad sighed as if it couldn't be helped and said.
"Therefore, we will recess for 2 hours again. During that time, please do not leave the assembly hall for quarantine and keep your seats. Count Consillus and Regent Ferda, please receive diagnosis from the priests. That is all."
Ё ň ù ṁ а̃
The audience offered prayers to god with the worry that they might die in their hearts.
Ferda, seeing from close up, knew for certain.
What made him vomit blood was not an epidemic.
'Aura Reflux.'
It was a side effect where the aura inside his body flowed backward and came out.
Aura is the energy of life, and when that life energy reverses, it's painful enough to die.

When angry, blood pressure rises, but aura doesn't reflux.
'It's impossible unless done deliberately.'
Then why?
'To change the atmosphere.'
He cut off the momentum pushing him as a black mage, froze it with the name 'epidemic', and bought time.
'Without even discussing any plan, to do something like this......'

Ferda didn't drag Consillus into this.
It's not that he doesn't trust him.

He just judged there was nothing good about getting entangled.
But thanks to his bold action, Ferda's work became even smoother.
That's why he wiped his mouth with the black handkerchief.
"Count Consillus."
Е̃ň.üm̄ a
He quietly asked him while his consciousness hadn't cut off.
"Who went in to autopsy the young master's corpse?"
Consillus made a pained sound and answered.
"Many people...... flocked in."

"When examining, who went in? Did you also go inside to observe?"
He said painfully.
Еn̂.ŭmа
"Couldn't...... only one person went in......"
"I see. Thank you."
While carefully wiping his mouth, someone politely spoke to Ferda.
"We are the Alte Relief Corps. We will transport Count Consillus. Regent-nim, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I can move on my own two legs, so I'll follow along."
Ferda stepped back from his seat, and Consillus was lifted onto the vehicle like a powerless old man.

There were many people on the Relief Corps side, so the place was bustling.
In the process, someone from the Relief Corps tapped Ferda's shoulder.
Thinking it was a mistake from being busy, he tried to brush it off lightly.
"Gem and Swallow."
It wasn't.
A Black Bandana member who responded to the signal of Ferda taking out the black handkerchief.
Ẅ е b ṅ о̇vе l̇ Е n̈.û_m̆ а̃
While preparing transport, he lent his ear to Ferda's words.
"Black is......"

From the moment Ferda was revealed as the murderer, he concentrated to the maximum, scanning everyone and watching reactions.
In his panoramic view, he verified several times, and now he got a certain answer from Consillus too.
Ferda whispered in his ear.
"Black is Joseph Faust."
