Chapter 302 - Shaikan’s Secret 3 (2/2)

When they heard Victor’s name, the chief who was silent on one side responded.

Although it hadn’t been long since he was made into a paladin, Victor was one of the men whom the pope closely trusted.

Known as a mercenary, he was considered as a thunder. He had experience and was a little old fashioned.

However, he was praised as a great example for all paladins. Arch Duke Gregory praised him for his sincerity, loyalty and hard work in the old age.

And a woman had come to visit that man who had been recognized by the pope and the Arch Duke?

‘Maybe she is his granddaughter?’

The guard thought about it and looked at the hood that was on Erwin’s face.

From what he knew, Sir Victor wasn’t the kind to enjoy the colors of life.

“Please wait.”

Delivering the information into the palace, he led Erwin to the room near the main gate.

Soon after, Victor appeared.

“It is Erwin! What are you doing here?” Asked Victor.

“There is something I really need to tell you.”

At the serious expression of Erwin, Victor toned down his excitement and asked in a low voice, “Is it related to the fairies?”

Erwin’s heart trembled after hearing Victor’s question.

The Fairy representatives had already taken action.

She thought that they wouldn’t act on it, but that wouldn’t be the case.

“By any chance, for the princess, sorry, the Holy Pope, did anything…?”

“Nothing of that sort. However, according to the schedule, I just delivered the letters as usual.”

‘But the fairy representatives aren’t like that…’

Maybe they immediately realized that they couldn’t deal with the pope’s forces.

No, they must have realized that stimulating her good-natured conscience and affection of Reina would be the right thing to do.

“Anything for the pope?”

“I wasn’t aware of it, but I intercepted the letter for the middle.”

Victor knew more about Reina than the fairies.

Moreover, because he knew what had happened in the past, he wasn’t the kind to trust the fairies ever again.

“You did good. The Spirit World shouldn’t be opened again. I don’t know if it will happen again in the future, but it should never be done.”

“What is the fairies’ intention?” Asked Victor.

“They are thinking about the revival of Abaron, the ancient Mado Empire.”

And with that, Erwin began to explain in detail what Abaron was like in the past and how the humans and fairies lived then.

Victor was shocked to learn about the past.

“Then the fairies will repay the persecution of the fairies by doing it to the humans after the resurrection of Abaron.”

“Yes, I don’t want the grudge to continue nor the blood-stained history, and I don’t want her Holiness to be caught in that.”

Listening to Erwin, Victor nodded nervously.

“But hiding forever won’t be possible. If their demands weren’t met, then they will turn more outspoken.”

“That is true. First, we need to speak to the Holiness and never listen to their words,” said Erwin.

“That one, this old man can persuade. But just one thing…”

“Is there anything else that is going on?”

“I am worried that the fairies will harm Lord Luke.”

Erwin too agreed with Victor’s point.

Reina agreed to open the door to the Spirit World in the past in order to comfort Luke.

If something happened to him again, Reina’s heart would once again shake.

“Of course, with Luke’s skill, it won’t be easy. But in this world, there are many things other than magic and swords that can threaten people.”

‘But, if the current situation gets known to the Baroque family, it will become troublesome.’

Luke had secretly participated in the civil war of another empire without the consent of Emperor Rudolf, and he even received a title and estate from that empire.

If fairies knew of the political problems between them, they were very likely to use it.

“Of course, the lord’s activity hasn’t yet been known to the fairies. There are good men with the Marquis, and their identity in the Holy Empire has been documented.”

However, there was no guarantee until when the secret was going to be kept.

The most pressing issue was how much did Luke even know about this.

“Did you inform Luke about the letter that came from the fairies?” Asked Erwin

“It hasn’t been disclosed yet. If news went from here, it would soon be revealed to the fairies that the identity of the hero of the Holy Empire, Lev, is the Marquis of Rakan.”.

Because of his experience, Victor was very cautious. He would never hurry into anything.

“Soon, there is going to be an inspection at the Albertville. I am going to share that news during the inspection time,” answered Victor.

“I see. That is okay, but I have a favor to ask.”

“A favor?”

“I need a new identity.”

Since she was being chased by the fairies, she couldn’t figure out how to carry on her next tasks.

Victor, who fully understood the circumstances of Erwin, nodded with a smile.

“Understood. That won’t be a problem for me.”

“Thank you.”

After having a conversation with Victor, Erwin felt a little relieved.

Though the problem wasn’t solved, she felt like a little weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
