Chapter 347 - Trap of the Fairies 1 (1/2)

The orders from Emperor Rudolf was as it is relayed to Luke.

It was because the officials of the Imperial Intelligence agency in the Nemesis were under Luke.

“What? He asked to spread the one about me learning dark magic, and that I joined hands with the warlocks secretly?”

“Yes, master. It was said that such rumors are already spreading in the capital and other areas. The Emperor is going to spread this rumor to other places too. The problem is that the rumor is quite plausible, and it is very interesting, so it will enter the ears and mouth of the people very frequently.”

At Belfair’s report, Luke thought that those who disliked him were the ones to spread it.

And there were many people in the Baroque Empire who hated him, including Marquis Mayers.

However, listening to the rumors, he couldn’t just laugh it off.

It sure was a story with a lot of questionable things. However, it contained the truth, which very few knew about.

‘A warlock who is with the dark moon… The Dark Moon magic tower.’

Whether a rumor or statement, it wasn’t fake.

There were a few lies and truth mixed into it.

So, if people realize there was one truth in it, they would begin to believe the entire rumor.

‘What kind of bastard would do this…?’

Luke managed to think up about someone who might have spread his secret out to the world.

It was important to identify who the loose mouth was. However, it was also important to understand how far the rumors had already spread.

“Do the retainers know?”

“They still aren’t aware of it. However, it is only a matter of time till they know.”

The officials of the Intelligence agency hadn’t followed the Emperor’s orders.

However, the rumors were so exciting and interesting that no one had to play their hand into making it spread.

“Uhm, this is annoying.”

Luke had put up the manor from rocks to the next level with his excellent skills and leadership.

The support from his retainers was boundless.

However, there was taboo for the Warrior family, the Marquis of Rakan.

That was Dark Magic.

Never would one from the family or the retainers go near dark magic.

It was inevitable that sooner or later the rumors would be asked to give some clarification.
