Chapter 77: Caroline Augustus Milverton
Im not sure if you fully understand the implications of what you have just said.
Amid the chilling silence, a stern voice peeked out from behind the veil.
Are you perhaps underestimating the power of the royal family? It seems to me that Miss Mycrony didnt properly explain what transpires in the shadows of the British government to you.
Excuse me, but I believe I understand the implications perfectly well.
Then I assume youre also aware of what will happen if you leave this room as it stands?
Im not so sure about that though.
As I scratched my head and said those words, the woman behind the veil slightly tilted her head to the side.
You just need to understand that, no matter how hard you try and what power you use, if you walk out of this room right now, you wont be able to live past today.
What if I just take you hostage right now, Princess?
Im not sure what makes you say that, but Im not a princess.
Do you really expect me to believe that when the royal knights and guards are surrounding the building with their senses sharp for any signs of oddity, and there are numerous snipers with their weapons locked on me as we speak?
The moment I said those words, she straightened her back and sighed.
And youre telling me that you, with that knowledge, still chose to act so in front of royalty?
All the more reason for me to take you hostage right now, dont you think?
Thats too reckless.
Please note that if I see you raising your hand or sending a signal, I will attack immediately. So, please consider your next actions.
Hearing me whisper so with a slightly stern expression, a small laugh emanated from behind the veil.
Indeed, you are a savage, just as Ive heard.
.
But if you keep running wild, as you have, you might end up as a display showpiece in my room someday.
The fairly relaxed voice that followed was filled with the unmistakable dignity and authority of royalty.
Judging by her words and attitude, her confidence seemed to be well-founded, quite unlike the opponents Ive been dealing with so far.
Isaac Adler. Apologize for insulting Her Majesty immediately and obey her command.
The royal family is already aware of everything you and the professor have been up to. Of course, weve already prepared a countermeasure.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
Sure enough, seeing my momentary silence, she began making some dizzying remarks, all directed at me.
With a simple command, all the military power that the British Empire can mobilize will trample you down and crush you completely. Weve already come to an agreement with the prime minister regarding this stance, so you must make your choice with utmost haste.
As a British citizen, choose who to serve as your queen right this instance.
I felt a chill run down my spine and cold sweat began leaking out of my body.
But, I have only one queen.
Still, my response was the same as ever.
No matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same.
And thus, silence ensued for a while.
I dont understand.
Sitting in my chair, I swallowed dryly, completely ignoring the killing intent surging from behind me. At that moment, the princess voice, a mix of confusion and frustration, leaked out from behind the veil.
Just saying that youll follow Her Majesty would have been enough to save your life.
.
Werent you forced to join that professor? Why would you miss such a good opportunity to get rid of her, that too with the support of the royal family?
Quietly gazing at her silhouette, I replied in a low and deep voice.
I cant betray the entity Ive created.
Pardon?
Simply speaking, I was unable to summarize the myriad of strange feelings I harbored toward Professor Jane Moriarty.
As a creator, I cant betray my creation.
Is that how it is?
Therefore, as I blurted out the most trivial reasoning that came to my mind, the voice before me grew far chillier than before.
Perhaps I have been misreading this scenario from the very beginning.
What are you talking about?
The one that needs to be eliminated has been you. You were the mastermind behind everything all along.
The hostility in her voice was so palpable that my body began to tremble on its own.
An average university professor who had shown no noteworthy movement, until recently of course, suddenly became a notable figure in the mathematical world, and at the same time, she started making a name for herself in the criminal underworld.
.
Her sudden appearance was so abrupt that my informants couldnt make heads or tails of the situation. But now, I fully understand the reason behind everything.
Suddenly, it felt like the thick killing intent surrounding the building was now focused all on me.
The one who shaped her from a raw gem, it was none other than you, wasnt it?
Hmm.
You were the orchestrator, not the professor, from the very start. Since I misinterpreted the origin, no matter how much I moved people it wouldnt have resolved anything.
I felt like vomiting due to the extreme tension in the atmosphere, but still, I merely responded with a leisurely smile.
The woman, seemingly wearing a long robe, glanced at me and spoke from behind the veil.
That Im keeping a close eye on your suspicious activities in London.
You will have to correct the impure schemes you are harboring as soon as possible.
Hearing her, a question immediately popped into my head.
If youre so wary of me, why havent you revealed my secrets to anyone yet?
If it werent for the business regarding Caroline, I would have reported your activities to Her Majesty the Queen long ago.
If it were me, I would have still told her, just in case, you know?
To that question, the princess merely replied in a calm and dignified voice.
I have the perfect card in my hand, a card I can use to control and keep you to myself. Why would I let others have a piece of it.
Are you planning to use me in the internal power struggle of the royal family?
Not necessarily for that reason alone, though you arent inaccurate in your reasoning.
And with that, she began walking towards the secret door beyond the veil.
Then, is there another reason?
Well, youre quite handsome, arent you?
As the princess left those words behind and stepped through the secret door, her figure hidden throughout, the palpable tension in the surroundings quickly vanished as though it were a lie.
The last statement must be a joke, right?
Thinking about how the princesses of the 19th century were also good at making jokes, I silently headed toward the door at the back of the room.
..?
As I opened the door, I was taken aback by the sight before me, my eyes widening and head tilting to the side.
Professor?
Professor Moriarty was awkwardly standing there, receiving the icy gaze of Charlotte, who was sitting on the sofa across from her.
Didnt you say you wouldnt follow us?
.
As I looked at her in clear confusion and moved toward her, Professor Moriarty subtly averted her gaze, avoiding my eyes.
Swish...
In her slightly awkward state, she imperceptibly extended her hand to me. As I casually extended my palm as well, she gently placed something on top.
A gift, for you.
There were as many as three pieces of sugar cubes, which she loved to eat, placed on my palm.
Thank you?
Mr. Adler.
While I was scratching my head, putting it in my mouth while smiling awkwardly, I heard Charlottes icy tone from behind.
What is that picture on your hand?
She was looking at the photo of a rather elegant woman, placed in my other hand.
This is
Immediately, a light bulb lit up in my head.
Its the subject of a bet.
The eyes of both Charlotte and Professor Moriarty began to glow ominously at the same time after hearing my words.
.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at that moment
Miss, Count Winston has contacted us to request a meeting with you.
Decline it.
In a darkened room, a woman sat in an armchair, resting her chin on her hand as she stared blankly at the picture in her hand.
I have been informed that if you refuse to meet him, there will be troubles regarding your safety, miss
I dont care.
Soon after, a cold voice leaked out of her lips.
I have already chosen a new target.
Reflected in her eyes was the image of a boy with golden hair.
Surely, you dont mean Isaac Adler now, do you?
Hehe.
