47. Revenge
“There’s only the King of Talia and I, here. Who will believe you in this situation, tell me?”
Maria’s face pale, and her body trembled from fear. The guards refused to allow her any movement.
“You were originally Baroness Lilybell of the Kingdom of Haulfa. When you were ten, it was discovered that you were the baron’s daughter and were into the baron’s family. When you were thirteen, you contacted Schmia Bergner, who was in similar situation.”
Maria could only give up. I also listened silently.
Will looked down on the silent Maria.
“You talked to Schmia Bergner about ‘Charm’, and said to her that if she did as you told, everyone would love her—not only the First Prince, but also the Second Prince along with his entire entourage. Schmia, who received such incentive, approached us.”
I exhaled at Will’s word.
The inside of my mind blanked—that was what happened!?
I was stunned by the development—but wait,
…could it be, Maria was the mastermind behind everything!?
Indeed, Will mentioned something about Schmia not being the real culprit, but, Maria!? No way…
Maria, a pretty girl whom I thought was Vioris’s lover… the shock hit my head.
I recalled what Will had said—
—perhaps, the murders that had occurred in the recent years weren’t Baroness Schmia’s doing.
—she isn’t bright, I don’t think she could come up with such an elaborate plan. The true perpetrator behind this is used to killing.
That conversation returned to me.
I also recalled Lyon’s investigation, how they couldn’t arrest someone because there still wasn’t enough evidence… moreover, about how the true culprit was different from Baroness Schmia and had a high-level of ‘Charm’.
In my kingdom, those that were immune to ‘Charm’ were the king, Williant, Almys, and also Vioris…
…Will certainly said so.
In other words, Will already knew that Maria was the culprit since that time…
I unconsciously gripped my arm…
…When Will noticed it, he gently caressed my back.
“Then, you went to study abroad in the Kingdom of Dirlia when you were fifteen.”
While Will spoke quietly, I heard another sound—when I turned towards the voice, there stood an incredible figure.
Milk tea colored hair and amethyst eyes—
—he stood there, menacingly…
…His Highness Lyon!?
Why are you here…?
I was surprised yet again.
His Highness Lyon stood expressionlessly in front of Maria—he was inarguably Lyon Dirlia, the prince of Dirlia.
Maria screamed, perhaps also due to shock. “Huh!?” Her face said ‘I can’t believe it’. She looked as white as ghost.
Regardless, Will continued to speak.
“When you were studying abroad, you met the Second Prince of Dirlia and used ‘Charm’ to mislead the Second Prince You then told him—if you kill the First Prince, the throne will be yours—it’s said that the second prince had no magical power, as such, he couldn’t resist your ‘Charm’, and became your puppet just like that, causing a civil war.”
At that time, I also recalled Amilia’s words.
The kingdom that had been peaceful for hundreds of years was now thrown into civil war.
Indeed, it was strange.
However, I supposed that was the reason.
I was dizzy and about to fall.
Everything happened because of one girl. I heard that the civil war intensified, and many people had died.
I looked up at Will involuntarily and then looked straight at Maria.
“Then you returned to the Kingdom of Haulfa and started ransacking it. Count Yuvy, Count Harvin, Count Braglia, Count Opera… there have been other murders involving thirteen other people in the Kingdom of Haulfa. They occurred one at a time—I’ve also taken the testimony that you incited all those murders.”
“…”
Maria looked further down, saying nothing.
“—the evening ball that night. The day when Schmia was detained. When you were about to be caught by Vioris, you escaped from him using the guards you charmed. Then, you went to Talia and used your ‘Charm’ on the men of Talia and had made commence human trafficking. Sudi was the leader of the dark organization you formed for hit. You gave them instructions to kill Tia, but they instead brought her to Talia. Perhaps they decided they could make use of her due to her magical power. You tried to kill Tia because she’s my biggest weakness! Try finding a way out of this!”
He said in a low, murmuring voice. It sounded rough and unpleasant.
Looking at Will, he was staring at Maria with apparent killing intent.
It made my skin crawl.
This was probably his magic leaking out—I had only learned of that kind of phenomena from books.
I heard such a thing would happen whenever someone got too emotional and their magic was about to run out of control.
I felt uneasy and called out to him.
“Will.”
When I beckoned to him, Will’s murderous intent dispersed.
The stifled air also vanished, and I could breathe easily again.
Will looked at me and made a sad and painful expression, but immediately shifted his gaze towards Maria once again.
“Then, Tia used her magic in the building where she was captured and escaped. Tia then became an adventurer to save money to return to the Kingdom of Haulfa.”
Listening to him made me consider the terrible things I had gone through.
Will’s words made me recall the past.
There was one thing I didn’t tell Will—which was Fern.
Maybe he did know, it was Will, after all.
What was Will thinking right now?
I wondered what would Will think of me, who left Fern to die and escaped alone…
“I’ve summarized all your sins. Your crimes are either an act of revenge towards the kingdom or a genuine intent to ruin the kingdom… I’m sure of it.”
Maria looked up at Will with a hateful look. Looking at her eyes, Will nodded.
Revenge on the nation…?
I took a deep breath.
***T/N : SERIOUSLY AUTHOR, SERIOUSLY!??!!? THIS IS HOW YOU WANT TO TIE EVERYTHING TOGETHER?!?!?! BY HAVING THE SOCIOPATHIC PRINCE RECITE EVERYTHING LIKE A MEDIEVAL FOX NEWS ANCHOR THROUGH THE SAME MOUTH THAT UTTERED THIS GOLDEN LINE ‘IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE YOU CAN ALWAYS FORGE IT’ !?!?!!??! NO I DONT TRUST HIM. I DONT TRUST EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED OFFSCREEN IS HAPPENING EXACTLY LIKE HE DESCRIBED!!!!!! I DONT TRUST ANY EVIDENCES HE PRESENTED BECAUSE HIGH CHANCE ITS FUKIN FORGED!!!!!! SO ALL THAT’S LEFT IS ‘FASCINATION’ MAGIC, YEAH, THE ENTIRETY OF THE CASE YOU BUILD IS BASED ON FASCINATION MAGIC!!! YOU BLAME EVERYTHING ON THIS ILLOGICAL BULLSHIT AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST SWALLOW EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU’RE THE FOCKIN CROWN PRINCE!!!!! TELL YOU WHAT, YOU S.O.A.B, IM ONTO YOU, I WILL DIG EVEN THE DEEPEST SKELETON YOU’VE BURIED–HECK, AT THIS POINT, IT WOULD MAKE MUCH MORE SENSE IF HE WAS THE TRUE CULPRIT BEHIND THOSE MURDER CASES INSTEAD!!!! THIS GUY LOVE TORMENTING PEOPLE TO DEATH AND HE AINT EVEN TRYING TO CONCEAL IT ANYMORE.
TL;DR OF THIS CHAPTER: DO YOU GUYS MISS THE FIRST CONDEMNATION EVENT?! WELL WORRY NOT! THE AUTHOR IS HERE TO BESTOW UPON US THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO, AND EVEN THE EXACT SAME REACTIONS FROM OUR FL, WHO SHOULD’VE GROWN A BRAIN BY NOW–BUT CLEARLY, THAT’S JUST TOO HIGH OF AN EXPECTATION FROM OUR SIDE, ‘M SORRY, TIA. THE ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE THE NAME OF THE THOT, THE LOCATION, AND SOME NEEDLESS EXTRA CAST YOU NEEDN’T PAY ATTENTION TO.
P. S : Oh hey there, Lyon! Working as a crown prince must be boring, huh? Its time for a vacation isnt it? Welcome to the fray!
If I was Tia, I would run the f-ck away from this prince and this whole situation. Of course, if I was Tia, practically nothing thats happened in this story would have gone the way it did (except maybe becoming an adventurer, although I would probably do something less dangerous, like… baking).
Maria, THIS is YOUR LIFE….
(Is that reference so old no one gets it anymore?)
I… I dont get it
Yes it is. You lucked out and got someone nearly sixty years old, which is old enough to get it, but I’m nobody, so…
Tell me tell me what is it about.
The stereotypical reincarnation of a lady updated today 😛 I really wish I had stockpiled these chapters instead of pouncing on them as soon as they are released… I feel sad…
The ML seems to be falling real hard for the MC on the new updates.
Why is he sitting on the floor
To show his sincerest apologies…..the ML is a really really awkward kid and everyone knows that except MC but we don’t talk about it
“””””But we dont talk about it”””””
My fault for only reading from ch 12.
The MC will know he is awkward if we talk about it….so we don’t…..LOL
This how you do misunderstandings, not go on vacation part way through… MC is weird in ways they do not understand, what is shocking is how on point she is though with her observations, it is really a stark contrast to her flights of fancy, if only they knew her like her family…
To me it looks like he enjoys seeing the Prince in such a pose 😛 Duke too clueless to fall in love yet, and he still has to make up for all the things that happened to her there 😀 he has to figure out what he did that was bad 😛
NO SHIT. I GOT ADDICTED TO STEREOTYPICAL NOBLE LADY. KUQ KU THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
oh did you see its all updated to the raws 😛 shame theres no more raws 🙁
KUQ KU, YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT GOT MORE RAWS!?!?!?
FUCKING TIARIZE.
AUTHOR DECIDED IT DESERVES ARC 3.
ARC FUCKING THREE.
NOW PASS ME MY WHISKY.
3… wot… :O… I am listening to Lady Gaga sour candy, I will pretend that arc 3 is the author being rebellious to commonsense and wisdom…
THE THIRD ARC IS ABOUT AMILIA AND SCHMIA.
WHO THE FUCK CARE!?
The author… cares… who is amilia… I dunno that one musta totally skimmed past that character… :O
Should send message too the Author and say “Its wrong to troll…”
While the story is a train wreck, I really like the TL notes. Quite honestly it’s better than the actual story. Thank you for the translation!
IT HAS ARC FUCKING THREE I AM NOT OVER THAT
True props to the author, it’s really impressive how the mad lad keeps his wild ride going.
You know I didn’t actually read all of that, because I knew what I would get, I will totally blame Trump for this story… absolutely his fault 😛 the Author copied his management strategies of how to win at covid and this is what you get…
Kuq ku, we are back to the title! How skillful of the author!
Yes… the spoiler was in the title all along..
“The inside of my mind blanked—that was what happened!?”
So Tia’s mind can get more blank than it already is.
Shocked Tia counter: 1point
“Maria, a pretty girl whom I thought was Vioris’s lover… the shock hit my head.”
I guess Tia got too many shocks that hit her head which led to concussion and brain damage.
Shocked Tia counter: 2 points
“I was surprised yet again.”
Shocked Tia counter: 3 points
Congrats Tia you won today’s “I got shocked too many times award”
“Listening to him made me consider the terrible things I had gone through.”
Can someone please tell me what these terrible things are??? I don’t remember anything about that, is it just my bad memory or what???
Commander I really wanna hear what kind of things that psychologist will say about this guys….
Well she didnt get to take credit for winning against aliuster
At least now she can say she got some sort of award although it’s just for today’s award for the most number of being shocked
I totally thought Commander would update Roze…..I blame Rose and Ed for that thought.
Commander take a look at this vid:

HE FAILED TO PREDICT ME HAHAHAHA
HOW???? GUY TOTALLY GOT ME I ALMOST SCREAMED AT 3 AM BECAUSE OF AMAZEMENT!!!!
I THOUGHT IT WAS SORCERY!!!!!
HAHAHA WHICH MEAN U R EASY TO PREDICT GABE.
I always had been fascinated by this kind of things. Once I watched a magic show on a school fair and the magician on stage was looking for a volunteer and because I was an unusual face in that school (I am not a student of that school and I was wearing civilian clothes which pretty much shouts I am not from there) I was called. I was bracing myself and preparing my mind to uncover the tricks behind the magic they would show me, but I found out nothing and still ended up being amazed. The next day I went back to watch again and the same thing happened.
Maybe they sense magic from you instead, Gabe.
What kind of magic the same one that this guy is selling??? (Whatever this magic is…???)

But if I do have magic I hope this magic is the kind that would help me connect to fast internet.
Oooh i thought Gabe is still asleep because i am
Gabe Gabe what are you doing.
I haven’t slept yet because I was waiting for 8 hours to finish downloading Kita Kita but the little dipshit called mobile data failed me after it is halfway done. Then I went to youtube, found the prediction guy then I am now watching this:
https://youtu.be/L7ep_UUwJP8
Plot twist. The one who want to watch kita kita is Gabe all along.
I wanted to make GIFs of it just to show you how wonderful it is because my gentle persuasion methods don’t seem to work, that is why….LOL
Then add to that my siblings also want to watch it.
We siblings like the ML because of this:

WHY
WHAT
The actor playing the role of the ML is a comedian and this is his superhero show titled “Kapitan Awesome” or Captain Awesome in english……so the main character who is handsome in his normal form transforms into his Kapitan Awesome alter ego when he eats a super siomai (a kind of dumpling) like how popeye becomes strong when he eats his spinach…..the show was so ridiculous that it was super hilarious.
I got used to this type of roles he had that his role in Kita Kita became a huge shock for me. I was expecting to cry from too much laughter in Kita Kita like always but like I said I got shocked….I was crying for a different reason.
MY GLASSES BROKE. MUCH SADNESS.
I DIDNT SAY I WONT WATCH IT YU KNO. I WILL. BUT LATER.
btw el royale is a good way to gain favor with my mom. We both like chris
I bet you send gifs or pics of Chris Hemsworth to your mom when she gets mad at you…..LOL
Im downloading kita2
Woohoo!!!!! My hypnotism worked!!!!! Commander is downloading it now!!!!!!!!
https://ibb.co/RDFgxXW
I drew a hotpot Gabe!
Commander you made me hungry!!!! Please don’t make me hungry!!! You won’t like me when I’m hungry!!!!! HAHAHA
Gabe if someone doesnt risk their life for you does that mean they dont love you enough to be considered true love?
I don’t think so, it can be true love even if you do not risk your life for them. You could be silently supporting the person your love as they face challenging times. I think it would be better if instead of dying for you, the person would be doing their best to live for you……anyways it is not like you are doing shady things that your lover would need to risk their lives for you.
THE NEWEST EPISODE OF THAT INDECISIVE FLIRT DETECTIVE FUCK.
so the detective is trapped in a blaze. Our cute pure heroine cant move to help him cause she fear her own life. MILF stepped in and rescued the detective instead.
The cute mc immediately feel all inferior “i i cant risk my life for u, that means i m not worthy enough for u!!!! “
And if someone’s lover is actively trying to risk their lives for them that would make me think if they actually hate the person and is trying to escape from them via death.
They got out????? Why didn’t this little dipshits stay in the blaze????? That would have been a good ending.
Milf saved him, but before untying him she preaches about him being Adam and she being Eve. She is going to kill everyone near him until theres only the two of them, then they shared a kiss while the protagirl watch in shock and jealousy.
The episode ends with the indecisive flirt stringing her along even more.
Cute Mc : I want to back out!
Detective : no don’t.
Cute Mc: why!?
Detective: you good at cooking–thats why I always want you to stay with me.
In the end the girl got even more misled and confused.
Based on your description about that shitty ML it seems he is pretty bad at his job as a detective and it makes me wonder how he remains to be a detective despite being really bad at it…..yeesh he is so bad at being a detective that the bad person who he should be catching needs to save him…..I am really mystefied as how he was able to keep his job.
And that protag who gets swayed a lot easier than a bamboo should take lessons under the guidance of Rose from 90 day fiance.
When Gabe put it like that, it does destroy the rose tinted glass that is triangle love and put things into perspective–that he indeed sucketh at his job
If someone gave a review about the detective’s job it would probably be like this:
0 out of 10 stars
This guy sucks he can’t even catch that psycho bitch who is running amok and still needed the psycho to save him. To top it all this guy prioritizes flirting before doing his job, he even asks for additional money as his allowance in doing his job but he just uses it to go on dates with girls. I ask for refund!!!!!! If any of you ever thinks of asking this guy for help I suggest you don’t, he’ll just waste your money.
P. S.
I don’t think it is a love triangle. Based on your description, I don’t think there is love between these bunch of people.
Btw the murder motif of episode two…. The culprit is a france chef yea. He kills anyone who give his restaurant a bad review. Yeah. He is cool like that.
Why does that sound like Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro episode???
Broken hearted. Broken hearted is my name.
That time when u were a kid and thought once u get a job u can buy anything u want without hesitation.
HAHAHA!!!!! SAME HERE!!!!! SAME HERE!!!!
So…I think this was supposed to be a very serious scenario, but throughout all this all I could think was, “Can we just get this over with?” xD Like honestly Tia…why are you like this? Did your parents teach you nothing? How did you become so brainless? Would being struck in the head help you to become smarter because I don’t even see you surviving as an adventurer. It’s a miracle you lived this long, but maybe that’s the power of the heroine halo?
Its a skill, ericka. A skill to annoy us all with her stupidity to the brink of death.
