The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion - CH 75
Since the place where Yeckhart was currently staying was near the sanctuary, he needed permission from the Pope to station more knights.
Kendrick first ordered Ethan to put his knights on standby and contacted the temple separately.
In the temple, he immediately dispatched a priest.
Kendrick sighed when he saw the priest with a familiar face who ran straight at dawn.
“Etran.”
“It’s been a while, my Lord.”
Etran smiled and said. Kendrick waved his hand in annoyance.
“The mansion looks terrible, so take a look on your own.”
“Is the holy relic safe? Are you sure it wasn’t a crime targeting a holy relic?”
“I have the holy relic, but who would attack the servants for the holy relic?”
Kendrick replied angrily.
But Kendrick did understand what Etran was worried about.
In the past, there were a lot of crimes that actually targeted holy relics.
Besides.
‘In the record, it is written that there are clans whose holy relics were stolen.’
Since the records were almost erased, it was impossible to identify them accurately.
However, it was clear that there was a clan whose holy relic was stolen and that the moment the holy relic was taken away, a big problem would arise for the clan.
So, when the heads of the clan brought the holy relics outside for the festival, they never let go of them for a second.
Because the holy relics are that important.
“Then Raniero must have done it.”
Etran looked around the mansion casually and said. Deep claw marks here, and there seemed to tell us how much had happened the night before.
“Yeah, but they didn’t take Lincy. They even sent the Peregrine Falcon Knights. Besides.”
Kendrick strode ahead, then stopped and glanced around.
“They used Giles flowers.”
“Giles flowers…Isn’t it a flower that only grew in the land of Tamar? It’s now extinct, but how could that be…?”
Etran asked vaguely.
“I don’t know. The only thing that’s certain is that they used Giles flowers. The only drug that makes you lose your mind when ingested is Giles.”
For them, losing their minds was the same as dying.
Because a beastman who has lost his reason is just a beast.
Only when they have their mind can they live as beastman. For this reason, even when Giles flowers existed in ancient times, those who took Giles flowers or made medicines using these flowers were punished with extreme punishment.
At that time, a drug made from Giles flowers was on the market, and the dog clan was on the brink of extinction.
‘They asked Raniero for help.’
Raniero refused right away, saying that they couldn’t save the whole dog clan without even trying.
It was recorded that it took a very long time for the dog clan to revive.
‘So I was surprised.’
A long time ago, because Raniero had a closed tendency, there was no other way to know other than to be seen externally.
So it is not known how the bird clan dealt with those who were addicted to ‘Giles Flower’.
While wondering, a curse fell on the land of Tamar, and the Giles flower became extinct.
But.
“Before, I heard that Raniero’s ability can even cure the symptoms of poisoning.”
Linsy said so and used her ability.
Linsy showed her healing power by helping people who had been poisoned by Giles’ flowers.
The light green light that wrapped around Linsy’s body was like a miracle.
‘I’m surprised…’
Kendrick murmured, recalling his smart daughter-in-law.
“I must report to the His Holiness immediately that the Giles flower is back.”
Kendrick nodded slowly.
When Mount Tamar was cursed and the Giles flower disappeared from the land, there were many beasts who were happy.
However, while the land of Tamar is still stained with a curse, the Giles flower has returned.
This—.
‘Did Giles flowers grow in other lands too?’
According to the record, Giles flowers could only grow in the land of Tamar.
As a result of the researcher’s experiments, it was also recorded that in a land other than the land of Tamar, they quickly lost their power and died.
But—.
‘Someone figured out how to restore the Giles flower.’
At that moment, the things Linsy had been talking about flashed through Kendrick’s mind.
Ester, who was said to be using prohibition, and the man in the black hood, who was glaring at Linsy.
What the child said may be relevant.
At that time, Etran said.
“If you have solid evidence that it was Raniero’s, you can ask for the use of Giles pollen. Do you have proof?”
“We captured two of Raniero’s peregrine falconers alive.”
“I don’t think that’s going to work.”
Etran crumpled his face.
“There should be at least testimonies from those who used and distributed Giles pollen. We can’t hold Raniero responsible for this incident just because we captured two knights alive.”
Kendrick nodded.
“The suspect was identified. So…I just need to find it. Anyway, if you’ve looked through everything, I’ll give you a stationing permit first.”
“Yes, I do. I will personally report it to His Holiness.”
Etran nodded. Kendrick immediately nodded and gestured to Ethan, who was standing next to him.
“I’ll go now, so tell everyone to stand by at the training ground.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
“Aiden, Degon.”
Kendrick called out the two knights who were monitoring the situation at the mansion.
Aiden and Dagon bowed politely to Kendrick.
“Yes, my Lord.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
“Control it so that no one can leave the mansion.”
“Deborah of the Snake Clan said that she should report to the Hezeth family. Should I stop it?”
“Block her, control access without exception.”
Kendrick said firmly, and Aiden and Dagon left to find their places.
Darkness gathered beneath Kendrick’s feet, but the sun was not up, so no shadow was visible.
A shadow soon covered Kendrick’s entire body.
Kendrick disappeared into the shadows without leaving a trace.
Etran looked at it blankly and then left.

I opened my eyes slowly.
‘…How long have I been sleeping?’
I peeked out the window and saw that the sun was rising high. It was already daytime.
The servants were cleaning up the garden that had been ruined by the night before.
I stared blankly at Leona, who was sleeping soundly next to me and then got off the bed.
Then, standing in front of the mirror, I roughly straightened my messy hair.
But.
“…Again…”
I also saw that there was red hair here and there. It was three this time.
I was afraid that there might be red hair that I hadn’t seen before.
I looked in the mirror and quickly fumbled my hair.
“Ouch!”
Tears welled up in my eyes because the place I’d pulled hurt.
It seemed to be more painful because I had just plucked the new hair.
When I put the hair on my palm and examined it, it was clearly red.
The same color that made me a cursed child in my previous life.
Then.
Knock, knock.
“Lady~ are you awake?”
Betty’s voice came from outside the door. I was startled and lost my hair.
‘N, no!’
I quickly got down and tried to pick up my hair, but the window was open so I couldn’t see where the wind had blown it.
“Lady? May I come in?”
I exclaimed urgently.
“U, ung! You can come in!”
Then, I swept my feet across the nearby floor. If there is any hair, it will disappear into a corner.
Betty opened the door and came in.
“Lady Leon is still sleeping. I thought the Lady might be awake, so I came up and looked. Can I prepare some water for washing?”
“Ung? U, ung. Water… please prepare it.”
“Lady, what’s wrong? A cold sweat—”
Betty strode towards me.
I looked up at Betty with a stiff body.
“Ung? Nothing happened…I just woke up…”
“I guess it was because you overworked yesterday. I heard from Ethan. Lady, are you okay?”
Betty touched my forehead with a concerned expression. I nodded urgently.
“U, ung! It’s really fine.”
“I don’t think you’re okay…Shall I bring Mr. Hern? He’s at the mansion.”
“N, no. Because I’m really fine… Rather, Leon will wake up.”
I looked at Leona, who was sleeping soundly, to quickly get Betty out of the room.
Leona must have been tired from what happened last night, because she slept well and didn’t wake up when we talked.
“Lady Leon needs to wake up too, because…you have to eat lunch…”
Betty said, dropping the word lunch.
I noticed something strange and raised one of my eyebrows.
“Betty…? What’s wrong?”
