When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy - Chapter 108

“Daphne, eat this too.”

“Ah.”

I eat too much.

I opened my mouth like a baby bird, and Cesare put food in her mouth.

“It tastes even better because Cesare feeds me.”

“Good. Then this too.”

Cesare gave me something to eat to make me feel better.

Until my cheeks are full and like a pufferfish.

Cesare smiled again as I slowly chewed through my food.

The look on his face is enough to make me feel energized. I wonder if he’d like me to hurry up and defeat the Empress?

Defeating the Empress was simple.

The Empress… She killed her son with her own hands.

This was the ultimate reason Cesare was able to execute the Empress in the original story.

It seemed that Cesare still didn’t know this.

Cesare finds out because Marquis Gallard told him about it just before he died in prison.

This was not mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

When Gabriel was still on the streets, the Empress killed the Crown Prince and her son.

It was very dangerous to speak without accurate evidence and witnesses.

The book of Revelation was made with the intention of giving it to the Emperor in the first place, so I couldn’t write a story about it.

It was a fact that could shake up this Empire.

I was going to figure this out.

Waiting for Marquis to die was a long way. Even after that, Cesare took time to gather witnesses and evidence.

A few months or weeks later when reading a novel. This was possible, but not now.

I thought it would be better for me to move ahead and secure evidence and witnesses.

There were two types of evidence and witnesses presented in the novel.

The first is the former Crown Princess.

The second is a list of drugs that the Empress bought.

The former Crown Princess had been threatened by the Empress and took part in the killing of the former Crown Prince.

It was the Crown Princess who took the drug in the former Crown Prince’s cup.

The Empress knew which drugs her son was allergic to.

She gave the drug to the former Crown Princess, and she gave the Prince water with the drug in the hunting grounds.

The former Crown Prince took the drug and developed shortness of breath and seizures. It was too easy to kill in that situation.

This work was part of the doctor’s mistake, and it was the trigger for the large-scale use of water change.

The former crown princess has lived alone in a small palace ever since. I’m going to try and get her out first.

I already have it organized in my head, so all I have to do is move.

“Daphne. What are you thinking? Maybe because of tomorrow’s work…?”

“Tomorrow? Oh tomorrow. Tomorrow is a big day for Count Peliard.”

Cesare nodded his head with a heavy expression on his face.

He must have realized that I had been thinking about the Empress and was worried about that.

“No. I had forgotten about that. Cesare, Count Peliar was not part of my family. My only family is Cesare and Cherry. So it won’t upset me or do anything about it.”

“Daphne…”

Cesare looked touched.

“You’re the only one for me, and always will be.”

“… I know it too.”

Because Cesare was the type of person who would go all the way to the end when he was attached to it.

It was better to know Cesare’s nature.

There is no way to take away what you once had or give it to anyone.

Cesare is mine. All the love Cesare gives is mine.

It made me feel like my heart was full.

*****

Cesare held his breath in the dark. Today, I came out this way to get things done.

Unconditionally, Count Peliard will be captured today.

Joseph, returning from dispatching the knights, stood next to Cesare.

“It is said that the Count hasn’t moved in the mansion until today. And just before, three carriage entered the mansion.”

“What about Marquis Gallard?”

“No.”

As expected. Marquis Gallard couldn’t move openly.

Cesare nodded.

Cesare pointed in. It meant that the guests had arrived, so let’s go inside.

Joseph made a small whistle.

As planned, they crossed the fence in order to avoid the patrol. Cesare and Joseph were the last to go.

Cesare fiddled with his sword.

The moonlight was unusually bright, illuminating Count Peliard.

Perhaps it was because he knew what was happening there.

It was time to reveal the secrets hidden beneath the light.

Cesare crossed over the fence.

*****

Count Peliard sat down in an overbearing position.

In order to meet Cesare’s demand for money, Bariol had to be disposed, though it was a waste. So he brought in three people who were good customers.

“Are you going to give it to me at this price? It’s exorbitantly expensive, Count.”

“Look. Did you forget that this is almost the last batch? I can’t get any more bariols, so this price is not enough.”

“What’s wrong with the distribution? Is there any problem?”

In fact, they are now selling the remaining drugs rather than the distribution, but they have been playing around with the price while talking about distribution, so the words came out.

Count Peliard nodded.

“Looks like someone sniffed it. There is someone who pokes it.”

Creating a sense of crisis was also effective in raising prices.

The gathered people looked into each other’s eyes and hesitated. It seemed like it was going to be the last time.

Count Peliard’s heart was pounding. Only by closing this deal could he make enough money to appease Cesare.

I was afraid that Marquis Gallard would be angry, but he had to put out the fire at his feet first.

“… I will buy it. I will take this.”

“Me too.”

“Then me too.”

That’s it!

Count Peliard held back his desire to cheer.

Count Peliard orders the butler. It meant to go and get things.

The butler left the room.

Count Peliard took a purple wine from the cupboard.

It was a premium Western liquor to drink only on special days.

It was a top-of-the-line product that only produced about two bottles a year in Burstoad.

“Huh, that’s…!”

“In honor of our last deal, I’ll treat you to a glass.”

Count Peliard raised his lips.

“Good! Could it be possible to distribute it in the future?”

“That is something to watch. It is not easy to import because it is a drug that has already been banned.”

“Hah. That’s unfortunate.”

“Let’s make that regret go away with this drink.”

Count Peliard and the three of them clashed wine glasses.

It was when he shoved a strong, cool, purple drink down his throat.

The wind blew.

A cold breeze brushed past their cheeks. Count Peliard frowned and looked towards the balcony.

Who the hell left the door open?

It was time for Count Peliard to get up and close the door.

“Sir. I brought it.”

“Come in.”

The butler came in with the goods.

Large teddy bears were lined up and held in the arms of the guests. And the moment when the bag of money they held out is about to settle in Count Peliard’s vault!

“That’s enough.”

A voice that shouldn’t be heard was heard.

The eyes of those gathered in the drawing room were focused on the balcony at once.

The face of a man standing with his back to the moon was revealed.

“Du-Duke of Burstoad!”

“Sir Duke!”

The white-faced men rose to their feet and tried to flee, but they were stopped.

All of the escape routes were blocked by those who entered the room.

“Wh-what kind of rudeness is this, Duke!”

“Count Peliard.”

Cesare walked like a graceful beast and sat down where Count Peliard had been sitting.

Cesare, who was sitting cross-legged, picked up a glass of wine and smelled it.

“It’s a Burstoad Premium. To drink this kind of alcohol in such a dirty place.”

Cesare downed the bottle in one gulp.

Cesare licked his tongue in an angry mouth.

The guests, who made eye contact with Cesare, trembled and knelt on the floor.

“I-I was wrong!”

“I did nothing! Count Peliard ordered it, yes. That’s what happened!”

“What the hell were you doing?”

Cesare asked suspiciously.

The guests stuttered.

“That … Didn’t you know that?”

Cesare blinked at Joseph.

Joseph stole the teddy bear from the guests’ arms and ripped it open.

A bag of medicine fell inside.

“Even if you tease your innocence, it’s still smell.”

Joseph clicked his tongue lightly.

The guests, who had hoped for a moment, banged their heads on the ground.

“It’s definitely Bariol.”

Joseph checked the medicine and told Cesare.

Count Peliard, who had been watching all the way there, brought out the things he had put in the vault, with tears in his eyes.

Count Peliard knelt on the floor and offered them all to Cesare.

“This is the money I promised! It was supposed to be prepared by today! I’ll give you that money first! No, I’ll ship it to you! all this money…!”

“Whoah, Count Peliard.”

Cesare tapped the bag of money with his foot.

“Do you really think that I came to the Count to get this money?”

“Well then…”

Cesare rolled his eyes coldly.

At that moment, Count Peliard had a vision of being bitten in the nape of the neck by a beast.

“Hah, hah!”

“I want something else from the Count. Who is involved in this drug. Who the hell is behind the Count?”
