I Live With My Villain Uncle

I was puzzled.

 

No, at least I have to prepare my heart, you know?!

 

“Scary.
What if it suddenly goes wrong?”

 

“It’s already wrong anyway!”

 

***

 

Meanwhile, the imperial palace turned upside down in silence.

 

Inside the ancient library, Aika disappeared like dust.

 

After looking around the bookshelves for a long time, Russphe couldn’t find Aika, so he informed Kamaye and Zenda, and Zenda immediately informed Gerard.

 

“No matter how much I search, I can’t find her.”

 

“Gerard, what should we do? She really isn’t there.”

 

“She didn’t come out.
I will go in and find her.”

 

The four of them joined forces to search the ancient library again, yet Aika disappeared as if she had really evaporated.

 

Naturally, this fact reached Kassel, Duke Valliot, and even the Emperor.

 

However, since several important meetings were underway on the agenda of raising a new prime minister, first of all, servants and knights were sent to thoroughly search the inside of the ancient library.

 

No matter how large the ancient library was, it was a room inside the Imperial Palace.

 

More than ten people entered the space, searched through all the old books, and searched for picture frames, chairs, and other places where even ants couldn’t hide, yet Aika didn’t come out.

 

And all this was done quietly and thoroughly.

 

“There’s nothing here.”

 

“She’s not even here!”

 

“There is nowhere else to hide.”

 

The ancient library didn’t even have a secret passage that could be easily found in the Imperial Palace.

 

It was literally a place that was blocked off on all sides except for the entrance, and it made no sense that even with so many people put in, they couldn’t find her.

 

As soon as the meeting was over, Kassel immediately went that way to the ancient library and received the report, his eyes widened.

 

When the chaos erupted to the point that Gerard couldn’t stop it, the Emperor who came belatedly looked at the situation unfolding in front of him and made a stunned expression.

 

It was absolutely devastating.

 

Although the knights were moved to the outside of the building so that the news wouldn’t go out, those who had come to the inside to stop him were all gone.

 

“…Y-Your Imperial Majesty.
I apologize.
The Marquis is too stubborn.”

 

Belatedly, one of the knights straightened his body and corrected his posture.

 

What the heck happened, the knight had a torn side of his eye and a dent on one of his armored shoulders.

 

He must have been thrown out while trying to stop Kassel.

 

The Marquis was trying to get all the books in the ancient room, so they tried to stop him for the purpose of protection, and it happened like this, he said.

 

“I-I apologize.”

 

“That’s okay.
Take a rest first.”

 

Winchester pressed his forehead and headed inward.

 

As he moved a little closer, in the distance, the maid who had been tending to Aika was on her knees begging forgiveness.

 

“Sir, please calm down.
I’ve sent someone to the garden, so we’ll find her soon.
Just calm down a bit…”

 

“You ain’t getting out of my way?”

 

Bangㅡ!

 

Before Winchester could even enter the ancient library, a knight flew in and crashed into the door of the ancient library.

 

The knight crouched over and groaned.

 

All of the fallen knights were said to be the best in the Empire.

 

They were gathered to form the Imperial Palace Knights, so their skills aside, their basic physical condition was extraordinary.

 

Tossing them around was a truly formidable and monstrous force.

 

It seemed that Gerard had already given up stopping him.

 

Winchester lifted his hand to summon the still intact knights.

 

“I’ll figure it out, so drive all people away.”

 

“Your Imperial Majesty, it’s too dangerous right now…”

 

“Isn’t anyone stopping him now? Keep your mouth closed so that it doesn’t leak outside as much as possible, and drive people away.
You’re forbidden to enter this way.”

 

“…I will take your order.”

 

After all the people of the Marquis’ residence were driven away,Winchester went inside.

 

Valuable old books were scattered on the floor, making a mess.

 

He rubbed his brow.

 

It was bitter in his mouth because these were the books he had managed more thoroughly than anything else.

 

However, this time, he was also at fault.

 

Maybe he should have been a little more careful.

 

He raised his head with guilt, wondering if he had given the key too hastily after seeing the child who had grown so much that he didn’t recognize her.

 

“Kassel.”

 

As soon as Winchester put his hand on Kassel’s shoulder, he was thrown away with a thud.

 

“Move.”

 

“Kassel.”

 

Kassel sighed without looking up.

 

The moment Winchester was caught off guard, Kassel grabbed him by the collar and pushed him hard against the wall.

 

Thud!

 

Hitting the wall with a sound, Winchester groaned briefly.

 

“I don’t think I can kill you.”
