Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 129 The mastermind behind the scenes

"I can't do this! Not only was my foolish son rude to Lord Seid, but he also let him escape. This was a huge mistake! How can my life be enough to apologize!"

“…I won’t allow you to apologize with your life. Don’t think you can get away with it this way.”

“!”

Michelle shuddered and looked up in fear. Austin looked at him with an expression of annoyance. He seemed to think his guess was right.

He bowed his head and apologized so desperately, all for himself, without considering his son who made a mistake. He offered to pay with his life just to show that he was serious about his apology, but in fact it was just a gesture.

Felini also saw through this, and her eyes seemed to say "You can't fool me."

"I saw the same thing and heard the same thing last night. So if you show this attitude again, I can't react."

"That's right...but I'm really sorry!" Michelle argued stubbornly, and Felini sighed deeply.

"Mother. I'm afraid, how about we ask Mr. Michel to step down temporarily? Now is not the time to discuss these things..." The moment Austin proposed to Felini, Michel's eyes widened and his voice became louder.

"Even if he is the first prince, it's too casual, isn't it? I am discussing important matters with Ms. Felini now..."

“Indeed… this is also a method.”

"Ms. Felini!?"

Feeling betrayed, Michelle turned to Felini, but she smiled and said calmly, "I have heard Michelle's apology. You have nothing more to say. Can you leave now?"

This was undoubtedly saying, please leave quickly. Michelle realized this only then.

He clenched his fists, lowered his head and spoke: "...Are you really governing this country? I can't believe you don't know how much the MacRed family has contributed to this country! In addition, the reason for my son's failure, as I heard with my own ears, was caused by Lord Seid and his friends!"

At that moment, Felini and Austin's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and Michel did not miss this scene. He instinctively felt that this was a good time to attack.

"It's just my guess... but could my son's escape and the current situation where Lady Minerva can't be found be related to Lord Seid and his friend, the young monster user?"

Michelle seemed to be in a good mood and kept talking, while Austin sighed deeply and put his palm on his forehead: "Ridiculous. What nonsense are you saying at this time..."

"Is it really ridiculous? The news I got before I came here was that the two people and their companions had left the capital for the night. Isn't the timing of their departure too coincidental?"

“Gu…”

Austin was speechless and choked up when faced with Michelle's question, who was grinning. He felt hurt because he had no evidence to refute it. Michelle seemed to have noticed this and put more pressure on him.

"This is just my speculation, but the mastermind behind this series of chaos may be the young monster user. I heard from my son that the three monsters he controls are very rare, and it is reasonable to think that he obtained these monsters through improper means. He may be afraid that these things will be exposed, and use my son and Lady Minerva to stir up a commotion in an attempt to cover up the truth. The fact that he and Lord Seide quickly became friends may also be a foreshadowing of his actions."

Felini frowned when she heard Michelle's endless chatter. "Michelle, aren't these completely unfounded speculations of yours too much?"

"If we don't know anything now, then anything we say is just speculation."

Once again, Felini and Austin were unable to refute Michelle's words. Michelle chuckled to herself and decided it was time to call it a day.

"The most important thing is that this incident happened not long after the boy became friends with Lord Seide. In this case, it is understandable to suspect them, isn't it?"

"...I can't refute that." Austin said bitterly. In contrast, Michelle nodded with a satisfied smile, as if to say "I'm right."

“If that teenager is really behind this, then my son is the victim. I hope you can also consider this possibility.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Austin, do you understand?”

"Yes!"

It seemed that Michel was finally satisfied, and his expression showed a happy and profound change from beginning to end. However, Felini and Austin looked bitter, which made Michel's smile even brighter.

"I am very pleased to have your understanding. Well, I will take my leave now. I am sorry to have taken up your precious time." Michelle left the Queen's room with brisk steps.

As the door slammed shut, the old man Sergio, who had been listening quietly, came over and asked, "Do you really think that boy is the mastermind?"

Sergio's eyes pierced through Felini and Austin. Austin flinched for a moment, but then lowered his head and replied bitterly: "Of course not. It's just that we have no evidence to prove it wasn't him."

"Well. I'm glad to hear your answer." Sergio then left the Queen's room. Austin slowly walked to the window and looked outside.

He looked outside at the dark clouded sky and pounded the marble wall with his fist.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Brenda. Let's go."

Sergio and Brenda met in the hall near the entrance of the palace. In order to grasp the current situation, they split into two groups.

Once they were outside, Sergio asked, “So, how’s it going over there?”

"The whereabouts of Lady Minerva is still unknown. The same is true for the noble Erwin who also escaped. People in the city say they haven't seen them. And the man mentioned, Biz..."

“Did they really look for it properly? That’s a bit worrying.”

“It looks like they were looking for them. No one really has seen them.”

Hearing this, Sergio put his chin in his hand and began to think: "Hmm. This is indeed a bit strange... or maybe not strange. They may be moving in secret."

"If they act together, this possibility is greater. So, what about you, elder?" Brenda asked casually, and Sergio sighed deeply: "The head of the McReade family is here and kneeling there."

"Huh? What's going on..."

"That's not important. The problem is what happened afterwards. That man actually treated Xu Zhen as a criminal."
