"How the hell did that bastard know?"

He had barely survived, intercepted their achievements, and was guaranteed a promotion, but then a guy who knew the truth appeared—a foolish guy who seemed to have feelings for Ray. When the hell did he find out? He had confided the truth to Ray at that time. Besides, it seemed that he had even reported it to his superior after the daytime incident. There was no doubt that an investigator would come tomorrow and investigate what happened then.

"Sudaeng, did you deliver the letter well?"

"I put it in front of his room. He's probably seen it. Carlton said he saw him come out after receiving the letter."

Sudaeng and Carlton followed Tyke, who had a bright future, just to look good. They were just as nervous.

"Whoa... it should be fine."

Tyke had thrown a bit of a tantrum. He was able to convince Ray to use her as the bait needed to lure Daron away.

"Shh, here he comes."

Tyke's gang confirmed that Daron was coming from afar and quickly hid themselves. Daron headed to a small rest area where Ray was waiting.

The place where Ray said she would wait for me was a rest area with few people coming and going. If it were during the normal daytime, there would be some sick people who came to take a break, but no one would be there now. That said, it was also the perfect place for a stealthy attack.

Looking at the bright light inside, it seemed that Ray was waiting. I entered, pretending not to be suspicious.

"...I'm here."

She was wearing a commoner's outfit, different from the cook's uniform she wore during the day.

"You want to talk to me?"

"Okay. The story about Tyke."

She called him "Tyke" until the end. She still wanted to believe him. Perhaps Tyke worked hard to persuade Ray to get rid of me.

"Believe in yourself, and I will prove it..."

"Want some tea?"

Ray poured the tea that was ready. It seemed like she had set the scene for a slow conversation.

"But Ray..."

"Huh?"

"Honestly, isn't it a bit suspicious to give tea out of nowhere in a situation like this?"

From here, history changes. I am no longer the one who gulped down this tea without suspecting anything.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with me paying attention to you?"

"No, just like that. In fact, I even received death threats from Tyke."

"Hey! Don't frame Tyke!"

"Then let's switch glasses."

"Okay. You can't switch it."

In fact, this tea set was prepared by Tyke. He must have told Ray beforehand to offer a cup of tea to warm up the cold atmosphere. And Ray, who still didn't know Tyke's intentions, got angry.

Ray changed the glass with a look of discomfort. She sipped the tea. Looking at her neck as she drank, it was very thin. She had fallen for Tyke, but if she hadn't, she would have been a very attractive woman.

"Is that okay?"

"You drink like you drink."

"It's not because you keep doubting me!"

"I'll drink well too."

I also drank the tea. This cup was safe, unlike what Ray drank.

"It will take some time for a reaction to come."

"...Reaction?"

"Anyway, that's what's going on. Can I start with you?"

Ray would have been prepared to defend Tyke, and Tyke, who was watching from the outside, would be hoping that I would fall for a ruse. I didn't have to wait.

"Should I tell you what Tyke is thinking?"

"Are you a tyke?"

"Okay. Let me tell you how bad Tyke is."

"I came here to hear the evidence, but in the end, is it just your judgment?"

"Listen first."

From now on, I will lead.

"Tyke probably planned to use you to bring me in."

I could see that Ray reacted slightly, as if my words were right.

"And I would have said that. I would have told you to tell me what kind of person I am and how much of a badass I am."

It was amazing. Even if she didn't know what kind of conversation had happened, the context of what I was talking about was clear.

"Actually, that guy's heart is like this. He probably wants to kill me, thinking that his life could be ruined if he did something wrong."

"No. Tyke..."

"You want to kill me—but you can't kill blindly, can you? So he thought of a plot. A scheme to create a situation in which I am a complete monster and deserve to die."

I ignored Ray's words and continued.

"What is that plot? That is, feeding me an aphrodisiac and creating a situation where I a**ault you."

"Me... What? A**ault me?"

"Huh. That's why the teacup that Ray replaced was pre-filled with an aphrodisiac."

Ray looked in disbelief at the teacup he had just touched. I feel her breathing, a little quicker.

"Proof... Do you have any proof?"

She was looking for evidence again. Well, if it was actually proof... It meant that I actually had memories of being tricked into it. After drinking the aphrodisiac, I tried to a**ault Ray, but Tyke suddenly appeared and stopped me. In addition, during the fight, a lantern was knocked over and a fire broke out.

At that time, the result of the incident was as follows: I was irreparably burned, and Ray hated me for trying to r*pe him. In addition, the suspicion of murder in Tyke's monster subjugation operation was cleared. In many ways, I lost a lot.

"Wait... For a moment. What, this is strange."

It seemed that the aphrodisiac was finally working. He picked one that was very effective from where he got it, and her libido was gradually growing.

"Ha... Ha... Wait a minute."

Ray stared at me with her strange eyes. On the contrary, he must have been anxious for me to a**ault her. However, it seems that he was gritting his teeth and trying to overcome the drug, probably because of his pride. Seeing this, it's pretty disgusting. I never thought that Ray would make such an expression on me. Knowing what her future would be like, I was very surprised.

"This... Hey, how do I do this?"

It would be hard to bear. Maybe if I kissed her like this, she would accept it without rejecting it. But before that, there was work to be done.

"Under... Ugh♡"

Ray's whole body was sensitive. I only lightly touched her arm, but she seemed to feel it.

"It will only hurt a little, so keep quiet."

The time was coming soon. Now was the beginning. Now it was my turn to use Ray as bait. I raised my hand and hit her hard on her butt.

Slap!

"Kyaheu-ah?!!!—♥"

Perhaps because her body had become sensitive, she let out a strange scream. Immediately after, Tyke and the thugs who were waiting outside stormed in.

"What are you doing to Ray!"

"You r*pist bastard—!"

As soon as they entered without even understanding the situation, they accused me of being a r*pist. They were under the illusion that I was attacking Ray by eating aphrodisiacs.

Looking back, I was angry.

"To these stupid bastards."

"Agh!"

"Ew!"

I lifted the steel trash can from under the table and threw it at the reckless attackers. In turn, it hit the heads of Sudaeng and Carlton, and finally struck the head of Tyke. I couldn't get enough, so I hit Tyke's head with the trash can once more.

Tyke collapsed with a very cool thud. It must have been very painful to see a dented trash can.

At that moment, another commotion was heard outside, and a bright light filled the rest area. I saluted leisurely. The person who crashed into this place was Ariana Katrin, one of the knight commanders. Ariana, a female knight who was born in the Katrin family, inherited her excellent swordsmanship skills from her father and became the youngest knight commander at the age of 23.

Ariana's appearance in her refined armor did not obscure her beauty and her figure. Common soldiers would glance at her whenever this blonde beauty, who exuded her cool personality and her voluptuous beauty, passed by. There were probably a lot of guys who saw her and fell in love with her from their imagination alone.

"It is as you said. They are so dirty."

Before coming here, I had asked the superiors to let them know about their plans in advance. That's why she raided the scene like this. The tykes and thugs who were looking at this small space were being watched by the imperial soldiers on the contrary.

"And as a result of the first autopsy on the body of the 20th seal, it was found that she was stabbed by an ally's sword. Further investigation will reveal this, but the circumstances are reason enough to capture these scum. Bind them!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers forcibly lifted the three unconscious men from the floor and tied them up. Little by little, they came to their senses and made a fuss, saying that they were innocent, but the more they did, the more arms grabbed them.

"Take a look."

Those who drove me into hell are over now. The more they go through the investigation, the more the crime they've been hiding will be revealed, and they will be punished by military law up to the death penalty.

Tyke, being dragged along with the soldiers, walks away. Soon, this originally quiet rest area becomes quiet.

I look at Ray, who was trembling beside me. Her illusions about Tyke were shattered, and she lowered her head. Was she ashamed of herself for defending him all this time?

No.

"Can't you stand it?"

"But, don't touch... huh?"

Her whole body was covered in sweat after taking the drug. I only lightly touched her on the shoulder, but the reaction was intense.

"Can I make you comfortable?"

She was startled when I approached her and spoke to her in her ear.
