V5Ch2: Shocking morning, school skewering murders!!!! Part 6
Translator: Soafp
A beautiful woman with flaming red hair was examining the body of the head librarian.
It was Iris Midgar, princess of the Kingdom of Midgar and Alexia’s sister. Alexia had sent Claire home first and was explaining the case to the knights.
“Sister, the head librarian, on his deathbed, told us about the plans of the Diabolos Order. They kidnapped the students of the academy. The right arm of Diabolos, the demon sealed in this land—“
“That’s enough.”
Iris interrupted Alexia’s words carelessly.
“Eh?”
“I’ve heard enough of your nonsense.”
“N-nonsense”
Alexia asked, dumbfounded.
“Alexia, listen to me. There is no such thing as the Diabolos Order.”
Iris looked at Alexia seriously.
“It doesn’t exist…….Sister, did something happened? We promised to investigate the Diabolos Order together…….”
“As a result of our investigation, we found that there is no such thing as the Diabolos Order”
It was not Iris who said that.
It was a tall man standing next to her. His serpentine eyes and pale skin gave me the creeps.
“Who are you?”
“It is my pleasure to meet you for the first time, Princess Alexia. My name is Habu, Deputy Commander of the Red Knights.”
“Glenn’s successor. He’s a very capable and dependable man.”
“…..I am honored.”
Habu smiled thinly when Iris praised him.
“So what do you mean the Diabolos Order doesn’t exist? I have already gathered enough evidence to prove it.”
“Shadow Garden fabricated the whole thing.”
“Fabricated?”
“Shadow Gardens has done many evil things. Starting with the kidnapping of Princess Alexia, the attack on the school, the destruction of the sanctuary, and the massacre in the Kingdom of Oriana. There have been reports of many other acts around the world.”
“It is because of Diablos—!”
“Shadow Gardens has fabricated an organization called the Diabolos Order, and they are responsible for the crimes. They created a criminal organization that does not exist in order to hide their evil.”
“Do you really think such a wild theory will hold water?”
“Here is the proof.”
“Eh?”
Hubu handed Alexia a thick document.
The cover of the document reads, “Fabrication of the Diabolos Order by the Shadow Gardens”.
“A 34-year-old male confessed to acting as a follower of the Diabolos Order at the direction of Shadow Gardens. It appears that he was forced to comply after his family was taken hostage. Twenty-eight-year-old female, kidnapped by Shadow Garden and forced to produce materials for the Diabolos Order. Fifty-seven-year-old male—“
“Stop joking around—!”
Alexia threw the document away.
“How can you believe a piece of paper like this? This is a fabrication!”
“Princess Alexia, you are not a good listener. Do you think these people are lying?”
“They could have fabricated any number of things!”
“Of course we have physical evidence. This is from Shadow Garden–“.
“I’ve had enough of this!”
Alexia shook off Habu’s arm as he tried to hand her something.
Habu’s eyes narrowed.
“Sister, please wake up. Why do you trust this man?”
Iris turned away from Alexia, who clutched at her.
“It is you who should wake up, Alexia.”
“Please, sister. The right hand of Diabolos is about to be freed!”
“You have been deceived by the Shadow Garden, Alexia. All those you think are members of the Diabolos Order are separate units of the Shadow Garden.”
“No, sister! Please, listen to me!”
Alexia extends her hand to Iris, who turns away from her.
Patch.
Alexia’s hand was rejected.
“No way……”
“My enemy is Shadow. Even if you are my sister, I will not tolerate anyone who gets in my way.”
With that, she left.
“The Red Knights are busy dealing with the Shadow Garden. If you’ll excuse me.”
Habu said with a triumphant look on his face.
Alexia watched her sister’s back in dismay.
“Princess Alexia.”
She called out and looked next to her to see a familiar face.
“Marco …….”
He is an early member of the Red Knights. He was still young, but trusted by Glenn, and assumed that he would succeed Glenn.
“I am sorry, Princess Alexia.”
Marco says this without making eye contact with her, and then walks away.
“Marco …… you too?”
He did not answer the question. The knights carry away the head librarian’s body.
The forbidden book fell from Alexia’s hand.
