Blaze was seen staring at this paper in his hand with such a serious look. His eyes moved and read every letter, word, and sentence on the paper carefully.
Not long after, he finished reading the paper and immediately sighed tiredly.
"What the fuck.... Why would Helios do this?" Blaze said slowly.
Blaze couldn't believe the information he just got from his best friend Arthur.
"Either... He may be too blinded by love or he is already consumed by other people's persuasion" Arthur replied in a calm tone.
Now they are both at Duke Allison's residence or rather at Arthur's residence. Blaze initially intended to visit his best friend's house but when he was here he instead received clear information that made him so shocked.
"Duke Curt was involved, wasn't he?" Blaze asked as he stared intently at Arthur.
"Who else if not him? He is the closest to Prince Helios besides his fiancee who is also his daughter" replied Arthur calmly.
"Where did you get this information?" Ask Blaze again.
"I got it from the Guild's information regarding the Empire's underworld. At first I was just looking for information about the nobles who were seen with the black market, but I didn't think that I had this information as well" Arthur replied.
Blaze clenched his hands furiously, "If this were to happen, it would not only be the reputation of Mother and Sister Castor in the eyes of the devastated people but there would be countless people who would become victims!"
That information is about poison buying transactions on the black market. The poison was Nerium Oleander. The poison made from the beautiful pink Oleander flower but all parts of it were poisonous, therefore the Empire itself had already banned everyone in the Empire from owning this plant. Therefore, this plant can only be found on the black market. And thanks to the information from the Guild belonging to Duke Allison's family, Arthur was able to find out who ordered the poison from this Oleander flower.
Only a few people knew that Duke Allison's family was the one who controlled the black market behind the shadow of the Guild with Duke Allison's confidant who was the chairman of the Guild that ran the black market. Not even Emperor Horus knew about this, only the late Emperor before him knew this from the Imperial Family and now there was Blaze who also knew this. The Imperial Party only knew if the organization that controlled the black market was a Guild yet they did not know about its 'shadow ruler.
Not to mention the information about the recruitment of some additional servants to help with the preparation of Crown Prince Castor's Birthday Party handled by Prince Helios and also Duke Curt. Some of the hired servants are known as assassins and from the information obtained by Arthur, they target Crown Prince Castor.
"Does Brother Castor know about this?" Ask Blaze slowly.
"He seems to know, but he hasn't made any movement at all" replied Arthur.
BRAKKK!!!!
"WHY IF HE KNEW HE WAS STILL SILENT???!!!!" Shouted Blaze with anger and disappointment. Really, he felt disappointed at his second brother who could have planned a murder on their own first brother and even planned to drop the reputation of their Mother who was handling this party.
It was clear what made the reputation of their Mother who arranged this party would be destroyed instantly because in the value of not being smitten because the poison that had been banned by the Emperor could enter and even poison the nobles.
"I'll beat up Helios right now..." Blaze muttered in a cold tone that held an enormous anger in his heart.
Hearing the danger signal immediately made Arthur act by installing barrier magic so that Blaze could not get out of this room.
"What are you doing, Arthur?! I'm going to beat up and hit Helios' head so that she's aware of what she's doing right now!!" Blaze cried to Arthur.
"Please yourself, Blaze. Don't act recklessly in this" said Arthur trying to appease Blaze.
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN IF THERE IS SUCH A PROBLEM IN MY FAMILY????!!!!" Shouted Blaze.
Blaze now seemed so frustrated. Anger, disappointment, disbelief and also sadness that enveloped him now. Blaze indeed felt that he was not close to his Second Brother. Blaze often visited him at the palace of Prince Helios, but his visit was always rejected by Prince Helios. And his second brother was even close to his fiance's family, even almost every day Bella who is the fiance of Prince Helios always came to the palace of Prince Helios.
"You better calm yourself first Blaze, if you suddenly come up with a temper like this, the situation might get even more chaotic. Now you better help me" said Arthur in a calm tone as usual.
"What's your help?! My problem is a lot!" Jerky Blaze.
Arthur now grinned faintly, "Help me gather evidence to destroy Duke Curt"
Blaze flinched, "Dropping Duke Curt... Is that your father's order"
Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "Not. This is my own content. I don't know why I felt so uncomfortable with him for so long. Not to mention when I visited his residence a month ago, I saw that almost all of the servants there had bruises on their bodies and it was obvious that they were very depressed by something. It just so happened that I also discovered a lot of crimes committed by Duke Curt, so I wanted to continue prying him even deeper to bring him down to the bottom"
"You're right..... I also felt something strange about Duke Curt.... Mother also seemed to dislike him so much and was also wary of him every time they met" Blaze said.
Blaze often saw the dense black smoke that surrounded the Duke Curt family, but the most common was Duke Curt's daughter, Bella. Every time Blaze sees Bella, he can barely see Bella's face because of the thick smoke that surrounds her body. That clearly makes Blaze suspicious that the Duke Curt Family is involved in a dark magic other than two people in a dream - no, in the future he saw when he was seven. He believes it is the future and not a nightmare because he himself found traces of his magic there. It is he who repeats time with time magic which is a special high-level magic that is very complicated and only a handful of people can do it, he said, it is almost the same as fusion magic but the difference is that fusion magic is natural in having since birth whereas time magic can only be learned. Blaze knew this because he could now use time magic.
Yep... Blaze knows that in the future there will be two people who use dark magic on his family. But Blaze himself did not remember about them because his memory of his own future was still blurred even now. But clearly he knew that one of them was his father's personal servant and also the two people that made his family's life was ruined. Blaze doesn't know about the future except when Vivi is burned alive, so he doesn't know that Prince Helios is doing this kind of thing either.
"All right, I'll help you. Duke Curt also persuaded Helios to do this, so let's drop her before Castor's Birthday Party" Blaze said with a serious look.
Arthur smiled thinly, his noisy best friend could also be serious like this if his family was nosy. And of course, Arthur trusted Blaze so much that he also revealed the secret of his family.
