Arcturus is in a hurry to get Alda to safety. Even if Rentaro— Reigen wants to leave, but there is no guarantee this will all end just like that.
He still had some business to do with Silverstone, besides Leona should have started moving to the next stage.
“I need to form an identity for the future.”
One goal has not been achieved which is very necessary in the future.
“Young Master-!”
Surprised that Arcturus passed Mary on his way. That's worth being grateful for Mary showing up at the right time.
“Thank God you're okay, Young Master! I'm worried something happened to you.” Mary looked as unsettled as she usually did. “Even Miss Evelyn was equally worried.”
Arcturus did not expect Evelyn to care about him, but perhaps the woman was worried about something else. Rather than Arcturus' death, Evelyn might have been more worried about Shin and his father's anger if something happened.
“Don't worry, I'm fine. Apart from that can you bring Alda? He's already lost quite a lot of blood.”
Mary stared at Alda's apprehensive condition. He had no idea what was happening but his opponent must have been too strong even for Alda.
As one of the bodyguards, Mary knew very well that Alda was still hiding a powerful force. Seeing an extremely strong person injured this badly made Mary wonder what the strength of her opponent was like.
“Understand, Young Master. But what will you do?”
“I'll catch up as soon as possible so don't worry. Please yes, Mary!”
Arcturus leaps into the trees and disappears from Mary's sight quickly. It was surprising that Arcturus could kick the air and move that fast with a very minimal sound.
Her skills were almost like the great killing techniques Mary had witnessed. Even so it seems that the Arcturus technique is on a different level.
“I have to be fast.” Mary took her handkerchief to cover Alda's blood-soaked face.
Even with the worst of circumstances this woman remained charming so Mary was so envious of this perfect beauty.
Just in case she was going to cover it up, after all Mary understood why Arcturus did not want others to know. This beauty was able to cause a war just to fight over it.
Immediately Mary headed for refuge, on the way she met a person she did not expect at all.
“You are the subordinate of Young Master Arcturus, right? It seems that girl too. I've been allowed by the Princess to take care of you if things are bad.”
Mary was silent and looked on with caution. After all, it was not that he did not know the old man in front of him. Mary clearly recognized him.
Precisely because he knew her there were more things to consider.
“Do not worry. I've sworn allegiance and there's no way I'll go against my master. Besides from what I heard the Princess made a deal with the Young Master you cared for, Mary.”
“I don't think you remember me anymore, Albert.”
Knight with tanned skin and hair smiled wryly, “Where might I forget a comrade in arms?”
Even with the wrinkles on his face, the knight still looked young and dashing. Mary was a little envious of how youthful she looked. Albert would be perfect if there were no terrible black wound on his neck to his left cheek.
“Alright then.”
There is no need for Mary to be suspicious again if she finds out Arcturus is in a relationship with Blodwyn. After all, Mary knew Albert well, the man who would not lie.
“I didn't think you were alive since the incident.”
Albert was a knight who swore allegiance to the third queen, Blodwyn's deceased mother. Mary thought this guy might have burned to death but apparently his luck was good.
“I survived but could die at any time, Mary. In this old age I am grateful to be reunited with an old friend.” Albert has a longing and nostalgic tone.
“We'll talk later, Albert. Can it move faster?”
“My body may age, but not with my bones and soul. Can you follow him?”
Mary just snorted, “Same as you, age doesn't make me weak.”
The two rushed as fast as the wind immediately towards the residence where Blodwyn rested.

Leona was leaning at the entrance to the Silverstone residence. With his ability he rendered all the guards unconscious and exposed to the illusion of his mist.
The Third Eye Ogre was a race that was skilled in this kind of guerrilla attack.
“What is the use of these papers?”
He managed to infiltrate the Silverstone residence and steal the requested documents. But Leona had absolutely no idea what could be done with a stack of paper.
He also freed the hidden slaves. Their condition was very miserable, some could not understand Leona at all.
“I have also set fire to the slave warehouse which is also a research and weapons warehouse.”
The explosion was larger than expected but Leona was satisfied with the blessing. In any case, this young master of nobility had kidnapped many of his brothers and sisters. That's reason enough to do this.
“You did well.”
Leona was surprised that Arcturus suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Though he was already very vigilant, it should be easy for him to know when someone is approaching.
“... You are quite great. Not many people can avoid my supervision.”
“Yeah, I have a special artifact for that.”
Arcturus entered the residence casually while wearing a mask and hood to hide his face.
“Cute with me.”
Leona just followed behind him without much talking. He did not know what this noble youth wanted to do. Leona could not guess at all, Arcturus Religia was a noble who she thought was really strange.
They were heading towards a pretty magnificent library. Arcturus headed for the fireplace in the library. Leona looked with interest as Arcturus turned the silvery stone over her.
Immediately the fireplace shifted and revealed a secret staircase leading downwards. It's surprising that there's a room like this.
“How do you know it?” Leona was quite curious about that.
“Every nobleman should have one secret place. The way I know it is of course a secret. Come with me.”
Arcturus led the way down the stairs that were especially for one person to walk through. Leona followed behind him with a hint of curiosity.
If he says that every nobleman has one, then Arcturus must have one in his house. But of course the use of this kind of building depends on the nobility itself.
“What's in it?” leona asked as she began to feel something. “I smell the carcass.”
Hearing Leona's explanation made Arcturus furrow his brows.
“This is hell.”
Arcturus was convinced that Leona did not understand what he meant. But it will become clear when they come in and see what is in front of them.
What a terrible sight. In this vast underground chamber, various female bodies were hung even until some were rotting.
