The Im Not Main Character
Admired, Surprised, and Afraid

The incident that happened at the Moon Banquet was quickly widespread. It only took less than a week until the entire Knight kingdom found out.

The news that one of the commanders of the Black Parade organization had appeared in the Silverstone region was quite stirring, but the one of concern was the Silverstone nobles.

They are known to have dark business and sadistic behavior in the basement. With the help of Shin who was assigned to be the royal investigation team, Silverstone was successfully summarized.

The landowner, Count Regg Silverstone was shocked after returning from the border of the village of Third Eye Ogre. He did not expect all of his dark secrets to be revealed just like that.

He tries to evade about his documents but Shin cleverly drops the footage as the final bomb.

It was a dead move for Regg Silverstone who exerted every effort to lie about the documents. There would be many loopholes from the previous story if he were to patch it up with lies again.

And, after all the kingdoms began an investigation of the figure who introduced himself as "Orphens" and exposed the rottenness of Silverstone.

Although he was considered meritorious but based on the testimony of nobles, Bellion even Blodwyn, the Orphens did not hesitate to antagonize the kingdom. Thanks to his words that his figure is quite highlighted until investigated its origin.

The man who called himself Orphens came suddenly and disappeared in one blink of an eye. Thanks to that action made the noble become wary, timid of his fate just like Silverstone.

“The death sentence is the best for them. Not many occasions where the whole noble family in pasung.”

Arcturus smiled with satisfaction and sipped his coffee while looking at the morning sun. The fall of Silverstone was a great start. Mary by his side heard him with interest.

“It appears that your plan was successfully implemented, Young Master Arcturus.”

“Yes, more or less like that. Although the appearance of Black Parade was beyond expectations but everything ended well.”

Can't say it's entirely good. It had been six days since then and Alda was still lying on his bed. All his wounds were terrible regardless of his waist.

His body was completely beaten up and some parts of his bones were fractured. Because the healing potion was useless for his body, and his Mana was sealed, Alda needed a short time to recover.

Even so it remains a miracle the woman was able to survive after all. At first the healers resigned to his condition, but they were surprised to return in one day.

Even without Mana or potion, Alda's healing ability was still faster than a normal person. It still takes time to recover, but it won't be as long as expected.

‘Lucky curse and poison not working on his body. Rentaro Reigen's ability to instill curses.’

“I really still underestimate you, Young Master Arcturus. At first I thought destroying Silverstone would be a big, hard goal even if you were smart. It takes skill and experience to play this kind of scheme.” Mary praised him with admiration.

Of course Arcturus never said it would directly destroy Silverstone and obliterate its lineage. Before working for Religion, Mary was the head of state intelligence.

It was easy for him to guess Arcturus' plan after he left his scent. But there was one thing he misunderstood.

“What does it mean big destination? This is just a bonus of my ultimate goal. Recall the things I did from the beginning.”

Dropping nobles is not easy but there is an endless way like this. Arcturus could have done it but there are conditions he is trying to live with.

“What? So Silverstone isn't the goal you've reached? Then, then what—”

“If you just want to destroy it then why do I need to pay Makarov to poison the river?”

Destroying the cold war of Third Eye Ogre and Silverstone by poisoning the river. Arcturus had his own purpose.

“Didn't you want to keep Mr Regg and his wife away from the Moon Banquet?”

Regg Silverstone was a very alert and calculating man. His existence would only be a hindrance to Arcturus.

Even his wife, Felis Silverstone also completes her husband. He has perfectionism and a keen sense of smell. With his presence alone Arcturus definitely could not take many steps.

Naturally Mary would have thought of that, but she would not have been able to guess Arcturus who looked further ahead.

Arcturus pulled out a horn from his pocket and let Mary see it.

“It-!” Mary was surprised to see a blackish-red horn that had rune carvings.

Arcturus smiled, “Key to Third Eye Ogre village. Since the beginning my destination was in this place.”

The Supper of the Moon, Silverstone, even Leona were the bridges that Arcturus used to achieve his goal. Arcturus then explained his entire plan to Mary.

He deliberately provoked Third Eye Ogre and worsened his relationship with Silverstone. They certainly had a small clash because of that so Regg needed to step in.

Taking advantage of this, Arcturus decided to free Leona White and put her in debt. With his presence it would be easy for Arcturus to look for evidence of Silverstone's decay.

Not getting there, Leona will definitely free the slaves of her countrymen, making Arcturus have greater service to her so as to get an invitation to the village.

With things going on, it was certain that Third Eye Ogre would realize that Arcturus was the one who brought down Silverstone.

That one village will likely love it and be willing to return the favor for it. That is what Arcturus was looking for. A debt of gratitude from one Third Eye Ogre village.

Mary who listened intently almost forgot to breathe. He was too amazed, surprised and frightened by what Arcturus thought.

‘Really I don't know anything even though it's been a long time with him. Young Master has very far-sighted plans ahead, almost as if his plan is the future itself.’

It was a complicated and rambling plan, but the benefits received were enormous.

“Third Eye Ogre in this region is a little special. Although it is called a village, it is said that the place is not at all the size of a village. Even entering it is very difficult.”

For greater or lesser Arcturus himself did not know. The explanation in the novel was very vague, and his previous life did not offend the village area.

What Arcturus got from his previous life was about how much benefit he could obtain from this village.

“Exactly," Arcturus flicked his finger. “Only people who have keys can enter legally. Those who forcefully break through will only be hunted.”

Even the Black Parade did not touch this place for that reason. After all, there was no benefit whatsoever in touching such a place.

“I want a little thing from that place. So, well we will visit it as soon as all this is done.”

Geck! Geck!

Someone knocked on the door of his room and immediately Arcturus let out a tired sigh when he heard a voice behind the door.

“This is me, Mr. Arcturus.”

Soon the door opened and featured a clad woman with red hair. It was Blodwyn.

‘I have to give an explanation.’

He had already delayed the explanation of what had happened earlier to this day. It seems that Arcturus does have to share information about Rentaro and Reigen.
