Jungkook tilted his head and stared at the emperor. And he glanced at the daughter of Viscount Cerevis.
At this moment, a memory flashed through his mind.
Cerevis. A family that had been pushed out of the capital for a long time due to misconnection two generations ago.
However, they did not stand out only externally, and they were a family that was more active underground than anyone else.
A drug dealer secretly favored by some filthy nobles.
And a brothel operating illegally on the night streets outside the capital.
Behind them was Viscount Cerevis.
This was a fact that Jungkook learned during the process of identifying the source of the potion that Marquis Elody once tried to give him through Lalisa.
Jungkook, who finished his thoughts in a brief moment, quickly made up a bright smile.
"I do not know what to do, Your Majesty, because you have spared no heart for this nephew."
The emperor, whose eyes widened for a moment in response to the gentle reaction, nodded with satisfaction.
"You are like my son, so it's only natural for me to use my heart."
At those words, a smirk passed from Jungkook's sullen smile. Soon he let out a meaningful voice.
"However, I didn't know that the Viscount Cerevis was a family to Your Majesty."
Saying so, he glanced at the woman sitting quietly for a moment, and she replied shyly with a smile of hope.
Jungkook, who had a slight frown at the sight, turned his gaze to the emperor again.
It was in an instant that the happy face of the emperor was broken.
"Is it safe to assume that Your Majesty is behind the black market managed by Viscount Cerevis?"
As expected, the emperor began to falter with his mouth slightly open. He immediately tried to hide his shaking face.
Jungkook, who had been watching the funny thing for a while, continued to speak slowly.
"I'm very curious. How can Viscount Cerevis, who was pushed out of the court, manage such a large-scale organization? Now that question is resolved."
Unless there was someone behind him, the Viscount, who had no power, could not so secretly spread his powers underground.
As long as the emperor supported and tolerated it, anything could happen.
"...I have absolutely no idea what the Grand Duke is talking about."
