32. case being settled

"What am I? Lord Akto."
"……No……"
 
 When Leohart stepped forward, Akuto lowered his eyes and muddy his words. As expected, you can understand that it is foolish to give up Leohart in this situation.
 Instead, he pointed at Lars and glared at Elizabeth while exaggeratingly raising his eyebrows.
 
"Oh my God, isn't this a dragon! Who on earth could do something so dangerous—"
"Akto-dono"
"Marquis Acto"
"Acto-sama"
 
 Why did you throw a gun at Elizabeth? Elizabeth took a step forward, restraining Harold who was holding me back when I tried to step in front of her.
 Elizabeth smiles.
 For a moment, Akuto's face turned venomous to the angel's smile.
 There, dignifiedly as if to fold. Elizabeth uttered an ad-lib and unexpected line.
 
"This is our cat."
 
"Nu, Nyukyun"
 
"Ne, if it's a cat...!?"
 
 I was terrified by Elizabeth's unreasonable behavior, but Lars must have been more than that. With her mouth quivering, she imitated the meowing of a cat in a terribly painful manner.
 Once the contract is signed, the master's orders are absolute. If Elizabeth says white, the crow must be white, and if you say cat, you must be a cat. Reward... No, pity, Lars.
 
"That's right. Look at it. When you stroke its throat, it gurgles comfortably."
"Gu... guororororororo"
 
 wait. wait Elizabeth. Rath's eyes are shining because he's excited to purr.
 I felt sorry for Lars, who was trying to respond to the overly dazzling and direct trust, and I couldn't forgive her being touched by Elizabeth, so I turned to Harold.
 I've been prepared for times like this.
 
"Harold"
"Yes. Marquis of Orion Kingdom, Folgates Akto.
"...Abakarov...?"
 
 When Akuto heard Harold's surname, he looked puzzled. … Then slowly, perhaps slowly, as her brain understood the situation, her face turned pale.
 Harold nodded as he stared straight into those eyes.
 
“Yes.
 
 Just be polite and bow.
 Harold raised his head and pierced Akuto with an ice gaze.
 
“The fact that the Abakarov family pledged true loyalty to the Wysworth royal family?
"W--"
 
 Acto stiffens. Together, I also hardened. She had met Harold's older sister several times, but she was a gentle lady with a gentle impression. She seems to be mistrustful of people.
 It seems that Akuto was the same, his hands were trembling. Before long, it spreads all over her body, and the blood disappears from her face. After all, Harold and his older sister had silver hair, dark gray eyes, and facial features that looked just like each other. It's too obvious that the two are siblings.
 
 Harold had already turned a blind eye to Akuto and handed over a bundle of documents to the king.
 
“Here is the assassination order letter sent by Marquis Akto to Leohart-sama’s servants, and here is the information on the Orion Kingdom territory that was leaked to the Abakarov family. ”
"Roh, Leak!? Because the Abakarov family wants you to hide...!! So, I'm going to find some land!!"
"Incidentally, I let someone on my side investigate, and this guymagic crystalcrystalIt has also been investigated that the
"!!!"
 
 Following Harold, Leohart said as if he was trying to convince us.
 
"Just because the vein was discovered within the territory doesn't mean it's okay to embezzle it. Hey, Akto? Who is more unworthy of being your brother, me or you, who privatized the country's property? Or, think about it carefully...?"
"Wait, talk about that after we get home."
 
 I grabbed Leohart by the neck as he approached Akuto while wearing a dark aura that seemed to make the earth rumbling, and looked at the king and wife.
 The king and wife looked more troubled than before, but they still kept their spirits up.
 
"Guard! Take Marquis Akto to the antechamber. Watch for any suspicious movements."
"Ha!!"
 
 The guards running with tension on their faces due to the unexpected development.
 Akuto bites his lip frustratedly at the weapon-wielding opponent—and when he thinks that, his thick lips create a distorted grin.
 
"!?"
"Kukukuku... now that it's like this... I'll have to release my true power...!!!"
 
 Akuto took out something from the hem of his clothes.
 It is a part of the scales of Wrath we sent, and severalmagic crystalcrystalwas. Akto begins to chant dubious spells when they are squeezed together.
 A magic formation I've seen somewhere appeared at Akuto's feet—really.
 
"Evil incarnate! Manifest here now--!!"
 
 Miasma erupts from the evil dragon's scales and reacts with the magic circle.magic crystalcrystalThe scales that had taken in changed shape while trembling, and entwined with Akuto.
 
"Fufufu...!! It's a summoning of a real evil dragon...!! Unlike the cheap fakes out there!!"
"Kyuo?"
 
 Akuto with an evil smile while being eroded by the miasma. Lars tilts his head.
 I see, since Lars came after becoming a holy dragon and was told it was a cat, didn't he know that the owner of the scales was Lars?
 
 Akuto loses his human form in front of his eyes. I raised his hand to stop the soldiers from raising their weapons and attacking.
 no need to do that.
 
"... Do it, Holy Dragon Wrath."
"Kyuoh"
"I'll help you too!! It's the duty of a saint to protect the country!"
 
 Lars, who seemed to understand that he was being made a fool of, held his tail up.
 Miss Leisha no longer fears and confronts Akuto.
 
 
***
 
 
 Let me start with the conclusion.
 Naturally, it was an instant kill.
 Thinking about it calmly, the new Evil Dragon VS Saint & Holy Dragon tag team was too different in ability.
 
 No, for Miss Risha's sake, Akto didn't die. Rather, by bathing in the holy light during her transformation into an evil dragon, her miasma was properly purified and she was able to return to her human form.
 Acto, who had been pulled out by the soldiers, will never realize how happy this is...

 
 He got a successor and his spouse at the same time, and his inner pain was crushed. This is the real deal.
 If you look at Leohart, he's staring at Marius-dono and Miss Risha with a smile. But for someone like me, who has the same duality, I understood well that it was a smile that was made.
 Up until now, the one standing next to Marius-dono was his younger brother, Leohart. However, in the future, that position will be handed over to Miss Risha, who will become the Crown Princess.
 Even though he pulled the trigger himself, it must be complicated.
 
 If I thought that would make Elizabeth happier, I could at least step back, but... no, I wonder if I can.
 Only that point is clear, Leohart...
 
 Harold approached me and quietly whispered to me, who was looking at Leohart for a moment.
 
“I went to inspect the territory of Marquis Acto,magic crystalcrystalIt seems that it was Leohart-sama who discovered the ore vein of
"..."
 
 Are you really a psychopath? ?
 Acto, you're stuck in multiple layers.
 
"Well, Mr. Lars. Let's go back."
 
 Prompted by Elizabeth, Lars settled into Harold's basket. The gesture of flipping inside and sticking out the head is like a real cat.
 
"I'll build you a temple too.holy dragonSaint DragonI wonder if you will be enshrined as..."
 
 When I whispered, Lars in the basket let out a threatening sound.
