An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead

Chapter 25

Of all people, Mirta happened to be a servant on the fourth floor.

In other words, he knew that I was a fake Ferro.

"How could he...?"

The issue at hand was not about the source of the leaked information. Typically, someone aware of the repercussions for breaking the rules would readily divulge the truth if they had someone protecting them.

In Mirta's case, there were only two households capable of shielding her from the wrath of the Argenta family: the Cartiel of Wind or the Alors of Water. Regardless of which side obtained knowledge about my secret, the consequences would be dire.

"Chase him immediately. Can we determine his location...?"

The contract didn't have a GPS tracker, so it wouldn't be easy. However, an answer emerged surprisingly.

"According to the shadows, he was last seen heading towards the northern border area."

"North?"

I knew it from looking at the map. If it was the northern region of Argenta...

"—Cartiel?"

The maid nodded in response to my question.

Vielle's expression was also deadly serious. It was because the contract was violated when someone leaked information about Argenta. Could it be that he has already disclosed the secret to someone from Cartiel?

As I recalled the map once again, I suddenly felt something was amiss.

'...But Cartiel and Argenta are separated by mountains. How did he pass it?'

No, there was no need to travel by land.

"The sea..."

"Madam?"

As Vielle gazed at me, I quickly turned to her.

In the absence of monsters, the endless sea was no different from any ordinary sea, right? A ship could sail upon it without difficulty. Moreover, if there were someone from Cartiel who could manipulate the winds by my side, we would have an advantage in terms of speed, surpassing any land route.

"They're going by ship. Find the nearest coastal area to set sail right away."

Vielle's eyes widened at my words.

"...Certainly, if he has someone from Cartiel accompanying him, that could be possible, but if that's the case, the ship would be racing at an incredible speed."

She calmly stated.

"If we leave now, we won't be able to catch up."

"No, we can do it..."

I muttered again.

"We won't know until we try."

Having stood before the sea in the past, I felt confident in my abilities. At least on the water, I believed I could hold my ground against Cartiel. After all, the domain of water belonged entirely to the Alors.

Vielle's eyes widened in surprise at my bold statement.

Around the time of Krua's departure, the monsters in the first zone were swiftly eradicated with Diello's intervention. Fortunately, there were no aberrant water-controlling monsters among them this time.

"Thank you, my lord."

Field Commander Amos bowed his head. He was taken aback by the unexpected presence of Diello, as he had only reported the invasion of sea monsters, not anticipating the head to come in person. In reality, the commotion wasn't necessary in the first place, but Diello willingly joined the battle.
