"Until the match ends tomorrow, stay quiet... I won't let you go if you leak even a word."

Ellenia's voice was as cold and calm as always.

One wouldn't believe she was the one who saw a shocking incident a while ago.

Freya, who seemed to be staring blankly at a distant mountain, slowly turned her face.

"Ellen, I'm... I don't know what the hell is going on."

"......"

"Really... Isn't this crazy? I didn't expect that, but that rumour was actually...."

Freya's reaction was not unreasonable. It was very natural.

Nevertheless, Ellenia could not control herself.

The anger rising in her exploded almost immediately.

Furthermore, ironically, she felt that her anger was directed not only to the Borgian siblings but also to everyone else.

"Didn't you hear me tell you not to say anything? Do you take Omertas' words as a joke?"

A chill cold enough to make her body shiver ran down her back.

Freya, who was staring at her friend with her purple eyes wide open, soon closed her mouth and bowed her head.

Somehow, Ellenia didn't feel like apologizing, so she let Freya move away on her own.

Instead, she silently turned to the two shaken knights lighting the leaf cigarettes.

"Say something."

"But the princess just said not to say anything..."

"I knew something troublesome would eventually happen, so it's just bad luck. She's a part of the Omertas after all."

It meant that this was the work of the Omertan family. And there was no need for a fellow Omerta to question her own family member.

At the same time, however, Omertas were also a part of the Longinus Knights. Paladins who pledged allegiance to the Holy Grail and defenders of the North.

"I don't even know what I'm thinking right now. I-I don't even know what I saw. Someone please tell me that a beast cub who had a crush on the Duchess crawled in and made us hallucinate."

Ivan muttered with an unfamiliar look because he couldn't get this incident out of his mind.

Seeing that he didn't even say any swear words, he seemed to be quite shocked.

Camu, who released smoke from his mouth with a nearly similar look as Ivan, his unique feisty expression missing, hit Ivan's side.

He didn't seem much like a Paladin at the moment. Ellenia stopped frowning.

She also understood Ivan's mood, but was this the time to talk about hypotheses?

"I agree that we have to keep it a secret until Izek finishes the game tomorrow..."

Camu's slow tone was dry and rough in contrast to his pale face.

"What are you going to do next?"

"What do you mean?"

"The festival doesn't end tomorrow, as you know. Are you going to keep your mouth shut until then?"

Whether or not to take into account the conflict with the Vatican.

Ellenia felt a headache building up.

It was not just that it was hard to tell, but if Izek heard what they just saw, they couldn't guarantee how it would turn out.
