Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Kaguya returned to the Margrave's estate together with Emilia. They made it back before nightfall—thanks in no small part to Kaguya's assistance. She had no intention of spending the night outdoors. Besides, she still wanted to enjoy the drama that was about to unfold. That's why she pushed for them to get back quickly.

Ram, Rem, and Emilia were surprised at how quickly they returned. That was fast! Though baffled, none of them dwelled on it.

No sooner had they returned than another maid rushed toward them in a panic.

"Lady Emilia!! Something's happened—The Margrave... he's dead!!"

That grim news struck everyone like lightning. Everyone's faces changed. Ram and Rem were shocked. The Margrave was dead?

Kaguya, too, put on a shocked expression.

"What happened? Take me to him—quick!"

With that, Emilia, Ram, and Rem rushed off.

The estate was large. Contrary to what the anime might suggest, there were many maids here—not just Ram and Rem. They were the head maids.

The other maids were in a frenzy. The Margrave had died suddenly in his study. It was terrifying.

The group rushed over quickly. When they arrived, there were already others at the scene.

A petite girl stood observing the corpse.

"Beatrice!! What happened?!"

Seeing Beatrice there, Emilia immediately questioned her. What had occurred here? Why had Roswaal died so suddenly?

Beatrice wore a grave expression.

"I don't know! It looked like sudden death... but it's more like his soul was erased."

"Whoever could do this is incredibly dangerous."

"It might have been the Witch Cult!!"

Beatrice's face remained grim. Someone had infiltrated silently and killed Roswaal. It was horrifying.

If they could eliminate Roswaal, they could surely kill anyone. That much was clear.

Beatrice hadn't detected any residual presence. She had even used time magic to reverse the scene. Still, there were no traces. Just a sudden contraction of the pupil—and then nothing.

She couldn't tell who had done it. It was insane.

"The Witch Cult!"

Everyone's heart sank upon hearing the name. Emilia and the others knew full well what that meant. Now, no one could stay calm.

The Witch Cult had infiltrated the kingdom—and killed the Margrave. This was serious.

Ram and Rem's expressions darkened.

"What do we do now?"

Although Kaguya knew who had done it, she couldn't say anything at the moment. So what now?

"Notify the council in the capital. Let the Knights take over here."

Ram took a deep breath and quickly made a decision. That was all they could do for now.

Everyone nodded. No one objected.

Emilia immediately used magic to contact the capital.

When news broke, many people were stunned. The Margrave was dead?

The capital erupted.

Roswaal was one of the kingdom's few elite magic users. Now he had been killed at home?

This was no trivial matter. Some people even began to suspect Emilia. But there was no evidence. And she had no motive.

After all, Roswaal was one of her main supporters. Why would she kill him?

Besides, Emilia had been in the capital earlier. Reinhard could confirm that.

In fact, upon hearing the news, Reinhard was the first to arrive. Even though it was late, he rushed to the estate.

Upon seeing the condition of the corpse, Reinhard frowned deeply. What was going on here?

He examined the scene, then looked toward Emilia, who was visibly upset.

"Did anyone touch the scene?"

Emilia shook her head.

"No. We've been using magic to try and determine the cause of death, but found nothing."

As she spoke, she glanced around. She had been too overwhelmed with grief to notice earlier. But now—was there something else?

Emilia froze.

Reinhard nodded, then continued examining the area. Soon, they discovered a pile of incriminating documents.

As they read through the evidence, Emilia's expression changed drastically. Ram and Rem were even more shocked.

Roswaal's crimes were laid bare.

Everyone was unsettled. They hadn't expected this.

Kaguya, however, was giddy inside. She hadn't thought Takumi would go that far!

"Don't touch anything yet! The Knights will be here soon. For now, go get some rest. I'll take over from here."

Reinhard's expression darkened slightly. He didn't like what he was seeing.

He hadn't imagined Roswaal would be guilty of such evil. But this could wait until the rest arrived.

Emilia nodded. She said nothing more. Her mind was adrift.

The Bowel Hunter was hired by Roswaal? And Ram and Rem's suffering—also his doing?

She was at a loss for words. Rem, especially, felt Roswaal deserved to die a thousand times over.

"Miss Kaguya, please come with me. I'll take you to your room."

Ram took a deep breath and didn't overthink it. She needed to settle Kaguya first.

Reinhard would handle the rest. There were far too many complications now. They weren't suited to continue getting involved.

Once Reinhard finished, he would brief them anyway.

Kaguya, of course, had no objections. Though she wanted to keep watching the drama, she let it go.

The group left Roswaal's study, leaving Reinhard behind to manage the situation.

After everyone washed up, the other knights began to arrive. They locked down the estate. Under Reinhard's command, operations commenced.

As for the lords and councilmen, they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

No one would be sleeping tonight.

Kaguya was arranged in a luxurious room. Given the favor she had done them, her treatment was exceptional. They regarded her as their most honored guest.
