What did Veltor hire them for?
This might be the real cause of Gion’s ominous feeling.
Firstly, to retrieve the discriminating evidence Gion had compiled against them.
Second, the abduction of Will.
They wanted to force Gion to join the Anti-kingdom using Will.

” Are we not there yet…?! ”
My displeasure leaked out unintentionally. Even so, in the rocking carriage, irritation was pilling up.
” John-sama, we will be reaching very soon. ”
The coachman said, trying to flatter me. I wonder what he was thinking behind that smiling facade.
This felt way too suspicious. Like the sudden summons. Even without that, with Mother in critical condition, why was the carriage taking its own sweet time? It was hard to believe if you told me it was just a coincidence.
I just had an unpleasant idea.
Were they planning anything again?
…It could not be… But…
This was Father we were talking about.
But even if anything happened, Gion-sama would be in that house. He was the strongest in this country.
[TN: Not anymore.]
I shook my head, trying to clear all my doubts away although that uncomfortable feeling continued.
It took 4 hours and finally, I saw the mansion coming into view. Just that alone made my hair stood. The scale of residence could not be compared to Beryl’s house but just looking at this house I felt revolted. I guessed this all boiled down to personal preferences.
The white solid building is inlay with gold flacks here and there and ornamented with gorgeous sculptures and at the front, roses. Just by listening to the description it sounded like a castle somewhere but how do I say it… It did not look classy at all.
Mother too, was one of them but she did give birth to me so I could only return to this house when I heard about her critical condition.
And so, I was greeted by my father and elder brother with a smile the moment I entered the house.
……….Shit. I had been tricked!
At the moment I glared at them, I felt a strong impact from behind and the next thing I saw was the floor.
Will…… Please be safe………!
