Your Majesty, Please Behave Yourself

Lucimia bowed deeply, her pale face flushed with shame.

As the eldest daughter of the Barron family, the biggest shadow in her life is only her unsurpassed father, and she has never bowed her head to anyone other than him. Until today, she has suffered a big blow!

At this moment, her feelings were extremely complicated.

“Miss Lucimia! You are…” The officers from the Administrative Bureau were all dumbfounded. They never imagined that one day, the majestic Miss Inspector would actually lower her stance to such a low-level.

They know that the Administrative Bureau is running rampant in the royal capital.

Even the Empress’s reputation might not work here.

But now, Miss Inspector is actually lowering her head to a destitute noble!

“Mind your business.”

Lucimia continued bowing, “This is my business alone and I am willing to admit defeat!”

Everyone looked at each other and finally looked at the boy at the end of the corridor.

Licinius pressed his forehead hard and sighed, “This is the price of being stubborn! Why? This matter is not as simple as you think, Miss Lucimia.”

But he doesn’t intend to give these people a pass now.

“That purification magic in the confession room couldn’t kill him at all! It’s simply rubbish!”

When the holy light fell on him, he felt that his soul was evaporating and fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, only a minute had passed.

Rubbish!

Lucimia took a deep breath and seemed to be struggling to speak,

“Yes, yes. Most people are innocent, only that Cecil is interested in black magic and needs a little punishment.”

During the hour-long hypnotic interrogation, she failed to catch anything of value.

The only thing that can be confirmed is the judgment of the young man in front of him.

Regarding the kidnapping incident yesterday, the reason why all the hostages could be rescued without casualties was all because of the young man in front of her and his attendant. As for that rubbish brass adventurer squad, and the third garrison, they didn’t provide the slightest help!

“So this is how the Administrative Bureau works?”

Licinius said helplessly, “Did your father teach you this?”

  Lucimia pursed her lips at the mention of the subject and said, “My father never taught me anything. He said that I don’t have the talent to be a detective, and I’m not worthy to take over the Bureau.”

Constance Barron, father of Miss Inspector.

One of the three giants of the Brentania Empire.

‘Your father is right.’

Licinius comforted, “Don’t take it to heart.”

Lucimia hummed softly.

“Because you will face more blows in the future.”

Licinius shrugged, “My stupid Miss Inspector, your lack of intelligence is astounding!”

The officers and onlookers almost felt their scalps go numb listening to this conversation.

People living in Loma City may not know the name of this Inspector Miss, but she is the ultimate interrogation madman in the empire. When she sees torture tools, she will be so excited that legs would start to shake.

She has publicly denied that it’s her fetish and claimed it was just a pastime to relieve her boredom.

Too bad no one believed it.

Because in each interrogation, although she did not personally participate, she was flushed with excitement each and every time. Without exception.

This is the first time she has been lectured in public.

Major Hayden thought it was over.

This time, it wasn’t a question of possible forbidden knowledge leak.

The possibility of death is on the table.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Lucimia lowered her head, squeezed the soft flesh on her thigh, lowered her posture, and said, “Yes, Master Licinius. I… I am an idiot…”

For some reason, though being lectured in front of subordinates is a very humiliating thing, but her face had a trace of… excitement?

Imagine that you are a very prestigious woman, and all the surrounding subordinates are respectful to you, and one day you find an interesting teenager and plan to subdue him by your own means. But you never thought that you’d accidentally slip, causing you to get tamed by the other party, then scolded in front of your subordinates rudely.

The more she thought about it, the hotter her face got, and softer her voice became, “So, how did Master Licinius decide that black magic has nothing to do with those students?”

“Why do you ask? Don’t you have the ability to think for yourself?”

Licinius angrily said, “If these people really master black magic, would they be in a situation like this? Knowing that Loma City is about to be controlled by the military, why would they stay here? In fact, from the day the front-line troops withdrew, the riots in Loma City became less and less.”

The reason is very simple: people cherish their lives, and the thugs did not dare to take the wind out of their sails.

Lucimia was taken aback.

“Secondly, there was a problem with the kidnapping incident that day. Although it can be interpreted as the last frenzy of the thugs, after the criminals were silenced the next day, things became abnormal.”

Licinius thought that since he can’t achieve death here, he could give the inspector lady a little hint, “This means that there are people behind this group, and they can kill these people without so much as a hassle. Their methods must be extraordinary. How could they hide in this group of students and let you interrogate them?”

Lucimia blinked and seemed to understand.

“If they were caught, they would most likely commit suicide on the spot.”

Licinius rudely said, “Obviously, someone is misleading you. They just want you to interrogate these civilians on a large scale, thus wasting your time, or reaching ulterior conclusions! Stupid!”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air again as he called them idiots, so brave!

Lucimia struggled to maintain her dignity, blushing and lowering her head.

“Oh, I see…”

Upon closer inspection, her delicate body under her white trench coat was trembling slightly.

 

In the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, Triya put down the communication mirror, sorted out the information, and wrote it down on paper.

“Your Majesty.”

She said respectfully, “Please take a look.”

The Empress took the piece of paper expressionlessly and glanced at the information on it.

Unexpectedly, they were unable to prevent the dispatch of the Administrative Bureau by various methods in advance, but now this group of people has given up the large-scale interrogation of the civilian class in the city, which is incredible.

And in response to the unprovoked deaths of those prisoners, an investigation team was established.

This also means that the target of the bureau’s investigation is no longer their secret forces.

But the people of Archduke Joachim!

The Administrative Bureau is the only department in the empire that remains neutral. Many parties have fought hard to gain the support of this group of people, but in the end, they achieved nothing. Most people gave up this idea and adopted another way of thinking. Since they won’t join them, they can only use them.

After all, the main purpose of the bureau is to investigate cases.

As long as there is a case, with a little design, it’s easy to make them work for them.

Just like this time.

Lucimia, the inspector, has always hated black magic.

Therefore, she was invited, and she planned directly and drastically sweep the city of Loma, investigating every corner.

But this time it was Licinius who stopped her!

User of black magic, Licinius!

“Interesting!”

The Empress asked, “How did he do it?”

Triya shook her head and explained, “Major Hayden wasn’t able to inquire either, and for some reason, Miss Lucimia treated them very badly, including the principal, teachers, and students of the Royal National Knights Academy. She also called them greedy and vain, pigs that can only bully the weak. The major was very aggrieved. “

The Empress raised her eyebrows, “It’s strange, Licinius was able to handle that woman. That’s a surprise, but also great merit. He should be commended. Since our dark horse is temporarily safe, we will send more people to protect him. The administrative bureau doesn’t know about the existence of ‘Dawn’ due to lack of information, but they may be targeting Licinius.”

The black magic organisation that Archduke Joachim cultivated was called Dawn.

Although Licinius was temporarily safe, he was involved in the kidnapping incident yesterday after all.

There is a high probability of being caught in the end.

“Understood. There is one more thing you need to pay attention to, Your Majesty.”

Triya reminded, “Licinius can ignore the church’s holy light of purification. Major Hayden saw with his own eyes that he repeatedly deceived the body in the coffin of the martyrs in the confessional room, jumping left and right…”

The Empress’ expression suddenly became strange.

 “Black magic that can ignore the purifying holy light?”

She murmured.

Unheard of.

It’s common sense that the nemesis of black magic is the light purification magic of the church.

“What is Licinius doing now?”

The Empress asked.

“According to the information from the president of the Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce, Noren went to purchase a batch of alchemy materials and waited for Licinius at the gate of the military base. After the two met, they went home together as usual… But our people noticed something.”

Triya said, “That lady sword demon seems to be paying attention to them.”

 

At dusk, the roof of the military base.

Novia stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the carriage driving towards the alley, her pretty face like frost.

The wind was howling, and her long silver-white hair was swaying in the wind, like flowing mercury.

“He’s just a despicable, failed replica. He didn’t even inherit one ten-thousandth of my talent. How dare he? What has he experienced in these ten months? There’s that nasty Noren, who’s still fighting for this man…”

She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.

No, she shouldn’t get carried away with anger.

Often those who are controlled by emotions do not end well.

What’s more, the other party also holds her biggest secret.

Novia once read a magazine called Diary of a Female Adventurer.

In the diary, there are several elements that some female adventurers have summed up with their own personal experiences.

[Explicit clothing is strictly prohibited during combat.]

[Stay away from vines and tentacles.]

[Don’t be defeated by goblins in the wild.]

[Don’t be captured by hordes of orcs.]

[Never allow a lecherous male to get hold of your secrets.]

Novia has been strictly following these points, but she didn’t expect to roll over at the last point.

She can only pray that Licinius is not lustful any more.

The problem now is that she needs to re-examine this sibling relationship.

She even regrets what she did before.

“It’s better to tell him about the marriage contract first. Anyway, this matter is purely my father’s idea.”

Novia said softly, “But what reason should I use to knock on his door?”

Suddenly, she frowned.

She saw a black shadow shuttle in the dim sunlight, closely following the distant carriage.
