Chapter 67

Only then did Kainel slowly sit up.

Ceres rubbed her now-freed left arm.

Ugh, my arm is numb.

“What time is it?”

“Around 3 o’clock. There was another message from the palace just a moment ago regarding the corpse found in the capital…Sir Kainel?”

Del, who was giving his report, was taken aback when Kainel suddenly stood up and strode off without even responding.

Where is he going now?

“Guess he’s embarrassed.”

“…Sorry?”

Embarrassed?

Who? Sir Kainel?

“What kind of nonsense is that, like saying spring has come to the Duchy of Persia…”

“It’s true.”

When Del turned around, he saw that Ceres had already stood up as well, dusting off her clothes.

“But what was that you mentioned? A corpse?”

“Oh, this morning, a body was discovered near Delasi 1st Avenue…”

“Wait—hold on. Delasi 1st Avenue?”

This morning?

No way…

“Was it a man?”

“Still confirming identity, but yes, a man.”

“……”

Ceres thought of the man who visited her shop late last night.

She had joked to herself that it would be trouble if he died right after leaving… but surely, he hadn’t really died?

‘His cough did sound pretty serious…’

Still, it wasn’t that bad…

“Is something wrong?”

“Hmm… Just wondering if it’s someone I know.”

“Sorry?”

Ceres irritably swept her hand through her hair.

Now it’s bugging me.

“Could I… see the body, by any chance?”

“…Pardon?”

***

“This way.”

Following the guard’s lead, Ceres made her way to where the body was being kept. As she walked, she glanced beside her.

“Why are you here?”

The one walking next to her was none other than Kainel.

Del had said he would notify the city guard so she could view the body, but when she came out, there Kainel was, waiting up front.

“I’m the one this request was originally given to.”

So technically, you’re the one following me.

He said pointedly and walked ahead.

Del silently followed behind him, smiling to himself.

When the palace first requested that Kainel inspect the body, he hadn’t even reacted. And yet the moment he heard that Ceres wanted to go see it too…

‘The timing was… very curious.’

As always, Del kept those thoughts to himself.

“Here it is.”

With the guard’s guidance, they entered the room.

A body torn apart by something sharp was laid on a bed.

Del quickly glanced at Ceres’s face.

He was worried. The condition of the corpse was worse than expected. Would she be shocked?

He had been hesitant to bring her along when she said she wanted to see it. It wasn’t something a young noble lady should witness.

But when she said it might be someone she knew, he had no choice.

And yet…

“Hmm… Died instantly.”

…This calmness?

She approached the corpse closely and carefully examined the wounds. Del’s jaw nearly dropped.

‘I already thought she wasn’t ordinary…’

He’d known she was different—after all, she treated Kainel like no one else dared to.

But to be this composed in the face of such a gruesome sight?

Del subtly shook his head and turned to the guard next to him.

“Has the identity been confirmed?”

“Yes. A man named Zento, early forties. Known locally as a thug.”

“A thug?”

“Yes. Apparently, he was well known for getting drunk and causing trouble. Someone saw him staggering home after drinking heavily that day too.”

“I see.”

The more she heard, the less she understood.

Nothing unusual had happened—he was just going about his usual routine when he was suddenly killed by a monster?

As the others talked, Ceres continued to examine the body carefully.

‘It’s not the man from last night.’

Though half the face remained, this was definitely not the man she’d seen. Not only the face, but the build was completely different.

Should she feel relieved?

Click.

“…?”

At that moment, a new figure entered the room.

Del turned his head and his eyes widened before he quickly composed himself.

He bowed respectfully and stepped back.

The man who had entered was none other than Aserian de Devrica, the crown prince.

“You’re here too, Duke.”

Noticing Kainel, Aserian greeted him with a friendly smile.

Kainel simply nodded in acknowledgment and turned his attention back to the corpse.

Aserian did the same.

A corpse found in the heart of the capital—believed to be the work of a monster.

Everyone was shocked.

There hadn’t been a Black Forest incident, yet here was a body clearly killed by a monster. It was hard to believe.

“Still haven’t identified the type of monster?”

“No. Even the leaders of all the mercenary corps came to examine it, but none could provide a clear answer.”

“That’s troubling.”

The most important thing was figuring out what kind of monster it was. Only then could they begin to understand what happened.

But even those with decades of experience couldn’t name it?

“Shakera.”

“Definitely Shakera.”

Two quiet voices spoke at once.

“Shakera?”

Aserian turned toward the source.

It was Ceres and Kainel, still examining the corpse.

“The torn flesh is unusually deep. There aren’t many monsters with long, thick teeth like that.”

“Just looking at the wound tells you. The sticky saliva with that distinct metallic stench? That’s all the confirmation you need.”

“Still, just to be sure… Yep. There’s a small puncture in the stomach. A tentacle did that. And the burn marks? That means it releases heat during its attack.”

“Only one monster does that…”

“Shakera.”

Everyone silently stared at the pair exchanging observations as naturally as breathing.

‘What’s with that familiarity?’

They moved in perfect sync, as if this were something they’d done countless times before.

Kainel of Persia made sense.

He had protected the Duchy of Persia for over 300 years. No one on the continent had more experience dealing with monsters.

‘But her…?’

How could a young noble lady instantly identify what veteran guild leaders couldn’t—just by looking at the wounds?

‘And what is with that closeness?’

How did she know the Grand Duke?

Not long ago, she was working as an assistant for Chaian, and now she was serving the Grand Duke at royal meetings?

‘Is that why Chaian seemed upset?’

Even back then, something about her had seemed oddly… enigmatic.

“Shakera isn’t a common monster… How did this happen?”

“That’s what we need to figure out.”

…Also, was she really speaking informally to the Grand Duke of Persia?

Even the emperor addressed him formally.

Had anyone ever spoken so casually to him?

“Hey, look over here.”

“Hmm.”

Despite the amazement in Aserian’s eyes, Ceres and Kainel were so focused on the corpse that they seemed to forget others were even present.

***

“And so, the princess married the prince and lived happily ever after.”

“Yawn… Big sis.”

“Why? Want me to read more?”

Maybe because it had been a while since they’d seen each other, but Yulia was being unusually clingy today.

She brought five storybooks with her late at night and asked to be read to.

Ceres tucked her in and read each book fluently.

She was used to this.

Arthia had also been a clingy child, always begging her to read stories.

“Do you become happy if you marry a prince?”

“Well…”

…As if.

The moment you get married, your life basically goes to hell.

‘You live every day walking on a razor’s edge.’

Maybe if you’re the kind of woman who enjoys deadly political games, you’d call that happiness.
