Never Die Extra

Chapter 333

Evan D. Sherden, Added Sub Party (3)

“This time, I will go with six people from the senior group, as we challenge the unknown environment. Let’s pick only two people to stay for now; one of them is Arisha.”

“I was expecting it, so it’s okay. I’m not pleased, but it’s okay…”

“And Mirole, can I ask you to keep the dungeon city safe while I’m gone?”

“Leave it to me.”

Arisha, the second Vice-Commander, will help the Knights run smoothly even while Evan was away. Mirole would fill the void of force.

“I’ll take good care of the city, so pay me in advance.”

“Advance payment?”

“Right here.”

Arisha pouted her lips. It seemed like Belois and Arisha were acting like babies day by day. However, after Evan gave her a small peck, he suddenly felt a gaze from his side. It was none other than Mirole.

“Is there anything for me, Commander?”

“Uh…what do you want?”

“Just kidding. Please have a safe trip.”

Evan answered nervously, but Mirole just smiled. Arisha looked disappointed in her expression.

“You know, Evan is my fiancé.”

“I know, Miss Arisha.”

“Arisha, stop misunderstanding.”

“But no matter how I see this situation…”

He kissed the grumpy Arisha several times to calm her down and told her something.

“Mirole is someone I can trust and leave the dungeon city to. Don’t fight for no reason, and please get along well.”

“I’m not a child anymore. Alright, if you say so. I’ll overlook my concern as a woman and get along with her… But I still didn’t get enough kisses from you. Load me up, and then you can go.”

“Sometimes, I miss when you were still an innocent child…”

Of course, Arisha often has an indifferent look on her face these days, but she became honest about Evan’s feelings and thoughts. It was a great thing, but sometimes it was burdening. He thought enjoying that kind of pressure was part of loving a person.

“Then let’s get going.”

“But Master, are you trying to rouse up Sherden’s underworld by creating your absence more frequent?”

“Yeah, well, that’s one of the reasons.”

There were so many things to do! There would be many occasions when he was away in the future, but Evan couldn’t lift his head up because it was an excuse for the main scenario.

“Master!”

When he headed to the Marquis with the Senior Group, Maybell was already waiting there, and when she saw him, she waved delightfully. Her neat black suit was giving off an intelligent look that wasn’t easily found in her. But strangely enough, but it wasn’t just that…

“Maybell, you look prettier.”

“Oh, my God, Master! Even if you say it so naturally…”

Maybell was happily twisting her body around, but Evan didn’t say that to seduce her. Belois, who was accompanying Evan, proved it.

“You look so much prettier.”

“Really? Maybe it’s because I changed my makeup. By the way, Belois, you’ve gotten prettier too. You are a fully matured woman now.”

“…Yes.”

“For real. I can’t believe I’m falling behind Belois.”

Wait, Evan thought these women just had a dangerous exchange of information! Evan looked around, nervous for a moment, but no one seemed to notice the subtle nuances in their conversation.

“Maybell, you…”

“Huh.”

When Evan gritted his teeth and turned around to Maybell, she was staring at Evan with a naughty smile. As expected, he couldn’t say that something had changed clearly, but she was more attractive than before. Perhaps the skills created while working as a representative of the company enhanced her appearance.

“It’s revenge for teasing me last time.”

“Phew…let’s just talk to my father and get going.”

Evan went to greet Marquis Soline with Maybell, who was smiling playfully and clinging to him. The Marquis was with his first wife, Redine, and she greeted Evan with a big smile. He could tell the reason without having to ask.

“There are so many fun things going on right now. What are you planning to do?”

“The scenario will be more interesting if I’m not around since I’m their ultimate goal.”

“Well, my son’s reputation has grown so huge that even the most prominent criminals are scared and running away. Why don’t you spread the rumor that something’s wrong with your health?”

“I was thinking of doing that, too.”

“Evan, I’ll start opening the gate, so come once you’re done.”

The only people who used the gate were Evan and six other Astray Senior Group members, and Maybell. The first destination was Leonine! As they left the gate, the chilly winter wind welcomed them.

“It’s colder than Sherden.”

“We’re about to move north. What’s going to happen to you when we arrive there if you are already cold here?”

“Shine, come here. It’s warm.”

Anastasia naturally called Shine, who pretended to be cold, though he wore only butler clothes every season. But as soon as she hugged Shine, a ghastly figure appeared.

“Oh, now you’re doing vulgar things in public.”

“Oh, octopus… Brother.”

“What did you just call me?”

It was Matthew. Since he was also a Prince, he could find out who was using the gate in advance. Evan was looking for a chance to run into him anyway, but it was good that he came first. Evan stepped forward and greeted him.

“Long time no see, Prince Octopus.”

“You just called me an octopus!”

“Excuse me. I bit my tongue. Prince Brainless.”

“No, you did it on purpose!”

“It was a mistake, Prince Matthew. So…”

He approached Matthew quickly and spoke.

“In the sense of apology, I’d like to give you my sincere advice just once. When you work together with someone, there are good people and bad people. The people you’re trying to cooperate with are the obvious latter.”

“What…”

“I mean it. I’m sure you understand.”

“…”

Matthew became pale and stiffened on the spot. Evan didn’t bother to say anything more to him and walked past him with his group. Shine approached him and asked.

“Is it okay for you to say that now, Master…?”

“I have to talk about it now. Whether Matthew obeys me or not, I can bring about a change in the situation either way.”

If Matthew didn’t understand, perhaps in a few days, the Duke Leonine family’s succession battle would end with Anastasia’s victory. If he still had a knack of understanding, he would be able to hold out being called Prince Octopus.

“Thank you for giving my brother a chance, Commander.”

This time, it was Anastasia. Evan shrugged back at her words.

“This was not only for Anastasia but also the Duke. And I just want Matthew to make a wise decision.”

Evan used the gate, so he would have to greet the owner, but the Duke was out of town. Evan split ways with Maybell. She was going to trade in Menaton and Leonine and head for the capital city by wagon.

“Then, I’ll join the people of the corporation. I’ll see you later in Sherden.”

“Do well, Maybell.”

“Yes, Master…well.”

“Have a safe trip.”

“Ahhhhh…!”

Since Maybell seemed to be procrastinating without thinking of separating from them, Evan kissed her first. Maybell, whose face turned red, ran away from Evan, clenching her fist and grasping her slimes. Evan felt an indescribably strange sensation when he saw her. He thought it didn’t fit with her image.

“Strange, now that Maybell’s attitude has spread to other girls, Maybell herself has become more innocent. Is it like getting over a cold by spreading it to others?”

“No way. That’s because her desire has reached its limit. So now, she looks as if she is back to square one, but…the moment it explodes, you will encounter a massive disaster, Master.”

“Shine, you’ve improved your ability to create scenarios.”

“I agree that she is suspicious. But she has always been suspicious.”

“So am I, but you guys are saying harsh things to Maybell so casually.”

Evan, guided by Anastasia, took his group and settled in the proper palace. Although Anastasia had indeed been away from Leonine for a long time, many servants and knights followed her, so there was no inconvenience in being guided to the castle.

“If you look at this, it’s like the game’s already over.”

“But the title of the eldest son is never to be taken lightly. If he hadn’t made mistakes, whatever I did in Menaton wouldn’t have mattered. The Duke’s position would’ve still belonged to him.”

And he was now on the verge of making the biggest mistake of his life. From here, what he did was important…Evan peeked through the room as if he were checking the security of the room he was guided in, and finally checked if the door was closed, then laid down on the sofa in the middle of the room with a sigh. Everyone lined up on both sides as if to protect him.

“Let’s wait here…What about the Duke?”

“He won’t be back for two days.”

“Two days.”

“We have to finish by then.”

Of course, it was never a coincidence that Evan arrived at Leonine just in time when the Duke went out for an inspection. Just as Evan left Sherden to make it easier for criminals to work their plans, the Duke had to leave his palace to make it easier for criminals to work their plans. Yes, he tried to provoke a bunch of bad guys, the remnants of the cult left behind in Leonine. That’s why he provoked Matthew.

“Hmm, I didn’t expect Prince Matthew to contact the cult.”

“It was obvious. The nobles abandoned him, and he had limited means to defeat Princess Anastasia in a short time.”

It had been a long time since he learned that Matthew L. Leonine was connected to the cult. Even Duke Leonine didn’t know, but Maybell’s intelligence unit allowed him to receive the information and prepare in advance. Evan wasn’t very surprised to hear that. Rather, he was amazed at the idea that Matthew managed to make such a dangerous deal without being caught by his father. But that was enough. Those who appeared as the main enemies of Yo-Ma Great War 4 were human trash, who boasted the worst combination of pseudo-believers and black magicians who believed in false gods. They were evil people that must be taken out completely, and if Matthew tried to get involved with them…he should take out Matthew with them.

“What’s Matthew’s move?”

“I’ve made the Ghost Lady follow him. She’ll call me as soon as Matthew shows any suspicious behavior. …Oh, it’s already here.”

[Master, he’s amazing.]

The next moment, the Ghost Lady suddenly appeared in front of Evan and Shine. Perhaps it was just her mood, but she boasted a vivid appearance, indistinguishable from humans.

[He cast a black spell in this castle. Or was this already here before?]

“What?”

[One thing for sure is that black magicians are lurking in the castle. I hear they are starting the operation right away tonight. They are grinding their teeth while targeting the Prince.]

Evan frowned when he listened to the report. Anastasia had a terrible look on her face…while Belois calmly prepared for battle. But Matthew seemed to be more impatient than Evan.
