Chapter 195
Quang! Bang bang!
“! Please open the door!”
Although she was pregnant, Vivianna was unstoppable..
She parked her horse and Beric at the entrance, then climbed the stairs a couple of times and shook the iron door. Minnie was restlessly circling around her, wondering if she might get hurt..
It's good.
“Who are you??”
A loud noise was heard behind the double lock. Since this is a place where special information is vital, they keep competitors in check to the extreme and are suspicious of visits from outsiders..
The faint sound of a typewriter could be heard from inside. It appears that publication is in progress. Vivianna responded quickly, handing her ID through her bars..
“My name is Vivianna and I live at 2 West Ground. She is a former advisor to the reconstruction of the Imperial Palace and is currently on leave, and her husband is an aide to the Minister of Magic..”
West Ground is a luxury residential area where imperial officials mainly live. The man checked Vivianna's face with her ID card and then returned her head with a nod..
“What's going on??”
“I have something to report about the imperial palace..”
“You said your husband is an assistant at the Ministry of Magic, right? The name?”
The man narrowed his eyes as if testing. She checked her ID, but it was a matter of course.
“Romandro.”
This was exactly why Ian asked Vivianna. It was a matter of conveying the safety of Romandro, but more than anything, the belief was that since his identity was certain, the tip would not be easily dismissed..
The man put away his cigarette as he looked at her bulging stomach..
“His last contact with the imperial palace was lost when His Majesty Gale was attacked during the night. I received a call from inside..”
“what kind of contact?”
“It is said that His Majesty Mariv stole the Emperor's official seal and started a rebellion, and that His Majesty Gale also participated in the secret struggle, but both of them have now been stopped under the leadership of the Ministry of Magic..”
The man dropped his cigarette and opened his mouth in surprise..
After a few seconds of silence, he unlocked the lock with an urgent hand and opened the door. In an instant, the smell of stale coffee and cigarettes wafted in from inside. It was the smell of people pounding away at typewriters, burning their souls in the distance..
“Is that really true, ma'am??”
“Your Majesty is safe. We will finish cleaning up and open the castle gates at 5 PM today, so please leave before then..”
Vivianna checked the time by clicking her pocket watch. There is no time to continue writing, publishing, and distributing. She looked up at her man and continued her words quietly..
“This is all I know now. I'm going to go out right away and report this to Edo as well. It's up to you who will send the special report first. And be sure to include this phrase in the extra.”
“Ah, wait! for a moment!”
When Vivianna showed Ian's note and tried to turn around, the man grabbed her shoulder urgently. Reflexively, Minnie rolled her eyes and slapped the back of her hand roughly..
“How can you catch me so carelessly?!?”
“Excuse me, excuse me. I'm so embarrassed. But are the things you just said really true? If not, our heads will fall off. really.”
“This is a handwritten letter from Ian Hiello, Minister of Magic. The door will open at five o'clock. After that, everyone will know, so it will have no value as a special report.?”
The message was to stop talking nonsense and take pictures quickly. Then her man looked behind her and shouted to his colleagues..
“Everyone, stop writing.!”
“what's the matter? I almost wrote it all.”
“Another report came in. They say the instigators are Mariv and Gayle..”
Vivianna frowned in puzzlement. What are they saying now? Her man awkwardly took out a new cigarette and checked Vivianna's correspondence again..
“Two days ago, didn't a black hole appear in the sky? There are a lot of rumors that the Ministry of Magic has closed down the imperial palace and has been plotting things inside. Well, the informant said something similar..”
“Informant? Which informant??”
“I can't tell you that..”
“Is it for the protection of the informant, or is it because their identity is not honorable and they cannot be informed??”
The man was chewing the end of his cigarette. It was the latter, it wasn't said, but it was clear..
“You are the ones who only tell the truth.”
“Madam, it’s been three days. We, who print information sheets dozens of times a day, waited for three days. Since there is no news from the imperial palace, I will have to write at least something about the mystery. And especially if it's true. Of course, I did not intend to officially print it now, but only circulated it as a propaganda paper..”
-Those who take advantage of the confusion and try to fabricate things run rampant.
Vivianna read the afterimages of the people Ian had mentioned in the note. Her man and colleagues looked at the paper inserted into her typewriter, discussing something. When Minnie called for her master, not knowing what to do, Vivianna tore the paper from the typewriter without hesitation..
Well done!
“ma'am!”
“lady!”
She threw the piece of paper cut in half on the floor. If was writing such an article, there is a high possibility that other places are already in a similar situation..
‘In that case, rather than wasting time wandering around here and there, you should try to get the extras here first..’
It was kind of a battle of wits..
Other media outlets are also writing articles with no confidence and are keeping a close eye on the palace's movements. If you report the truth first, the fabricated article will naturally be discarded..
“you guys are lucky.”
“Madam, what are you talking about??”
“Because they are the first to reach the truth. Since the two grown-up nobles clashed and were overpowered, you probably know who is currently in power in the imperial palace..”
The Ministry of Magic, of course, and their leader, Ian Hiello. They instinctively realized that they were getting caught up in something unusual, and they also recognized that it entailed opportunity..
“You can't see a piece of fabricated paper throwing Bariel into chaos. Please take extra pictures first. So when the doors open at 5 o'clock, I will personally convey your merits to Secretary Ian..”
“in what way…….”
“I request exclusive priority access to everything that happened in the imperial palace over the three days..”
“Is it possible, is it possible??”
Vivianna nodded resolutely, and everyone in the office murmured again. Her husband is an aide to the Ministry of Magic, so it's not like he's a spirit. It's outrageous how they play with each other..
“lady.”
“Shh.”
Minnie held her arm anxiously, but Vivianna did not hesitate. I think Ian would also understand this level of overstepping his authority. Isn’t it important to tell the truth first?.
“But if you refuse-”
Kwaang!
At that time, an unknown noise erupted outside. The reporters flinched and looked back at Vivianna and her outside window. I wonder if it has something to do with her..
“I cannot guarantee your safety..”
“What do you mean by that??”
“I showed my ID card, and Ian sent a letter in his own handwriting and had his retainer, a magic swordsman, accompany him. Everything is proven and guaranteed! Nevertheless, refusing is an intention to confuse Bariel with false information. I will make that judgment and report it to Ian..”
Vivianna deliberately added strength to the word magic swordsman. This implicitly made it known that if the situation were to come to an end, we would have no choice but to push back by force..
The man and his colleagues rolled their eyes and brought a piece of paper..
“Please write the certificate. Exclusive publishing rights.”
“This is about the three days..”
“yes. If you write it, we will write it too..”
As Vivianna wrote the certificate without hesitation, the man ruffled his hair and rolled up his arms. The same goes for her colleagues. She went back to her seat, discarded her old paper, and put in her new paper..
click. Crack! widely!
“1Write in wealth size! When cutting, I will take 100 photos at a time..”
“There was a sentence earlier that said you must include it, right? ma'am?”
“Ah, here it is. It's written below the letter..”
“Let’s see, read it! Everyone write it down! 'Princes Mariv and Gale caused chaos in the imperial palace, but through the mediation of the Ministry of Magic, new soldiers were safely secured.' keep reading!”
“Wait, slow down! Once more!”
Kwaang!
Grumbling!
I thought it was an accidental loud noise, but it turns out it wasn't. Vivianna threw open her window in surprise, and Beric's eyes met hers. He was smiling brightly. He looked so bright that you wouldn't think he was facing off against people wearing black armor..
“Berwick!”
The guard who had followed as a guide was lying on the floor, bleeding. The identity of the roar was the sound that killed him..
“Oh, I'm okay, I'm okay. When does it end?!”
“How long does it take?”
Vivianna's heart dropped. I don't know where they came from, but their intentions are clear from the situation. These are people who are trying to spread fabricated rumors to stop Ian..
The man next to me was startled again and dropped his cigarette..
“Well, one of the printers just broke down, so it takes about ten minutes to print 100 copies. Normally, extravaganza is sprinkled along the central road from the imperial palace to the outskirts, but that's enough.…….”
“Results only!”
“One hour!”
“It takes an hour! Berwick!”
Beric laughed and spat at Vivianna's shout..
I had already seen the power of that armor in the imperial palace. It was 100 per day, and even though only half of it came in, it was so great that it temporarily revived the dying Gael forces..
Beric couldn't hide his excitement and laughed..
“I know who you guys are~?”
“…….”
“It's Hyman, right? Hyman? Eh? Got caught?”
“…You are urging me to do so..”
Shhh!
The armored man slammed his thick fist down. Since we know their true identity, we can't let them go alive, especially since they are so mean. It seems like Ian is trying to strike first.…….
‘This clearly goes against the duke's plan. Let's organize it.’
The enemies exchanged glances with each other and nodded. He kills this little red rat, and he also kills the woman who received Ian's letter. And those who write nonsense articles inside will also be killed..
Kwaang!
“oh! X bar!”
Beric, who barely received the punch, stumbled without realizing it. His weight was no joke. If it were normal, it would be so heavy and hard that it would not be possible to swing it accurately..
“This is why you use magic stones, magic stones?! Money is good, right? X-bar, a subject that is nothing without its shell! yes?!”
“Don't whine.!”
“Nope? yes?!”
Quang! bang!
Chaeng!
Beric focused his attention on every single sum. My intuition was right. If you show even one crack, your skull will be shattered. Beric swung his sword with all his might, and soon only made meaningless scratches..
Kwaaaaang! thud!
Five pieces of armor. Vivianna quickly noticed that Beric was struggling and bit her lip. She held out her hand to Minnie..
“self-defense equipment.”
“lady!”
“Everyone hurry! Bariel's future depends on it!”
Vivianna stood in front of the door holding a dagger. If Beric falls, he will be next. His hands were shaking and his heart was pounding. Probably because it is combined with the baby's heartbeat..
“Oh, please, please…….”
Please save me. Please let me live so I can see my husband and my child. Minnie also cried and stayed by Vivianna's side, and the reporters who had left her hand ran out into the hallway carrying chairs..
Quang! bang!
It was then. There was a sound different from the roar of the wall being destroyed. Beric, who was very good at dodging, was hit on the back. The pain of my ribs being crushed came with just one hit..
“Ahhhhh!”
Beric's scream made Vivianna almost run down the stairs reflexively. That's what I would have done if Minnie hadn't caught it..
“Sigh, ah! really! Vivianna!”
“Be, Beric.!”
“how much is left?”
“Now, now, five minutes have passed!”
“X, that's it.”
Beric crawled on the floor and muttered irritably. Can not help it. Ian didn't allow it, but I really can't help it..
Ji-ing! Jiing!
Beric unleashed his magic power. As he stood up and touched the ground with his black sword, his fist came flying again. The moment Beric gritted his teeth and tried to accept it..
Chaeng!
Someone suddenly came in from the left, blocking Beric's path and receiving a fist instead. Blue bob hair fluttered.
“molar!”
“Barsaveda, you idiot.!”
Kwaaang!
Ji-ing, ji-ing!
Barsabe appears out of nowhere. She opened her magic without hesitation.
