"Damn it, let me go!" Cronin struggled, glaring at Aria with a fierce look in his eyes.

"President Cronin, today is an important banquet for the Kingdom of Artinia, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go out in your current state, right?" Aria said calmly, without any emotion on her face.

"It's not your turn to decide whether it's appropriate or not, right? Don't make a mistake, I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!"

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, the entire alliance of chambers of commerce belongs to you. Aria said perfunctorily, turning around and preparing to leave.

"Stop!" Cronin yelled, and Aria stopped.

"Anything else?"

"You bastard! I said before that as long as you get rid of Baron, the Chamber of Commerce will be under my jurisdiction! As a result, you are just using me, ostensibly asking me to bear the charge of killing the former president and seeking power and usurping the throne, while you are secretly holding real power, the elders of the Chamber of Commerce have long since lost the right to speak, and now you have completely achieved your goal!"

"President Cronin, it seems that you have been obsessed with a drunken life for a long time, and your mind and body are overdrawn, if you can, I will arrange a quiet and remote place for you to recuperate for a while, right?"

"You... Are you threatening me?"

"How come, now the people in the Chamber of Commerce know that you don't have the ability to lead the Chamber of Commerce at all if you are addicted to spending all day long, and there are many guys who support the former president, and there are already many voices within the Chamber of Commerce who want to get rid of you, and I just keep you able to stay here because of the old feelings. ”

"Hehehehehe, hahahahaha!" Cronin burst out laughing, "Yes, Aria! you've finally shown your true colors!

"This is an important time to negotiate with the kingdom, and there can be no disharmony within the Chamber of Commerce, so rest assured, Your Excellency, you can continue to stay in your position as president. Aria said coldly, and walked out of the room quickly, no matter how much Cronin roared, he didn't stop.

It turns out that the plan to assassinate Baron has such an inside story, no wonder I don't think Cronin alone can think of such a well-thought-out plan to seize power, and his ascension is too logical, it turns out that Aria is behind the scenes. Haruka completely grasps the conversation between the two through the flying blade monitoring, and seeing that Cronin is the only one left in the room, Haruka suddenly realizes that now is a good opportunity to avenge Natalie.

The blade lightly cut a circular hole in the glass of the window, and flew into the room along the opening. Inside, Cronin, who was tied to a chair with a rope, seemed to be exhausted by the roaring and struggling he had been exerting his strength, and he looked lethargic and drooping under the influence of alcohol.

The flying blade was suspended in the air, shrouded in black mist, and turned into a pitch-black knight.

"!!!" Perhaps awakened by the sound of metal armor colliding, Cronin jerked his head up and stared at the armor that appeared in front of him. "Who?!"

Instead of responding, the armor raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Cronin in the chest.

"Wait a minute! You're Haruka!" the knight stopped when he heard his name be called.

"I didn't expect you to recognize me. Haruka's voice came from the armor.

"I've seen you fight Nightmare before, and I've never seen a second person use this kind of magic except for you. ”

"I see, since you remember me, you should also remember what you did at the Academy, right?" the knight raised his sword again.

"Wait a minute, I'm innocent!it's all Ariya's idea!!" he shouted, "It's the Nightmare he hired, I just gave the Nightmare information about the Academy, and it wasn't my idea to kill Baron, it's all that guy's fault." ”

"Oh, are you now blaming someone else?" the Black Knight's sword slowly moved to his chest.

"Don't, don't, it's all my fault! Okay, don't kill me!"

"I don't have a reason to keep you alive!"

"Let's make a deal. ”

"Deal?"

Soon the king of Artinia will come to the dinner party, you just need to let me out, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Aria will not dare to do anything in front of the king, and then I only need to ask the king to protect me in the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, so that I can regain control of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"And then, why should the king of Artinia protect you?"

"As long as he is willing to provide me with shelter, then I can promise that the entire alliance of chambers of commerce will be loyal to the Kingdom of Artinia in the future! ”

"Are you going to give up the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to the kingdom... ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as I can regain control of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, no matter how much wealth I have!

"That seems to be interesting. The Black Knight withdrew his sword, slowly turned and took a few steps back.

"Great! This way you can bring down Aria's... Before Cronin could finish speaking, the black knight suddenly turned around and shot the sword in his hand, the blade was impartial, and pierced through Cronin's chest, almost killing him with one blow.

"I'm sorry! I really can't let you go! The Chamber of Commerce Alliance is Natalie's father's business, and it belongs to neither you nor Aria. Haruka's voice echoed through the room, and the Black Knight dissipated into the air in a cloud of black mist......
