I Favor the Villainess
146. First meeting
From the day after Lord Liesche asked us to protect the Pope, we became ready for it.
Deploying people, reviewing shifts in security, checking the schematics of the public hall where the talks take place are like mountains.
Naturally, the academy is closed.
I thought it would echo the ratings, and they make the neighborhood convenient.
Thank you.
However, the exams are usually made to take, so we will have to do our own study for what we were resting on.
"I'm Hildegart-Eye Herot. Please, call me Hilda."
The target of Revolili's attack, the last of them, was able to see each other.
She came to greet us as head of security on the imperial side.
Naturally, the security of the talks is not solely exercised by the Church.
The Emperor will also attend the meeting, so naturally.
The head of security on that side of the empire is Hilda.
One of the imperial powers is a mighty military force.
The Empire invested in a technology called magic ahead of all nations, and as a result, it became a magically developed country.
It is the opposite pattern to Bauer.
Without Dorothea, the magic tech division of the Empire could have been the center of power.
And Hilda has a thick pipe in such a magic tech department.
Hilda looks like she said she was a cutter, and rarely wears a monocle for a woman.
Silver hair and red eyes remind me of Master Lily, but unlike the little animal meshed her, Hilda has that kind of scare.
Filine says:
"Hilda's scary at first sight, but he's actually a sweet guy"
that, but I know Hilda's sexual roots with Levolili's knowledge.
She is an ambitious person, the type who chooses no means for a purpose.
Philine says oh, because she herself is the seed of Hilda's birth.
Hilda is wearing a cat in front of Filine.
"This is the Imperial side of the security plan. Please check."
Such a one-of-a-kind Hilda, but his abilities were impeccably excellent.
We are meeting for the first time in a joint meeting room of the Security Department set up in one of the public halls.
The room was spacious because of the large number of people entering and leaving.
A number of desks and chairs are arranged, and the walls are stamped with many materials necessary for security.
"Thank you, Hilda. This is the church-side security plan. Let's mix it up."
The opposing church side was also struggling under the leadership of Lady Claire.
Though it was unfamiliar work, the church staff had all the experience headed by Master Lily.
Supported by reliable allies, the security plan was going well.
"Even this time, can we not worship the Pope's face"
"I'm sorry. The Pope is basically not exposed to people…"
This is why Lord Claire and I were surprised by the Pope's face.
There is basically no opportunity for ordinary people to see the Pope's face.
For she is always over the curtain to have conversations and to meet people.
People don't see it when they travel because they also travel in a car.
"Really...... Convincing Your Majesty is about to break his bones again."
Hilda said Dorothea doesn't seem to like the Pope coming to the talks hiding his face and it seems hard to include telling him not to do anything extra.
If you let it go, you might cut the curtain off but be forced to try to worship its face, and so on.
"Your Majesty Dorothea is short minded, isn't he? The staff who make the talks happen are terrified."
Hilda shrugging her shoulders, etc., but that face didn't seem as troubled by the tone.
pointing that out to Hilda,
"Well, even His Holiness Dorothea would not be so diplomatically tone-deaf as to work intact on the Pope under this circumstance. Now, if spirituals are offended, the empire will be forced into tough situations at once."
"You trust Your Majesty."
"Of course that is. Your Majesty loves reason. You will not be rude to the Pope unless you do more."
Rest assured, Hilda laughed.
I don't care, but that's the way I've been saying things to stir up anxiety first.
"By the way, how is Master Filine? I presume you've already met him?
"Yeah. You're sweet. I don't think you're that harsh Dorothea's son."
"Hehe, that's what you all say. But there are some unexpected similarities."
"What is it, for example?
"Master Filine also has a strong core. I'm not the one who gets screwed over by boredom, but I'm the one who can stay here."
Hilda praised Philine.
Well, there's agreement.
"I hope all of you Bauers will be good friends with Dear Philine. Especially you two who were flag bearers of the revolution."
Hilda relaxed her mouth and laughed.
Doing so makes me feel unexpectedly cold.
Many players were hit by this smile.
But don't be fooled.
I'm sure Hilda says the opposite to Filine in the back.
He must have stabbed a nail like that to keep away from us comfortably or something.
Because she wants herself to be the best of Filine.
"Yes, of course. I'd like to be close."
Claire is also learning about Hilda's personality in advance preparation for her studies in the Empire.
I'm sure Master Claire knows Hilda is wearing a cat, but there's Master Boulder Claire.
I laugh like hell and work in diplomacy.
"By the way..., of course you know the church side, right? Rumor has it that there are people after the Pope's life."
Hilda dropped the tone of her voice a little and asked.
"I assure you, the thief is not an imperial person. As I said a little earlier, the Empire cannot turn the Church against its enemies. This meeting is also a little humiliating to His Majesty Dorothea, but given the circumstances in which the Empire was placed, there is no other way to accept it."
The purpose of this Pope's good fortune is to stab the nail against an empire that continues to invade other countries.
The Pope decided to go to the Empire in order to glorify the Empire that there should be no such thing as suffering the people by waging war.
In the background, there is the current structure in which there is about to be a war between the great powers: the troika of Bauer, Suse and Appalachia against the Nah Empire.
Not just against the Empire.
The Pope has already met with His Holiness Sain in Bauer, and he plans to be fortunate in Suse and Appalachia after the Empire.
Dear Lily, I hear the Pope is badly heartbroken by the mounting war mood.
From Dorothea, you would want to refuse the talks themselves by saying it was an interference in the internal affairs of a religious man, but the situation in which the empire is placed does not allow it.
Even though it is possible to work with the three armies, if we turn to the enemy even spirituals on top of this, no matter how much the Empire's national power, we will not be able to do it on the boulder.
"So please be sure to keep your security tight on the church side as well. In the unlikely event that something happens, the most troubling thing is the Empire."
"I understand."
"Did you grab the whereabouts of the former prime minister in the matter afterwards?
"About that... I'm sorry. We're still searching."
Apparently the Empire also knows about Suras' escape from prison.
"Quick...... if you can, I'd like you to catch me before I get lucky. The less anxiety, the better."
"Yeah, absolutely."
"You think there's a connection to that prime minister, to important figures in the church if you ask me? I am trying to harm the Pope, surprisingly, by its -"
Hilda, that's it.
Master Claire blocked Hilda from continuing to name that "suspect".
"I'm not stupid with us. We'll take good care of what you're worried about. So let's not make too many statements based on each other's evil inferences."
"... this is rude. My apologies."
That said Hilda lowered her head gently.
In the first place, Suras was a connected man to the Empire.
I guess I don't like being searched for my belly either.
"No, you're naturally worried as head of security. I'm guessing."
"Thank you. Now let's continue the rehearsal"
The first meeting between the Church and the Empire ended with nothing after that.
The person in charge, Lady Claire, seemed tired of the boulders, and when she returned to the dorm, she relaxed.
"... something unexpected happens. Initially, the Empire's cage was supposed to be the purpose."
"I have no choice. Things are a lot different with my original knowledge."
I say to Lady Claire as she puts her hair through Mae and Allea.
May and Allea's hairstyles resemble Me and Allea like Claire.
When I first met her, I thought May was short, Alea was long, etc.
"Still, we have to do something about it. Shall we start by cleaning up the work in front of us one by one?"
"I'll be there for you."
After finishing up Mae and Allea's hair, I will now pass it through Claire's hair.
I wonder if the branch hair stands out a bit.
It'll be stressful, maybe.
I'm counting on you.
I'll take care of it.
I need to do my best to eliminate the burden on Master Claire at all.
I dropped my mouth on Claire's hair many times, renewing my determination.
