Cassandra sent me back to Alphine's whereabouts and started telling me about Samantha's gathering.
"I understand. According to the information gathered by Cassandra and my family, Jill, the chief of the Kinsai Knight's regiment, continued to talk to Alphine after Frick, who was Finn, left the king's capital. And let me face to face with Lord Finn's body in the northern metropolis of Algren."
After hearing Samantha's report, I couldn't hide my surprise.
It seemed faint that Gil's guy was interested in Alphine.
After I left Alphine, I didn't know...
And I'm Algren's dead!? Then who am I here?
I did throw away my status and name, but it was Finn. I'm alive. I'm here.
"Hah!? I'm alive!?
I felt that Samantha's eyes were sparkling as she watched me.
"So Alphine met in Algren and wondered if the body was a fake."
"─!? So one day, Alphine's diary changed to just a word of remorse!?
"Probably. I've read it too, but indeed Alphine's diary from Algren spelled out words of remorse."
Gil's guy got my fake corpse all around him, called Algren, and tricked that damn Alphine.
That's too cool, Alphine's!
It's been a bit awkward for a long time, and I've caused a lot of trouble because I'm quick.
What are you doing, really...
"Let me continue with the report. Alphine, who came back, was dragged into the Mansion because she was no longer available, and in the form of medical treatment, she was suspended from the Knights of Kintetsu swordsmanship instruction. After a while, King Frederick was told that Lord Gill would have Alphine treated in a separate home."
"That year, Alphine, an ultra-healthy person who can't catch a cold even if she's hungry and sleeping!? No, no, that's impossible!
"Master Flick, I presume Alphine's illness was mental."
Spiritual stuff... that arrogant, vainglorious tyrant Alphine will fall asleep when I'm dead, even though he's a fake.
That's impossible...
Alphine treated me as if I were your lover, so I shouldn't have laughed when I heard you were dead.
Why are you sleeping... I have no idea what that means.
"If I were in the same position as Alphine...."
The words leaked by the no-area suggested why Alphine was asleep.
Alphine's... I'm serious...
That's why... you told me to take care of my lover all the time.
That self-absorbed tyrant Alphine... is serious about me...
When Alphine suddenly started calling me a lover, I always thought it would be a substitute for the men who would come to me.
But I'm still good.
Because I thought I'd be happy to be an adventurer and live with you all the time while I baked the selfish Alphine I grew up with.
But since I became a nobleman, there was an interchange with Alphine, and the ditch widened, and I couldn't keep up with her, so I left.
I wonder if her selfish and irrational behavior toward me was a self-expression of her desire for help.
I can't even tell you that I've been with you all this time...
While listening to the information Samantha gathered, I held my hand tightly.
"It seems to have explained why he suffered from an epidemic in Algren. In fact, I wonder if Noare-sama's suggestion was correct. Since then, no one has seen Alphine's face until she was executed."
Is it as bad as falling asleep all the time?
Kensei Knights swordsmanship instruction should have been carried out no matter how bad they were.
If I hadn't even done that, it seemed like a pretty bad depression.
"But that makes me crazy. The woman who was hanging at the castle gate was not Alphine, Master Frick affirmed."
No-area, who was listening to Samantha's report, was talking about a question that arose about a Kae-Dama woman who was hanging at the castle gate.
"Ah, there was a tattoo of a wheat hoe with a neck similar in shape and hair, but I can assure you that he's not Alphine. It was a beautiful hand that had never held a sword. And Luna, there was a pendant inscribed Mills."
Alphine's hands were the fruit of daily training, and the soft women's hands should have been unspeakable.
From the name of the pendant peeking from his torn stomach, it only seems like a woman who has been replaced.
"If the exposed Kensei's body is a kae-Dame, Frick will say so."
"Ah, yes. Let me assure you that. It's not my delusion, it's someone else."
In Samantha's question, I affirmed that the hanging woman was not Alphine.
Samantha opened her mouth when she took a piece of paper out of a document she heard was a kae-Dama.
"Then there was one interesting piece of information. Until Alphine was executed, Alphine, who had been exposed only once, was reported to have been burned, and King Gil was made King Frederick."
"Burn?"
"Yes, but it appears that there was an explosion at Gil's house before the report was made. At that time, the Knights of the Guards were mobilized and a thorough search for the dark-haired young woman was carried out throughout the city."
When I heard Samantha's report, the explosion was driven by the thought that Alphine had broken out because she thought my body was a fake.
If that Alphine finds out that she was being deceived, the opponent will be Jill, the Knight of the Guards, but it won't matter.
The only thing I can think of is a squirrel wreaking havoc on the opponent of Gil's house.
So, maybe Alphine...
"- Should I see Alphine escaping from her separate home?"
"I wonder if Noare-sama's reasoning is correct. After listening to Flick, I thought he might have replaced it with a kae-Dama at that point."
I listened to Noah and Samantha and asked them about the possibility that they had come up inside me.
"Alphine is alive and on the run?
"Yes, if we consider that the Knights of the Guards are still guarding Alphine's mansion, that is likely."
"But where the hell are they..."
The whereabouts of Alphine, who appears to have taken off Gil, are still unknown.
"I haven't narrowed down my search. We will continue to use Cassandra's messenger and clan to gather information from noble relationships."
"Thank you, Cassandra and Samantha."
I bow my head in gratitude to both of you.
"Good. Not for my great-grandchildren."
"That's right. Then my family must prepare a child to serve Noah's son as soon as possible. I've made Susana like it, but it's time for her to consolidate."
"Fu, that's not what we're talking about yet! Susana and me!
It was a no-area where I waved my hands in bright red, but I didn't want to thank her for helping me with Alphine, my ex-boyfriend and family.
"Don't worry about the two words, Master Flick. My problem is different from Alphine's. Instead, I'll leave the nobility to the two of you. I'd like to gather information about Alphine in the City and the Adventurers Guild. I'd also like to look into the identity of the person who was replaced and see if there is a family to hand over the body."
If it was true, I wanted to say to Noah, "Alphine is a thing of the past, so there is no problem."
But now that I felt like I had touched Alphine's heart, the weakness in me that I couldn't say so was so bad that I could only bend my face.
"Ah, ah. Yeah, that's right. Let me do that."
I had no choice but to accept her offer without looking away from the no-area.
