Black Haired King

Kiki, you! Why are you here! I'm sure you haven't sent anyone yet!

Ignore Balt, who I call a farewell, and see Rona and Kurt. Kurt is falling down with blood paint. There are men nearby who stained their feet with blood, so I guess they did it to them.

Rona seems to have no injuries or anything on the outside, but she's in tears. Galli, and I can see my back teeth are missing. I remember so much anger with my teeth.

"Bart Gremond. You... kill"

◇ ◇ ◇

Ronas, before the rescue.

"Ugh... ugh..."

"Hey, are you awake?

I'm restless, walking around Galana's house, and I hear Galana speak up. You woke up!? As soon as I stood at Galana's side, the woman who was falling asleep, Mr. O'Fran, woke up.

"What about this one? And, Mr. Galana?

"Ooh, did you wake up?

Mr. Fran wakes up a nodding body at Garana's words. Since Mariena is seeing if there are any injuries beforehand, she was losing her mind, not because of the injuries, but because of fatigue.

Predictably, I guess Lopo kept running since last night. Fran, who was on top of it, naturally gets tired too. I think I was losing my mind because of that.

"... I... yes! Mr. Galana, I'm in trouble! Rona and Kurt!

"Calm down, Fran. Relax. Talk to me from the beginning."

Fran nods again at Garana's words and begins to talk to Pottori Pottori. Mr. Fran said he had been asked to nominate with Rona and Kurt, and he said he rode the carriage with the two of them to the requested village. I know this because I got a letter from Rona, too.

The village seemed a lot strange from the moment it entered. The number of people living there is small for the size of the village and only the men are there. Says I didn't even see a woman, a child, or an old man.

Kurt wondered about it and decided to look into the village. Not much could be found in just a few hours, but he says there was a ground behind the village that was dug back and buried like it. Probably buried the villagers.

More importantly, the three more alert came armed with men who remained villagers if they had hidden until night in the name of monitoring the fields that caused the request.

So, the Kurts' thoughts are finalised from anticipation, engagement. Fran says a man in a robe showed up where he set up an ambush and the battle went in his favor and all he had to do was catch the men naming the village chief.

The last thing Fran sees was Kurt, who gets kicked off and loses his mind, and Rona's hindsight heading to the man in the robe to help Kurt, apparently.

I don't know if that was regrettable or hard, but Mr. Fran weeps out from the way he's talking.

"Wow, I can only escape on Lopo's back, and I can't help Rona and the others..."

"Oh, I get it. Thanks for talking to me."

Mr. Fran shakes his head. This guy regrets running away, but I don't think so. Because this guy came back alive, and he figured it out quickly. Appreciate it, never get angry or anything like that.

If it makes you angry, it's the ones who put Rona and the others in the frame. From the story, I guess it was structured at the time of the request. Besides, Fran says it was planned to capture him alive except for Fran.

Then Rona and the others will be alive. If you need to kill me, I'll kill you at that point. And if there's a reason to keep you two alive.

"Am I the target..."

If I were involved with those two, I'd be the only one. If you're after the ransom, you'll be after a noble child. If you're going to enslave him, you can't sell him because of his dark hair. Rona has no reason to be targeted. If there's only one reason to aim, you're the ones who have a grudge against me.

"Galana, I'm coming."

"Redius, do you have a guess?

"I'm going to need a little help getting to know you."

I'll stay behind Galana's house. About 2 hours after sunrise. I know you haven't been to school yet, but if you don't hurry, you're in the wrong place. I activate the entanglement and run out. We have to hurry.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Phew, you made it."

I came in front of a mansion in the King's Capital. The mansion.

"Oh? Isn't that Redius? What's the matter, sir?

It's Victoria's mansion. I just came in front of the Septembalm mansion. So I was just able to meet Victoria, who was about to catch a carriage. I made it in time.

"Victoria, do you have the Duke of Septembalm?

"What? I'm going to miss your father, what can I do for you?

"Oh."

Victoria looks at me surprised, but I guess she thought I wouldn't say anything more.

"Okay. Follow me."

He told me. Your man asks what the school is going to do, but Victoria says it's going to be late. I'm sorry, Victoria.

And it was in front of one door that Victoria showed me the mansion.

"This is your father's study. You should always be here in the morning."

And when Victoria knocks on the door, one man peeks into his face. Was it Mr. Germud?

"Oh, lady, what's wrong? And you..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Germud. Ledius wants to see your father."

"... um, no matter how many young ladies ask, my husband has a schedule."

That's what I say, and I think about it, Mr. Germud. Indeed, the Duke of Septembalm will be busy himself. I'm not the only one who can see me. But...

"Can't you do something about it?

"But..."

"Never mind, let me in."

If you think Mr. Germud will say no, you can hear him from across the door. Hearing the words, Mr. Germud opened the door for me. I'll follow Victoria inside.

Inside, there was a figure of the Duke of Septembalm fighting the paperwork put on his desk per chair.

"What can I do for you, kid? As you can see, I'm busy. Briefly."

The Duke of Septembalm says so without even looking at me. Victoria tried to say something to that figure, but I stop. And keep it up.

"Hey, Redius! What are you doing!?

Victoria speaks out like she panicked. I bow my head on both hands and knees without worrying about Victoria's voice. It's a dugout posture.

"... what the hell are you imitating, kid?

Exactly if I raised Victoria's surprise voice, I guess I couldn't have seen it without. Asked by the Duke of Septembalm. I start talking like that.

"The Duke of Septembalm. Please accept my disrespect! Lend me the power of the Duke's house!

I can't find Lorna and the others on my own. Regret exhorts me that no matter how much I brush myself up at times like this makes no sense. But now I don't have time to stop at that remorse.

So I thought, with the help of the Duke's house. If we can borrow some of the Duke's information network, we'll have a lead on finding Ronas.

"Just look up and explain why. Depends."

I raise my face as the Duke of Septembalm told me, and then I tell what Fran asked me. I'm done listening to me. The Duke of Septemberme...

"So, he wants to use the Duke's house to help him find the killer?

"Yes, that's the thing."

Then, think about it for a moment, the Duke...

"... okay. I'll lend you the power of the Duke's house. But you should return something to borrow. What are you giving me back against the Duke's house?

"I..."
