"- You're telling me to let go! Who do you think I am!
Below Greg as he summoned, the people involved in this incident were taken by the soldiers from the Knight's Tower.
They're going to have a magical interrogation. Inside, there will be no magic interrogation for these high-ranking students, but this time it's just... something like that.
If you have credible witnesses like Mercedia and Chester, and even bad guys like Jasper, you will. Greg will be questioned in some way, no matter what, anyone close to him.
I offered to go to the castle as a party, and Sheila agreed to go home.
Sometimes I can present evidence on my own.
"How did you get to the scene?
"My people noticed Jasper's tail, so they followed him double."
"... I'm telling you as a matter of course... they're going to be sorry"
The look on the face of the soldier who was supposed to ask me what was going on made me smile.
For once, or as such, the history must be told, but there is a difference between Greg and the cloud mud in their treatment.
If this is Modern Japan, I would also be asked to dig for root leaves, but because of the magic interrogation, I don't have to spend any extra time investigating it. Well, it's a thankful story at a time like this.
"Okay. Enough is enough. Now, can you come with me as I will guide you?
A few other brief questions were asked and later taken through by soldiers in one of the hotel rooms.
"I don't think it's rare. Please wait in the castle for a while longer. If you need anything, please speak to your servants and we'll make sure you stay."
"Okay."
The soldier graciously left the room.
It was Mercedia and Chester who came into the room just a few moments later to be replaced by that soldier.
Lord Theodore, were you here?
"It looks like neither of you were injured. Most importantly."
"It was a pain in the ass to get caught."
Mercedia shook her first time and smiled small. Even though it was a deception, did you say that being held captive was humiliating?
"Whatever it is, Lord Theodore is the benefactor of my life and those of my men. Let me thank you."
"Thank you from me too."
And the two of them have bowed their heads.
"You don't have to change that much because the interests just matched."
"And you can't say that."
Mercedia smiled bitterly.... Mercedia feels depressed for her part, although her words and attitudes are mild.
"You've bothered me with a promise not to get involved, etc.... I 'm-- Now let me be rude. I have a lot to think about."
Chester left the room saying so.
Dropping off that back, Mercedia shows her shoulders flaunted.
"Looks like your way of fighting was a lot of shock. I'm surprised, too."
And, Mercedia.
- Is shock talking about how I control it?
At least, it would be something that runs counter to Chester's policies I've heard before, and I wonder if Chester would have been more shocked than Mercedia.
But I don't know if I'm an extreme example, so there's something wrong with being considered too standard. The role required of a knight and a magician would be completely different.
"It was harsh... but I think I'm right about that one. It also fits the lesson I received from the Knights Commander before."
"... can a Knights leader be a pretty scary person?
"Not as good as you were then, though. Now - it just seems old enough."
I just have to laugh vaguely.
Talking to Mercedia about the labyrinth for a while, she said from the hallway, "He's back!" I heard voices, both in the hallway and out the window - making noise.
If you look at the squad through the window... it was a scene where Fernando walked through the labyrinth. That look has a full smile on its face.
"... didn't you catch him by the time you got here?
"They're going to pull you inside the royal castle because you're afraid you're going to storm or escape all over the city, refuse to leave completely, and then they're going to tie you up.... I think I've bought your Majesty a lot of unhappiness."
Mercedia turns her gaze toward the tower. Following her gaze, King Melvin was showing himself on the balcony.
"This, Your Majesty. Your honor and joy are with you."
Fernando dismissed his grin from his expression when he admitted to the appearance of King Melvin, but still saw it as an opportunity to report directly to the King, he said.
"Ah. Sir Fernando. Did something funny happen to you?
King Melvin, who asks Fernando to thank his subordinates, - although the corner of his mouth is up, his eyes are not laughing at all. What Fernando and Greg did... apparently pissed off the king quite a bit.
"Ha. - I have a report that's not very good"
"Let me hear it."
"I met with a soldier from Sir Mercedia's expedition team who was on his way to explore the labyrinth. Inside the labyrinth, in the woods of night and darkness, a herd of demons attacked him and fled with a transboundary stone."
Next to me, the winner, Mercedia, closes her eyes and shakes her neck to the side.
... Wow... all I get is the feeling.
Is this it? Is it part of King Melvin's solemn measure of discipline? Let it be interpreted within the popular circle and be a commandment to others by showing off their ugliness.
"I rushed to the labyrinth with him...... But I was losing it late -. There's only some blood left in the place he led me, and there's nowhere to look like an exploratory squad led by Lord Mercedia. I wandered through the woods of darkness in search of her appearance."
Fernando puts his hand on his forehead as if he is feeling dizzy, and looks mournful and sad at all costs. Seems like an actress to me... It's a miserable thing.
"I spent quite a bit of time exploring, but it never came true to finally find Lord Mercedia. The soldier who bought my guide and left, too, was in the hands of the demon during his exploration, and he dared not... Thinking of his carelessness, his chest is just ripped open. If that were to happen, I wanted to continue my search for the Night Forest as long as I had the strength, but as soon as I came back from some nasty circumstances."
"... well. What are the circumstances?
Percentage Quiet King Melvin's voice, but when I listen carefully, the last one is shivering more for anger or slightly... Fernando, who is getting into the role for acting, continues unaware of King Melvin's timidity.
"Yes, it was a bitter decision, but we made a serious discovery, so we had to tell His Majesty about it first, so we hurried to this Fernando, the Imperial Castle. I am very worried about Lord Mercedia's safety..."
Fernando says proudly.
"You have fulfilled your royal destiny. I hereby report that Fernando discovered a sealed door in the forest of night and darkness."
"Ho. You think you've done the rest?
"Ha. I thought the carved door of that relief must be the sealed door we were looking for. An accompanying adventurer touched me to open the door... because I think I've got a burn on my hand."
"Hmm. Then can I ask you something? what relief it was"
King Melvin turns to the side, hands out. The prompted proximity offered the paper respectfully.
... Ah. That paper.
"Yes. Several spheres and ellipses were drawn to overlap -"
"Wasn't that something like this, for example?
Protruding the paper in King Melvin's hand toward Fernando. Fernando's expression froze when he saw it.
The paper was newly made since I came to the Royal Castle. A copy of the relief by Cadkeus is pressed tightly.
As evidence of what I discovered earlier, it doesn't mean anything... but I made a new one because what I gave Mercedia was recovered by Greg and the others and probably disposed of.
"You think I don't know anything else?
King Melvin stares at the hardening Fernando.
"Both Mercedia and Chester have already returned to the rest. Greg's disloyalty is already known. Well, it's Fernando. Do you have anything to say and open up on this?
"Ah... Huh? Hey, what?
So it seems that for the first time, Fernando noticed a blue muscle floating in King Melvin's temple.
He looked to the left and right for a moment... and noticed that there was a fully armed soldier there, and his face grew pale.
"I don't have to wait for the earliest interrogation. Pull yourself together. If you resist, you can slash and throw it away."
When King Melvin dismissively said he didn't even want to see his face anymore, he turned his cape and went back inside the building. The soldiers move out simultaneously, as if they had signaled it.
"Ugh, ooh!
A lot of people made up their minds, and I was wondering a little bit, but something strange happened.
Fernando, who had trouble escaping, swung his sword and left the soldiers, escaped to my hotel for some reason. I accidentally look at Mercedia face to face.
No. How little people are stationed would be clogged that they escaped into the building. When you get cornered, you lose your judgment...
