"Well done for coming."

A few days after the end of the period of the National Guardian's Ritual.

A messenger came from King Melvin asking him to take Grace and Ashley to the castle, so when he took them with him to the king's tower, he was passed to a salon room, where he was greeted with such faces as King Melvin and Prince Albert and Princess Mallane.

Based on the timing and the face gathered, I think we are talking about the treatment of Rosemary, but I don't really understand the part about Grace and Ashley being together.

The fact that we climbed the Imperial Castle meant that we both wore dresses, even though it was a blessing to me.

First, it was just me and King Melvin, sitting back away from everyone and talking.

"The rest of my daughter imitated it silly at this important time. The rest of us are unjust."

Say, King Melvin closes his eyes.

"No."

"Better than the rest of my mouth, I don't think you'd be convinced if I told you how Rosemary was treated. First, Rosemary was stripped of her right to inherit the throne on the grounds of illness. Slave magic will also be used to restrict movement and will henceforth be isolated in the north tower. That information must be kept secret, but in view of its usefulness, its magical qualities, etc., it is not just necessary to seal your mouth."

Is it a place called tranquility or claustrophobia because of illness?

Maybe it's something you can count on as a force against demons. Some parts of us need flesh parents and kinsmen with competent blood to continue to perform the rite of national defence even in future generations.

"Restrictions," he said.

"I mean the use of magic, experiments and research. You use slave magic to seal up secret revelations. You have to make sure you can't easily pull that information out."

"Okay."

King Melvin sighs small.

"No. If you come out of the national guardianship ritual. I have to explain what I found out about that M.O."

Right, right. I have a few questions. First and foremost, Rosemary was in a position of princess but how she gained freedom of action.

Formulation of secret medicines for the management of greenhouses. of the dolls that were used for it, that many more productions, etc.... If you let that doll's magic creature do it somewhere, you'll be able to drastically reduce the hassle in person.

It is easier to steal the eyes because if we target our servants to be more pressurized and distant than necessary, our servants will also be able to stand around to avoid buying unhappiness.

Well, if you can guess with the information I know, is that about it?

"Originally, that girl was in the library if she had more time than she was when she was a kid. He also showed interest in magic and followed his teacher. - He was brilliant... but stopped studying magic completely when. Was it also around this time that I began to publicly proclaim my hatred of magicians? It's probably this time of year that that girl found a hidden library over the castle library."

"Hidden library…"

"Mm-hmm. It was a mechanism to open it by looking through the relief on the wall with royal blood. Originally it would be a secret evacuation route for the royal family to escape from the royal castle. I won't go into detail, but I can get out of the royal castle without seeing anyone."

Did you find out about it merely by chance, or were you doing research and reaching the secret of the royal castle?

A hidden library even though it is a royal evacuation route, King Melvin expressed. The fact that someone in the past royalty used a compartment where only royalty could enter and seal highly dangerous books that the world could not put out? I guess that's the opportunity Rosemary had for ambition.

"There seems to be books about the royal castle and the labyrinth."

Naturally, the books there would be encrypted like alchemist's secrets.

If we want the King to decrypt the contents of the books he needs to grasp in the future - do we need rosemary because of the secrets of the royal castle Theorem, the labyrinth, and the entanglement with demons? I can't execute you.

"But don't you just get suspicious, stuck in a library when you get out?

"Exactly. You used your demons to set up shadow fighters. I found it in a hidden library."

"Shadow Warrior -"

Speaking of which, when you fought as Anastasia, there were no demons to use, even if there were magical creatures that used slave magic to rule. The user demon was a user demon, and he had an important role to play.

Speaking of useless demons who seem to be able to be shadow fighters......

"Is it Doppelgenger"

Within the BFO, it was treated as a magical creature that could take on exactly the same appearance as a blood fed subject. The way it is, it looks like a translucent, clear top.

If we leave this in the living room or in the library... can we have freedom of movement? The way you make it, you probably got it from a hidden library.

Sometimes Akiguchi had more balls and so on, and even if he didn't have to stand up for Shadow Man, he seemed to have acted out of the castle with dignity. Shadow warriors and fortune tellers - can you show up in another place at the same time? Well, I guess the fortune teller is always a disguise for Rosemary himself.

"Exactly, don't know me very well"

King Melvin smiled bitterly.

"But how could the existence of such a hidden passage have been laid low?

Anyway, the others. Even though King Melvin wouldn't make sense if he didn't know.

When asked, King Melvin frowned.

"... this will be a disgrace to you. These secrets were passed on to his successor as an oral. I lost a part of it a few generations ago. It is the story of that generation that the liturgy of national defense also failed and the Labyrinth swallowed the pit as a warning against the breach of contract"

"Default of contract…"

"Well, that's a magical contract with the labyrinth. That's all it conveys. I suppose that's also why the ritual of national defence takes place at such a halfway point."

Because it is a covenant, a ritual only a king can do, huh?

"... Rosemary's theory of competence... is certainly a plausible story. If we keep doing this, maybe the best will have to succeed us."

Well, if the labyrinth swallows all sorts of things if you fail to perform the ritual, maybe you should take precedence over Chiko.

When that happens, the problem is that there could be a bone meat dispute.

"One more thing. I have to tell you something."

"What is it"

When asked, King Melvin dropped the tone of his voice a little and said:

"You're talking about Mallane's attempted assassination. I admitted everything else... but I said I wouldn't go wrong with the amount of medicine I had."

"... what do you mean?

Wrong amount of medication?

"Mallane poisoned, wandering the frontier of life and death at that time - but Rosemary said that if he poisons himself for the purpose of letting him lose his word with medication, he would not strike him badly at the wrong amount of medication, yes. That's when Albert and Mallane's mother rescued Mallane using Sacrifice."

Sacrifice, one of the prayers the Moon Temple witch can use. Replace the pain and suffering of others with shoulders - comparable to the rather powerful healing magic, but at great risk.

You could lose your life to the extent of your opponent's injury.

If you replace a child's addiction with your shoulder, it bounces back on a scale that reflects the seriousness for the child.

Although Prince Albert said he had received a side room from an apprentice witch. That's the mother of two, huh?

"Either way, yes. I can't see who went for what."

Right. Do you want to go back to picking up about the assassination?

I thought if I tried rosemary, even if I was inferior in ability, I wouldn't lose more than I was winning in political power, or something?

Thinking about it, King Melvin said this.

"This is a story that has attached an acceptance to Lord Penelope."

and preface.

"As for the rest and Albert's thoughts - they see it as safer to keep Mallane. That's why I accompanied my fiancées. I mean, next to those girls, I was wondering if they could add Mallane."

... Yes?

I accidentally look back at King Melvin, but he didn't look like he was joking.

Princess Mallane can't chant. Succession to the throne is more impossible than it was before, than the rite of national defence is essential. Even if I say I'm going to find someone to marry... I don't think my position in the social world will be a good one if I can't speak the language.

So both King Melvin and Prince Albert thought that if we put her in the temple to guarantee her safety, we would be able to secure her standing at the same time, also in reverse use of the constraint of losing her words.

Maybe knowing the interaction between me and Prince Albert and Princess Mallane, as King Melvin, it means to me...

I originally barely interacted with the royal castle nobles and lords, and the title is labyrinthine. It is, for once, disconnected from politics. but in order to be treated as the king's direct minister, if there is more social circles from autumn to winter, we will sometimes be able to bring such stories with us.

As a king, if I was engaged to Princess Mallane, I would also be able to prevent me from being taken into some faction from the fringe side.

Except for Grace and Ashley, who originally fit in as fiancées. With Princess Mallane added there, it should be a very difficult situation for some nobleman to screw his own daughter.

Even at the forefront of the royal qualities of the example… if you let a magician like me get engaged, you can expect talent as a relative to marry the royal family some generations later?

"Mallane and I seem to be getting along very well. I can't get dressed in my teeth, but there's something about Mallane's engagement that I've lost my word about that I have to be cautious about. So I'd like you to bear in mind that I'm just exploring options about that girl's future, not forcing her because it's the rest of the story I've had. Naturally, if they're convinced, that's the story."

Three, huh? I guess it's hard not to seem to have a bad relationship with the other fiancées.

Disconnected from politics. If it is not sneaky to use it for political marriage. As for kindness, he wants you to be as happy as possible.

"Discuss the matter with the parties and let me know your thoughts without abomination. I'm not saying it conveniently. If you think about it as a king, sending Mallane to the temple is not a very profitable story."

What do I think of Mallane? What do they think of it? And then...

"I would also like to confirm your own intentions, Lord Mallane."

"Uhm."

To my words, King Melvin nodded.
