Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

... As for Rosemary's ideal, I suspect it's probably a strengthening and centralization of kingdoms.

I leave my goodwill with Groufonica to my brother. He himself had formed his own faction, and he does not wish to be empowered by his relatives. In trampling the way Prince Josiah and Princess Stephania do, it is clear that they want to cut off the Grand Duke's and Duke's influence over the royal family.

It also appears in the part called capacitarianism - if we were to go with Rosemary's idea, we would place more emphasis on marriage "for the future of the labyrinth and the royal family" than on those two households with excellent magicians, clerics, and witches. There are already practical examples of Albert and Mallane, and Rosemary recognizes the strength of those two.

There is a verse that King Melvin and the First Queen are taking in the direction of not letting the two families argue by not putting their shoulders in either. After making the Grand Duchess face in marriage to the First Queen, neither the Second Queen nor the Third Queen will have any connection with the two families.

Looking over the current state with that background in mind......

"... I couldn't investigate Mallane's assassination attempt too deeply because I was alert to my cousins?

"It's more about maintaining a relationship than being vigilant. It would mean how awkward it would be if a snake came out after poking past the wax. After the demon attack, there was an urgent need to rebuild, and we must ask the Grand Duke and the Duke to help us do so. Assuming a thorough investigation is underway, and if there is any involvement with one house or the other, the deterioration of the relationship will be inevitable."

As a result, Roy had no involvement with the Grand Duke while he was sitting in Roy's cauldron, and he was a solo offender... and Roy knew what was going on around him.

That said, it's something that's always caught on for King Melvin as well... I guess it's only recently that he's backed up my investigation because things were different then.

It's around here that Rosemary says King Melvin is moving easier.

Claw marks from the King of Dead Sleeps raid are also largely under recovery, the Knights have been rebuilt, personnel and equipment have been renovated, and the Royal Family can leave quite strongly against both families.

Neither do I.

"Grand Duke Devonis is supposed to be in the royal castle today... so I thought I'd let him know. Grand Duke Devonis is not a fool, so I don't think there's a problem."

I see. Were the visitors of King Melvin the Grand Duke of Devonis?

Because the second son of the Grand Duke is King Melvin's cousin - does that mean that King Melvin's aunt is married to the Grand Duke? Genealogy diagrams will be tricky.

When I finished my conversation with Rosemary and headed to the king's tower to have another meeting with King Melvin followed, along the way I saw an old man accompanying the offering and coming from beyond.

Keep your eyes on me and I'll quietly open my mouth.

"Hmm. The color of that hair and eyes. I wonder if the rumor tells us about the ambassador of the other world. I'm Debonis-Baltwhistle."

"Were you in the Grand Duke of Debonis? As you can see, I must be Theodore Gartner, the ambassador of the other world."

"... um. I've heard how active it is. Refine, but good."

Debonis walked away as he was.

... I thought there was something a little bit more. It also seems like he was careful not to go too deep into me. Besides, what was that look like at the end I laughed a little narrower... of a tired human being, or it looked kind of lonely.

- Theodore, is that you?

Looking behind the hallway where Grand Duke Devonis disappeared, it was Prince Josiah, the king prince, who called out from his back.

"This is His Highness Josiah."

"I wonder if you didn't see Archduke Devonis here. Did he say anything to you?

"A word or two, I sent my greetings..."

I wonder if I can tell you about that impression, but Prince Josiah will look at me as if to encourage him to go ahead.

"You look a little tired."

"Right..."

Prince Josiah is also on the brink of something in my response.

"Give me a moment after you talk to your father. I talked about my obsession with the Duke's house and one of Roy's things... because I got a little emotional."

Was there something too much to say?

It will be true that there was a firm commitment between the Grand Duke and the Duke in the context of the attempted assassination of Mallane. It's also true that Roy used it.

If you looked at it from the point of view of the Grand Duke of Devonis, you would have been unhappy with King Melvin and the First Queen, Prince Josiah and Princess Stephania, who did not do much convenience.

But only Roy was different. The presence of the Grand Duke in the cauldron also meant that Roy was somewhat closer to the Grand Duke.

So the fact that Grand Duke Devonis' actions and behavior are influencing Roy's thinking... is an unthinkable story.

Did Prince Josiah blame you for that? If you try being Prince Josiah, Roy was originally a good brother... and you'll want to say one of your dissatisfactions with Archduke Debonis.

I wouldn't be thinking that badly if I were as good as the Grand Duke...... maybe Prince Josiah's words actually responded quite well to see where he distanced himself from me.

"... regret it. If you come, why don't you give us a word?

"- Right. Let's do that."

Prince Josiah walked down the hallway early when he smiled bitterly at my words.

"Oh. You kept me waiting, Theodore"

King Melvin shows up as he waits in the salon.

"Yes."

Tea will be brought soon.

"I went to the north tower earlier."

With Grand Duke Devonis and Prince Josiah, it doesn't look like I'm going to stick my neck in it.

I'll move on with my story. First I also told King Melvin that I had spoken with Rosemary. Because it is something involved in Silvatoria, so it will also be involved in the story from here on out.

"I see...... The connection between the ancestors of the art of union - the Spirit Palace and those who built the Moonlight Temple - and Silvatoria... is not an impossible story."

"Did you find out anything about the sorcerers the other day?

"They say those are the ministers of the Marquis of Gilbolt in Sylvatria. We insist that they are former ministers, but as a magic interrogation measure, we'll see if that's formally the case."

In fact, if it's formally in place, it won't be a lie, and we can open it up. From the point of view of putting up a line of prevention, there is a good chance that protests will pass unknowingly.

But Marquis Gilbolt. I'm not very familiar with the Silvatorian nobility, so I don't know who he is...

"He who belongs to the faction of the king prince of the example... is a man who hears not very good rumors. That doesn't mean it's connected to Prince Wang."

Is it the discretion of the Marquis of Gilbolt or the intention of Prince Wang? I guess that heck didn't come to a verdict after interrogating those two.

It wouldn't make sense to hear our views. In the first place, I still don't see one reason to send agents over here.

"Confirmation and protest about the identities of the magicians. Let us be sure of this. I acknowledge the affidavit so that it does not fall into the ear of Prince Wang. And should I warn you about the Bellion Dora case?"

"Sure...... In an ordinary messenger, it's possible that Prince Wang will come out of the way."

"Hmm. Then, on the tail of Randolph and Squawgslow,"

"Yes."

"The accumulation that Randolph has accumulated as a result of fraud is forfeited. Fill this in for the victims. The tail of Squagslow is also discarded after some empirical experimentation. Like this place."

Well... that's reasonable. I don't know how much Randolph was saving up though.

"... so do you want to keep your shoulder tight story in this heap? I'm a little tired today for the rest of it. There's still a lot going on about Southern governance."

Is it the business of Grand Duke Devonis? The power of the Duobelis Church was shredded, but that makes the South look a lot harder.

"Shall we change the subject?"

"Right. Albert tells me you're doing something interesting."

"Are you talking about setting up a store in the East Side?"

"Yes, that's it. I thought I'd order what I was trying to sell there at the castle."

Billiards and darts. And maybe a card. Could it be a shaker, a carbonated drink, or something?

Maybe Albert told me about the entertainment room relationship. It sure looks like it would be good publicity if I put it in the castle.

"The King's Tower and the Knight's Tower. Then I'm going to set it up at the reception hotel, is that possible?

"Okay. We'll make sure we get it to you as soon as possible."

"Uhm. Nice to meet you."

In that way, King Melvin gave Albert a similar impression smile.
