Continental Hero Senki

5 September, Governor's Office of Krakow, Duke of Krakowski.

The Duke of Krakowski declared to Grand Duke Karol that he would return to see how his family was doing, and as he declared. The first person he wanted to see was Otilia, his wife, who swore to God and Archduke Carol, "Let's give all my love".

"... you"

"Oh, Otilia. Don't worry about it. There can't be more women in Wang Du than you."

"It's not... Sure, you used to be. That's no moderation, but I'm not worried about that right now. My problem is with His Highness Carol."

"... don't worry about that either. The confusion lasts for a while, but it will be over soon.

About Grand Duke Carol.

Needless to say, it is a coup he executed. The coup d 'état, which was executed with the support of some of the army, including the Wang Metropolitan Defense Division, did not give the political opponents who had not predicted it a clearance to fight back.

"I am well aware of His Highness Carol's character. And its ability. I am also grateful that I was able to marry a nice man named you. But... still, do this without consulting His Highness Emilia..."

"Right. I did something wrong to Her Royal Highness."

But the sound of the ringing bell never came back, he murmured.

It's not like he doesn't have any regrets of his own. But considering all event-information matters, as a result of hanging the Grand Duke and the Kings on the scale... he chose Grand Duke Carroll. There is also friendship with Grand Duke Carroll, but even without it the Duke may have chosen Grand Duke.

In the territory ruled by the Duke, the Kings were eliminated or even detained by the hands of their eldest son Vitort and their second son Stefan, who had preached the coup d 'état execution. The Imperial Consulate of Ostmarc, which has many Kings collaborators, is also placed under its surveillance.

And such circumstances include her, who was the only "princess" in the body.

"What happened to Maya?

"Looks like Vitort was persuading me... but I knew that kid wasn't going to change." I have sworn allegiance to His Highness Emilia. So I will give you mud, not loyalty, to anyone else. "

"... sounds like him. Well, maybe one of the three siblings could have a princess."

That is in case the Grand Duke fails to make a bet.

It is obvious that the Duke Krakowski family, who betrayed the Kings and gave them to the Grand Duke, is not safe. If the whole family were a Grand Duke then the house would crumble. But if there were only one king, he would be able to inherit the Duke's house.

The Duke thinks so, but he also knows that the Grand Duke's plot is a huge one to succeed.

It was the biggest barrier to the plan, and I stumbled upon the fact that members of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Kingsguard Division were dyeing their hands illegally, and used it to make things look serious.

In fact, it was not a major incident, but there were instances of "organizational fraud" that could legally and legitimately carry out the disenfranchisement and disarming of troops. Besides, it is an extra report from the most trusted subordinates.

Therefore, the plan is now well under way.

So Maya's body must be kept under control at all costs. If you do something bad and destroy the plan, even if it doesn't, it's dangerous for Maya...

"What's going on with Maya?

"I got him locked up in the basement. Put on the guard, too. Vitort told me that house arrest was fine, but that's what I instructed him to do."

"... that's a lot harsher. Why not?"

When the Duke wondered, Otilia tried and replied with a smile as her husband fell in love and made her daughter's inherited purple (Solferino) eyes shine with tears.

"Because Maya is a swordsmanship idiot like you. About" house arrest in your own room, "you'll jump out the window. If you get hurt, it's tough..."

---

Duke Krakowski's house dungeon.

This dungeon, which has not been used for more than a decade, has been used for the last few days.

"... five days from that day"

It is the imprisonment of Maya Krakowska, the eldest daughter of the Duke's third son.

But when you say incarceration in a dungeon, it's not like that of a prisoner. There were no iron lattice doors, no wallpapers, nothing but brick walls with just lighting windows. It was so full of stuff that I could say it was the Duchess' own room.

Bedrooms, furniture, lighting, books, and nearest samurai (maids). And even with regard to the dinner just served, the ingredients and dishes used are also used by the Duke's Lady.

What a luxurious dungeon.

"... now we even have to guard and shackle (this)"

That said, Maya eats carefully with a silver spoon, interrupted by iron shackles. The smell of well-simmered vegetables and iron tickles her nasal cavity.

For her to be a master of martial arts, shackled with two guards, but for her, she couldn't have a nice routine in a nice dungeon.

Besides, one of the guards is a man. How much a woman named Maya is stared at by a man who is neither masculine nor fond of anything but toilet or dressing time is something stressful about boulders. Even when you're in the bathroom and dressed, you're under the watchful eye of a female guard.

This is not something I could relax about… but I don't want to relax in this situation.

"Hey guard. What is His Highness doing now?"

…………

Besides, I don't have anyone to chat with.

The nearest samurai have also been ordered by Mayan fathers not to speak the minimum necessary language.

(What would happen if His Highness Emilia were in custody? If what your brother said is true, Prince Valter will take you to the Ostmarc Empire... no, then you could be caught up around the Imperial Intelligence Department. It is unlikely that he murdered her... then safely keep an eye on Her Highness and prevent her from fleeing is the Palace of Wise Men in Wang Du or around the Chancellery...)

Yes, in her head, she grabs the bread while planning an "operation to recapture Her Highness Emilia".

At present, the biggest problem is the guards and the closest samurai, and when one person still has as many as three, it is difficult to escape. How to break through this was the primary gateway.

When Maya was thinking about what was going on, she heard footsteps through the stairs across the iron lattice. From there emerged her brother, the brother of Governor Vitort and Stephan, the Duke's second son.

"Long time no see, Maya"

"Long time no see, brother."

Maya interrupts her meal and talks to her real brother across the iron lattice.

"Dad's home."

"Really? How have you been?

"I've never seen my father go badly.... I'm just terribly tired."

When I heard that, Maya was relieved.

Well, how do you remember physical and mental fatigue when betraying your father?

"I'm not young anymore, so I didn't want you to have to."

With that said, Maya expressed regret regarding her father's betrayal. But as Stefan, I was sorry that my only sister didn't tell me about this side.

"I'm worried about Maya's future. My father wanted me to convince His Royal Highness not to blame him..."

"Perhaps before that, I will do my righteousness. Whatever it takes."

The Mayan word had two meanings.

That he will surely crush the Grand Duke's plot and show his loyalty to Princess Emilia. And the other thing is... if failure were confirmed and Princess Emilia's future closed, I would close the future by my own hands.

"... I hope you'll change your mind so you don't"

Probably not possible, he added, whispering.

In fact, because her loyalty has not disappeared even under this desperate circumstance.

It has a Mayan desire for His Highness Emilia to live a happy life.

"Maya. My dad's meeting with you tomorrow. By then, think about it."

That's what I said. "Bye," my brother waves and runs up the stairs. Seeing that look, Maya shrugged in her head.

Think about it, it's a lame story.

I don't have to think about it, because my life is dedicated to His Highness Emilia a long time ago.
