Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events
-10.2-19 Acerdyne 8
And the moment came suddenly.
"... Speaking of which, this morning, we're talking about another massive number of slaves being sent to Acerdyne's prison, right?
"Right...... By now, I wonder where the brave men are walking..."
A conversation between two pairs of men wearing thin robes like the desert people came into Eve's ears. Yes, for the first time since they came here, there were those who uttered the words of Acerdyne.
"(... Leo, sister!
"(Let's follow softly)"
"(………)" Kokuri
As a result, the three began to climb through the crowd and put on the back of the men with a face that didn't eat anything.
But the men, after all, stop talking about acerdyne. That's not because Eve's tail was found out...... It seemed to be simply because the topic ended there.
Then the men stopped at several stalls and shopped there. Brushes, parchment, ink, etc…. Apparently they can write letters. If you think about the times, I guess there's quite a bit of upbringing.
At that time, their outfits, hidden from the crevices of the robe, were not like those worn by the townspeople and adventurers, but with armor accompanied by the silver colour characteristic of Mithril...... From there, it looks like they were soldiers in this town. That too, perhaps, is a considerably higher soldier.
Realizing that, Eve and the brave Leonardo exchange consultations.
"(What do we do? Sister Leo, maybe you two are soldiers, right?
"(They will probably be the knights who belong to the castle here. From now on, if you get into the castle, you won't be able to trace it, so it's troublesome. You're in trouble......)"
And when two people are worried...... Another person on the spot mentioned this.
"(Here I am... trying to ask... I think...)"
"" Huh?
"(The two of you… talk appropriately…… please match…)"
And Leah goes three steps further without even hearing back from the braves...... I spoke without hesitation to the soldiers walking ahead.
"Excuse me... knights..."
Soldiers who listen to that voice and look back. Seeing where they reacted to the word "knight," it seems that the two were real knights, as Leonardo expected.
I mean, look at Leah.
…………
- We opened our eyes and looked at each other for some reason. The way it was, it was a reaction like, someone who wasn't supposed to be here showed up, but apparently it was their mistake... One of the knights who took me back inquired about Leah, looking altered.
"... what is it? What can I do for you?
"Yes...... Acerdyne... where...?
"(Wow, it could be a direct ball...)"
"(Is this okay...)"
Eve and Leonardo unwittingly fit in before Leah, who literally threw questions straight ahead.
Meanwhile. The knights on the questioned side, after hearing Leah's words, all aligned and strangely necked...... I turned to the castle and then I answered:
"... Acerdyne Castle in Titloot, Wang capital. It's the name of the castle here."
"" "What..." "
Though he circled around the castle and looked around for ”acerdyne," the three of them set their sights towards the castle, knowing that what they were looking for was the castle itself.
Then this time, from the knights, these questions fly.
"Can I help you with the castle?
Having heard that, Leonardo wonders if they have been suspected by soldiers and tries to utter a proper excuse... Leah starts speaking again before that word comes out of his mouth.
"I don't have enough men... to... divide the slaves... I thought..."
and then turn around, Leah, as if to make sure your question was good in what it is now.
Then the soldiers who saw it also turned their gaze against Leonardo and Eve, as they mimic Leah...... I'll talk to you about this question later.
"Are these people also slaves?
"No... Eve is... my sister"
Listen to that.
"Eh..."
—— and a brave man who speaks up. By the way, he is a slave to Leah... Sara just found out this morning that you were deluding her of her gender... The brave didn't seem to be able to wipe out the concern that Leah sees herself as a slave.
But Leah's words had a continuation.
"And... this is my brother (...)"
At that moment ——
"" "" Eh... ""
—— dissonance overlapping with (?). Apparently Leah wasn't as sweet as Leonardo thought.
