Collect the Earl of Alistair and Mr. Gaelio, who were greeting the nobles in the royal castle, and head to the separate residence of the Alistair family in the king's capital.

The perimeter of a section with a royal castle makes it an aristocratic neighborhood where the nobles live. Many senior aristocrats own separate mansions in aristocratic neighborhoods, even if they usually lived in territories away from the Wang capital. The Alistair family also owned it as a matter of course.

Mansion maintained only by a minimum of servants. Still, it was kept at its best so that my husband could come back whenever he wanted. More importantly, I was ready to welcome him because there was a touch while he was on his way to the Wang capital.

The day we arrived in the Wang capital passed without a thing.

A few days will be busy greeting the nobles and using the Alistair family's separate residence as a base.

In the meantime, they say we're free to go. Yesterday, although I'm glad it was the Duke who talked me through, someone from the knight is supposed to escort me because it seems like it's a problem as a nobleman to be escorted by adventurers all the way inside the royal castle.

"... good morning"

"Mars, it's a long way too late."

In the dining room of the separate residence, Count Alistair and Mr. Gaelio discuss it over breakfast.

Several knights, including his brother, were resting when he moved to dining for servants and knights.

Me too, sit next to my brother and let him have breakfast.

It also has a sweet aroma of jam, whether or not it uses special ingredients in the aromatic bread that has been cooked and cooked. There are other hams and sausages, then salads. It's easy to prepare, but there's a fair amount because I'm dealing with knights.

"I'll have it."

... Welcome.

"That's fast!

"Because I was tired."

I recovered a little.

"Is something wrong?

"It's not that far. Last night, Dion cried badly at night, so he just drove me out."

Dion cries out every few dozen minutes about what he doesn't like.

Plus when Dion is grumpy, he cries out to Riel, the end of the day when the room is supposed to be away up to the twins. Sierra was the only one who didn't cry out, but she was horny about a situation where her brother or sister wouldn't stop crying.

"No way, you're home!?

"Yes, I stayed at the Mansion until about two hours ago, but I was supposed to stay here during the day, so I let him sleep only for two hours."

Thanks to the successful interference of Wang Du in the labyrinth, he succeeded in basing himself on Wang Du. Even so, it is not possible to travel anywhere, but to the bases owned by us in the Wang Dynasty.

It seemed necessary that it was our property, even if only nominally, so I bought a cabin in a separate residence in the Alistair family and had it temporarily renamed.

Thanks to this I was free to travel long distances.

Time with the center becomes a necklace when the border is based.

"Is your brother leaving, too?

"No, that would be just as bad"

My brother's gaze is directed at my colleague's knight.

They also have a family in Alistair. You can't just get yourself special treatment, he said no.

"Um..."

The Alistair maid called me to say that I was bickering in a dining room for servants.

"What's up?

"Customer visible"

Often, telling me means being a guest to me.

"Thank you"

"The customer is waiting for you in the reception room"

The maid leads me to the reception room.

Waiting in the reception room were three knights in armor.

"Nice to meet you."

You're so young.

Three knights sitting on the couch.

An old, gray-haired knight sitting in the center stares at me sharply.

"Well, please calm down."

"That's right. The king's capital was saved because they were here. Thank you. It's not a good idea to be evil."

A young knight sitting left and right is forgiving.

"I don't like adventurers. Even though they are powerful people in this country, there are no shards of loyalty to the country. I don't think he's willing to serve his country."

"Huh."

I can't say anything because I really don't feel like it.

"So, what can I really do for you?

"I'm here to report the results of the investigation"

reluctantly, the old knight reports with such expressions.

"Yesterday, the Duke of Foulshees was asked to confirm the body of the former royal family who had been executed"

The second prince is alive.

Having heard the facts of the shock from the labyrinth nucleus, the Duke decided to confirm first the royalty that should have been executed.

They were beheaded in front of the eyes of many ministers, even though they said they had been executed inside, and watched properly until the burial of the body's laid coffin. Though he had a coup, the body was politely buried because the royal family was his opponent.

"The body that was in the coffin that I dug up could be identified as the person of the former King and Prince Wang. But only the coffin, where the body of the second prince should be, was completely sleeping."

Place a piece of paper on the table.

Whether it was painted using some skill, the paper depicted a picture of the body delivered to the coffin as if it were real.

The former King and Prince Wang can only be said to have seen him as himself.

I can't be sure it's fake because I've never met him about the second prince.

"Fake, what is it?"

"Exactly. I don't know anything about this guy."

For a young knight to say, his face is completely different just because of his slightly similar physique. Her skin was also burned more than her own, and her body had a number of moles.

He seems to be a total different person if I make him say it from someone who knows the second prince.

"Did you execute that fake?

"It was undoubtedly beheaded because of the condition of the body, and the coffin in which the body was placed was immediately secured. It was a fake execution."

In other words, the second prince had been replaced with a fake before he was executed.

And no one thought the real second prince was alive or anything because the Shadow Man was executed.

The royal castle, having learned this fact, seems to be in a great hurry and is being pursued by the response.

"We are a special unit of the surviving Second Prince Search Corps. I heard you were supposed to cooperate in the search. It's troublesome, but you may need the knight's power. It's our job to work together at those times."

It may indeed require public power.

Knights possess stronger authority than lower nobles like barons in search and investigation. There is no doubt that it would have gone smoother with their cooperation.

I just doubt the knight has enough power to trust me.

"How could you not realize that the second prince you thought you executed was being replaced by an influencer?

"Here's what caused it."

Another piece of paper is served.

What was depicted was a small jewel with a fingertip size.

"This is a powerful magic tool, which, by embedding it in the human body, has the effect of transforming and transforming the embedded flesh into a human with registered magic. The body was found in pieces and carved from the head."

[Appraisal], which I went to before the execution because it not only degenerated into my appearance, but even my status, I decided it was me.

And being beheaded by execution severs the head and torso. The torso returns to its original appearance by moving away from the magic tools. He returned to his original form after running out of magic to maintain his magic tools for months when his head was also buried.

As a result, inside the dug coffin was put another person who returned to their original appearance.

"I see. I understand the circumstances."

I couldn't have seen through it without knowing that such magic tools were being used.

"So, how do we find it?

"Right - -"

There is a sure way to find it.

You can borrow 'Heavenly Compass' from Rio. But I don't want to borrow much, so I want it to be a last resort if I can.

One more thing. 'Pendulum' exists among the magic tools we have. However, in order to be eligible for this magic tool, you must know the person's face and minimum information. Let the knights help us here.

Let the young knight grip by putting out the Dowsing Pendulum.

"Imagine the second prince with this"

"Yes."

I will bear the magic necessary to use it.

A pendulum with a crystal on the tip sways, indicating a direction.

"Royal City...?

A young knight gripping a pendulum squeaks.

The pendulum showed a certain direction of the royal castle.

Prince Reginald was lurking in the Royal Castle whether he lived there before the lighthouse... not translated.

"This is a failure."

Magic tool that created the Shadow Warrior.

That's degenerating status as well as flesh. Dowsing Pendulum has reacted to the magic tools stored in the Royal Castle, the closest place from here.

If we destroy it, we might be able to chase it.

But with the authority I've been given, it's gonna be hard to destroy. That magic tool is important proof that the second prince, who thought he had been executed, was using Shadow Man. You can't possibly break it.

Besides, it's hard to think of measures to be taken when a second prince who is close enough to prepare is tracked while using magic tools to escape.

"Looks like we're gonna have to find another way down the tunnel."
