Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

"Don't bother calling me, Lord Holbeck."

"Don't worry. It is the duty of the aristocrats to serve the kingdom."

"Hmm, it would help if you could say that. No one else has called Sir this time. I wanted to know about the situation in our neighbor Manastella."

"Manastella... is it"

"Hmm. Where I hear that, when I was younger, Sir had studied in his country, and there are still many acquaintances? Then I think it's the quickest thing to ask your lord about Manastella."

"Well... what exactly?

"Hmm. There was a change of throne in the Manastella royal family in the past (OK). You think the Duke of Cleaver family was emptied at that time? As prime minister, I want to know jewelry. I'm sorry, I've heard of the friendship between Sir and his Duke. I won't imitate the wound, but I think it's noble business to answer."

The Chancellor relentlessly issues an inquiry, citing the words of Sir Holbeck.

"... Did you know that the present King Manastella is actively trying to develop his country by connecting with elves and dwarves?

"No... I don't know if I studied it... but when I went out of my way to say 'the present king,' my predecessor - and perhaps the Duke of Cleaver family - didn't, did he?

"The Duke of Cleaver also wanted the development of the country, but the opinion was that that development should be accomplished only in the hands of his own people. In the long run, we thought it would be a measure of emigration to despise the technological development of our own people without blinding ourselves to the immediate development of connecting with elves and dwarves."

"Is that disagreement under tragedy..."

"Not only that, but Yaltanism showed the duke how thick it was to rub, because of it, the duke was seen like a leader of the subdukes, and the domestic elves and dwarves tied together in the anti-duke position. As a royal family, I can't help but see such a precarious situation… I have to crush it…"

"Hmm. So the current king personally says there's nowhere to include in the Duke's house?

"I think it would have been Ning's bitter decision. The present king and the Duke are as good as your brothers.

"Hmm. So the Duke was executed by a clan royalist."

The Chancellor trivially throws the most wanted question, but Sir Holbeck doesn't change one complexion either - no, lay your eyes down in pain - and answered the question.

"Yes, that's what I'm asking"

"It's hard to talk about. Forgive me."

"No, I hope it helps"

When Sir Holbeck backed off with a courtesy, the door of the next room opened without sound, and the king appeared.

"Well, what do you think of that?

"First of all, there's no doubt Sir Holbeck is hiding something. There was a slight tension in my voice."

"You think it was Lord Holbeck who brought him into our country?

"I can't be sure, but at least I'm sure I'm involved in something. But let us also be certain that we will never admit it."

"There's nothing more to include in the orphans of the Duke of Cleaver's family than hostility to the Manastella royal family."

"If we bring him (or him) into this country, as Lord Holbeck also said, it is inevitable that he will cause unwanted tension with the elves and other subhumans. Sir must also have a headache in that regard."

"Damn, if it's even Yalta, it's a little easy to talk about. Is there anything you can do as king?

"If His Majesty were moved, I can't read how the Subhumans or Yaltanism would move. I don't know if you want to look stranger at the moment."

"You want me to pretend to be a worldless fool?

"When His Majesty becomes aware of this matter, it is deemed that the matter was done at His Majesty's will. Your Majesty knows nothing about this matter."

The prime minister continues his words, as if to distract the king, who looked bitter and shut up.

"Not Sir Warren, but one thing bothers me..."

"What?

"Shall it be one of him (or) who entered our country at the behest of a slave trader?
