"Hih!?
"Oh, you are...... Sha, Shirley...... are you......!!?
Jenna and Elena, Shirley in their memory, were weak and warm daughters, characterized by a lowered eyebrow butt. From childhood onwards, this parent, who continued to abuse Shirley as an adult arm and as the head of the family and their favorite recipient of power, has only faced Shirley with a frightened look on her face.
The real daughter, who looks at each other again after more than a decade, looks down with two colored eyes with a quiet anger sharpened like a blade in her hand, not even looking at the root of her eyebrows and trying to hide her displeasure.
"Ko, what the hell are you going to do with this!? Wow, I am the Duke of the Empire!?
"Well, let's not! Do so much of our mansion......! This could be a fine international issue!?
"Phi, what the hell is His Highness Philia going to do too!? They are invaders who have attacked the Empire!? Above all, proof that it has attacked the Algrey territory, the main city, its lord's mansion!
But even if they rot, the two have reigned for years as the heads of the great nobility. We immediately understand that it is we who appear to have been unilaterally harmed from the side, and that Shirley or Canary is not an imperial citizen, and try to manipulate the surrounding cards by shouting out loudly with international problems and acts of aggression, so that we can be in our favor.
"Since when did you become a traitor, such as standing beside such unexpected people and not capturing them while keeping them surrounded by all these handkerchiefs!?
I will not forget to disparage Phyllia, even more of a political enemy. We can be so strong on our royal opponents because we are confident that we are not being held to evidence that we will be disadvantaged.
So far I have dyed my hands of many evils while covering up and hiding with power, so the management of the area has been tighter than anyone else. Therefore, Jenna and Elena can openly act as if they were victims.
"The actions of the two of you are the result of the request and execution made to Shirley and Canary, whom I am the adventurer, as the person in charge of the last seat of the Imperial family and as head of the police"
"…………………?
But that is only a story that is forgiven if the prerequisite of not being held in evidence of evil is met.
"Don't you see? This is not an invasion or anything else, but a formal request made to the Kingdom's Adventurer Guild by police representative Philia Ragdor. It's about securing the murderer lurking in the Lords' residence on Algrey territory."
"Hey, murderer...? What... what are you talking about?
Jennan trying to get through just pretending not to know. The way you said you really don't know anything from tone to modus operandi is so prestigious that you fall in love, but everyone surrounding Jenna and Elena doesn't look confused either.
"Well, don't you recognize a man like this?
That being said, as the canary rang its fingers, a man emerged from the swirling golden magic, restrained, poking his knees and continuing to whine about bumps and something with his items dropped. He is one of the raiders who appeared in the bordering city. Neither Jenna nor Elena remember a single piece of abandoned pawn face, so they tilt their necks.
"And I don't. What does a man like that say?
"No, he's been ordered to set up a party of over forty inmates to assassinate two ten-year-old ordinary people who are out of the country on purpose... well, let's see who ordered that."
Assassination of two ten-year-olds outside the country. Those who did not know the details of what they had heard of it turned their gaze towards the raiders, and Jenna and Elena tasted the sensation of sassy noise and bloodthirsty.
"Wow, we were... taken from childhood by the Algreys... raised as assassins... kingdom adventurers... Shirley's... orders to assassinate our daughters..."
"Ugh, it's a lie! It's cod! Your Highness, you mustn't believe the words of a man who doesn't know any horsebone like this! This is some kind of ruse to discredit us Algreys!
Jennan's mood, shouting up to hide the man's words, was filled with agitation and anger. I don't remember my face the same, but I was convinced that the man was one of those who ordered the family order to go out and assassinate Sophie and Tio. Even though he was captured, he said he never left evidence and raised him to keep information out of his mouth, this man mouths a worn out and inconvenient truth as he is asked.
"I moved the police to resolve one outstanding matter and thoroughly examined disturbing information about the Algrey family and its territory. In the meantime, I learned that in the five orphanages run by the Algrey family, the whereabouts of the children whose foster parents were found and taken were largely unknown, and that the information on the foster parents who took the children was false. That's about the same number as a missing child."
Jennan's words, which were majestically vomiting excuses, clog.
"That began to happen a few years before you succeeded to the Duke of Jennan Algrey. In addition, when you were called the Duke's Successor Candidate, it was also around the time when many other Successor Candidates who existed suddenly died."
…………
"The police went after the missing children. And eventually, after removing the child from the orphanage in his own name, he secretly handed it over to the Duke's house and found a few people who were receiving the money."
…………
"And today, Master Shirley and Master Canary, who captured forty-five raiders who appeared on the border of the kingdom, suddenly visited me. A magical glimpse of their memories revealed that they were all missing children taken from an orphanage run by the Algreys."
He taught children without parents to defend themselves to use illegal means while killing their emotions, even as if they had been taken by good men, and to die of themselves if caught. Philia's mouth tells me that the head of the Algrey family, who has been at the apex of nobility since the founding of the country, is doing such a harsh thing that the servants who worked without knowing anything are stunned.
"The trafficking of slaves, which is strictly prohibited by international law… is a felony applicable to the development of slaves heavier than that. I knew very well how much our royal family had been overlooked when your puppet, your brother, had to rule, and how secretly we had been doing this since my father and mother were alive."
"WHAT... WHAT DO YOU BASE THAT!? We swear by the goddess of the sky that the horrible imitation of the cultivation of slaves, etc...!
"This is the administrator of the children we took away, testified from the mouth of the Algrey family decree that we arrested a few days ago. You know that the testimony of the decree will remain evidence if it is proved authentic by the Monks of the Holy Nation, the Neutralists, right? … His testimony has already been treated as evidence by the Holy Nation stationed at the police headquarters, so you have already packed it."
"What? What's stupid...... I can't believe you arrested me a few days ago. Our family order is still……………………………………………………"
I'll look at the family order I talked about this morning. He, who should have sinned in the same way, instead of being detained, saluted other police officers, distorted his body into gnarly and transformed himself into a total different person.
Look at that. Jennan understands. The identity of the decree he had been dealing with for the past few days was the magic of transformation or illusion, a secret detective who explored inside information while keeping Jennan and the others from getting suspicious.
"In the course of the investigation, we secretly arrested a family order whose guilt had been established before you, and forced a secret detective to sneak in in in disguise to explore the inside. And after interrogation and magical viewing of memories, I found it interesting."
When he gripped his fist so hard that blood seeped in, and breathed deeply as he exhaled anger emotions, Philia told him in a harsh tone, like a judge who would pass the sentence on to the sinner.
"He was the perpetrator of the assassination of my parents, the late Emperor Lugland and his Queen Elizabeth, and the cook and poisoner who harmed himself with the poison poison he was planting in his back teeth after the crime. That the Algrey family took it from the orphanage and educated and prepared it as a disposable assassin under the leadership of the decree."
de facto, is a death sentence. Even though they are the leading nobles, the assassination of the Head of State is never acceptable, nor is there a statute of limitations. Under the current law, where just testimony can be evidence, there will be no way for the Jenans to be helped at the earliest. The two of them floated their despair in color on their faces, but they just had to drool.
"On the arrowhead where these felonies were discovered and attempted to board the arrests, the foolishness, which would also constitute a violation of the treaty with the kingdom, which arranged for non-interference, aimed at Master Shirley's son, was informed by the Canary who visited me on a spatial transfer. I don't think there's the fastest way to help."
Not other personnel, but from the police, they involved Shirley the outsider in the arrest drama in the form of a request, also because of the probability of being able to arrest him, but to make Shirley put a bullet in his own hands.
When he wraps up mercilessly, Philia turns her gaze toward Shirley.
"Finally, do you have something to ask me?
…………
Shirley, who was turning her frozen eyes to her real parents, closed her eyes for only a moment and exhaled deeply.
"Okay, just a little bit"
"…… Shirley…………!
Parents and daughters face to face again. Jenna and Elena, who had previously sank away, stare at Shirley hatefully as if breathing back, distorting her face into anger.
"Yours... it's your fault! If you don't get in the way... if you're not born, this isn't happening...!
"You infidel!! Even though I've been struggling because of your hair and eyes!! If you think you can finally drive us out of sight, make us unhappy even far away!! Are you having so much fun tormenting us!?
"Unexpectedly.........!
Lumigliana, who held back next to Philia, accidentally exposes her anger to Jenna and Elena, who put what they did on the shelf and slap her resentment at her real daughter, but Philia controls it with one hand.
"... is my hair and eyes that neglected?
"…… What?
"There is a sense among the imperial nobles that they look neglected. But is that enough to make you feel neglected even by a real daughter married to the royal family? Or... is Alice the only one who's cute by then? Daita, you were more or less involved in the wrongful acts that were committed against me, right?
Ordinary aristocrats, if they decide to marry the blood of the Head of State, take care of it at the very least, no matter how neglected the child. Still, they were trying to get rid of Shirley even though the Emperor was going to look at them first. What the hell drives them...... when asked so, the two bow down shaking in anger.
"That's what I'm saying... that's what I'm saying, but it looks like that woman we hate...!
"…… that woman?
"My sister, Ligret, once killed in a succession fight. Even though I was just tough with my gray hair and odd eyes, don't look like my hateful sister every time I go over the moon, you are......!
Shirley tilts her neck when it was her first ear that she had an aunt. Apparently, resemblance to that aunt is the backbone of their attitude toward Shirley.
"He was a brilliant guy, Ligret was! Even though I am the eldest son and should have been in the closest place to my successor, I am so blinded by my father as the next Duke! Can you understand that? Not even my eldest brother, but more importantly my sister, my scholarship, my martial arts, my politics (every single thing) kept showing me a lot of difference! Bearing with my father, who only expects my sister as he turns his gaze of disappointment at me, our pain has come to resemble not only the face but also the contents of the fruit daughter born with the abominable" Grey Haired Ghost "hair and eyes on Liguret, who was finally able to eliminate it by creating an assassination slave!
If you look at Elena, she has eyes that hold the same anger as Jenna. Apparently, she has also been forced to lick her spicy acid by her aunt, Ligrette.
"Then why did you try to reach my daughter now? We just wanted to live quietly, not with the Empire."
"... only those who inherit the blood of the Algrey family will inherit the governor of our Algrey family. Only you and your twin daughters can qualify for that and form offspring. Assuming you return to the Empire, one of the twins will inherit the flourishing Algrey family governor."
I see Phyllia, who should have both a brother and a brother, but Shirley immediately understands the situation. It's a house that produces dust if you tap it. Unlike Alice, who was just doing everything we could, my brother and I would have already been arrested.
Even though blood doesn't have to be connected, and I don't think that if I want someone to succeed the housekeeper, I should adopt him or take him, but for nobility, descent is sometimes more important than reason.
"We can't overlook that concern, even if it's a slight possibility! Why should I let the child of my daughter, like the rebirth of a tough" grey-haired ghost "or the rebirth of a neglected ligret, inherit the house! That's my title I finally got after all my hard work! Can I give it to a daughter like you?
The prestigious Duke of Algrey head of the family to the Empire. I guess that's all about Jennan's pride. Taking it from a neglected opponent may be tantamount to death for him.
Jennan and the others finally calmed down and continued to exhale shallow and take away the facial insurance. Then he smiled distorted this time and ordered Shirley to do something incredible.
"Shirley...... We raised you generously, even if you were abandoned and drowned wild, until you were ten. Wouldn't you be able to break this siege and let us get away with it? Now would be the time to give us back what we were raised to owe."
"... right. That way, I'll flush everything down to the water. Write your memoirs that neither you nor your grandchildren will succeed the governor of the Algrey family, and you will not be targeted for your lives in the future."
Just to say, did you regain a bit of calm, so much cursing noise while conveniently proclaiming that we should help. To the shamelessly good Jennans, Shirley stows the love knife in both hands in the Toolbox of the Brave and slowly walks over.
"… When I was a child, I dreamed of a day when you would recognize me. Because Alice and I lived to support it with hope that the day would come when we could be really close sisters. Someday you'll be able to transcend the pan and become a family."
"It's not too late now. For all the trouble you've caused us, you serve us. That way -"
"No, you don't have to."
Blocking Jennan's words, Shirley's monologue continues.
"Because I could only meet you because you were abusive. In the Imperial Castle, or in the inn of the kingdom ahead of the exile, with those who seem to be true parents. Even if there is no blood connection, there are people who feel more connected. … so I don't want anything from you anymore, and I don't expect anything from you"
Removing it from the Toolbox of the Brave instead of the Love Knife is a heavy sword two wave. Turning its belly down, Shirley swung up over her real parents, who felt no connection whatsoever -
"Instead, as a parent's jerk who was after her daughter's life… I will do what I have always wanted to do to you."
He shook it down with all his strength and sophistication. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and the screams are scratched off by the direct hitting sound that sounds like a bell in the sunset sky, and by piercing from the tip of the head to the back of the foot without any dispersion of the power and impact of the blow, the two, whose feet to the neck drift into the ground as if they were nails hit with a gavel, peel off their white eyes and drool their covets while still standing like a raw neck.
"Nor am I a child who enforces parental love at all times. I grew up raising kids.... so I won't imitate it like I would kill you right now. That you targeted the lives of my daughters, and that you killed my first parents. You will be tried under the law for that sin."
