"Sir Singh Oberon, I heard from Benny and Mulan that there are bad rumors in the orphanage. I'm letting you look into it now. If there's a problem, don't worry, I'll fix it."
Count Moonriver also mentioned the orphanage after apologizing for not being able to see the Turish children.
“Thank you and I would really appreciate it.”
"By the way... where was Turish-chan born?"... I've never met you before, have I? "
Suddenly the count said something like that.
No way... did you realize that Turish was the daughter of an aristocrat?
Turish stares at me anxiously.
“Tulish lived with her grandmother in the downtown of this labyrinthine city. My grandmother died, she was left alone, and she was evicted from the house she was renting.”
"I see... I see." There may be examples of that in the future. We need to have some sort of countermeasure in place. "
Alright, I think I managed to mislead you.
"Turish... is that an abbreviation?" I don't think it's called Tree Schabel. "
Oops... I didn't think you were fooling me.
The count is staring at me with a fancy face.
Could it be... you've met Turish-chan at a young age?
"Well, Grandma, how do you know?" Tulish-san's name is Tree Shabelle. "
Shit... it looks like Rouge knew his name.
"Really!? Could it be... a tree?" Isn't it the tree shabelle of the Count Crescent house!? "
The count is grabbing Turish's shoulder in excitement.
I have no choice but to say this.
"Count, I'll explain.
This child is certainly the daughter of the Count of Crescent, Treeschbelle.
She survived the coup seven years ago and lived in this labyrinthine city in secret with a woman who was a nanny.
Now I'm dressed as a girl, but when I met her, she was alive as a boy. ”
I explained it to the Count.
I decided that it was better to talk than to hide it.
Of course, if anything happens to her, I'll do my best to protect her.
"Oh, my God!... no, no, no, no, no..."
"What was I doing..." "I didn't know you were in this labyrinth city..."
Besides, as a boy... I lived in poverty... and then I thought I'd live on the streets...
Ahh, I'm really sorry... sorry, sorry, sorry... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The count fell into tears.
Everyone around is surprised, including me, but I feel like I'm watching the Count speak.
Turish-chan is also dazed by the sudden.
“I'm really sorry.
I was in the Labyrinth City I ran... I'm so sorry I didn't know anything.
... Count Crescent... the general is my senior. We were getting along.
On the day of the coup... I happened to be in the capital when I rushed in, it was a worm's breath.
In the vanishing consciousness, I was entrusted with two things.
One is to ask for this country... even if you temporarily succumb to the traitors, you were asked to live and wait for the righteousness of the time.
And the other one was asked to help his family, his granddaughter.
I searched desperately for the Crescent family to survive.
And it turns out that my granddaughter, Tree Schabel, is dead or alive.
But... I was desperate to find it, but I couldn't find it.
I didn't expect to be in a labyrinth city..... "
When the count said that, he shed tears again.
I told the Count what I heard from Turish.
At the time of the coup seven years ago, Turish-chan, who was six years old, happened to be out with her nanny and escaped the difficulties.
After that, I lived a poor life like hiding in a labyrinth city with my nanny.
And I've lived pretending to be a man, just in case I didn't realize I was going to survive.
When he/she turned ten years old, the nanny told him/her about what happened seven years ago.
The fact that the nanny told me strictly not to cause problems on a daily basis.
She was told not to engage with the nobility in particular.
Even the noblemen who were close to the Earl of Crescent said that the noblemen who survived now did not know if they could be trusted.
and so on.
"I see... there's nothing wrong with the nanny's idea."
The count murmured with a sting.
"My grandmother... she decided to live here because she thought the labyrinth city was the safest."
Even so, he said he didn't know if he could trust Taisho-sama. "
Turish-chan said she was sorry.
“I'm sure it will.
With that caution, you must have survived.
I have to thank my dead nanny.
I surrendered to the difficulties of the capital and prioritized survival... It's only natural that I shouldn't be trusted.
Besides... if it had been in the ears of other nobles... especially the princely factions before I could hear it, it would have been dead.
It's boring... but I have to admit, the nanny was right. "
Having said that, the count shed tears again.
When I first met her, she was so hungry that she couldn't see the bottom of her stomach... and now she's crying with emotion.
Perhaps... I must have been desperate to find Turischi in order to protect what the late Count Crescent asked me to do.
I didn't know that I was living in a labyrinthine city, and I lived in an unhappy environment... so I'm sure I'm full of irresistible feelings.
As far as the tears go... this man seems to be trustworthy.
