- Rubias Perspective

"Ha..."

Breaking up with my buddies, I was walking alone down the road to the castle sighing again and again. I'm not sighing because I'm afraid of enemies or thin. I'm just a little depressed thinking about the work I'm going to have to do.

I don't know what to say myself, but I'm not very good with people. I would reply if I could talk to you, but I can't wave a cut of the conversation from myself, so many people who talk to me can't stand the silence and leave with a loving laugh.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't mean to be particularly intimidating or blaming them, but the royalty's - it's also a person who takes an image far from the position of princess - seems to make them do so.

"The princess is not always aware of her smile. Then the lords will flee."

I remember Sepia, who had sidelined me since I was a child, saying that sometimes. At first, of course, I was aware of the smile so that people could play the princess they wanted. But at one point, when I overheard the samurai talking at the end of the aisle that happened to take me down the street, I gave up playing like a woman.

"Master Rubias's smile scares me"

Since then, I have been shocked to the point where I have immersed myself in the training of my sword so as to shake off my strays, to this day. It also depresses me because I now dress up as a town daughter and have to draw information from the soldiers and knights of the castle.

(I agreed to it without thinking about it in front of the master, but it might have gotten a little quicker)

Though at a slower pace than usual, there was not an infinite distance to the castle, and I had reached my destination at some point.

The main entrance facing the city's boulevard is unloaded with a sturdy iron plaid. Even though it had previously been freed for anyone to pass through, its gates were now tightly closed so as to frighten them from a raid from something. Count Grom's castle has no moat for accuracy when I say it's a bigger mansion than a castle.

So the surroundings are protected by high and sturdy walls.

(There is also an increase in the number of watches…?)

There were more than twice as many soldiers patrolling the castle. But when I looked at them in detail, there was one thing in common. I don't feel motivated. Even though the soldiers in this city were under the impression that they were behaving in a disciplined manner, either for the subordination of a person who says Count Grom or even to the soldiers at the end, as far as the present situation is concerned, they clearly feel out of hand. I guess this is still why Count Grom is under house arrest.

(Is it difficult to break into the castle in this situation? Then it's quicker to talk to soldiers)

I decided to act as soon as I could. After hiding himself in the shadows, he observes the faces of soldiers passing by several times from afar. And when the person he was looking for came nearby, he slipped forward and suddenly sat down on the spot.

"Hmm? Hey, lady. Are you okay?"

As you can see, the two soldiers on the patrol immediately rushed over here wondering how I was doing sitting down.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling any worse?

"Yeah... suddenly I feel bad..."

With that said, I raise my head, which I was lowering. At that moment the soldiers' faces hardened to surprise, but they swallowed the words at their place.

"I'm feeling a little sick. Can you take me somewhere I can rest?

"Oh well. That's tough. Then you should rest in the jar. Hey."

"Yes, sir"

With that said, the soldiers held my body from both sides and headed to the stuffing house around the castle. A soldier has a daughter who is ill on the shape, but nearby you will know very well that she is not. Because the soldiers have a surprising sweat on their foreheads, and they don't try to talk about anything.

"Will it be all right if we get this far..."

There are many soldier packs in the city, and it is one of them that we have come. It is not unnatural to give sick town daughters a break because this place is frequented by various soldiers and city dwellers for them from time to time. The door was closed, and one of the soldiers who had two as soon as people's eyes were gone - the old man opened his mouth.

"I'm surprised, Master Rubias. I can't believe you're dressed like that."

"I'm sorry. I couldn't think of any other way to make contact."

Stop the two of you who tried to kneel. You two seem confused about talking to your royal opponent about staying upright, but you need to avoid the risk at all if you don't know when who's coming in.

I chose them simply because I remembered their faces. I don't have much conversation with the soldiers in the castle, but I don't for all soldiers, and sometimes I talk to soldiers with contacts in sword training, etc. I had such a relationship with these two.

"You're somehow guessing why I approached you dressed like this?

"About the Count?

"Yes."

Again - he nods in the way he says. The lack of motivation of their soldiers can be inferred from just looking at them. Suddenly an unknown nobleman and his subordinates, coming from the Wang capital, placed their Lord under house arrest, who had laid down good governance in the city for many years. Now seriously do your job - especially if you don't mind capturing our brave party.

"Let's just get straight to it. How is Count Grom doing now? I want you to give me as much information as you can, including his family"

"Okay. It is the wish of Master Rubias, like no other. Let me give you as much information as I know."

The young soldier looks a little anxious, but he just had a grin about it. Of course, I didn't know what would happen later if something like this came up. It could be harmful to him or his family. But now is not the time to say that. I just have to find someone who's going to take a little side and get to that power.

"The Count is safe. It's just that his wife and daughter are locked up in jail."

They put you in a locker? You didn't even sin? Is it Brother Steed's instructions, or the arbitrariness of the nobles who have boarded this city? Do something unscrupulous in any case.

"Are you two safe?

"It's not like I saw it directly because of the different jurisdictions, but from what I've heard, it's pretty debilitating. Meals and water seem to be given, but when you are physically and mentally exhausted from unfamiliar prison life..."

Saying, he bites his lips with regret. He is the wife and daughter of the lord he admired. I don't know much about that.

"The Count can't move because his wife is being taken hostage?

"That's right. Initially I tried to take the soldiers and free them, but the power of the black knight they have is overwhelming... We had no teeth at all."

The soldiers in this city felt good overall, but are they not even enemies? Then the rescue needs to be done quickly and secretly. The soldiers suddenly knelt on the spot when I was arming myself and thinking about it.

"Oh, hey!?

"Please understand that I can't. Dear Rubias! Please, help my Lord and his family!

"Even if we want to help, we don't have that power! Please!

If it is an ordinary princess who has no power to fight who is being arranged for a nomination, she will have to refuse even if she does such a favor. But I'm not. I'm a brave man, even if I still can't help it. He is also a disciple of a master who once saved the world. There's no way I can leave this situation alone. I nod to them. I'm forced to put a bad smile on my face.

"You don't have to worry. I'm going to. As far as the current state of the country is concerned, there's no way I'm going to keep cloud cover. Then you have to be prepared and stand up. Let's start with Count Grom in front of us."

"Oh, thank you!

"Thank you! Dear Rubias!"

I can't go back any further than I've spoken. First of all, the chains that bind Count Grom - that is, we need to help his wife. But if you were helping one side or the other, there's a risk that the other side will be killed. things needed to be done at the same time.

"You don't have enough hands on my own. I went to see what was going on in the city, if I didn't have the help of my master or Dieria."

I promised them I would help and I decided to go back to the city once.
