- Magna Perspective

Leaving a few escorts, the knights hurried out of the room. To pay off a colleague who was beaten up by them. The remaining knights in the room have shown no hostility, but have not lifted their guard against them. Naturally, too. Compared to them, they are nothing more than herbivores in front of us and other carnivores. It is not a matter of knowing when you will be eaten at random. There is so much power opening between us and them.

Inside, I'm nervous, too, but I can't let that get to my surroundings. Even if you are royal, you will not lose your majesty at any time.

It was the Marquis of Bilago, the Lord of this Mansion, who came in to replace the knights who disappeared. He was sitting next to me, hardening himself into tension. It's hard to tell if that tension is against the two of us, or against me.

"So, what's the story?

Two women sitting across the street with a loving laugh - inside Karin and Ciel, that's what I ask of Ciel. At first glance, I can see that these two, Ciel, are more of a stewardship. You look like you have good control of a powerful swordsman named Karin, who tends to run wild. I mean, if we're gonna talk, Ciel's better suited.

The sire turned her gaze to Chilari and Karin before coughing one up and opening her mouth.

"There's not particularly much to talk about. Two things we were asked to do by Rubias. Only the gathering of information on the Wang capital and the search for the whereabouts of His Highness Magna. We've roughly finished collecting information about Wang Du and its surroundings using handouts, and then we're just going to bring the information back under Rubias that His Highness Magna is safe."

"... just gathering that information, my subordinates seem to have seen a lot of pain?

…………

I would also like to say one piece of irony if they did this so unilaterally. You've been poked where it hurts, and the two of you won't even try to look me in the eye. Totally...... Normally, most people look blue now, but these two don't seem to enjoy it at all. How thick are you?

"Well, that's good"

You thought you were forgiven, and you two bow your breasts down like a ho. I complained and the knights' injuries healed. Such a thing is a waste of time.

"Well, let's have this story heard next time"

"Talk...?

"That's right. There were a lot of things going on here. A lot of things before you came."

What were you preparing before you two broke into the mansion? Overview of the operation and the power gathered. And as we talked about the date and time of the showdown, I began to gradually sweat. I guess we finally understand that we've smashed up the big, important operational requirements. I made my body smaller like someone else before, and I leaned deep down.

"- And well, here's the thing. To put it bluntly, you two ruined everything."

"also, sorry......"

"Sorry......"

Two apologizing in a voice that's going to disappear. - Hmm, is this good enough? It's true that they broke the plan, but I'm not as angry as I say in words and attitudes. Because, unexpectedly, a huge force of war jumped in from me. There will be no hand in not using this. Only two of us can do this. To the point of getting into the castle and raising Steed's neck, he should be able to do it without making it.

"If you think it's bad, can you help me? If you can help me, the plan is going to work."

"It's not a rush to cooperate, but I think you should stop"

When I said that ungraciously, unexpectedly, the plan itself was denied. It was me who ate it for a moment, but I immediately put on my cold mask again.

"... what do you mean?

"Because Prince Steed hasn't stayed at the Royal Castle."

"What!?

I was told information I didn't think, and I stood up unexpectedly. If that were true, it would be a big deal. Because this operation itself was anticipated by the enemy, or in the worst case, even the presence of insiders can be anticipated.

"Marquis Bilago, wasn't Steed's trend supposed to be grasping!?

Unexpectedly stares at the Marquis of Bilago sitting next to him. He has been entrusted with the management of a secret detective in this king's capital, nothing short of a serious failure, such as his lack of grasp of Steed's trends.

"Wow, according to my men, I have not received any reports that Prince Steed has left the royal castle. Aren't those two just saying the right thing!? Oh, and! Where did you get that information?

Marquis of Billago, who says it like it's in a hurry. It certainly makes sense, too. If they're Rubias' people, they haven't been here long. Even though I say so, I may say that it is impossible, such as inside the royal castle - let alone keeping track of Steed's trends.

"Let's ask the two of you. Where's your source? Let me hear that first. I want to determine if I can trust my current information."

"I don't mind. There was something I wanted to ask you about the organization."

I told him to tear apart the identity of a good intermediate who even knows where the missing royalty is, and Ciel is even smiling in a hurry. No way, it's not enough for her to care about the existence of the interstate or anything like that? She gave me an incredible word in my ear with my neck over such a question.

"I used the Bandit Guild. With their help, I learned that Prince Steed was not in the Royal Castle."

"You say it's a bandit guild!?

Needless to say, it's a criminal organization that brings together all the bad guys. Though they are named bandits, their crimes do not remain just theft. Beginning with theft, he works every conceivable evil, including extortion, smuggling of illegal goods, and, at the end of the day, prostitution and murder. I didn't think it was very sane, such as helping those people. But they might be able to get information that we don't have. They say they're lurking everywhere...

"Well, with the help of those people, you don't feel ashamed! You are also responsible for a single stick of crime!

Even if the Marquis of Billago lets you fight it out, they're both cool faces. - No, you're not. Karin doesn't seem to know exactly what's wrong with her, but I'm guessing Ciel understands and uses what kind of organization they are. At present, I enjoy the flavour of tea as if I were not here, such as the exasperated Marquis of Bilago.

"I beg your pardon, can you afford to care about good and evil in this emergency? Use whatever you can. For the purpose of saying survive, don't we need a metric to shake hands with the humans we've been hostile to?

I think it's a terrible trick. But it's also true what she said. You won't be able to pick and choose in this situation. But...

"No way with a bandit guild...... It's too unexpected for words. But how did you get them to cooperate?

"Of course, it's money. So I have a favor for Your Highness, will you listen to me?

"... I only have a bad feeling about it, but let me ask you something. Say it."

"Yes, I promise to pay a thousand gold coins as a reward for their cooperation."

"Thousands!?

Before I was surprised, the Marquis of Billago was speaking out loud. He trembles his mouth puckering, like a fish seeking food. Because of him, I was a little calm.

"Guys, you got out big with a thousand sheets. But you wouldn't even have the option of telling me not to pay. I don't have it on hand right now, but I'll make sure to have it ready later."

"Your Highness!?

"What a surprise, Marquis Billago. If we betray them here, they'll sell us to the Steads this time. Not to mention a thousand pieces of gold, but even 10,000 pieces."

"Gu......!

That's right. I let him identify me so lightly. Even if Karin and Ciel wouldn't have gotten certainty if they hadn't gotten in directly, it's not a good organization to insult.

"I accepted the reward. So, what do we do next?"

I see them both as chills.

"You will cooperate with us as a substitute for the wounded knights."

"I don't mind that. Should we stay in this mansion too?

"No, I'm leaving the King's Capital. I couldn't figure out Steed's trends because there's a chance that information might be leaking from somewhere. I think once I leave the King's Capital, I will be in trouble for the local lords who belong to my faction. Then we rebuild the system."

I am concerned about the allies confronting the Steed army, but I have nothing to do with what I can do in the present situation. At best, obstruction work would be a good place. Do whatever you can to help their situation carry them in their favor.

"I wish I could get in touch with Rubias..."

That's what Karin, who has been silent until now, told me to whine. I have demonic props for contact, but I am currently hearing that the city of Suphore is being suppressed by the Steeds. If you want to make bad contact, there is a risk that this location will be supplemented, so I can't use that.

"I don't even think Rubias will keep his mouth shut like this. That's royal for once, too. Must start moving independently trying to figure it out"

"... right. Sure, Rubias would do something for me."

Is it trust in his sister, Ciel agreed immediately. He trusts himself unconditionally - with a little envy for his sister who puts such a presence on his side, I took a seat. Come on, we have to start getting ready to leave.
