"Those three are the last. All external intruders have been terminated."

A sinister handsome man thanked me for sitting in a chair in the East Room.... I have personality to thank you for. This guy's has a cool and honest vibe.

... for some reason. For some reason, I had received a status report from the site manager at the garden in this plan. This guy also has a plan and they think I attended a semi ball...!

But thanks to you, I somehow figured out what the plan was.

Those who break in armed and from the outside, those who are mixed up among the invitees.

There are two types of benders to trap.

Those who snuck in as invitees in the venue in advance misled them into believing that they had guided their security to good condition, and the path of entry thus prepared was the proud garden of "Paradise in the Sky".

Here first the external group of crooks enter armed. Afterwards, we rendezvous with our internal companions, which is the enemy's prospect.

But they never rendezvous with their people. Because I've been swept away in the garden.

The rest are crooks hissing inside as invitees. I suspect things won't happen for long, and I'm supposed to get some kind of tail out...

Apparently.

Site manager - wearing uniform for security, in his late thirties or so, military! A gray-haired man with a feeling like that is waiting for me to open my mouth.

...... yeah? This person......

"You, Duke of Nightfellow's...?

When asked over the fan, the man only slightly broke his face.

"Yes, I serve Your Excellency"

"Again, you do"

Oh! I hit it! There's a mix of faces in the guards in the garden where I gathered with the men like I saw them a few times...? I didn't think it was a mistake! Uniform is what the venue belongs to, but convinced if the private soldiers of the Duke of Nightfellow's house are added.

And I haven't heard of you in a long time... Uncle, your men call you "Your Excellency" and admire you!

- And the sound of metal scrubbing sounded, and I looked more at the source.

"... are you from Cangina?

"Look closely, the blade has its characteristics. … this is all from Tahen"

"Tahen? Just one? Is it real?"

The three men defeated by Clifford were detained, due to the security of the venue, which came continuously. I have explained to this man how they wanted to roll with groans on the ground.

Now the possessions are being inspected before moving the crooks.

"Have you forgotten it's in front of Her Royal Highness? Be careful with your private language!

A man gave a sharp voice to his men, who would test the weapons the crooks possessed.

"Ha! Excuse me!

"Excuse me!

Two young men, reprimanded and stood up and saluted, correct their posture. Then he shut his mouth and resumed work.

- Is this Tarhen in here...

Think as you see how the dark vessels that keep coming out are sorted.

Gear that shows that the enemy was quite prepared underneath. Besides, you had a 'Tahen weapon'?

Does it have anything to do with the fact that 'submissive' lived in, Tahen was once the source of high-performance weapons? But technology has become obsolete, and although industry itself remains, when it comes to 'weapons from Tahen' nowadays, it principally offers what it used to make. It spills all over the Esphere and all the way to foreign countries at the end. They make it differently, and if you're a Xuan, they want a substitute even if you're loaded with a lot of money.

He looked weak because Clifford easily repelled him, but three crooks, could he be normally strong? I succeeded in escaping to Higashiya...

And speaking of tarhens, the original tarhen edition. Among the stinking events surrounding Master Sil, the name of Tarhen appeared many times, and finally the stage went to Tarhen - the stream.

"Your Highness, I apologize for putting you in danger because of our misdemeanor."

Thoughts are interrupted. A man was bowing his head deeply.

A little. No, you don't think there's a princess in that garden, even though there's a plan to build a hole in security and deliberately let the crooks break into the garden!

"Keep your head up, please. It's not your mess or anything. What I encountered with the crook was the result of what I liked to do. - I wish I hadn't interrupted the plan."

I'm seriously worried about that one over there!

"What is interrupting etc...... My lord, Count Reddington has both offered and included that we will not hinder His Highness's actions."

Oh, yeah...

It was no longer, alone, outside the mosquito net-! What an unspeakable atmosphere......!

I was cold sweaty inside.

The voice of the man responsible is lowered.

"Nevertheless - I was also ordered to make an exception if there is a high probability of danger to His Highness.... but it should have been?

His grim gaze is turned to Lust, who was thorough with bystanders, both when the crooks came and after they were defeated.

Man and Lust, site director in the garden. As the side that captures the crooks, it seems familiar. Apparently, it's also true that Lust said, "I'm an insider on the Count's side".

However, the man is on his uncle's side, and Lust is on Rosa-like's side.

"Your Royal Highness has asked me to come with you. It would be a disagreement of views. Until I decided that there could be no danger to His Highness."

Lust, who put his legs together and deposited his back on the back of the chair, spins the words without fail.

"While I was on the side to protect His Highness, I asked him that only the Knight of the Guard fought. How do you explain that we didn't fight despite the imminent enemy?

A man turned his eyes to Clifford, who refrained from behind me, before questioning Lust.

"With something that was round the waist. In order to dress up as a complete invitee as an insider, it would be better to leave it to the armed and in office than for me to take part in the fight, which was defenseless?

"- I'd like to know why it was a round hips."

Even Lust, about one of the weapons in case, it's not weird to have it, is it?

For once...... allies? Looks like - I'm psychologically resistant - even Master Rosa should allow it.

Like that young man, his amber eyes looked straight at me.

"On the face of it, I am attending a quasi-discipline as an invitee, Your Highness. Though it's moving on this side, only a few know the full story. If you're going to discover that I have something to gain or something at a stage where nothing is happening, it's going to be a fuss. - There are people in the world who just look at you and tell you they're hiding weapons."

Break it up... you mean Clifford, who found out Derek was armed! Speaking of which, did your uncle tell you about the plan, too?

"Of course, I thought if the crooks had weapons when they showed up,"

"... for that split, though I seemed to be able to afford it?

"Because there was a knight hall of His Highness's escort. It's an easy-going thing. But - things have happened, and the phase of fear of discovery has passed. I won't allow it with my whole waist. His Highness the Duke of Nightfellow. Would you lend me your weapon?

To Lust's request, the man shook his head sideways.

"I don't keep up with expectations. Count Reddington would have dared to give him his role as an unarmed invitee. We can't mess it up."

"... ok. Shall I pierce my role?"

Not so bad, Lust pulls back. You anticipated a fit around the time, one of the guards eared at the man. Looks like the inspection of the crooks' possessions is done, and those three are being carried out like luggage.

"Your Highness."

A man nodded back at my men and called on me.

"I will now come to the hall - Your Highness, how are you?

Huh? Uncle? I could see my own eyes sparkling.

"I..."

Well, I'm here to see my uncle too!

- But here I went through the back of my brain about the plan. Tone it down.

Where am I supposed to be?

Should I go to the hall as a servant, attract the enemies that are lurking, and help my uncles?

Or should we wait in a big, safe place with our failures in the garden at heart?

When you get lost, ask for the opinions of the people who are actually involved!

"I will also act to make it easier for the Dukes of Nightfellow and Reddington. As I am entrusted to the Duke, I want you to say what you wish for me."

My hope is, help my uncles! Help!

"It's - I've put you in danger, but now the safety in the garden is ensured. If you stay here until things converge, you'll never be more fortunate."

Wait... Right... But unconsciously I sued.

"Wouldn't it be right if I went back to the hall and acted as a planner?

"This is a stage where insiders mixed with invitees are being hunted down and more likely to cause harm to His Highness. Even if it's right for the plan, what His Royal Highness is going to do is impossible..."

Anyway, if nothing's happened yet, it means it's risky if I move poorly right now...

Besides seeing my uncle, I wanted to make sure with my own eyes, but I had no choice.

"Sounds like we'd better hear your point. Instead -"

I decided to do a little favor.

The sun sets, and the moon and the stars shine in the night sky.

The placement of the stars is different from what you can see from Earth, and although the names go hand in hand, it's not that moon. The moon in this world doesn't fill up, so it's always manly.

Illuminated by a light called a corner lamp, even when darkness comes, there is no infirmity in the view in the garden.

There's not a single sign of Clifford fighting the crooks, and the flowers shake in the night breeze, and the fragrant scent reaches East House.

Peace itself. At a distance visible in the distance, it is so frivolous that some of the men left behind are standing in a row.

The rest of the situation is the same as before the crooks attacked.

Clifford's holding back behind my left, and in front of me with my desk pinched, Lust.

Having decided to stay in the garden, I told the man in charge that I wanted to ask someone for it.

... just in case. I wanted to reassure you that it was nothing, but it was a favor.

The guard who undertook the favor has just returned with a look lacking in glory. To my ear, a whisper is made.

"- Tell Master Derek about this. Right now."

"Ha!"

Lust and I glanced at each other as we dropped off that hindsight running away and looked at us with interest.

"Lust Byrne.... are you involved?

"If you mean the plan to capture the crooks, for Your Highness's sake, we did our best?

Close the fan that was open.

"Stop blurring. You said you had another aim before the crooks arrived, didn't you?

"You said it."

- I don't know where Sil is.

"Did His Highness let that guard look into that?

"I can't move, so I asked him to see where Sil was at the venue."

But the guard who did the favor couldn't find Master Sil.

- At this quasi-discussion, the most irregular is Master Sil, isn't it?

Not that I was present, or that the anti-royal crooks moved on with it.

Again with the anti-royal crooks, there is another aim.

The target, Master Sil?

Sooner or later, the concern took a clear form with the unknown location of Master Sil. Such a person may already be in the venue.

When this happens, Derek will be paying attention, Master Sil will be working hard, and because of my mind, it's hard to think detached.

"You guided me on purpose, didn't you?... I'll ask again. Aren't you involved, too?

If you think of me like that, even I'm gonna flash!

"In His Royal Highness's concern? Is it possible that the guards could not be found because they were a little more open to good things and locked away from the eyes of His Highness Celius' surveillance? There are examples of this."

It was a quasi ball, a fussy mention of kidnapping, the fact that the person at the time was actually locked in a secret room and enjoying it for a long time, a matter that had happened in the past. But.

"Master Sil is playing a temporary game with someone other than his brother?

I laughed with my nose.

That's not it!

"Assuming someone seduces you, Master Sil won't take it."

Is it because of the pissy closed fan pointed at Lust and my confident assertion?

…………

Lust blinked his amber eyes.

That's what the original Sil did! Reality Shill too...... today is the first time you exchanged a lot of words without a brother, but you were watching a couple of brothers up close!

"Purely, I doubt it."

"I wonder what the hell you're wondering."

"Does Your Highness not wish to eliminate Sil Burkes? If Barks disappears, the current grief will be clear."

Lust took my place on the way the Esphere royal family is, made a statement.

The king marries the same sex. And the king's sister and brother gave birth to the next generation...

"... even if we were forced to eliminate Master Sil, nothing would change at all. I can't just let my current worries go away."

It's only a snuff on the spot, and I think it's the worst way to stay remorseful.

It doesn't make sense if I'm the only one who can avoid it. What if my brother marries a woman and I'm sorry to be of service to you, and in the next generation I'll be Ami the original tree again?

"Assuming there is a confrontation, I will, Master Sil - no, my brother and I will fight with dignity on the surface stage. I don't mean for Sil to leave in a place like this.... Has the question been dispelled?

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand your thoughts."

"Yeah, that's good."

Exchange your gaze.

Out of the way, Lust said.

"- I don't know if you believe me, but I'm not involved."

Yeah! I can't believe it!

Lust's words had a continuation.

"I just grabbed the trend of those after Sil Burkes,"

"What about Count Reddington?

"Why do you need to tell him? It has nothing to do with the plan to capture the anti-royal crooks."

"... that you have no obligation to help Master Sil?

"Is that not the role of His Highness Celius who is in the royal castle? Or your friend Derek Knightfellow."

"Do you have any idea where Master Sil is?

"Yes, I do."

It's not a lot, Lust answers.

"Tell me. That's where you want to be too."

It was Lust who threaded me.

"What do you think? I was interested, though. Your Highness abandons Burkes or not. … whether they brought you to the semi ball to eliminate it"

Become...!

Out of the question.

- Scared! You mean I kindly put Sil in the carriage after I learned of a separate plan to target him? What a ruthless princess! Wet clothes, wet clothes!

Lust was a shadowy character, but his thoughts were poisoned in the wrong direction.

"I didn't expect this to happen. His Royal Highness Octavia seems different than he imagined."

"... enough is enough for you. Are you willing to tell me where Master Sil is?

For a few seconds, there was time. A gaze like an observation stabs me.

"It's probably 'obedient' to be after Sil Burkes"

Lust told me where he was, not who was after Master Sil.

"Even if the enemy" obeys, "His Highness wants to know where Burkes is?
