I Favor the Villainess
100. Pursuit
The day after the assassin attacked us, we were coming to the royal palace.
When I asked His Majesty to see it under the combined names of Claire and Lily, permission was immediately granted.
It's impossible if it's normal, but it's the thing.
"Are you here?"
……
Upon entering the gaze room, His Majesty and Suras had already arrived.
There is no such thing as a queen.
Rumor has it that Yours is lying on the floor after letting go of his right to inherit the throne.
There are several other close guards lined up.
"It's late. What is keeping His Majesty waiting?"
Sarace says shaggy.
"I'm sorry. I was just dropping by."
Even to Sarace's dislike, Master Claire had a cool face.
So, what can I do for you?
His Majesty asked.
This is a play, of course, because the matter was communicated when the application for inspection was made.
"Your Majesty, I have come to charge Chancellor Suras with sin"
Master Claire said so with dignity.
The look on Suras's face remains the same.
"What is Sin of Suras"
"Your Majesty, these people are making a point that I don't even have."
"Yes, it's not an argument or anything"
Looks like Suras is going to cut Shira till she gets tired of it.
It would be because we know that the King's Sovereignty has not been activated.
Master Lily sadly denies it.
"Are you still going to say that I am unjust?
"No, I won't."
Surras looks surprised at Lady Claire's words.
Master Claire continued.
"Sin of Sir Suras… it's an external attraction."
"... what...?
Suras' complexion eyes played the light sharply.
Master Claire doesn't mind continuing.
"Master Suras is connected to the Nah Empire, an enemy nation."
"Please don't say anything stupid. There's no way that's possible."
Oh, man, Sarace shakes his head all the time.
His Majesty listens quietly.
"Your Majesty. Some of the radical civilian movements taking place in this country are not solely responsible for anything His Majesty's policies. Sir Suras is working with the Na 'l Empire to fan it."
"That's ridiculous. Your Majesty, do not listen to such euphemisms."
Suras tried to finish the conversation by saying that this was all he could see.
"I have proof. Right, Ray?
"Yes."
I took it out of my bag.
"Then, stupid......!
When I saw what I had in my hand, Suras was stunned.
It is a demonic prop of a slightly older record.
I put magic into magic props.
- If we revolutionize in the kingdom, the empire will assure me of the top position of the new regime, won't it?
- Oh, I assure you.
- What's the specific hand supposed to be?
- Use your fool king's policy. We need to radicalize the civilian movement.
- Oh, I see. Then it's easy. The people are stupid.
"That's enough."
His Majesty stopped me, so I stopped the demon props.
Suras is losing his complexion and standing up.
"Suras. Are there any openings?"
"Your Majesty, this is different! That... is a ruse!
"Whose ploy is it?"
"It's..., it's..."
I am a checkmate.
"You guys... why are you doing that...!
Claire responded to Sarace's resentful question.
"Of course, it's from the safe in Master Suras's office."
"Stupid! I'm the only one who should know the number of the dial!
"This guy did a great job there. Right, Ray?
"Yes. I mean, this kid did it for me"
I swung upside down as I spread the bag.
Something transparent and amorphous emerges with Po Bin.
"Ma, demon!?
The proximity guards flashed for a moment at Suras' cry, but His Majesty stopped them.
"I am an obedient demon, so there is no danger. See, the nucleus is golden, right?
"Hmm. Sounds like it"
Your Majesty has courage.
I lifted Ralea, and I showed Suras.
"Don't you think this kid looks like something?
"What are you talking about?
"It's an ice object in your room."
"... ah"
Here's the seeding.
When I made a fake deal with Sarace, I snuck Ralea into my room.
That's how I let him get into the room objects in Undine, Rare's pseudo-abilities.
One word I said when I left Suras' room that the demon props on the record would disappear is to make Suras check the demon props in the vault once, and hence to manipulate the dial once.
After that, you can retrieve Ralea and make him do the same thing.
He is a former demon and an insult.
My kid is smart.
"You... you conspired...!
"Yes."
"Or, beware, Father!
A Kingsguard surrounded Suras.
Suras is moderate in water, but he shouldn't have been good at combat capability.
In addition to the Kingsguards, there are also Lady Claire and myself on this occasion.
There is no better way to cut through Suras.
"It's time to pay your annual contribution, Master Suras."
"... cum"
"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Suras made a mockery.
Did I even distract you?
"Hey... I got hit. Big deal, Ray-Taylor on Claire-François"
Cardinal Lilly, too.
"No, that shouldn't have been very helpful. Think back. Whether he ever acted in a way that would harm me."
I thought it was a myth, but for once, I'll look back.
Then I realized that Master Lily had ever questioned Master Suras, but had done practically nothing against Suras, regardless of the other nobles.
"So what is it?"
"No, think it's funny."
……
"I wonder how it feels to be betrayed by those who believed in fellowship."
I accidentally tried Master Lily.
Speaking of Lily, I don't know what her father is talking about, and so on.
Is it still Suras' misery?
"Lily, help my father."
"Then don't tell me anything stupid! Your father should properly atone for his sins!
"Right. Then you have to make amends. own sins."
"Sa, since earlier, what are you saying! Lily doesn't know what your father is talking about!
Does Suras extend beyond this and expect Master Lily to turn around?
No, something's wrong.
"Lily...... poor girl.... Lord, have mercy (Killier Eleyson)"
I guess the last word was some kind of keyword.
As soon as I heard that, Master Lily collapsed.
"Cardinal Lily!?
Lady Claire rushes up to Lady Lily.
I had a fiercely unpleasant feeling.
"Master Claire, get away from me!
Forget the salutation and scream.
When I peeled Claire away from Lily, a silver arc flash scattered a few pieces of Claire's blonde hair.
The next moment...
"Not at all..., I don't like it"
A bright voice echoed out of place.
"You..."
"Hey, to Mr. Ray, Dear Claire, it's been yesterday"
A completely unusual voice color and expression.
Especially the voice color, it looked just like that masked man's.
