"You're as wide as ever in vain."
My maid frowned at my first voice. I guess I thought they did. Sure, it's a big deal to rip the king's house off. But now I'm a sinner! Well, I guess it's exactly where the suspect is...... So I'm wondering if I can be forgiven for what I said. Well, let's just leave it at that, I don't know what the hell's going to happen now. Trial? There could have been a trial in this country.... There it is. Alicia was tried and convicted at the Bad End. I don't know if I was guilty of abusing Liz, but I've forgotten that I did something terrible anyway.
... Hey, maybe this means my trial is faster than planned?
Williams Alicia, this is suspect.
Wrinkled between my eyebrows, a man who seemed steadfast said that to me.
... It would certainly be stranger to be treated as such in the present situation. Master Duke's guard calls me Alicia, but if I say it in front of the king or something, I guess I'll be guilty.
"Come in."
Steady, he opened the big door forcefully.
... Oh, this is my first time here. I can't remember how I got here because I was walking around thinking, but it's a big, strictly built door. What's the pattern being carved... an eagle?
It's quite a tasteful door design. I'd love to meet the man who built this door.
"Please come in quickly"
He looked at me with a sharp eye and said in a tight tone.
... I can't help it. You didn't say anything in that heat, did you? Besides, my head is really spinning dull due to lack of sugar right now. That's why it takes time to understand your language. I stepped into the harsh air whining such a complaint in my heart.
"Oh?"
I got a lot of surprise voices.
There were dozens of people in the room who had never seen them before. Master Duke is staring at me in the back. It's kind of fresh to be stared at by Master Duke. I don't see any kings and fathers.
Are you saying this strange gathering was held arbitrarily, Master Duke?... you mean the king agreed to Master Duke's decision?
"I haven't decided who you are yet."
"Huh?"
I want your opinion.
"What about these people?
"The townspeople."
"I know them...... is it?
"No."
"You've often brought the townspeople to the castle."
You offended my words, Master Duke wrinkled between his eyebrows.
"What do you mean?
"You don't understand, do you? Don't you think they'll steal something or something?
"Shut up. You don't have a prince who doesn't believe in the people. Besides, this castle is heavily guarded."
... I did. Master Duke said he couldn't get out of this castle no matter how hard he tried. It's definitely a castle security thing. It's not easy getting out of here.
"I'm sorry. It was a silence."
"Fair enough. I'm gonna ask you a few questions right now."
Question? Not interrogation?
"I'll get it from them, not from me"
Master Duke said that in a low voice.
Questions from the people in town to me? What the hell are you asking...... I felt my heart beat a little faster. I'm more nervous talking in front of the people of town than talking about something in front of the nobles.
"I get it. I'll be honest with you."
I answered that with a straight look at Master Duke and the people in town.
