"Silvi!"
"Arthur!"
Arthur popped up hiding in the shadows of a private house just saying he couldn't wait. Silvi jumped in that chest without hesitation. The feeling of Arthur accepting me made me feel like the tension I didn't know would break.
"Are you all right! Silvi."
"Yeah... I'm fine. We're still negotiating, but maybe if it feels like that, it'll work."
Everyone on the spot looked horrible at Silvi's words.
Arthur gently strokes Silvi's back.
"Right. Well done, Sylvie. I'd like to talk to you, but let's just get back to the castle. It's too insecure here. Everybody, get out."
"But, Your Highness. I found out that Gemini lives in that house..."
It was one of the knights that came with Arthur as an escort. Several people nod as they agree with him. But Arthur rejected their opinion.
"No."
"But!
"You can think about it if you mean you can be captured for sure, but if you have any element of anxiety, at least not now. What Silvi has negotiated for me because of this will be wasted, and Claude will be killed. I want to avoid that. Or can you say you can definitely capture Gemini?
"It's..."
I guess I just couldn't say yes. The knights cloud their replies. "That's what I mean," Arthur looked bitter.
"Gemini's strengths are way off. If you're going, you should be more fully armed, turn down the exit route, and set up an operation with your mind in mind. Speaking of which, we also need to work with another department. You know that, don't you?
"... Yes"
"Now, think about what you should give top priority. We're leaving."
No one defied Arthur's orders this time. I looked at Gemini's house with all due respect, but I had no choice but to forgive myself, and everyone came back to the castle with me.
"I'll think about Gemini after this one. Don't take unsolicited action. He is not an enemy by himself. We all need to work together."
That's what Arthur said when he broke up and was stabbing everyone with a nail. The knights nodded and returned to their places of residence.
"Silvi, you must be tired. You really did a great job today."
It is not Silvi's room, but is passed into Arthur's room and seated on the couch. Silvi immediately explained to Arthur his interaction with Gemini.
Arthur listened, nodding one at a time, but frowned around that Gemini's favorite child,
"The woman I like for Gemini. Isn't Silvi the person you think he is?
"Ever since I asked, I've been thinking about it, unfortunately. Hi, I'm like a friend from before, but I, Gemini and I didn't even grasp his friendship because it was just basic to meet and talk on the road in the first place."
I also thought that I would have kept more AC if this were the case, but I denied that it wasn't soon enough. If you knew the assassin, there's still no way you can get along after you know him (after you get your memory back).
"Right."
Did Arthur think something similar, he didn't ask Silvi any more, and the tired two slept well in Arthur's bedroom that day.
◇ ◇ ◇
Gemini's reply came far earlier than expected and what an afternoon it was the next.
Gemini, who appeared directly in Claude's room, not Silvi, said to surprise Claude that he had asked him to give him what he promised because he had given up on the assassination.
Of course, Claude, who immediately guessed what the 'Promised Thing' was, contacted the Mansion and handed it over to him. Gemini said, "It's nice to see you again" with his face.
"Suddenly, Gemini showed up and stunned..."
Claude, who came to report, was still wearing a bandage but had a relief look on his face.
I guess I'm glad I'm off target for the assassination. Silvi was also horrified.
Claude turns to Silvi, who was listening to the report with Arthur.
"... Lord Silvia. Thanks to you, I seem to have picked up my life. Don't worry about the danger, thank you for hitting the negotiations. If there's anything I can do, say it."
"Thank you. That's enough for you to say."
Claude had completely changed that attitude, as he had apologized to Silvi last time. On that look, I don't see anything to mock Sylvie. Silvi was more than happy about it.
With Gemini giving up the assassination, Claude returned to the mansion. I came to the castle for nothing, and there's nothing like wandering Silvi.
Silvi was sincerely enjoying the peace she had finally visited, but soon another storm arrived.
I heard about Gemini, it's Ease.
When Ease came to Arthur's office, he told him and called Silvi.
"What, Arthur... ah"
"Yahoo. Silvi."
Hearing that Arthur was calling, Sylvie, who came to the office, looked at Ease waving at herself and accidentally stared at Arthur with a sinister face.
"I'm sorry, Sylvie. I couldn't refuse when they told me to call you."
seeps through his whole body the attitude that he is unwilling, Arthur says. Ease looks like a lot of fun on the contrary.
"Huh. I can't believe you knew the location of Gemini's house. Then I wish you'd told me a little earlier."
"There's no way I can talk to you in a situation where your subordinate life is being targeted. At dawn when it was all over, I was going to tell you. Mostly, where did you learn that from?"
"You have trouble hiding information, don't you? So I'm just trying to collect it myself. You know, I knew Gemini's house, and she's your fiancée, right? She's also the informant I used to say. I'd love to talk to you in person."
……
How do I reply? When he looked at Arthur for help, he shook his head to the side.
I guess that means don't talk weird. Sylvie nods with the meaning that she understands. said Ease as he watched it pointed his lips.
"Oh no. I don't like hiding things."
"Which Mouth Says It"
"Me? When did I tell you I was hiding something?"
Ease, who somehow sat on the couch with our face, was very prestigious, even though he said that he should be the head of Uroboros, the office of Prince Wang. As he was admiring that attitude, he told Ease with a face like Arthur chewed up the bitter bug.
"I rarely talk about important information and only grab what I want to know. That's who you are."
"Oh? I'm so flattered."
When Silvi thought Arthur was definitely not complimenting him, Ease turned his attention to Silvi.
His eyes looked like snakes, and he was frightened.
"Hey, you, Gemini's friend, what is it? Anything new on Gemini? I really want to kill Gemini with this hand."
"... and I don't know. Nothing more than what I told Arthur. It's true that he was my friend, but he barely told me about himself..."
I answered carefully.
I'm not throwing up. I thought even if I vomited, this opponent would find out soon enough.
(Information on Ease! Wasn't there something? Wow! I really don't remember anything.
If I had any information about him, I might have used it to have a conversation. But I couldn't remember anything from Silvi, who was skipping his route unread.
No, before I remember it in the first place, I don't know the story itself.
(Ugh...... scary)
I'm laughing, but those golden eyes aren't laughing. I don't even remember what kind of person he was, so I really don't know what pisses him off or what would please me if I did the opposite.
"Ease, don't scare Sylvie. If you're going to imitate something strange, Sylvie will send you back to your room and I'll break my contract with you, too."
"Oh? What I have is a contract with the state? You're not the only one who can decide, are you?
"Negotiations with Uroboros are at my disposal. I got a contract."
"Huh?"
Ugh, Ease's eyes narrow. Arthur took that eye completely motionless.
The two hung out for a while, and eventually the winner was decided.
Out of sight, it was Ease who stood up.
"Okay. Sylvie, for now, it's just a little. I won't do it. But it's hard to hide information."
"I said it earlier. I'm not hiding this one."
"Information is speed, even if it's not meant to be. You know what? There's no Jemi-2 in that place anymore, is there? It's obvious, right? They know where we are in the country. Everyone has decided to move."
"What?
"Oh, you didn't know that."
"Naturally."
Arthur seemed really sorry that he could identify his whereabouts because of it.
"... I was going to get on board soon with all my faces"
"Normally, you don't wait that long. That's why I'm here to complain. The information is slow. You told me after you moved in beautifully, it wouldn't do you any good."
"Do you know where Gemini went?
"You don't get it. As much as I want you to know. Hey, Sylvie, you, you know what?
Silvi, suddenly told the story, shook her head to the side in a panic.
"And I don't know. It's true."
"Ease, Sylvie is not lying. By and large, Silvi has been in the castle since the day we went to negotiate. You can't possibly tell."
"I know....... Ha. Oh, yeah, this."
"Hmm?"
Yes, and Arthur gets something from Ease. It looked like Silvi, like a notebook.
"What's this?
"What you were asking me to do. My client, you wanted to know, didn't you?
"You get it!
"Unfortunately. At least there's no one here."
"... yeah, right"
To Arthur, who spoke openly disappointing, Ease let him flaunt his shoulders.
"You don't have a choice. Even we don't know the handwriting of every human being in the country. You know, last time and this time, I wrote about a left-handed person."
"Left-handed?"
"Yeah. It's not uncommon for a left-handed person. I'm also left-handed. Yeah, I know you do, but of course I'm not the killer or anything like that."
To Ease's light mouth, Arthur nodded heavily.
"I know. If you were the killer, you wouldn't have bothered to send me a suspicious letter about Gemini."
"That sort of thing"
"... without knowing who the Lord is"
I was just disappointed to expect the investigation to progress. Arthur's attitude was like that.
"At least you're not my associate."
To the added words, Arthur also said with a sinister face.
"If you're going to say that, neither am I. Neither did we."
"So what else does that mean? See, you've narrowed it down a lot."
"Can you tell me this has been narrowed down..."
I was Arthur looking fed up, but you know I won't get an answer for thinking about it. I meditated my eyes only for a moment to change my mind.
Ease stands up watching it.
"This is all I have to do, so I'm going home. I didn't get an answer, but I did, so now give me the Gemini info."
"I know."
"Next time, if you don't come by soon - hey, as a breach of contract, I'm going to get your precious knight. Sure, Diedrich, was it? He's in pretty good shape, isn't he? I always thought I liked it. I'd love to hear it."
Not only Arthur, but even Silvi, was jealous of Ease, who uttered an outrageous thing.
