This is after Lecter, Anis and Father Austin left the castle on the border for King's Landing.

"Hey you! What is this!?"

It was Princess Crowe, his beloved wife and headache, who jumped into Deputy General Juvance's office.

"Ah... it's been a long time. Nice to meet you."

The deputy general who saw him looked back at his wife calmly as if he had anticipated it.

Thought it was slower than I thought.

However, contrary to the calm lieutenant general, Princess Crowell was excited.

"Hey! This! What the hell! It's just a typo!?But I don't think the newspapers mistake the name of the precious Virgin.Or is this some sort of conspiracy of Lek's too!? "

It is a newspaper published in King's Landing a little while ago that is shaking Bashabasa.

There's a big one on one side.

"A new Virgin, Liana, is born!"

It said.

It was a while ago that Lecter and Anis went to King's Landing for the Virgin's Appointment Ceremony.

As requested by the royal palace, the "appointment ceremony of the Virgin" should have been set up to certify the anise as a Virgin.And yet, why is the Virgin "Liana" born?

"... it looks like Lek went around the back this time.That was a while ago, but didn't you know? "

"Of course I didn't know!Didn't I say... oh, did I just go abroad to play...? "

I noticed the Lieutenant General Jito's eyes and tried to mouth it a little bit.That's why it wasn't Princess Crowe who shut up.

The deputy general said before she opened her mouth again.

"I didn't hear you.As usual, but then I can understand what you didn't know until recently.I actually thought it would be a little faster to get here, but if that's the case, I'm convinced. "

The deputy general nodded quietly.

"Oh... no, I mean, I don't come to newspapers in this country until abroad... but on my return, I don't know anything about this at all.I mean, "The Virgin" is Anis, right?There's no way that Lek could have been wrong. "

Princess Crowell was suddenly twisting her neck as she shook the newspaper in her hand.

"I suppose so.Apparently something happened in King's Landing.Have you read more recent newspapers?It's even more radical, isn't it?Normally you'd be happy to gossip, but this time it's Lek's scandal, so I wouldn't recommend reading it when you're so excited. "

"I'm sorry! I've already read it!What is it? That fake article!That Lek... just in case!You were so deluded by Anis. "

"Well, it's often the case that the truth is different from what is visible. So it seems that Lek has a favor to ask of you.You're going to be busy. I'll talk to you, but don't forget to ask Garwin for more instructions later. "

"Garwin...? That Tamer? Is he still here?"

Princess Crowell snapped her eyebrows.

Is that key member of Lek's intelligence still here?Didn't you follow me to King's Landing?

That's what I thought.

But the vice general answered calmly.

"Well, almost all of his main men are still here.After all, the King's Capital is under the de facto control of the Queen, so he probably doesn't want his weapon in the Queen's sight. And I'm sure this is the situation. All of Rek's weapons now in King's Landing were taken.Looks like Lolo the Beast is sealed.I guess that's why he was right.Of course you can help such a pathetic man. "

The deputy general stared at the face of his wife, who was bracing herself with a face she didn't like.

"Well, obviously. You can't forgive us for bullying our hateful and cute Lek.Really, the queen did what she wanted!If you want her to say good-bye, I'll do anything now. "

Hmm, it was Princess Crowell who answered roughly with a snort.Apparently, there may be other reasons besides this.

"That's who you are. There's just something you can do to be royal."

"Well, of course I'll take care of it. So, Anis is safe with the queen, right?This newspaper doesn't even have an A for Anis.It's as if there was no such person from the beginning.I don't suppose you're actually not in the world anymore? "

Princess Crowell said as she waved the newspaper in her hand.The newspapers, which have been shaken many times, are getting better and better, and it's about time they started to look like rags.

"There's no way that Lek would let that happen.According to his report, he entered the "House of the Daughters of God" monastery.If you get in there, your life will be safe for now. "

"Excuse me!?... so that means that the queen also admitted Anis's" healing "... but then there was someone who was capable of surpassing Anis?But I can't believe Lek didn't know that. "

Princess Crowell murmured as she stared at the very beautiful illustration of the newspaper in her hand, which depicted the "Virgin Liana".The illustrative "Virgin" had a merciful expression on her beautiful blonde, edged white face.Are those eyes blue or grey?Anyway, not black, pale eyes.

This Virgin doesn't resemble Anis, and if she thinks so, Princess Crowell feels remorse somehow.

"Anyway, we're all safe for now.But this time, it looks like Lek is in a lot of trouble.We are secretly being asked to cooperate.Of course, I'm going to do everything I can to help. "

"... isn't that a rebellion against the Queen?Are you okay with that? "

"Of course, isn't it Lek we trust?I am. Otherwise, I can't save my life.Or aren't you? "

The deputy general looked at his wife and said impatiently.I know the answer. With that face.

"Well, of course you are! Both Lecter and Anis are cute kids to me!I'll do anything for them.Yeah, anything! "

Princess Crowell also replied with a hard black smile that was not worthy of her noble birth and upbringing.

The vice general nodded with satisfaction.

"That's who you are. Then I want you to ask me.There are only a few things the royal lord can do.First of all, as soon as I can, I want this record in the Royal Palace's classified records. "

From that day on, the deputy general and his wife became very friendly in his office every day, spending a long time alone.

Once in a while Princess Crowell leaves the castle in haste, she returns to the lieutenant general.

The servants rumored that they had finally decided to move the base of life here after only finishing the imperative business in King's Landing.

Finally, Princess Crowell stopped abandoning the Vice General and decided to spend some time with the couple.

In this frontier castle, where a young husband and wife, the Lectors, had disappeared and a little lonely air was flowing, they decided to keep an eye on the newly emerging mature couple with a smile on their face.

"I shouldn't have threatened you a little.I know the weakness of the house, so of course don't tell anyone - "

"That's you. So you want me to put it in the palace vault?In the treasure over there... "

"If both of Lek's shadows are here, lend me one..."

"But don't let the dead out. Completely natural..."

"That's a real misconception."

"King and royal..."

"Of course..."

I'll do it for you.

Ufufufufu...

At that time, they had the same expression and breathing was perfect, and they looked very good.

A gloomy lunch break.

A seemingly elegant conversation surrounded by hot tea poured into elegant and delicate teaware and delicious colorful confectionery in an elegant garden with flowers blooming in the east is not always peaceful.
