--Arrangements have broken out!?

... why is my brother's name...?

I didn't know how to react to words I never expected.

When I was confused, Richard set me off with a help ship.

"Mr. Nastasia, this is Mr. Alberto!It's Arangia's brother!

I say hello to Nastasia.

"Greetings.My name is Alberto, the wedded son of the Marquis of Luminas. "

"Ah... oniisan... you certainly have a similar face, but someone else."

That's how Nastasia lowered her head.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"No problem."

"... nh, a bastard...?Is that like an arrangement that was inherited...?Arangia is dead, but oniisan has become an illegitimate son...?Hmm? "

Nastasia frowned.

... there's a complicated family situation around here.I don't feel like explaining anything here...

When I kept quiet, Nastasia put her hand on her forehead.

"No way... bad habits.I snooped around.Forget it, Alberto Luminas. "

"Yes"

I nodded. Nastasia turned to Licht.

"So... the Vicomte.Why are you here?

There is something suspicious about the Count, so I would like to investigate.The Count is uncooperative, so I want pressure from Nastasia, the royal family.

I came to ask for it, but Licht returned another word.

"I heard that Nastasia is not feeling well, so I sneaked up to see her."

... it appears that Richter has changed his policy.You thought it would be bad to get Nastasia into trouble.

I don't think it makes any sense to be here.

It seems to be a good Licht decision.

Thank you for your concern, Vicomte.

Nastasia giggles.After that, uhh! and pressed his head with a sharp voice.

"Master Nastasia!

Rio approached in a hurry.Nastasia quickly waved her hand.

"... it's okay. I'm just a little tired...."

That's why the meeting with Nastasia is over.

It's already night. It's too dark to fly back to the Count's castle.We decided to let ourselves stay in an empty room and return to the castle the next morning.

We come to the top of the tower where the morning sun shines.Return with the magic arrow in the same way you did when you arrived.

Richard shouted to me as he tried to reach for his right hand.

"Mr. Alberto, do you think it would be futile to ask Nastasia for help?

"... I'm sure you're back in line."

"That's not true!

Licht laughed loudly.

"At least we can pursue what the Count said about Nastasia's absence!

"... that's true."

As many as the Count of Emegis says, "Third Princess?I don't know, I don't know. "

"That lying Count!I'll make you bark!

Licht hits his hips high in the palm of his hand.

"Let's hurry home!Mr. Alberto! "

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Is Nastasia in the tower west of the castle?I'm sure you're right.

The Count of Emegis leaned his neck with an extra smile on his face.

As he came back, Licht ignored the soldiers who were coming to stop him and headed for the Count's office with great momentum.

He went in without knocking and told the Count of Emegis everything about Nastasia.

I thought you might be in a bit of a hurry, but that's what I said back there.

No damage.

Licht was puffing his mouth.But -- oh, my God, get your consciousness back.

"No, no, no! I'm saying it's obvious!You insisted that Nastasia wasn't in the castle until yesterday!?

But the Count is as harmless as ever.

"I told you, is that it?

and parry.

It sounds as if you're making fun of Richard.

"No no no no no no!

Beyond the limits of patience, Licht is bam bam!and slapped the desk violently.

"It's paradoxical!Don't open it again!

"There is no contradiction."

Sarasara says the Count.

"It's the Vicomte. Nastasia is royalty."

"... is that so?

"The royal family is sick, and we can't possibly talk about it."

"Ugh!

"For my part, I needed to take care not to put Nastasia on the table while resting.That's why I told Nastasia you weren't there. "

"Gu, gununununu...!

Richard has no objection.The Count's words were perfectly clear.

The Count stares ironically at such a Licht.

"... that consideration has also been wasted.Some fool interrupted Nastasia's rest.Count, aren't you prepared to be a nobleman?

"Ku, ku, ku, ku, ku, ku..."

Licht stuck in words.

Instead, I'll open my mouth.

"... and how is Nastasia-san?

I'm overworked.

"... I don't think it's just overwork?

Nastasia said.I've been resting a long time.If I worked too hard, I should have recovered.

The Count shook his shoulders.

"Oh my God, I don't trust you.... why don't you ask the doctor you're seeing?

"Doctor?"

"Just in case, I'm keeping it in the next room.Forth, come in!

When the Count called out, two men came in from the next room.

Standing in front was an old man dressed in a brown robe reminiscent of a dead tree.The skin head makes my face fleshy and pale.

Behind him is a mid-thirty magnificent man in glasses walking.

A dead tree-like man, Forth, thanked the Count.

"You wanted to see me, Count?"

"They want to hear more about the Third Princess.Explain it to me from your expert. "

"Okay."

Then Forth spent 30 minutes telling her that "Nastasia is just overwork" with various phrases.

Even if Richard and I threw a question, we would return to the "overworked" point after receiving a few answers.

I felt like I was wandering around the maze of conversations.

"Did you understand?

Forth smiles.

... since neither I nor Licht are experts, it is true that even when we are talking, we lack decisiveness.

After all, we turned back to the room with nothing to gain.

"It was like that."

"Oh my God, Alberto...."

Laura raised her eyebrows when she heard my explanation.But she kept her voice brighter.

"But I think one step is one step!

"... is that so?

"After all, Nastasia has never been here before, but from now on she will be here."Things are changing!I'm sure it'll change a little!

Oh, I see.

Is there such a way of thinking?

I was just a labourer, but Laura's positive words lightened my mind a bit.

I hope so.

"I will!

Smell and Laura responded.

At noon, Richard came to the room and went out for lunch with us.

We were sitting down, and now we were thinking about having a tactical meeting.

"Ah, you know!

I heard a voice of tension.

Turning to him, a familiar man stood.... he was definitely a magnificent man with glasses behind a man named Forth.

He told us this.

"Count Emegis and Forth are lying!I'd like to help the Third Princess!?
