Kanna no Kanna

This is an act that happened elsewhere while Kanna was released by an acquainted Imperial Knight.

He said, "Why can't you allow me to meet you?" "I've been saying many times, but please understand. That man is involved not only in attempted abductions but also in other major crimes. I can't afford to see you so easily. "" If you're going to hurt me, you've had the chance to get on this journey anyway. Regarding this case, if he had any malice, he would not take him back to the Wazawaza inn, but if he forcibly abducted me, he would not be caught by you. Daughter "I'm sorry. I have to assume that it's just an emergency. I can't make it easy for you, Falmarias Albenaa."

After Kanna was taken to a group of Imperial soldiers, Falmarias-Fima and his party had to withdraw from the accommodation that day and transfer themselves to guest rooms in the Imperial Palace. In the form, it was said that there was a problem in keeping the kidnapped, but unsuccessfully-accomplished, Fima in a high-end, safe neighborhood.

Inside the Imperial Palace, there are guest rooms where the Emperor's family lives, as well as the guest house where Fima is sleeping, as well as the servants working for the Imperial Palace and the Knights Tunnel to guard and protect them.

The soldiers who took Kanna were also members of the Knights, which had a camp in the Imperial Palace. Named Steel Dragon Knights. Their main task is to protect state dignitaries and their equivalent.

--- By the way, just because you are in the Imperial Palace does not mean that you have a direct connection to your specific Knighthood. Regulus leads the Knights of the Phantom Dragon, which has a tunnel outside the Imperial Palace, but is one of the most powerful and powerful in the military.

Many times, Fima complained of Canna's innocence. Of course, at the beginning of his departure, he spoke impulse words from confusion, but after a day, he could regain his usual calm thoughts and give logical testimony to the commander of the Steel Knights, Deputy Vice President. I had filed a complaint with the leader.

However, no matter how many words you repeat, the discussion will end without any fragile results. After determining that nothing more could be said, Fima left the commander's office of the Steel Dragon Knights.

“……… was n’t it?”

Rand, who was listening to the conversation beside the Fima, said in a firm voice.

"While being a state guest, Shosho is the word of a little girl who has no real power. I don't think it's going to be so easy."

While opening his mouth calmly on the surface, the facial expression of Fima was fraught with irritation. He did not release Kanna or even give him permission to visit. You can spend some time inside the Imperial Palace, but you are almost under house arrest with your guards. I am worried about not knowing the current situation of Kanna at all.

There are too many unnatural points about this one.

First of all, it is not the first time that Fima went to town alone on the day she reunited with Kanna. Until then, he had escaped the escorts' eyes twice and went on a walk around the city alone. However, none of them turned into a situation where key guards such as the Knights of the Steel Dragon traveled on business.

In addition, the Knights of the Dragon had begun action much earlier than the lands had requested rescue. When the knight's group suddenly arrived while searching for Fima with a sigh, "The young lady is also a troubled person," even the lands could not hide their surprise.

"In the first place, it's obviously crazy to treat stately noble daughters of the Countess as state guest treatment."

The Countess of Arnabes is a venerable master who has existed since the early days of Urfilia. Although the territory is not particularly large, successive counts have a strong interest in learning and have developed into one of the country's leading academic cities. The current Countess, who is also a lord, has been appointed as one of the school's principals at one of the magic schools, and Fima had a past graduation there.

However, as Fima said, the Alnabeths do not have such a large power over the country's internal affairs, although it is well known. He was the lord of the land that produced excellent human resources, and his personal connections would not be underestimated, but his power to exercise directly was not so great.

`` I don't know why a weirdo daughter who is a royal family who has a great territory or a bureaucrat who is heavily involved in state affairs, who is withdrawing in the countryside and devoting most of his life to searching for knowledge, is welcomed as a state guest. '' “……… I do n’t want to say that much.” “This is a praise for him.”

For some, this sounded derogatory, but Fima's tone was strong, close to respect.

"I'm off the line. The problem is, why am I being invited by a state guest this time?" "... Is it rather fortunate that I was able to spend the past month freely? You might think, "I don't know what it is."

Rima's words were truncated, and Fima snapped his finger. A secretly constructed magic ceremony was activated, and the air surrounding her and the land was brought under the control of Fima. A technique called "Silent Field", which has the effect of blocking the sound leaking from inside the wind barrier to the outside.

"…………Lady?"

Rand was convinced a little, but Rand soon swallowed the thoughts of Fima. From here on, when others ask you, it's a bad story.

Fima puts his hand on his chin and lets him think.

"If we were going to welcome you as a state guest, why didn't you do that from the beginning? We arrived a month ago, which should have already reached the Imperial Palace's internal affairs."

No matter what the status or reason, nobles should report their reports to the national government when they enter the capital of another country. When the Fimas also arrived at Draknir on a magic train, they performed procedures at the station. The immediate accommodations are also submitted.

"No matter how slow the transmission speed was, it would be ok for us to do something in a week, but after a month or more without any sound "Is this just the result of negligence in my work?" "......... It's quite slow to accept me as a state guest," "I think like this. He wasn't worthy of a state guest, at least on paper I was just the daughter of an Earl with territorial territory. " Is that what you mean by being thrown away on top of that? Then ...

Rand left a breath.

"... Some days before the Knights of the Dragon Ryu went to search for Fima, there was some kind of leverage." "I think, though, It doesn't go beyond my imagination. ''

Fima was humble, but thought that within herself it was not so far off.

But then that raises new questions,

Who is the person who has been leveraged by the internal affairs of the country so that Fima will be treated as a state guest? And why did that person leave the Fima for more than a month? And above all, in some cases the Steel Knights were dispatched as if they had watched the Fima get involved every time.

Awkward (I can't explain it with my mouth, but it feels like something)

Planner There is no doubt that there is some kind of thought, but for that, the way things go is a lot. The proof is that if you think for a moment, the unnatural point like the one just mentioned will be highlighted. As a result, strong vigilance was born within the Fima. This should not be a good thing for you.

Thinking so far, Fima dared to stop thinking. Now that there is little information, if you make bad guesses, you risk being trapped in the wrong prejudice and mistaking important situations.

"The lady has arrived in the room."

He raised his head, which was told by Rand, and was arriving in front of his guest room.

"I have to think a lot, but the immediate problem is to prove Kanna's innocence and get to release."

When Rand opens the guest room door, Fima enters the room, releasing "Silent Field."

Inside the room, the remaining escort, Agat, was waiting, and as soon as the door was opened, he turned his face.

"Thank you, young lady, Land." "I'm Agat. Where's Kiska?" "She went to her servants to explore."

Despite being restricted in the Imperial Palace, the Fimas were not silent. The guards were gathering as much information as they could, as was the case with Fima's direct inquiry to the Knights of the Steel Dragon. However, Agat, who is not good at belly because of his honest personality, often waits in the room.

"I'm a little tired. Agat, will you brew tea?"

His role is to brew a cup of hard work after each has finished. The guest rooms are equipped with a set of tools for brewing tea, as well as magical tools that generate high heat to boil hot water.

Actually, Agat is the best at brewing tea in the FIMA party.

After a while, a cup of fragrant tea was placed on the table. Fima breathed it out, relieving him of it and the energy that had accumulated inside.

By the time Fima drank the cup of tea, "Kisska returned," Kisska returned to her room.

"That's hard. So, did you get something?" "Especially anything like this ....... but I was able to hear only one interesting story." In the past few days, the Knights have shown a rush of movement: their name is the Phantom Dragon Knight ... " Isn't it one of the most powerful knights inside the Diagar Army? ''

The valor of Ryuken, who rose to A rank at a young age, reached not only Diagar but also other countries. The land is small but surprising.

"Yeah. In the event of an emergency, I was talking about a short-lived shortstop squad, but I couldn't hear any rumor inside the Imperial Palace that they were moving. An outbreak of a goblin that occurred in a mine in a region a few stations away from the mine, but an outbreak occurred ………… ”A higher instance“ I was talking about that too. We're making a large group, and we've heard that not only goblins but also groups and multiple lizardmen have been identified. ''

Kiska nodded at Agat's words and continued on.

"However, the task of this defeat has already been completed, and the post-processing has been left to other knights, and the Knights of the Phantom Dragon have been dismissed." Is another matter. "

Though he thought, he did not come up with a concrete answer.

In the meantime, she couldn't even predict that the leader of the Knights of the Phantom Dragon had a personal connection with Kanna, much less knowing herself.

That fact is a bit further away.
