Make sure you get pulled over and head to the third floor of the central building. When I arrived in a room that looked like a destination, I was prompted to go inside.

"Is there a duke here?

"Probably."

I can stare silently at Serenia. Ha ha. The pressure inside is amazing.

I had no choice but to open the door small and peek inside.

A book that lays tightly on one side of the wall pops into my eyes. Inside it was like a studio —— or library. What an exquisite atmosphere there is in the center of the room with an expensive table and a large sofa. In many ways, it's a room that seems to sleep well.

And there was one shadow that stood with the book in one hand and also against the wall.

"... ah"

……

The shadows are just eye-catching.

Like Serenia, she had silver hair —— His Excellency the Duke of Crusade Vlage.

In front of the first suspect, I solidify. I can't believe you're really here.

Similarly, the Duke seemed stiff when he suddenly looked at me with only a peek in his face.

"... how did you get here"

"I showed you."

Serenia says, step into the library.

Seeing his sister, the Duke frowned between his brows.

"It's you. How did you know I was here? Did you ask Riselle?

"No, it's just that your brother's always here when he's depressed and when he's messing with you."

……

The Duke shuts up. Is it a little damaged by the relentless Serenia's words? That feels good.

"Isn't that a lot? Why are you letting your sister-in-law go and selling oil here?"

"I don't care, that's not true"

"That's how I try to make fun of you again!

Serenia caught Sapphire Blue's eyes crisp and put her hands on her hips.

"My sister-in-law first came to this hall today. Leaving his wife alone who has been married to one in an unfamiliar place,“ I don't care "? Since when did your brother become such a thinner!

I was secretly working out an escape plan. As for myself, it was a sheltered way to narrow my shoulders a little, so I shut up and watch what happened.

The Duke doesn't particularly go upside down and ramble, but he looks quietly at Serenia and immediately drops his gaze on the book again. And I just whined small "I see what you're trying to say".

Serenia and I stared at the Duke for a while, but at the end I sighed deeply.

"Fair enough. It will disturb you, and I will disperse you. You two should discuss this thoroughly. —— Then I beg your pardon, sister-in-law. I'll talk to you later."

"Huh? Huh?

Serenia waves flirtatiously and leaves the library room. The interior quieted down as soon as possible.

The Duke who pushes silence and me out of time.

What an awkward air. They left me completely behind.

Don't tell me what to discuss in this state.

... but.

Is it necessary to ascertain to some extent the suspicion of the Duke before leaving the castle?

This place allows you to escape right after the Duke hits you, and there shouldn't be much danger. Now's your chance if you want to rock. We need to keep the information gathered while we can in order to uncover the truth later.

I never wanted to, I tried to cut it out of this one.

"Duke of Vlage, what did you seem to be doing here? Weren't you waiting for me in the master bedroom?

"It's none of your business."

It would have something to do with it!

Driven by the urge to yell at the duke who looks grumpy, but stands still.

I'm an adult. And she's my sister-in-law. This level of disturbance should not be the same.

I don't want to yell at it and let the servants understand where I am.

"For once, I was planning to interrupt the Duke of Vlage's bedroom tonight. If you're not in your room, please don't come, I just wanted you to say something."

"I just stopped going to my room because I didn't feel like it today. You should rest in your own room."

"Hmm? Then the Duke of Vlage hasn't been to the master bedroom once today?

"... but"

When that happens, the fundamental reasoning breaks down.

I thought the Duke was the killer. 'Cause I got stabbed in this guy's bedroom.

But I haven't been to the bedroom, so... what the hell? You can't kill this man about me.

It's possible that you're lying, but that's subtle, too. If I'm willing to kill you, you can come and kill me here. Even if it's not here, "Let's go to the bedroom together," some hands take me to the master bedroom and kill me crisply inside.

I understand that you've been killed and that the killer has a clear intent to kill me. So I don't think the Duke's reaction in front of me right now —— is consistent with the statue of the killer who's been killing me.

Somehow, I have a strong sense of rejection. This way, I can't feel the willingness to come and kill you.

I'm a little scared, but do you want to explore it further?

"I'll ask you straight in. Duke of Vlage, aren't you thinking of killing me?

"... what?

The Duke's beautiful eyes dot. He seemed seriously surprised.

"What are you talking about?"

"Answer me properly"

"... there will be no reason for me to kill you"

"Really? At least you don't think well of me."

……

I told him not to.

The Duke says after a little silence.

"... why do you think so"

"You're clearly avoiding me, aren't you? I ignore you when you talk to me, and I don't see you. I can't even tell you I'm not in the mood tonight."

Now my head is not so much a flower garden that I can think of "I, I'm loved ♡".

You don't have to hate me. But I also wanted to know what this guy meant in order to find out who did it.

"You don't seem to like me. I feel much more hostile from earlier."

"It's --"

Another unclear response. Besides, I'm angry.

Get cold on top of being ridiculed. Besides, the prime suspect in my murder. That would be something that would also spur hostility.

You're doing something you don't like from yourself. "You hate me, don't you?" I just think they're already selling fights.

It's good to have a proper conversation with Serenia before I meet this guy. Serenia's sophisticated lady Aura put it on me, and now I can keep it in my stomach even if it's somewhat muggy.

In the first place, I don't think I'm going to talk to this guy.

The goal now is to survive. I could hear what the Duke wanted to hear, and I'm no longer available for this place. Avoid danger!

"Well, that means we don't like each other. It's too late today, so sweet for your words, I'll sleep in my room."

……

The Duke does not answer. Are you ignoring me? Enough, though.

Don't turn your back on the Duke - move toward the door. And then I tried to leave the library, and at the end of the day, I decided to ask him to try it.

"Excuse me. Which will be the stables location?
