"Why didn't you hit him!
"Grr!"
After hearing about the blackmail from Mr. Riselle, I stopped being patient and stepped on the floor once, and I wound up with the Duke's foot standing next to me.
Hearing your husband's sad voice, the anger that was during the eruption instantly chills.
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
With that said, the Duke arms up and eats his teeth off. He seemed desperate to endure pain in exaggeration in front of him with his surrounding gaze.
It conveys my brother's idea of what he's doing in this air.
Not on purpose. But I couldn't help but be angry.
I'm hungry for Mr. Riselle, who was conveniently used by the enemy. Most importantly, I'm belly hungry for a man who treats Serenia as a convenient blackmail material, a dream-eater companion.
I saw the scene where Serenia was actually killed.
I can't believe her death was brought only to such —— selfish planning, to show off to failure.
"It would be too unscrupulous a demand to beat him up, even though he was taking hostages and being blackmailed"
My brother says the best things.
I know that. But that's not what I'm trying to say.
If you like Serenia, she didn't try to do anything back, she's blaming Ms. Risel for her lack of will.
"... Mr. Risel. Have you seen the angriest man since?"
"No. I met the man face-- or I saw him in person dream-eating, except for Ines Caron, only then. All subsequent instructions were sent by letter."
Instructions, that would mean instructions to kill me. The duke reacts tingly, wrinkling between his brows.
Mr. Risel looked straight at me like he had decided to, although he had kept his gaze down all along. Then he placed his hand on his chest and slowly lowered his head.
"Really, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I give in to the assassins to take your innocent life..."
"Before you apologize to me, there will be many more to apologize for!
I'm frustrated by the pitiful apology, and those words speak.
...... hmm? After all, should I be the first to be told I'm sorry? I've been killed many times by this man I can think of.
No, doesn't that theory work any better than you can't talk about the loop?
Mr. Risel almost betrayed the Duke, his own teacher, and even Serenia. What's really bad is the guy who's been threatening me, and Mr. Riselle's not the victim again.
If he was prepared to do otherwise, there would never have been such an assassination attempt.
"As I said before, this would not have happened if Mr. Riselle hadn't bothered with one of us. Right, Duke?
"Oh, you're right"
Make the expression rude and the Duke agrees.
"I can't wait to see you like Serenia enough to sacrifice everything, pretend you gave up without even telling me what you thought was wrong with you. But in the end, I couldn't give up, and I found out what I would have been if I hadn't, so I became the wingman to be used by my enemies. Right, Duke?
"Ah...... oh. Yeah, right."
The Duke nodded, but it was a slightly poorly toothed reply.
"If it bothered you enough, you should have told Serenia that you liked it properly! If that didn't work, Mr. Riselle could have given up and never been pinned down on the enemy. Conversely, if the confession had gone well, Mr. Risel would have been able to protect her about Serenia with dignity, not caring about her eyes.
... that is. In this case, Mr. Riselle's twist is bad, which has stuck his favor in a weird direction! Right, Duke?
……
Finally, the Duke stopped saying anything. He has a bitter look on his face for some reason.
Are you shocked by the look of your pitiful best friend?
"That topic is going to be discussed later by us alone. What's going on with the missing servants and their whereabouts? They're most likely assassins."
When my brother asked, Deacon Farrow also tried to change the air and hitched a ride to it.
"The servants who disappeared are being searched by the leadership. … but so far we have not been able to discover one"
"Other neighboring territories have been asked to cooperate. I don't think it's an easy situation to get away with."
To see the reaction of the Duke and Deacon, no aromatic results seemed to have been obtained.
This would be the main cause of Operation Cage Castle, which I imposed. The assassins were in complete freedom from the time of the cage until morning arrived.
The assassins probably dazzled their whereabouts by perceiving that their plans had been exposed.
Nobody says so, but I wonder if this is... my fault.
"Son-in-law. Is the personnel organisation finished? There's still a chance there's an assassin inside the castle."
"The sorting of the trustworthy is definitely over. However, there are still a large number of people who are understaffed and have no judgment--"
"I mean, you can't say it's perfectly safe in this castle yet."
My brother scratches his head and says something a little thorny.
The Duke had a difficult face and responded to it.
"... maybe this is what dream-eaters are after. Maybe we're going to disappear completely while we're being manipulated by enemies who don't know if we exist."
"Or maybe it's just a way for the rest of the assassins to scratch their sleeping necks in this alarmed gap."
"Brother, what happened earlier?"
I speak with a little blame for many of the remarks that don't seem to be made, but my brother doesn't stop talking just by shaking his head.
"Anyway, to not grab the tail of a dream-eater and a do-over doesn't mean you can't even get to who that mastermind is. Are you still poor?"
"As for the mastermind, I have some eye-catching. Someone who wants to stop the Knights of the Master from taking office and run a crack in my relationship with the Master --- If all the stories about the man who has been in contact with Riselle are true, it was the officials of the upper Knights who actually gave instructions for the assassination, probably involved in the incident eight years ago"
Gradually, the scale of the story grows.
Am I being targeted for my life by the great people who should not have even been involved?
... I didn't want to kill me, I just wanted the fact that Mr. Risel killed me.
"Simply, there must have been other hands, if only to discourage the Knights of the Master from taking office. But trying to get rid of my influence and keep my teacher away altogether... It is believed that the hand of the master has bitten the thoughts of someone who feared that the incident eight years ago would come to light. In addition, it is also likely that he is a Queen's nobleman who is cordial with the Queen. It's just speculation."
"Speculation cannot ensure safety. It's a tough story, but there's a chance that everything will be nasty while the assassin and the mastermind are still running away."
"... I know, brother-in-law. But Katrea has captured us, and we have an assassin. If he cracks his mouth, he might be able to grab a dream eater's foothold. Anyway, now we're rushing the interrogation of the captured assassins and the search for the disappeared servants. Until we make progress, please wait."
"So, the assassin gave you any information?"
"... no. But out of the possessions he was carrying, the same dagger that Risel was given from a dream eater. That makes him immobile proof that he's an assassin. We're currently investigating where the dagger came from."
Did Ines even have a dagger? It's called a planting boot, and it's something that a lot of noisy people were nearby. It's good to be able to defeat you in a pre-emptive attack.
But something didn't change dramatically because I could clearly let the surrounding public know that she was an assassin.
... Something seemed more serious than I had thought.
Because of this, I didn't know I could get out of the slaughtered loop, but now I'm going to hit it with a little tricky conspiracy.
I got a future where no one gets hurt and a handsome husband, and now I can't enjoy a nice honeymoon.
"That's right! Why don't you say, 'I'm sorry, it was a misidentification arrest,' and let Ines go. That way, I might try to return to Ajito, where my people lurk. If you sneak up on that, you might be able to get a grip on the dreameaters!
……
The name came down, so I just tried to say it, and for some reason the indoor was filled with silence.
Is that it?
"Do you think the assassin is an ant or something? You're making too much of a fool of yourself."
My brother says it looks like a pain in the ass.
"Ants? What do you mean?
As I leaned my neck, my brother stared at me like he had been stunned for a while and then sighed at this sight.
"... no, it's nothing"
"What is it, it feels bad. Tell me what's right."
"On my brother-in-law, I guess you wanted to say something about ants-nesting. Easily freeing the assassin in this situation will surely not alert him to return to his nest with instinct like an ant..."
"Wait, my son-in-law. Don't explain it to me. It's gonna prove this guy's an ant."
I feel a lot of rude conversation going on overhead. What is an anthill?
I thought it was a great operation to be able to crack down on the status quo, but the mood for rejection is flowing. Then the next time I opened my mouth to propose an operation that turned Inez into a monster, my brother grabbed me with his head around.
"In the meantime, I grasped the circumstances and the current situation. It's time for us to disperse."
"Oh, hey, brother"
"Okay. But she still has something to check on. I want you to wait in your room because I'll have the interviewer turn to your room later."
Not even trying to pull it off, the Duke nods. And then he dropped me off with a spicy look on my face.
"I'm sorry I got involved, Cattleya"
◇
Return to your room with your brother grabbing your head.
I tried to shake my head several times trying to escape, but my brother's big palm never left.
"Brother! I, I haven't spoken enough yet!
"I'm just your brother, I'm just an outsider here. And you're the newcomer who just got married here. If we go out there, it's just gonna get in the way."
"But"
"I can assure you, there's nothing you can do to someone who advocates Operation Ant Chi on that spot."
Ugh, what is it, Ant? Fight the war. I don't think it's that bad of an operation.
Whatever it is, I can't stand still until the case is solved by pulling it into the room like this.
I could get out of the loop, but the identity of the mastermind is unclear, and the threat of assassination is still unwiped.
"I won't disturb you, and I'm in the corner of everything... should I stay in that room because of my mascot..."
……
I can look at you like you see something incredible.
I know. What I just said was tough with me.
He didn't have the strength to dig into the mascots, either, and my remarks were lightly flushed.
"Even if you are miraculously grown up, your son-in-law and deacon will care. I know how you feel, but you have to wait in your room."
"I can't believe I'm not doing anything even though I've become a person here..."
"If there's anything I can do. Tell them everything you know."
……
My brother probably wants to tell me how you knew about the assassin. And what the Duke wants to check with me, because that's probably it.
Even I want to talk. But no matter how I scratch my feet, I can't explain to people how I was able to stop the assassination plot.
My brother finally took my hand off my head when he decided I was silent and unwilling to defy him. And "It's got to be outrageous," he mutters small.
"No. It was a hell of a story for you to marry here."
"... Speaking of which, brother. What was that earlier? My husband has stuck with me for a long time."
"Huh? That would be no choice. I'll have to ask you more about my situation than my father is here. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to stick my neck in such a mess."
"Mm."
I came here and got a thoughtfully brother's answer.
I can't complain any more when they say that.
"If I heard about your attempted assassination, my father would fly in, too. Then you might not be able to pull it off here. You should listen to what you can ask and tell them everything you have."
"What does that mean?"
……
My brother does not answer.
Feeling refreshed, I can be pushed into my room again.
In the end, something didn't progress. Instead, he was told a rather angry story and all he had to do was accumulate extra anger.
There's no way I can keep doing this, waiting for a day when I'll be safe to make an adult out of it.
