Legend

Time returns, a little before Vihela and Tiyur break out in front of the gate.

Near the back entrance of the castle was Theorem and his deputy, Ciance, as well as five figures looking to work underneath.

Although he dresses in a discreet manner as to these five, his identity is that of a knight of the Third Prince.

It was only natural to dress as discreet as possible, as the corners Vihella and Tiyur are about to enter the castle in grandeur with a sense of positive motion.

In fact, make it Theorem, make it Ciance, I'm lowering my long sword's sheath on my hips, but I'm not wearing any armor. It's normal clothing.

While Vihela draws the attention of those in the castle, she helps her own master who is being captured.

As a first step, he sneaked into the castle and came to the back entrance, where several of them existed.

"... Dear Theoreme, isn't it too late?

"I'm talking about Cuken, so I hope I haven't stepped on some dodge"

"Sure. Look, remember? When I tried to set up a night raid on the bandits' Ajito..."

"There was. You laughed at that.... He's not bad with his arm, so why is it like that sometimes?"

Teolame, who glanced at his men exchanging words so that they could not be heard around him, did not pay particular attention... No, he grinned with satisfaction.

I can tell you it's reliable because I'm not at all nervous about sneaking into the castle from now on and storming a place where the third prince is under house arrest.

It's not that I'm not at all anxious to sneak into the castle, of course, but I'm sure Ning Ro understands its gravity.

But it still doesn't seem nervous because we still believe in our own boss, Theorem, and above all because we wait to help Merclio, our third prince, who is also our own master.

"... of all my men who were too good for me."

"Is it? I think it's under Master Ning Lo Theorem that we have all these people."

Ciance, who refrained from doing so nearby, tells him so without moving his expression without changing his phase.

To its appearance, Theoreme grins just a small bend on the edge of her lips.

Because the expression barely moved, but I still understood the thoughts that Cyans had about his men in a sense of long-standing dating.

But I guess that wasn't funny to him. Even if the expression is unchanged, somewhere the gaze of a jittery color is directed toward Theorem.

"Something?

No, it's nothing.

Theorem, who told him so, reacts to the signs of Pickle and the other side of the door.

"Well, that's as far as I can take it easy. Looks like he's here."

When that word is uttered from the mouth of Theorem, the conversation ends as if the previous interaction had been an illusion or something, each changing his mind and concentrating his consciousness.

If it is as planned, it should be Cuken's that back door opens to show itself. But it's the upper echelons of this country we're dealing with. I mean, it's not strange that knights and soldiers are waiting for you at the time you open this back door.

Waiting for the door at the back door to open with such thoughts… the door opens with a slight twitch called Gigi, and a moment of tension runs among the Theorems.

"Sorry to keep you waiting...... what's up with that?

Faced out the door was Cuken in a maid.

Though relieved by its appearance, a line of Theorem exhales.

"No, it's nothing. So what's going on in there?

To that word of Theorem, Cuken begins his explanation immediately with his neck tilted.

"Sometimes it's still the final of a fighting tournament, and many of them are out there. I was wondering if the security in the castle itself was much looser than usual. I just have a little problem…"

Teolame feels subtly unpleasant about the state of the sayin 'cuken.

It won't be such a replacement for Theorem, but Ciance, his deputy, opens his mouth.

"Specifically?

"... four knights await near the house arrest of His Highness Merclio. That, too, stands quite an arm. That didn't happen until yesterday..."

"I see. I mean, His Highness Kabazid was reading this behavior and he said he had dealt with it?

"Probably. However, if Master Cyans is right in his mind, he's too halfway through the force. If you really want to stop the recapture of His Royal Highness Merclio, I'm sure we'll have the brains of the children, not just the knights."

"I guess."

In the back of Ciance's brain, who answers so, is a serious, workout loving woman and some childish but only first-class man. Other than that, a few faces pass.

If Kabazid was really going to prevent us from doing what we did, I'm pretty sure we'd keep all those arms in line.

Sure, there are many knights who serve the Bestian Empire, but they're still not enough to manage Theorem or a few opponents like themselves.

It was cyans I thought of that way, but I can accidentally put my hand on my right shoulder.

Turning that way, there was the appearance of Theorem.

"Whatever you think about here now, there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, now it's to help His Highness Merclio. Perhaps it is time for Master Vihella to start moving as a positive move. Move without missing that gap."

"... right. It's the main fall that makes me think too much to move. Shall we go then? Keuken, show me."

Cyans nodding to Theorem and continuing to speak to Cuken.

The voiced person nods at it and invites everyone from the back door into the castle.

At that moment, he exhales a slight relief to Theorem, not just to the knight, in a cool completely different way from the heat he was feeling outside.

Since the outside temperatures are not likely to rise to autumn, it would still be comfortable in the castle to be comfortable with magic items.

Stay put for a few seconds. Take a deep breath as you get used to the air in the castle, and Theorem looks around silently at his men and nods.

The others nod in their gaze, and follow the guidance of Cuken through the castle.

Again, the final of the martial arts tournament, so I guess there aren't many left in the castle. Proceed with little or no encounter with the noblemen.

Occasionally, I felt different from my Cuken colleague and my maid, but when I saw Theorem and Ciance, I decided I was at work, and I just left to gently salute him without speaking up.

Keep going inside the castle...... Eventually I heard something like hustle and noise and started coming.

"Looks like Master Vihella started it."

Everyone nods at the whining Theorem voice.

Just one person, the details of the operation in relation to the infiltration into the castle… Cuken, who was not specifically asked who would do the manoeuvres, opens his eyes when he hears the name Vihera.

"Master Vihella..."

"That's right. We're going a little faster than that. When Lady Vihella starts to storm, she's in a hurry in the castle."

"Okay. I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Keuken nods and takes Theorem and the others along the castle.

After about 5 minutes as it is, I can't even see the maid coming pretty far back in the castle.

"Almost there."

"Oh.... no, I hear it was a little late"

As Theorem nodded at Cuken's words, there he saw two knights walking down the aisle towards themselves.

What you see in that gaze is not the queen in the maid...... but the figure of Theorem behind it.

Eventually when the approaching knight stops walking, he opens his mouth with a nervous, tense face.

"Dear Theorem, what can I do for you here?

"Do you know me? So I was wondering if you could just shut up and let me through?

While returning such words to the knight, he gently signals to his men behind him with his hands turned behind him.

Look at the gap and disable it. The knights nodded at the order...

"I'm sorry, but I have orders from the top not to let Master Theorem through first from here."

"Hmm? Is that... because my lord, His Highness Merclio, is ahead of us?

At the same time that the words are emanated from Theorem's mouth, Theorem's men, who were gazing at the gap, come forward at once.

Knight against it came in to this place behind the castle. I was surprised to find out that the third prince was clearly under house arrest in the room ahead, even though I knew he would have some eye-catching... that became the decisive gap.

Approaching the sides of the two knights at once, they quickly hold their mouths to prevent them from raising their voices, followed by others approaching them waving their knives down to the back of their necks.

It was quick to beat the pigeon tail and stun him if it was supposed to be, but only the knight wears half plate armor, and his torso is covered with armor.

If so, there would have been no posterior rot if I broke my neck bone, but it was Theorem's idea that I didn't want to imitate the countryman like that against him even if he was hostile now.

(If His Royal Highness Vihella asks, do you say sweet?... No, what His Highness Vihella prefers is only combat, not killing. He smiles bitterly when he can't help it... something like that)

With a small, bitter smile, he pushes the knight who has passed out intact into an empty room nearby.

"Cuken, are these the two of the four knights you were talking about?

Küken nods to Theorame's inquiry and affirms it.

"Right. Then I'll clean it up quickly. Cyans."

"Yes, no matter how handsome you are, it won't be that hard to disable you with this degree of arm. If there are only two of them left, then it's still there."

Theorem's men laugh when they recognize their arms in cyans who say so lightly without changing their expression.

But soon his expression disappears, and he leaves the room where he left the knights who passed out.

(Right there...... yes, right there. Your Highness Merclio, I'll be right up to help you)

Keeping out of the room and continuing down the aisle, Cuken, who is inadvertently walking ahead, waves to draw attention behind his back.

The line, starting with Theorem and Ciance, is quiet, carefully exploring the surroundings… Eventually I notice a slight talk coming from the room at the end of the aisle.

"Damn, if I could, I would have liked to have gone to the martial arts tournament. This is what we have to do here."

"Hey, you've been listening in advance about that, haven't you? They're moving to help His Highness."

"Ha, it's moving, you Theorem bastard, right? of fallen heroes, who fled back in the spring war."

"Tell you what, we have to do something when that fallen hero arrives. I guess you understand that, don't you?

"It's okay, it's okay. Whatever."

In such a conversation, Theorem causes others to raise blood vessels on their foreheads anyway.

Ciance doesn't look very angry among them, but he was clearly giving more force to his surroundings.

You'll find it as it is. Above all, leaving the angry men intact also means they are not sleeping well, so Theorem quickly sends signals by hand.

Follow that signal and be ready for each one to enter the room.

……

Keuken, who sees Theorem snort silently, opens the door at once as it is.

"Hmm? What, back..."

I suppose you thought that the knight who was inside came back with a colleague who went around perfectly. Tell him so, but his gaze is directed at Cuken, and he looks at me for a moment, wondering why the maid is in a place like this.

In comparison, the other knight responded quickly. Look at Theorem behind Cuken. No, no, reach for the sheath of his hips.

But...... even for a moment, it was fatal to be struck by the appearance of Cuken.

When the knight's hand touched the pattern of the long sword, Ciance was already standing next to the knight, and he was knifed to the neck and lost consciousness.

And the knight of those who were being deprived of consciousness by Cuken is poked at the cutting edge of the long sword by Theorem, and is assembled by his men.

Little noise was made at that time, which meant how skilled Theorem's men were in combat.

"... Now, I'm the guy you were talking about as a fallen hero"

"Ho, you really can't believe you're coming to a place like this... you think you can just imitate like this!?

"Well, I don't know. Sure doesn't seem like it's going to be all right."

While I return that word, there is a suspicion in Theorem that Kabazid, who deployed these knights here, didn't intend to just do it from the beginning.

To make him understand the danger of assassination, to force Merclio out of the castle, and to want a great name to legally take over.

But there was no better reason not to move as Theorem than the fact that it was in a crisis of assassination in this castle.

"It's good about me. More than that... can you tell me where His Highness Merclio is?"

When Theorem tells him that, for a moment only, the knight's man turns his gaze to the door in the room… to a different door than Theorem and the others came in.

It was almost a reflexive move, but it still didn't take long for Theorem to figure out where his own master was.
