Legend

On the night the duel took place, in winter, a banquet was held everywhere in the Guild.

The festival in the winter and, above all, those who watched the duel were making noise with excitement.

... Most of them were happy to be exhilarated and drink alcohol and eat food, but not all of them in the Guild were cheerfully noisy.

The nobles, gathered in the royalist noble mansion in the aristocratic district, were liquoring with a bitter look on their face.

What is prepared is expensive liquor or dishes made with rare ingredients, but the nobles surrounding it were not very able to taste it.

"Damn, what is the Count Eriel family thinking!? I didn't know you were sending such a fool!

One nobleman screams as he slaps the cup to the table, even when he says it's his parents' revenge.

The reaction of those who were listening to it is divided into two parts.

One looks at the nobility who screamed bitterly, and the other screams to agree with the nobility who screamed.

The nobles gathered in this mansion because of the Kings, but only the largest of the three factions of the Kingdom of Mireana, are divided into several of the Kings.

With a bitter look are those belonging to the same faction that sent the keepers.

The nobles who agree with the roaring nobility are those of other factions.

They were royalist nobles split in two beautifully, but one of the latter nobles opens his mouth.

"As it is, the face of the Kings will fall to the earth. Even though the outside story is bad just to say that he tried to take away the maid of the poor aristocracy, such as the Baron Cisne family, he brought it further into the duel and lost a great deal. I don't know what you thought. I bet half the estate of Count Eriel's family, and it's being legally handled."

"Right. What do you think he imitated like this..."

"It must be because I haven't thought about it. Anyway, what that fool named Keep did was foolishness in the act. And most importantly, the problem is that he's a king.... I would like to ask, what did your faction think sent such a person to the Guild?

The blaming gaze was directed at those who belonged to the faction that worked to send the keepsake to the Guild.

One of them opens his mouth with a bitter look on his face.

"As far as we're concerned, you're honest that you didn't think you'd do a stupid imitation so far. Originally, I was going to make a lot of noise and the upper echelons of the Kings would intervene and wedge between the neutrals and the aristocrats..."

"I didn't know it would turn out this way, just... I didn't know it would cause so many stupid problems"

"Ri, Ri. Those in the king's capital who have sent such a man should be blamed, and the sons and daughters in this guild must join hands and work together as kings."

The others give an unpleasant look to the convenient words of the factions who sent the keepsake.

But we still don't complain because we actually have to work together.

Indeed, we are nobles belonging to the Kings, the largest faction in the kingdom of Mireana.

But if you say so, this guild is also the home of the Neutralists.

If we're going to break with each other here, there's a chance that we'll get some strange fling from a neutral nobleman, including Dusker, or... or a noble nobleman.

It was true that we still needed to unite as kings in order to prevent that.

That is why the duel that took place today left the Kings with few wounds.

"… we will certainly need to work together."

By that word, it will be shelved as far as the theory of responsibility for the time being is concerned.

When that happens, the next thing that comes up in question is about keeping.

"So what are you going to do about that leak lord?

Unexpectedly everyone erupts into the words whined by one of the nobles.

Everyone in this room never thought that the next owner of the Count's family would imitate that they would leak it in public.

"I'm talking about Lord Leak. Probably going into short-circuit behavior."

"Like raiding Baron Cisne's house and killing them all, and then deciding they didn't have everything?

"But you already tried that, didn't you? On top of that, I guess I was repelled by an adventurer who ended up hired me to escort the mansion... how many leaks would you use a failed hand once?

"My Lord Leaker, if I don't have any other hands, I'm going to bet on a one-shot reversal."

"Hmm. So what? You want to let Uncle Larks know about this? That would show that at least the leaking lord's behavior is something that the Kings do not recognize?

"... Hmm, that might be a good idea"

All the royalist nobles nodded and quickly tried to run people into the Lords' Hall, at that time.

The sound of the doors opening rampantly echoes around them, and the gaze of those who were there is directed towards the entrance of the room.

It would be natural to assume that those present here are aristocrats that the gaze became such a blame.

The Lord of the Mansion shouts in exasperation at such a wretched intruder.

"What are you doing!

But the man who was yelled at approached his husband early enough with a look like he was saved.

I guess the master of the hall also questioned how it was going. Wait for the man to approach with a slight frown.

And the man mouths the information that just came into his husband's ear.

"Stupid! Anything would be too soon!

I scream when I say I can't believe it.

Then naturally the other nobles, who were watching closely, are also intrigued by what happened.

But the nobleman of the LORD of this mansion opens his mouth without looking concerned about the curious gaze of his companions.

Just now, to let my people know what I've been told.

"I just got a report from my men.... He took as much fighting power as the Keepsake could take and headed to Baron Sisne's house. That number, fifty or more"

"Become!?

Everyone on the spot leaks their dismay at the report.

I did anticipate that the Keep might raid Baron Sisne's house.

But I had no idea I was going to suddenly imitate that this evening.

"It would be too soon to take action on anything!?

"You're an idiot, so you must have taken action without thinking deeply!

"Fifty or more? How did you get all those people together?

"What do we do!? Because of that leak, you can't even see the damage coming this way!

It was difficult to wrap up the debate on what the royalist nobles who had gathered on the spot should do with a move that was too unexpected.

Time returns.

When the duel was over and the winter sunset was almost at night, the keepsake was rough in his room.

"Haaaaaaaaaa! Damn, damn, damn! What the hell is going on! What did I do! What makes everyone laugh at me!?

Swing the nearby decorated spear wide and hit the furniture in the room eight times.

Just a keepsake who has never worked out his body, the speed at which he waves the spear is slow and not sharp.

Still, I was able to destroy the furniture in the room.

Most importantly, sturdy furniture like a desk was supposed to cause intense paralysis in the arm of the keeper.

Even that irritates me, I wave my spear and keep breaking the furniture...

"Yes... I'm not bad. Whoever sees it, no matter where it comes from, I'm not bad. It's not bad. The bad news is that poor nobleman who defied me. The title also defies me at the minute of the poor down there... in the first place, without them, there would have been none of my faults. Yes, I mean, if only that interrupter had disappeared..."

The reason this duel took place was that everything in the keep had already been conveniently altered when the Baron Sisne family was bad.

"Without those evil roots, I can still... still start over. Yeah, it's the guy who got in my way, no matter who he was. I'm not bad. It's bad they attacked me. Yes, it is."

It was a keepsake I was whining as I looked at the wall where I was scratched because I punched him with a spear, but eventually that whining disappeared with the sound of the door being knocked.

"Who?"

"It's me, Master Keep. As I said before the duel, I'm already ready to raid Baron Sisne's house. After that, Master Keepsake gives the order, and if you take the lead and attack the Baron Cisne house, everything will fit in circles."

Keeping his eyes gleamed for a moment at Fultos' words, who revealed himself by opening the door… but when asked to take the lead, he would butt in.

"Oh, am I going to take the lead? What, do you have to do such a dangerous imitation?

I usually look great, but I butt in as soon as I have to, when I may become dangerous.

I knew the character of the keepsake, Fultus, but I still can't stop him from tongue-in-cheek.

(For me to escape this scene, someone needs to make a lot of noise elsewhere to draw attention. To do that, the best option is for this man, who is getting high profile on today's case, to get busted. If I don't manage to make this guy care about that......)

The scrapping of the keepsake is an inevitable future if we lose the duel originally.

And it is obvious that Fultos, who came to the Guild with him as a keeper's man, is naturally just sorry.

I wish I could just be necked, but if I did poorly, I could get my neck skipped in a physical sense, and I was absolutely sorry to see you like that with a man's entanglement like Keepsake.

Beyond that, we just have to draw attention to the keepsake and dazzle the whereabouts with all the treasures possible in the meantime.

For such a flutos, it was imperative that the keepsake stand out and launch a raid on the Baron Cisne family.

"Rest assured, Master Keep. This one has collected more than fifty people. No matter how strong that ray is, there's nothing you can do about this difference in numbers. Besides, if Master Keep leads everyone now to raid the Baron Sisne house, you'll also get that maid that Master Keep was craving. But without Master Keepsake... those who have lost control may take it personally."

"... what?

The keepsake movement, which has shown fright until now, is stopped by a word of frutos.

Fultos also had a slightly surprising look on this, which he thought would probably be all right.

(What brings you that far, to that maid? It wouldn't have been as beautiful as I wanted to get. No, you're seeing this because you tried to get that maid, so you want to at least just get that maid, or something like that? Which would be convenient for me)

For Furtos, it was enough to say that the keepsake showed motivation, even if he didn't know why he was so adamant about the Assier.

"So I was wondering if this would be the best option for Master Kept to take the lead and raid the Cisne family and decide that he didn't have everything on this one. That maid won't refuse to come under Master Keepsake if the baron Cisne she serves dies."

Too obvious a word.

Usually, I would have felt something strange about Furtos's attitude, even if it was a keepsake.

But I couldn't say that the current keepsake is very, but sane.

Every negative emotion - anger, shame, desire - is present in the keepsake and rampaging around.

When it was said that all of it would be eliminated, the keepsake could not go against it.

"Okay, let's go, let's go! I'll remind the guy who made me look like this! The rest of them are going to be useless!? You're never gonna have anything like a duel today that's just useless and aligned!

Still around pronouncing the word of confirmation, I guess it shows the cowardice of keeping.

"Yes, we have many who stand up in arms. I was wondering if Master Keepsake would be able to break out as he thought. Please show your full frustration. Because Master Keepsake is the next owner of the Count Eriel family, and he's not enough to take such a poor Baron family."

"Right. Yeah, that's how it's decided. I'm right about everything. It's wrong of them to get annoyed. Yes, it clears up this depression of mine!

Keep the spear you were holding, Keepsake leaves the room.

He also confirmed that the knights of the escort who were waiting in the hallway would follow him after such a keepsake, with a grin in Furtos' mouth.

Though the laughter should have been called ridicule.

"Well, he's attracting the attention of the other guys because he stands out flashy. We need to get out of the mansion as soon as possible. Thank you for the golden-eyed items, so please work hard and stand out, Master Keepsake."

With no respect or respect, Furtos left the room to get ready to escape from the mansion.
