Magi Craft Meister
23-21 Prince Wang/Mysterious Girl
"... Hmm, that's an interesting story"
Listening to stories from Fritz, Gloria, Cynthia, and Rita, it is César Valore, Prince of the Kingdom of Celluloa, who is snorting offensively.
After interacting with a disrespectful senior soldier, Fritz and his men were begged to accompany him.
Of the five heavy walls, between the fourth and fifth, that is, they were guided to a separate house in the aristocratic district.
And when he heard that Rita had been sold to fill the missing taxes, Prince Wang was quietly outraged.
"In the first place, slaves themselves are illegal. Earlier, when a noisy soldier on a ship said the word 'slave', he was concerned."
(… If we continue to do this, the hearts and minds of our people will not remain out of the country, but will also come out of those who escape the country. If that is a decline in national power, why does no one realize...)
And César gave them his wish.
"By Via Terrus, I assume your lords have come through the kingdom of Egerea? Can you tell me what you've noticed?"
As soon as I mouthed that, I realized it was a bad way of saying it.
"No, I'm sorry. This is not asking for information about the Kingdom of Egerea. I don't know what to say... yes, I want you to tell me about our reputation from the outside."
If this is the case, the frizz are rare.
"Right... technologically advanced country, right"
"Well, I'm honored to be told that by Lord Fritz of the Shawlo Empire. Your country is developing a variety of new technologies these days, isn't it?"
"Yeah, well... I'm sure they're developing, but most of them might have been given."
"Hmm? What's that supposed to mean?
César tilted his neck.
"Don't you know His Highness? The name of Lord Jin Nido."
"No, no, even if I know. There's only one Magic Engineer in the world, Magicraft Jazz."
"Then I was wondering if you could see that any technology would look faded before him."
Then César closed his eyes and also slammed deep into the chair.
"... Again, is that so? I'm not in a position to get much outside information, so that's hardly what I'm talking about."
"Your Highness..."
Fritz was stunned by the fact that even if the king prince of the great power was laid down information control.
"Hehe, that's the truth, so I can't help it. Even when it comes to the prince, he has no power other than the right of inheritance # 1... No, it may be too much to say that there is none, which is equal to none compared to the Father King"
César laughed in self-derision.
"Anything else? What rumors are there?
"... Did you know about the incident that occurred the other day at the ruins of the former Kingdom of Leonard?
The next time I opened my mouth it was Gloria.
"... No, I don't. Can I ask you something?
"Yes. I think it was late January. The location is the ruins of Soldrake. That's where 500 golems were discovered..."
He spoke of the stuffing of the Golem Recovery Troops of the Kingdom of Egerea with the Border Troops of the Kingdom of Cellular, the appearance of supergiant ants (Gigaanto), the total annihilation of the Border Troops, etc.
She heard and knew in detail during her treatment in the kingdom of Egerea.
"... what... that's..."
Hands on his face, Prince Wang leaning down as if he had been depressed.
"... what is your father thinking..."
I sighed and raised my face.
"... thank you for letting me hear your precious story. Would you mind staying, if I could? Of course, your freedom is guaranteed."
"I don't mind..."
Fritz answers. The Empire of Shouro is relatively easy because it has no past with the Kingdom of Cellulosia. but Gloria and Cynthia are different. The kingdom of Klein competes with the kingdom of Cellulosia, its dependencies, and the kingdom of Franz all year round.
"The safety of Lord Gloria and Lord Cynthia is also guaranteed with my pride"
"... let us sweeten your words"
In the first place, it's a suspicious situation to see if we can take the option of saying no.
with some hesitation, but Gloria agreed. César smiles.
"Right, thanks. It's a little small, but I'd like to welcome you. And if possible, I want you to tell me more stories."
Nevertheless, time is also time, so it became a stream of bathing, and dinner.
At that dinner setting, César brought one girl and introduced her to the Fritz.
Rare pitch black hair, more rare red eyes, and white skin to pull out. About eight or nine years old from what I've seen. Closer to a young girl than a girl.
The girl bowed as she had, half-step back and pulled behind César. In the meantime, it remains silent all the time.
"She was near the Nubari mine, and I stumbled upon it. It was a blur when I found it, and I didn't even remember its name. He still can't remember."
Behind César, the girl is sadly leaning down on her face.
"I want to ask your lords. Don't you know anything about her that might give you a clue? As you can see, hair color, eye color, pretty rare category. If blood clans share the same traits, haven't we met somewhere?
But Fritz, Cynthia and Rita shook their heads sideways. Only Gloria stared at the girl with a slightly nervous face.
"... well, too bad"
But I'll let you know when I get a clue.
Fritz contracted on behalf of him.
"Well, that would be appreciated"
And the girl, silently, bowed her head with a dust.
Neither were the Fritz, nor were they particularly suited for questioning after dinner, to indulge in the room they were given.
"... ugh"
"I don't know, you're a little tired"
Fritz sighed and leaked the truth.
"... I never thought I'd see His Royal Highness Prince Wang and be invited straight to another house"
Cynthia looks tired too. Until Rita, at the end of her tiredness, she was already sleeping in her bed.
"But didn't you think that kid was crazy?
To Fritz's words, Cynthia nodded.
"Yeah. I don't know... I felt uncomfortable..."
"Is that uncomfortable? Mm-hmm. Uncomfortable, that's the most plausible word. But it's unfortunate that I can't remember without it."
Fritz shrugged in a difficult face.
"Maybe... but my sister could do something about it."
"Lord Elsa..."
"Oh. You can ask me to come to the next memorial service, perhaps with Lord Jin."
"Right. I think it would be best if Lord Fritz asked for it."
Cynthia also agreed.
"Maybe you can erase Rita's tattoo."
"Oh, right. Shea's right. Lord Fritz, I'd like you to join me."
"I don't even need to be told"
And Fritz was surprised that Gloria's expression was less than usual.
"Lord Gloria, what's wrong? You feel bad, too?
Then Gloria raised her eyes, who were lying down, and spoke out slowly.
"... that kid's name is... maybe it's Arshel"
"Lord Gloria, did you know?
"Oh, but it's too different from Arshel in my memory..."
And Gloria told the story of a monster-tamer she once met in the mountains of the Kingdom of Klein, between Lachnot and Doppa.
"... Hmmm... giant scissors, giganto avlm, or"
"I'm not sure it's really the same person. The atmosphere is too different. But you look just like me. Maybe twin sisters."
"Indeed, it was named 'Arshel the Puppet (Kutsu)'. If Lord Deus Ex Makina hadn't helped me then I wouldn't have been here by now"
"Hmm, Lord Makina."
And the topic moves on to the story of Deus Ex Machina.
He is also the person who saved me when I was attacked by a monster who would be 'backwards' in the ruins of Botsfa.
Gloria was losing her mind, but Cynthia was seeing him.
I mean, he's Lord Jin's brother.
"Uhm.... am I invited to this commemorative ceremony?
Gloria said something with a little anticipation.
"I don't know about that. Unlike Lord Jin, you don't know who you are and you don't know where you're based, so you won't be able to invite him, and you won't want to invite such a suspicious person."
"Must be."
And the topic will be Girl Again —— It will be about Arshel.
"In any case, Lord Gloria. I think you should share your concerns with Prince Wang."
"Okay. Let's have a good talk tomorrow."
And Fritz looked this way and out the window. It is already dark. More or less like 7pm.
"Then I shall say no to Your Highness and come out for a moment."
"What... oh, about 'Goliath'"
"That's the thing. I'll probably be waiting in the shallow water, so I'll come back with instructions."
Walking down the hallway, there was a door guarded by four escorts. It is the bedroom of the Prince Wang.
Fritz had one of his escorts catch him and he was able to speak to Prince Wang.
"Hmm, 'Goliath'? You're a little interested, can I come with you?
César said things that didn't occur to him.
"If I'm with you, it'll be easier to get past the walls."
"Sure..."
After a little thought, Fritz decided to have him accompany her. I'm going to publish it at the ceremony anyway, so there's no need to hide it now, and there's no mistake that it stood out on the road so far.
"Okay, please"
So Fritz went out with César and his two escorts.
