Marquis' Express Butler

213. People from the Tower (1)

In my words, the prince seemed to have resigned. By exposing what he wanted to deny to the end.

“If the Prague Confederate wakes up from his coma and acts as a Burset, he'll be bragging about summoning the Devil instead of building a gate to the Magic Cube. So what good would that do? ”

I'm guessing he's in shock because he smashed Mana Circle. If Confucius Prague was fine, he would have said he did dark magic.

If your circle is broken, you won't be able to use magic. You fall into Mana's intoxication.

Mana addiction is very lethal. Usually you lose your life if you don't get treatment.

But perhaps Confucius Prague can restore peace, so it is best to plan ahead.

And I like that plan clear. I think it's the second word of the Marquis, which means something to me.

“But if you don't mind, if you can take all the risks, release the Confucius. It's because the princess is innocent, as you thought. ”

“I can't... do that. ”

“Then the sooner the choice, the better. There should be no unnecessary stories leaking out. It's a good way to keep your mouth shut. ”

“Still, no death penalty. I don't see why not. ”

The erl confessed.

“You're absolutely right. It's virtually impossible to find a cause of death. ”

Confucius Hamel was calling out that he had to kill an opponent somehow, but there was no reason to kill Confucius Prague.

He is not a slave or a free man, but the son of a prince. In order to convict him of the death penalty, he must stand trial.

There's nothing good about a trial.

It is natural to release the charges of the Confucius under all circumstances, and it is natural to send paladins and investigators from the Church that received the information.

That would be a real pain in the ass.

What if Earl Astria is after our territory and something bad happens inside?

The most dangerous enemies are not on the outside, but on the inside.

Not that I personally experienced it, but everyone was reluctant to intervene. Although not in the Holy Kingdom, the Church seems to be very strong.

If you poke the inside of the church in a situation where there is a commotion at the border, you can take irreversible damage. Earl Astria could start an all-out war.

You can't kill him quietly, though. He must be very headache from the warden's perspective.

“I have a good idea. ”

“What……? ”

“I'd like to hear your thoughts first. If you want to free the second one, there's nothing good to say. If you decide to punish the death penalty, I'll tell you then. ”

“Hmm.”

The monarch's jaw twists and writhes.

I've waited long enough, but not the knights outside. I wonder if he doesn't notice. You hear the Guardian Knight's thick voice.

“Sir, Confucius Hamel is here. ”

“Hamel?”

The monarch looks embarrassed. He must have gotten information that he was monogamous with me and moved to his residence immediately. I take a step back. He gestured to let Confucius Hamel in.

The erl finally gave the order.

“Listen. ”

“Yes, Mr. President. ”

Immediately, the door opened with a heavy voice. Confucius Hamel swung his cloak and swooped in with pride. Are you trying to take over the throne?

Confucius Hamel and I took turns looking around and smiled.

“I don't know what you two are having so much fun talking about. Mind if I join you? It was a boring car. ”

I only look at the duchess, and I look away, expressing the duchess's expression. I think it means do whatever you want.

As I pondered for a moment, Confucius Hamel grinned.

“What were you talking about? Sir Dylan, you'd better be honest. The answer's obvious anyway. ”

If the answer is obvious, why don't you just talk about it?

I sighed and explained to him what I was talking about. Confucius Hamel frowned as if he had expected it.

“You were telling me a funny story. Great! Can I tell you what I think? I think it would be appropriate to frame the rebellion. It's easy to kill. ”

I didn't react well. It's nonsense. The Marquis explained why.

“Rebellion is not something you can do alone. Someone has to be sacrificed. There will also be limits to counterfeiting. ”

“Then just starve to death! What did you let him do that was so good? Ha, I don't understand. He was blessed. to be loved like this by my father. ”

The blasphemy continues, but the monarch cannot blame it.

It seemed to me that the prince had a solid weakness for Confucius Hamel. If Hamel tries to win a Sheep's Helmet, he'll be the best.

“Prague tricked us into thinking he was a wartime soldier... Otherwise, they would have doubted your brother's annihilation. If there was a better way, he would have done something immediately. ”

“Don't call me brother. It's offensive to be involved with a sinner. ”

“Hamel.”

“Don't look at me like that. He is a sinner, not a member of our family. Keep in mind that you tried to open a gate connected to the Magic System. ”

To be honest, I was able to understand the Marquis's feelings.

You cannot kill and you cannot save. Nevertheless, we can neither make the sin of death penalty nor release it as if nothing had happened.

Then what should we do?

Of course I knew one way. I talked to Chris on the way back here, and I've heard one thing from him.

That's when Confucius Hamel came into the car to tell us about it.

Confucius Hamel, who was exchanging opinions with the Marquis and me, suddenly glanced at me.

“You look like you have an idea. ”

“There is one way. ”

“Speak up.”

“I told you before that you have a decision to make. ”

I left my burden to the baron. The monarch sighed deeply and eventually nodded and lifted his gaze at me.

“I'll do as you say. So give me a good opinion. ”

“The solution is simpler than I thought. Send the second one to the steeple. ”

“A steeple?”

Confucius Hamel opened his eyes wide and looked at me. Then he suddenly bursts into laughter.

“Hahahaha! Well, that's just the way it is. Clearly, that way we can isolate him from speed dial. But the fact that he's breathing is offensive. ”

“We don't have to think about it until then. Its rules are strict, and even if you flee, you will suffer serious damage. ”

We already know that just by looking at Chris' case. He became incapable of using magic.

The second one is in a coma, and there are all kinds of blue flowers blooming all over him. The side effect of the circle being destroyed. We don't have much choice anyway.

“And now that Mana's addiction is getting worse, all we have to do is identify her as a Mana user and send her to the tower. They need to be treated. No matter what you talk about in there, it's a quarantined place. It's not going to be easy. ”

The baron nods. I think he's convinced. We have enough room to do things quietly without killing the Second Confederate.

“Is there any way to contact the Horse Tower? ”

“Yes. I'll take care of that. Please be as good as the others who know about this. ”

“I understand. I'll do as you say. ”

I took an example and looked at Confucius Hamel for a moment. He nods and chins toward the entrance. It was a sign to get out.

What kind of deal is that?

I'm sure he'll pay for the second one. He wanted to be executed in the first place. Sending it to the Horse Tower itself would be described as a large yield yield yield.

I went out there. I didn't eavesdrop. I have a lot of work to do.

* * *

That's how I got to Chris' place.

He has been assigned a good home for my candlelight. Adelina Castle is as big as a mansion, so guests can stay as long as they want.

When I opened the door, Chris took his eyes off the book and looked at me.

“You said you were leaving for the estate tomorrow. ”

“Have the rumors reached this far already? ”

Chris smiled and looked back at the book.

“You were secretly popular. All the maids are your story. Word got around that Sapiella and I are going on a moonlight trip tomorrow. ”

“I think you misunderstood the meaning of the word" moonlight trip. "”

“You're not here to make a fuss. It's written on your face. I have a question. Take it out.”

I don't think anyone's an informant. I sat across from him, laughing. There was no one inside, so I was able to get straight to the point.

“Is there a steeple for the second duke? ”

“You know, not even dark magic, but a tower that handles a little dark-feeling magic. ”

“Can you make contact? ”

Chris nods.

“I thought you'd ask. I've already prepared it. If we ask, someone will come out of that tower. We should be in Adelina by now. ”

“How did you know to ask? ”

“Even if you think about it calmly, the Viceroy has only one option. ”

He twitches a finger.

“The only decisions you can make in a situation where you can't kill or save are the towers, right? Even if the viceroy hadn't made that choice, you and Confessor Hamel would have led the decision that way. Isn't that why you broke the circle? ”

I nodded. Chris briefly explained the following procedure. I asked you to invite the men of the tower here today.

“What's the rush? ”

“I thought it might be a good idea to watch the handover. I leave for my territory tomorrow. ”

“I see.”

Maybe it was because he mentioned Milwaymoon first that Chris wrote his book there. And he gave it to me.

“Mustang will be here. I'm at the Silver Sand Inn, so send me a copy. It'll be handled right away. ”

“Sure."

“As I told you in advance, the Horse Towers have no manners and no knowledge of the world's waters. You'd better not react if they say the wrong thing or if they're rude. ”

“I'll pass that on to my master. ”

Chris nods, and I leave the room to avoid interrupting the reading. And I handed the letter to the boy who was serving as an errand boy.

I was a little worried, but the book seems to have been delivered well.

That night, two men in robes who were guilty of plotting found Adelina Castle.

They described themselves as part of the "gray sunset."

The gate is open.

I was beaten by two men, who neatened the outfit. And briefly introduced me.

“Deacon Dylan. Thank you for coming all this way while you were busy. It is an honor to be here with you. ”

“Enough with the useless goldfish. There's a Mana user here? ”

“Yes. Please, come in. ”

I spread my hands inward, and the two men who turned the robe upside down walked down the hallway with an indifferent look on their faces.
