"Right. You've been protecting me for three days."
"I wonder why they went after you, not Sheila."
"Think about it, there was no way I was going after Master Sheila for anything. Think about it. With the royal decree of the king, the plan of the prime minister's office will only become a bubble of water, or they will have killed Master Scarabel's master. His Majesty the King and His Highness the Chancellor have a rounded face."
"I'm sorry about Zach Zykers, too."
"That's right. But if the eagle is assassinated, you can't publicly declare it's an assassination. If this means that the lord appointed by His Majesty the King has been killed, etc., it will damage His Majesty's prestige and also create obstacles to the implementation of this plan. Successors were certified for treatment of illness and death, and the plan would have been implemented as planned"
"Then there's no point in Zach assassinating you."
"Even if there is. This is a strong warning to the surrounding lords. It is a warning that unsolicited gestures will not be tolerated in the northeast of the kingdom. The lords will tremble. Coggles is in a bad mood."
"I see."
"Besides, as long as I'm gone, I still can't fight Zach in Agate. Tied up in the middle of nowhere, vodka would have ended up being Coggles."
"But don't shut up about Wang Du."
"That's where the subtleties are. In the end, it is a question of how the Prime Minister's office will find the hassle, budget and results to be obtained. And it's a mixture of long-term and short-term prospects."
I don't know what that means.
"As Prime Minister's Office, I want to bring the King's authority deep down to Sumizu in the kingdom. I would also like to make the whole kingdom more prosperous. But the budget and the manpower are limited, so how much power do we immediately give to the northeastern part of the kingdom now, and how much power do we need?"
"Hmm."
"If we get our hands on it halfway now, there will be political chaos in the northeast of the kingdom and even a danger of insurgency, then development in the northeast will be postponed. I don't think it would be pleasant."
"Is that what you mean? So Zach tried to get the Chancellor in charge."
"That's right. I tried to express my anger by killing the eagle. I read that the prime minister's office decided that the hassle and the gain would not be matched."
"Sounds a lot like a dangerous bet to me."
"Even if it's dangerous. But now I guess Zach thought it was a branch that needed to be risked. If the intimidation of the Chancellery and the surrounding lords had been successful, it would have been worth the risk because it would have sucked the umami out of the well-kept streets."
"But Zach lost the bet."
"That's right. Besides, it should take a little while for Zach to find out that the assassination failed because you also captured Mihari's man. Nevertheless, the next assassin will eventually be turned over. Lecan, I have a favor to ask of you, the golden adventurer of this town."
"Let's just ask"
"I want you to escort me."
"Say no."
"Why not! You don't want to carry things the way they want you to."
"Nothing. It's none of my business if you die or if the streets fail."
"What?"
"If Zach had gotten his hands on Sheila, I would have been his enemy. But if you think about it, there's no way he would have done that."
"What do you mean?
"He has investigative skills. You know me and Sheila, to some extent. If he kills Sheila, I'll kill him. You know about that."
"Is Zach so afraid of you?
"It's not like you're afraid. I can't calculate my combat abilities, so I won't bother to turn them around."
"Have you ever met Zach Zykers?
"Didn't I tell you? I've been to Coggles. I talked to Zach."
"What kind of man did you think Zach was?
"For him, everything was a battle. A town called Coggles follows you around. Cut it off so you can get fat. Success in business is just a means to him. I interrupted his plan a little, but he said he wanted to hire me next."
"What?"
"Zach Zykers is someone who can't relate to emotions, but can relate to gold. No matter how bad, I thought Zach was that kind of guy."
"No way, you wouldn't let Zach hire you, would you?
"You may be hired. But I don't think I'm going to take a request like this assassination of yours. Cheney's gonna be annoyed."
"Are you worried about my life?
"Don't."
"You saved me from assassination this time."
"That's just what happened in the making. You're the one who rode the ass horses of the fools of the king's capital and brought trouble to Sheila and me. Why should I worry about you?
"What trouble! You have no idea how honorable and honorable this is!
"You're just like Zeps Goncourt."
"Hey, what?
"He deceived Edda, took consciousness with his demonic props, and took him away to the mansion. He told Edda in front of me. If you were in this mansion, you'd be dressed in beautiful clothes, eating good food, and living happily ever after. He would have thought so. This is an honor and an honor for Edda."
"Are you saying you're just like a despicable kidnapper?"
"Let's ask the other way around. Neither you nor Zeps think about the convenience or feelings of the other, nor try to hear them, but push their positions and values unilaterally. And I don't doubt it's natural for the other person to follow it. What's wrong with that?
I didn't mean to say it so far, Lecan didn't have it.
Lekan admitted somewhat to a man named Krims Urban, Lord of Voca. I felt that the town of Voca, ruled by this lord, was a good one. And even in this case, the lord's joy and struggle were quite understandable if preferable.
But now that she had heard Sheila's mood, Lekan was angry at her irrationality.
Sheila just wanted to live quietly and inconspicuously in this town. I just wanted to live secretly, serving people from inconspicuous places, saving people.
Its peace has been broken and Sheila is giving up living in this town.
Anger over the matter made me speak harshly against my lord.
Exactly, Crimes put his anger on his face.
But with the power of his will he suppressed his emotions, examined his breath, and tried to ask Lecan in a calm voice.
"Lekan, what does Sheila feel like? What does Sheila wish for?"
"How do you think Sheila, with all that knowledge and skill, lives in such an inconvenient place? Why aren't you trying to get the money off the rampage? Why don't you take a disciple and only try to have minimal involvement around you?
Crimes expressed confusion by twisting his eyebrows slightly, not trying to open his mouth.
"I want to live inconspicuously and quietly without being slighted by people. That's Sheila's wish."
Crimes sighed.
"I can't do that. As I learned from listening to Master Scarabelle, Sheila's accomplishments are too great. That knowledge and skill is too great. There's no way we can leave it alone."
Lecan thought that I shouldn't say the next word.
If I say any more, my relationship with Crimes, which I have built so well, will be broken. I knew that.
Though I knew, the words spilled out of my mouth.
"Right. You say that those who sharpened their knowledge and skills and thereby served the world to great merit could only be frequented by the powerful of the world. That is the same as saying that those who possess the power of" purification "can only be abducted and enslaved by nobility. You think Sheila should sacrifice herself for the development of vodka."
This is almost close to a claim. Lekan himself knew that, but the wrath without a place to do it, he had no choice but to express it in this way.
Crimes did not answer.
"Just remember this. If you or Scalabel do Sheila any more harm and trample Sheila's life, you and Scalabel are my enemies."
I said it.
I've said things I shouldn't have said.
But I can't do what I didn't say when I did.
Rekan left the Lordship Hall in the shadow of the aftertaste.
