To begin with, Prado intended to bring a copy of the "Truth Bell" judgment certificate obtained from the Temple to the Chancellery of the Wang Capital to uncover Cassandra's inviolability.

As for the Knight Karodan, I wasn't willing to send him to the Wazlov family, but I didn't intend to return him to the Bordolin family.

But Cannell convinced me to change my policy. Cannell thought Norma's policy would be more effective.

First, a copy of the Temple's certificate was not sent to the Chancellery, but to the Bordolin family. together with a letter to the effect that:

It is truly regrettable that your servant, Nilft, made the mistake of assassinating Dopus Goncourt, who was supposed to take his life from the great Cassandra lord of your house and nominate him as our successor, and broke into my bedroom again, poking poison needles at me. The culprit Nilft was made to stand trial for the "Truth Bell" at the Temple of Kelles, and obtained a confession as per the enclosed certificate before being executed at home. Your family, including the Knight Karodan Hoist, will return to your family all but Nilft, who was executed as soon as the investigation was completed, regarding Nilft's assault, Nilft's plain words and deeds, the situation in your house, etc. Until then, Xandria and Lord Horcasa will be retained in our house, but please be assured that they will be treated with care. I hope that your friendship with our family will continue to deepen and prosper together.

The letter was largely in line with Norma's proposal, but its effects were intense.

First, the knight Karodan, who showed this letter, changed his attitude suddenly. Until then, no matter what I heard, I remained silent, but on the contrary, I began to answer whatever I heard. The same thing happened to the entire line of the Bordolin family.

Next, the Bordolins drastically changed their attitude as before. It was on the ninth day of the second month that I sent out a messenger with a letter, but what an early messenger from the Bordolin family arrived at the Goncourt family on the sixteenth day of the same month. Xandria Parents, Sons and Knights, Karodan. The first line of the Bordolin family has already struck a voca on the eleventh day.

Surprisingly, the messenger was Kilik Bordolin. He is the real brother of our Lord Nipedo Bordolin. Nipedo and Kilik are both the sons of Cassandra, rulers of the Bordolin family, and Kilik is the third heaviest town in the Bordolin family sequence.

Kilik told me that his real mother, Cassandra, had given instructions that would be misunderstood as if she had ordered an assassination, and that she knew nothing about such instructions, neither Nipedo nor herself. And Cassandra was also recently seen on the volatile side of her thoughts, so in the future she handed over a parent book from Nipedo that said she had decided to let her out of the mansion and quiet her in a scenic villa.

This means he retired Cassandra, who has been proud of his power for many years. It shows how Nipedo and Kilik were shocked by this incident and felt in crisis again.

At the same time, Kilik transferred several leading businesses to the Goncourt family. That sum is huge, reaching nearly a third of the Goncourt family's total assets. The Bordolin family's economy is much larger than the Goncourt family's, but even so, it's a small sacrifice for the Bordolin family.

This is not the only assassination attempt on the Goncourt family's successor.

Anyway, the information obtained from Nilft was very high quality and high quantity. It may be said that the Goncourt family is now largely familiar with the current situation and weaknesses of the Bordolin family, including how the Bordolin family has connected to whom of the Goncourt family and what it once had in the town of Voca. Simply writing a single letter to Lord Bantaloy can make the Bordolins suffer fatal pain.

This is the biggest advantage of using the Truth Bell. Subjects found guilty of bells are allowed to be interrogated using any torture or mental magic or medication, in which case the temple will cooperate. And Nilft was a treasure trove of information. For the first time, the Goncourt family learned how trusted and heavily used Nilft was by Cassandra.

The Bordolins had to assume that all the information Nilft had was drawn to the Goncourt family when they found out that Nilft had been placed on the "Truth Bell". So no matter how much sacrifice he made, he tried to repair his relationship with the Goncourt family.

For more than the next decade, the Bordolins will not be able to turn against the Goncourt family. Time would reduce the risk of the information we get this time, but the day the Bordolins take the upper hand over the Goncourt family probably won't come forever in the future.

The Bordolins offered to pull a stamp from the business of the town of Voca, but said no to this. by Norma's dedication. Prado had no objection to this point either, as it is self-evident that it would be better to continue to do business on favourable terms here than to sever the relationship. However, care should be taken not to do anything strange in the shadows.

Kilik even said he could have the Goncourt and Bordolin family liaison stationed at the Bordolin family, if he liked. This means accepting the watchman. It was decided to reject the matter in the opinion of Norma.

"Do you mean to show your face again? If you show your face now, you can establish a power relationship."

"I don't want to be on the table."

"If I die and Norma takes over, no, but I'll be on the table."

"I mentioned that, too. Then, 'What are you talking about? The job will be done by you or your successor. I'm just in a position to be the Lord, and I don't do anything."

"I didn't make that promise"

"It is now."

In the Bordolin family, which received reports from the Knights Karodans, he seems to have taken a great interest in Norma and has twice sent messengers and offered to see him by the end of the next three months. But Norma insists and does not try to respond to "I think it would be inconvenient to greet those in other houses, as I am only nominally in a position to keep my Lord's seat until the adults after Dear Prado's death."

Not only the Bordolin family, the relatives of the Goncourt family, the other nobles of Voca and the major merchants have offered to see Norma, but Norma has not responded in any way. The only exceptions are Lords and Cheney.

You seem to have a good relationship with your lord. The other day, there was a sudden call from the lord, who stayed at the Lordship Hall for nearly twenty days while leaving Zinger in the Goncourt family. If you ask me later, I wouldn't be surprised if I said what a treat it was for Zach Zykers.

Cannell reports on his occasional business and asks for his opinion, but he also doesn't answer this at all.

"When I tried this, it was the last time you offered to leave a liaison from the Bordolin family. Norma advised me."

"Back then, my lord and I didn't really know what to do."

"That's right. It's an opportunity I don't even wish for. I guess Norma didn't know what she'd been up to, so she could easily think about it."

"Maybe so, but it was clear anyway. The first thing I asked you was if you had the kind of people you could put out to your liaison. Secondly, it was the proportion of our business that involved the Bordolin family. When I answered these two, I immediately had an answer." It's not enough to put valuable people into it. You should say no. "

"I still feel sorry for that."

"You said this afterwards. Sometimes it's more effective to give people anxiety that they don't know what they're looking at than to be satisfied with what they can see."

"Hmm. Things like I figured out"

"May I?"

"Findin, you may not ask permission to speak either. Anytime you want to say something. So, what?"

"After that, Master Norma said. The Bordolins, too."

"What? I don't think Cannell told me that."

"It seemed like a solitaire, and I didn't even think of it as a word that made so much sense. What did Findin feel about the words?

"Guess what, I think there are two. One is that Master Cassandra went out on the means of assassinating Master Dops and his lord. The method of assassinating the owner of another house, for example, is one that leaves a big lump after that. I wonder if the Bordolins are being hunted down enough to have to resort to such means"

"Being cornered means being cornered by what"

"I don't know that. Perhaps Norma will also understand. But if you're doing it this way, here and there, you can be stuck in every way."

"Hmm. What's the other one?"

"Master Nipedo and Master Kilik immediately retired Master Cassandra. The more you can do that, the weaker Cassandra's authority is, and even if you retire Cassandra, your real mother and great achievement, you can see clearly how you want to converge things."

"... Hmm. I see."

"I heard the phrase," The Bordolins aren't very luxurious. "
