Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

- Well, then, how will Sahaja set it up?

As I was about to discuss the matter again with Theon and the others, the office door was knocked.

That's a lot of rushing noise.

Once we had finished the conversation to a well-separated point, when we gave permission to enter, it was Bertrand who came in with the leader of the Knights of Primera. Dressed in his squad captain's clothes, he walked into the office with a bright blue face, and as soon as he found me, he knelt under his feet.

"Sorry! Your Highness! Permission to slay my sister, please! Please!

"... that's not a calm story. What happened all of a sudden? Bertrand."

I don't know why they apologize, and slay my sister, etc.

I tried to get him to stand up for now to hear more about what was going on, but Bertrand shook his head hard and now started rubbing his forehead against the ground.

"I'm so sorry. I apologize to His Highness... but I just found out about it. I'll tell you everything."

"... talk to me anyway"

I can't go on like this. Encouraging him to keep talking because he had no choice, Bertrand probably came from fear - he started talking with his body trembling.

"As I'm sure you know, I have a sister. I'm the fruit sister who split the blood. My sister -- she's been acting strange lately -- she had something like this."

"This is..."

What Bertrand has been offering is like a black turban. And it was a small white bag.

"This was placed earlier on my sister's room desk. What I found was a maid with a sister. There are no letters. Only these two were kept in sight."

"Hey, Fried... what's this?"

"Oh......"

Nodding at Alec, whose voice has changed.

I checked every inch of the black turban I received from Bertrand. At first glance, it is black but is something sewn in, and when you move it, it shimmers from time to time.

This special black turban.

Naturally Bertrand as well as I and Alec knew what this was.

"... one way to get across to the Sahaja Assassin's Guild."

"Yes."

When he gave the answer, Bertrand shook and affirmed his body again.

This, black turban. This is known as a way for customers to make contact with the Assassin Alliance in Sahaja.

the prescribed (not necessarily turban. Things seem different depending on the assassin guild) wrap around the branches of the mansion tree. Then the Alliance will contact you to find out where you're coming from.

No one tries it with half a joke. Because if you do that, they'll take your life for plotting an Alliance. I only use what I really need for my guild. That was common sense within Sahaja.

But that's the only thing in Wilhelm that knows about it, such as me, Alec, and the Knights Commander like Bertrand, who have a high status or position.

And yet, how could his sister?

The strangest thing is that what his sister had was a 'black turban'.

The black turban is particularly known as a way to cross with the famous assassin guild 'Black'. It's not like asking a mere assassin's guild. That price, and the price you pay when you betray.

Bertrand spoke desperately.

"Neither did I think it was real when the maid gave it to me. That it would be a mere coincidence. My sister doesn't know anything about Sahaja. But lately, Master Alexei has just told me that if Sahaja is making a suspicious move, it could be a battle soon. I didn't think so, so I checked and saw the other bag that I left in half of the joke. And then..."

Take Bertrand's gaze and check the contents of the bag. There was Madeleine and Financière in there.

"Confectionery?

"It's not just a treat. It's not made in our kitchen, of course. Naturally it's not even what they sell in the city. I had the sorcerer we hired look into it, and it had -- it had pills planted to prune consciousness."

"Huh!"

Alec opened his eyes wide.

Bertrand tells him to sue.

"It's a specially formulated special medicine. There's no way my sister can get this stuff by herself. And how my sister has been lately. I spoke to my maid. I tend to block it here, in the room, and it seemed like I was crying a lot on my own. Looks like the maids were just watching how things were going to stay calm because of the complicated times, but maybe..."

Black turban and medicated confectionery placed silently. The fact that I was crying for a pull.

From there I can think of...

A quiet voice echoes the scene.

"That turban. It must belong to the Assassin's Guild of Sahaja. And your sister is being forced to cooperate in some sort of plot. Forced to do that too. I didn't say anything, I didn't leave it, I just couldn't tell him that I left things behind. I guess even some vow of silence is forcing me. Still, I wanted you to notice and left something to hint at... Looks like it would be a good idea to judge that from the circumstances. What the hell is she being made to do, though that's the problem"

What Theon said was the same as I thought.

And I realize there is.

A few days ago, who would Liddy have said he would invite for a tea party?

I thought you said that with the Marquis Marquis de Lowe.

What was in the confectionery was a medicine to prune consciousness. This was often used for kidnapping, etc.

I found myself changing my complexion.

"... Bertrand. One, ask. Your sister, put it down... where you headed"

My voice was plundering.

To my inquiry, Bertrand fell further down and said:

"Dear Lydiana... I'm at the Lady Dowager's. Yesterday, my sister said she was going to Royal Castle tomorrow because she was invited by the Lady Dowager. So that's why I came here because I realized it! My sister wanted to go to the tea party earlier. This is no longer a joke. But now we might still make it. Before my sister does something stupid - please stop. And let me slash my stupid sister with this hand - please! That's what I came to ask for! My sister - where is Master Lydiana!

"Chickshaw! Freed! Where is Liddy having a tea party!!"

Alec, who understood the situation, shouted, but by then I had already let the three of them go and ran out towards the door.

"Oh, hey! Wait, Freed! We're going, too!

"Follow me on your own!

Discard that to Alec and leave the room.

"So, Your Highness!?"

The Kingsguards, who were by both sides of the door, looked surprised but ignored. I don't have time to talk about things.

It's not that far from here where Liddy's having a tea party.

It was my mistake to be cautious of Cain, but also cautioned him because he was nearby and because he was in a royal neighborhood. I could have predicted that Liddy would be targeted.

"Liddy......!

It's okay. We haven't heard from Liddy's Wang Hua yet.

If Liddy feels dangerous and calls me, Wang Hua should react.

So you should be safe. Liddy's safe and should be fine.

Even though I think so, my heart makes a nasty noise.

Anxious, the world is about to flip around.

It hurts so my chest can be tightened.

The only one I can love. I just wish something had happened to her, and a black violent destructive urge boils up in my heart.

- Tell Liddy to do something about my connection. I will never forgive you.

But please, I don't want anything to happen.

I want you to be worried.

- I want you to make it.

That thought alone drove me all the way down the hall.
