Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

From Fried's mouth, after the name of the Duke of Pegegrini appeared, we followed the Wah Cafe and returned to the castle. The reason is simple. If you're talking about the Duke of Pegegrini, because you couldn't leave that son, Will and Glenn, unrelated.

That's why I went back to the castle, but Fried was doing Cain a favor before that.

Of course, after taking my word for it, apparently, he had something he really wanted to get.

"Cain, I'm sorry, but will you break into Count Villain's mansion and look for evidence that he was attending the masquerade? I think maybe there's a mask somewhere with a certificate of participation. I want immobile proof that he was meeting Abel at the masquerade."

At Fried's request, Cain became skeptical.

"If the princess doesn't mind, I'm fine, but, you know, the guy's already dead, right? Aren't they cleaning up their personal belongings?

"He died, and it's not even that time has passed. Even if it had been cleaned up, it is unlikely that it would have been abandoned"

Hearing the speculation, Cain said yes.

"Yeah...... ma, good though"

"Please. It's the quickest and surest way to get you to go. I know you're Liddy's escort..."

"You must protect the princess. I don't mind. Besides, if you're this far away, you'll be back for your purpose soon. It seems the princess is involved, and it's not stingy to cooperate."

"Sorry......"

With this kind of interaction, Cain decided to act separately from us.

Nevertheless, using Cain's secret technique means he'll be back in a few days, which doesn't seem to interfere with betting with Abel.

I also need to find out who Abel is replacing, but I can't let go of this Duke of Pegegrini issue either.

"In the end, it feels like you're swinging by Abel's souvenir..."

Everyone gathers in Fried's office.

In response to his call, Glenn and Will came.

"Your Highness, I asked for you..."

Fried nodded at Will's words and let everyone sit on the couch first. Me next to Fried. On the front couch, like my brother, Will and Glenn.

Where everyone is in a situation where they can calm down and listen, my brother explains what he's been talking about. Will and Glenn, having finished listening, were paling their complexions.

"No way, Father."

To Will's words, Glenn also nodded silently to indicate consent.

My brother looks at me with a subtle face.

"It's tremendous, I don't mean it, but in the end, if you think about it, it's still your handle this time. If you hadn't told me you were going to the masquerade, the Duke of Pegegrini wouldn't have come up with his name... haha... so why are you in the middle of the vortex before you know it"

"Even if they say so"

I have no intention of doing that here. Even this time, it's a total coincidence.

I tell both Will and Glenn even as my brother exhales.

"Will, Glenn, what I'm going to say now is that it's a general theory, right? Well, that's what the world thinks, that's what you're gonna ask."

To a foreboding brother, the two nod as they tilt their necks. After confirming it, my brother opened his mouth in large part.

"... it's a famous story that the Duke of Pegegrini hates my father, the Duke of Vivoir. You guys will know that very well. I don't doubt that guy's loyalty, either. His loyalty is real. So even this time, I didn't have his name on my list, and I don't think anyone imagined that he would betray Fried, the Kingdom of Wilhelm."

Everyone nodded. My brother keeps talking.

"But that's only what I've been talking about. What if the Duke of Pegegrini hates the Duke of Vivoir family but goes beyond his loyalty to the Wilhelm royal family? I'm sure the Duke didn't like that Liddy married Fried. He hates his daughter, she swears allegiance, and she's royal."

……

Nobody said anything.

"Nobody really knows how much he hates the Duke of Vivoir family. But this is not a zero chance, is it? That kind of line is really trivial to cross. What I've been accumulating in my stockpile and keeping at the critical point is decisive with just a few elements added. I think that's what happens. The Duke of Pegegrini was the caretaker when King Maximilian came to Wilhelm, and it's not like he has no relationship at all. It's easy to talk through. So. I want you to think again here. What is the purpose of Sahaja? Wilhelm and... let Fried tell you, it's Liddy. The daughter of the Duke of Vivoir family marries and instigates betrayal to the Duke, who would be disgusted with the royal family. And so I say. Instead, take your loathsome Princess Vivoir king here. If you try to be Duke of Pegegrini, the depressed Crown Princess will be gone. You'll be happy to cooperate, and if you take it to Sahaja, betrayal can be instigated, and Liddy can make you give it away, and the option of Duke Pegegrini is the best. Why didn't you think of it before, so much so? No, of course, until now, I don't care what you say, because there was no sign that you were going to betray me, so I don't know what."

……

My brother whispers that he has said what needs to be said.

Nobody said anything.

Freed, me, and Will and Glenn, sons of the Duke of Pegegrini, were silent.

I do not know what the Duke of Pegegrini thinks or what he thinks.

Even though I know he doesn't like my father, he didn't confuse public with private, and I know he's loyal, loyal.

But I also think what my brother said makes sense.

The moment you cross a certain line all the way, what you endured will decimate you.

Even my brother was very easy to understand. What if that was also happening to the Duke of Pegegrini?

Wouldn't Sahaja take that hand when he hung the invitation?

"... Still, I believe in the Duke of Pegegrini"

After a while, Fried opened his mouth. Everyone sees Ha and Freed.

"His loyalty is real. As much as I married Liddy, I don't think that would rock"

Hearing the answer Fried gave me, I smiled unexpectedly. That's how I give my opinion, too.

"Me too... I think the Duke of Pegegrini will be fine"

"What...!?"

My brother gazed at me.

"Yeah. 'Cause he, he treated me normally"

I recall talking to the Duke of Pegegrini in person not long ago. He took a decent attitude towards me then. There was nothing suspicious about that attitude, and that's what I thought.

He was delighted with Fried, and his loyalty to the king was felt a glimmer. I don't think that's a lie, and I don't want to.

So I'll tell you exactly.

"I don't know what Sahaja's thinking, but I guess he'd say no if I hung up on him."

That's my conclusion.

Will and Glenn, and my brother, who asked me and Fried for their opinions, became subtle faces.

First my brother says, scratching his head.

"I know you guys want to believe me... but I don't know that guy enough to be sure, like you guys, and I don't think there's a zero chance of betrayal,"

Will also said.

"Your Highness, Liddy. Me too, I'm sorry, but I agree with Alec. My father's hatred of the Duke of Vivoir is unusual. I can't deny Alec's opinion after all these years of actually watching it."

Glenn also agreed with his brother.

"Me too, is. Not very much, but I don't think 'it's okay' like the two of you. My father really hates the Duke of Vivoir... this is as much as I've always honestly worried that Liddy would marry Fried and my father would be okay. I say I can hang up on my indulgence bag, but how will I get out when my father, who was patiently overlapping with patience, is hung up by Sahaja? I can't assure you that I refuse to invite you."

"Right..."

I hear everyone's opinions and Fried snorts.

"I think we each have our own opinions. I won't deny it. But I also said I'd trust him, but I'm not saying I won't be on guard. I'm going to go report to Father now, and I'll see if the Marquis of Westin in Sahaja is approaching the Duke of Pejegrini. And I'm going to keep an eye on the Duke of Pegegrini for a while."

"Your Highness, if you mean watch, let me and Glenn do it."

Will raised his hand softly. Glenn sitting next to him nods too.

"We can't trust our father as much as His Highness. Even now, I wish that father might. That's why we want to identify it with our own eyes. What does my father think? If you need anything, Your Highness will be contacted as soon as possible with a message. So..."

"Okay. I'll leave you guys to it."

Fried accepted Will's suggestion. Will and Glenn thanked him for the different accents and got up quickly and just about.

"Return to Pegegrini's mansion. For a while, me and Glenn will always stay in the mansion. Do you mind?

"Oh."

Confirming that Fried nodded, the two briefly greeted their resignation, leaving early enough.

After the two of them left and the door closed, Fried told me and my brother.

"Shall we then go and report to your father? Alec, of course, but Liddy, come with me. Liddy's not irrelevant, and I'm more comfortable with you."

"Mmm, okay."

Nod at Fried's words and stand up.

Duke of Pejegrini that he may be being instigated to betray. I'm just like Fried, and he doesn't even think he's going to deal with him, but he doesn't agree with his sons.

In fact, I don't know what conclusion he would draw, but I wanted him not to imitate it sooner for his sons and for his own loyalty.
