Holy Royal Palace

"I didn't know there was such a building....."

The Count Sirius sighs unexpectedly from his mouth.

As an aristocrat, I thought I knew the St. Royal Palace very well, as I worked close to the St. Royal Palace called the Altar Administration, but there seemed to be many places he didn't know.

The building was hidden in lush trees, like a warehouse and a dwelling.Weapons and magic equipment were destroyed, and there were large quantities of items such as strategic maps and food stockpiles.

Count Sireese has been ordered to sleep here by the Duke of Glengeed, so he is unable to communicate with the outside world.

The outside of the window sank in the darkness of the night, and I could not see anything.

Though the Duke of Glenlivet thought he would not do anything to her daughter, the Virgin Queen, he did not actually confirm it.

"Anyway, if we don't finish the plan... this is a great place to concentrate and organize the paperwork."

All the documents on the large table related to the "Goddess Temple Construction Project".

Count Siries was supposed to plan how to build the temple while controlling the supplies of the Holy King's City and the supplies everywhere.

There were various opinions that the funds would be pulled from other countries or raised from this year's budget, but even if there was money, the business could not proceed without it.The Duke of Glengeed seems to be leaving the essence of the plan to Count Siries.

"... how is Eva these days?"

But the Count had a lot of concerns.

About my daughter.

About this country.

King Geffelt of the Keesgrain Federation, who lost touch with him.

About the Mansion.

The world will go crazy.

And that you're in charge of that stick.

"Hmm...."

I have a headache, but the Duke of Glengeed has already run away.

I've come to a point where I can't turn back anymore.

I have no choice but to do the work assigned to me.

On top of that--

Count Siries.



Speaking out, the calm Count noticed an unfamiliar person standing in the corner of the room.

"Are you....."

The figure with the hood off was a small man.I can only see around my eyes because I wear a mask around my mouth.

"From King Geffelt."

"... I see. Is it because you lost contact with me?"

"Because there's chaos in this country."

The coup has already been communicated to the heads of state.

"What did King Geffelt do to me?"

The Count was alert.

The Holy Royal Palace is located in the deepest part of the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan, and the level of security is the highest.

That's why this man is here.

(Pretty clever... no, it's probably the best spy King Geffelt has.)

I hope so, detective.

(... and the possibility of an assassin)

In that case, the target is me.

If the Duke of Glengeed knew that he had been in contact with King Geffeldo, he would be furious, and his anger would not only go to the Count, but also to King Geffeldo.

If you kill the Count, you won't be exposed - King Geffeldt is the one who thinks so.

"... my lord, King Geffelt, is in danger.I wonder if your mouth will leak any extra words. "

"Don't worry about that.The Duke of Glengeed has entrusted me with an important matter.This must be a sign of trust. "

"The Duke doesn't suspect you?"

"Yes"

I'm sure it will work.

"... what do you mean?"

The Count deepens his vigilance with a profound word.

Do you have any idea what the Duke of Glenlivet is doing?

…………

I'm searching your house.



The Count's expression was too strong to be surprised.

"--You abandoned by the Duke will stand in the way of King Geffelt.I want you to die here. "

A man who pulled a dagger out of his pocket kicked the floor and approached the Count.

"Wait, I..."

"Get out of my way!"

The Count, who was thrown aside, saw another person standing in his place, his pulled blade and the man's blade colliding and sparks flying.

"Who?"

"That's my line!"

She looked very similar to a man, but she (...) was taller and had a rat on her head when the hood came off.

Count Sirius knows her.

A scolded adventurer at the "Silver Balance" party.

The boy on whom the Count relied, the adventurer who was acting with Reggie.

Now I'm supposed to be acting with my daughter Eva —— Zelly.

If I disturb you, I'll kill you.

"Ha! I'm going to kill you anyway, because you saw me!"

…………

Zelly took the blade and tried to dodge it.

But the man was obviously better, and Zeli had several injuries on her body in no time.

We have to stop it.

But Count Siries has no power.

If so,

"Somebody! Bandits are getting mixed up!!"

I raised my voice towards the outside of the window.

"Chi"

"Hey, Count, I'm going to get my servant-- Fufu."

The man who kicked Zelly in the stomach and distanced himself approached the window.

"... the Count is coming again"

That's how he pops out--out.

"You're kidding."

I called out to the back.

The man had missed the sparkle and the magic in the Count's eyes.

!!

"In the future, the security level will rise beyond our control.If that happens, you won't reach me anymore... and you're lying that my house is being searched? "

"What are you talking about? It's true.It wasn't a big deal to stop me-- I heard it was a shard. "

The man left to fly.The Count pushed Zelly into a nearby shelf, and the guards who jumped in instead chased him.With all the footprints left, the guards quickly believed them and left.

"Hmm... it's okay to come out now."

"Yah, yah, yah.What is it, him?I almost died. "

"I'm sorry. But thank you...The guards are following us, but we don't have much time, so let's talk briefly-- Eva is in the Holy King's City, right? "

Zelly nodded.

"Miss Eva heard a message from the Count, but she's staying."

"... I see. Did you say why?"

"Yes. 'Your father couldn't help but obey the Duke.I should think of a way to get behind the Duke. "

The Count blinked.

And then...

"Fu... fufufu. Fufufufu.That's my daughter. "

"Why is your daughter right?"

"Yes, I think I have to do what I can.The success rate is not so high..... "

"Well, that's great. I'm sorry if I'm going to die.That's right, the guy just now..... "

"I'm upset too... but I'm fine.The lie was discovered, and even if you failed to take me down, you made me suspicious and nailed the Duke so he wouldn't sell me information. "

The Count used the "magic of the trial."

It is also a lie that we are searching for the Earl's Mansion.

It's a lie to come again - at least if you feel like it, the man must have decided it's hard to sneak in.

This ability is known to the higher aristocracy of the Holy King, but I don't know if Zeli or the man earlier knows it.

"Zelly, please leave as soon as possible.The security here will be even tighter. "

"Uh-huh. Even though I've had a lot of trouble with my maid, it's getting tougher."

Clear ears make the outside noisy.

Soon enough, there will be plenty of people at the Count's.

"Well, Count, finally... we can move too, so don't give up hope."

"Moving? Eva?"

"Hey, uh, I'm an adventurer (...) too. Bye."

Jumping over the window frame, Zelly's body melted into darkness and quickly disappeared.

"... are the adventurers moving too?"

The Count bowed his head.

The Duke of Glenlivet

"An intruder?"

The captain of the guard, seen with the fierce eyes of the Duke of Glenguide, trembled.

The report came right after the sunrise, when Glenzide woke up.

"Yes, it seems Count Siries was targeted, but thanks to the Count's loud voice, our guards rushed and got away with it."

"Stupid bastard!"

Hiii

"It will be a big problem to be broken even inside the Holy Royal Palace!!"

"I'm sorry about that...."

The murmur came from the collapse of the silver cup held by the Duke of Glenguide.Containing water sprays out and pink water stains the table due to bleeding from metal injuries.

"... is Victor safe?"

Eh?

I'm asking if Count Siries is safe.

"But, of course -- oh, no, I got a little hurt when I met the intruder."

…………

"Let me, Your Holiness?"

The captain saw Glenguide standing up without saying anything, but he left the room without saying anything.

Heading towards the building where Count Siries is.

"Victor"

"! This is... Your Majesty, I'm sorry for showing you such an ugly thing."

In a murderous room, Count Sireese, who had been treated by the priest with Healing Magic , was naked on his upper body.

Although it was recovered by magic, the area where the wound was found is still red.

As a matter of fact, this was something the Count put on himself.Zelly fought the man when she was hurt and bled.Soldiers came before I wiped it, so I hurriedly cut my arm with a knife.

"Have you had a good time?As for the progress of the plan... I'm sorry, I was unable to do much yesterday due to a suspicious intrusion. "

"Rest."

"... what?"

"Rest today. Your body is important."

The Count thought I heard it wrong.

The word "goddess" was supposed to occupy Glenzide's head, and he didn't have to worry about his body.

He checked with "The Magic of the Trial", but Glenjid didn't tell a lie.

"Double the security here.Rest assured. "

"Hah, hah... okay."

Blood is dripping from the hand of the grenade.

"Your Majesty, keep your hands hurt."

"Ah?... oh, it's not such a big deal."

"Let's treat him."

The priest who came for the Count now uses Healing Magic on the Grenzid.

"... Your Majesty, you haven't slept well lately.You can't do this. "

"I know."

Glenjid answered with a bitter face, but it was also a first for the Count that he was insomnia.

(... are you suffering?)

Ha, and the Count came to mind.

(Deporting my daughter and returning to the throne of the Holy King would be a major stress.In addition, his ally Uncle Muir also left the Holy King's Capital....)

He clashed many times with the Border Guard, who only talked about the goddess, and finally became like a fight goodbye, and the Border Guard returned to the territory with his daughter Mira.

Bordering Uncle thought he would never banish his daughter, but when Bordering Uncle disappeared, the Glenzide became more and more rampant.

In the meantime, only Count Siries has been around from the beginning.

(Perhaps, perhaps… Your Majesty has a chance to return to sanity)

The tag "blind faith" comes off due to insomnia and stress.

How can I draw out my sanity?

What do I do?

"Your Majesty, Your Holiness."

There's a beacon coming through.

"It's an emergency message!Monsters appear to have occurred in the Holy King's City of "Block 5," "Block 6," and "Block 7."

"... what? The Monster of World Combination must have been exterminated."

"But there seems to be something left behind....."

"Shit, how's the response going?"

"There are security guards coming out of the Holy King's City, but it's not wide enough and my hands are not turning.If the knight could move, it would still be..... "

"... the knight will only move once he knows what's going on."

"Ha, ha. Now the Adventurer Alliance is on its own."

The Count was happy with the word "adventurer," but Glenjid didn't notice.

"Very well. The Adventurer Alliance will be the best match for the monster.You can spend your money, move your guild. "

Ha!

The beacon is returning.

"... Victor, I'm sorry I said rest..."

"I know. Break bones for cause finding and problem solving."

"Please."

The hand wound glazed and opened, but the priest said, "Please wrap your bandage for a while" and walked out ignoring it.

The Count, wearing his jacket in a hurry, also walked about it.

The forest with its clean air in the morning was quiet itself, but the Count of Sirius couldn't help but notice what was going on in the city - all the more so if it was some sort of "trick" Eva had devised.

1st Sanctuary Grand Conference Room

There were only five nobles who responded to the call early in the morning.There are only four of them looking at Count Siries.This is not funny because it is the heart of the current grandeur (...).

At a time when the king has just taken over, it is only natural that he should be ready to respond immediately.

"... report back on the incident."

Without trying to hide the mood, the Captain of the Guard of the Holy King's City salutes.

The monster appeared in the middle of the night.

There is an unused underground water supply and it seems to have come out of there.

The Adventurer Alliance responded to the damage, which was frequent at the same time, but the city was confused.

"Hmm... groundwater. What do you think, Victor?"

"... hah, no wonder we overlooked it.But I don't think there are many monsters. "

"I agree. How about you guys?"

When the Glenguide turned to the water, the remaining four nobles smiled and said, "That's right."

"Now I'd like to investigate the area around the groundwater supply where the monster appeared."

"Oh, yeah, don't move the knight.That was an unexpectedly quick problem. "

The Count Siries looked suspicious behind Glenlivet, who smiled relieved.

(Monsters appeared... that's all?So what can you do, Eva?)

Count Sireese said it was obviously Eva's fault when the monster appeared at this time, but he doesn't know what it was.

When there was some confusion, there was no effect on the Palace.

"... what's wrong, Victor? There's something that bothers you."

"No, Your Majesty, that's not true."

"Hmm, you're right.Would you like to look into it a little more? "

The other nobles glanced at each other openly - their cheeks said, "I want to go home and go to bed soon" - and the guard captain melted.

"Now... can you give me some more information, Captain?"

"Ha, ha. What kind of information?"

"Where is it coming from?"

On the map of the Holy King's City spread out on the table, the captain places five beast tokens made of shredded sandalwood.The monster appears to be everywhere downtown.

Even if you show up late at night, you won't be able to set up a guard right away.

That's what Sirie thought.

What kind of monsters are there?

"Yes, there are reports of charcoal wolf, pyrotechnic lizards (baby salamanders), and camouflage snakes (mirage vipers)."

"The adventurers took them down."

Ha.

"I see... I see."

Count Siries said.

"What do you know, Victor?"

"Ah, no... if it's a monster that originally inhabited the groundwater supply, it's probably an aquatic creature, but if it's a monster that has nothing to do with seeing it, it's still caused by the 'world bond'."

Hmm.

Jeez, Glenzide stares at the Count.

"... what, Your Majesty?"

"What do you think happened last night at the same time?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I felt artificial, but it doesn't make sense on this scale to disrupt the Holy King's City, and it's not very realistic to catch and release monsters that inhabit nature.If you're just going to hunt monsters, you can't bring them into the Holy King's City. "

"... well, yeah."

I didn't seem perfectly convinced, but Glenzide didn't pursue it any further.

The meeting was called to order because a follow-up survey would be conducted on the groundwater supply.

…………

Glenjid was alone in the conference room staring at the map of the Holy King's City.

"... I don't know if it's Victor."

Glenzied has full confidence in Count Sireese.His thoughts have been saved and surprised many times before.

If he gets caught up in something like today, digging into it will reveal new factual aspects - not much was achieved today alone.

"Am I caring too much?Or is Victor tired... of being attacked last night.No, is that how upset that Victor is?Hey, is anybody there?

When I called outside the window,

Ha.

Then a man came out of the shadow of the tree.

He is wearing a guard uniform, but it is the dark part used by the House of the Holy King.

"Is it true that Victor didn't do anything weird?"

"Yes. Last night's raid was unexpected, but he disappeared before we could track him down... I'm sorry."

The Count has put "full trust" in his abilities, so he has him under surveillance.

But the palace of the Holy King, who had prepared everything himself, was weak.

I had a headache with Glenn Geed because he was stuck there.

"I'm not blaming you for that.Who are the enemies? I wonder what the purpose is. "

"... we are not allowed to speculate"

"Tell me, there's something only you know.The path of snakes is called snakes. "

"... if that's all you have to say, I will.According to those who have seen a faint sight, the enemy is quite skilled and there is one in the darkness of our House of the Holy King. "

Not really.

"Yes, my footsteps have disappeared perfectly."

"Then... someone like you.In other words, the darkness that the royal family has. "

The man then went into the shade and disappeared as Glenjid waved his hand.

"... why are other countries after Victor?You're telling me Viktor knows it's the new administration, not me?Or... did Victor communicate with other countries? "

Looking at the map of the Holy King's City, all there is is a shining beast token.

"That's not true. I checked Victor's background.Of course, Victor might have been able to cut my eyes..... "

I want to make every effort because my abilities are exhausted.

"Damn, I can't figure it out. Why?My head should have been a little more decent.... "

When I think about the goddess, my thoughts are clear like a clear lake, but everything else seems to have been lost.

"Goddess...."

And then Glenjid noticed the map.

The beasts were in downtown, but they were all close to the cathedral.

All of this is now being renovated to become a goddess shrine.

"... the target is the temple...!?"

Cut, there's blood on my head.

The monsters just appeared nearby, and there's nothing logical about it.

But Glenjid intuited that this was the answer.

"Hey, somebody! Call Victor--"

I almost said it and shut my mouth.

"... Victor missed this?Do you have any information that an incident has occurred near the goddess's temple? "

A waiter came into the conference room.

May I help you, Your Majesty?

Hang on a second.

Glenzied thinks.

(Victor didn't dare tell me?There's no way he won't notice)

There is an unusual level of trust that the Count will notice as much as he does.

Then why didn't you tell me?Because you said it wasn't that big a deal?Or were you going to wait for the groundwater survey?Both are possible. But... what if he was about to rebel?)

Once you become a skeptical ghost, you don't stop.

"... I've made up my mind"

When I did, Glenzide laughed.

"Call Count Siries. Together with the Count, I will visit the place where the incident occurred last night and the temple under renovation!"
