The Count said he woke up, so I went out for a late breakfast. The lady is still asleep, so I have free time. [M]
The bread I just baked this morning has a buttery aroma and looks delicious. The Earl is eating with cokemomo jam applied. Do people who use their heads want sugar, and the Count drinks more honey in his morning tea as well?
You're supposed to be consuming quite a bit of sugar, but the Count has no indication of fattening at all.
"--Mr. Reggie, were you there"
The Count seemed surprised at me for walking into the dining room.
"I'm here. You're going to St. Royal Palace at noon, right?
When I answered, the Count opened his eyes and then glanced at the deacon beside him. I guess that means the deacon knows the circumstances to some extent as well.
"Count, how are you feeling?"
"Far from full, but not in enough circumstances to sleep in bed right now,"
When the Count had just finished his meal, he became familiar. It will be an hour until noon and we will be ready to leave.
"Reggie!"
When the Count and I joined each other on the doorstep of the mansion, a lady appeared from the upstairs hallway of the blowout. Although the lady seems to be awake, her clothes are changed and her hair is easily passed through. You can't come out in a pajama, it's nobility, right?
"Lady, are you awake?"
"Reggie, where are you going?
The lady's eyes shaking anxiously as she came down the stairs.
"We will head to St. Royal Palace with the Count. I'm going to do a report on yesterday's ending."
"Ah..."
"I fought the giant snake after that, so we have to talk about it."
The lady nodded small when I told her everything ahead of time with the meaning that it was not about the "Encouragement Eye" and the Louis boy.
"Well... that's very important."
"Yes, ma'am, please come to the mansion today."
"Yep..."
"Eva, you have nothing to worry about. I serve as a nobleman, and Mr. Reggie serves only as an escort."
"... yes, I get it"
"Good boy."
The Earl said to lighten the lady's head,
"Let's go"
"Yes."
He left the mansion with me. [M]
Looking back, a lady dropped this one off at the front door forever.
"... that's what my daughter liked, Mr. Reggie"
When I got in the carriage, they said that. There's a deacon on the side, so stop talking about what's hard to talk about, Count.
When the carriage carrying us entered the 1st Sanctuary, the atmosphere suddenly became obscure.
"How far, Lord Sullies?
Shortly after I came in, the Knights of the Holy King stopped me. Barricades by fences are even arranged to prevent carriages from passing through.
Count Sullies should almost be able to pass by facepath —— although naturally because he climbs into the office every day and works —— and this is how he gets picked up today.
"To St. Royal Palace. Your majesty is calling me."
"… please wait a moment"
The Knights of the Holy Kings are beginning to confirm something.
When I looked out the open carriage window, there were knights everywhere, and I usually didn't see any official officers who were supposed to be coming for work.
"I got confirmation. Come back here when you have business at St. Royal Palace."
Permission is given, and the carriage moves on.
"… Count. Is this affecting the House of the Duke of Riviere?
"Yes, we have all been ordered to wait at your mansion in the 2nd Sanctuary, starting with the Riviere family lord, but it appears that the houses on the fringe with the Riviere family are collecting gestures. They say," In self-defense. "
"Isn't that like saying you're suspicious yourself? Or are you allowed to gather troops?
"If they say 'self-defense', you have no choice. Plus the Riviere family is the Duke's house...... fortunately the territory of the Riviere family is quite far from the Holy King's capital, so it would mean that there are few troops here. Many connected aristocrats have been captured."
"Huh?"
"--Oh, didn't you tell Mr. Reggie? A faction of the Riviere family was involved in the" Altar of the Day "talent."
That's how Count Sullies was also to be called "Lord Cold Blood". The Count suspected, investigated and sent many nobles to the execution bench that the gifted pearls emerging from the "day altar" were being secretly plucked and sidelined by the nobles…
(The faction of the Riviere family was involved in it...? Furthermore, the Riviere family planned the assassination of Master Kruvschlat...?
I kind of felt like I was going to do it again. I wonder what it is. I think I'm missing something...
"You will enter the Holy Royal Palace."
Happy with the Count's words.
The easier it is to enter the Holy King's Palace, given the investigation in the 1st Sanctuary. This one, Count because few people come to visit in the first place, or I guess everyone knew I was coming.
When I get out of the carriage, only two people, me and the Count, enter the palace from the liberating entrance.
The stone palace, by the way, has waterways and quiet water sounds are always heard. The wooden doors, like the old Japanese architecture, were the entrance to each room, and the wooden doors were painted pale water —— holy water.
A large table and chair were placed in the middle of a room that could be described as a murderous landscape.
"It must be a qualitative room."
"Right, right"
"The Holy King's family is taking over the old way of life."
"I see... that sounds inconvenient"
"It must be extremely inconvenient."
Being born a king doesn't mean you can be extravagant...
A few minutes to sit and wait, the Holy King appeared with one cleric and Mr. Elle the High Priest.
"I thought you weren't coming-- oh, okay. Have a seat."
When me and the Count take their seats and grace, the Holy King just sits in the chair, saying so. I sat in the chair and wondered what was going on over there.
The Holy King had gotten so old in the past day that he wondered if he had. Blurry things and majesty as a king are the same, but I also feel like I'm energetic somewhere.
Mr. Elle the rabbit and the cleric are holding back. I honestly don't really know what the rabbit looks like.
"Well, first of all, you said Reggie, the guard of the Sullies"
"Yes."
"Thank you, I appreciate your work"
It was a candid word. But...
"No, I acted in accordance with a contract with the Sullies."
I didn't work for this guy.
"... that's what you say when you move only for the Count (Viktor), right?
"Precisely for the lady. Here, I'll pay you back."
I gave him the knife I was sneaking in my chest pocket. [M] That said, I didn't have a body check or anything until I got here, but is it okay with security or something? You mean so much trust in the Count by now?
"... well. Hey, put this back in the vault."
When one of the clerics nodded, he left the room with a knife.
"Even if your actions were for the Count's house, the content was for the nation. I want to talk about my reward for you."
"Yes."
"First we praise yesterday's courageous action and present one sacred gold coin"
1 sacred gold coin. It's worth about 5 million yen. I don't know, I have this feeling and I wonder if my annual salary is less than three holy gold coins.
"... what, you look like 'less'?
"Yes, no, that's not..."
"Are you paying so much, Viktor?"
"Excellent people deserve a high reward, Your Majesty."
"Chip. That's why I told you to go higher. However, the cashier is reluctant... if you look at the past with even one sacred gold coin, you will behave in large measure."
"Never before has there been such a big incident in the Holy King's capital. If it worked in the war, it would be a different story."
The Holy King looked more and more bitter when the Count said that and returned it.
No, right? I also think, "I don't know." Aren't you feeling like I'm greedy?
"For now, the reward is a reward, take it"
"Absolutely."
I don't have any problems with money.
"And I'm going to another meeting. I'll leave the rest of the story to El."
"... Really?
When the Count groaned, the Holy King nodded with a bitter face.
"I guess I have to tell you about the Riviere family. We also collect our children, royalty, and other duke houses. Viktor, you come with me."
"But --"
"Come."
"... Ha. Mr. Reggie, I'm sorry, but this is what I'm talking about, so I don't think it's a problem to go home."
"It's okay."
Mr. El is somewhat more comfortable with the Holy King than talking to him about this.
Or as the Holy King, aren't you very alert about me? Or do you think I'm on your side while Count Sullies is here?
On a glance, the Count looked complicated. This is like a rush due to my reading being off. I guess that means you didn't tell the Holy King so accurately about me.
"Oh, Reggie and I did. Unique."
said the Holy King as he stood up.
"Let me make a contract magic about this story. Think of it like confidentiality."
Coming, I thought. It's still contract magic.
