When I went back to the Sullies' mansion, what a lady waiting for me in the front hall. Sometimes, let me carry the table there and read the book while I have tea... no, no, what if there was a sudden visitor or something!? It was like that.

"Reggie, you're back!

I couldn't even pay attention to the welcome that would make me fantasize about the dog's tail shaking all over the mess behind it... You'll be angry if the Count finds out about this. Say, "It can't be." "You've been much liked by my daughter (second time)" must come next.

Anyway, I moved into my room with my daughter. Of course, let me remove the table on the front porch.

"So... what happened at St. Royal Palace?

"Do you care?

"Naturally! Reggie is mine..."

The lady I was about to tell you was out of her sight.

"Yes, it's an important escort."

Ma'am, I'm having trouble taking care of my escort. No, it's better than being made crude.

"You weren't here that long, and you weren't asked about the giant snake. Oh, once I get one Holy Gold coin for yesterday's feat. More than that, His Holiness seems to be busy with the Riviere family."

The "covenant" or "the world behind" will be spoken of by the Count in person if he deems it necessary. Old Hinga —— I didn't think I'd be able to talk about Mr. Lulusha right away after all that crap yesterday.

Just a little more time.

"The Riviere family......?

"Yes."

It would be fine to talk about it, so I talked to my daughter about it, including how it went so far. For once, everything I know.

…………

The lady frowned and contemplated the adorable frown.

"... Reggie"

Somewhat, the lady said.

"... can you hear my thoughts (...)?

The lady's expression was blue —— I'll know why in a few minutes.

The lady, she was still the lady.

I was born with your blood - although I hated it in person - and I was given knowledge, above all in a spirit of openness and justice.

Even if that could (...) hurt my father.

A little during the day, I checked the surrounding conditions from the top of the roof, but nothing like a coup has happened. I thought it was too quiet and scary. [M]

It was not until rather late at night that the Count returned home.

The Count narrowed his cleavage eyes to the fact that not only I, but even the lady, awaited the return of the Count.

"... what do you mean?

"Welcome home first, Father"

"Thank you, Eva. I used a little nerve today after lack of sleep, so I was hoping to get some sleep soon... it doesn't seem like it"

"I know your father is tired, but I really need to make sure."

"Okay. Sebastian, you need to hang out a little bit more."

"Ha..."

Deacon (Sebastian) mocked me. [M] Because it is this man who imitates the health of the Count, even if he is on his side, who does not condone it.

The maids and other butlers who were in the front hall looked obvious —— I'm surprised by this pressing air because I haven't explained anything to them.

"And just so Captain Maxim is present, please."

"Ha."

Captain Maxim, who had climbed the agency with the Earl's escort, was also to come.

Then the Count's private room was small and we headed to the reception room for visitors.

It was the Count and the Lady who sat on the couch opposite each other, the Deacon and Captain Maxim behind the Count, and I stand behind the Lady. I see, the Count seems visibly exhausted —— but this one also thinks that we can't (...) postpone this story even one day (...).

Because I don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

"Father, what happened to the Riviere family?

…………

The Count looks at me obliquely behind the lady.

(Am I right? I taught you that, didn't I? But isn't this information even if the lady knows)

It was only a matter of time before he was doing so, and the Count said this as if nothing had happened.

"The suspected assassination attempt of Master Kruvschlat, as well as the crime of acquiring a cleric involved in the 'One Day Altar' and sidelining a starry talented pearl, led the Riviere family to be placed under the control of His Holiness the Holy King. The owner of that house resisted to the end and tried to follow other Duke houses, but the search for your mansion resulted in evidence of a cleric takeover. You can no longer escape words. Giant snakes. Various. Well, if the Knights of the Holy Kings hadn't crusaded me early, the damage would have spread and it might not have been at the Riviere's."

"... the Knights crusade?

Some of the words caught me. [M]

"Yes, that's what I hear… the Knights are now receiving the remains of giant snakes"

Really? I wonder if the Adventurer Guild lost the fight with the Knights.

"... anything, Mr. Reggie?

I shook my head silently. [M] I'm not making the Uroboros thing a problem right now.

Then the lady,

"Father, it is a separate case with regard to two things: 'Attempted assassination of Master Kruvschlatt' and 'Sidewalk of a gifted pearl'"

"... that's right. But that's it?

"It means the mastermind is different, too. Your father used two words unconsciously:" Suspected assassination attempt (...) "and" Sin of lying a gifted pearl (...) ".

At this time —— for the first time, agitation appeared on the Count's face.

My eyes were opened.

"If you listen unconsciously to anything, you'll think of it as something the Riviere family went along with. That the culprit poisoned Master Kruvschlat's sauce dish was found dead and found in the Riviere family. And as a result (...), the fact that the investigation's hands are in and evidence of a cleric takeover is found...... all the more so because these two are connected. But the two cases are different, and I think they had nothing to do with it."

The lady speaks pale. It seemed to put emotions on words.

"Your father knew that Master Kruvschlat's attempted assassination was not at the hands of the Riviere family (...), right? So I unconsciously became the word 'suspicious'. Because your father (...) is the mastermind behind the attempted poisoning (...)"
