And two days later, we finally arrive at the scene.

In front of you, you can see several carriages approached by the highway.

"straight!"

Sabine-chan exposes his hand with confidence.

"One pair ..."

Colette puts the card on the table for throwing.

And, I…….

"A strange flash!"

Yes, it's a stronger flash than a straight, with five identical cards. “Squeeze” was gaining momentum. I do not regret.

Flash seems to be easier to align than a straight, but it is stronger than a straight. Of course, than three cards.

won!

I thought so, and the voice hung over me laughed.

"It's a full house!"

Yeah yeah yeah!

"Get it!"

The voice of the princess's victory, echoing inside the carriage.

... I ’m sorry!

"Arrive!"

"Wear the Earl's carriage!"

The princess changes faces and voices in an instant and gives instructions to the Lord.

……I'm scared!

Ordinarily, the two days spent alone with the Highness Princess and the place where the side officer and the maid ride together. It seemed to be a fun two days for Her Highness, but we were told that, um ... it was fun, so no.

The princess, who thought she was almost broken, returned when she arrived.

Then, when the carriage stops, allow time for the escorts to jump out of the horse and other carriages before leaving the carriage. Of course, it is the role that we, the lower ranks, get down first and check the safety. After that, Her Imperial Highness descends.

Ministers, influential nobles, and senior military officials who got off other carriages also gathered around the Princess.

"Where are the missions?"

"I'm here, Princess Remia!"

The voice of Her Highness returned immediately. At the same time, Countess Covemain, the head of the mission, descended from the most luxurious carriage of the mission.

"Oh, Earl, it looks like it's safe, it's more than anything else! I've been terrified, but that's just a superposition ..."

Her Royal Highness worked with the Earl.

In this case, we can't just say apology, even if we put words of effort. This is only the work of bandits, and bandits are stateless, do not pay taxes to this country, and may have come from other countries. However, if the princess apologizes here, it would mean that the state had acknowledged the matter as its own responsibility, which would be a major political weakness.

So it is unfortunate that this is an unfortunate event and has nothing to do with the country.

"That's the damage! Did the pirates escape to wherever!"

The Highness Princess asked her so, and the Earl said to her smiling.

"We have no human or physical damage, and the bandits are devastating and capturing prisoners. Hey, bring me!"

The Earl ordered the escort in the rear, and soon three bandits tied up were brought in.

"""""e……"""""

People around the princess who involuntarily utter their voices and turn pale.

That is the case. You can tell by looking.

While wearing old clothes, although it grew a little in two days, a short beard that would have been shaved at the time of the attack. Hair trimmed. And matching swords and boots.

The swords and boots, which are expensive even if the clothes are changed and which cannot be relied on unless they are familiar, probably used the usual ones. Probably, I don't know if someone from another country was upset.

However, it was obvious at a glance from the palace officials and military personnel in their own country.

((((((My army, military ...)))))

"Take this prisoner back to our country, torture it and vomit it all. I'll teach you all the information you vomit, so I'd like to use it to eradicate the bandits."

According to Earl's words, everyone in the country was upset, but there were a few who were particularly upset.

"However, I can't trust what the bandits say! I should kill you now!"

One of the Ministers suddenly began to argue.

"Yes, I don't know when to run away and become a bandit and kill a person! It's best to kill here!"

While saying, several military officials are trying to pull out the sword. And before that, the escort guards are standing by.

Because the POWs are behind the Earl, it is a matter of course because military personnel from other countries are ready to pull their swords toward the Earl, the mission chief.

"stop it!"

Her Royal Highness resents a resounding voice, and the high-ranking military officials, who are staring at her and others with blame, have fallen reluctantly.

"What is it about trying to pull a sword to the envoys of another country! Moreover, the treatment of the pirates is based on the judgment of the captors. ......

Are you going to drop our prestige on the ground! Or is it something inconvenient to be testified by a thief? "

Those who are frightened by the harsh words of Her Royal Highness and who claimed to kill POWs.

"By the way, the 4th Battalion Commander ..."

"What?"

Suddenly named by the royal princess, the captain of a suspicious face.

"Why are these bandits wearing swords and boots, which are my military supplies?"

"Oh, uh ..."

The words were returned from the side, instead of the battalion, who had smeared sweat on his forehead.

"It's probably a non-standard product that the supplier generally sold to the military ..."

His Royal Highness, staring at the 1st Company Commander of the 4th Battalion, responded so.

"Hoho, did the three pirates who happened to be caught accidentally bought swords and boots from the same trader all together? Then maybe all the pirates got the same swords and boots from that trader. I guess you bought it, a workshop that makes a lot of failed works.

"Uh ..."

Quiet, the 1st company commander.

"Maybe these people aren't my soldiers, right?"

The 4th Battalion replied hastyly to Her Highness Princess.

"That's not possible!"

"Then these people, their families and relatives will be punished as bandits and their gangs, but are they okay? They are absolutely not members of my army, When?"

"Of course! No such person is in my 4th Battalion!"

The princess smiled with a bad smile to the battalion, who turned her face red.

"Huh ?? I heard" I'm not a member of the army, "but say" I'm not in the 4th Battalion "to deny it. It's just a statement that only the 4th Battalion is possible, then ... "

"e……"

"And you affirm that you know all the hundreds of soldiers in the battalion, and that they are not among them. Interrogate the Clan Party as a bandit as a bandit."

"Of course!"

There, I called out behind Earl.

"Please come out!"

In my voice, the door of the Earl's carriage, right behind me, was opened, and a bandit came down from inside.

"... That's right, the 3rd platoon leader of the 1st Company of the 4th Battalion of the Dalisson Royal Army!"

""""""e……""""""

Darrisson kingdoms other than Her Imperial Highness, who are stunned and keep saying their mouths open.

And the captain of the battalion, the company commander, and one of the ministers glaring at the captain of the battalion and the company with his eyes angry and hatred.

Yes, he said he took the prisoners, but no one said he was just three.

Perhaps the minister and the battalion thought that the platoon, knowing the details of the order, had died, and if three general soldiers were told only what to do and did not know the details, the soldiers were frustrated. He was just a thief who insisted on that, and he would have thought he could just argue that there were no such men.

Indeed, no one believes a thief in the words of thieves and senior military officials. Also, on the way to the royal capital, there was a high possibility that "I tried to escape and killed me unavoidably" or "I suddenly suffered ...". No one knows the face of a low-ranking soldier of the Fourth Battalion, as he is accompanied by the Guard. You can chop your face, hit the rocks, or set a carriage on fire during the camp. Once killed, it can't be helped enough to make it impossible to identify the corpse's face.

Still, just in case, he sought to kill him immediately, before being talked about in various ways, but this was arrested by the escort guards.

"Don't forget, Commander Battalion and Company Commander. Attach a mission from a neighboring country, saying it was a special order from the Minister of Military Maunholtz, and secure your Highness Princess, the Mission Commander, and the Princess of Thunder, Ensign Neutson, 3rd Platoon, who ordered me to seize a foreign weapon, is it just a few days ago ... "

The face that distorted only the mouth like a smile with eyes that did not laugh at all was scary.

It was scary ...
