"Liz, are you okay!?
Keefa, who changed her complexion, rushed over. But I kept an eye out for Liz not being scared in the cell, but rather trying to escape with both hands and one leg on an iron lattice. And I laughed reluctantly.
Keefa takes the key out of his pocket. It would be the key to this cell. Liz was surprised.
"How did you get it?
"Because I am Prince Wang."
I asked Keefa as she unlocked it before she went in and said it wouldn't be the answer.
"I'm talking about a previous life, but I want to hear one thing. Eugene would have given Cecil flower hair decorations. I want you to tell me what Cecil did with it, if you remember."
Even more surprising. Because I was just dreaming about that hair decoration.
"I've had it important for a long time... but I don't know after I die. Maybe the landlord's aunt disposed of the furniture in the room."
Keefa said it before. After Cecil's death, when Eugene visited the room, he said it was empty inside. I mean, I guess that's what it is.
Liz thought a lot and asked.
"Why are we talking about that right now?
"Sheena just showed me that hair decoration"
Liz looked up as if she had been begun. 'Cause that can't happen.
... No, if it's possible -.
"It would have made me make it just like that. Carefully, it even followed rust like it had been for 500 years."
With a face as neat as a statue, Keefa speaks pale.
"Sheena said." This hair decoration was what Sheena had in the basket she was in when she was abandoned by Bride Abbey as a baby. Probably the mother's. I've always held such old hair decorations dear. I'm sure this hair decoration must have been handed down to Sheena's ancestors' generations'. "
I feel like I'm stuck in my chest. It's terribly painful.
Sheena is a descendant of Cecil, and I want Keefa to think about it.
The same face as Cecil, who draws Cecil's blood. Because Keefa would be happy to see Sheena if she made me think so.
Liz held the iron lattice tight with both hands.
Too much Keefa, and I'm fooling Liz too. I don't consider the Keefas to be emotional people. I can move what I want, I think it's just a pawn. As if - just like in previous life.
"How far do you think you can fool us...!
Keefa raised her voice like it would.
Keefa's regrettable and irresistible feelings are painfully well understood. They share the same pain.
Liz said in a small voice.
"Duke Eigner is that deacon from his previous life, isn't he? The head butler of the Howard family."
"... you were aware"
Keefa caught a faint eye. As Liz nodded, Keefa grinned small, touching her koke brown forehead with one hand.
"I've finally got proof that Duke Eigner and Sheena are involved. A local man that Sheena used to talk to in the Colorado region. The man threw up that he was employed by a servant of the Duke's house. I also captured that Duke's servant, but he doesn't quite tell the truth. I'm usually in a secluded mansion and rarely come out in public. She came to the temple once to see Sheena, so I wish she'd been captured then."
Keefa exhaled heavily. And I looked up, and I frowned.
"Why was Liz put in jail?
"I don't know. The present Virgin suddenly told me that she was the one who brought in the magic stone."
"Why would the present Virgin do that?
Liz shook her head left and right. I was uncomfortable with the present Virgin earlier. Just like when Sheena did. That's...
I was thinking about it as I gripped the iron lattice, so I looked up and was surprised. It's over the iron lattice, but because there was Keefa's face right in front of him. Besides, he seemed to be glaring at his face for a while.
"Hey, what are you--!"
"That face is a face with something to say."
I'm starting to understand a bit, and Keefa, who laughs happily, is a beauty in vain. Before he could be seen, Liz turned away resolutely.
And I slowly opened my mouth.
"She's the current Virgin, but I think she's a phony"
"Right."
Liz glanced over, lightly affirmed. Keefa raised one eyebrow.
"Sheena changed her face. The Duke has a companion who can change his face. Probably those sorceries, but there's no way the Duke would let that go of such an amazing sorcerer"
The padlock made a dry metal noise. The iron lattice door opens with smudges.
"I was thinking about the Duke's purpose. Sheena - who will be willing to adopt her any day - as the Crown Princess. And then what? If you were a butler in your previous life, you'd keep even more insurance. Just in case.
If the sorcerer is replaced by the present Virgin, the Crown Princess and the Virgin will be among the Duke. The opinion of the present Virgin will also be respected for the next Virgin, who will eventually decide. The Duke will have access to the future Queen and Virgin. That way we have no enemies. I can manipulate this country from behind in the future. "
To that end, Keefa is trying to get Sheena to deport Liz far away as a sinner.
Keefa's scorched brown eyes dwelt the colour of anger.
"I won't let that happen. Enough farce. I won't let you do the same as I did in my previous life. Can you help me?
Liz got out of jail and nodded loudly.
"Sure. Let's get this over with"
Keefa smiled. Looks happy to have a powerful ally.
"Let's go. Before the fake Virgin finds you."
As Liz ran up the stairs and tried to escape, I heard the priests from up there.
"This way! His Highness Keefa is trying to take Liz out -!"
……
In a hurry. There is only one exit from this dungeon, this staircase. The back is a dead end.
And, Keefa grabbed my arm.
"This way."
Moving on to the back early.
"Wait. Then the rat in the bag...!
"I'm fine. When I was a kid, the clergyman showed me drawings of this dungeon. At that time, the present Virgin told me about a hidden passage not listed there. He says the present Virgin and the Cleric Chief, and the King are the only ones who know. But Prince Wang told me that I should know for a time. I hope it doesn't come at a time like this, but it's surprisingly early."
That Manon does sleep in the hospital bed, but that the present Virgin is calling the chief priest in the temple -.
Lloyd and the sheriff hurried back to the temple.
"In the meantime I'm going to the one who calls herself the present Virgin. Okay? Don't move badly until you know what's going on."
And the chief cleric said with a serious face, and went toward the First Temple.
The remaining Lloyd looked around carefully. Clergy and samurai do the same work as usual. Nothing changes, same sight as usual. One person, I don't doubt.
Lloyd grabbed a long-haired cleric who was nearby.
"The present Virgin showed herself, didn't she? How'd it go?
"Like what? It was the same as usual? He doesn't look like much in public, but he hasn't really seen it lately. I haven't seen it in a while.... than that, is Lloyd okay?
"What makes you okay?
I think back a lot to the priest who whispered. A cleric peeled off his eyes as soon as he could.
"You don't know!? Liz, the candidate you brought in, was the one who brought in that demon stone! The present Virgin said to herself that she had just been taken to prison."
"Huh..."
Lose the word. That's when the Chief Cleric returned. You look pale. I only have a bad feeling about the contemplative look on my face. Lloyd rushed over early enough.
Away from the long-haired cleric, "Lloyd" and the clergyman opened their mouths heavily.
"Calm down and listen. There is a crack in the heart of Manon. It's a magical beak. I was told that if that beak was activated, there would be no life for Manon"
……
Lloyd was stunned. The chief cleric keeps his forehead too wide with one hand.
"That current Virgin, now in the First Temple, is still a phony. The impostor set up that demonic stone. If you spread the word, there will be no Manon's life."
"... is there any chance you're lying about punching in a beak?
I thought there wouldn't be, but Lloyd confirmed it once and for all. With a frigid thought.
But the chief cleric shook his head sadly and denied it.
"The priests who were with Manon at the time said, When Manon enclosed the demon stone, something thin black flew from the demon stone, looking at Manon's chest. Shortly after, he said Manon had fallen. When I heard that, I wished I had seen it wrong..."
Ozosa ran through his whole body.
That demon stone was after Manon from the beginning.
And Manon's - real present Virgin's life is in the hands of that imposter?
"Does that imposter know Manon?
"... Probably. I don't know the details yet."
"Dear Cleric. He sinned against Liz and put him in jail."
"Oh, I heard earlier. I'll take care of that one. Give me a moment."
"Chief Cleric," he heard suddenly, and Lloyd turned to momentum. Immediately behind him stood the present Virgin, who was able to obey the accompanying samurai. No, he's a phony who replaced the present Virgin.
Lloyd's spine got cold. I felt no sign at all until I could speak up. And...
You look just like the current Virgin.
The present Virgin herself, who Lloyd has known since childhood, from her face and body to her voice.
(Is it something that will be the same so far...?
Terrible sorcery. It is also impossible for other clerics and samurai not to notice.
A fake Virgin smiled.
"What's wrong? Lloyd."
They call me by my name, and I can only turn away and say, "No, nothing". I can't say anything bad. Manon's - real present Virgin's life is at stake.
Shaking off remorse, Lloyd walked out.
"Where are you going?
A phony voice came down from behind. Lloyd replied, seeing as he wanted to ignore it.
"I'm going to the document room. Because I have a bunch of papers."
"That's a lie. I forbid you to go to the dungeon. I'm sorry about Liz, too. But she's a sinner. No one should approach the cell until the sin has been established. Chief Cleric, and of course Lloyd."
Goosebumps deliberately appeared on the gentle smile of the present Virgin herself, seeming through everything.
There came a cleric running out of breath.
"It's tough! His Royal Highness Keefa swung off the lookout and went to jail -!"
"Seal the stairs down to the dungeon immediately. They capture where they come from."
"No, that's what sealed it off there...... Your Highness is nowhere... besides Liz Stefan disappeared!
"What do you mean?
The fake Virgin's face was distorted. Momentum well sees the Chief Cleric.
"I didn't do anything. You've been in the First Temple with the present Virgin, haven't you? Well, maybe His Highness Keefa was magical and used magic."
The chief clergyman was soaked.
