Then a few hours later.

We didn't get lost, and we made it to the heart of Baron Lelaire, Lelaire.

... Well, the baron territory is never large, so it's close to the village even when it comes to the center town.

"... Looks like you've got security on you"

When I saw the entrance to the Relial, the knight of the escort muttered.

Indeed, in front of the gates, guards and guards stand.

Normally, we don't put this kind of security at the entrance to a small city.

Only the situation one step ahead of the war seems to be tightening security.

"I'll go ahead and talk through it"

"I got it."

That's what Viscount Leguid said, stopping on the spot.

Apparently, the trouble is, we need to get through this before we get into the city.

Being a nobleman, I guess you can't go through the gates without talking about anything.

... Now that I'm in a position of temporary aristocracy, I can't talk about people.

With that in mind, a man of nobility and magnificence came out of the gate in a great panic.

I guess that means we can't keep nobles above ourselves waiting.

"Viscount Leguid, Baron Hildesheimer! Welcome aboard!

Apparently even a temporary baron, the nomenclature will be a baron.

... This may be the first time I've been called Baron Hildesheimer.

I usually call myself Matthias, so I rarely get called by my last name.

With that in mind, Viscount Leguid opened his mouth.

"You're Baron Lelaire. Has His Majesty the King told us anything?

"I received a letter a few hours ago. We've organized the information."

"Thank you. Show me."

... the local army is going to help us with the investigation.

The inclusion of the Viscount in the investigation team seems to have worked quickly.

Walking with that in mind...... from afar, a familiar person walked in.

- It's Bifgel.

Honestly, I just want to avoid it.

I don't care about Bifgel himself, but if Bifgel gets into trouble here, he's going to waste his parents' reputation.

That would annoy my father Castle and my brother Lake, so I want to avoid that.

... but unfortunately, you can't disappear on the way to being guided by other nobles either.

I was walking, hoping I wouldn't be noticed...

"Dear Matthias! Why are you back! Disqualified scum, the disgrace of the Hildesheimer family!

... Apparently, they've found it.

"I'm back, but this isn't Baron Hildesheimer's territory."

"It's something similar! They're asking why you put your face in front of me! You must have left the territory by now!

No, you're not anything like it at all.

It's someone else's territory.

... I no longer know where to go in from.

"Hey, who is this guy?

When we saw our conversation, Viscount Leguid asked the knights of the escort.

"You're Bifgel-Hildesheimer, the second son of Castle-Hildesheimer."

The knight who has led the way so far has answered Viscount Leguid's question.

You know this knight, not just the way, but even the other nobles...

"Second son...... I mean, you're not noble?

"Exactly."

"I mean, after the civilians abandoned the baron, albeit temporarily, he said it was just a shame to scumbag...?

"That's what happens."

"In time, you said you said you'd said someone else's territory was' similar to the territory of your own home '?

"You're right."

Viscount Leguid talks to the escort with his face.

Hearing the knight's answer, Viscount Leguid turned his pity eyes to Bifgel.

They're no longer even willing to get angry.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

"Bifgel Hildesheimer...... I heard rumors, but I didn't know it was as rumored so far.... Is this the guy who inherited, and the Associate Baron Hildesheimer's family okay?

"No, the inheritance is not Bifgel, it's my oldest son Lake"

"... Really? My oldest son, Lake, was a non-glorious crest, and I heard he was a year old."

In this country, it is basically the eldest son who will be the heir.

But only the second son is a glory mark, and if the age difference is within three years, things change slightly.

Under the law that determines the succession of nobles, in such cases, the 'highly skilled' will succeed.

And the chanting magic that is now mainstream in this country has become a favorable specification for the glory mark.

That's why the inheritance is basically a glory mark.

And my parents' Hildesheimer's was exactly that pattern.

Bifgel is a glory mark, and his brother Lake is an ever-demonic mark.

But......

"Normally, yes, but I'm talking about my brother Lake being very good and having higher magic skills than the glory tattoo Bifgel. That's why he says he's the eldest."

"In a place where no chanting magic is widespread, the ever-demonic crest transcends the glory crest...? No, was Associate Baron Hildesheimer's territory the home of Matthias? What happened was more or less predictable."

"That anticipation probably fits, Viscount Leguid"

Listen to my words. Viscount Legid looks convinced.

... Seeing such a conversation, Bifgel turned his face bright red.

But in the current conversation, Bifgel must have also realized that the other person was the Viscount.

Bifgel can't say anything back.

Viscount Leguid strikes after Bifgel like that.

"This time we came to Baron Lelaire on the orders of His Majesty the King. Its members include Matthias and others. Denying that Matthias came here would mean denying His Majesty the King's orders... you understand what I'm saying?

"Yes, no, I don't mean to..."

Bifgel, with that said, lags back a little bit.

And as it was, Bifgel escaped.

Poor Bifgel......

"A man named Bifgel, I heard rumors..."

'You were more than a rumor...... you're so lucky you weren't executed'

That's what Lurii and Alma, who had been silent until now, saw Bifgel escape.

Though I feel closer to feeling that I was stunned and unspoken than I was silent.

Lurii is right, if Viscount Leguid had the will to do so, he would have also been able to execute Bifgel in the present case.

But then they'll waste their time.

Bifgel can't be a big deal just to complain, and it would be a decision to leave him alone.

... that it's not even worth executing.
