Laura, who was showcasing the technique of having various pieces of information planted in casual conversations to have a conversation, immediately broke off her conversation with a diplomat.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, we have plans for the future."
"No, because the princess came to the castle, we can talk more..."
"That's not how it works. Besides, since I am not the princess of Holstat, but accompanied by Master Siegel, I will take precedence over you."
Now the diplomat has shut up to Laura, who tells Sigel to tell her otherwise, not herself if she wants to talk.
We naturally know about Sigel, but we are also told that he is not a good opponent because the Great Spirit is involved.
As he sewed that gap, Laura bowed her head toward the diplomat.
"See you later"
"Ah..."
Laura had also received that little whine of a diplomat, but she pretended not to hear it and turned her heel back.
And Laura has urged the Sigels to go outside with only their gaze.
The Sigels left it to Laura's discretion to start walking silently.
Instead of going to an extra place, the guide was arriving, but the person looked back with a flicker wondering if it was really okay.
Of course, the Sigels were aware of that, but pretended not to notice it all together.

Philomena, who left the castle to make sure there was no surveillance nearby, saw and heard Laura.
"Are you glad that's it?
"Yeah. Enough is enough. You'll just have more trouble with people even if you're there, and I told you what I wanted to tell you."
The only thing I wanted to tell the Gerrion Empire at this point was the story of the ruins and Laura's actions with Sigel.
I can't answer anything else if they ask me, and if I stay weirdly long, I could get blurry.
Now that Laura is in a position to give it back without knowing about the Kingdom of Horstat, it is likely that she will just let them waste their time.
Having heard Laura's explanation, Marina has, for some reason, turned a meaningful gaze towards Siegel.
"I see, a troublesome opponent,"
"Yeah, he's a troublesome guy."
To Marina's words, Laura replied with a small sigh.
If Sigel is just that much too, I know he's expected to have someone to do with him.
However, he tilted his neck without knowing who the troublesome opponent was.
"A troublesome person, who?
This is Siegel's first entry into the Gerrion Empire, and it's not like he knows anyone.
Especially since I don't remember making enemies so far, I didn't know who they were talking about.
Filomena has turned a slightly dazed gaze at Sigel like that.
"Dude. Sigel, you really don't work your head off on this thing. I figured it out right away, didn't I?
"Isn't that what you have to do anymore? Besides, anyway, if we had Marina and Princess Laura, we'd be able to follow her, right?
When Michaela answered that, Filomena glanced.
"No, I said anyway..."
"It's a fact, so there's no other way."
To Philomena's protest, Michaela replied softly, clapping her shoulders.
Marina, who was laughing at the exchange between Filomena and Michaela, saw Sigel, who was being left behind.
"I think you'll find out as soon as you remember the last time it was done at the castle in Holstadt. There was a chance they'd do the same thing back then, right?
"Ah. Uh, you know what?"
Sigel turned to the point where he gazed at Laura in a meaningful way.
Sigel, who is less aware of making marriage a tool of it as well in order to benefit, is hardly aware of that aspect.
Most importantly, there are as many similar cases in the original world as there is the word honeytrap, but at least I never heard such a story close to you.
Seeing Sigel's face, Laura said, looking strange.
"What am I supposed to say, but even though I don't usually, these stories are really bad guesses"
"Gu!"
"Well, don't tell him that. Anyone in our world who's not involved in our inheritance can be blunt because they're spending no part of it, right?
"Really?"
To explain the marina, Laura became the first face to know.
On this continent, when he is other than the eldest son of those in his capacity, except the aristocracy, he enjoys love freely for the price.
Given that, it is not necessarily more of a rare thought of the aristocratic view of marriage.
However, unlike Siegel, it is sometimes easier to notice because the presence of nobility is closer.
Nevertheless, Sigel sighed only once, thinking that he could not stay like this forever.
"It's hard to switch consciousness, but if you don't keep it right, it's going to be hard one day"
"Right. It doesn't always have marina and laura on it."
When Philomena responded with her face, Michaela turned to her gaze.
"Oh. Still working it out, isn't it Phee?
"Mi-ka-e-la!"
The other faces laughed when they heard Philomena speak low while saying so to Michaela, who had been mixing it up.

Dafiz sighed on the spot, having already heard reports that Princess Laura had left the capital.
"Did they do it completely? It's better not to get weird because the Great Spirit is involved. I thought about it completely."
"Yes. Sorry......"
Dafiz waved away the rapporteur who tried to bow his head.
"Fine. I was the last one to decide I didn't have to see you. It's more impossible to assume there's Princess Laura at that point."
It is politics that has to consider all the possibilities if it is meant to be, but sometimes it means that you think too much to move around.
It is also politics that makes the best choice with the information at hand.
"Nevertheless, thus Princess Laura with the rumored figure? You should think how much they hate you."
To the emperor, who dared not mention who, the rapporteur clogged the words.
"Ha. That's..."
"I'm also responsible for letting those idiots educate me.... I do, but do you really think you're going to grow up to be such a person and be named your successor, ahem?"
He opened his mouth to Dafiz, who said so with a sigh, wondering if the rapporteur, a side he could rely on, should answer for a moment.
"Isn't it hard to notice because you grow up in a similar way yourself?
"... that's where my head hurts."
The proximity gave an indescribable look to Dafiz, who actually held his head down while saying so.
Even for Dafiz, the prince's problem is a headache.
There is a problem of bad femininity, as it is in people's rumors, but it is not imitating the way you leave it to power to break the law.
Neither a messy, forceful personality nor, from the standpoint of being an exchanger, a total bad thing.
If those who can make it look good are around, in some cases it will be possible for the decision to elevate the country.
The problem with the prince lies in the fact that few can do it.
Dafiz was therefore also concerned that he had tended to run wild in recent years in particular.
Dafiz, who even thought it would be quicker to talk to me about breaking the law, said to the side.
"Well, fine. Better than that, make sure you tell Princess Laura properly."
"Yes."
"The question is how the idiots who heard this story come out...... well, is that available"
The last one was close to solitary, and the proximity did not respond to the words of Dafiz.
I know it's the right thing not to react, because whining close to Dafiz's solitude is common.
Already at this time, the engagement story with Princess Laura had completely disappeared from Dafiz's head.
Instead, he began to think about whether he could use this to somehow clean up domestic problems.
