Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson 82 The Curse of the Snake and the Disappeared Marquis

Now... now that the fun cooking party is over, Strina reports in a timely manner.

As a result of interviews with Gerta, it seems almost certain that Gerta and the young maid who was also serving the Schubert family, as well as the three men who were together, were planning to kidnap Retizia.

"So, I tried to make Saffias-san rebel against me..." It's a terrible story, isn't it? "

Meir looked toward Saffias as he tweeted. Saffias, after all, was shocked, so it seemed somewhat wobbly.

And, oddly enough, Keith Wood, who was by my side, was lazy! I wonder why.

Huh...? While tilting her neck, Meer turned her gaze back toward Shutrina.

"That's right, Leena-san. It's a wonderful trick."

With that praise, Strina smiled as pitifully as usual.

“Thank you. It was in front of Bell, so I got a little tense.”

That said, I wonder why... Shutina said while moving her fingers.

Behind him, Bell... had a subtle face!

"Oh... how could I...?!"

Meer thought about it here, too.

”I interrogated Gerta, who was even easier to laugh at with that mushroom...?”

Meer drinking raw saliva. The noisy air blew through the surrounding people, but Shutrina shook her head with an unexpected look on her face.

"Tickling me..." Leena wouldn't do such a nasty thing. However, even if I thought that it would tickle me, people would tickle me... "It was easy if I showed it to you. Ufufu."

Shuttler's fingers twitching as he sneezes.

"Lina, I was so relentless..." Even in the future, I'm really good at tickling, so I'm trying not to make Lina and me really angry. "

It's a bell that says it's not really angry, but it's a tone that seems like it's going to stomp down to the last minute. Well, I'm glad we're getting along.

"Now, I think I've heard most of this, but will you interrogate me personally?"

"Hmm, that's right..."

Honestly, I wasn't really interested in interrogating you... but I'm just a little interested in the effects of that mushroom.

--The taste of that mushroom bothers me... "After all, I wonder if it's better to listen to it in person..."

Thinking about it, Meer starts picking people.

If you ask me about mushrooms badly, I feel like I can't stop you, so I have to be careful about the selection... I just looked around...

"Um, Meer, onee-sama"

Suddenly, I was pulled by a dress. When I saw it, Patty was staring straight at me...

“I have a favor to ask. Gerta...... please allow me to attend the interview with the maid."

"Hmm...?"

Meer looked at Patty with a slightly surprised look on her face. In the meantime, I tilted my neck to a look that seemed like I had thought of something.

--It's unusual for Patty to say something like this...

And then, a lot of silent thoughts.

Patty's secret was that she hadn't told anyone yet. So, think about when you have to...

"... if that's the case, let's talk to Patty and me..." Lina-san, she's still numb and can't move, right? "

"I can't spit lies, and my body doesn't move. I think it's the best situation to listen to them.”

After nodding to Shutrina's words, Meer turned her gaze and said.

Well then, Abel and Xiong...... and could Saffias listen to the rest of the conversation?

Quickly assigning roles, Meer left the kitchen.

Gerta was transported to a room in Schubert Mansion.

An old maid, Gerta, is sitting in a chair with her hands tied behind her, just in case. Could it be that Strina's jerking interrogation was draining her mind?

When she saw Meer, she said with a smile on her face.

"This is, this is the wisdom of the Empire..." It's a bad hobby to come here and ridicule a fallen man. Ahahaha

"... I think you're laughing, but..."

Meer sits down in front of Gerta with an unusual and appropriate tsukumi in her mouth. "Then, Patty urged me to sit next to her..."

--Okay, what did we talk about...? I mean, if you think about it, I don't know what Patty wants to hear...

"Gently, I was just about to stroke Patty's side..."

"However, I didn't expect to be able to look into the Clausius family right now..." I wonder if that woman...... is it the imperial concubine Patricia's fault...... damn it, that little girl, even after she's dead, she's still in our way..... "

Inadvertently, Meer stares at the words.

"Clausius... and Patty... Patricia... my grandmother..." You know your grandmother, don't you? "

After I said it, I suddenly noticed it.

--Oh? Does that mean that Patty knows about this guy...?

Even when she looked at Patty's face quickly, Patty's expression was as piercing as ever.

“It's white. You've already looked into what I was serving the Clausius family, haven't you? No need for bad plays. You don't have to pretend to be surprised.”

After Gerta told him to throw up,

“As you already know, Patricia was raised by me and my mother. But he betrayed me even though I had given him a good education as a snake. What an ungrateful person to have the Clausius family provide for you....."

Well, what exactly is the Clausius family?

Meer asks what she has always wondered. Gerta frowned.

"It's sad. I didn't know that the princess of the Imperial family didn't even know that." Forget the will of the first Emperor. This whole thing is absolutely pathetic. "

Oh dear, shake your head.

"Because of this situation, the Clausius family existed... because of that ungrateful little girl..."

"Um, so, what do you mean by this kind of thing...?"

"There's nothing to explain..." You already know the traitor Yellow Moon, don't you? The House of Clausius is similar to that. A house to carry out the wonderful plans of the first emperor. The Yellow Moon family will work to fulfill His Majesty's plan by assassinating them. In contrast, the House of Clausius is a safety device against imperial corruption. "

"Imperial corruption...?"

“I'm talking about someone like you. Meer Luna Tiamoon: The Empire's Wisdom

Gerta said, staring at Meer. I stared... but my mouth was unusually creepy because it was smirking and laughing.

“People are the weak. Sometimes the will to doom fades. Besides, if you become the emperor at the top of the country, you may be satisfied with your current life... If not, it was the Clausius family's mission to despair the Emperor of the Hour and keep the First Emperor from departing from His Majesty's wishes."

"Patricia, your grandmother was also taught that...?"

"Yes..." Patricia. That traitorous little girl. "The poor concubine's daughter..." Even though I tailored it for the Empress, I betrayed the snake. It's an unforgivable betrayal. That's why.... "

And Gerta smiled in her mouth,

"That's why I was rewarded." That little girl's brother...... Hannes Clausius was cursed by a snake. "

When Hannes was named, Patty shuddered.

"The snake curse... what the hell is that...?"

Meer's voice trembles again. "I was simply frightened by the horrible word" curse "..." Well, aside from that.

"Hannes Clausius was the head of the Clausian family. It was a hostage to manipulate the imperial concubine Patricia...... but... that man, unlike his sister, had a lot to see. Every day, I read the" Book of Crawling Things "every day, and I also read various related books. It was like being possessed by a snake."

So Gerta cut out the meaning of the words,

"And one day, Hannes suddenly disappeared. Were you killed by the curse of the angry snake, or were you taken away again...?" Well, even if I escaped, I wouldn't be able to live without the snake. They'll be dead by now. Fufufu, either way, it feels good. "

Gerta laughed amusedly. Patty called out to Gerta like that.

"Gerta... are you really Gerta?"

Gerta's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Patty's confused face.

"Ah... little girl... that eye. After all, you look alike. To him, to that useless Patricia... fufufu, what if you're the rebirth of that woman? Then be cursed. You, the wisdom of the Empire, everything....."

It was as if Gerta was laughing in a creepy drunkenness.

Seeing that, Mea couldn't help but feel something faint and cold crawling up her spine.

Now, just as she was leaving the room, Meer glared at Patty.

Patty was quietly lying down.

"Um... Patty?"

As expected, this is Meer who thinks she needs to explain the situation, but now, what did she say... how did she deceive me...?

"When I'm thinking about it, I'm gulping..."

"... let my brother... see Hannes..."

"I heard a small twitch as I puffed..." The next moment, Patty raised her face.

"Hannes... where is Hannes?" I, I want to see you... I want to see you ".

Patty grabs her dress skirt tightly. Tears were spilling out of his eyes... but... his face still lost its expression. "It's as if it's strictly forbidden to make an expression..."

No... not like that. "I guess that's what it was..." I bet the snake taught him to erase his expression from the girl, use it himself, and guide the opponent...

"Patty..."

I can't say anything to such a girl... "

"I want to see you..."

All I could do was listen to the scuffed voice of Patty.
