Tearmoon Empire Story

"Now, Belle, this is the challenge for tonight."

Bell leaned small and bowed his neck to Ludwig, who gave him the parchment. It's like I'm in a hurry... because I got that impression.

"Um, Dr. Ludwig, where are you going?

Ludwig smiled bitterly at the cute question.

"Please stop the teacher. But that's right. I'm going out for a little bit."

And so Ludwig leaned his neck.

"By the way, where's Straina?

"Ah, yes. Actually, Lena went out too. I'm the only one who answers."

"Really...? Hmm."

Ludwig thinks for a moment.

Those accompanying the Imperial Guard stayed in the Mansion, except for those who followed Meer. Then....

"I didn't see Dion, but I see. So....."

When she nodded, Belle spoke to her.

"Um, Dr. Ludwig, if you don't mind, could you take me with you?

"Ah, that's right...."

Ludwig looks into it as he groans.

Would the girl in front of you do the task honestly just because she left it here?

I'll leave you in this situation where nobody's watching... will you?

... to be honest, the likelihood of skipping seems pretty high.

Besides, she is a girl that Meer cherishes.

I was a little worried about leaving a few guards behind in Uncle Rampron's mansion, which was never on my side.

--Besides, it might be better for Bell-san to see the various political rushes on the ground.

Ludwig doesn't believe that Bel is Meer's half-brother. But Bell also seems to have some sort of Meer presence.

Perhaps the distant is not a lie.

― ― In addition, Meer's absolute trust and connections at St. Noel, including the Duchess of Yellow Moon. Perhaps Mea is about to give this girl some role in the future....

After thinking, Ludwig asked for confirmation.

"You knew Raffina, didn't you?

"Ah, yes. In a way, it's a friend!

With his hands on his hips, Ludwig leaned his neck toward the bell saying such a thing.

"... is it a cause?

"Ah, no. As a result, we are very close. But why?

Ludwig snorts his nose at the rushed bell.

"It's simple. I'm going to Raffina's place."

After leaving Uncle Rampron's mansion, Ludwig first headed for the royal castle, Solescud Castle.

To rendezvous with Anne, who accompanies Meer.

Fortunately, Anne waited by the castle gate because she had spoken in advance.

"I'm sorry. Did I make you wait?

"No, that's okay, but what the hell is going on?

Following Anne's strange face, Belle leaned her neck tightly.

"That's right. Raffina, what can I do for you?

"That's right... Earlier, when I brought up Raffina, I noticed her expression. It's like I've been made to know something bad... that face..."

When I heard that Raffina, the Virgin of Verga, was in this country, Ludwig had a breakthrough in mind.

If we can even get Raffina's help, we can shake the opposition, the Duke of Green Moon and Prince Eshar.

― ― However, Ms. Meer was not chosen. Somehow....

It seemed to Ludwig that there was an answer to Meer's face at that time.

I didn't think it would be good for Ludwig to know that Raffina was here. I mean, it's not desirable to ask Raffina for her help... so Mia thought about it.

But Ludwig didn't know why.

That's why I decided to go check it out.

Anne nodded deeply when she heard the story.

"I see... Mia-sama, there are places where you can embrace yourself... I think you should check it out."

"Yes, Dr. Ludwig, I have a question."

And so, the bell raises its hand.

Ludwig smiled unexpectedly.

What is it, Mr. Bell?

Apparently, he has already given up on calling a teacher.

"Meer Onee-sama is the wisdom of the Empire. That's why I think you know everything and can give me all the instructions I need...."

Looking strangely at Bell, Ludwig answers in a tone that speaks loudly.

"Very well, remember, Bell-san. I think it is negligent to do just what is said. That would betray your trust."

"Trust...?

"That's right. The fact that Meer was allowed to accompany us means that there are expectations there. Belle, we have a mind that can think. I think it's negligence not to use it."

"... even if onee-sama didn't tell me"

Bell nodded little to see what came to his mind.

"Then I understand... Everyone did... Everyone... for me..."

I didn't know who the "people" in the tweet were...

With his face raised quietly, Ludwig felt an untouchable sense of nobility.

It's like someone who stands on top of someone... and breathes slightly into that style.

Well, let's go.

It was Ludwig who felt so majestic that he couldn't beat Meer in his words.
