Tensei saki de suterareta no de, mofumofu tachi to oryouri shimasu ~okazari ouhi wa my pace ni saikyou desu~

After discussing with His Majesty, the two of us thought about how to move.

The next day, I was on my way to the Duke of Kernel, a series of masterminds.

As a queen, I come here with a proper name.

Like Mr. Leonard's raid on King's Landing, we couldn't and we weren't going to let him stop us.

"Welcome, Leticia, this is the first time you've ever visited me like this."

"Yeah, that's right.And I think today will be the first and last visit. "

The Duke of Kernel sits before his eyes with a gentle smile.

I understood that being generous and honest was limited to appearances.

"I'll be straightforward. Duke Kernel, do you intend to plead guilty in the meantime?"

"What is sin? What are you referring to?"

"Making it look like Mi Mirsha helped Theodore escape, and for every knowledge of Theodore, the Knight of the Amazon, he tried to get the Amazon horse."

The Duke of Kernel seems to be blurry, even if he cuts in a straight line.

"If you're so sure, what's the proof?Of course we have it all, right? "

"Yes, of course. The two tail foxes of Mi Mirsha's companion beast were protected here."

The gardeners and cats are doing a very good job this time.

Promptly secure the two-tailed fox and cooperate with Lee Riena.

We were able to obtain information from Mi Mirsha's two tail foxes on the perpetrator of Mi Mirsha's abduction and capture him.

Once you find one thread, the investigation will go on.

Some of the kidnappers are involved in the escape of Theodore.

On the basis of that testimony, His Majesty sent his soldiers, and I moved the gardeners and cats to hunt down Theodore.

The investigation is already overcrowded.

It was also my role to keep the Duke of Kernel from helping him move while His Majesty went to secure Theodore's identity.

"- You're late."

The door of the reception room was pushed open by His Majesty from the outside.

Your Majesty's presence here means that we have secured Theodore safely.

The Duke of Kernel was packed.

"Kernel, I'm sorry.Knowing you as a loyalist from my father's time, I didn't expect you to act foolishly to the detriment of the national interest. "

"To the detriment of the national interest?"

The Duke of Kernel leaned his head.

If you're being hunted down, you shouldn't be foolish enough to understand.

However, there is no rush or wolf on his face, and he still has a calm expression.

"What does that mean?Yeah, sure, I got Theodore and Tenma, as Leticia said.But where is it said to be foolish? "

"What do you mean other than foolishness?Trick and treat people in their own country with wet clothes, causing trouble with others.What can I be proud of? "

Your Majesty's very straightforward reasoning.

But I didn't see the Duke of Kernel wearing it.

"That depends on the results you can get.Militarily, the Tenma Knight is powerful.Even at one end of the spectrum, if it is adopted as the strength of our country, do you think it may be called an achievement?If we consider the fault of Theodore, the Cavalier of the Temple of Wildam, we will not be able to criticize our country unilaterally.I was just working reluctantly to make this country stronger and richer. "

"... I see."

His Majesty closed his eyes loosely.

"Your Majesty, what have you done?Do you really think that the explanation you just gave me is correct? "

"No."

Your Majesty is shaking his head small.

"I don't think I'm right.But the Duke of Kernel is different.The Duke of Kernel certainly believes in his legitimacy.I believe from the bottom of my heart that I am a person who moves for my country because my nose has understood that there is no lie in the words. "

……

I understand the feeling of His Majesty's tired face to the point where I don't like it either.

The Duke of Kernel is not just a bad man.

It is not acting for personal gain, but only for the sake of the country.

You tried to get Countess Needy into trouble, but you just tried to get rid of someone who would get in the way of you moving for the country.

I have no regrets or reflections because I am proud that I am doing the right thing.

In a way, we were much worse opponents than Theodore, who left it to the momentum of desire.

The means are useless but the heart of the country itself is authentic, so it gathers the trust and power of the surrounding people.

"I'm sorry, too. Your Majesty doesn't seem to understand how I feel about my country."

"It's good to think of a country.They say the way we do it is a problem. "

That's sweet.

Kernel has a pathetic look on his face.

"Your Majesty is not properly apprised of the situation in this country.Inside, we are divided into five parts, and we are lagging behind other countries in the study of magic.With the momentum of recent years, there is only a future to destroy when confronted with the Empire.It was only to avoid the future of doom that I wanted to use my dirty hands. "

The Duke of Kernel did not change his theory, even though he was condemned to sin.

I only think I did what was necessary for my country.

The Duke of Kernel.

His Majesty opens his lips.

I intend to make a final announcement.

"Give up now. We have all the evidence that you helped Theodore escape.Leonard of the rope is no longer on your side. "

"... is something wrong with Leonard?"

Only a few.

The moment I heard about Leonard, I felt upset by Duke Kernel.

"Looks like you relied on Leonard and used it like your right arm...It's a big mistake, because Leonard is working to destroy you now. "

"Your Majesty, what did you suddenly say?"

"All right, that's it."

A faint voice blocking Duke Kernel's words.

I got the paperwork, it belonged to Mr. Leonard.

"This, this, and this.Shall I give it to His Majesty? "

"Well, that's...."

The Duke of Kernel looked at the paperwork and moaned small.

What Leonard has in his hands is a description of the dark deals and instructions made by Duke Kernel in the name of the cause of the nation, which he will never be able to bring to light.

The Duke of Kernel has an incredible look, like a dog bit his hand.

"Leonard, why are you here? Was I the only one who used your life for the sake of my country?"

Um, is that so?

Mr Leonard is smiling ironically.

"Mmm! Mmm! Ah, I felt it.That's why I've been doing this dirty job under you for years.When I'm done paying you back, I'll do whatever I have to do.You're in trouble for giving me orders.From now on, the wind will remain on your side.I'm going to live free as a bard of beauty and beauty. "

"Freedom..."

The Duke of Kernel held his fist.

"Ah, don't be ridiculous! You can only avenge the country!As long as you are, you will never be allowed to live freely! "

The Duke of Kernel made a strong statement.

"Have you forgotten that you must not live in this country..."

"Shut up."

Words as short as freezing were released from His Majesty to freeze the Duke of Kernel's movements.

"Hmm, Your Majesty, why are you sheltering him?"

"You're not supposed to be alive?What if Leonard tells you that the former Prince Leonardo didn't draw the blood of his father's king? "

"Eh?"

The Duke of Kernel was holding his breath and stiffening his body.

"Why did His Majesty tell you that...?"

"Because Leonard said so. I don't have a bloody brother. I mean, me and Leonard aren't even half-brothers, they're relatives. "

The unjust son of the father.

Mr. Leonard's mother was a queen, but she had children other than the King.

"Is that why Leonard, the son of the eggs, who may have taken over the royal lineage, was about to be killed with his mother?"

His Majesty told me indifferently that I had been guessed what would have happened in the royal family of this country.

It seems likely that His Majesty's mother was the first to sniff the eggs.

He was murdered trying to intimidate Mr. Leonard's mother.

However, His Majesty's mother was not just killed, but left a sentence accusing the King of laying eggs.

The king was furious and decided to bury Mr. Leonard's parents and children.

"According to official records, my brother is already dead.Did you save your brother on the verge of being disposed of and try to crush him as a convenient token? "

"The unjust boy who tried to rob the royal family?He wasn't killed. He's fine. "

His Majesty looks down on the Duke of Kernel, shouting for his legitimacy.

"There is no sin in the child, whether he is an unjust child or not, who was born without parental choice.My brother has a heart, right?I betrayed my brother because you treated him like a child of iniquity. "

"I don't think it's that hard.Well, it's not far without hitting it. "

Mr. Leonard shrugged lightly at the words of His Majesty, who pleaded guilty to the Duke of Kerness.

◇ ◇ ◇

"- But I can't believe Leonard was the ex-Prince and the man that His Majesty Glenn Reed admired, Brother Leonardo."

"Are you surprised? Life needs stimulation."

"Yeah, I'm surprised you don't like it."

Slowly looked up at Mr. Leonard.

After capturing the Duke of Kernel, I was stranded in Mr. Leonard.

"Your Majesty's spoken brother was kind, proud, elegant, and could only be said to be wonderful."

"Have you been disillusioned by me?"

"I'm just surprised. I was disillusioned that I didn't know about Your Majesty's brother, and I had no illusions about Mr. Leonard."

"Heh? Are you sure? I'm pretty confident in my face, color, and voice?"

"Even if you talk about your bad grudge against Celery with that beautiful voice, there's no way it's going to come any closer."

"That's a tough one."

Even so, Mr. Leonard doesn't seem to have endured it.

As usual, he has an irresistible personality.

"Niisama... you've changed."

His Majesty murmured.

The joy and confusion of being able to reunite with Mr. Leonard, who thought he was dead, was faint but unusual, moving the expression of His Majesty when it came to the ice statue.

"My older brother was often praised as the ideal prince.Was that the only thing that made me feel like I had a tough life since I was chased by the royal castle? "

"I'm sorry to praise you, but I don't have that delicate nerve?"

"But in reality, my brother has changed so much."

Find out what your older brother looked like when you were a kid.

Your Majesty was watching Mr. Leonard.

"That's true for food, too. I don't think you liked or disliked your older brother, but if you hated celery so much, did you have trouble eating the damaged celery and get hungry?"

"No, I don't think so, Your Majesty."

Mr Leonard denied his words, laughing at them.

"I haven't been good at celery for a long time.There's something special I don't like and I don't hate it anymore. "

"For a long time....?"

Don't you agree, Your Majesty is frowning slightly.

"That can't be true. My older brother would have eaten celery deliciously."

"Haha, well, I was raised as a prince.Even I was able to eat something bad and not put it on my face back then.When you want to be braced in front of your cute little brother, right? "

There is one or two people who are not good at cooking.

Sometimes it's embarrassing to be told that there's something I don't like and don't like.

At that time, just as you admired Mr. Leonard, so must he have loved you as his brother.

Whether he was a cool brother for his brother or not, Celery hid something he didn't like, encouraged martial arts and study, and acted as an ideal prince.

His Majesty also noticed such a smiling stretch of his brother's heart.

Like nostalgia, and it doesn't look good.

She loosened her eyes and mouth slightly and looked at Mr. Leonard.

"... what are you going to do now, brother?I also intend to cooperate so that people like Kernel do not try to use my brother.Shall I keep someone to myself? "

The prince who was supposed to be dead was alive.

Besides, I'm not actually drawing royal blood.

If they find out, the country will be devastated by a huge scandal, and as Your Majesty, it is your choice to hide it with all your might.

Mr. Leonard himself didn't seem to want to return to the royal family anymore.

"Haha, you're overprotective.I'll be fine by myself.It's harder for a maiden to stop by if there's a bodyguard around. "

"But...."

Your Majesty seems unable to dispel his anxiety.

I knew exactly how worried I felt about Mr. Leonard, who had been killed as a wrongdoer.

"I'm not strong, am I?As a matter of fact, I'm much more beautiful than those bragging about my arms, my head and face, and my voice.Isn't that a complete bard? "

"What a splendid self-portrait..."

As I murmured, Mr Leonard pointed to his own eyes.

"This is all true, isn't it?If you doubt it, look me in the eye. "

"Look at my eyes?Another classic, kissy dictation, ku... "

I accidentally lost my word.

Look here, Mr. Leonard's bright green eyes.

His pupils were long and elongated, changing to the same shape as the Wesen.

"Wesen... no, no, half-beast...?"

"That's right. I've never seen my face. My real father was a beast."

It is a rare example of this country, but there were times when beasts and humans were bonded and given a child called a semi-beast.

The half-beast will be born with both human and veterinarian characteristics.

"I don't look like a beast, I don't have an ear, I don't have a tail, I'm almost human, but my physical abilities are like a beast.Were the beasts of Leticia's escort watching splendidly just now? "

Sure, I was wondering what it was like.

Wesen's physical abilities, his martial arts as a prince, and his innate sense of nature seemed to make Mr. Leonard a physical strongman.

"That's why they told me I didn't draw royal blood.Neither my ancestral king nor my mother draws much human blood, and there is no half-blood between them.More than that, my mother is a foolish woman who thrives with a beastman whose child's traits make it easy for her to discover an affair. "

For a moment talking about her mother, Ms. Leonard's eyes were cold.

His eyes were completely different from those of His Majesty, the bloodless brother.

"I also hid that I was a half-blood.However, if Daw feels good or moves her body violently, her pupils become Wesen's.Unfortunately, people saw it. "

I was being rude, too.

Mr Leonard finally stood up with Lute.

"Well, I guess it's time to go.Do you have anything to do with what Duke Kernel did?I have a casual bard, so I'll leave the rest to you. "

Whatever you want.

With the lightness of a flowing cloud, Mr. Leonard left.

"... did you allow me to go, Your Majesty?"

"... ahh"

His Majesty exhaled in a small manner in response to my question.

"I've been taking great care of my brother for a long time.I can't keep relying on you anymore.Even this time, my brother said he betrayed me to be free from Kernel, but that's not all. "

"... yes, I agree."

If you really wanted to be free from the Duke of Kernel, there should have been something easier to do.

Until yesterday, Mr Leonard continued to pretend to follow Duke Kernel's instructions.

Just before I stepped into the Duke of Kernel's house, I must have had a reason to bring the evidence of Duke Kernel's evil with me and ask for your help.

"I'm sure Leonard wanted to get rid of Duke Kernel from the reign of His Majesty.I was looking for an opportunity to destroy the trusted Duke of Kernel around me.Now that Duke Kernel is known to be involved in Theodore's escape, it's unlikely that he'll be able to get rid of the evil. "

"... I suppose. My brother just saved me and gave me to me."

His Majesty distorted his lips to mock himself.

I shook my neck and put my guess about Mr. Leonard to rest.

"No, I'm sure they're not just helping me.Mr. Leonard is a half-blood.I think the presence of His Majesty, who purely admires himself every day for his secrets and nerves, was an irreplaceable treasure. "

His Majesty, the beauty of ice, is warm in his heart.

Mr. Leonard was healed by a straight temperament that did not decorate him, so he must have followed Duke Kernel's instructions while moving towards his reign.

"... I see. But I was able to support my brother."

Your Majesty dropped the murmur.

I've been watching where Leonard left off to for a while.
