Guillain-chefs discovered suspected chiffon cake theft on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday.

Although there has been no human damage, the location of the discovery is problematic.

The use of theft as a gift to His Majesty was tantamount to despising His Majesty that it was sufficient.

That's why Dears collapsed and trembled.

Natalie, her lord, would have been shocked as well, but Natalie stood steadfastly until the end because she looked a little pale.

Natalie, I thought it was an unintentional doll, so I was surprised to see Rin.

Apparently, I wasn't the only one who felt sympathetic to the young woman when she tried to take the blame.

Not to be acquitted, but if we keep her out of the royal castle, the power relationship of the queen candidate may collapse at once, causing confusion.

Two days after my birthday, I was still discussing the specific punishment.

"Kurona, I'm invited to a party of nobility outside the castle today, so I'll be home pretty late. If the cat strawberries aren't trapped in my room, could you check them out at night?

"I understand. Welcome ~"

Kurona will escort you to the carriage and leave the palace behind.

The destination is the noble mansion outside the royal castle.

-------------------------------

Leticia, as expected, you're coming out.

Lucian muttered small.

And above them are stars full of heaven.

He got off the carriage and turned back behind closed doors, lurking in a tree next to the Away Palace.

Beyond the gaze, a cloaked shadow emerged from the palace of separation.

There were guards stationed in the detached palace, and the guards at the Imperial Castle regularly patrolled.

The soldiers didn't blame him, and he avoided the guards' patrolling hours, so he must be related to the detachment.

However, at this time of day, there were no plans for people in the detached courtyard to go out.

You got it. Let's go after him. "

Lucien and the two of you follow the trail quietly.

The betrayer's eyes were two, but I wasn't sure, so today I'm alone with a trusted Lucian.

The shadow of the cloak travels through an unpopular place in the woods.

Speaking of the royal castle, the grounds are vast.

It seemed that there were no patrol guards outside the main building.

As she breathed, she walked out a little open.

Apparently this was the rendezvous point.

There was a shadow of a cloak to discuss with several men, and a giant beast that shined with starlight.

"Griffon... That still means...."

It's a kind of phantom beast.

I hear that Natalie's faction has brought it to the royal castle in a rare presence.

If the chiffon cake hadn't been successfully stolen, he would have made Griffon a birthday gift.

Griffon is a phantom beast with prey claws and mouth, flying wings and strong lion hind legs.

It seemed to have been raised in a less popular place so as not to accidentally attack passing humans or beasts.

"I heard Griffon is a proud and relatively calm creature....."

He is walking around with his mouth rattling and kicking the ground.

I was obviously in a bad mood because it was tied to an iron pile with a bundled thick rope.

The prey's eyes were harsh, and he looked around -----

"Guilloyaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Oh no. I think I've noticed our presence with a superior sense of human nature.

The men looked at us in unison at the groaning Griffon.

"Lady Leticia"

A deaf voice jumps into your ear.

It's my maid, Krona.

As a beast, she had a sharp sense of five senses and a good night's eye, and she seemed to have found us first.

"Why is Leticia here...?

Because I doubted you.

The meaning of hiding disappears, so I get out of the bushes before I get up.

The men were also upset by my sudden appearance and seemed unable to decide what to do.

"Oh no... why? I have nothing to suspect....."

"Yeah, that's right. I had a good job as a maid, and as an informant, I don't think I made any direct mistakes."

"Then why...?

"I didn't think your personality was very maid."

"What? Is that such a trivial thing...?

Krona murmuring.

The reaction in the pressing scene may have been his femininity at a certain pace.

I liked my paced character, Krona.

In the first place, I began to wonder whether people of that personality would volunteer to take care of others from their own work maids.

Was someone forcing you to use your maid's position as an informant?

The delusions were as suspicious as they were suspicious, but that was the only basis for suspicion of Kurona.

First of all, I felt that the chiffon cake served by the Guillaume chef was severely degraded even though it was stolen.

All my out-of-court cooks knew how to make chiffon cakes in detail.

Even if the cook was running around the betrayal recipe, he felt it was too degraded.

Of course, there is a difference between the arms of the people who make them and the cooking utensils they use.

But Guillain-chef Gilbert is close to being a first-class cook.

The chiffon cake shape, which is the biggest feature of cookware, was also imitated thanks to a good blacksmith on the other side.

Even though the foam was not stolen from the detached house and not imitated, it is a good substitute for foam.

When I had Gilbert bubble the wood with a stick or a fork to try it, the success rate dropped, but the substitution should have been sufficient, since the chiffon cake was of good quality.

Nevertheless, it was strange that the chiffon cake tasted so bad.

For this reason, if the informant is other than the cook, there is an explanation.

Beyond being a cook, it's always difficult to observe the cooking process.

Suppose we had to peek into the kitchen or hear from the cook again, the recipe would have had to be incomplete.

Then, the number of employees who can learn how to make chiffon cakes other than cooks will be limited.

Borgan, the maid, and Kurona, who was involved in the whole out-of-court work, had their faces in the kitchen the day they first made the chiffon cake.

In the case of Kurona, she was in the kitchen at the stage where she had the ingredients and utensils before cooking, and she was away from the kitchen during cooking, so she didn't know how to cook.

Assuming that she was a traitor, she was also very convinced of the low degree of completion of the chiffon cake.

... I'm guessing, Kurona, you misunderstood the use of the oil I prepared?

The chiffon cake I tasted was just like the one I forgot to oil the dough in my previous life.

Greasing confectionery fabrics with butter, rather than butter, should be quite minor in this world.

Kurona may have mistaken the oil prepared for the cake and told the Guillaume chef.

... well, I'll leave the details behind.

Kurona has some things to check out.

"Kurona, I've been trying to find out about you. You're from a famous civilian home, but you lost your parents three years ago, right? And, unfortunately, the merchant's parents died in an accident involving goods, leaving behind debts. It's not unusual for you with a young sister to aspire to be a relatively high-paid maid in a detached house... but you're a little concerned about the person who owed you money, right?

"... I owe my house to a breathtaking man from Dears' house."

"... that's the way it is."

Dears' connections are likely to be looking down at the Beast.

It's no wonder you threatened to take a merciless pickup from the beast, Kurona, and become a token if you can't repay your debts.

Kurona's maid must have been useful as an undercover agent.
