The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

─ ─ Well, thank you very much.

Gilbert was dealing with a man who was a jeweler in King Elatos' capital. Receive the Promised Gems and give them gold coins instead. The man easily forgave me by pretending to be worried about a gift to his lover. The pedestal of the necklace with the large ruby grain was not very polished and I could not help but feel that it was still a jeweler for the royals. The value of the stone itself was certain.

After a few days of negotiation with the man, Gilbert put the necklace in his pocket. Give me your right hand with a satisfactory expression. The man immediately smiled and laid his right hand over him.

"I'm sure my lover will be delighted. After all, the prince also bought the jewelry. It has a reputation for boulders."

The man fell in love when he stepped out and stimulated his pride. The handshake never leaves. Gilbert directs his consciousness into the man's brain in an attempt to extract information about the prince from the man.

"No, that's not true. There's been a recession everywhere lately."

Guided, the man must have remembered the last time he spoke to the prince. The more self-esteem and simplicity, the more convenient and easy it is to extract information. Thanks to him, Gilbert was able to get the information he wanted to know easily.

It seems that the man was selling the jewels to the Second Prince of Elatos. It seemed that there were some women at the place where I bought the jewelry. In contrast to the city, it looks gorgeous. He stretches his nose under the sweet women and chooses some jewels.

According to information Gilbert has looked into so far, in Elatos, the warlike Second Prince was running the administration on behalf of the King on the hospital bed. It was also the Second Prince who started the war on Aioria. Gilbert thinks he's a prince who can't save himself by liking a fight and a woman. Additional research will be needed into what the unspoken First Prince is doing.

"Thank you very much. I'm going back to the countryside."

The man leaned against Gilbert's ear without letting go of the handshake.

"Do it. ─ ─ Just for the record, you shouldn't be around for long. The war has just begun, but we can't win it. It would have been different if Master Konrat had been in command... but King's Landing would soon be affected. No, if it was Konrado-sama, wouldn't you start the fight in the first place?"

Gilbert looked at the man's words. A gentle advice to Gilbert, who is coming to King's Landing to buy jewelry for his lover from the countryside. At the same time, he told Gilbert about the first prince, Konrado.

Yes, I will.

I thanked him and let go. The next policy has been decided. Gilbert turns his heel and returns to the inn. We should return to the inn and contact Mathias first. Then we need to look around and infiltrate the Elatos Castle. I want to dig deeper into the concert and find out how it depends on the person.

Gilbert, who locked the door in his back room, rolled the necklace of the ruby to his desk. Pull out and activate the communication magic equipment. It just looked like a metal plate, and it starts when magic spreads. By writing letters and using magic, you can convey the text to the same magical instrument that you pair with. Gilbert held a pen and wrote the letters without hesitation.

Matthias ran his eyes over the papers in the office, and the magic equipment that was on the edge of the desk glowed. Immediately prepare white paper and touch the metal box magic equipment. The letters that emerged were Gilbert's handwriting. As he writes on paper, he raises his eyes to the contents.

─ ─ Ha, Gilbert. It's a boulder. "

Mathias raised a dry laugh without thinking about the contents. It's only been two weeks since Gilbert infiltrated Elatos. But this information will satisfy not only the Knights of the Kintetsu, but also the King. Matthias returns Gilbert's contact when the transcript is finished. I wrote down the request for the continuation of the mission and the current state of the war in fine letters.

"Look at Arbel, too. From Gilbert."

Mathias handed the transcript to Arbel, who was in charge of the escort. Arbel received it immediately and looked through.

"─ ─ The First Prince isn't in charge, is he? I thought the King would be punished in the previous battle, but was it caused by the Second Prince?"

It has also been written that King Elatos has not seen the First Prince's concert since he fell asleep on the hospital bed, and it seems likely that he has evolved from a struggle with the Second Prince to a regime struggle.

"The second prince over there is called Helmut, but I was a prince who didn't want to be much of a friend. ─ ─ I've spoken to many princesses from other countries at night clubs of international exchanges. The king would have scolded me."

Mathias looks down and writes in reply to Gilbert, reminding him of what Matthias knows about the Second Prince Helmut and not to be reckless again. I sent it by simple magic.

"That's... a prince with a strong habit."

"Oh, I'm afraid I don't have any information on Mr. Conrad, but if it's a respiratory disaster, what are we going to do?"

I remember that Elatos' First Prince Konrad was a less flashy but easier person to talk about. At least he was more friendly to us than the current King or the Second Prince. But Mathias did not predict that the King would collapse and start a war under the command of the Second Prince.

Matthias wrote his own signature on the paper Arbel returned, and carefully tied it round with a string.

"─ ─ Report to my father. Please come with me, Arbel."

Matthias stood up with a voice to Arbel. If you go out into the hallway, the hallway where people come and go more busily than usual makes Matthias feel restless. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door in front of the king's office.
