The Branded Female Fencer
Who Travels Our Way, Part 7 ~ Secret Book ② ~
After all, Kazas and Nia were sent to the Deep Green Palace viewing room, but they were both nervous because they went too well. But when he opened the door, what a Miranda Kazas knew. Miranda looked at the two faces and laughed nostalgically, the job lagged behind and smiled.
"Long time no see, Nia, Kazas. Looks like we both had a bad breath."
"Was this - a little void poked at you? Speaking of which, he was born to one of the archbishops. I'm sorry I'm late in celebrating."
"In a little while, you seem to have become quite splendid."
Kazas was somewhat ironic, and Nia honestly praised Miranda. The Miranda shrugged her shoulders and gave them a bitter laugh back.
"Sounds kind of forgotten, but I've been such a great guy from the beginning, huh? I specifically started leading my men around the church and sitting at their desks, but if that bothered me, I was given enough authority to move vigilantes in every city and the Arnelian external knights there. I barely used it."
"I'm sorry, I thought it was some kind of joke."
"Holy shit!
Miranda pretended to slap Nia, but the neighborhood is like a twitch between her daughters of her age. I sighed as Kazas fixed his glasses to see how it was.
"I'm fine with being close, but can I ask you to move on?
"Oh, my God, he still hates you. You. Nia, are you really dating this?
"Ugh. Well, that's somewhat of a bad mouth, but Kazas is a good man,"
"Was the Atashi that I heard stupid? That's what I'm talking about."
Miranda was frightened, but the story was finally falling into its original sheath.
"Let's hear what you came here to talk about again. The wax pressed in this letter is undoubtedly from Dryan, King of Groussard. Kazas, did you even become a Gruzaldo spy?
"I don't mean to. It's from a friend."
"My friend... the dryan?
To Miranda with her eyes rounded, Kazas replied floating.
"What does that mean, Kazas?"
"Neither have I been asked for details. Isn't the content of the letter more important than that? He said to give it to anyone in Arnelia who is in a position more than the Archbishop and, if possible, Miriazal himself, but you would not lack it. I don't know the contents of the letter either, and nothing starts with you not reading the letter. I've simply come to deliver this letter."
Miranda is urged to rush to let Kazas rip her off. While I was somewhat dissatisfied, I unsealed the wax and opened the letter, but there was certainly no trace of it as I had read it once.
Miranda read a letter from Dryan, but the contents were very simple. But that was enough to stun Miranda. Unexpectedly Miranda asked Kazas.
"- Is it true what it says here?
"So I don't know what it is. It's just that a man named Dreyan wasn't the kind of person who joked."
"I see."
Miranda thought a lot and immediately looked up. The look was more serious than I've ever seen for Kazas or Nia.
"I'm sorry, but apparently it's a fire emergency. Maybe we can pick it up some other time."
"What did the letter say?
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that. But I'm going to have to go to the High Episcopal now."
"Really? Then let me and Nia decide to say hey. Oh, just one last thing. Is there someone here named Sister Lapenty?
"Lapenty?"
Miranda was surprised. How does Kazas know the name of Sister, the second of the pilgrimage? Kazas spoke honestly when he saw Miranda reveal her distrust.
"This is also the word of Dryan. When he was traveling around the country, he said he had an acquaintance with her. It's been a long time, but he just wants to know if it's a breath disaster."
"... Yeah, it's a breath disaster. You seem too well for your age."
"I see. Is it possible to meet?
"I'm in this deep green palace now. I'll show you to the orange infarct, so follow me. However, to leave the Deep Green Palace as soon as it is finished. It looks like this, this Deep Green Palace is a mountain of secrecy, so how can you let it stay so long?"
"I understand that."
When Kazas greeted him briefly, he followed Nia in the lookout room. Thus, with the guidance of the orange infarct, Kazas was guided to Lapenti.
As the second of the pilgrimage, Lapenti has more than that power. Less involved in the work on the table, but while Miranda was not at all involved in chores within the church, it was the second lapenty that was partitioning the work behind her. Its influence as the second in the pilgrimage for a long time is great, and many follow her even within the pilgrimage. The fourth Marduk and others have been found by Lapenti and have nurtured their talents. In a way, he could have said that he was more respectful than the Archbishop.
The Lapenti was given a single room in the Deep Green Palace. When Miranda took up her current duties, she was given a room too. Lapenti has a private residence within Arnelia, but set up a workplace to make the job easier to do. At the same time, it was to appreciate her work, and to keep an eye on her.
Lapenti worked with Marduk, Ursula. There's Brandio's desk, but no one's sitting there, and the place where Ips was supposed to have been, had already been cleaned up every desk, but Kazas and Nia didn't know that. Kazas briefly explained to Lapenty how she had been so far that she opened her eyes slightly narrowed with fallen eyelids because of her age and answered in a nostalgic manner.
