The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles

"... I'm here to report,"

Tommy's voice echoes in a quiet room.

At the moment, there was no one there.

About Etoile.

"Yeah."

"Then I had to talk to the others. Have you received any reports from any of the men we've sent out across the country that Etoile has disappeared in the city where he stayed?

"... have you heard from anyone already?

"I don't work for them, but I heard them as part of a public story."

Tommy laughed at my words.

"There was a lot of noisy talk going on."

"... I can't deny it. So, did you get a report like that?

"Yes, there was. There was an unresolved case of missing persons."

"... how many of them are there?

"Thirty. But it's not actually turned into a case, and the total number may be higher."

"Anything in common with missing persons?

"Children between the ages of 5 and 15. Men and women alike, it's true."

"Where did the incident happen?

Instead of answering in words, Tommy wrote more and more circles on the map of the country.

From the viewpoint of King's Landing, red circles are gradually drawn to the east and south.

"What we now know is the Marquis of Beckford and the Marquis of Weston. Especially in the Marquis of Weston."

"What about the Marquis de Orcot?

"I haven't answered. Sometimes Etoile didn't go to the Marquis of Orcot in the first place."

He exhaled in Tommy's words.

... oh, that sucks.

Looks like we're all really crossing the red light.

I laughed so as to exhale the anger that boiled inside me.

It seems that when anger passes again and again, it makes you laugh.

"I kind of feel the best pressure in the past.... do you understand anything?

"Oh, I just figured out once again how harmful the Five Marquises are."

Tommy is looking at me to encourage me to go ahead.

"Apparently, the Marquises of Beckford were looking for a friend to take Etoile in."

"Heh... it's not a big deal to share the fun with your friends.... by the way, friends don't have anything to do with anything in between."

It seems that Tommy has noticed my sincerity.

... that the Marquises of Beckford were asking the Five Marquises of their own house to accept Etoile.

This means that the lords of each territory may have conspired to abduct the children.

"Isn't that what friends are?

Tommy smiled joyfully as if he had confirmed my response.

"... thank you. Really, the existence of the Five Marquises is only evil. I know exactly how it feels when Luceria exhales."

"... but it's still unclear why they kidnap children and what they value for them."

"And I wonder where they're going..."

"That's right...."

Face the map with a feeling of darkness.

I can't believe I didn't notice this whole series of incidents until now... my powers are still here.

In this way, the establishment of a magic school was another dream... and I was reminded of a part of the library.

"... aren't the missing children magical?

"Is it magical?

"Hmm. I hate to say this... but I hear that magic holders have many uses, so countries are gathering behind closed doors."

"... maybe. Tell your employees who are looking into the area to check it out."

"Their magic is useful at times like this."

His magic is vibration. Very versatile, it can speak like a phone, turn off noise and destroy matter.

"Well, if I don't work with someone who can 'move' magic far away from the boulder, I can't deliver words."

"Was it Dudley who used the 'Move' magic?

"Yes, that's right."

"I hear that the 'Move' magic can only move small objects, instead of being moved far away. Dudley and Tommy, you think it's a good move to take advantage of their traits?

"That's not a compliment, is it? Technically, the last time I thought this might help was when Alicia had a magical runaway. As a gardener, it's just right for her to fix the ground she broke. Otherwise, I haven't used it much lately."

He has two faces.

Face to face as a gardener.

And behind that is the secret.

It's funny to see him as a gardener playing with Alicia... but the more uncomfortable I feel at the same time, the different the atmosphere.

Light slapping doesn't change either face.

"That's what they say when they have power.... by the way, Tommy. Does he still look into the Marquis of Beckford?

"Yes, something may still come out."

I see. Then check the connection between the Marquis of Weston and the Marquis of Slade. The stories of your friends just now have no evidence, so... we're not out of speculation yet. "

"I understand."

And Tommy left the room without a sound.

I don't know if it's a technique that I've cultivated as a secret or if it's being erased by magic.

It was only certain that he had disappeared like smoke.
