The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn
Ten stories, indelible roses.
tricks, tricks and my footsteps in the dark.
Third week since infiltrating Wang Du Church as Ellen. This is my first night shift.
Night shift is a two-person system where one person looks around the ward and the other waits in the night room.
Martha said it was a battle with the sleeper.
My pair today were Anne.
Since the job description is also about taking turns looking around, there was nothing in particular from Ann to say instruction.
I look around the ward... I was supposed to.
He found a suspicious passage in the middle of the lookout.
I've looked around the King's Capital Church since I infiltrated it, but I can't find a place like where I'm doing Sabato.
A suspicious passage I found in that.
I had no choice but to confirm.
I felt uncomfortable walking down the aisle.
The colour of the walls is the same as that of other passages, but the materials are different.
It seemed like a razor and an old dirt wall.
Old walls in a building just recently built...... this belongs to the previous King's Metropolitan Church?
There's a mixture of old churches and new churches?
Oh, I don't know because I've never played an architect on a boulder...
But there must be something at the end of this aisle.
I thought so, and there were signs of people trying to move on.
From the footsteps, it belongs to an adult male.
Well, what do we do?
I don't know the structure of this passage.
"You're totally busy. Well, there's a lot of money coming in just busy. Sabato on the absolution note, squeezing money from civilians and nobles... how delightful"
Father Michael, a priest of the Wang Capital Church, had a humble grin and was walking through the church at midnight.
After a while I see a white shadow ahead.
He has a lantern that emits all kinds of light and walks.
Michael realized that the figure was the girl wearing the monastic clothes of an apprentice nurse.
"Apprentice there, what are you doing. This is a restricted area."
With the utmost vigilance, Michaels stared at the girl.
(Spies on the king's side have been mixed up in the meantime... well, it wouldn't be a big deal to find them so easily)
The moment the girl looked back, she was a michael who stood up to cut with a knife, but was stunned to see the girl looking back.
"Oh, oh, I finally got to meet people. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Girl - Ellen was crying and even popping her snot in a grand way.
Dirty and crying Ellen.
Michael immediately abandoned the possibility that the girl was a spy.
In the meantime, hand over the handkerchief. Michael gives it to Ellen.
"What's up? At this late hour... are you looking around for a night shift?
"Yes. My first look around today... I walked down the aisle I didn't know, and I couldn't go back."
Ellen the Subizite snorted in momentum. I don't hesitate.
"Well, this is a restricted area. It was supposed to be a punishment for breaking in here, but let's forgive it for today. I'll take you to the ward."
"Thank you...... are you a priest!?
Just noticed, Ellen was surprised.
The rosary you're raising on Mikhail's chest is something special.
Because it is something that only those who are at the top of the priests are allowed to raise.
"Have you noticed by now?"
"Sorry, I looked embarrassed without knowing the priest..."
That's what I say and look up. Ellen's face shows respect.
The face of an admirer who admires him unconditionally because he is a priest.
That greatly satisfied Mikhail's self-esteem.
(It sounds a little silly, but it's an easy apprenticeship to handle... might be good for my new pawn)
"Nothing good. Your name, by the way."
"It's Ellen! I'm a new apprentice nurse."
"Right. Then Ellen, the ward is this way."
Michael and Ellen walked side by side and headed to the ward.
When I got to the ward, Anne showed up with a surprised look on her face.
Ellen was worried about finding it.
"Mr. Ellen! - And Father Mikhail... sorry for the inconvenience."
"I don't mind. See you later, Ellen."
"Yes, thank you"
Ellen thanked Michael with a respectful look.
Mikhail, satisfied with it, returns to the restricted area.
"Already, Mr. Ellen. Are you an idiot to get lost in a ward, Doji?
"No, no, I'm sorry, Ann!
Pulp and fist gripping Ann smiled and intimidated Ellen.
Ellen's first night shift then ended as she withstood the pressure from Ann.
I fell asleep in my room as soon as the night shift dawned.
The day after the night shift is closed for one day.
I waited all day in the dorm room to check the work flow of my dorm mother, Mr. Cattleya.
That's how quickly the day passes and midnight.
I was wrapped in a futon, but I could hardly sleep.
Second, I was remembering what happened on the night shift.
After hearing the footsteps of the man, I decided not to run away and play 'Ellen I got lost unintentionally'. Though I was surprised to say that a man is the head of a priest.
And the man - the handkerchief that Father Michael offered me.
It was made of fine silk and was not an easy item for a priest to give to a sniffling girl. From there, he deduced that Father Michael was involved in the darkness of the King's Capital Church.
I played a faithful believer because I seemed to like being worshipped or my self-evident desire to be satisfied.
I don't know if there's going to be any contact from Father Michaels, but for now, I won't be thinking that I'm a spy because I broke into the restricted area.
We need to find out what's ahead of the restricted area next.
As I conceived many things, a tiny stone struck the window.
I got out of bed and opened the window, taking care not to make any noise.
Then a black shadow enters the room.
Black shadow - a woman dressed in a black robe takes the hood.
What showed up was a beauty with dark eyes in her caramel colored hair. This is my maid Marie.
"You're late, Marie."
"I'm sorry, lady. It took longer than I thought. And I had a little trouble finding your daughter's room."
Marie's gaze was directed at the salmon pink rosemaking lived at the window.
"I put my mark on you."
"But I didn't think it was a dark room hidden in a tree."
"Oh, I can't see the inside of the room with a tree, and I can't believe there's a room for one... isn't that the best intelligence environment?
"Ladies, ladies - no, don't imitate the Second Prince's best intelligence environment at infiltration, etc."
"Yes, sir. I'm sorry, Marie. So, did you bring any useful information?
"Yes. Tomorrow - today to be exact - there is a possibility that Sabato will take place in Wang Du Church"
"Are you sure about that?
"Yes, there have been movements in some ecclesiastical aristocracy, and I have asked for information that there are people heading to Wang Du Church and staying in Wang Du's mansion"
"... there are no signs of nobility in the church. If so, will there be a dedicated entrance for the nobles?
Then I'll focus on you.
"Please. I will try to infiltrate Sabat. Because I found a place that might have something to do with it."
"Isn't that... dangerous"
Marie looks at me with worried eyes.
"There are no times when it's not dangerous. Besides, it's just a look."
"Please be very careful"
"Yeah, I know."
"I'll come back, then. Lady, have a good dream."
Marie jumped out the window. But it doesn't even sound like a landing.
"That's right, Marie"
I closed the window while hanging words of labor on the disappeared Marie.
I'm going to be busy tomorrow.
With that in mind, I went back into bed.
When I closed my eyelids, I was able to fall right into a slight sleep this time.
