The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

The imprisoned tower of the Fourth Princess of Avrola is said to be in the Imperial Palace of Diagilev.

As a result, we had to infiltrate the palace as soon as possible.

Ivan expected the mentor Gustave to use his elite to follow him when the Fourth Princess of Avrola was gone, so I'd like to bring Marie and Master Keel in to infiltrate if I can.

So the operation that Cardia and Theodore had in mind...

"I will see you first, Your Majesty. Enjoy our Black Cat Troupe tonight."

Me, Edward, and Dear Keel and Marie bowed their heads deeply between the feasts of the Imperial Palace of Diagilev.

(I had no idea me and Edward, who played the traveler, were so rumored to be in the emperor's ear)

Having obtained the information that Emperor Seraphim was inviting musicians, dancers, travelers, etc. to the castle every night for a feast, Cardia and Theodore actively spread the word about the Black Cat Theatre Company in the Imperial capital.

After negotiations with Ivan, the Black Cat Theatre Company gave a performance in a four-person system with Marie and Master Keel, who were called out to officials as they aimed and were to perform in front of the Emperor.

"Let me show you first from the sword dance"

Brace the bell around your hands and feet and dance the sword dance with the four of us.

With a champagne and a light noise, he turned to draw a circle, protruding around his sword to look gorgeous. To our sword dance, the guests of the feast were nailed.

(... that's Emperor Seraphim and his mentor Gustave.)

As I danced my sword, I watched the two of them sitting in a luxurious chair.

Emperor Seraphim looks young because of his illness or for a boy in his early teens. His eyes are full of cancer, and our sword dance is just in his eyes.

(As Ivan said, Emperor Seraphim looks like a doll....... really horrible)

Instructor Gustave sees it as a seemingly serene ordinary man. Is he in his mid-fifties? He wore gray-haired brown hair and a white coat that also looked like priestly clothing. But in his beauty eyes I felt a bottomless emptiness.

Instructor Gustave nods satisfactorily, laughing at Emperor Seraphim.

"It's a hit tonight, Your Majesty. I didn't know civilians could dance such a sophisticated sword dance... no, travelers can't be fools either"

"... you are"

Emperor Seraphim muttered with a voice without bosoli and discouragement.

(I can't believe I'm so close, but I can't get my hands on it... it's teething)

Eliminate Gustave, the mentor in power of the Diaghilev Empire, and the Kingdom of Rolands will have a good chance of winning this battle.

But then, there will be remorse between the two countries. And in this place, which is heavily guarded, we cannot even reach the Emperor's side.

(Still give up direct contact with Emperor Seraphim and decide before dawn, as Cardia and Theodore planned)

When we finish the sword dance, we get to the theatre this time.

The feast has just begun.
