The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

Before dawn there were the fewest guards, and it was also the time when people's thoughts worked the least.

"… as you should, shall we move before the sun rises"

The rooms provided were quite sumptuous, but the sun was poor and the ladies who were taken care of tend to skip work. It sucks when it comes to hospitality.

The sincerity of the imperial side, which insults us that we are travellers, was read.

But for us, it's a great welcome.

The rooms are not equipped with security forces far from the royal quarters. If a thief attacked me, I wouldn't have a stack, but I could also say it was convenient for me to sneak out.

"Me and Julianna head to the tower where Empress Avrola IV is imprisoned and rendezvous with Ivan. and persuade her to take her out of the tower in the shortest possible time"

"Master Keel and Marie will be in charge of Yang Dynasty. No matter how much before dawn, this is the place that forms the backbone of the Diaghilev Empire. It's a dangerous role, but I want to break the guard a little... please."

"Flashy please. Our most reliable sword is you."

Me and Edward give their faithful ministers dangerous orders to cross with the elite of the Diaghilev Empire in just two.

Master Keel and Marie nodded proudly, without even cowering.

"Ed, lady. Leave it to me and you!

"I'm glad to accept"

Me and Edward see the look on my subordinate's face and smile invincibly.

If these two are here, they are realistic in the implementation of the plans put in place by Cardia and Theodore.

"Let's start with securing Avrola Fourth Princess. Let the Empire blow a bubble! Hey, Edward."

"Instead of a bubble, this one is going to destroy the country itself. Then we shall begin our action. Let's all meet again without a shortage."

And we split into two hands and took a step toward the Diaghilev Empire Revolution.

An intermittent explosion sounds a little further away.

Apparently, Marie is using the explosives she brought in to carry out a good maneuvering operation. Me and Edward are headed toward the tower, hiding in thin darkness. The soldiers I saw from time to time rushed to those who made explosions without even looking at them.

Seeing them like that, I leaned my neck.

The actions of the soldiers of the guard, as far as I am concerned, are gratifying, but some doubts remain.

"... guards are docked near the tower. Although it is true that the Fourth Empress Avrola is also a secret presence of the people, and it is about Ivan who tries to capture her until she commits a danger..."

When something unforeseen happens, it's normal for soldiers on watch to rush to the scene. However, it should be natural to leave a minimum level of security.

Have you noticed my thoughts, Edward who walks with me also looks bitter.

"The escort at the feast was perfect enough to make you think it was an empire. But every one near the tower is like an amateur. I don't even have the foundation for an escort to be taught in cadet school."

"I wonder if there's a shortage of talent in the war. Maybe Edward's right... they're amateurs as your escort, aren't they? Just like Sam the Mercenary did with the Gendarmerie."

"That's possible. So it may be easy to poke a security hole, but when it comes to combat, you won't be more forgiving than a bad knight"

"You've never crossed the line to not fight."

With greater tension, we rely on the map we received from Ivan to rush to the imprisoned tower of the Fourth Princess of Avrola, where we arrived a few minutes later.

The tower is old and poorly maintained for the crown princess to be closed, with all the coal-fired bricks collapsing. The crawling grass is covering up half the tower again, and if you look at it without knowing anything, you're going to be convinced even if they say it's a haunted or vampire residence.

"... Exactly, do the watches on Avrola Fourth Princess's Tower get caught up in the Yang Dynasty"

Edward looked at the soldiers holding back at the entrance to the tower and glanced at them.

"I wonder if there are three of them. If you get hit from the front, it's gonna be hard for me and Edward to deal with it alone."

No matter how much of a martial arts preference you have, it's hard to deal with a soldier in his position at once. Even if we could take one or two down, if someone calls reinforcements, we'd die in one shot.

"Where's Ivan? Promise you'll meet me near here."

"Did you call?

Suddenly, a colorful man's voice was whispered in his ear. Me and Edward push and kill the scream that came out desperately, staring at Ivan the culprit.

"Hey, don't surprise me. You almost screamed and let your enemies know where you are...!

"Julianna, let's use this foolish thief as a scam."

"That's a good idea, Edward. Avrola, let's use it before we meet the Fourth Princess."

"Terrible, the princess and the prince."

When Ivan took out of his nostrils a vial containing a dark green liquid, he pressed it against me.

"I'm waiting outside, it's a plug from the princess's samurai. Elephants sleep in three seconds, too. Because it is highly volatile, it is good to let it swallow or stain the cloth to suck."

"That's Monica. It's a nasty plug."
