The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

Ever since we rescued the Fourth Empress Avrola, we have been in a hurry to rendezvous with Marie and Master Keel. But since the signal bullet went up, many of the soldiers of the Diaghilev Empire are moving around looking for someone.

We were hiding in the shadows and gazing around.

"There you go. You can't move around like this."

This one doesn't like direct combat, starting with the non-combatant Avrola Fourth Crown Princess. You can't be clever enough to fight while protecting, and you have too many enemies to break through forcefully.

"It's a realistic way for me to take the lead and clear the way..."

"I don't know how much I can let Second Prince Edward get ahead of me because he's the strongest of these!

"By the way, I'm just a thief, so it's not for fighting."

"I'm sorry, I just can't..."

Avrola Fourth Empress grabbed the hem of the dress with a soggy face.

I grin at her to reassure her.

"It's okay. If the soldiers make it past here, then nothing is wrong -... foreword withdrawn. I'll do everything I can to escape...!

A pair of soldiers finally found us hiding in the shadows.

When they breathe heavily, they cry out to the soldiers on their side.

"There's nobody over here! Looks like the intruder is in the back more......!

"I'm not giving you a clue! I'm the one who's gonna be born. Ahhh!

(... what do you mean...?

The pair of soldiers deliberately said something to keep their allies away from here. I couldn't understand what that meant, but I'm stunned to see their faces slowly approaching.

"... Long time no see, sister. I'm surprised you're in the Diaghilev Empire."

"... vee"

There stood my dear brother, Vincent, in the army uniform of the Diaghilev Empire.

You remember conspiring with my father to lock me up in the Lewis family mansion, Vincent looks like that at first sight.

(... next time I saw him, though I wasn't even going to quit the sibling fight...)

When I saw Vincent on a mission in the land of a distant neighbour, my trivial anger blew away.

When I rush over on a small run, I hug Vincent out of my mind.

"Glad you're okay, Vee!

"Neither did your sister."

Vincent turned his arms around my back just a little bit and deepened his embrace.

"Hey, Vincent. Don't I have a reunion greeting?

"Huh? Why should I care about the cattle bugs that gather on my sister? By and large, you knew I was in the Diagilev Empire on a Secret Service mission."

"... I was only expecting you, but I didn't know you were really there. Glad to see more of my handkerchiefs, Vincent."

"Don't get on with it, Beast Demon King"

Vincent turns a sword-soaked eye to Edward, who is amused.

Doing so, the young man next to Vincent reluctantly raised his hand.

"Um, I'm sorry about the excitement, but would you mind paying attention to me too..."

"Absolutely. Long time no see, Yuan. I wonder if all the Askis are well."

"It's been a while, Julianna. Wow...!

Vincent's maternal cousin, Viscount Yuan Askis, the Rest Warrant, spreads his hands and rushes to me.

"... stay away from your sister, you color-loved birdhead. I have a blood connection to you, but I'm embarrassed."

"If you're going after my fiancée, even if he's your father's Secret Service, I'm going to slash him down here now."

"Hino, have mercy, Your Highness, Vincent!

Vincent and Edward turned their sword tips to Yuan, as they breathed together.

Yuan is crawling to the ground with the momentum to sit down and beg forgiveness.

"... it's a headache that intelligence agents from other countries are being distracted by soldiers guarding the castle"

Ivan laughs at the Fourth Empress Avrola, who groaned with a dark eye.

"What are you gonna do with the enemy, Avrola?"

"Except for this one."

"Excuse me, my witch"

Ivan, with all due respect, shifts his gaze to Vincent.

"I want to rendezvous with my allies in a hurry, so can I ask you to guide me to the central garden at the rendezvous point?

"... Marie and you're an asshole keel. Then I'd rather pick him up directly than head to the central garden."

"Vee, how did you know it was Marie and Master Keel?

"That's right, Mr. Julianna. The two of you fought the general..."

"Yuan!"

Vincent stuffed Yuan with an amazing sword screen.

But Yuan just waves his hand hilariously, and he doesn't look frightened by it.

"You're not hiding anything else. You'll find out anyway. And since I left him here, he said that the beautiful lady and Captain Keel were safe."

"... something happened to Marie and Master Keel?

As I inquired, Vincent shook his fist forcefully.

"... Marie was badly injured in a battle with the General of the Diagilev Empire. Because I'm on a mission, I can only watch it..."

"It's okay, Vee. Marie is strong. Even Master Keel with me is strong. You are a good looking child. [M] You decided that if you came in to help, there was nothing you could do, right? Besides, he left me some help. You found us faster than anyone else, and you saved us."

As I stretched my back and stroked Vincent's head, I turned my face to Edward.

"... let's hurry, Edward"

"Ask for guidance. Vincent, Yuan"

"I know you don't have to tell me"

"Yes, Your Highness!

We run out to rendezvous with Marie and Master Keel.

Apparently, thanks to the driving of Vincent and Yuan, most of the soldiers of the Diaghilev Empire headed elsewhere.

He went down the path of the fortified castle and went out to a place lined with two-story buildings.

Probably a building used by the military and servants. I don't see any soldiers. Instead, Master Keel carrying Marie and Sam were there for some reason.

"Oh, your husband, you're late."

That's what I said. Sam waved to Vincent.

"General Belinski must have sprinkled it, didn't he?

"That's no longer necessary. I work for money."

"... Sam, you were hired by Vincent. I didn't say anything then."

If I turn a jittery eye, Sam laughs out a hella.

Then Marie pulled Sam's ear.

"Did you work disrespect for the lady?

"Come on, man! I helped you, but you're kidding!

"And this is a different story."

When Marie says pale, she descends from Master Keel's back and meets me.

On her flank, the blood was spread over a large white apron.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. Such a lapse..."

"Marie, what you did alive is proof that you lived up to my expectations."

"... thank you"

"Just a little bit harder, Marie."

When I look at them all, I ask Vincent.

"Vee, choosing this place means the soldiers can't find you and you have a way out, right?

"There is a secret hole for the soldiers of the dormitories to get out of the city. I know only a limited number of soldiers, so if they don't see me leaving, I don't think they'll catch up. I think it will soon be told that me and Yuan have betrayed the Empire, and I'm going to run away from here with my sisters."

When Edward heard it, he put his hand on his chin and looked at the idea.

"... the numbers have increased, and let's speed up the plans for the former Baroness of Remington and Theodore a little. I'm keeping the carriage waiting outside the walls. Let's go."

"Okay."

Taking the hand offered by nature and Edward, I went straight to the secret hole, guided by Vincent and Yuan.

The secret hole was built on a wall in the corner of the training ground, fitted with grey light stones. Vincent takes it off with his accustomed hand and goes straight outside.

After all went out, we went into the little grove where the carriage was hidden.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for you!

"Something's growing in numbers. It's a front carriage, but I guess the weight is okay. It's getting noisy outside the castle, so get on it."

Monica and the Grey Cat, seated on your stand, were waiting for us.

When we hurry up to the carrier, we completely block sight from the outside under our cover. When Monica noticed Marie's injury, she moved to the carrier to remove the medicine and the gauze and bandage for hemostasis.

"Mr. Marie, I'll make allowance"

"Please, Monica"

I breathed in relief.

If you look next door, Edward rolls up his front and talks to the grey cat.

"Prince, where are we going?

A gray cat holding the whip asked Edward.

"It's a trading city - the Root Castle of the revolutionary government."

"I was going to take the princess to hide myself for a while. Well, no, I'm gonna fly, so we're not all gonna bite our tongues."

When the grey cat says so, he runs the carriage mumbling cheerful songs.

Along the way, without being held back, we escaped the Empire -
