The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 6: The troublesome situation surrounding Agnes

Morning.

Bernal, getting ready, went to the dining room

In the cafeteria, Jizil serves as usual.

Frozen egg and fried bacon on a crescent-shaped bread coated with sugar. Vegetable soup, hot café au lait full of milk and sugar. It is a dining table as usual.

Overall, Bernard asked Jizil a question.

"Hey, Jizil."

"Yes"

"... Ah, what is he?"

"Is it Carol? Is it Ceria?"

"Don't blur!"

Carroll and Celia are Jizil's daughters. He is currently fifteen and twins.

Bernard was concerned about Agnes, who had just arrived at the Orleans.

Moderately teasing, Jizil tells her husband about the new servant's schedule.

"Agnès Reverge works today from afternoon to night."

She seemed very tired, so she said she decided.

"If you are dissatisfied, can you change it?"

"No, no, it won't do much anyway."

Jizil smiles without replying to her husband's rant. He knew Bernard's remarks were something he had no mind.

When the talk is over, start eating.

On the way, Eric brought a newspaper on the silver tray.

Opening the newspaper while chewing on bread because he doesn't have time even though he knows he is behaving badly.

Still, Agnes' father was treated as a one-sided article.

Yesterday, there was a first trial, and I was charged with violating the National Capital Standards Act.

It seems that the king had also appeared in this trial. He said he had relied on Sherard Leverge, the longtime minister, and was angry when he knew he had been betrayed in the case, the article said.

"--Ah!"

Bernard realizes why the surrounding nobles do not assist Agnès.

Reaching out to the daughter of the Reverge family in the middle of the affair, the king will be dissatisfied. Therefore, no one helped for protection.

"-Bad poop!"

Bernard discarded the newspaper he had barely read, rolling it around on the floor.

Aristocratic societies are not turning around with justice and humanity. I know, but if you do this in a visible way, you feel sick.

Although he has lost his appetite, the knight is capitalized.

The bread was poured in a cafe au lait, and the eggs and bacon were chewed well and swallowed with the soup.

Since the carriage time was approaching, I decided to go to work quickly.

◇◇◇

Bernard goes to the changing room of the barracks and changes into a costume.

Weared a navy brushed material (velvet), wore black pants and fastened with a belt.

I wore armor from the top and tied a scarlet cloak with the unit's seal on the shoulder bracket.

Bernard is a member of the "Special Assault Unit 3", a special unit that is dispatched in cases where the situation is rough, such as suppression of criminals such as occupation of important bases and violent activities, and entry assistance for foreclosures as we did recently. It is. There are seven units in all, and Bernard belongs to a few elite units.

We carry out intense training every day to improve individual abilities.

I went to the dining room in the daytime.

Although there was a canteen for executives only for deputy commanders and higher, there were rumors that eating around the captains of each unit was not comfortable, so I never used it.

Therefore, lunch was done in the central cafeteria, which was crowded with knights seeking meals.

First, check the items (menu) at the entrance.

A lot of people were gathering here too. Bernard, taller than the surrounding knights, looked into the board with the menu.

Daily set meal set (bread, spicy meat skewers, cheese soup, stir-fried vegetables, fish crispy sauce)

Meat noodles (Omori is a copper coin + 1 piece)

Omori set meal (all-you-can-eat bread, grilled meat chunks with herbs, meat soup)

There are not many cafeterias that offer meals for knights. However, it was cheap and tasted reasonably good.

I handed my meal ticket to the person in charge, as usual, to have a daily set meal.

Sit in a vacant seat in the dining room full of knights.

"--Oh, it's Bernard!"

I happened to meet my former colleague Gibril today.

"I hope to meet you recently ... is this fate?"

"You should sit down."

I advised Jibril to tap the light mouth and sit down because the front seat was vacant.

Speaking, he starts talking before he starts eating.

The topic was about the trial of Agnes's father, Sherard Leverge, and he was open. The same goes for the surrounding knights.

"I'm sorry, that girl, too. He seems to have been barred from seeing his father since the trial. He was the only immediate relative."

Agnès Reverge's mother says she has died during her childhood, and Gibril touches on personal information.

"I guess no one would be crazy to protect the daughter of the Reverges, who is angry with the king.

Bernard heard the words and suddenly began to choke. Gibril, a friend's thought, stands and beats his back.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"... oh, oh"

The crazy man (Bernard), who protected Agnes with a light feeling, drank water and calmed down.

I knew that my heart was beating.

I'm regretted that I have done something ridiculous.

"So it seems that the investigative department of the squad reports that some people are saying something strange behind the scenes."

"What is it?"

"Anyone wants to make Agnès Leverage a mistress."

"What?"

"Yo, it's okay if you enclose the king so that it doesn't fall out."

There were many who wanted to make that beautiful daughter a mistress. However, if you enclose Agnes, you will be more criticized than the social world.

If so, you should take it to the back society, not to the public.

"In other words, I want to take her to gambling halls, drug trafficking, slave trafficking ..."

Those who have made a leap in the underworld have long been a gang of knights trying to wipe out the royal capital.

However, the reality is that it is difficult to crack down on people and things coming and going intensely.

"That's why nobles are involved."

"I can't grasp the tail."

"That's why we need Agnes to cooperate, and that kind of story is emerging."

"..."

A noble and noble Agnes Reverge will be able to get around even if you conduct an infiltration survey.

However, Bernard recalls Agnes last night.

I sat down next to me to sit down, and approached suddenly to read the contract.

Is it missing or distracted?

He couldn't seem to be a girl who could take a man in his beanbag and play around with the backstreet.

I think in my heart that it is not possible, but not impossible.

"So--"

"!"

Listen to Gibril and return to me.

"What's wrong?"

"No, can you talk about the secrets of your troops here and there?"

"OK, OK. Maybe."

"..."

Stand up with a deep sigh.

"Oh, hey, Bernard, the story is still ..."

"Silence is gold, eloquent is silver"

"What is it?"

"Words of foreign philosophers"

Leave the word and leave the dining room.

Even at the troop resting area, the story of the L'Averge family was unlimited.

Lazar, the captain of, denies the rumor of the rumored Agnes infiltration investigation.

"I don't think there's any. If you're going to do that, you have the King's permission, and at the moment you're just angry at the name, why not?"

By the way, the king who was written in the newspaper seems to be a shadow warrior.

The person himself was working with an unknown face.

"Well, now that the Prime Minister has gone, I have no time to go to trial."

If the bell rings after the break, call out to resume training.

The members of the Special Assault Unit 3 went to the courtyard.

◇◇◇

After work, Bernard changes into private clothes and goes home.

I got on the carriage and returned to my home in the woods.

I was working overtime today, so the area was completely dark.

Follow the unlit streets with your familiar steps.

By the way, I was hurt by the problem of Agnes.

Should you report to your supervisor or not?

I can't answer.

I sighed big and opened the door.

I was surprised to see Agnies at the entrance.

"--Welcome back, master"

Watching Agnes greet her with a beautiful smile, Bernard was almost dizzy in many ways.
