The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 49: Mystery Revealed

The prison holding the inmates sentenced to detention is next to a knight garrison.

Basically, visits are not allowed, and even families need to go through one month in advance.

However, it was possible to deliver the items after inspecting their contents.

But those rules were irrelevant to Ernest, a member of the nobility.

If you dive outside the prison surrounded by tall walls, a guide was waiting to see if the talk was going first.

Around the, many patrol knights in the prison were wandering around.

Knights are now all watched for him. Bernard wore a hood over his cloak so he couldn't find him.

The first floor was dim and the second floor was relatively bright with white walls. The guide explains that this is the level that houses the noble sinners.

The room at the end of the walk along the corridor is where Agnes' father, Scherrard Reverge, is being detained.

"Visit time is about 15 minutes"

"Do you get it"

The guide unlocks the room.

When Bernard saw Ernest's face, he waved lightly, saying, "Be careful." I realize I'm not going to be with me and thank in my heart.

Behind the door was a white wall, a mahogany desk, a leather chaise lounge, and a patron of a noble mansion. It doesn't look like a space that restrains sinners.

The only thing that was noticeable was that there was a solid bar between the doorway and the room.

Agnes' father, Sherard Leverge, was gracefully relaxed, but looked at the incoming Bernard and looked suspiciously.

Curiously, you are well dressed. It looked only like a noble and elegant gentleman.

Gernal hair is mixed with white hair, and Bernard receives the impression that he seems to be nervous. Fragments have no resemblance to Agnes.

Sherard Leverge slowly rises up and sits down in a one-person chair in front of the bar, talking.

"Since I came here, only the bad guys come to see me ... are you?"

"……I do not know"

At a glance at Sherard Revelge, Bernard decides that he shouldn't be in a bad (fresh) attitude, and deliberately speaks out.

"You are young. Are you still a kid?"

"..."

Asking a question, Sherard L'Averge laughs at his nose when he sees Bernard, who is tensely alert.

And he said something that was at the core.

"-Huh. Did you come to hear your late wife's" Special Story "anyway?"

"It's surprisingly light."

"Well, it's information I don't know the details for. It doesn't make sense to say."

It used to be a rumor in the social world.

Now she is dead, and Agnes' mother is called Koganehime.

They were two people with bright gold hair and beautiful appearance. But there was another reason.

There were rumors about her parents hiding a great deal of gold. Therefore, it was also called a princess with a golden fortune.

And everyone whispers-the one who married the Golden Princess is the happiest person in the world.

"I'm the happiest person in the world, but how does it look?"

"Looks like the best unhappy person in the world"

Sheard Reverge laughs as she shakes her shoulders after hearing Bernard's honest impressions.

"Well, I can't deny."

After all, he says that his wife has never spoken of hidden property.

"Well, that's it. No matter how much you ask me, nothing comes out."

"……got it"

Bernard will play a scythe once to get more information.

`` In this case, I used 'wife's reserve' to put money into private politics, that is, a hidden gold bullion, but I used the national gold because I could not find it. Is it all right? "

"Well, that's right."

If you muttered that you did something you couldn't do, you mocked that you were right.

First, the first question is solved. Next, I asked the second question.

"then--"

"Before that, could you show your face and give yourself a name?"

"..."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't say anything more. Well, I might look at my face and not talk."

I knew that hiding my face would distrust others. This is also one of the assumptions. He must have been a former minister and has performed a variety of abdominal acts. Bernard knew it was a tough raccoon to confront.

After hesitation for a moment, he removed his hood.

"Isn't it a boy again?"

Sherard Leverge stated that he was the youngest ever to come.

"name is?"

"Bernard"

"What is your house name?"

"Orrelian"

"Oh, you're a Viscount man with territory in the southwest."

Bernard's hometown is a rural area that nobody knows, so he thought he had no idea. But Sherard Leverge knew the country's territory.

Sweat your forehead to find out if you got your name early.

"Occupation is a knight-it's a hit"

"Come on, how are you?"

"No, it's a knight."

"Why do you think so?"

She says she was convinced that she was the correct answer because of her subtle expression. When Bernard heard the answer, he felt horrible that he could not hide.

"So let's ask a question."

"--Ah"

What is most worrisome is who came here. Who was most interested in hidden property?

I am convinced that the other party has taken Agnes.

However, my father did not want to leak information about Agnes if possible. Think about how to explore.

"It's about who came here--"

"What do you do when you hear it?"

I asked a question, but I was heard back and got stuck in words.

Through my thoughts on what to make as an excuse, there is no good idea.

The visit time was ticking. Even the time of silence is regrettable.

When she feels impatient and sweats on her forehead, Sherard Leverge speaks.

"Hmm. You are that."

"what?"

"Maybe-no, surely a good guy."

"What?"

"I know you've fought with various fiends in words so far. You're not a bad guy, and you're a good guy."

She asks Bernard to do a deal. He suggested that if satisfactory results were obtained, information would be provided.

"I can't take part in crime"

"Oh, you know, what a small wish."

From a generous smile, it suddenly becomes a serious look.

The wish was a very important thing for him and was a remorse.

"I want you to find my daughter and protect her."

"e?"

"Do you know your daughter? I'm Agnes, a beautiful and kind child."

From the face of a cunning politician, to the face of a father who cares about his daughter in an instant.

Bernard doubted that this was acting. Judgment on this occasion is difficult.

If you were worried, the other side noticed the change first.

"Do you know anything? Where is your daughter? Is it safe?"

Stand up, cling to the bar, and ask.

I saw that it wasn't acting, as I saw the violence.

Make a decision and tell the truth.

"I protected her."

"!"

"But I was taken away."

"what!?"

Sherard Leverge hits the bar with a fist. The metal sound only sounded empty. Perhaps because my knees loosened my strength, I sat down in my chair.

"... Yeah, so that's why I wanted to know who came here. It's the one who abducted."

"……Ah"

He held his head and exhaled deeply.

Bernard briefly and briefly tells Schellard Reverge why he helped protect Agnes. I refrained from taking over as a servant.

"Yes, Agnes, you are--"

"Do you believe?"

"Is there evidence?"

"..."

I had the necklace of Agnès' mother, but decided not to show it yet.

Another piece of evidence: Search for special information in your memory that no one knows.

Suddenly, I remember something and say it.

"She had a mole near the top of her chest."

"What?"

"Do you know your father?"

"I don't know the location of my mole!"

"Is that something ...?"

Knowing that this is not proof, Bernard drops his shoulder.

While looking at the pattern on the carpet for something else, Sherard Leverge suddenly stood up and grabbed the grate. He hears a bang and a loud metal noise, and is surprised and looks up.

"You have a clear face! Why do you know where the mole is on your daughter's chest?"

"--Ah"

I was pointed out and noticed.

That's not the information I could tell my father.

"Where did you see it ?? Why did you see it ?? Why did you get that situation?"

Despite being blamed, Bernard has no idea what to explain.

"Well, it's almost time for the visit to end. Just the information about the suspicious guy-"

I'm staring at it.

If you say it's only three minutes, shout that it's ridiculous and give the name of a person.

"Kuss, remember!… The most suspicious thing is Blondel's fox guy!"

"Blondel ...!"

It was the name of a man who supported the Knights' Lieutenant-Commander-in-Chief.

After all, I was convinced that it was a human crime inside the Knights.

Johan Blondel.

He was the second son of the Earl Family, a serious man who had long devoted his sword to the country for many years.

I often heard rumors that many subordinates were depressed.

Bernard is terrified at the surprise of the unexpected enemy.

But a more serious enemy was in front of me.

"Now, let's talk to me for the other two minutes ... I know more about moles on my daughter's chest."

"!"

――After that, Bernard spent a long, long two minutes.
