Episode 13: I'm here because I don't have one * 2

That's how the trial began...

'Seems' because I didn't go to court. [M]Carnelia doesn't go either.Reconnaissance, that's all. Claire, Interlia, and Faye just went to the trial.

I don't want Carnelia to get into the eyes of Ziolen and the Drabs.That's why we're leaving a message.

Carnelia and I sit in front of the woods on a stump while we warm each other's birds.

Will you shut up, Olevi-sama?

"I don't think I can expect much..."

"That's right....."

Carnelia sighs and strokes Phoenix.Phoenix leans her head on Carnelia's lap and feels the comfort of being gently caressed.Looks happy.

My phoenix seems to like to cover me with wings from my back, so my back is loose.Instead, there is a tube fox on the knee.Because I love being stroked by this guy.

"If Phoenix becomes public, it could be a lot harder."

"Maybe we should reopen it like a fake."

"That's right...I admire Oniisama a little bit. "

Yeah, me too.

The magnificent, clear judgment of Faye, bright and sociable place.I have a little yearning for you, too.

"... I'm a long way from Oniisama Fei.We have to work harder. "

"Yeah, me too...."

I'd better be a little more grand, less indecisive, bright and sociable.Yeah, I have to do my best...

"You look depressed."

Lyla brought the basin when we were thinking about Fei a little bit compared to ourselves.

"It's sweet when you're not feeling well.And it's still cold, so it's warm.Yes, please. "

And Lyla offers us a mug.The contents of the mug are milkshakes.Lyla and Claire are talking about adding it to the fairy café menu the other day.

"So, what's the matter?Have you ever been depressed?... ah, are you worried about the trial?

Lyla takes her cup and sits on the stump across from us.

"Yes, but now we're both depressed by the fact that we're far from Fay."

"Ha, ha? What is that?"

"Even if they know about Phoenix, they want to be magnificent."

"Ah, that's right...."

Lyla nodded, "I know Carnelia, but do you have corn?Though I looked like a ', I nodded.I want to be as dressed and majestic as Faye.

"... well, Master Fai is a nobleman.I think it's a natural one.Behavior belongs to people who stand on top of others.Or are you good at ignoring malicious voices? "

Lyla drinks the contents of the cup while saying that.Because I am a cat tongue, I blow milkshake and wait until the temperature is cool enough to drink.It's a little interesting that when you breathe in the cup, the hot air comes out fluffy.

"Nothing, I don't think you guys are good at that."

If you were enjoying the fluffiness of the water, Lyla would say such a thing, so I hurriedly raised my face.Lyla smiled a little and looked at my face and drank another sip of milkshake.

"That's good. He said he was hurt or in trouble because he was maliciously pointed at.It's okay to have someone like that. "

"... is that so?Don't you depend on me?

"If all of us could be trusted, it wouldn't be worth it."

Okay, it's worth relying on...No, no, I understand.Yeah....

"... and yet, when you look at me, I feel a little gentle.I wonder if you can remember that people are harmful creatures. "

Lyla smiles a little and looks at us.

... it's a bit complicated for us to look at us and say, "People remind us of hurting creatures."

Milkshake, are you refilling?

"I want it!

"I'll be a little cooler."

But certainly, there are people like us, so maybe the world is a little peaceful...

I'm home.

A few days later, Faye and the others came back.

It seems that two women and one Faye can ride a Red Dragon.It was the return of the Red Dragon.

"Ah, I'm tired.It's been a long time, and there's also this kind of costume, this kind of research. "

Crowe followed the fade in his secretarial style, so he looks a little cramped in his tight skirt.It's a fresh kanji...

... hmm? Survey?

"Oh, I've been watching the Dioren family for a while.I wonder how you feel about the Mansion.I was a little late to come back. "

I see.

For some reason, it seems that Mr. Crowe has been watching the Dioren family.The point is, it seems to be the Mansion, not the people.

... why?

"You're tired too, aren't you, Interlia?You've been watching, haven't you?

"I see... you were either nervous or nervous."

Interlia smiles a little bit.... certainly, the King's City and the courts don't seem to be the type you're good at.

"Sorry, Interlia-san.It was better for me to have one knight, and I thought it would be better to have one close to Carnelia. "

"You don't have to feel bad about anything.There were no occasions when I could be useful as a knight this time, but I think I got useful information as a position to protect Carnelia.It's good to have you with us. "

I see. Then I'd be happy to. "

Faye laughed a little and said that... and then he taught me the details of the trial.

"In the meantime, I heard about Phoenix from the Olevi family.I can't help it. "

"I knew it...."

"Well, if we can get Phoenix's eyewitness information, we'll be shocked enough to blow up all the suspicions on our house, and I don't know why."

That's what Faye said and sighed.

... now we know where Phoenix is.So, is Carnelia going to spend some time hiding, or is she going to spend some time majestically reopening like Fei?

"... for now, Phoenix is a magically never weak creature.Because the connection with Carnelia is so strong, Carnelia will hardly be able to ignore Phoenix's will and be stolen by human magic. "

"I'm worried about Carnelia-sama's body and mind.This is where your family's been holed up and hurt... at all!

Interlia is angry.Yeah, I want to be a little angry, too.I wonder why there are so many things to stand on...It's all connected, so I can't help it...

"Well, we'll help you out there.Luckily, Carnelia is strong.Even if they told me to sell Phoenix, I'd say no. "

That's what Faye said and waved to Carnelia, who was coming this way.Apparently, she found the Red Dragon flying from afar and ran away.

"By and large, this town is near the knee of the Spirit, and it seemed to be quite a rumor in King's Landing.I don't think they're coming for us.I feel safe there. "

That's what Faye said to make her smile.

... I see. It's near the spirits' knees, so they won't attack... hmm?

"Really, so?

"Wow, it seems that the chocolate and marshmallow soldiers are telling their terrible stories at the King's City tavern.They're all scared. "

... I see. No, it's... uh, it's above all else!

"So there's hardly any way to steal Carnelia's Phoenix.That's why, if there's a corn, it might be something else, but otherwise you can steal the Summoners.And I need Carnelia's permission to take care of Carnelia's property. "

I see. Well, then, don't worry too much. "

"I think so.I'll check with my father. "

If you can't force me to do Phoenix, I'm a little relieved.Conversely, I wonder if Carnelia is more likely to be forced than Phoenix.I have to be careful there, but as long as I'm in this town, I'm going to be safe.At least there aren't many things like being forced to attack.

After all, this town seems to have the impression that chocolate and marshmallows make it scary...

... I'm glad I did a little flashy at that time.

Carnelia stopped by and explained it to her again.

Olivi's information about Phoenix has come out of your possession, and that Phoenix will not be forcibly taken away from you.

... of course, I'm not completely relieved.Killing Carnelia and taking possession of Phoenix...But Carnelia always seems to have a knight, and Phoenix himself is a strong creature in the first place.The guards are alone.

And then... the next story came up.

"Yes, well then, your fathers are in trouble!

I haven't even heard... about Giolen's verdict.

"Jiolen's father and brother are guilty.No extenuating circumstances. The nobility is stripped.The territory has been collected. So it seems that the fines imposed on the state for committing a noble but insignificant crime will be compensated by the seizure of the property of the Dioren family. "

Seizure of property...

I see. There are seizures in this world, too.Sure, sure.

"Yes, you still have the mansion, the household goods, right?That's why it's like seizing it and making up for the fine. "

So we're going to destroy the house and confiscate all our property?Does that mean that Dioren and the others have nothing to say?... it looks like it's going to be tough after you leave.I don't know if I can get out.However, the crime of kidnapping a teenager or brawling in the aristocratic garden ended in less than two years, so it looks like he'll be out soon.

While I'm thinking about it... Fay has a bit of a hard face.

"But hey...."

"What's wrong?

When I asked, Faye... said.

"... so how much can I make up for it?"

Huh?

He said something a little strange, so when he answered, Faye looked at Claire with a little trouble.Claire takes that look and speaks instead of Faye.

"We stopped by Dioren's house to investigate it.In my opinion, the Dioren family has almost no property anymore.That's why I nested in Carnelia's house. "

Oh, yeah. That's right.I don't think if I had any money, I wouldn't be able to empty my nest...No, there may be people in the world who have property but...

"And that's on the court side... which means you know it as a public institution in King's Landing.Because it involves public authorities in the country, we can also investigate.Well, I suppose they've been investigating the area and bringing it to trial. "

That's what it is.Really? … So why is Crowe investigating the property of the Dioren family even though she is not a public authority… Ah, nothing.

"Well, that's why... I don't think the royal court is happy with this verdict.There's no taste in confiscating property from someone who doesn't have it, right?It's not a delicious way to show off. "

Crowe leans his neck as he says so.

"The fine imposed by this ruling is 20,000 pieces of gold."

I see. 20,000 gold coins.... I don't know.

"... how long has that been?

"Um, 2,500 fines from the Brompa family at the time of Lyla.Lyla has 1,000. "

I see. The Brompa family's charges at that time were "infringement of intellectual property rights" and "trouble caused to the Red Gard family"... I wonder if that's what 20,000 copies of "serious behavior on the nobles" were...No, um, I still feel a little bit overwhelmed.

"I think it's about 3,500 gold coins, even if we combine the Dioren family's mansion, their possessions, and all their other rights.Even if you estimate a lot,... in the first place, most of our property has already been confiscated. "

Doesn't that mean you can't help charging the Dioren family 20,000 gold coins?I mean, you can't even pay a quarter.

"So, hey, well, it's going to be strange.I'm not convinced that I'm going to show it to the other aristocrats with just my forehead... "

Both Crowe and Faye look unconvinced by the verdict.Yeah, I got a little unconvinced when I heard it.

"Did the Ziolens make false declarations about their own property?

"I don't have it. Declare less property in order to reduce the amount of the fine. It might be the opposite, but come on...."

"I see. Or if it's a hidden property in the Dioren family, I understand the story, but... it's strange that I don't know anything about it."

Oh, this is crazy.I see. Mr. Crowe is amazing.

"It's not hidden property, but there are hidden children!Here! "

"Fufu, that's right.Maybe Carnelia is the Dioren family's greatest asset. "

To Carnelia, who flies a little hard to react to black jokes, Claire smiles gently...

"... hmm?

"... ah"

... Fay and Crowe have solidified.

I also had a very bad feeling, and it hardened. [M]

"... hey, Fei-kun"

"... oh"

Mr Crowe said, looking at Faye in a very uncomfortable way.

"Perhaps the property of the wrongdoing child will also be subject to seizure as property of the Dioren family?

"... maybe the royal family is trying to seize Phoenix."

In support of Claire's words, there is Leann in the sky riding back.

What Lian has in his hand... is an envelope.
