Episode 14: I'm here because I don't have one * 3

We watched Lean arrive.Lian looks at us strangely as she lands and then gives Carnelia an envelope.

"Carnelia letter."

The letter I was given... contains the royal crest.

"Wait!

After seeing it, Mr. Crowe quickly took the envelope before it got into Carnelia's hands.

"... I'll read it first.Okay? Oh, no, don't give me permission.Carnelia turned around. "

While saying that, Mr. Crowe opened the envelope and read the letters on the slightly splendid paper inside... he had a very bitter face.

"... I got it."

And Mr. Crowe said,

"Seizure warrant.... to seize Phoenix as property of the Dioren family. "

"It was hard to steal Phoenix by force."

I see. It's obviously difficult to use force, and magically, too.But for a 'valid' reason, I hadn't thought about it legally... "

Claire said so, scratching her hair with her impatient face, walking around for a few steps without meaning.

... oh my God. I know it's hard enough just because Mr. Claire is in such a hurry.

I can't believe they took Phoenix for 'good reason'!

"No... I wonder, is Carnelia recognized as a member of the Dioren family in the first place?You're a wrongdoer, aren't you?

"I see. My name wasn't on the bloodline!Your father said I'm not your real daughter!

Oh, do you have a blood certificate?I see. Then....

"If it's a blood certificate, you'll be able to rewrite it later.Especially since I'm not adding it to your ancestors, I'm just adding it to the end. "

Ah, you can't...

"I see... if Diolen insisted that Carnelia was not her real daughter, on the contrary, if Diolen insisted that Carnelia was her daughter, would Carnelia be a member of the Diolen family?

"... you'll do it.For both diolens. If Carnelia's fortune were to be called the Dioren's fortune, our fortune would swell up at once.The same goes for Phoenix and the jewelry.It's highly probable that you're looking forward to it.... "

... I see.

Could the Diorens treat Carnelia like a daughter now?For the money.

... I hate you so much!

"Why does the Royal Family want Phoenix in the first place... to fight the Demon King?

"I wonder...Phoenix's tears, you know, heal people's injuries, right?That's because it's special, I think I want it.As a royal family. "

"If you can heal your injury, you can do a little indifference, right?Someone with Phoenix's tears should be able to help you if you're injured.... the point is, it's a material that reassures and moves people.Phoenix was crying.... I think the King wants Phoenix tears, even if he's just a ruler. "

Ah… Barnes said he came to buy Phoenix, but Phoenix tears are worth a lot.

I've been helping Phoenix cry a few times in this forest.Last time I was attacked by a monster.That's why... I know all about Phoenix's tears, and that's why I'm worried.

The royal family wants Phoenix anyway.And this time, I'm here to steal Phoenix for good reason.

... how do I escape?

If we were worried, Carnelia would start to melt, and Lian would start to melt.

"Well, what do we do?What am I supposed to do?

"It's okay, Lian.I'll take care of this letter.... "

Lian is calm, but this time it won't be his turn.If there's anything Lian can do, I think it's to stay with Carnelia.I thought so, and I was going to suggest that Fay and Lian and Carnelia play together.

"... then why don't you just leave me this letter?

That's what Lean said, well, she took the letter from Claire's hand.

Though thoughtless, I took a letter from a professional, Mr. Crowe.... I'm surprised.Crowe is also surprised.This angel is not just an angel.An angel of thunder genius.

The angel said with a hard expression as he flickered the stolen letter.

"Let's just say I lost this letter.I'm the postman.So, from the letter I received in this town, I just lost the letter to Carnelia. "

"They're going to get it in a formal way, right?If you didn't get the letter, wouldn't it take some time to confirm it?In the meantime, let Carnelia and Phoenix escape.... "

"No."

That's what Claire says, blocking Lian's words.There was a letter in his hand that appeared to have been taken from Lian's hand sometime.

Claire bends down a little and stares at Lean.

"If that's what you do, it's a job for people like me.It's not your job. "

"But"

Claire clasped her fingers and silenced Lian's mouth, trying to rush her.... and talked with a smile to reassure her.

"It's okay. That's what I'm good at.Much better than you.... and there are other jobs you can only do, right?

"... a job that only I can do?

"Yes, your job is to stay with Carnelia.You and Ange are the ones who are anxious to be with her and anxious to be with her. "

Claire grabs Lian's shoulders gently and says so from the front.

Lian turned to Carnelia... and looked at her more anxious than Lian... and cuddled with Carnelia.After that, Lian also came out and wrapped Carnelia with her wings.Then Phoenix stopped by and stuck to it.

"All right, good boy!

Crowe sees two people sticking together and says cheerfully.Crowe, who was in a hurry before, seems to have cheered them up.I got it, too. Faye and Interlia seem to be feeling a little better and looking a little positive.

... okay. Let's not rush, either.

Calm down, now we have to think about what we can do.

"I don't think Lian's plan is bad, either.The opponent has been following normal procedures for a while, so I think it's better to break out of the third faction rather than confront it head-on. "

"So, Mr. Crowe stole the letter and ran away?

"Yeah, that's right.I think I better do it than Lian does. "

That's what Claire says... but it turns Claire into a fugitive criminal.Claire has a cool face saying, "That's better now," but for me, that's a little...

... like me, Fay, who doesn't want to make Krah a criminal, thinks, thinks... and says,

"I was just thinking... how about Carnelia being adopted by me or my father?

"Eh!? Wow, I'm going to be Oniisama's daughter!?

Carnelia was surprised, but so are we.It's amazing how Faye can have a daughter.

"No, then Carnelia will be a Red Gard instead of a Giolen, right?If that happens, yes, you won't be able to come and get it... but if you do, we'll be able to pay for the seizure. "

That's how Fay... scratches his cheeks at random.

"Well... the 20,000 pieces of gold coins are just a bit of gold on a boulder that I don't know about, so I'll talk to my father about it..."

That's right.Even the aristocrats hesitate to move a little.Ugh...

In general, if Fai had a daughter all of a sudden, it wouldn't only affect Fai, but also Fai's brother and father.I don't think you can do that without consulting Shizukuishi...

"That's right...20,000 gold coins is a bit difficult...What should we do? Can you steal treasure from the royal family?

"Damn, if I had the resources, I could protect Carnelia-sama...!You still think we're gonna have to kill all the royals?

... yeah. Extreme.These women in the woods are extremist.Carnelia is the lead. I'm so glad you're here!I won't forget.

"Hey, no, let's settle this with a little more peace!Nah!... no, but, surely, it's time to cut off your hand with the royal family...?Princess Large is going to be ready for this..... "

... Faye is getting a little radical, too, in trouble.

Everyone's in trouble.

Carnelia, we all want to do something to help Phoenix.But it's an act of courage...

For now, I wonder if it's the best way to adopt Faye.

Crowe will not be a criminal, and Carnelia can officially become a Red Gard instead of a Giolen, so she may not be seized, and even if she does, the Red Gard can officially take her place....

No, but if that happens, Faye's house will pay 20,000 gold coins.That's a pretty big blow, isn't it?The territory is tilted.

I want to avoid that. But as a king, I'm sure if I can't seize Phoenix, I'll at least make the Red Gards feel bad, and then 20,000 gold coins...

20,000 gold coins, how many jewels do I draw? [M]It's kind of imaginary...

... hmm?

Because Carnelia is a "Dioren", Carnelia's belongings are "Dioren's Property", so Phoenix is seized to make up for the "20,000 Gold Coins of Fine."

... I don't think it's okay if it's not Phoenix.

Yeah. Um, I... I, uh, noticed.

"... in the first place, I wonder if I can still use Carnelia's money."

Even if Carnelia isn't from the Red Gard family, if she has the money, it could be solved.

"Oh, uhh...?

"Uh... wait a minute."

I go back home with an empty box of cookies in my room.

... so open the box in front of Claire with a smiling and stupid face, Interlia with a strange look, and Carnelia with an intriguing look...

If it's a jewel, I have it.

Uh-oh, dazzling.

There are rough gems in the box.

"If we can solve it with money, we can solve it with money."

There are a lot of jewels that can be used for money, so I wonder if this will solve it.
