By the time the nobility under the Marquis of Well Rod had bid farewell to Elias, the nobility had gathered among the wanderers.
Everyone has a dark expression on their faces.
Originally, even the next King's candidate, the Marquis of Wilmente, seemed depressed rather than acting.
If you feel responsible for it, say, “I am the next king!You did it! "
Aside from being a little hedgehog, I don't care if it's too hedgehog-like.
Isaac felt he might need to follow up whenever he needed to.
The throne was lined up with Count Cooper and ministers as if they were heading for the nobles.
Isaac stood on the side of the nobility.
Lord Enfield, can you come with me?
Got it.
Count Cooper calls Isaac towards us.
I just called it "the one who moved as a banner to rescue Elias."
As far as he was concerned, he couldn't understand why Isaac was only on the side of listening.
However, this was Isaac's calculation.
― ― The weight of the meaning of the words that the Prime Minister uttered in front of everyone, as if he was asking for Isaac's help.
In fact, it doesn't matter what the meaning of the words is.
What Count Cooper said was important in a situation where we might not be able to accept it.
Now that everyone is upset, we need to appeal as a reliable presence.
That's why Isaac stood to listen to Count Cooper's words.
- To appeal to Count Cooper for help.
Isaac stood next to Count Cooper.
"You must still be tired after a short rest."Everyone feels uneasy when the Prime Minister shows us how tired he is.I'll take care of the progress. ”
"That's true, too..."
The image I saw in the mirror was pathetic.
Count Cooper gives Isaac the lead.
“I was going to tell you what happened in chronological order.First of all, it would be nice to talk about the soldiers who confirmed the message that would have inspired the Kingsguard to move. "
Got it.
Isaac turns to everyone.
"Why did such a thing happen to His Majesty?I think there are many people who want to check immediately.But first, let us wish His Majesty Elias and His Royal Highness Mills all the best. Silence! ”
Isaac prays silently.
In doing so, I appealed to them like the mourners of Elias.
And the others followed suit.
At the end of the silent prayer, we will get to the point.
"Well then, first of all, it seems that the Kingsguard inspired me to move."Let's confirm the witness testimony.Those who arrived before yesterday may have heard of it, but neither I nor the Marquis of Well Rod have heard of it yet.Besides, there may be things that you can understand by listening to them. ”
Following Isaac's words, the soldier restrained by the wall moves.
Almost every aristocrat in Reed's kingdom has his eyes on him.
I knew that very well.
Because he was a soldier protecting the royal palace, he walked awkwardly, even though he was supposed to be accustomed to the eyes of the nobility.
The tension was obvious.
However, he begins to explain in a firm voice that does not make him feel nervous.
The content was a desirable move for Isaac.
I was satisfied inwardly, but don't forget to make a serious face.
After the soldier finishes talking, Isaac asks a question.
Are you sure you didn't recognize the message?
"I'm sorry! I remember all the messages from the troops near the capital!"The people who visit often remember the messages that belong to the region!It's no exaggeration to say that they are the first to see you!I can assure you of my pride as the one who has been entrusted with the entrance to the Royal Palace for many years! ”
If you say here, "I recognize it, but I dared to pass it," you may be seen as an accomplice of the Kingsguard.
Of course, the soldiers strongly deny it.
(That's right, I'm from the Braak Chamber of Commerce.)
So, there was nothing left to prove your identity on the body?
"Nothing happened."If you were a cavalryman, you would have a sword struck by a well-known blacksmith, but the decoration was only good, and the sword was cheap.Even though it was burned by magic, I didn't find any codes, so it was a message from the Royal Army.It may be natural to think of someone other than the Royal Army who has only prepared armor. ”
"I see..."
(Even if you could prepare armor and flags, didn't you get to the props completely?That's exactly what I wanted.The Braak Chamber of Commerce should consider it a good job.)
Isaac nods his head.
“Did you come up with anything?”
Looking at the figure, Count Cooper asks a question.
I thought I realized what the message was.
Of course, Isaac knows the true nature of the message.
But I didn't mean to be a fool to tell you that.
The advance party departed on the fourteenth day, and arrived in the king's city on the twentieth day.It is also an imposing army.If you arrive the day before, you will have left on the 13th.General Kimble, have you received any signals from Jason? ”
No, I didn't.
General Kimble's face, which answered, was obsessed.
In just two weeks, ten years old looks old.
I was worried that I might die as it was because I was elderly.
“After General Kimble left our position with another task force, the message couldn't have made it through the battlefield.When that happens, you can send a message to the capital, and if the gatekeeper of the royal palace doesn't know his face, the target is limited. "
Uncle Brandar, right?
Count Cooper answered in a calm voice.
Apparently, before Isaac and the others arrived, I knew who I could send a message to.
They weren't just mourning.
"That's right, I think it's highly likely that Uncle Brandar is."However, I do not believe he resented Lord Elias enough to issue an assassination order.if Jason hadn't given the order yet..... "
Isaac acts as if he really doesn't know.
No, this wasn't an act.
I can't think of a reason why Count Brandar would order the annihilation of a royalty.
It's just that Isaac is trying to impose his guilt, and he has no reason to do that.
"Actually, it was at dinner that King Elias was attacked..."One of the maids who was listening to the conversation between His Majesty and the Kingsguard has survived. "
Oh my God!
“I was going to let them testify to what kind of conversation they had.Do you want me to testify right away? "
"... let's do that."
Isaac's knee was about to tremble.
If the Kingsguard said something strange, the nobles might be suspicious.
I've already heard the testimony. "You're the killer!"I might be able to hang myself.
I'm afraid of hearing testimony.
But if you avoid testimony, you will be suspicious.
I couldn't choose not to ask.
The old maid waited outside the room.
With every step she took, Isaac's heart rang loudly.
"To have survived means to have confirmed the last of His Majesty Elias."First of all, let's talk about what the Kingsguard was saying. "
Even though she was terrified, Isaac asked the maid in a dignified manner.
The maid was trembling as she looked around.
"Me too... I tried to protect you too!"I'm not surviving because I ran away! ”
― ― The guilt of surviving on one's own.
That was the cause of the tremor.
All the other maids died trying to protect Elias.
And yet, she's alive.
Because he survived, he said, "Didn't you abandon Elias?Thinking that they were around, they became suspicious, making their behavior suspicious.
"The story should be over by now.Because you're alive, I know what the Kingsguard was saying. I won't punish you. "
Count Cooper calms down.
But she was still trembling.
There are so many aristocrats.
Not without a rampaging fool.
Isaac also moves because this doesn't move the conversation.
“Information is important. Calm down and tell me what happened to everyone.If we are to tell the whole truth, we will do so in the name of the Duke of Enfield.But if you can't talk about it, you will be severely punished for concealing important information about your Majesty.A little bit is fine. I want you to talk to me. "
Isaac fools around with punishment while maintaining his safety.
As expected, Isaac's words of "severe punishment" seemed very stimulating to the maid.
It was a stupid word, but I started talking little by little.
The Kingsguard thought that his immediate royal family would be saved if only Jason survived.
Elias resisted and killed one of the Kingsguard with a dish knife.
But we can't beat the experts in battle, we're cornered.
However, I could hear the Kingsguard fighting behind my back.
A new group of Kingsguard Knights appeared and began to fight each other.
Magic flashed and some kind of magic hit Elias.
Jessica died trying to protect Elias, and Mills was killed.
The Kingsguard who went to rescue His Majesty Elias is the ones I convinced.
Count Cooper begins to supplement the story of the maid.
"That day, I received a report that the deputy commander of the Kingsguard had burned down a suspicious message."After that, His Majesty Jason - a Jasonite Knight Guardian left the Royal Palace, and was ready to move on by contacting anyone who knew Her Majesty the Elias.I heard they were headed for the prison tower, and I let the guards and guards on my side break into it, but now I'm not going anywhere..... "
Count Cooper distorts his face regretfully.
If we had moved a little faster, we might have been able to help Elias.
He regretted the paper difference, and Isaac was sweating coldly.
"When the armies of Duke Wilamente and Duke Warwick arrived in the capital, they chose to use the capital as a battlefield to take back the battlefield."However, I did not choose that Lord Elias did not want the people to suffer.The responsibility lies with me.Your Highness, you have done well. "
Here Isaac admitted that he was responsible.
This is to soothe the impression of the king when he is king.
― ― If you don't admit your responsibility and become a king, what will the surroundings think?
It is highly likely that they would think, "You have been running away from the responsibility of the Marquis of Wilmente to make yourself king."
If that happens, Isaac's rule will be tough.
I had to keep appealing, "I'm not interested in the throne."
"So are you." Originally, this was a problem that our nobility had to solve.You're doing well, considering your position.Thank you, and continue to do your part for the Reed Kingdom. ”
Isaac nibbles at his maidservants and gatekeepers.
They are not the ones who reacted most strongly to this action.
- It was the Marquis of Wilmente.
The Marquis of Wilmente had his eyes swimming to the bright end.
Isaac said, "It was a problem that our nobles had to solve."
If the nobility solves it, the work of the higher nobility will naturally be important.
However, the Marquis of Wilmente was in a terrible state of bringing Count Brandar to his side.
Until Isaacs arrived in the king's city, it was a great problem that was severely reprimanded by other nobles.
Even the nobility under his umbrella sometimes turned a cold gaze.
-Brandar's betrayal triggered Elias's murder.
Now, without Isaac's guidance, it was a common understanding among the nobles.
Therefore, the nobility's duty was only a needle for the Marquis of Wilmente.
But Isaac hasn't stopped talking.
Wait for the gatekeeper and maid to leave and continue.
“In my opinion, the message that Lord Elias gave you the assassination order was sent by Uncle Brandar.The reason for this is that it would be more convenient to keep Jason as king.Whether he lost a showdown in Emerald Lake or not, it was possible that if Jason were alive, he would remain ruled over the king's throne as his immediate royal family.It would have been possible to use his power as king to mitigate the crime against Uncle Brandar. "
No one disagreed with Isaac's hypothesis.
Because everyone thought it was likely.
In the time that elapsed between the arrival of the Marquis of Well Rod and the arrival of the House, the nobles who had arrived earlier had plenty of time to argue.
The essence was “who will be held accountable,” so the traitor Count Brandar was the target.
And the Marquis of Wilmente was also targeted.
It was also because he feared retaliation if he tried to hold Isaac responsible.
But these are Isaac's plans.
The Marquis of Wilmente was first sent to the Royal Capital, and the Marquis of Well Rod decided to go for the last time in order to create this situation.
In addition to being human, I have the habit of aiming at the target in front of me.
It's easier and easier to blame the Marquis of Wilamente in front of you than Isaac, who hasn't arrived in the capital yet.
The Marquis of Wilmente's accusations make it easier to do things from here.
And above all, instead of "Isaac told me and I noticed," the answer we came up with was "Isaac's idea was the same."
And when Isaac said to me, I realized, "Isn't Isaac leading us to think?Some people will suspect it. "
However, if the answer is the same as the one we discussed earlier, they will believe that they were right.
It's only natural that Count Brandar thinks he's more of a traitor than a traitor.
Isaac thought that everyone would think so, and decided to induce thinking in a direction that did not defy the flow.
This should not give the impression that someone is manipulating you.
The question is how much movement the Marquis of Windsor has had.
If he is actively trying to impose his responsibilities on Count Brandar, he will only be suspicious of his ties to Isaac.
I was in such a hurry that I couldn't confirm it.
When Isaac saw Chirari and the Marquis of Windsor, he turned away and made no move.
He showed a stubborn posture.
(Does that mean you read the air and stayed still?You're the former Chancellor.)
Isaac felt what the Marquis of Windsor was trying to tell him.
“By the way, are Michael and Charles captured?”
"Of course, Baroness Nettlehalls was temporarily called the Queen, so she was on the upper level of the Prison Tower."Michael Brandar and Charles Adams have been captured in a dungeon with other Jasonites. ”
I see.
(If so, you can take the next step with confidence.)
Isaac puts his hand on the king.
"This is no longer the case when His Majesty Elias and His Highness Mills are in mourning after their death."Since the direct royalty is gone, it is necessary to wear the side royalty as the king. "
Marquis Wilmente reacts to this word with a victory.
No matter what I think, the first thing that comes around is me.
But it's not a good idea given the relationship with the Marquis of Warwick and the case of Count Fred and Count Brandar.
I almost wanted you to call the royalty from another country.
But it's hard to get it out of yourself.
In the future, it is likely that the back finger will point to "escaped from the duty of the king".
He began to desperately wonder if he could get away with it.
