"Orasur Prison"
Wendy watched.
Torque's over there.
Ah.
Almark nodded.
Ficke said he heard Eston say that.
"Yes."
Wendy put her hand on her chin and showed her how to think.
"Torque to Orasur"
Small, murmuring.
Almark sat on a round chair and stared at Wendy's face.
Is it because I think about the Kingdom of Galai?
Wendy appeared to be a noble lady, rather than a familiar student of Almark's usual academy.
Eventually, Wendy turned to Almark.
"You know, Almark."
"Yeah."
Orasur is a prison where only those who commit felonies can be placed.
Ah.
Almark nodded.
"That's what I was taught."
"A felony."
Wendy chooses her words carefully.
"It means something a little different than felony in a normal sense."
Really?
Almark twisted his neck small and urged Wendy to continue.
What's the difference?
"The crimes committed by those who can be put in Orasur are like the sins that shake the kingdom of Galai."
Wendy said.
"Such sins as put the country and the royal family in jeopardy."
"The kingdom and the royal family."
Almark frowned.
"Yeah."
Wendy nodded with a hard expression.
"So, the fact that the child's torque can still be put into Orasur means that it's over."
That's what I said, and I frowned.
"You've killed so many people, you've directly planned a royal assassination, you've done that."
"That's..."
Almark watched.
"Whatever."
"Yeah."
Wendy nods.
"I can't believe the torque I used to live at Nork Island College would do that during a vacation of about ten days."
That's right.
Almark put his arms together.
"Then I guess Eston was wrong.Or is Fiquet wrong? "
"Hmm...."
Wendy replied that it would not boil down.
Isn't it?
Almark sees Wendy.
"Is there any other possibility?"
"Mmm...."
Wendy nodded, but still seemed to wonder what to do with it.
"Wendy, if you really don't want to say it,"
"Yeah."
Wendy shakes her head.
"This is more about torque than what I say."
Wendy stared at the rain outside the window for a while and nodded with determination.
"I'll just talk to you, Almark.Don't tell anyone. "
As the tone grew more serious all the time, Almark changed the way he sat on a round chair.
"It's a big deal."
Almark said.
"Okay."
"Thank you."
Wendy looks around and makes sure no one is around again.
"To Orasur."
I knew there was no one, but Wendy kept her voice close to Almark.
Torque's brother is in jail.
"Torque oniisan"
Almark looks Wendy in the eye and hides his voice.
"Torque oniisan?"
"Yeah."
Wendy lay her eyes down.
"Torque's brother was involved in a major incident about four years ago."
"Big case."
Almark repeats.
"What kind of case is that?"
"If it's Garay's nobles, we all know it.Your father said it was a big shake on Galai's aristocracy. "
Wendy put it that way.
It is said that a group of powerful nobles attempted to defeat His Majesty the King.
"Lose the King of Galai."
"Yeah."
Wendy nods.
"We've got a lot of nobles who think they were part of the plan.Some of the nobles have been demolished. "
Well then, the Torque Seafay family.
"I didn't get crushed."
Wendy said.
"The Seafay family was originally quite a big house, but they confiscated most of their territory because of Torque's brother's involvement… Bruster Seafay."
Really?
Pride as a nobleman.
Almark thought that was one of the strong sources of torque.
But I can't believe the Siefei family was in such a critical situation.
It reminds me of the torque that I had before my vacation when I was going home and I didn't see it coming.
"So maybe the torque went to Orasur."
Wendy said.
Maybe it's for a visit with your brother.
"Visit?"
Almark keeps an eye out.
"I see. I didn't think of that."
Visit with relatives. That's quite possible.
At the very least, it would be more likely than the story that Torque was caught committing a major crime involving the state.
That's Wendy.
Having seen Wendy that way, Almark finally realized that they were so close to each other that their cheeks were almost touching each other that they could hide their voices.
Wendy noticed it almost simultaneously with Almark, blushing her face.
They both leave their faces at the same time.Wendy lay ashamed, and Almark coughed and looked out the window.
"But"
Take it easy, Almark sees Wendy.
"Can I see you in Orasur?"
"I'm not familiar with it either."
Wendy also had a slightly red face and answered while holding her hair with her hands without meaning.
"Sometimes, if the conditions are right, they'll be forgiven."
I see.
Almark nodded.
Oniisan's visit, huh?
Brustar Seafay.
Wendy called Torque's brother by his name.
Almark imagined the torque facing his brother in a dark room.
I wonder how that feels.
"You said if you were a Galai nobleman, everyone would know about this case."
Wendy nods at Almark's words.
"Yeah, I was a lot more of a kid than I am now, and I didn't know anything about it, but I still know about it."
"Well, you were about eight then."
Almark nodded.
Eight years old, neither I nor I were on the battlefield.
Still, I knew about the big fight.Because all adults talk about it.
The case involving Torque's brother must have been as big as that.
"It was a very big case."
"Yeah."
For the nobles, Wendy replied.
At that time, the wind blew outside, and the rain hit the window and made a loud noise.
"I don't think all the nobles were indifferent to the subject.I don't care if my house is involved. "
Wendy said.
A huge fluctuation in power and territory.
There can be no indifferent aristocrats.
"That means..."
Almark frowned.
"You know Eston too."
I don't think there's anything I don't know.
Wendy replied.
House Rudish in Eston is a celebrity.
"Then you know that your torque brother is in Orasur."
"I think..."
Wendy looks a little unconfident.
"I can't say that."
"If I had known, I would have said that to Zetskiv."
Almark put his arms together.
"As if the torque itself had been caught."
"Eston likes to say that."
Wendy lays her eyes down.
"Maybe it was ironic."
"After all, I'd like to ask myself."
Almark stood up.
"I just heard Fiquet passing by, and I didn't hear everything.Maybe there's been a misunderstanding. "
"If it's Fiquet, I might be mistaken."
Wendy nodded and stood up, bending over and dusting Almark's trousers.
"Look, it's so dirty."
"Oh, sorry."
After brutally dusting himself, Almark turned to Wendy again.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Are you going to Eston now?"
"Yeah, Eston's going to the library today.They won't be back till the evening, so I think I'll go too. "
Then I'll go, too.
Huh?
When Almark looked at Wendy in surprise, Wendy smiled.
"Eston's got a pretty good mouth, so if you don't know Garay well, you'll get rounded up."
That's what I'm saying, pointing at myself.
"But if I were here, Eston wouldn't be able to say the worst."
I see.
Almark smiled.
I'm sure you're right.
Then I look out the window.
"But it's raining hard. Are you sure?"
I told you I'd go anywhere.
Wendy answered with a clear face.
"Wherever you go."
