The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Everyone's attention is now on Hikaru. Kagley seemed to enjoy watching the nobles like that.

(Remember later...)

Hikaru continues with that in mind.

"I (...) had one question about the Emperor's attempted murder. That night I was the last person to see the Emperor, but if there was nothing hidden in that room, there were no suspicious people around me. If anyone breaks in, you'll notice a Kingsguard guarding the Imperial Castle, right?

"That's what's gonna happen."

The Prime Minister answered with a float.

No one complains, even if Hikaru now has a disrespectful mouth to the Chancellor.

"Then there are two possible possibilities: one is the emperor's own suicide attempt..."

"I don't think I can do that anymore."

"I mean. Then there's only one more thing left."

Hikaru pointed to heaven with his index finger.

"From the beginning, it was in the ceiling of my bedroom."

A lot of nobles are pompous. But the right minister noticed first.

"Oh well! That's why the center of gravity of the blade was a lot forward!?"

"I didn't know you'd notice there, but you're fast around wisdom. Exactly. Prepare a pre-poisoned blade and apply a sticky substance to the ceiling. If you push the patterned head there, it will eventually fall and the person downstairs will say Busli. In fact, there were traces of mucus on the ceiling."

"I see..."

It all seemed convinced, but there was only one person who spoke up.

"Um, so you can't definitely hit the target you're after...?

It was Nino.

His words are followed by an endorsement: "Sure" and "Ha, because I don't know when it will fall".

"That's right. But that's fine (...)"

"I don't know if that's all right."

Count Zepetta asks with a sinister face, but Nino seems to have noticed right away.

"Ah —— really, does this mean you targeted 'attempted assassination (...)'!?"

"These things, Nino"

"Father. The person who did it did not target the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor himself. You might not even have thought about hitting it. I don't know when the adhesion will peel off, so I thought the odds of hitting it were even lower."

"But... the fierce blade touched His Majesty when His Majesty was off."

"All the more so, Father. What would happen if the blade was stabbed in the bedroom when His Majesty wasn't resting on the bedroom?

"! Someone is going to sneak in and say they set up a blackmail against His Majesty!

"Exactly. But looking into it, I can't find anyone like that. Here's what the chaser thinks." The enemy is quite amazing, "he said. You're not actually here! But that's enough. The killer made it a top priority not to be caught"

"... because it was meant to be an 'attempt', huh? You know what?"

Zepetta's voice gets louder.

"If there is confusion in the Imperial Castle, our emerging and conservative nobles move. That's what this is all about!

"Exactly."

It was Hikaru who affirmed Zepetta's speculation.

"Who moved first by confusion? And who profited? Count Zepetta, at first I thought that was you. But as far as the current inquisition goes, it doesn't seem the same —— you were genuinely relieved by the advent of Emperor Cagley."

"Naturally! It is not from these empires, where His Majesty the Emperor Kagli reigns, that the eagles have risen from the pedestrians and stomped so desperately so far!

"That loyalty, brilliant. I'm happy for the rest of you."

Zepetta has words jammed in voices from unexpected Cagley, turning her face bright red and moisturizing her eyes.

"Well, when I checked the evidence, I knew it wasn't Count Zeppetta after all."

"I don't know who did it!

"-- There are three types of things that can be examined: one was witchcrafted, where was the extremely rare poison brought from? Two were done forward, who made this blade with a center of gravity; and three were who set the blade in the Emperor's bedroom..."

Hikaru said, pointing.

"Oh, don't get out of the hearing. Viscount Clellat, Baron Godard, Baron Tsarella"

!?

Sneak up from the chair and stop the three people who were trying to get out of the building.

Those three were —— emerging aristocrats.

"Hey...? Those three, you say, the killers...?

"The consolidation of evidence is coming, but circumstantial evidence would suggest it is. The first poison is the weaving of wound pills that Viscount Clellat commissioned Count Ron to make into poison, and it turns out he is not seriously trying to kill the emperor. Although, that magic has prolonged the poison. And the second special blade would have been made by Dwarves entering and leaving Baron Godard's mansion, and for the third, among the maids entering and leaving the Emperor's bedroom, is Baron Tsarella's blood relatives"

"Knock."

The three people who received Hikaru's allegations ran out simultaneously.

The Emperor's attempted assassination is a felony during a felony. The capital punishment of the principals, of course, would not spare the destruction of the aristocracy or the seizure of property. I don't care how much you don't want to kill.

"Out of the way!"

The guards, who were stuck by accident, are thrust, and the three jump outside.

"... I don't know if I can escape."

I stood up and said it was Corn Borderline Uncle.

"--Nha!? What is this soldier...!?"

From the outside, I hear voices like that.

That should be it, too. Because there are 300 soldiers deployed around this Inquisition.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Uncle Corn Border"

"No. Our army exists to serve His Majesty the Emperor"

"As Uncle Borderline has just said, his army is besieging this Inquisition"

It was Count Ron, who had just been appointed Commander of the Imperial Capital.

"Hey, why, Your Majesty!? Inviting Borderline Bo troops to the Imperial Castle, etc...!?"

"Well, just in case, Silver Face."

You blame me for that? and Hikaru sneers at Kagli.

"... I did say that. Because it's not clear how far Count Ron or the Kingsguard are on his side. Then I can trust Uncle Kohn, who is also the victim of this commotion (...)."

"It's been a long time since I've been to Wang Capital, this body. Stay here for a while and watch things change."

The Quimbrand Empire is now no longer in conflict with the Kingdom of Pawnsonia, and the Borderline Uncle has become a hippo.

Until the crap in the Imperial Castle subsided, it was also a boat for Emperor Kaglai to ask Borderline Uncle, also a symbol of force, to stay.

But this means thoroughly washing the central nobles in the Imperial Capital and making sure they are not involved in this assassination attempt.

And the next move towards a new Quimbrand empire that crosses boundaries like "Protectorate" and "Emerging" is sure to come --.

Very few aristocrats have noticed that much.

But the standing nobility, who said right minister, Count Zepetta, Count Ron, had heard Cagley's words with a strange face.
