After that, Leechee exclaimed the wolfing Else, and then Oliver moved quickly.
What we're going to do is, of course, we're not going to keep quiet about Arnold.
However, since Arnold said that he would "concentrate on his official duties", I don't want to interfere with that.Besides, if you poorly put it in Arnold's ear, it could bother him.
Oliver, a servant of the [annoyance], must have understood.
Instead of hiding it until the end, make some preparations, as is the policy to report it to Arnold once it's done well.
And after breakfast, Leechee was visiting another person, not Harriet.
Oliver is here, and he stands behind Leechee.
Across the table was Raul, dressed as Curtis.
It was because I had spoken to him beforehand, and there was no sentry knight standing.
On the contrary, it seemed that he did not have a chamberlain with him. Raul brewed tea with his hand and pushed it towards Leeche.
Awesome.
"... thank you"
"It's a rare color tea, isn't it? It was being drunk in the country where I grew up."
Green tea, like jade, has a distinctive aroma.
In the life of a hunter, Raul loved this tea, and he often behaved like it to the Leeches.
"What about that silver-haired squire over there?" Do you want a drink too? "
No, thank you.
Oliver declined mildly, but his voice was somewhere hard.
Arnold must have told me that this [Curtis] was a fake.
Perhaps you also know that Leechee was aware of this and did not report it to Arnold.
Well then, let's get down to business.
Raul took the teacup in his hand, drank a bite, and then cut it out.
Leechee also puts her mouth on the cup and tastes the bitterness of the first time in a long time.Slowly put the cup back into the saucer and looked into Raul's eyes again.
"First of all, thank you for arranging a knight of the Sigwell Nation around Mr. Harriet's room."
"After the message 'Make time to talk', 'Lock Harriet in her room and increase the number of guards'."Anyway, Harriet herself had a hard time silencing the maid and the knight of Fabrania. ”
Raul shrugged his shoulders at Daewoo.
I'm sorry for that, but Leechee took a breath and opened her mouth.
"I want to help you with what you're doing in this country."
"... no purpose or anything"
Raul laughs softly and deposits his body on the back of the chair.
"As you can see, it came as a shadow of Curtis.He's a little sick right now.It's impossible to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Galkhain and his wife without our Crown Prince. "
“That's a lie. As Lord Arnold said, your actions are against the will of the Sigwells.”
Correctly, it should be said that we have not obtained consent.
I know what Raul thinks.If the Sigwells aren't going to allow it, I won't ask permission from the beginning.
They should be quietly leaving the country and acting in silence.
"If you were to name His Highness Curtis by royal order, you would have made it to the end."You don't show up in front of me or reveal your name, do you? ”
"No, no, that can't be helped."When I stood in front of you as "Curtis," I knew immediately that I was being spotted.I can't help hiding it from you. "
“That's a lie, too. I acted like I didn't realize you were a fake.It would be unnatural to think that instead of using it, you would reopen and come to see me. "
I've always wondered why Leeche had to do something like that.
But now I know.
You've bought me a lot of things, haven't you?
(... naturally)
Leechee, who was next to her as a hunter, knew how good Raul was as a [shadow].
If it were Raul, I wouldn't be wrong if it wasn't the real Curtis.
"With the royal instructions, I can't be rude to His Highness Arnold."... I heard from Mr. Harriet that Lord Curtis is not the kind of person who would do such a thing.And yet, I was wondering why you pretended or approached me on purpose. "
With that, Raul smiles tinyly.
"That's because you're cute."
"...... that's a lie, too"
Looking at her delightfully narrowed red eyes as she mumbled.
“The reason you're here is to rescue Harriet from Fabrania?”
――……
Raul scratched a gentle blink.
"Mr. Harriet is strictly restricted from approaching men."Even if it is an escort, the man is not close to Harriet.--No, even if you disguise yourself as a woman, the Fabulous Guard Knight won't leave you. "
As a matter of fact, so was Leechee yesterday.I was blamed for seeing Harriet without an escort, and the Female Knights bewitched me.
If you're going to be alone with Mr. Harriet, it's best to take the figure of His Highness Curtis, who belongs to Mr. Harriet.
"... I see, that's how you thought about it."Didn't Curtis pretend to be you or Arnold Hein because I was trying to trick Fabrania? ”
"No.... you must have been trying to reveal yourself if we hadn't noticed?"
After that, Raul gave a slightly surprised expression.
"Your behavior is too dangerous."To let Harriet escape as Lord Curtis would be a national betrayal of Fabrania.If you're going to work for Royal Sigwell, you'll have to reveal at the end that it was' His Highness Curtis's fake '. ”
I didn't show up in front of Leechee for his whims or to dictate Leechee.
Perhaps, to prove to Crown Prince Galkhain that "it wasn't Prince Curtis".
The fact that he didn't even hide the color of his pupils like Harriet did is probably important evidence that his pupils were different from Curtis's.
But Raul still smiled lightly.
"First of all, why would I save Harriet?"
He tilted his neck and continued, raising one hand.
"Because you are not recognized by King Fabrania and are treated unfairly?"No, no, that's common.There is no concubine who can be happy from a political marriage, and even Harriet knows that. "
Then he narrowed his eyes and spoke with a sarcastic tone.
"There's nowhere I need to save you."
……
Leechee slowly opens her mouth.
If Harriet is just not doing well with her fiancée, maybe she is.
"... hmm?"
"Last night, this stuff was in my bag that Harriet used for me."
He loosened the mouth of the sack, made the contents visible, and placed it on the table.
Raul gazed at it and asked without changing his expression.
From the circumstances, it was Harriet who put this in the bag.
"I see. Perhaps Harriet tried to dress you up as a thief?"
“There's no way you're wearing a stigma.Because this kind of thing isn't worth that much. "
Leechee reached out and took a gold coin out of the sack.
The gold coin glowed like a mirror with no scuffs or scratches from circulation.
"... I've heard from the maid."The Galkhain gold coin that Harriet had was prepared by His Majesty the King of Fabrania and told Harriet to "go shopping with Galkhain". "
That's all I can hear from a man trying to make his fiancé have as much luxury as he wants.
But it wasn't.
"If so, this gold coin would have been in circulation not in Galkhain, but in the Fabranian country across the sea, right?"
"Well, even so, there's nothing wrong with it."There are currency exchange offices in this city's harbor, aren't there?Travelers and merchants from Galkhain also use gold coins in Fabrania, which should be in circulation..... "
Raul stopped talking.
“Yes, it's no wonder that the gold used in Galkhain eventually crossed the border and was collected in the end.”
……
"But the gold here is very beautiful."As if it were a freshly made gold coin.... there aren't many coins in the country. "
Leechee offered the gold to Raul.
"Why are all the gold coins from Fabrania like new without any trace of circulation?"
"...... the way you hear it, you're a bad person."
Raul puts it in front of him and looks at him.
"Even the gold made in Fabrania, you've already noticed the habit."
