"Shut up. I really had a bad feeling about this!"You were very kind to such a dull princess.Harriet is completely nostalgic, and it's not strange to confess everything. "

……

Raul leaned his cheek stick over his lap and began to gaze at Yaya and Leeche.

"I was grabbing information about the ransom money, as you said."Not only that, but what King Fabrania's Walter commanded the Knights of Harriet. ”

(... after all, the royal family of Sigwell had ordered the [hunters] to investigate Fabrania.)

But in my fifth life, I've never heard of riches.

Raul didn't report the information to the royal family.

"Those knights naturally had orders to keep Harriet away from others.My brother Curtis is allowed because he can't move when he knows about the gold.Royal Sigwell had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, after the princess offered to Fabrania was taken hostage. "

“You said you didn't report the ransom money because you couldn't do anything to the Sigwell Royal Family?”

"I don't know.... and there are other interesting orders."

Raul raises two fingers next to his face.

"Be sure to keep an eye on your actions so that Harriet can use the money properly."Even if you pretended to have left it in the room, you wouldn't have missed it a second time. "

……

“And one more thing, this is more important for the rest of the conversation.”

A sharp light swayed in her red eyes.

"If Galkhein finds out about the existence of gold,--If that's the case, you'll have to kill Harriet. "

……

Leechee and Oliver were breathless at the words.

"Why did you kill Harriet-sama..."

"Of course, it's not just about closing your mouth."If you bought Harriet's bodyguard and left, can you imagine why? "

Leechee raised her eyebrows and spoke what she had imagined.

"... if Harriet-sama is killed in Galkhain territory, Galkhain's side will certainly be held responsible."

“That's right! Poor, beloved King Walter, who has lost his fiancée, will mourn and bombard Galkhain....... in order to compensate for this, I might ask for a huge amount of money or even try to offer a substitute bride. "

Even if that happens, I don't think the Emperor or Arnold will respond.

"--That's terrible shallow wisdom."

Oliver stood beside Leechee as she whispered.

Even though it was calm, it was a terribly cold voice.Raul laughs amusedly, his shoes and his throat squealing.

"Well, as much as I told you, this is a Yota story by [Curtis' impostor]."I don't think the international community would believe this ridiculous plan that the Fabranian royal family had in mind. "

"... Raul, you..."

Leechee slowly covered her mouth with her right hand after she uttered her words.

Leechee-sama?

Oliver's voice was strong.

Leechee squinted her eyes without replying.

Oh, is it time the medicine worked?

"... you. What did you give Mr. Leechee to drink?"

Oliver's murderous temper tingled and ached.

Oliver-sama.



Leechee reached out and grabbed Oliver's jacket.

Then a surprising sign came from him.

"You're going to lose consciousness.It's about time my limbs were numb and I couldn't speak properly. "

"... ah, Raul, you..."

"Now Harriet is being taken outside the castle by my knights of Fabrania and Sigwell... that is, by my men."

Leechee squinted at Raul, lightly shrugging her shoulders.

"You're saying I'm trying to rescue Harriet?It's a good place to buy a dress. I was going to take Harriet's head as a souvenir and transfer her to Fabrania. "

"...... ah"

"While I was talking to you, you had the Knights of Sigwell watch over you to protect Harriet from the Knights of Fablania, didn't you?"But it's a shame. I betrayed Sigwell, and I was Fabrania and Guru. "

Raul stood up and stretched out greatly.

Leechee caught up with Raul in a shallow breath.

"After all, the [ghost] seen by the maids..."

"My men." If a suspect is spotted in the castle, we'll have guards around the castle.Thanks to you, there's hardly a knight in the city of Vinleith. "

……

Raul exhaled with a small breath as he saw Leechee round her body.

"She looks very sick."...... I wonder if this will be enough to disrupt Arnold Hein's movements. "

"Wait, I can't let you out of this room."

"Oh, my God."

Raul puts out his tongue again.

But he is not heading for the door to the hallway.I walked up to the window without hesitation, and opened it and hung my legs on the window sill.

"It was fun, miss. If we ever see each other again, I'd like you to show me your pretty laughing face."

"Raul...!"

Bye-bye. Goodbye.

Having said that, Raul jumped out of the window on the third floor.

"Shit..."

Oliver strokes his tongue and kneels down in front of the drooping leeches.

"Leechee-san....... Leechee-san, please......!"

Yes, I'm fine!



Leechee raised her face suddenly and looked up at Oliver with a sharp face.

"Thank you for matching my performance.Let's follow Raul after a little swim, as I told you. ”

So, but, Leechee-sama...

Oliver's obviously bewildered face looks at Leechee with an unbelievable look on her face.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with that?According to that man, you've been given medicine.... "

“Yes, I probably drank the antidote beforehand, assuming it would come.”

Leechee stands up with a smile on her face and flinches at the hem of the dress.

Does this tell you that there is no malaise at all and that no abnormality has occurred?

(I am familiar with the methods that Raul may use at this time)

It is not just the method itself.

The type of medication you will prepare and the dose.How long will it take to play the "effective pretend", and what kind of trap is it?

(Five years in the fifth life....... I learned Raul's "Hunt" closer than anyone else.)

Leechee told Oliver that she was dumbfounded.

“Raul would have thought I was sealed off as a result of his effective performance.... and for some reason, the movement of Lord Arnold. "

I deliberately drank a cup of tea with medicine in order to keep it in a precautionary state.

Remove the map from the small bag and look over the port city of Vinleith.

Dear Oliver, I've put you in charge of the Knight's placement. May I ask for your attention?

"Yes, yes... I've dispersed the knights in the castle skewed over the last few days."There were knights everywhere in Vinleece, so I was wondering if there would be any suspicious activity that would lead to a report of lupus smoke.I'll mark the place where it started. ”

“That's right. With this number and position, you'll notice most anomalies.”

The current situation is different from what Raul said: "The security in the castle is a priority, and the city is in a state of limbo."

It's also thanks to Oliver, who, in response to Leeche's insolent requests, moved the knights on Arnold's behalf.

"Thank you for trusting me, Master Oliver."

Having said that, Oliver was still surprised when he lowered his head deeply.

"...... Mr. Leechee, you have already confirmed the absence of Lord Harriet before you talk to this man named Raul."

Oliver was right.

As a matter of fact, Leechee went first to explore Harriet's room as soon as she noticed the gold.

It was suspicious to approach through the door, so I used a rope to get down the wall from the windows of the Leeches' rooms on the fourth floor.

And I made sure there was no sign of her in Harriet's room on the third floor.

At that point, I switched to rescue rather than protect Harriet.

To find out where Harriet is, we need to get Raul out of here.Oliver, who helped me with that, asks Leeche.

Is it a plan to discourage this man from pretending to be unaware of his abduction by asking him to strengthen his protection?

"It's almost like an impossible operation.It would be more convenient for him to have an unattended room than to be present in his presence. ”

Having said that, Leechee smiled like this.

"...... you......"

"Wow... what is it?"

When Leechee blinked, Oliver smiled softly.

"... no, but I'm looking forward to seeing Leeche-sama and I marry more and more."



How does this flow end up like this?

Leechee was in a panic inside, and the surface was covered with a breeze of nothing.
