The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

"His Highness Arnold was suspicious from the beginning, wasn't he?" That's why you took me to the opera that night during your busy official duties..... "

……

After all, Arnold's actions are surprisingly elaborate.

The day Leechee met Arnold, it could be said that his purpose was not to hold a diplomatic evening, but to investigate Galkhain's presence.

Even before that, Arnold would have suspected the opera troupe that came to Galkhain at this timing. And perhaps, at that point, we were already on the alert for Sylvia.

I remember having this conversation after sitting at the theater.

Nevertheless, I didn't know that the star of tonight was Sylvia the Song Princess. It's been a long time since I heard her sing, so I'm really looking forward to it. ”

... have you seen the opera performed by this actor before?

When Leechee named Sylvia, Arnold had a moment of silence to think about something.

It may have been a reaction to Leechee's admiration for an agent Arnold suspected of knowing nothing about.

"... through Theodore to Oliver, I've heard what happened the next day"

Arnold told us the day Sylvia came to thank Leeche.

"Not many people come to visit castles in other countries without promises." Not to mention that well-known opera performers are unlikely to learn such tricks. It was an act whose only purpose was to get close to the heart of this country on the pretext that it saved lives. ”

……

When she heard it, Gootheil pressed his forehead as if he had noticed something, took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth.

"That day, I had my doubts when I sent Lord Sylvia by order of His Highness Theodor." Someone seemed to be watching Lord Sylvia from a distance. ”

"Huh...?"

Sylvia raises her face and stares at Gutheil with a tendency to hesitate. Finally, Gootheil, whose gaze could be stacked, apologized to Sylvia.

"It wasn't an unfamiliar cadre, it was monitored by Galkhain's knights." But the fact that you're being watched by others is terrible for a woman, isn't it? I felt sorry that I didn't want to tell you, but that I had to keep quiet. ”

"... that's why you sent me to the inn at that time?"

Of course it is.

Gutthey tells you clearly in a powerful voice.

“It was my role to never frighten or protect you.”

"...... ah"

Sylvia's eyes were soaked with tears. Sylvia leaned down in a panic to hide it.

"Oh... I was surprised to hear such a word."... but I'm sorry. "

Sylvia is trying to laugh, but everyone knows her voice is shaking.

"You already know that, don't you? I'm an agent who was ordered to infiltrate Galkhain, and that's why I asked Gutheil to do it...."

"Sylvia"



Leechee calls out her name in order to stop her heartless words.

“You know very well that you have not approached Mr. Gootheil for that purpose.”

"Eh......"

When Leechee saw Gutheil, he nodded earnestly.

"That's right, Lord Sylvia." The day I saw you for the second time, I told you about my father. Do you remember? "

"... I haven't forgotten." I don't know what happened that day. "

"You should have understood that." I'm suspected in this country and I don't have any information that's worth stealing. Even so, you stared straight at me. "

"......!"

Sylvia's expression, as Gutheil said, was like a lost little child.

Even Leechee, who was told by Theodore that she was "insensitive to the love of others", understood that Sylvia's love was not a lie.

Sylvia was the only one who wanted Guthey to be present.

For Sylvia, who admitted that she was an agent, the presence of Guthey on the scene where the crime would be laid to rest would be very painful and unbearable. Guthey would have taken care of it and tried to leave the room.

"Tell me, Sylvia."

Leechee gently calls out to Sylvia.

"You may have been an agent, indeed. But now it's just a little different, isn't it?"

"... Mr. Leechee...?"

"The current Sylvia is the enemy of those who have been directing the intelligence. ― ― Aren't you trying to quit the agent and escape?



At that moment, Sylvia took a breath.

“Otherwise, I don't know why you fell on stage on the day of your first performance. Of course, assuming that your illness is caused by poison or medicine."

But if that assumption isn't mistaken, there's something more to see.

"If my people get out of the organization, it could be a great danger to the agents, right?" I've heard that if someone wants to quit, they'll have to kill him to make sure his secret doesn't get out. Sylvia showed a desire to quit intelligence, and as a result, she seems to have been drugged as a warning. ”

"... that's...!"

Sylvia is obviously a wolf. Unlike the majestic appearance on the stage, the appearance is very painful.

"If Sylvia falls there, it will be convenient for the intelligence organization." The Knights of Guard will be involved in the rescue of the fallen Sylvia. Sylvia was terrified of being killed, and she might soon change her mind and have contact with a knight who helped her. ”

……

"However, it was not the usual knights who were guarding the noble areas in the theatre that day."... because His Highness Arnold's Guards were assigned to watching the play. "

The matter itself is not kept secret. I'm sure the person who ordered Sylvia's intel will have gotten the information.

(Sylvia thinks it's a 'warning' if she gets her medication on such a day and the opera stops.)

Arnold's Guardian Knights, assigned to the guard, were supposed to be mobilized to help Sylvia.

If Leechee hadn't moved and instructed the Guardian Knights, someone from the Guardian Knights would have been in contact to confirm the situation.

It creates a connection with Sylvia. From the intelligence director's point of view, it would have been a good opportunity to get information on Crown Prince Arnold and the Gulkhein Knights from the Kingsguard.

(However, it seems that Lord Arnold had even read it before....)

Reminds me once again of the situation that day.

(The theatre was guarded not only by His Royal Highness the Arnold Guard, but also by other knights.)

Arnold said it was the first step toward expanding the Kingsguard. Leechee sees it, imagines that Arnold has a reason to increase his strength, and knows that Arnold is looking to a bigger enemy in the future.

But the theater was heavily guarded that night, not just for future expansion.

(I knew from the beginning that if His Highness the Arnold would go to a large theatre, the agents might come into contact with His Highness the Arnold or the Kingsguard. That's why I mixed up other knights in that day's security....... His Highness Theodor said, 'personnel who are excellent but are treated coldly without being given a position', that is, people who do not have serious information......)

One of them is the only Goot Haile.

(After I finished Sylvia's first aid, it seems that Lord Arnold, who was in the waiting room, was accompanied by Mr. Gutheil, not the Knight Guard. At that time, I was very upset that you were accompanying my future lord....)

But now I understand Arnold's intentions.

(To avoid choosing your own Kingsguard as a knight who carries Sylvia who has fallen and makes contact with "saved her life". --that's why you took Mr. Gutheil, who can't get an important position in the Knights.)

The reason for this situation was that the theaters and troupes had been informed of it when Richet and the others decided to go to the opera.

(His Highness Arnold is the one who hates the annoyance of appearing in public as a crown prince. "I should have wondered sooner than later that the spectator wasn't being punished..." If you want to attract the attention of other aristocrats and lay a special guard by the Guard, you'll be able to choose to go out on your own.)

With that in mind, Leechee glances at her neighbor Arnold. Even in such a situation, the look on the side that doesn't seem to interest me very much is beautiful.

(I haven't grasped this guy yet)
