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

"Dear Oliver, it took me longer than I expected..."

"Oh, if that's the case." I wanted to ask you about the intelligence organization, but first of all, I wanted to solve the old story, but there was more talk than I could imagine... "

"Y-you 're tired..."

Arnold had anticipated it. Maybe Oliver's been hearing information many times before.

"However, thanks to the stories you told me, I also understood the background of what His Highness Dietrich was thinking." And His Highness Dietrich's coup will fail. "

"Ahh!! Oliver, no!! I told you it was a secret!?"

"Your Highness Dietrich, I'm just thinking about the coup, so could you be a little quiet?"

"What are you talking about!?"

Dietrich was shocked, but for the time being, I let it flow. Arnold was completely in conversation with Oliver.

"I don't care about details. Besides, I guess I let the information about the purpose spit out."

"It seems that the existence of an intelligence organization contacted His Highness Dietrich a little over a year ago, in March of last year. Do you have any thoughts, Mr. Leechee?"

"A month later, in April, Marie, a privileged student, is enrolled in our college."

Your Highness Dietrich's current fiancé.

With Marie's name out, Dietrich's complexion suddenly turned blue.

"What...!? Wait! Marie's not one of those bad guys!!"

“I know. Marie-sama probably used it just for this one time. Given her plight, it is unlikely that she has been employed as an agent for a long time. If you were really a member of the Intelligence, you would have been adequately rewarded.”

Besides, I don't think he was trying to spy on Dietrich. Dietrich's lack of involvement in national politics should have been clear to others.

Oliver nodded to Leechee's words.

“I agree with Mr. Leeche. It must have been Arnold from the very beginning, not the intel on Dietrich.”

“Marie may have been instigated to marry the royal nobleman she met at the academy. However, the sighs of those attending the college were that you all had fiancés... noble men who took the bold action of breaking their fiancée would inevitably be narrowed down to one person even if the" organization "didn't bother to designate them......"

Dietrich's gaze poured on the scene, and Dietrich, who had attracted attention, looked a little happy. But I ignore it.

“Marie approached His Highness Dietrich and, in the way she was taught by the organization, disguised my bad deeds as my fiancée at the time. His Highness Dietrich would have believed that and decided to plead not guilty to me. His Highness Dietrich is easy to understand, so it is highly likely that he has read it so far.”

………………

"Lord Arnold, you don't look like that...!" This is how you look, a man with a strong sense of justice. The difficulty is that the view is one-sided and the assumptions are intense. "

"I'm not sure, but I stand out right now...!?"

Dietrich seems happy after all. Arnold tongued, but said nothing, apparently prioritizing the conversation.

"Assuming that the purpose of the intelligence organization is to summon His Highness Arnold to the Land of Hermiti, not to destroy His Highness Dietrich's information or my engagement itself...."

It seemed like a very far-fetched plan. Still, it's routine to need a few years' preparation time for intelligence work.

If it had only taken a year and a little, it might have been a less laborious plan for them.

"Grrrr... using me and above all Marie, who is honest and pure in her heart, is a mysterious organization...!!" But we can't resist that thought! At first, Marie might have a purpose. Even now, true love is nurtured.... "

“It seems that the suspicious person who took part in the evening party in the Ermiti country a year ago in March named a high-ranking official of Khalil Rasha”

"Hey Oliver! Didn't you listen to me!?"

(Your Highness Dietrich, you're strangely nostalgic for Master Oliver...)

As expected, Arnold just said, "This hand is Oliver's specialty." Oliver went ahead and talked.

“The person approached His Highness Dietrich and advised him to have a coup d 'état in the near future. Isn't that right, Lord Dietrich?"

Dietrich nodded reluctantly, just in case Oliver did.

(Khalil Rasha, Land of the Deserts... the country ruled by King Zahad. But that person named a high-ranking official should have nothing to do with Khalil Rasha.)

A man with a plan can't be honest about his origins.

Khalil Rasha is a great power. Although he is now friendly with Galkhain, Arnoldt is one of the few nations in the future to have the power to fight Galkhain.

The enemy who wanted to take Galkhain down must have lied so that his relationship with Khalil Rasha would deteriorate in the unlikely event that this matter were to come to light.

"That's why I wanted to take Lord Arnold out to the Land of Hermiti....."

The only thing that reminds me is a bandit raid on the way home.

The carriage was attacked, the knights were wounded, and the sword was painted with a medicine for numbness. At that time, Leechee made the antidote.

(... your knight was ordered to fall back, and Lord Arnold himself exchanged swords... because he was concerned at the time that the assault was behind it.)

Arnold has a self-sacrificing mindset. Perhaps the biggest factor in fighting alone is the habit.

However, another reason was that the bandits considered the danger of being a specially trained intelligence unit.

(The events of that bandit attack were all within the alert range of Lord Arnold......)

I breathe deeply into it.

“… to get around the country of Ermiti and Galkhain, you have to go through narrow, less crowded roads. Inevitably, it will become a small group, and His Highness's escort will be significantly reduced than in Galkhain....."

One of the reasons why the small country of Hermiti was not invaded by Galkhain during the war was that it was difficult to move large armies.

For Galkhain, there was little to gain from a tough march, so he was able to escape the invasion despite the proximity of his country.

The mastermind behind the intelligence organization has attempted to summon Arnold to the Ermiti nation to take advantage of its conditions.

It may have been to attack Arnold and cause harm to Arnold and the Gulkhein nation in a favorable location for the enemy, like in the woods at the time.

"At that time, the bandits had poisoned their swords to numb people."...... if Lord Arnold were to use poison and medicine no matter how strong you are..... "

I was horrified to imagine such a situation.

But Arnold didn't seem to feel any danger.

"It doesn't matter." What's the use of the poison in a sword that never hits? "

"Sure enough, Lord Arnold can't be behind the bandits...!!"

Even so, I felt sincerely that I wanted to rely on my surroundings a little more. Even though I believed in Arnold's sword moves, the feeling of becoming anxious in this way contradicted me quite a bit.

And Oliver asked Dietrich again.

Isn't it a high-ranking Khalil Rasha who gave His Highness Dietrich 'advice' on the betrothal of Leechee?

"Um, um... no, I wasn't instigated!! I'm on the side of justice for my beloved Marie....."

"Shut up. Shut up."

”Hiiiii!!”

Arnold unpleasantly abandoned his words, then took the paper from Oliver and began to look through the scripted text.

Leechee also stretches her back and tries to peek into the document. Arnold noticed that and lowered his hand to a position where it was easy for Leechee to see.

Say thank you and join Arnold as he begins to read what he heard from Dietrich. Dietrich rushed around the Leeches.

"Hey, hey, Lord Arnold..."

"Shut up. Don't talk to me."

"Wow! If this happens, Leechee...!"

The moment Dietrich asked for help, Arnold lifted his face, looking troublesome.

"... if Leeche tells me, I'll listen"

"Oh! Can you hear me?!"

After Dietrich shone his face, he fell down and opened his mouth.

"I-I 'm asking Oliver." You're going to kill Princess Sylvia to capture the evil organization that whispered to me? ”

“Sylvia decided not to tell Dietrich that she was involved in intelligence.” Oliver explained that "Sylvia the Song Princess is a bona fide ally in the operation".

"What is that?"

"No, I knew it!!" Don't you think the Prince is a good-looking prince? It stands out from the crowd and is glamorous! After all, I'm the prince! "

"What do you want to say..."

"I mean...!"

Dietrich opens his mouth with great hesitation.

"I'm not saying that I should choose a weak singer, but rather be a great person like me...!!"

…………

Dietrich's words surprised Oliver.

Arnold was expressionless, but quietly looked down at Dietrich. Dietrich continued with a thoughtful gesture of regret.

"Oh, after all, you're scared to be a pig, aren't you?" It is terrible to ask the singing princess for it. Compared to that, I am always ready!! After all, he is the great prince!! "

……

"Actually, I thought it was strange!!" The man who summoned me yesterday didn't come to the meeting point. I was wearing a robe and waiting with a good look on my face! From that moment on, you may have been fooled... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! "

…………

"Yes, because the mysterious existence is aimed at Galkhain, I came to teach it!!"... so, if you need me, I don't care... "

Though he was trembling, Dietrich said so.

"...... Your Highness Dietrich......"

Leechee opens her mouth in surprise at his courage.

"--It is not worthy of Your Highness Dietrich."

Nah!?

With all due respect, Dietrich looked at us as he almost knelt down.
