The Villainous Daughter does not Dance with the Dragon

Kaminski's funeral took place promptly. Not in the territory of the Counts, but in the territory of the Vazas.

It was rumored by the surroundings that it was a manifestation of the Duke's respect for Kaminski, or because it took into account the Duchess' movement, which was not in good health.

At the end of the funeral, the Duchess Yadovica returned to the mansion to sleep for a few days, whether there was also fatigue.

I was twice as active and healthy as a girl. It seems to Leshek that she sleeps terribly horrible.

"Remilia, has knitting progressed?

Yadovica gets herself up on the bed and asks her daughter. Remilia smiled with a face that she could tell immediately that she must have cried.

"I can do it right away. I'll show you later, Mother."

"... you're a good knitter, Remilia. It's like..."

……

"No, it's nothing. Really good."

Remilia has been on Yadovica's side for the past few days.

He makes his own cold gear in a pattern that matches his mother's knitted hats and socks. Knitting is an excuse - I guess I noticed my mother and was there for her.

"Leshek, because of your stuff, shall we align it?

"... to me? I hope I make your share before then."

"Let's all align! That would be fun. Father."

"Oh, yeah"

Lechek's chest hurt by the sight of his smiling mother and daughter. People behave unnaturally bright after sudden grief. Because if you don't, you'll be dragged into the swamp of sorrow.

Leshek remembered. Many times. At first she was my mother. Then Agnieshka, who was my grandparents, my nanny, my fiancée...

"Oh, me, I left one yarn in my room"

Remilia rises up and leaves the room with the samurai.

Silence falls without any reason for the couple left behind.

Tomash, who is escorting the couple on behalf of some busy Stannis, moved carelessly to the front of the door.

Reshek took his daughter's knitted socks.

"... Remilia is a good knitter"

"I like some fine work - it's like... agni"

My wife's gaze drops with the words.

Reshek sat at his wife's side and reached out. Common soft brown hair for Kaminski brothers and sisters. Agnieshka had the same hair color.

"- I still dream about it. Give me that girl who came home with a bright blue face. I fell asleep when I wasn't feeling well - ten days later, I felt so uncomfortable..."

Reshek grabbed Yadovica's trembling hand. I've touched my hand so many times, I pretended not to notice until recently that it was so warm.

- When Agnieshka died, I said terrible things to you.

"... it's true..."

Agnieshka got sick at the treatment center where he was comforted and died.

It was supposed to be Yadovica to console me. Yadovica, reluctant to go to the infirmary just on a whim... My sister was the understudy.

"It's not your fault. It's not Vika's fault Agnieshka died - it was something I had no choice about. It's nobody's fault."

"Reshek......"

Poop, and Shizuku falls from Yadovica's eyes.

"I was, stupid...... Because of you, I fled Agnieška's death. Hurt you - and I'm relieved. Agnieshka's death wasn't my fault, and... yes, I wanted to think... It was my fault, actually."

There is always the smell of death stuck around Leshek.

Everyone he loves is dying.

Yadovica looked sadly at her fallen husband.

When we met, he was a lonely boy. Separation and betrayal are scratched, with glassy eyes.

Agnieshka was the first to heal Leshek, who closed his heart.

"And Ukash."

Cloudy with empty eyes in case of grief.

"- It's like I killed him. I turned my back on everything and pressed my blame on him - putting him on the arrow - turning a grudge he shouldn't bear -"

Yadovica embraced Leshek.

I used to do that to him when he was young.

"Vika - I was, stupid and cowardly. - You just have to stick it in the garden and wait scared the storm will pass -"

That way, misfortune passes...

"... trying to face what you've been turning away from, I think"

"You"

"I do not want the restoration of Vaza or anything else. I think we should move on with the peaceful future of this country laid by Beatrice..."

The two people who let go of their bodies stared at each other.

"I want to contain the militia's radicals and reassure the country's political situation."

"... leshek"

"You may be discouraged, but the hour cannot be undone. I am not willing to sit on the throne. The Vazza royal family is no longer a relic of the past. Besides, my sister and the military want to die."

Yadovica smiled bitterly and wiped her eyes. My father says.

"My father would say. Why didn't you tell me that while I was alive! and"

"Vika"

"- For the first time, I think I've heard your thoughts - the foolish thing is that I've been doing the opposite of what you want -"

Reshek shook his wife's hand. I was sick to say it was a temporary moon, I couldn't eat much, and I lost weight.

"There was a medical examination inside from Beatrice. I want to return to my official duties. I am going to help make her reign a cornerstone. I want to lose the roots of the scourge surrounding Vaza for Remilia and the children who are born..."

"Leshek"

"I'm sorry I'm an unreliable husband..., it may be too late, but I want to protect you guys. - To hide is to stop."

Yadovica shook her head. Wrap her husband's hand, which holds his left hand, with his right palm even more.

"It's not too late. - Glad."

"Vika"

"Promise me, Leshek. I'm sure he'll protect the kids."

"... oh"

"I'm sure you are."

"... I'm sure"

The couple softly turned away.

Half a month after Kaminski's funeral without grief, the killer was captured.

The body, to be exact.

It was - a young soldier - who killed Ukash Kaminski. That was the conclusion reached by the army and the royal palace.

A young man from Canaan, still not long after graduating from military school, suspected of being from a badge left on the scene - he said he was out of breath when his platoon boss visited his room to capture him.

He said there was a suicide note on the side of the body that appeared to have died, and this is what it said.

"Protest against peace with the West (Tais) and defeat the traitor (Kaminski)"

and.

"Too much is being done - someone trying to assassinate drops a badge or something."

Tausik, the knight in charge of protecting the Vaza family, threw up in frustration. Next to it Viscount Clef arms himself with a difficult face. In Tausik's chamber, the three heard news from the military.

"I know it's the military, but I know it's the Chancellor's kid, but I'm gonna find him and make him see the same thing."

I don't know if it's true or false to sideways a sudden tausik, but Stannis shrugs.

"... there would have been at least three of them. There weren't many cuts left alone -"

The bodies were retrieved by three men: Leshek and Stannis, and Yuzef Kaminski, but Stannis ascertained from the neck of the body down when the counts' sons took their seats off.

At least ten of certain wounds, some shallow.

And there are two things that seem fatal. - Both were swung down with bright cuts.

"Dead killers are left-handed, and all the wounds were shaken down from the left."

"You think it's the same person?

Clef raised an eyebrow. Oh, and Stannis affirmed. There are no extra people around, so the tone is a relief.

"... to see if I made it look like it.... The good guy's slashing mouth is shallow enough to be nicely cut... Didn't you convey your powers well because you weren't the right one? I don't know if you were willing to hide it, but why did Kaminski get killed? Who disturbed him?"

Stannis is deep and exhales. Clef did his gaze far away. As if mourning the deceased.

"I don't know. Too many thoughts. Count Kaminski was corrupt so that the Dukes and their wives could live without a connection. It's hard not to have an Earl who seemed to have influence in the military, being a bridge with the royal family and an ally in the military - even if the Duke were to return to his official duties - so that His Excellency would never use his position."

"What about Master Yuzef?

"- Master Yuzef is a good man. But to be as flexible as the Count - you will. There seems to be a rebellion in His Majesty's thoughts on the army."

When Stannis nodded, yes, he heard several rushing shoe sounds from the hallway.

Driven out anxiously, a woman with a spotted face was blue-faced and running down the hallway.

"Natalia, what's going on?

"Mr. Stannis!

The samurai with Yadovica approached Stannis to persevere.

"What's up, so much running and where are you going"

"To get away, - I have to go get Dr. Sapir!

"What's up?"

"My wife! Master Yadovica has suffered...!

…… The teacher goes for me. Will you go back and follow your wife? "

"Yes......!

Stannis rushed out of the room in the opposite direction with the samurai.
