To Emilia's point, Rosa floated a visible and angry shape.
"Are you making fun of me?
"I'm not fooling around."
"I'm supposed to lose to a magician who can only use that much magic. My men just gave it back because it was a handful of feet. I hired an adventurer to avoid revealing Vault Toyfel's involvement."
I see, and Emilia nods.
It is never uncommon for an adventurer to be employed by a nobleman. No one will doubt that you're on guard outside the mansion like this. Most importantly, there are no people around because it is a separate house outside the Wang capital, but I know very well that you are mindful.
"Maybe you're sending your men to a mansion without Jared Murphy?
"No, your mother was loud that she should, but we'll start with Jared Murphy"
"Yes."
I knew she was cautious because I dealt with Rosa for a few days. If Rosa is going to take it down from Jared, I guess you're right. But it's unclear how Cornelia will behave.
Emilia knows her mother's personality very well. If every single one of you has a vicious habit of having a seizure as soon as you don't get what you want, my mother might raid the mansion while Jared is gone, even if Rosa says no.
Given what Trane has been protecting even without Jared, there may be no worries if my mother is currently an adventurer to the extent that she can hire one, just in case.
Emilia asked him to tell her about Yenny's kidnapping and this place because of a match of interest with Pfile, but regrets that she should have also asked him to protect the mansion.
"What's the matter, are you worried about something?
"Yes, a 14-year-old girl is in captivity, so I just thought you'd be anxious."
"Hmm. If you say you can be seen in the face, you can see him. I don't care if I ruin all my mothers because of you. Do as you please."
"Sure. I'll do whatever you want."
Turning her back to Rosa, who stares, Emilia ascends the stairs. I know this mansion well because it has also been brought to a very young age.
When Yennie stands in front of the room where she is being held captive, she takes a big, deep breath.
If I open the door, my mother will of course ruin herself. If you say you're not scared, you're lying. But the time has come to leave my rampant mother alone and take the blame for doing whatever she wants with my father's power.
Be prepared to knock. Of course I was aware that I had not heard back.
When I open the door, I meet Yennie, who looks surprised with Emilia in her eyes.
It is painful to see a girl on the bed, with her hands and legs tied, unable to speak either because of the cloth wrapped around her mouth.
"Be quiet. I'll untie you now. But never raise your voice, okay?
When Yennie makes sure she nods, she takes out the folding knife she had hidden and cuts off the rope between her hands and feet. When the cloth is also removed from the mouth, Yenny breathes heavily in search of oxygen if it was difficult to breathe.
"I'm sorry this happened"
"Lady Emilia... why not?
Words were only exchanged to the extent of greeting, but the two were familiar.
Yennie didn't think her acquaintance was involved in the kidnapping either, her voice is shaking upset.
"I didn't mean to get you involved. It was an excuse, but whoever my mother hired decided it was effective to take you hostage against Master Jared. I'm so sorry."
"- Maybe your brother is already..."
"No, he hasn't shown up yet. I can't keep up with my mother anymore. And I don't want Lady Jared to die."
Explained in a gentle voice so that Emilia could reassure herself as best she could, Yennie pulls her strength out of the body she was stretching. While in a situation of captivity, I perceived the depth of her thoughts when I saw her guide Jared, not myself.
"Listen carefully. I can't let you get away with this because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Lady Jared should be here in a while, so we'll be on the run then. All right?
"Emilia, where are you?
"I seem wary, so I'll go back to the mansion and tell your father all the truth about my mother. I'll call for help before Lady Jared is defeated, so wait."
"Don't worry, your brother won't lose"
I envy Yennie for putting her full confidence in Jared.
Emilia can't believe Jared unconditionally like she did. I may be the same person who thinks of Jared, but in Emilia and Yennie I was made to realize that the size of my thoughts was as if they were different.
If Jared leaves Pfile in the same position as Rosa, Emilia also thinks he won't defeat if he fights properly. But there are hostages. After observing Jared, Rosa is trying to keep him from moving by taking a close human hostage. Really efficient but brutal.
I can come up with the same thing myself, but I can't actually do it no matter how much power I wield in the Duke's house. It's not about power, it's about not being ready to act. All Emilia can do is use her power to intimidate her at best.
"Then wait for Master Jared. I'll call for help soon, so don't try to escape and stay still."
When Yennie makes sure she snorts, Emilia leaves her.
"Um."
"What?"
Yenny calls out to Emilia as she turns her back and tries to get out of the room.
"Be careful, Miss Emilia"
"... thanks. You're a really good boy. I'm sorry I got involved."
I can tell that Yennie is a really sweet kid who leads me knowing Emilia is involved in the kidnapping. I was flattened out about what I couldn't do, and I was embarrassed.
Replying to her without looking back, she gently closed the door.
"What are you going to do now?
Rosa asks Emilia, who walked up the stairs.
"You're going to fight Master Jared, aren't you?
"No. Kill them unilaterally."
"I will go to your mother to stop it."
"I don't expect your mother to change her opinion any more, but if she succeeds, hurry and get in touch. I have no hesitation in taking him down."
For some reason Rosa seemed to have private feelings, but now every minute is a waste.
"I'll remember. I'm telling you, don't do any harm to Yenny Daum. Because your mother is definitely going to be in a bad position."
"She's only a hostage. Send it back politely if you serve your purpose."
"Can you believe that word?
"In the name of Vault Yifer and my father Wahash"
Be careful not to cause harm to Yenny. If Rosa's going to say this far, she really shouldn't be able to get her hands on it. I don't think she makes a difference in her promises with high pride.
If there's a problem, I'm still anxious about how Rosa acts when Jared turns up emotional.
But now I have to tell my father about my mother as soon as possible.
"Be careful to keep the adventurer away from Yennie Daum even if you make a mistake"
"I know. They can tell you not to step inside the building."
Satisfied with Rosa's words, Emilia leaves the building.
An adventurer waiting outside confirms that swordsmen and magicians are one at a time. Nasty grin and nasty gaze can be directed, but ignored and bared beside them.
I hear tongue-beating and wonder why Rosa prepared this degree of adventurer.
"Lady, I've been waiting for you. Thank you for your safety."
An old butler who was serving me from a young age in front of the carriage that kept me waiting was making sure Emilia was safe and put on relief.
Even though Cornelia hired him, he was opposed to Emilia trying to meet the assassination group's people one-on-one.
But I pushed the opposite for Jared and my mother, and I met Rosa. And it was worth it.
Let's hurry back to the mansion.
"Yes, I did. But are you sure?
"It's okay. I've always liked it on my own, so I'm gonna put a bully on myself about the end of it. And I'm a little happy to be able to do something for the first time."
He will probably be severely punished by his father. You won't be kicked out of the house because you're a sweet father, but the story of the political marriage that was prevented thanks to my mother will go on. But to that extent, it's your word.
I honestly don't like marrying a man I don't even like. Now that I have a crush on Jared, I feel even more so. But that's punishment.
Let's just be happy we had our first love.
"I envy Olivier, who is cherished by Master Jared. I don't mean me either, but at least I wanted to be friends."
But I have to accept it because it's the result of my invitation.
"Let's go to your father."
