Deeply bowed his head, Duke. It is difficult to perceive the heart of a father who has been captured by his daughter. But I only know that he hasn't despaired yet.

"All you have to do is get rid of gratitude and all that. Duke of Harald Alway, how do we move forward?

"Pfile is right. Let's just say we get Olivier and Jared back and crush the traitors."

The Marquis received positively and nodded at Pfile's words, which could be taken both for speech that the air could not read and for reprimand.

"As I said earlier, the status quo is too far behind us. Honestly, I don't know when I'll be wanting to get in touch with the Royal Palace and the Society of Mages"

"I guess. If I were an Orthodox Mage Army, I'd be sure to just crush it there. But the question is, can you crush it?"

I nodded so that everyone would agree with Luther's words.

"Laurenz. There was Leonard Gallagher himself at the school, wasn't there? What do you think the purpose is?

"It's..."

Hiraki, and Laurenz asked around.

I was wondering if I could tell my friend Lars that he was a prince and that teacher Kirshi Santara was the second seat of court magician at his discretion.

Even if the candidate for court magician could be named, he could not tell Laurenz, now an unauthorized child, how far information could be disclosed. You guessed how it went, the Duke of Alway gives you help.

"The Royal School is attended by the Prince of our country. And there is also a second seat for court magicians. Leonard's purpose would be to harm the Prince with much fear."

Hazard - I clouded the word, but I actually tried to kill him. It was also possible that Lars would have been harmed before Kirsi appeared without Laurenz.

I can understand that the rebels mean it everywhere more than they have done irrevocably, such as targeting royalty.

"We ended up failing to say whether we should be fortunate or not, but there may be a second or third time than they targeted the royal family. Then we want to crush them before they take the next action."

"I agree with the Duke. But where are the guys in the Orthodox Mage Army as a matter of fact? Olivier and Jared will have to go into action before they can be completely cloud-hidden."

"I agree with Luther, too. Jared seems to have some purpose, but Olivier is only being taken hostage to Jared. We have to help them while they think they're worth using."

More than anything else, harm could have been done to Olivier, who seemed to have been used. In that case, we must also assume that Jared will go mad, but it is beyond that that he will be harmed.

The most important thing is to recapture Olivier without a scratch. Because if only she could help, Jared's shackles would be gone.

"Of course I know. I ask the Duke of Lüdiger to lend me a soldier. There is also a limit to the number of soldiers because it is the king's capital, but it would be better than not. We're releasing intelligence from both houses, so we'll find their whereabouts even if it takes a little while."

"But the only thing that can be interpreted is the embrace of nobility. You can't beat a Vault Toyfel agent."

The Duke's expression darkens at the assassin's boy's allegations. I don't need to be told, you're right.

Why the continent's strongest assassination organization is called the strongest, it is not simply because it is resistant to battle. With all the people, all the information, it's where Vault Toyfer is said to be the strongest.

"Intelligence is already unleashed on me. Just light up this information and the information you've got on your side and find out where the fools are."

"Thank you, Pfile."

The Duke thanked him for his help, even though he had not thought that he had already moved Vault Toyfer, etc.

"All you have to do is wait for information, but this time is hard. By the way, Duke, I heard."

"What is it?

Luther uttered the question he had always had.

"Do you have any idea why Leonard Gallagher caused this one?

The Duke shakes his neck to the side.

He doesn't even know Leonard Gallagher's reason for treason.

"Unfortunately, it was even unexpected that he was an Orthodox Mage Army. The purpose is equally unclear. We are turning too far behind. Even when they attacked the mansion, they couldn't do anything. If it weren't for Lord Rosa, I wouldn't know what would have happened."

There are soldiers in the Duke's house as well, but they will not be rivaled by the Royal Sorcery Division members who have fully trained and proven themselves as combat magicians. Rosa is unusual for disabling hostile members by herself. Normally, it would have been defeated and by now the Duke's family would have fallen into the hands of the rebels.

Given that, anxiety remains over the cheapness of the clans targeted other than the Baron Dowm family and the Duke of Rüdiger family, which have sufficient fighting power.

"Even assuming the head of the Royal Sorcery Division, or top class of sorcerers belonging to the country, you've often decided to deal with a country no matter how much you were drowning in sorcery. Honestly, I admire that audacity."

"He said at school. When you create a country just for magicians. It must have sounded sweet to the dissatisfied students. Maybe he's strong as a magician, but I think he's better at manipulating people than that."

"Hmm. Either way, I don't need to guess the traitor's mood. Take them all down, that's fine."

Luther and Laurenz were concerned about Leonard's reasons for leading the sorcerer into rebellion, but Pfile cuts and throws away what he found out.

Sure, I don't need to know which antagonistic human mood or anything, but it was also true that knowing could also help me grasp future actions.

"Perhaps we will not know why Leonard Gallagher acted, no, of the Orthodox Mage Army"

I don't want to snort at the Duke's words.

Either way, there's an answer here. It's not a problem.

But with no clear reason to know, it was with me that I felt a little anxiety about fighting the rebels.
