To Deprive a Deprived Person

"This surprised me. It's the Marquis de Faich."

"I didn't know you'd be attending a one-adventurer's medal ceremony."

It is the two escort knights who serve the Papal family who watch the nobles enter between successive sights from afar.

And the fact that these two are here naturally means the figure of William Bona Papal, the head of the Papal family, was also here.

"Because your palace won't be attending?

"Heading to that place is like jumping naked into a fire without any preparation"

"But His Majesty and Satou are in contact.

I'm pretty sure today's Symphony ceremony has something to do with it, okay?

The royal castle has countless secret detectives sent by the nobles of each faction. Naturally, William also releases secret detectives to various places, including guards to civilians and samurai. One of them was reporting to William that Yu and Muss had made contact with King Woodon at the Royal Palace.

"If you don't mind me saying so, I don't mind.

Freshness of information is important. That said, this is not necessarily my plot to broil out my unleashed spy. I'd love to hear more about it, but the Chancellor will already be sealing his mouth with his good contract magic. "

And a few new aristocrats pass before Williams, and enter between the sights. Every nobleman is of the Value Faction.

"More than anything...... I don't want to be blinded. Because I can't play with him."

William's expression whining so was full of bitterness, not acting or anything else. Neither did the two escorts dare to ask back or mention their names on such occasions, as they know very well who William is talking about.

"Neither the adventurer nor Count Muss has come."

One of the aristocrats attending during the sight speaks loudly to the next aristocrats as he can hear them around.

The voice reaches the ears of Carl Heinz, Morphis and Edda, representatives of the Adventurer Guild, lining up farthest from the throne.

"You don't seem to know the courtesy of nobility, such as the son of a traitor and a lowly adventurer entering the room after us."

"Traitors, etc., and this is the royal castle. It's not for your own good to hear too much of that."

"Huh. Who can give our faction an opinion?"

A short distance away, Value was checking his face to observe the attendees.

Value was forcing King Woodon to half-fully ask him to join all the nobles of his own faction in this medal ceremony.

Therefore, if anyone belonged to the Value Faction but did not participate in the scene, it could be regarded as hostile to the Value.

(Hmm. Looks like they're all here. but......)

Between the sights, there is an unlikely aristocracy attending a medal ceremony for normal adventurers. But all of them were of the Value Faction.

Value begins to wonder how much she has forced herself into it, yet she finds not a single nobleman of the Royalty but the Neutrality.

There must be a Value-sponsored meeting after this medal ceremony in the first place. Yet I have not seen my face as one person in the royal castle during the sight.

"François, what's wrong?

As if to shake off that suspicion, Value speaks to François, a civilian who refrains from taking sides.

"Is Lord Gareth waiting near the door at the behest of Lord Value?

"No, he also seems to be concerned about today's medal ceremony, and I brought him in because he wants to attend, but I can't try to move from that place. He's my escort, but he's in trouble."

"Really..."

From earlier on, François looked uncommonly restless. Surprisingly, those who know him, usually calm and deposited, are busily looking at every corner between the glances.

(It's not like there's a trap set otherwise, nor does it look like you're lurking besides the soldiers you see. No one is dressed as a civilian and confused. But the air drifting into this room…)

François, one of the highest ranking petals (petals) among the intelligence services of the Holy Country Jardalk, manifests his vigilance at its smelly (...) smell drifting between sights.

"Dear Value, I have a few concerns. May I wait outside to protect you or just in case?"

"What are you saying?

It's not a good shame that I'm leaving now. There's a whole faction of people here on my orders, isn't there? For what reason am I the only one who can get out of my seat in such a place? "

"We are very aware of your feelings. But this -"

"We're finally here."

In that voice, the gaze of the nobles who were bickering gathers to the door. Following the muss of the same floating attitude as usual, this one also enters the room with a yu wrapped in armor with the same sword as usual.

"What!? He said he was going to wear his weapon while he was watching!

"I'm a filthy adventurer.

I don't understand the courtesies of our nobles. "

"The appearance of Count Muss is somewhat misguided by the remarkable economic development of the territory under your rule here recently."

"Ruri. You don't seem to be aware that your Majesty is only entrusted with the administration of the Territory."

"In the first place, Your Majesty, why did you give such a traitor's son a title?

Yu ignores and moves forward among the murmuring aristocrats.

"Dear Value, we haven't talked..."

"Enough is enough. I'll talk to you later."

Francois still tries to persuade him, but Value breaks the story and goes to the aristocrats who join him.

"Well, Yu, they're gonna say terrible things."

"Edda, shut up."

"Morphis is right. Why is there a fox here?"

Originally, only Carl Heinz, the head of the Adventurer Alliance headquarters, and Morpheus, the head of the Urban Cummer Adventurer Alliance, were scheduled to attend the medal ceremony. But Edda didn't listen to Morpheus when she said she would follow him, too. Thanks to this, Morpheus became the feather of being briefed and complained about by Royal Castle clerks.

"You're not hot on women, are you?

Edda sticks her finger in its long ear and shakes her neck to the left and right to point her gaze at Morpheus and Carl Heinz.

"Hello!

"Don't you know I have Fifi?

"You're paranoid drowning. Feefi's sexual preference is also refracted - no, are you glad it was done to that extent?

Well, I don't care about that. More than that. As promised properly, I guess you can handle it equally, right?

"Oh, that's it!? My bond with Fifi is better than steel. - Hmm, okay. When a female fox is an opponent, she can't understand where she spins a thousand words.

Plus, I made a promise to Feefi. As the head of all Adventurer Alliances, you will be equal. Then His Majesty will see you. "

The sound of a seven-colored bell echoes during the sight.

First the nobles, then the civilians and soldiers, then the Morphis kneel down and bow their heads.

The sound of the second bell stops ringing, and King Wodon, Clemens Klau Ning Balchett, who was escorted by Kingsguard with the Chancellor at the head along with the sound of the third bell, appears.

"Become!?

"Be disrespectful!

"Do you know where this is?!?

Surprising voices leaked one after another from among the kneeling nobles.

Here in the royal castle, if you speak without the permission of King Woodon, you will be punished as much as a nobleman. Still, I couldn't help but say...

(Ah...... that guy is stupid!?

The same goes for Finance Minister Value, as everyone kneels down to welcome King Woodon. Just one, stunned by Yu's appearance as he stood without even kneeling.

But instead of King Woodon or Chancellor Boles uttering any words against Yu for such disrespectful behavior, there was not even a change in his expression and he naturally accepted the act.

(Cook...... Cook...... Kuhahahaha! That's it, that's it, King Woodon!! The Lower Bitch Adventurer licked me so far that I couldn't say anything! After all, this me with noble blood, I am the one who should guide the Kingdom of Woodon!! It is wrong for such a civilian out personality breaker to hold the throne forever!! Almost there. Just a little more patience and that throne will be mine!!

The value of the mouth angle rises naturally, pulling the face. And he imagined himself sitting on the throne, telling him to calm down to his sooner beating.

"Raise your face."

Prime Minister Balls speaks as King Woodon's hand moves.

What appeared in the eyes of everyone who raised their faces was that of King Woodon, who had the same mild grin as usual.

The nobles were so applauded for their appearance. I was wondering if there was no blame for the disrespect of the adventurer that happened in front of me.

"Your Majesty, let us proceed with the Medal Ceremony"

King Woodon nodded slightly at Balls' words, and one of the clerks said the ordained ceremony.

The Medal Ceremony proceeds solemnly without anything.

"- I commend the achievements of Yu Satou and bestow upon His Majesty the Honourable Wodon Great Chapter (Daiju) over the Kingdom of Wodon, His Majesty Kramens Kraw Ning Balchett."

A different clerk from the clerk reading the ceremony brings a pedestal with a medal to King Woodon.

King Woodon rose from the throne to Eagle Deep as he moved.

"Yu Sato, Previous"

As kings and many nobles join, Yu's attitude, which has not moved slightly, can also be received as if he were arrogant with his liver resting on him.

When King Woodon took his medal from a civilian pedestal and Yu tried to move forward...

"Please wait!!

A loud voice echoed during the sight.

"Your Majesty, wait for the medal to be given to that person!!

It was one of the participating nobles who raised his voice.

As he jumped out of the aristocrats who continued to participate in the momentum, he rushed to the front of King Woodon and Yu and knelt.

"Baron Dautowam, what are you going to say to His Majesty during the medal ceremony?!!

"Such inaction is unprecedented in the history of the Medal Ceremony!

"I guess that would be a proposition to be prepared for!!

A voice flies over condemning Baron Dautowam early in the arrow succession.

But no matter how blameworthy he was, Baron Dautowam was dignified without fear.

"Punishment is ready!!

Your Majesty, you will not be listening to my advance before then!! After that, you can do whatever you want with this!!

"How disrespectful!!

"It's in front of His Majesty! Unwithheld!!

"What are the Kingsguards doing! Hurry up and capture this disrespecter!!

"Hear me out, and tell your majesty to get out!

The venue becomes even more noisy.

When they didn't think I'd be able to clean it up like this...

"Silently."

Along with the voice of Finance Minister Value, the nobles quieted back as if they were also in a meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen. This is one of the five kingdoms, during the sight of the royal castle that the Kingdom of Oudon is proud of, and even before His Majesty, whom we serve. If you are a nobleman, I would ask you to behave in a dignified manner commensurate with that noble blood.

Your Majesty, Baron Dautowam is ready to advance in unison.

Why don't we just give you a chance to make a statement here, whether you listen or not?

To the words of Value, King Woodon nods as usual.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

The mouth of Value, bowing his head to King Woodon, was giggling damned.

"Baron Dautowam, thank Your Majesty for allowing me to speak, despite my lawlessness on such occasions"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your merciful consideration.

I obstructed His Majesty's medal because this Yu Satou is not worthy to receive the medal!!

The nobles who had been making noise earlier said, "Quiet!!" and hold it down.

"Baron Dautowam, is that not speculation or anything, but a statement with solid grounds?

Even stared at by Chancellor Balls' sharp glance, Dautowam nodded loudly with his chest open without fright.

"It was a coincidence that I realized that.

In less than two years, B-rank adventurers, if that's a tough guy, were interested in this seemingly pure boy. "

Muss, plus Morphis and Edda slapped themselves in the mouth, covered it with their hands. Carl Heinz, lined up next to Morphis, looks at the act in surprise.

"As I looked into it, I noticed a horrible fact.

He worked a number of evils with people from the backward society spreading through the slum streets of the city Kammer.

All I wanted to do was make it cute, and from banned drugs to illegal trafficking in human beings, that heinous criminal activity was enough to make me want to turn away.

Terribly enough, this man was so free to use the people in the back of society that he could say that those evils were perfect to appear on the surface. Shh!! It was tough to imagine how much evil dyed your hands as a result of becoming a high-ranking adventurer in this short period of time!

If it came to light that His Majesty had given such a great evil man a medal, the prestige of the Kingdom of Oudon, which bears the name of the Five Powers, would fall to the earth, and from the people and the royal nobility of other nations, how much slander would be directed against His Majesty and our nobility!! It's too late after the medal, so sooo!! Now! I want to stop you in this place!! I believe it is my duty as a nobleman to advance!!

Baron Dautowam's hot valve calms down between his eyes. The first to open his mouth was the nobility of the Value Faction, Viscount Sospiro.

"Baron Dautowam, I am also impressed by your loyalty to the Kingdom of Oudon, which likewise takes its name to the nobility of the Kingdom of Oudon.

But I guess you have the key evidence, huh?

"Yes, there is.

This is the last letter sent to me by Sir Silamy, the brother of Baron Dani, who, along with a few of his squire, headed to Kammer in an attempt to ascertain his authenticity. "

The letter in its hand remained sealed with beeswax from the Baron Dani family.

"Do you want to be called the last? No way...... Sir Syllamy Ha!?

"Guess what.

Even knowing he wouldn't escape the chase of Yu Satou and the others who were told the secret, he sent me this at the end of the day!

The letter, spread with both hands, contained a number of alleged crimes committed by Yu. Whenever Baron Dautowam reads its contents, he is told by the nobles who join him, "You should be condemned to death!" "It's a horrible boy... were we ever to be fooled!?" "Trying to conspire with Your Majesty!!" "Weren't the medal nominees Count Muss?" and start making noises as you please.

In the first place, it was Value Finance Minister who worked to give Yu the Medal of Wodon Daiju (Daiju), but at some point Muss was the nominee.

"But isn't it just based on what's written in that letter? I too, Sir Silamy, Baron Dani's younger brother, know, was a man who didn't hear very good rumors. I don't think such a person suddenly changed his mind and became a legitimate nobleman."

The Marquis of Feach sneaks over to Dautowam with a mean grin.

"Whatever it takes. Isn't that a lot of talk, Marquis Feach!!

"It's an insult to Baron Dautowam, who has advanced to the point of risking his life!!

"Faech Lord, you should withdraw your words and apologize even now!!

Even with accusations from the nobles, the Marquis de Feach remains smiling.

And Baron Dautowam raises his hand and urges everyone to remain still.

"What the Marquis of Feach says is true. I am deeply aware that my testimony and what is written in this letter are not enough letters."

"Well, so you're saying there's something else?

"Whatever. I have other physical evidence for you, but if you listen to your testimony more than that, everyone will be satisfied."

"Mm-hmm. Who the hell is that..."

The nobles, the civilians and the soldiers are breathtaking.

Baron Dautowam, in a calm motion, pointed to the person.

"Ba, it's Value Finance Minister. Take!?

Everyone is uniquely surprised.

Marquis Feach asks, as if to represent the nobles.

"Sir Value, I wonder if Baron Dautowam would like to say this? If it's just a lie, you better be clear."

"Baron Dautowam has not lied as one"

"Hey, what the hell!?

"I knew it!

"Ko... isn't this some mistake? I can't believe that Minister of Finance Value, the head of the Knox family, kept such evil quiet and so on!

With a deeply sad look on his face, Value lifts his face to the left and right.

"Before this mattered, I wanted to solve it on my own.

After the Medal Ceremony, I applied to His Majesty to open it, and I was about to ask for forgiveness.

If I may add, besides what Baron Dautowam has read out, Yu Satou is also involved in the illegal capture of the Dryad protected in the Lame Union, the disappearance of the Spirit in question in the Kingdom of Oudon "

"Dry aad!? It's not a scene where you get stuck in another country!!

"If that's true, how many peasants are in distress by spiritual disappearance!!

When Value tries to hold him down with both hands, the noisy aristocrats shut their mouths.

"To make sure it was true and false, I ordered a search for Dryad to the adventurer clan Leaf of Power, which I take care of, but no one came back alive than the city Cummer.

I heard that I was hunting illegal slaves, and I sent thousands of private soldiers, but as one as well, I never came back to me alive.

Mixing potions with other banned drugs and obtaining unfair profits to the detriment of the Alchemy Guild, and how they beckoned Count Muss, the manipulation of other nobles turning their hands not to pursue criminal activity, can only be described as brilliant in a sense.

Misleading the enormous sums of money earned in those criminal acts, sparing the inherent taxes payable to the Adventurer's Alliance and causing great damage to the Kingdom of Woodon and the Adventurer's Alliance. "

"And it's a death sentence!

"Extreme punishment is inevitable!!

"I thought such a monster was nesting in the Kingdom of Oudon. Ha!!

"Count Muss knew and conspired!!

The noblemen who exasperate their emotions and curse Yu and Muss try to pack it up for the two of them.

"Silence."

In a voice of value, the nobles stopped the movement.

"I can understand your anger. But as I said earlier, we are nobles who should serve as role models for our people.

You should suppress your emotions and behave like an elegant person. "

A nobleman who tried to say something hardens when he sees Value's face.

Tears were telling him to give Value's cheek, and he was running down the floor.

"Is it for our nobles, who are entrusted with the government of the country, to offer cheap death penalty to a young man in the future?

I don't think so! Because you are noble, when a young man goes the wrong way, it is your role and responsibility as nobleman to make it right!!

"But Sir Value is also badly damaged"

"Exactly! They crushed my face as finance minister, lost my private soldiers, even the adventurers I took care of."

"I accepted.

Give me Yu Sato! Give me this brilliant young man! Be sure to lead us to the right path and let us correct it!!

"Hey... what a broad heart you have..."

"I don't believe it...... I didn't expect to worry about the future of such criminals!

"Wonderful... what a wonderful nobleman. Let us say that it is precisely the nobility among the nobles who represent the Kingdom of Oudon!

Many nobles were weeping at the tears of Value.

Looking at him, Yu had cold eyes, as if he had even been shown a boring spectacle.

"That's a great idea, but how is Lord Value going to let you correct it?

"That's right! He is an unparalleled great sinner in the history of the Kingdom of Oudon. Not very much but I don't think anyone who says and honestly asks!!

"You may be worried about that! I want you to see this."

What Value took out over her nostalgia was a collar that everyone, if noble, knew well - a collar of slaves.

"This is the collar of a second-degree slave, brought home by adventurers from an S-rank labyrinth. With this collar, you can't disobey my orders, even if your opponent is a B-rank adventurer. Promise me that nothing you will ever worry about again if I fit this in!!

"That would be reassuring," "That's the Value Finance Minister," a voice praising the Value with a mouthful of praise, flies from the nobles.

(I won. We won! Now my victory is unwavering!! Look!! I'll get a dry ad, hear out how to make it out of time, and squeeze it down to the bone marrow!! And then... ghahahahahaha! Yu Satou! Count Muss!! I'll show you hell!! Enough to regret being born!!

Convinced of his own victory, Value smiles ugly.

"Your Majesty, I've shown you something ugly, and then you can leave it all to this Value Volvi Knox, can you?

That's what Value says.

There was a face of King Woodon with the same grin as usual in the eyes of Value with his face raised.

It's just - those eyes, always as if they were closed, were slightly open.
