15 Sneaking Shadows

Shaw greeted Queen Alger and was led to the rear palace by Zelia.

"I've been looking forward to seeing Master Shaw."

In the garden of the rear palace, where the orchids bloom, Zelia and Shaw are alone, discussing things with each other to fill the days they never saw each other. Ross is distracted, a little further away, watching Zelia clear up her quail these days.

Snake God's tightening of the clergy is a joy to the Kingdom of Surah, but some of them resented Zelia for making an extra statement, which was unreachable.

There could be no direct attack on Zelia under Queen Algiers, but there was some inconvenience in the women around her, in the educators and in the junior Zealanders who would support her in the future.

Every last thing, Zelia was heartbroken by the impudence of not being able to protect those on her side.

"Dear Zelia, is there a problem?

Shaw cares about Zelia's smile, which includes her mundane expression when she stopped talking and the grief of Queen Alger, who greeted her earlier.

"No, I'm so glad to see Master Shaw like this. Let me see the white on your side, you've grown more splendidly than I saw in Leyte before."

Zelia wanted to tell Shaw everything, but hesitated to expose the shame in her body to the foreign king Prince.

When Shaw returned to the embassy, he called in the white, thinking he had to ask Ambassador Raben about the details.

After his reunion with Princess Zelia, Shaw, who arrived at the embassy, caged Ambassador Raben in his study when he confirmed the care of Sands and White.

"What's happening in the Kingdom of Surah?

Ambassador Raben tells us that the other day, the Serpent God saw the messed up lives of the priests and told them to make a serious festival.

"For a long time, even though marriage was forbidden, I surrounded my concubine or could luxury all I wanted. But the Serpent God only tied the clergy with cracking and loose rules. Humans in the Kingdom of Sura are all vague."

Shaw had no desire to speak to the religions of other countries, but the solemnity of discipline seemed a good thing because he had long questioned clerics who imported wheat, meat and wine from the Kingdom of Iran and lived in luxury without eating rice or fish that he could take in his own country.

"But there's something wrong with you, isn't there? Neither Queen Algiers nor Zelia seemed to clear their minds. I'd like to see Prince Jenas."

Shaw suspected that some sort of harassment of the corrupt clergyman extends around Zelia, but considers that to be nothing more than a final matter.

"In that matter...... Prince Jenas' residence has been frequented by ambassadors from the Principality of Malta and the Kingdom of Salaam these days. That, as I have also reported to Leite, raises no question as to why the Kingdom of Salam will come into contact with the Kingdom of Surah?

Shaw urges first that investigating the suspicion that Prince Jenas is behind the pirates is one of the aims of this visit.

"I have a young nobleman named Sir Zaycroft in the Diplomat of the Kingdom of Salaam... he is liked by Prince Jenas..."

In the way things are said to be pinched in the back teeth, Shaw feels that Ambassador Raben has suspicions that he doesn't have any certainty.

"Who is that Lord Zaycroft? You contacted the embassy in the Kingdom of Salam?

Asked in a harsh tone, Ambassador Raben spoke terribly of his suspicions.

"I contacted the Kingdom of Salaam... only that he was the bastard son of King Hertz... but Sir Zaycroft's appearance feels the blood of the United Kingdom of the Southeast Islands!

Shaw grabbed Ambassador Rebben's shoulder with a thoughtful suspicion.

"No way! I'm not going to tell you he's Barbarossa's son!

Ambassador Raben took refuge because Ambassador Globe of the Kingdom of Salaam is new.

"Ambassador Globe's predecessor was Ambassador Kish. My father asked me to look into Barbarossa's child... but how old is Sir Zaycroft?

How old were you when you crusaded Barbarossa? Why was I overlooked? In the first place, are you Barbarossa's son? Shaw arrows his doubts and hits Ambassador Raben early.

"Sir Zaycroft looks the same age as Prince Shaw. About a year ago, I started showing my face to the Kingdom of Surah. Ambassador Kish has been a diplomat in the Kingdom of Salaam since he retired and replaced Ambassador Globe."

During the change of ambassador, Zaycroft showed up feeling suspicious about something.

"It's the touch of King Hertz's common son, so I guess he's drawing royal blood somewhere. It could be the bastard child. That king might give Barbarossa his common son..."

Just because it's the look of the United Kingdom of the Southeast Islands doesn't necessarily mean he's Barbarossa's son, Shaw had a zook back.

"Let Ambassador Globe investigate Sir Zaycroft in detail! No, I'm sure he's starting to investigate."

Shaw wonders if his father in Leyte or Foreign Secretary Bacchus already knows about Lord Zaycroft.

"Ahhh! You know, you sent me to the Kingdom of Surah!

Meet Prince Jenas! Ordered, Shaw had doubts as to whether that Serpent Prince was capable of being the backseat to piracy in the Principality of Malta and the Kingdom of Salaam.

"Until I visited the Kingdom of Savannah, I was wondering if the ambitious King Angus was abetting Prince Jenas. As for Sir Zaycroft, we must wait for a detailed investigation report from Ambassador Globe or try going to the Kingdom of Salaam. I need to see Prince Jenas for once! Tell me more about the people around Prince Jenas."

While I was in the Kingdom of Surah, I wanted to meet Prince Jenas to identify his abilities.

While he was being briefed by Ambassador Raben about the surroundings, Shaw sighed as to why he was the son of that clever Queen Alger.

"My favorite is the cleric Helios. I'm marrying his sister... you seem to love him"

I'm sick of Shaw, and I feel like I don't want to see Jenas.

"I need to see that helios too..."

Imagine the entanglement of a corrupt cleric and a snake prince, and I never want to see you! and make an appointment for the meeting, screaming inside.

"I hear that Prince Hernández of the Principality of Malta and Prince Piotr of the Kingdom of Salaam share the same taste. Prince Shaw, be careful..."

Ambassadors Raben shut his mouth when he was stared at by a guillotine and angry he looked just like King Aslan.
