Inside the box were rings and hair decorations.

Both, Douglas looked familiar.

No, not where I look familiar.

The ring was given by Douglas as a sign of love to his wife when she was getting married, and the hair decorator bought it for her daughter's birthday celebration.

(My wife never removes the ring, and my daughter loves hair decorations... No way!

The worst sight floats in the back of his brain and Douglas's face is distorted.

But if you look closely, the rings and hair decorations look beautiful in Douglas's memory.

At least, neither has blood on it or anything like that.

From there, they didn't force me to take it away.

That said, that didn't do Douglas any comfort.

Because Douglas is not foolish enough not to know what it means to have such items in a box received from Baron Chai.

How silent would I have been?

Douglas slowly opened his mouth.

"Cheng Cheng... Is this your way..."

Douglas' hands tremble in small pieces.

I guess my anger and hatred for a man who sits calmly in front of me springs up in Douglas' heart.

How clear would I feel if I was slapped with a clenched fist as an emotion?

I could say it was the natural emotion of a man who took his family hostage.

But there is no color of sympathy for the surrounding gaze that can be directed at Douglas like that.

No, instead of sympathy, it's hostility and contempt that can be directed from around you.

Because for a man who serves Ryo True, Douglas is only a sinner who fooled his own master.

"Why did you do this… I'm sure I didn't try to be convenient to you while I was accepting the money. But... guilt to my wife and daughter... has nothing to do with it... right?

With his face down, Douglas raises his voice like squeezing it out of the depths of his body.

Both hands grabbing Douglas's knees like that were trembling in small pieces as if they were trying to contain the passion.

Really, he's inviting pity.

But a man named Ryoujin Mitsuzai is not sweet enough to be bonded to such a threesome play.

"In this world, it should be common sense for a parent's debt to be repaid by a child... was it my mistake... in fact, have you lived by that logic before? Don't change your logic, even if your position of strength and weakness has changed. Even if that was inconvenient logic for me...... hey Douglas Hamilton."

To Ryo True's inquiry, Douglas clogged the words.

"Oh, that's..."

In fact, it is a common story in aristocratic societies, such as where the sins of parents spill over on the child.

Douglas himself, as a court clerk belonging to the House of Lords, has also taken on the task of escorting a number of people to the execution bench.

The majority are old people and youth.

But other than that, there were kids.

Some of them included children who could be called suspicious toddlers.

Of course, it wasn't fun, and I'm pretty sure it was a role I wouldn't want to do if I could.

Especially the way mothers beg for the lives of their children. What an invitation to pity, and heartbreaking to watch.

In fact, it was routine for the lookouts of execution tables that included such children to push each other's roles among their colleagues.

Because I can't be unrelated to Douglas and his feelings as a person.

But it would be an undeniable fact that Douglas took part in asking the child to settle the sins committed by his parents.

(This man...)

I could understand enough to say no to Douglas about what the man with a gentle grin in front of me wanted to say.

Make sinners relatives atone for their sins.

This notion is a concept and system that has improved considerably in a modern society that attaches more importance to the rights of the individual than to parent-child relations.

Because there is no doubt that debt is something that a person who owes money should repay.

But more than in ancient times, parents owe money to their children, and it was common sense for parents to pay this debt.

Working in a girls' shop in the form of parental debt, which is a common setting in epochs, is never a story in fantasies or stories.

And nothing in this mindset is just debt.

For example, the same logic applies to grace, vengeance, etc.

It is not so unusual to say that you will return the favor you have received to the other child who helped you.

In particular, there is a strong tendency to do so for people who know the battlefield.

Conversely, revenge could say the same thing.

It's a good story in which the enemy dies and the child is stripped of his vengeance fangs.

Well, reality is not like stories, and we rarely sail off to die alive.

But at the mundane time, it will be certain that the sweet temptation to say vengeance shakes a man's heart.

Especially if there's just a difference between the person and his position...

In addition, before the modern era, there was the idea of an edge seat (Enza) for certain blood relatives, and there were times when a child was convicted of a parent's sins and the parent was sentenced to death or to imprisonment for infiltration on the grounds of blood relations for the child's sins.

And it's only partially inherited in modern society.

Coalition systems still exist in the Electoral Law for Public Offices, for example.

Even if the candidate is not directly involved, it is a system in which secretaries and blood associates are revoked if they commit electoral offences such as takeovers or, for a certain number of years, are unable to run for election.

Of course, it would be a really irrational way of thinking in modern society.

However, from the point of view of the deterrence of crime, it has a certain effect.

Especially for people who care more about their family and friends than they do.

And Douglas was the kind of person who cared about his wife and children.

"Well, that's why you can help me, right? Look, the time to open the gate is instructed by the person who sent it here, so there's nothing to get lost..."

To Ryo True's words, Douglas nodded powerlessly.

Because there's no way you can say no.

"Come on, this is the end of the last manipulation..."

Liang Zhen shrugs small as he drops his shoulder and sees Douglas leaving the room in a quiet foothold.

Laura reacts quickly to the words, standing behind her.

"Yes, I don't think there would be any betrayal..."

Then Sarah opened her mouth.

"I agree...... that man has betrayed me once. And I was wondering if surveillance should be neglected in the sense of preparing for unforeseen events."

Even if Douglas himself has no intention of doing so, some colleagues may wonder from his condition.

In that sense, leaving Douglas like this would be risky.

"Well, I guess... let's just say we put people out of the infiltrating Igazaki crowd"

Hearing the words, one of the knights, wearing armor supplied by the House of Lords, which stood side by side at the wall, nodded small, leaving the room after Douglas.

As she turned her gaze to that appearance, Ryo Jin was alone in her mind and contemplating the challenges ahead.

(Igazaki people are hands-on sneakers... they treasure them both on the battlefield and in these strategic strategies... but the problem is that there is not always anyone else in this earth world who communicates their sneaking moves...)

There are people in this earth world who wear something technically similar, even if they have not systematized it as a sneak move as a genre.

Some assassins, starting with secret detectives and informants, will possess infiltration techniques similar to sneak moves, and techniques for strolling the woods worn by adventurers will be applied well.

In fact, a number of handcrafted adventurers are employed as secret detectives by the countries and nobles who said so, as post-retirement places of employment.

It's true that even on the hire side, it's hard to leave a role like a spy that includes dirty work to knights and squires in the spectrum.

Not having a bad temper, sense of purpose, etc., and being an adventurous detective moving up depending on gold is easier to use for dirty work for what you know the world.

Some of the countries that devote themselves to the Western continent take orphans and educate them, but it also depends on how trustworthy they can be.

In any case, some of the information handled by the secret detectives includes things that rock the nation.

Arms are also important, but this is an area where more emphasis will be placed on trustworthiness than that.

In that sense, it is only good luck if you try Liangzhen, who became acquainted with Zhongrong and Saki Night during the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Roselia and was to distribute the Igazaki crowd, but it is more natural to think that a hand-crafted group like the Igazaki crowd is also distributing to enemies who will be able to exchange blades in the future.

When that happens, the most problematic would be the notion of what we call espionage.

(Information security……)

It was not until the IT industry thrived that it began to be used as a word, so it can be said that it is a relatively new word.

But its essence is nothing more than a burnout of what has been done for a long time.

That is why there were always two concepts of intelligence and defence in the shadow of war.

(It's not a bad thing that the enemy side is a monkey...)

The arms of the infiltrated Igazaki crowd are certainly significant, but on the other hand, deficiencies are noticeable in the defense system on the side of the House of Lords.

Well, if you cover your head with a full-faced helmet, you can't tell who it is honestly.

No, even if you could see your face, the number of people belonging to the House of Lords is close to a thousand.

That number would swell even further if it included even the working dwarf.

It is quite difficult to identify each of them.

In that sense, it is quite difficult to prevent malicious third party infiltration altogether.

Of course, it's convenient for the party who sets up the plan.

But if you put it to the side of prevention, it would be like a nightmare.

(For once, I'm hitting my hand...)

It was easy at a time when only the Waltenia Peninsula was a territory.

Anyway, with the exception of the Igazaki people and the mercenaries, including the Red Lion, only the children of slaves bought and collected from all over the country can be said to be residents.

But it would be harder to get rid of the scouts altogether than crushing the Count Salzberg family and spreading their forces all the way up to the northern zone.

Although various measures are considered for this purpose, the fact that the people of Igazaki showed a mild ripeness of infiltration into the House of Lords inside this royal castle was both delightful and a major problem for Ryojin.

"When we get back to Ceilios, we'll talk about what's going to happen once and for all..."

When she squeals so small, Ryo Jin lifts her hips off the couch.

Then I remembered one thing and asked Laura and the others.

"With that said, I forgot to ask, what is Dilfina's view of that child's disease?

Laura slowly opened her mouth to the question.
