Chapter 115 – Chapter 115 Opening D-5

“What is this?”

Leuclide couldn’t keep his mouth shut while looking at the lively capital.
The capital city is more lively than ever.

“There was an incident in which the emperor was kidnapped… But no one is sad?”

She saw Seria walking along.

“What’s happening? It can’t be like this! Did you hide it? You spread false rumors to the people of the empire!”

No matter how much I shouted, Seria didn’t answer.

“Keep going.”

Ruclid was taken back by the businesslike voice.
Ruclid followed Seria to the castle wall.
When the soldiers guarding her castle saw Seria in her maid uniform, they lightly bowed their heads.

“Seria, you are not from this Empire. But how…”
“Master Maurice has given me back my identity.”
“Huh, you dare to disobey my order and return your identity?”
“That’s right.”
“Do not be ridiculous! The Emperor of the Empire is here!”
“Who will believe? A woman who looks so fragile is the emperor of the empire. The emperor they know must be His Highness Leuclid, a man.”
“What… Called?”
“No. Keep going.”

Seria smiled and took the lead.
Leuclide wanted to argue, but he was powerless.

She followed Seria slowly.
Until you climb the castle wall.
And until he made sure that nothing was visible in the wide plain beyond the ramparts.
She couldn’t believe everything she saw.

“Like this… Did nothing happen?”
“How are you?”
“What.”
“Your Majesty, no, I am looking at the moment when Ruclid has disappeared.”
“Now me… Are you kidding me?”
“It is not.”

Haha…”

Ryuclid laughed weakly.

“No one is coming to rescue me… ?”
“That’s right.”

The light in Ruclid’s eyes went out.

“Is it… Does that mean I mean to them?”

She clenched her fists.
Blood flowed from her clenched fist.

“Do you want to go back?”
“No… Let me stay for a little bit.”

Ryuclid wondered if something would come from far away.
I stood there for a while.

But there was no cloud of dust in her eyes.

There were numerous imperial soldiers who saw the womanized Ryuclid climbing the wall, but she couldn’t see them.
They didn’t think she was Leuclid.

No one

***

“The Marquis of Mangreb.”
“What did you call me for?”

The Marquis of Mangreb looked at Maurice Dmitry, who called her.
She came up with countless ways to get out.
Infiltrate through the canal leading to the capital, bribing soldiers, and knights with excellent skills.
But no matter how much you think about it.
‘I can’t cheat interest.’

He was the best wizard in the empire.
He must have done something around the capital for surveillance.

Can I get through there?
‘No.’

She was not confident
So she accepted Maurice’s call.

“I want to give you a mission.”
“Mission? It’s troublesome to think of me as one of your subordinates just because I’ve been trusted by Duke Siegfried.”
“I don’t want to give orders.”
“Then?”
“I’m begging you.”
“…”

Mangreb approached Maurice.

“What do you want? Want more of her troops her? Or do you want to keep in touch with the aristocratic forces outside? I am curious about the request of the Minister, who knows that any request can be done.”
“It is simple. I want you to arrange a meeting with Duke Solarion out there.”
“What, what?”
“Conversation. Peace talks or something like that.”
“…”

Mangreb’s eyes rolled.
It was the moment he was contemplating when and how to get out of the city gates.
But giving yourself a chance to get out of the city gates?

‘Is it a trap?’
I had doubts.
Because it was such a good opportunity.

“I want to ask why. If we defend ourselves, we won’t lose. No matter how many troops come, we cannot defeat them.”

At the words of the Marquis of Mangreb, Maurice closed her eyes.

“Because you have to take on an important mission, I will try to be honest too.”

Momentary silence.

“There is a traitor within.”
“What, what?”

The Marquis of Mangreb felt a chill run down his spine.

“I heard Hongryeon’s report. Those who want to join the imperial faction are starting to appear.”
“Is that so?”
“Who do you think is the ringleader?”
“The Earl of Rondon.”

He was the one who showed the most lukewarm reaction to this revolution among the aristocrats.

“Is he all?”
“All I know is that the forces are rallying around the Count.”
“It is dangerous.”
“I intend to negotiate advantageously before the internal enemy grows stronger.”
“But, didn’t you say you were torturing the emperor?”
“It’s a trick to single out traitors.”
“… Is it?”

The Marquis of Mangreb felt his hands his getting damp.

“We negotiate before the traitors act… It doesn’t sound too bad. Will they take it well?”
“That’s why we need the Marquis of Mangreb. Aren’t they popular even among the imperial aristocrats?”

His head his turned quickly.
The back of his head his felt stiff and hot.
‘Morris is now on a false leg.’

A thought flashed through my mind that maybe this might be an opportunity.
Now he is misunderstood.
If he comes up with a good excuse that he is an envoy of peace, he will be able to achieve the negotiations he wants.

Gulp.

“Then let me take over.”
“Ah, going alone is uneasy, so I’ll give you an escort. I would like to go with you tomorrow.”
“Who…?”
“Musk will be with you.”
“Ah, it’s safe if that’s the case. When would you like it?”
“The date I want is in six days. I wish it was faster.”
“Okay.”

Enough to be fooled

Mangreb thought so.

‘He’s a stupid old man.’

Without knowing at all that Maurice was well aware of Mangreb’s intentions his.

***

“The tension is relieved.”

I murmured as I watched the distant Mangreb.
It must have been because there was no way to sneak out.
That’s why he simply accepted my offer.

Because that would have been the only way out.
The only way out in a cornered situation.
There wouldn’t have been time to see if it was a rotten copper rope or not.

“Aren’t you watching?”

Louis, hiding in my shadow, asked.

“Is there a need for that? They will tell me the date of their operation anyway.”

Mangreb will aim for a time when everyone is at ease.
When will that time be?
A time when the nobility faction and the imperial faction have a peaceful meeting with each other.
Right away.

‘Six days later.’

I knew without looking.

Profit.
At the same time, the door opened.

“Master, I am here.”

She was Seria, who went out with Leuclid.
She looked a little tired, probably because she had used so many enchanting fragrances.

“How is Leuclid’s reaction?”
“It was as expected. She looked out for a while on top of the castle wall.”
“Didn’t you think of going out?”
“Not at all. Maybe if she tried to get out, she wouldn’t have caught it.”

Her body changed, but the mana that was left in Leuclide still remained.
If only she had used her own mana her as a high-class knight, she would have managed to escape somehow.
Of course, if I had tried that, I would have caught it.

“Half passed.”

Doing exactly what she had done through her guardsmen worked.

“What are you going to do about Ruclid?”
“I will need some alone time for a while. All the guardsmen must return to their positions.”

The memories of being with Ruclid should be erased.
If you make fun of her mouth her unnecessarily, that would be annoying too.

“I know.”

Seria lowered her head.

***

All the guardsmen were sent home.

“Go in carefully. The small amount of money I sent is for you who have suffered.”
“… All right…”

The guards went home sobbing.
It was the aftereffect of erasing memories.
You will suffer for a few days.
There is no need to worry as it will return to normal once the short aftereffects are over.

When you send them all back.

“It’s night.”

The sun was already down.
Stars twinkled in the sky.

“Morris.”

It was Emir.
She was waiting in her autumn outfit.

“Emir… ?”
“Are you done with work?”
“Why are you here? I thought you went back to the mansion.”
“I’ve been waiting for a while because I’m not good enough to go back alone.”
“Is it? Then go with me I will take you to the mansion.”

I was going to put the emir in her carriage.

“Hey, Maurice.”
“What?”
“That…”

Emir, fidgeting, bit her lip.

“Would you like to walk with me today? I want to take a little walk today.”
“Ah…”

I saw Emir.
Emir’s face was red.
Although it was an autumn outfit, it was quite revealing.
An active dress with exposed shoulder lines.

“Then before that.”

I took off her cloak and put it on the emir’s shoulders.

“The night air is cold.”
“Ah, thank you.”

We didn’t speak for a while.
I just walk with her shoulder to shoulder.

“What I have to say…”
“I…”

We opened our mouths almost simultaneously.

“Tell me first.”
“Oh, no. I just wanted to ask how you were today.”
“I was thinking about how to overcome the enemies beyond that wall. You have been busy.”
“Right.”

Emir smiled shyly.

“Lady Solarion… No, Emir.”
“Ah yes! Maurice.”

When I called her name her, Emir smiled brightly.

“How was Emir today?”
“Oh, I trained with other knights today. There are many great knights in the Siegfried family. Their swords are a little different from Solarion’s…”

I laughed at Emir who was talking excitedly.

“So beautiful.”
“Yes?”
“I said it was beautiful.”
“Ah…”

Is it because of her mood that the heat seems to rise from her body her?

“Morris-sama too… You look great.”
“Is it…”

I turned her head away to avoid the emir’s gaze.
This is more embarrassing than I thought.
