Chapter 64
53. The ruthless princess moves.
My second year on the bill council. I let my previous knowledge be summoned to check the situation in my head.
Even if the bill is enacted in a council, the period from there to enactment varies from law to law. The law will be enacted for the first time after a sufficient period of time to inform the public in advance and prepare them for various kinds of preparations. Even so, is it a long, month later, or as early as a week, in my country?
The Bill Council went yesterday. In the game, the “Special Competency Application Obligation Order” must have been passed yesterday. Then the respite is only a month long. Yesterday, Chancellor Gilbert also said that his fiancée was already like a limit. Then in the worst case scenario, he could die a week from today.
… We need to hurry.
Before he, like the game, was powerlessly annoyed by her death.
…… What is it? There seems to be some noise in the castle from earlier…
The voice of Tiara makes me angry.
If you do become conscious, the castle is noisy.
I hear a bulge and a squire or servant running around or calling someone.
It is unusual for the castle to be so noisy, especially as far as our living areas are concerned.
“Pride! Steel, Tiara!
Suddenly he shouted his name, and looking back, his father was running out of breath.
“Father. What the hell happened to this noise?
I have escorts and squires with me. It’s unusual to come alone when you come to see us. When Father came before us, he breathed and slowly raised his face.
“… Jill Bale…… Didn’t you see Chancellor Gilbert?
Jill Behr: What the hell happened yesterday today?
Of course I am, but I haven’t even met Steele and Tiara. When the three of us told him that, Father sighed heavily.
“Right…… all three, go back to your rooms now.
And make sure you keep your squire and guard on tight. and the three of us twisted our necks.
“Father, what has happened to you? Chancellor Gilbert, what is it?
Now Style asks Father. Slightly, the eyes are sharp.
“Oh… In fact, Chancellor Gilbert has been disappearing since this morning. There’s nowhere in the castle. Now the castle people are searching for it in general…
Does that mean there is a possibility of an anomaly, such as kidnapping or some kind of intrusion? I snorted quietly at my father’s words, keeping them out of words.
“Of course, there is a possibility that you are leaving without permission… anyway, at least stay in your room until Chancellor Zilbert returns.
Having said that, Father spoke to the nearby guards and ordered us to be guided and escorted to his room.
“Father!”
I raise my voice as the guards surround me.
“Are you sure you want to stay in my room with the three of us?”
Father gave me a slightly surprised look at my words, but I received recognition thanks to the endorsement of Stile and Tiara for “I’m worried about you sister” and “I’m more comfortable with your sister and brother too”.
“… both of you, thank you.
After my father left with his servants and guards and said, I smashed my ears into the two of them.
……
Now my room is more heavily guarded than usual. Naturally, the three royal families are stuck in one place.
There are ten guards under the window of the room, a style and tiara outside the door of the room, and almost all the guards that often follow me. Indoors, only Jack, the guard who often accompanies me, protects me from the inside of the room in front of the door as a result of our appeal to “just the three of us”. Only Marie and Lotte, the samurai whose servants often follow me too. The other samurai are kept in the hallway with the guards. I can’t breathe a little comfortably because the windows are also completely shut off heavy curtains. In it, me and Stayle, Tiara, placed a thick book instead of a table on an expensive carpet, plus a piece of paper on top of it, and the three of us grabbed the pen and started the brush talk.
“Brother, are you glad you didn’t tell your father that you can go to Chancellor Gilbert’s place with special abilities?
First Tiara spells it in cute letters.
Seeing that. Now Steele writes and responds quickly.
‘Oh, thank you Tiara for keeping your word. Thank you, Pride.
Me and Tiara looked up at each other, nodded at the style and smiled back.
This was an appointment between the three of us and Arthur Four.
I wanted to keep it a secret that I could travel to certain people for a moment, a hope from Style himself. “When something happens, I want to keep my hands to myself,” he said.
“So, what shall we do, Pride?”
Style asks me. That means using special abilities to find Jill Bale, if necessary.
‘Let’s see how it goes in the first place.
As a result of my thoughts, I wrote a word like that.
If it was really a kidnapping, it would normally be better to leave it to the soldiers than to us the children, and if you got out of yourself, do something. There are circumstances. If we intervene and get worse, that’s what matters.
They both nod and acknowledge my letters.
“Chancellor Gilbert… I hope you’re all right”
Tiara writes in weak letters. The expression looks depressing too. But even then, Steele followed the letter and ran a crunchy pen.
‘Right…. I’m worried I may not have done anything wrong.
Boulder style, relentless.
I certainly don’t think it’s impossible to be so concerned if you know what happened to Chancellor Gilbert yesterday.
But Tiara, who knows nothing, reads the letter of Style and says, “Huh?” and leaked the word.
Then Stayle looks up and asks me just with her eyes. I’ll see if I can talk to Tiara. Tiara is the second princess of this country. I think I can explain more than this has happened. As I nodded, Style quietly ran his pen toward Tiara. He wrote a detailed description of yesterday’s situation on paper. Tiara also followed it with her eyes in the order in which it was written, and began to read it.
Really, Style and Tiara are sweet. Every time there’s something like this, you always ask me for my opinion and confirm it. He even talked to me when I said he wanted to get the three of us together in the room earlier, and this is how he still entrusted me with the choice.
I’m sure that whichever of these two will stand on the throne will be the king who listens properly to the will of the people. Compared to that, when it came to the game’s pride, I didn’t even ask around for opinions, and I decided all by myself, whether it was about taxes, executions, personnel, war, alliances, punishment, the law or anything else. At least about the opinions of the upper management, Steel, and the Chancellor…
… that?
Second, I feel uncomfortable with what I thought myself.
I had a very, very bad feeling, and my hands trembled clammy before my head was wrapped around it.
Whatever, I was deciding on my own…?
Until now, what I should have thought of as a premise was covered, and the unpleasant sweat became stained.
Prime Minister Gilbert’s fiancée died the day after the “Special Competency Application Obligation Ordinance” was enacted.
It was on Bill Council day five years ago that Chancellor Gilbert promised Pride.
Then…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Face up and hold your mouth with both hands to solidify on the spot.
I noticed something strange about me. What happened to Style and Tiara, she calls me out, but it’s not the time anymore.
That’s right. “Extremely evil, outrageous, self-centered. Queen Lasbos’ pride doesn’t mean she cares about people’s annoyance or confusion, like other people’s opinions.”
If you decide to execute me that day, execute me that day!
If you decide to cancel your alliance that day, cancel that day!
If you decide to fight that day, you’ll be ready to fight that day.
That woman! I was such a queen.
There’s no way I’m waiting for a week instead of a month like that! If the bill council decided that day, they’d have it enacted that day.
That means…
It is today that Chancellor Gilbert’s fiancée dies.
Because it’s the day after yesterday’s bill council.
Well, then the debilitation must be terrible, and it’s only natural that Chancellor Gilbert was so disturbed yesterday.
I’m not talking about that level anymore. I’m fighting for a moment.
Come on, we need to find Chancellor Gilbert.
‘I’m sorry, Style, I still have to go find Chancellor Gilbert.
Apologize for making you both worry and hurry I’ll run the pen.
Both Style and Tiara looked at each other and waited for me to continue.
“I predicted it. Mr. Marianne was the fiancé of Chancellor Gilbert. He’s protected somewhere in the castle, but predictably he died today. So we need to let Chancellor Jilbert know ASAP!
We were both surprised when we told him that, Tiara covered her mouth with her hands and Stayle calmly gripped the pen again.
‘Okay. Then I’ll just check with you first.
When I wrote that, Style left the room with the guard in the hallway to wash his hands. If you just watch for about ten seconds and go back, this is enough.
Returning after a while, Style took the pen again with a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows.
‘Jilbale was in the castle town at a point where he walked over an hour from here. I’m fine, so far.
I was relieved by the phrase, “Style’s safe,” and me and Tiara stroked down my chest.
But it’s a little inclusive.
According to a subsequent explanation of the style, Chancellor Gilbert was lurking in the back streets of the town dressed like he had concealed his identity and appearance.
Why are you here when your fiancée’s in critical condition?
‘It’s just that the back street was a place where a lot of well-to-do people gathered and went together. My mother used to tell me to stay away from it, too.
It’s about Steele’s real mother. Style is originally a child of the common people. Style says it’s been a dangerous and famous backstreet in town for a long time.
Anyway, if Chancellor Gilbert is safe, we need to get him back to the castle as soon as possible.
‘What shall I do, Pride?
The styles move their hands even further.
“It is possible that Jill Bale is concealing his identity and appearance from his father without permission. I’ll keep an eye on it if I have to, or explain it out of my mouth and move Jill Vail to the castle for a moment.
From that aspect of the Style, distrust and vigilance towards Chancellor Gilbert have been conveyed visibly.
‘Don’t be afraid to see how it goes and ask them to return to the castle immediately if they seem okay. I’m coming with you.’
Style and Tiara look up at me.
Style shakes his head and refuses. I guess that means I can’t take you. But this is all I can’t give in. As Style put it, there’s a good reason why Chancellor Gilbert left the castle. Then you need me too when you convince me. Maybe Chancellor Gilbert won’t have ears to listen to Style’s words that don’t really think of him. The special ability of the style can also force you to travel momentarily to the castle, but if you do that and get away with it again, it doesn’t make sense.
Writing it briefly and showing it to Stayle, I dropped my shoulder for a while. Convinced, it might be more right to give up than to.
“… then you need at least clothes that are easy to move. I don’t know what kind of behavior Jill Bale is going to take, and it’s not suitable for surveillance in this outfit of ours. Above all, if the people see you, they’ll notice who you are.
Style said as he rounded the paper he’d used for the conversation so far to Gushagusha. As it were, the next moment, a chunk of paper disappears. I guess the style even threw it into the incinerator with instant movement.
My eyes sparkled as Tiara would expect from Style’s words. Well, when it comes to clothing that stands out, but is also elastic and easy to move.
The three of us stood up on the spot and slowly spoke to the samurai and guards who were in the room outside of us.
“Lotte, Marie, Jack…. I need an important favor.
To me, to three trustworthy people.
