Chapter 120 (1/2)
Sudden incident 4
While we were considering our next actions, grandfather opened his mouth as if he remembered something.
”If memory serves me right, this place should be the residence of Marquis Varshava. Nevertheless, the marquis was disposed at the time of the revolt, his son should have succeeded… It seems he hasn't reflected on that situation.”
Grandfather said so with an astounded expression.
The earlier revolt was the one caused by Allen-kun and Ange-san's father, a duke.
Certainly, at that time, other houses that committed misdeeds should also have been punished, so this is one of them.
”But even if they were involved in the revolt, it's difficult to abruptly enter the mansion. If they hide Elise-sama from us we will just be trespa.s.sing.”
When I and grandfather were pondering about it, Sasuke-san said something in a loud voice.
”Eh? Sasuke-san? Did you say something?”
”Ah. A secret entrance, let's use it?”
Eh? A secret entrance?
Is there such a thing?
Then grandfather immediately asked Sasuke-san.
”Sasuke, do you know the secret entrance into this mansion?”
”Ah. Because, the culprit, used it. From there, I slipped into, the mansion's, ceiling.”
Then, then, say it from the beginning…
Was such a thought of ours communicated? Sasuke-san showed troubled face.
”Somehow, sorry. I wasn't, asked, so I, thought we'd, just break into.”
Well, it wouldn't be a problem if it was about any other recent kidnapping, but this time is different.
It's not like we're always going to just charge in.
”Then Sasuke, show us the way.”
Sasuke-san, asked by grandfather, led the way to the back of the mansion.
The place Sasuke-san told us about was a so-called dead end surrounded by stone walls.
”It's a dead end.”
”It's definitely a dead end.”
When we looked at Sasuke-san, he started pus.h.i.+ng a part of the stone wall.
It seemed he wasn't putting in much strength, but the stone moved revealing a cavity.
”Certainly, it's a secret entrance. By the way Sasuke, where does it connect to?”
”To an unused, room, inside the mansion.”
”What's the distance?”
”If we hurry, about a minute.”
It's troublesome to encounter the perpetrators, but in any case, we must invade.
If we don't quell them now, it'll continue for a long time.
Most importantly, I absolutely can't forgive the criminals who made Elise-san experience such a scary situation.
