17 Incident?and Judgement (1/2)
[Matthias]
Afte receiving the order fro Elmer-sama, I went back to the Green Water Palace
I enteredElmer-sama
I always think whenever I enter this room
There is no great difference between my room and that of the prince’s, what kind of situation is this? I don’t dislike this room particularly, but this rooh social status to live in
“Matthias-sama”
I heard Ieden’s voice from above
“What’s the matter? I told you to watch the Prince’s room And yet…”
“Please forgive me This Ieden wasn’t able to accomplish the mission”
“What?!”
My hand slipped, and the three buttons left wasn’t properly secured
Just now, Ieden said what…?
“Report As soon as the orders were received, I i of the Prince’s private quarters The room’s state was the sa , the Prince suddenly fixed his gaze at the lower left corner where I was and hisit but I judged that he really noticed when our eyesthe mission was deemed impossible”
Did you relaxed yourself just because it’s a baby, I stoppedthis I know that Ieden will never do so like that
“Did the Prince really notice you?”
I can’t believe it Elmer-sama noticed a Shadow No, the reason must not be because it was Elmer-sama If a Shadow erased their presence, even I won’t be able to tell
“Even I thought that it , however those eyes and that facial expression… They were the eyes of a predator’s when they found their prey With all due respect, I’erous situations countless times However, in that instant my body was miserably restrained with fear”
I was not able to say anything anymore After I told Ieden to take a rest today, I entered Elmer-sama‘s room
Elot near He hasn’t changed at all Though I don’t doubt him, I can’t help but wonder if Ieden’s report isn’t actually true
Nn?
There was nothing strange with the Prince, but there is so on the bed When I lifted the thing near the pillow quietly as to not wake hi bottle
Nursing bottle…
I opened the lid and look at its contents
At that htly
“Ieden”
I called once again for Shadow in a low volume
“Right here”
The Shadow I told to rest for today was near as I expected
“This is an order Find the culprit I don’t care how many Shadows you use You have two days”
The voice that held no emotions and can be said to be almost cruel resounded in the room The prince didn’t wake up from this voice
“As you will”
The next day
“This is the truth?”
Inside a rooed men sat opposite each other
“That is right They waited until I was out, and then they placed this”
Matthias placed the nursing bottle made of opaque material on the desk with a thump
“The contents?”
The King who hasn’t uttered anything yet, asked
“A large amount of Elfarren was detected in the ot someone from the Royal Palace’s Medicinal Department to confirm it, so it’s certainly the case”
