「For what reason do you keep forbiddinghi your understanding on this matter Thatbut also in other major crimes I cannot let you meet him so easily」(cpt dic?)

「If he did intend to do anything untoward, there was innumerable opportunities available to hi the matter this time, if he had any ht me back to the inn Suppose that he took ht hiies Weinto consideration of your standing, it could not be easily granted, the young lady of Count Albena, Falroup of ie was transferred frouest room in the Imperial Palace

The official justification was; although her lodging is located in an upper class district with good security, she was the target of an abduction Even though the atte to reside there could pose a problem in the future

The Imperial Palace functions not only as a residence for the Iuished guests such as Faiht order responsible for palace security and quarters for servants working in the palace

The soldiers who took Kanna away are ht order based in the Iht Order Their prinitaries and those with equivalent status

ーーーAs a bit of a digression, having a headquarter inside the I of the knight order Although the Genryuu Knight Order led by Regulus have their headquarter outside the palace, their status and ability are a the best within the military

Faima had repeatedly raised the issue on Kanna's innocence When Kanna was apprehended, she certainly had spoken iained her usual state of ical testion Knight Order However, no matter how many times she pleaded her case, the discussions ended without any satisfactory result, just like today

While he is the family head, the current Count is also appointed as the headraduated from that institute as the valedictorian

Still, as Faima had stated, the Alnabeth household does not have any influence to interfere directly with the internal affairs of Yulfilia despite their fah the Count is the lord of a land that has produced many excellent human resources and his network of connections are not to be trifled with, the power he could exercise directly is liuest treatment It would be understandable if I were froe dominion or a family deeply entrenched in national politics But I airl from the countryside who spent e」

「………Wouldn't that be too much」

「As far as that person is concerned, it would be a coht co is very siressed The question is, for what purpose was I invited to be a state guest at this particular ti?」

「………Perhaps we should consider that it was fortuitous for us to spend the last month freely instead」

「I wonder about that」
