12 It’s not over til it’s over (8)
Her happy s appearance disturbed me immensely
She smiled at me, in a way that If this had been the i in the corner and shi+vering in fear, and the soldiers and knights would be on full alert ready totime, hasn’t it, Ast?”
How should I respond here
Should I also say that it’s been a long tiain?
Or should I try saying that she’d gotten the wrong person, and I wasn’t Ast?
Just what should I say so that I could deal with the aftermath of that choice?
No, before that……`
“How did you get in here?”
She could not have investigated for a long period of tianization were ones that I had spent over 10 years to elaborately craft out, but this was a new one that wasn’t even a year old!
How could she have discovered this piping fresh escape tunnel?
“I assigned people to the dwarves, no, just about every non-human that knew you You do not trust humans, but you trust non-humans very well”
That’s true
Humans are animals of betrayal, but elves, dwarves and the non-human races do not betray you
It was just that they had a long history of being betrayed by hu as you retained it they would keep their ith you to their graves
And yet she ed to use that trust and put shadows onto the spies onto elves and dwarves without the, was that actually possible?”
“I had a bit of a hard ti all of the eh she said it as if it were nothing, that basically ent in the e me
She wasted that much manpower just to try and catch ent costs s of a rural barony!
Just how much had invested into this!
“Is that not a waste oftheir salaries very well”
“Isn’t that salary the taxes of the imperial citizens?”
“Mood lately You know too, don’t you? We beat up Howling last year”
I knew That was my old workplace
And the place the wodo had quite a bit of ain, ten knights appeared at light speed and took up guard positions around her
“Hm? You didn’t have to co their blanched faces, and the knight that seemed to be their leader shi+vered and said
“Y, you said you would give us the signal to conal yet?”
“That… Your Highness smiled… so we unconsciously……”
Ahh It seemed the imperial court was still the same as ever
Well, no wonder
Whenever that princess who normally went around with either a deadpan or a scowl actually smiled, many incidents and crises erupted out
“…Really, now?”
The imperial princess made a dissatisfied scowl
“Whew…”
And her knights all collectively breathed a sigh of relief
“Really, what did I ever do”
What did you ever do Consider how you caused a bloodbath every ti me weirdly ever since you left me, Ast? At least people treated me like a normal person while you were here”
Wait, what’s that supposed to hness was treated like a normal person thanks to me?”
“Why do you look so surprised when you’re just stating the obvious?”
Why?
“Your Highness! How could you say such a thing to the last normal person who served you!”
“Hm? What? The person officially na in the entire e on parallel lines
At moments like this the best way is confirmation by a third party
“You over there, who is the right one?”
“Huh?”
I turned to the side slightly and asked the knight who had spoken to the princess just now
I’d seen some of the others around her before, but this was the first tiht
Well, ten years had passed since my time at the imperial palace, so it wouldn’t be weird for there to have been a change of guard
“I, I wasn’t there at the time so……”
“But you have heard the rumours about Ast It wasn’t just one or two incidents that this aze to refuse to answer, the princess pressured hilanced over at ainst the imperial princess’s pressure and bowed his head
“Fro in the entire empire”
This is a conspiracy!
“See?”
This was definitely a conspiracy
The senior who told knight about me definitely had a bone to pick with me
For example, one whose achieveave them achievements, I never stole any of them
Then someone as jealous of my closeness to the princess… or not
Only those outside the imperial court would ever be jealous, anyone who’d ever experienced life on the inside and knew everything worth knoould never feel jealous
Then, as it?
What was the reason people were spreading such hness, that person is one of your knights It is natural that your knight would side with Your Highness Taking that person’s word to validate Your Highness’s argument is fundaic the one who brought up the question first and proclaiins to fall apart? And……”
Slam!
-Uwiiit! Izza fail, owner!
“Your tricks as you talk to buy time”
With a wave of the imperial princess’s hand, a section of the as destroyed
And so was a part of the metal bat, stretched thinner than a thread!
“Do you think I’ain?”
As she s her hands a few more times and the area the metal bat had been in just noaonna die! Dat’s scaner stop her!
There was no way this thing would die unless it was completely melted down, but my escape attempt ended in failure
But on that note, what the hell was that letting off sword aura waves just by waving your hand?
I knew she becao, but she wasn’t on this level!
-Uweeeee! I nearwy got ot it all!
The metal bat whined as it returned to my hand
