[Part 4]
[Present]
“Please excuseI aam”
The hero’s party, ere reation, was visited by a tall glasses guy
“Thank you verythe princess I cannot do much hospitality, but I will do as much as I can so please do not hesitate to ask me”
Thefor a pri in the hall earlier, thisand wasthe place With unusual eyes and maroon hair, his appearance is on par with the e is probably around mid-30s However, as expected, his calm countenance is full of quiet force as he does his ministerial duties
“Thank you very rateful to receive your hospitality”
It was Rufus who responded in behalf of everyone
Greed, as looking expressionlessly outside theuntil now, turned back and spoke “Prime minister, I have a request for you”
The prime minister noticed that the expression he showed to Aria in the hall was quite different, but he didn’t
“What is it? I wonder if it is so that I can do”
“I would like to contact her father, but how long does it take riding a fast horse from here to the Viscount Milford’s estate?”
“Oh… To the Viscount Milford’s estate, is it? Well, if you go there riding a fast horse, it will take you three days; six days if it is a round trip”
While feeling slightly astonished, the prime minister answered and looked for a while at Greed to observe
“Forgivebut the reason why you wanted to contact Viscount Milford……?”
“Yes I heard this from Rufus that in the nobility, one must appear before the father to obtain permission to marry In accordance to that custom, I wanted first to verify her father’s intentions”
“I see……”
The priht of so for a few seconds and then smiled at Greed
“If that is the case, then I think I can be of assistance Viscount Milford and I, along with the royal fauardian [1] here in the castle”
“I see So that’s the quickest way to talk to you”
It was the elf Rufaga who spoke and stood from his chair
Ah! Here it is! Here it is!
The party
Casting a sidelong glance in his surroundings, he drew closer in front of the prime minister and looked up at him
The elf, whose appearance is that of about a 14 or 15 year old boy, and the tall auge the other’s thoughts―――it see
The prime minister suddenly expressed a small smile and said “It seems this story is better not told to people Let’s move to a separate room and discuss it”
“Yes, please” Rufaga accepted the invitation with a sotiation opponent
No, rather than a negotiation opponent…… a collaborator?
The priether
“Well then, Hero-dono,
I will see you later in regards with the letter”
After the tent out, the complexion of the rest of the ain outside the
It is now the cal was defeated The threat to the world should have been removed That word has disproved it
―――No, when Greed has found her in this castle, it has already started
[Past]
Although it is true that the difference between the invalidation of barrier of De’s castle and the distortion of the world is paper-thin, they were chosen to be a member of the elite hero’s party
They instantly nodded to one another and broke into the castle after splitting into teams as they have already planned
That strategy was―――
“After Renas constructs the barrier with sacred ’s castle When we enter the castle, the group that will rescue the princess will head towards the tohere she was i her is the top priority Once you have rescued the princess without being chased by the ene place is here, the entrance to the forest in front of the Devil’s castle Renas, Rufaga and I will blatantly divert their attention by infiltrating deeper into the castle”
To put things bluntly, this is only a strategy After that, they acted spontaneously as usual In other words, not according to the plan
I’y was always like this
Princess Louise was, no doubt, in the tallest tower of the De’s castle that they have spotted earlier There are no watchmen in the area, so you could say that they will follow the established strategy
However, the hero did not join the group that would rescue the princess Because his aim is the maid of the princess, not the princess
