Chapter 121

Chapter 12 – A Deation

Like yesterday, I saw Greed-sa to work

He is a that corner of the courtyard that can be seen fro at the sky, like what he was doing yesterdayThere is nothing, except for the bright sky

—I wonder if there is so over there

Even if I do not see anything, Greed-saic, and who also possesses [Spirit Protection]So it isn’t weird if he were to find so that I cannot see

But I pushed that thought aside fro to happenBecause this castle is protected by a barrierRare incidents seldom happen

……But what if a rare incident will……?

While I was pondering, Greed-sama, ould usually i at the skyBecause he did not look as tense as yesterdayI felt hesitant to call him out……

I quietly left the hallway

I felt that it was better to leave him alone, and I also can’t make up my mind on what kind of attitude should I take when I face hi yesterday’s explanations and what to do nextSo I postponed it once againWhile feeling a little uneasiness in my chest

It was lunch break that day when I felt that little uneasiness, or should I say, preainEver since that day when I was proposed to by Greed-sama, I attracted a lot of attention from other people so I decided to take my lunch at the maid’s antechamber beside the Princess’s room and not at the cafeteria

Since the Princess’s meal is delivered froed for my part to be delivered at the same time

……In retrospect, this was part of the plans to protect me

The more that I am exposed to the eyes of many people, it will be easier for my information to leak outside and it will be easier for people to approach the hero through meMy master’s roouarded main residenceAnd the servant’s quarters is connected here by the hallhich is used by the nobles and high-ranking servants of respectable positionsThat place is also close to the main tower and the main residence, andit is difficult for outsiders to enter that placeThe roo behind-the-scenes, are situated outside the castle

I so the irls have powerful backersIt’s about being assigned to a special building

In other words, wherein the range of my workplace, I should only meet the people I truly knowThat’s why if someone approached me, I usually did not mind it at all

The place where I encounter an unspecified nu roomThat’s why the Prime Minister must have secretly helped hted that I did not get exposed to many eyes

……So you can say that I don’t have any sense of crisis

Today, I went to the cafeteria during lunch break…… No, to be exact, I went to the kitchen next to the dining hall, pushi+ng the wagon where I put the dishes that was used by the Princess and me in order to return it

A new maidservant who came in as an apprentice usually returns the dishes, but today, she took a day off fro it myself

……Who would have thought that I would get involved in a mayhem

“Aria, Aria!”

I left the main residence (Palace), and in the corridor on the way to the cafeteria, I sensed that so me

This voice…… When I looked back, I saw Alfred-sadom

Today he did not escape his bodyguards, for two knights are standing behind hi a reasonable distance

“Oh, Alfred-sa”

Although I reflexively sreeted him with the best of my manners, I reo and the corners of my mouth twitched a little

YesAlfred-sama is mob-faced like erous person who sneaked into ht!

By the way, this person, because of Greed-sama……

“Aria, I’lad I met you!”

Alfred-sama approached me quickly with a smileWhen he was just a few meters away from me, it happened

“There’s so I wanted to askI heard rumors, you and the Hero-dono…… Whoa!”

His legs slipped as if stepping on the banana peel and was about to fall down on his back

“Your Highness!”

Though he looks lucky to fall on his backside, he may not be so lucky to hit the back of his head……

While thinking about that, the knights aiting behind hirabbed Alfred-sah they earing arh they are the type of knight that is burly, plain faced and hotheaded

“So-SorryThank you”

Alfred-sama thanked them casually, which is inconceivable for a royalty, and stood up supported by the arht

……As I thought, the Greed-sae

It’s because there was nothing at the spot where Alfred-sama was about to fall down, so it was iht the salance at the floor, then faced me with a coave hinorance

“Ah, I’htly”

Alfred-sama raised his face and told me aardly

I shook my head and said, “Don’t mention it” Because it’s not Alfred-sama’s fault at all

“The floor here is slippery, isn’t it? It’s alright since Alfred-sama was not injured”

I kindly said to coh it is not really slippery, the end justifies the ain, I’ve already been here for 6 years

“Aria……!”

Alfred-sama’s face turned redder and redder……Huh? Is it perhaps because soered?

“Do you need some help?”

“Do you need some help?”

“Well……”

He is the elder brother of my master after allHe is a prince of this country, and above all else, I was the cause of Alfred-sama’s misfortunes

I said that in that sense but…… Hey, Alfred-sa hard?!

Eh, don’t tell ated it?

Alfred-saain asked in a determined expression

“Aria, I heard a strange rumor about Hero-dono and you—”

“Prince Alfred!”

A very panic-stricken voice ht running towards the bodyguards

This…… Is this a new obstacle created by Greed-sa was perfectIt was as if it was carefully aiht looks like he is at his wit’s end

The knight stopped in front of Alfred-sama, took a breath and reported

“There is a very serious incident!”

“What exactly happened?”

It was not Alfred-sauardsHe wore an aruard, and he was obviously familiar with him

“Actually……”

The knight who ca heavilyHe was about to open his mouth to anshen he finally noticedoff, he shot a troubled look at Alfred-samaIt seems that it was ie with the security of the castle, and it seems that an important problem in the security had occurred, so he ran to find Alfred-sama

Being tactful, I told Alfred-sama

“I have to bring my dishes back to the kitchen, so I will excuse myself”

“Eh, ah, ah……”

Alfred-sama looked somewhat disappointed and reluctant, but since he must obviously prioritize his work over me, he reluctantly nodded

“Well then, I will leave first”

As I said that, I lowered hts ere behind hi

Seeing ht spoke

“It hness”

“What happened?”

“Actually—…………”

“Actually—…………”

“……Wh-What…!!?”

Behind Alfred-sama, who let out a startled voice, I left the place

While walking in the corridor pushi+ng the wagon, I strongly grasped the handle of the wagonThe knight who cah he trying to keep it secret, even though he is trying to whisper, it was in fact so small, however in places wherein sounds easily resonates like the hallway, some will be able to hear it

—Including on

—According to the report, a hurounds—

The knight definitely said so

The castle is enclosed by a barrierIt protects the castle from invasion of demons

It was destroyed by the De once to capture the princess, so the current barrier was ician who did not sleep and rest for many daysSo at the event that it will be destroyed, it will be fine and the demons will not be able to enter…… That’s what it was supposed to be

However, according to the report of the knight, demons were spotted inside the castleIn other words, itA cold chill ran down my spine

I reo, Greed-sama told Alfred-sama in my room

“The dom have put up an anti-demon barrier but there are inadequate parts in some placesProbably it is because there is a difference in the ability of each of the htly stretched parts and thin partsIt can withstand if it is just an ordinary deh the thin parts of the barrier”

In other words, even if it can block a beast, a powerful deicians will reinforce it, but it ht take three daysThere were also many parts that were not reinforced yet, but that’s not the caseWhat was seen was a humanoid type of demon

We call it roughly the sa to two kindsOne is a beast that looks like an animalThe other one is said to be just a handfulThey are the hiical power

It is mainly the beast that appears in front of a person and attacks humans and domestic animals, but a humanoid demon rarely appears

I have also a seen a horse-like beast, but in fact, it was my first ti

Even Faician who has been deeply involved with de, has never seen a humanoid type of demonOther than that, there are a few opportunities to see humanoid type of demons

That’s because—when they appear, nothing reical power, hus and nature have been destroyed

I wonder that such a high rank deht be inside the castle… Are they certain?

And as doubt cloudedseeed

However, the castle grounds ide, and even though there was a uproar sohts run wild

Who on earth did they witness and where? Looking at the places that has not yet riotous, could it be the hts?

Just when I thought of that, I suddenly remembered Greed-samaIn connection to demons, of course it’s the Hero’s partyThere are no other people ere more familiar to demons than them, and even if they were able to encounter the top brass de to worry since Greed-sa

The information about the demon as spotted inside the castle was probably known by Greed-sama—

“……I don’t think so”

I stopped pushi+ng the wagon and dom has a so-called faceThey will not probably say, “A demon was spottedThen let’s ask the Hero”

The Hero was not invited in order to get rid of the demons inside the castle, nor they had reason to stayThey are state guests, the guest of the kingdouests, it is not proper to ask the before we could deal this with ourselves

Besides, there’s the issue of the pride of Alfred-saiciansIt would not be good to entrust the territory they are responsible for protecting, even though he is the heroI’ sacrifice
