123 121 Lordship Hall (2/2)
”It was. Accidentally.”
”What's going on, Fran?
”Actually, I'm here for a favor.”
”Oh, what is it? Mr. Fran would do everything he could for you, wouldn't he?
”Mm-hmm. I want to see my lord”
”To Lord Rhodas? Why?”
”Tomorrow, there will be a coup”
”Huh? Coup? What do you mean!
I guess I heard the coup and just couldn't ignore it. Celid enters the conversation.
And Fran explained everything.
That the lord's second son is working with an alchemist to plan a coup. That there is a fine workmanship in the dishes sold by the three men. That the assassin has already been released.
When I finished telling him everything, Furt stood up in momentum.
”Celid, get ready to meet Lord Rhodas right away!
”Ha!”
”Do you believe me?
Without any doubt, the princes seemed to believe Fran's story.
”If you're talking about Fran, I can believe it.”
”The footage that Ursi showed me was really imminent.”
”Now if you're lying, it's not weird to tie you up. I don't think your lord would lie like that.”
So Celid gave me an appointment for the meeting. Exactly royalty, the lord himself came less than five minutes later.
”Would you like me to call you, Your Highness? His Highness Satya.”
”Oh. Let me introduce you before I do. It's our friend.”
”Fran the Adventurer. Greetings.”
To Fran, who raises his hand steadily, the lord nods to Eagle Deep. Even with this attitude toward Rhodas, the great nobleman, you don't have to be angry. I guess that's all I care about the princes. If I get a weird attitude towards Fran, who was introduced to them with their friends, that might just anger the princes.
”Uhm. Lord of Barbora, Rhodas. It's Christon. And what can I do for you? Is the purpose of introducing her?
”No, you don't. I want you to listen to her.”
”? Okay.”
You're only a grand aristocrat and have little inner appearance on your expression, but for a moment your eyebrows bounced picnically. It would be a grand questioning in my mind. Still a royal request. I immediately nodded and encouraged Fran to talk.
”Mm-hmm. Talk about your second and third sons”
”Brooke's and Wayne's?
”Mmm.”
From there, he told the lords about the same story he told the princes. I guess the servant Rhodas couldn't have been calm when they said the kid was planning a coup, etc.
”Stupid! Based on what? Do that!
I was unintentionally blocking Fran's story and raising my voice.
”Facts”
”You have proof!
You say it's in front of the royal family, but you get up out of your chair and your voice is absurd.
”Ursi.”
”On!”
”Hey, what do you do?
”It's all right, Lord Rhodas. Don't resist.”
”But...”
”-Ohn!”
”Gu. This is-”
The Lords face the footage shown by Ursi's sorcery. I guess I can't accept it. There's no evidence to say it's true.
”Such things, in evidence, etc. - But these girls know Zelaise's face...? Besides, there are more arrests than usual.”
I'm squeaking bumps.
”What do you say? Lord Rhodas.”
”... this is all it is impossible to move all the lead soldiers. There's no definite proof.”
”But if you let it go, it'll be a coup tomorrow, right?
”On the contrary, I ask you, does Your Highness believe in this daughter's story?
”Whatever.”
”Really? -”
The lord thinks with a slight nagging addition and subtraction. I guess there are all kinds of grids.
Trust and suspicion in my son. Speaking of other countries, can I leave the royal word unscathed? Or should I sell you a favor here? Also, is the truly imminent footage true, albeit by sorcery?
And the lord made the decision.
”Okay. Let's move the soldiers on the night shift and detain our sons. You can't arrest me without proof, so the name will be” escort. ”We will also increase patrols to search for Alchemist Zelaisse, Zero Thread. In the meantime, let's take the back.”
”Let's move our escorts too. It's better to have a little crowd.”
I would have liked to have given you more whole armies to tie up the Brooks, but now would it be better if you just moved? It looks like the soldiers the princes brought will join us in the search.
”Okay.”
”Where are you going?
Rhodas speaks to Fran, who stood up. I guess I thought I'd wait here.
”I'll find proof”
All you have to do is catch one of them, Zero Thread or Zelaise.
”Ursi, your nose depends on you.”
”On”
”Well, I'll be there”
