208 Episode 75: Berchs Response (2/2)

”However, this does not apply if your father is willing to harm the Dagger family beyond the gate.Your Majesty has allowed you to pass through the gate, not to harm the House of the Sword. ”

Dialt looks at us with a keen eye.A thorough glance that sees everything makes you think more of a judge or an inquisitor than a swordsman.

I took Dialt's gaze straight up, and I hung the edge of my lips.

”I have no intention of doing so.”

At least for now, there won't be any need to add the truth.

Dialt nodded at our words.

”Believe me, it is the word of the man who trusted you.However, it is also conceivable that your actions according to the circumstances of the Onimun Gate will unintentionally cause disadvantage to the Swordsman family.To prevent such a thing from happening, the swordsmen decided to cut off the people.This is also an extraordinary consideration for Your Majesty's trusted Duke.That's what I want you to know. ”

Dialt says he'll put a blue forest flagman on me.Don't say no because it's a courtesy to me with the seal ring.

I shrugged my shoulders.I don't know if you're a surveillance or assassin or anything else, but in any case, if you refuse, you'll just turn your companion into a tracker.

”I understand. Thank you for your kindness.”

It would be troublesome to turn the foreword around and say, ”Then you can't go through the gate.”

For Claire's sake, let's keep him quiet until we find Crimut.Well, I can't say that depending on who I'm traveling with... I don't think it's Ragna or Ayaka, but I tried to ask Deart about their names.

But Dialt stood up faster than I whispered and said quietly.

”Let him who accompanies you bring him in later.Until then, you can relax at home and heal your travel fatigue. ”

When I'm finished, Dialt leaves the room without waiting for our response.

When I threw a question on his back and decided that the answer would not come back, I silently dropped off the twin backs that were leaving.

A minute after Dialt disappeared, Clyde, who was seated with his pin and spine stretched, fell apart and put his hands on the tatami mat.

The tension thread seems to have broken when my brother decided he won't come back anymore.I called Craia wondering how careful she was.

”Are you okay?

”Ha, yes, somehow....”

Clia, who responded with a small voice, raised her chin as if she had regained consciousness and looked at me with a serious and anxious look.

”Um, Mr. Meng didn't mention anything about me anymore, but what does that mean?

”So far, I guess we'll see what happens.”

As long as it is possible that I have asked the Emperor to acquit Clyde, the Dagger family will not be able to hold Clyde at ease.If we do that, the Dagger House will have disputed the ruling made by the Emperor.

Inevitably, you can't force me to ”acquit Claire and follow the instructions of the Dagger.”

As a matter of fact, the Emperor has not mentioned the crime of desertion, so Claire Berch remains a sinner publicly, but I am the only one who knows it.As soon as I refer you to the Imperial Capital, I hope you don't find out this bluff until you come through the Onimon Gate.One of the reasons I brought Claire here barefaced was to cast this suspicion on the Dagger family.

I can explain this to Klein, but this is Berch's mansion.It is not known who is listening in the shadows.Nothing comes to my senses so far, but I don't think we should inadvertently reveal this information.

When I glanced lightly, Craig noticed the possibility of eavesdropping too late.He grabbed his mouth with a soft face and lowered his head in an unfortunate manner.

”Excuse me.”

Somewhat, with that voice, the Berghi family showed up and led us away.

According to Claire, this detachment is used to accommodate guests.Yes, the room was in excellent condition and well cleaned.The surrounding garden also shows the same elegant appearance as the previous garden.

Berch's family politely lowered their heads and left the room, asking them not to call if they needed anything.Beverages and tea treats are served on the table.The food served afterwards was also quite luxurious.I refused to be recommended to take a bath after a meal, but I can smile bitterly without expecting a careful hospitality.

It was quite a fresh experience to see that Berch family moving around for me.

”Are you trying to be gentle with me, or are you just inviting me to be alarmed?”

Normally speaking, the latter point is that the flag general (Dialt) moved to induce my alarm.If the House of the Sword is serious about killing me and Claire, it must come from the front without taking such a detour.

If I was asked whether it was the former, this would not be enough.Even considering the past, it is impossible for me to establish a friendly relationship with the Daggers and the Berghs.You know that over there.

Is that what this is all about?

I look at the possibility that someone who has noticed that I was able to connect with Craig in one of the previous hostages is using it to plot a plot to capture me.

In fact, as I'm heading east to accept Craig's passing through the island and to help my brother (Crimut), I can only think of myself as falling in love with Craig from the side.

If Claire and I are connected, we will inevitably be able to connect with the Berghes.If this assumption were correct, I might be able to arrange Claire's futon perfectly in the evening.

When I looked at Claire, it seemed that she was looking at me, and she looked at me.

”May I help you, Emperor?

Ah, no...

When you try to reply that it's nothing, your family will hear you from the other side of the hill.

The content was that Deirt would soon be accompanied by Ursula, one of the golden generations.
