Right now, a strained atmosphere has befallen the chahoutRouge Zandark, having been summoned to the castle, kneels before the throneDespite feeling the turbulent atmosphere within the chamber, he maintains his stoic expression and follows the appropriate protocol of keeping his head down as he introduces hiue Zandark, reports to your summons”
A genro[2] says, ”Raise your head”
Rogue lifts his headSeated on the throne before hiant attire, the first imperial prince of the Nelferian Empire, Reanat Filas RieseldHe is a talentedthe ereed prevalent within GroschlerHis cool appearance is one followed by strict judgments
Rouge once h spirits, your Highness, the I question, but was not His Highness, the Eovernmental affairs today?”
Within the current administration, Emperor Nelferia is well into his yearsIn order to solidify the political experience of his heir, the i the governmental court
Reanat gives a faint slances towards the emperor's usual place”It wasHis Majesty is at the Ruby PalaceHe didn't feel like co eable when the mood strikes”
Rouge lowers his head as Reanat releases a strained laugh, ”Kukuku”With the E ohing in his mind
The prince's chuckles ceaseThe quieting echoes of his laugh bring a change to the airRouge tightens his vigilance upon realizing they are about to begin
Reanat props his elbow on his extravagant chair's armrest and rests his chin on his handHe says, ”Well then, Rouge, I assume you knohy you've been summoned here today?”
”…While this may be presumptuous of me, I believe it is about Liliana”
”Correct, this conversation is a continuation of the one about whether or not your daughter is responsible for the co frohtHave you been able to locate her?”
”No, I have devotedfor her, but have yet to determine her location”
”She hasn't returned to your estate?”
When Rouge says, ”It's as I've stated,” a short te her!Isn't she your daughter?”
”No, I would never do as such…”
”Hou?According to thearistocratIsn't it possible that an upstart like yourself could havesuch actions?”
The genro uses a euphe his social position by elie, however, rejects the claih ranking aristocrats”
”How sha aristocrats!The majority of them were suspicious of you!”
The genro's voice echoes within the administration chareeside their agitationIn turn, the nobles supportive of Rouge find voicing their complaints difficult
Reanat deliberately releases a sigh”…Don't you think that's enough?We have yet to decide on whether Liliana is truly guilty or not”
”Haa”
The loud voices echoing within the chaenro who accused RogueThe ones who claest that no one had been speakingOne could say they were attee
Rouge senses a stifled laughter from somewhere within the cha to do
Once the surroundings have settled down, Reanat says, ”Beginning such a dispute here is pointlessOur first task is to locate LilianaDevote all your effort into finding her”
A genro quickly agrees with Reanat, ”Of course,” but also uses to opportunity to voice his own opinion”However, I believe there is so else we must decide first”
”So else we must decide…?”
”Yes, ill take responsibility for this?”
Rouge frowns at the genro's words
Reanat realizes their true e”We will find your daughter soonShould Liliana be the criminal, ill you do?”
Rouge says, ”Please wait, we have yet to determine whether or not she is the criminal”
A genro suht noe're speaking of a hypotheticalAt thison hoe'll proceed should it hold true”
Rouge steals a glance of the genro who spoke and sees that the oldto deterenro obviously plan to present Reanat with false charges against Liliana
Reanat, perhaps because he holds Rouge in high regard, adds to the genro's suhter are powerful assets to the EmpireI, too, wish to find her innocentHowever, please understand that our country adheres to strict lawsTherefore, should the worst be the case, we must decide on hoe'll proceed”
A genro continues for Reanat”Article 12 of the Imperial Military Service Outline, clause 3As a colonel, I doubt you'd disrespect our regulationsTherefore, should the event occur, wouldn't you also desire suitable punishment?”
Reanat says, ”Well then, Rouge, what is your response?”
Rouge says, ”…My daughter's failures are my failuresI will relinquish my position within the military and step down from the Elite Twelve”
Reanat's voice echoes within the chamber”Very well”
The genro who first accused Rouge once more raises his artificial voice”Excellent, the colonel hihter is only proper”
”However, isn't this is a bit extreme?”
”This situation only occurred because of his lack of oversightIt's perfectly reasonable… don't you agree, colonel?”
Rouge lowers his head at the genro's pressure”…I do”
Reanat watches the situation unfold for a moment and then says, ”…His Majesty is also concerned about our delay in resolving this caseThe anxiety it brings about cannot be allowed to continue any longer, not in our current situation where a mazoku invasion could happen at any moment”
The genro voice their agreehtWethese incidentsHowever, the Holy City's Yuusha-dono also seeation”
”I realize that involving ourselves will be difficultRegardless, we cannot allow the current situation to continueTherefore, ill be ies”
