Vol 12 Chapter 219 (1/2)

Prologue

… Upon receiving a report frohed

His office was a little more in order than it had been before, and his te forithout a problem

The land that perished before the legions of ood few months now

Within all that, the one te co, short brown hair, and while he had an atmosphere from which one wouldn’t feel eneral at the very heart of Bahnseim

The contents plaguing hihbor Beim

Looking over the docuh the report he had just received

“Even if it may be temporary, a four-country alliance was formed Did they think there wouldn’t betheir coffers to Bahnseim this time… those merchants of death sure are scary”

Zayin, Lorphys, Galleria, and Rusworth… from Bahnsei gotten together, they had fornored

Here and there on all the pages, the name 【Lyle Walt】 ritten in

“… I had heard there had been a driven-out brother, but he sure moves flashi+ly Even if he were irrelevant, I wonder how those merchants will use him”

Thinking over all that, Blois felt his head was going to ache The reason he’d gone through all the trouble of volunteering to be stationed at such a re day after day chased after by work, was merely because he had noticed abnormalities at the capital, and had headed for the hills

But ould the queen-to-be say if she caught wind of this information?

Neglect?

Or assassination?

His inability to predict it was because Blois knew of Celes’ whimsy For every time she would cut down the opposition withoutthem to yield to her

At present with the king, queen, the crown prince, and the powerful Wlt House behind her, there wasn’t a soul who could go against her

If you opposed, your territory would be trampled down With the example kindly demonstrated, the feudal lords kept their mouthes shut

“It really is a detestable ti to see some relative truth in those tales of that beautiful courtesan all those years ago”

Troubled as he was, Blois still had the obligation to report

Leaving the reports and such on his desk, he looked up at the ceiling, an rubbed the corners of his eye with a fingertip

“At Bahnseiotiations in Centralle, huh?”

Beiotiations with Bahnseim…

In a room of theon the bed in agony

“It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault…”

The reason I was cowering to such an extent lay in how a four-country treaty was officially tied, for an alliance Without an official nareement passed on a business relations level, but perhaps it would be fitting to say things were going favorably

Galleria and Rusworth asserted the forement between me and their representatives

Zayin and Lorphys delivered docu an explanation

But that wasn’t the main problem

It was also a problem, but it was already a fact, so it couldn’t be undone What I was focusing on most was the Jewel

It wasn’t near the bed, but on the desk And yet, I could hear the voice up-close

『… I… wanna see garters』

LYLE spoke Following his words, the post-Growth arters What’s more, I even put out the condition that they be ones that excited me

Just how ry at er at that point, that would have been the end of the matter

From the Jewel, I heard Milleia-san’s bubbly voice That woe at how she couldn’t see my post-Growth state

I think she’s definitely the type that gets vindictive if you make her mad

『Lyle, you arht for you already Don’t be embarrassed Some of them were custom ordered, oh I just can’t wait~』

They could’ve just angrily refused, but instead, they all gathered together, discussed it a bit, returned to Beim, and put in requests to Monica and the other automatons

When shopping, they were told to put in as much zeal as if they were specially ordered… definitely to spite me

Because he never thought they would accept, there was no helping that LYLE’s tensions were especially high

『I also think stockings are nice』

That opinion was approved by the Third

『Preach it』

I felt a presence before the door…

“Eeek!”

… I cried out

Aria was on the other side of the door Did she plan to get back for having to run all over the battlefield looking for me?

『Now get out there, Lyle You want to see undergaro look at it for them On with it~』

Knowing I would run away, Aria was going to gleefully drive me into a corner

“I-I’m not quite up for it today, so how about tomorrow…”

From the Jewel, the ancestors talked smack about Aria’s course of action The Third even…

『She just doesn’t get it It’s the e to get back at hihtest』

The Fifth sounded uninterested, however…

『… Rather than undergar for May?』

The Seventh let out a sigh

『This is why adventurers are… learn some shame, why don’t you?』

And I was the one anted to run fro it would come to this, everyone had purposely prepared for this day

Aria was going on a strong offense, knowing I wouldn’t hazard a glance down It was vexing, but froht

The usual Aria aside, when it ca it turnedto rile me up on the other side of the door

『When she went so far to prepare them? I see, so you don’t wanna see You spoke of your love for undergarments with such zeal, yet it was but a lie~』
