I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

The Countess and Felice

‘Wow, they all deny it after all.’

I thought about it.

Well, even Leo wouldn’t have left any evidence openly.

A few minor evidences, or the level of the heart, will be enough to ignore.

So, if you want to deny it, you can deny it enough.

The question is, isn’t the situation now negotiating a war, not arguing for fault?

Now, they seem to want to have an edge in the cause rather than wanting to negotiate.

Rather than negotiating, it seems that they are trying to press with force after gaining an edge over a cause.

Well.

Although I don’t know a person named Scarlett Marche.

From my point of view, I don’t think Scarlett Marche would ever curl his tail or do anything with just that much pressure.

‘And maybe… ‘

I followed the prince and turned to Mary Ansberg.

‘… That woman must be a preparation for that cause.’

First of all, Count Ansberg is also a member of the Imperial family.

Only Felice was embarrassed.

I wish you would stop, but apart from my feelings, the prince opened his mouth to the Countess.

“The Countess of Ansberg?”

“Yes, my Majesty the Prince.”

Mary Ansberg answered with a smile on her face.

“I think the Red Horseman must have misunderstood. Can you retell the story of the incident that the Countess’s eldest daughter told them?”

To that question, the Countess of Ansberg answered, still smiling.

“I am willing to do that, my lord.”

However, while smiling, it was the woman who sent Felice’s eyes full of intent.

Soon, the Countess Mary Ansberg begins the story.

During a practical evaluation, in the middle of the night when party members were asleep.

Felice Ansberg, who stood alone on the watch, felt something strange.

The cries of the beasts and the rustling of the bushes awoke the party members.

After that, I fought against the beasts that rushed at me with the party members.

I had no choice but to give up on the practice evaluation and ask for help from more magical beasts than I thought.

However, there was a problem with the necklace provided by the academy and it did not work properly.

Eventually, while he was running away with the party members, he escaped into a cave and accidentally discovered the secret laboratory of the Black Magic Tower.

… That is the end of the story that the Countess Mary Ansberg had heard from her daughter.

The Countess spoke all these things calmly and without any hesitation.

While her daughter, who was sitting opposite her, was pale and tired, trembling her hands, and biting her lips tightly.

Can’t she see her daughter like that?

‘Yeah, since the Count Wallenstein is normal.’

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

Let’s see what’s in front of us.

“Haha, it’s not a play… ”

Scarlett mumbles as if genuinely funny.

I was also sympathetic.

If Scarlett hadn’t brought us here in the first place, there would have been Mary Ansberg, not Felice Ansberg.

Then, in the end, what Mary Ansberg says is what we’ve been through.

Of course, it was quite predictable that Scarlett Marche would call us.

Still, it wouldn’t matter much.

Even if it’s the best-case scenario that we’re not here.

If Felice admits her mother’s words and the testimony differs between us, that’s fine.

So, the important thing here is Felice.

The Countess Mary Ansberg had been staring at Felice with a smile since before.

It looks like pressure from anyone looking at it.

I turned my head to check Felice’s condition.

Oh, it must have been a frightened face.

But when I checked she wasn’t looking at her mother.

Felice was looking at me and the other party members in turn.

“Oh, no… ”

She whispers softly and shakes her head.

At her trembling voice, party members smile and nod their heads.

Felice seemed to have calmed down a bit, but when she saw the Countess shooting at her, she was frightened again.

“Do you understand what happened now, Master of the Magic Tower? This is just an attack by demons… ”

“No, wait a minute. Shouldn’t you listen to other people’s stories as well? Or here’s Felice Ansberg, you can listen directly to her.”

Seeing the tower master not showing respect to the prince, the attendants and knights in the back move in unison, but Oscar bites them off with a gesture.

“Is there any need for that? Or, in case, you suspect the Countess of Ansberg… ”

“Yeah, I doubt it.”

Scarlet Marche speaks without hesitation.

Mary Ansberg opens her mouth in a shrill voice.

“You are rude, Red Horseman. The remarks I just made made the Count Ansberg… ”

“shut up.”

At this point, Mary Ansberg’s face turned red and she was speechless.

Of course, it would be unimaginable rudeness among nobles.

First of all, Scarlett Marche is a wizard.

The prince wants to say something, but Scarlett speaks first.

“Then, shall we hear what happened to the other cadets?”

“no.”

That was then.

Count Franz Wallenstein, who had been silent from the beginning of the meeting until now, spoke for the first time.

“I would like to hear directly from the cadet Felice Ansberg, whether the story just happened is true.”

Oh yeah.

The things he hated included not only the Imperial Household, the Duke of Epsilt, but also the Count Ansberg.

Right now, he wants to know who Felice is on his side.

Count Franz Wallenstein looked at Felice with expressionless eyes.

The Countess Mary Ansberg continues to look at Felice.

Meanwhile, Felice carefully turns her head to me.

“Louis, I, I… ”

“Yeah, calm down.”

i whispered to her

He held her hand, which was trembling under the table.

The trembling of the hand stops like a lie.

Slowly, Felice looked at the prince with a determined expression.

“Just what my mother said… ”

Not true.

That’s what Felice said.

Countess Mary Ansberg opened her eyes and glared at Felice.

Felice flinched and grabbed my hand even tighter.

The prince looked at Felice, followed by Mary Ansberg, with a puzzled expression.

Either way, Felice started talking about what had happened.

The smell of powder that attracts demons, or fallen tree branches.

The beasts that ran wild and what they followed to the end.

Gargoyles that shouldn’t be in the practice evaluation area, or an unusually large number of magical beasts.

The Countess of Ansberg is at a loss for what to do.

The prince makes an annoyed expression on his face.

Holding my hand until the end, Felice finished the story.

Leo Epsilt shouts.

“lie! All lies!”

Duke Epsilt opens his mouth.

“Hmm… So, in the end, there’s no real proof, just suspicion. They were close to each other, the behavior of the beasts was abnormal, it was possible for the instructor to bribe… Ha, that’s absurd.”

“Felice, what are you talking about? Come on, tell the truth!”

“Wait a minute. I’m sorry, but I’m not here to argue right now, right? I’m sure your son tried to kill Veronica in the first place, wasn’t he calling you to negotiate? What are we going to do now… ”

“Stop, stop!”

At the conference hall, which quickly became noisy, the prince with an annoyed face shouted.

“Magic tower lord! It’s all a misunderstanding, an illusion! still don’t know You don’t even have proper evidence, you’re going to war? Are you crazy?”

Where did the figure from before go, he was the prince shouting at Scarlett.

Scarlett responds calmly to him.

“okay. Let’s go, war.”

“Ha, good! Behind the Duchess of Epsilt is me and the Order! Where are you guys like the tower… ”

“His Majesty the Prince.”

I was looking at the prince, who was suddenly angry, as if he had lost his temper, with a puzzled expression.

A low-pitched voice comes from behind him.

“what!”

“The Emperor has ordered mediation. Don’t forget that.”

“Shut up!”

Even as he said that, Oscar Schpeltz stopped shouting and muffled his anger.

We were bewildered at the sight of the prince who had just laughed out loud.

Scarlett murmured next to him.

“Well… Well, the Emperor wasn’t crazy at all.”

it is sympathetic

I called him to negotiate, and then I thought, what the hell was he thinking of letting only those crazy people out?

There was a proper safety device next to it.

The SS division commander came not to escort the prince, but to monitor it.

“Whew… Okay, let’s all calm down and talk.”

Finally, the true prince speaks.

“I have nothing more to say. In the first place, they don’t even admit their mistakes, then it’s a negotiation, it’s naval, and it’s impossible to even start, right?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, what are you saying to admit!”

Leo Epsilt yells at Scarlett.

“Does this want to die now… ”

On behalf of the prince, the commander of the SS Division comes forward.

“First of all, it seems that it is necessary to confirm whether the allegations the Lord Red Ma Thap raised against Confucius Leo Epsilt are true.”

“How about this, Red Horseman?”

Duke Epsilt says:

“If my son’s allegations are true, I accept all orders against him except to lay down his head. Of course, there will be apologies and compensation.”

However, he says.

“If it turns out not to be true, then you publicly apologize for this nonsensical declaration of war. Of course, I will be compensated.”
