Chapter 51
22 Patriot or patriot
Information obtained from Viscount Cotnes that the duke is in contact with neighboring Laemrest. It is in our hands and should be passed on to the right people.
So I flew to the Royal City and came to the Royal Castle. Liu, who brought me this far, is carrying Patrick and taking off to Ash Button. He believes that his information should be passed on to his parents’ house along the border with the neighboring country.
The day when I will go to Ojo from myself will come. He told his secretary that he wanted to see His Majesty, but he did not expect to see him soon.
The secretary who came back when he thought he was prepared to wait a few days at the royal residence until he was ready.
“Count of Dorknes, go here. Her Majesty is to see you right now.”
Isn’t it too early? Is it so easy to see your Majesty? Let’s try to make a noise in front of the castle, “Hey, oh, sooooo.”
If you follow a secretary with a delusion that you will never do, you will be taken to the King’s office.
Inside the office, the organized documents are lined up narrowly, and there is no fancy feeling. He was gazing at the papers alone, in a room full of business.
When I look up at the sound of the room I enter, I get a serious look and put my documents aside.
“Oh, there’s no way that Miss Yumiera will come to see me. Should I be happy or sad … it’s sad news.”
Well, unless I have serious and serious requirements, I can never come to Ojo. He knows it hundreds.
“It’s been a long time, His Majesty the King, today we have a report on Duke Hillrose’s plot.”
I explain the duke’s plan from the Viscount. Extremists are forming a cabal and trying to get rid of the royal religion, and that neighboring Laemrest is biting.
I think it’s pretty dangerous, but His Majesty the King didn’t move his eyebrows. that? Did you already know?
After I finished explaining, he closed his eyes and silenced for a while. As if reminding someone.
His Majesty sighs and slowly opens his eyes.
“Only Hillrose knows how Remrest is involved, is this correct?”
“The Viscount Cotness said so, unusually the Duke moved.”
“… I see, no problem.”
I think it’s full of problems.
His Majesty the King did not know the information in advance, but he was not upset at all. Although it can be a riot involving the whole country, there is no sense of urgency.
He wasn’t willing to speak to His Majesty’s policy, but he did insist on his concerns.
“Are you okay with Ronald? I know he’s the son of the Duke. Now he’s an aide to his Majesty, but this turmoil could lead him to the Duke …”
“no problem”
“So why the Duke would let go of his real son …”
“For my son, for Ronald. He saw the future.”
Duke’s future expectations and so forth came out again. Mr. Ronald said, and Mr. Queen said, I want you to teach me without shaking.
The Majesty begins to complain about his dissatisfaction.
“He was Hillrose, my best friend. He was anticipating that the kingdom’s turmoil would end even if the Demon King’s problems were resolved.”
“Is that the future of the Duke? I don’t think it’s a reason to raise Ronald apart.”
“… I and he have gone the wrong way. We have no choice but to entrust our son to me so that we won’t get caught in it.”
It seems as if the duke is operating on the premise of losing the conflict with the king. I guess why if you imitate the other countries, why do you bother trying to lose?
The story of His Majesty, who thought he was still going, was over.
“No more, I’m sorry, but I can’t imitate breaking my promise with my best friend.”
“What is the Duke thinking? What is the purpose?”
“… The Duke of Hillrose will lead his own faction and take control of the kingdom, even with the help of other nations. That’s all. I will definitely stop his plot.”
His former friend was an enemy, and the Duke of Hillrose said he was evil. His Majesty looked sorry, and I could not ask any further questions.
◆ ◆ ◆
While resting at the royal residence, I was absorbed in thinking.
It was later said that while we were growing up in the territory, all the problems were settled and returned from the Royal Castle.
His Majesty does not seem to be afraid that the Duke’s plot will tilt the country. But I don’t think the measures against the Duke are perfect. His Majesty didn’t seem to know until I told him that neighboring countries were involved.
When I was worried, I heard a loud voice from the entrance. again.
“Yumiera! I’m here!”
“… I arrive early.”
“I told you I wouldn’t come to the royal capital for a while, so I was thinking of going out from me.”
I want you to stop storming the territory. Well, but your friends? Isn’t it okay to be a tamper?
Eleanor which appeared by example, but is just right. Ask her about her father.
“I’ll invite you to Dorknes soon, so please wait a moment.”
“Really !? Absolutely, absolutely!”
If you don’t invite, you’ll suddenly come to something. I’m implicitly bringing the topic to the Duke.
“Walking out so much, does the Duke say nothing?”
“It’s often said, Dad is too overprotective.”
“I love Eleanor.”
Eleanor, who is in a good mood and understands, begins to swear. He said happily shaking his body.
“Ah, but do you also love this country?”
“… is the Balshine Kingdom?”
“Yes, I also like cleaning. I told you to put things you don’t need in one place and throw them away at the end.”
It doesn’t matter if the duke’s hobby is abandoned.
But that Hill Duke likes the kingdom. She may be lying in front of her daughter, but she gets caught.
Looking at Eleanora, it seems that no information related to the coup has been notified. You’ve probably never heard of the surprising aspect of the Duke while with his family.
At that time, the door was knocked and Patrick’s voice was heard. It was early whether he had returned from the remote frontiers.
“I’m back … were you Ellenora?”
“I’m bothering you”
“It was fast.”
“Don’t hurry Liu, I’m a little tired and I’ll take a break.”
Patrick, who was not good at high places, had a slight wobble. As he tries to leave the room, Eleanor suddenly says loudly.
“Oh! What’s that? What happened to that?”
“What is it?”
She grabbed my left hand and stared seriously. What happened to my hand?
Patrick looked back and looked at us with a somber look.
“Miss Eleanor, I don’t want to say that because it’s not yet.”
“It’s too late! Is Patrick really willing to give it?”
“I don’t have a lot of opportunities … Sorry.”
“It’s good! Romantic places are nice, but don’t be too obsessed! Suddenly in your street life!”
“… Let’s refer to it”
Eleanor begins to glitter with her hands together with Patrick, who looks bad. I was left behind in their conversation.
After leaving the room to escape, he asks Eleanor.
“What are you talking about?”
“I won’t tell you.”
Eleanor turns away from Pui and says.
She’s stubborn in a strange place, so she never breaks, though she can easily get caught in guided interrogation.
To get back to the story, I talked about my family. I don’t think it’s bland because I love my father and brother.
“I don’t ask, but … what kind of mother is Eleanor?”
“Mother … I died of illness when I was little.”
Oh, there was a mine in the rain. She continued swiftly, not knowing what to say.
“But I’m happy! I have a gentle father, I can’t live with her, but I have a nice brother, and there’s Yumiera, so I’m not lonely!”
“……Is that so”
What would she do if Duke of Hillrose would really do a coup? Ellenora, unlike Ronald, is known to be a duke.
In my mind came the duke’s face saying she asked for her daughter.
Duke Hillrose, is he a patriot or a patler?
