10 – Conspiracy
Duchies of Vissus
Duke’s office
Bang
“Didn’t I say there was no way I could fail?”
A precious opportunity for Allerto and Hresvelg’s child to come out accompanied by only one guard.
It was the perfect time to kidnap without attracting any attention.
It was an opportunity I had been waiting for for a long time, planting spies in each of the two families…….
Missing this optimal opportunity….
I heard that they even succeeded in neutralizing the knight with the artifact they gave me.
If the one and only escort driver disappeared…….
Who on earth protected them?
No matter how great their magical talent is, it makes no sense for two five-year-old children to defeat that many bandits and escape in that situation.
No, it goes beyond nonsense and is completely impossible.
Someone helped you?
From the beginning, I aimed for a deserted place at a time when there were no people.
Above all, even if someone came forward to help, there was no way they could deal with that person.
“According to the words of the spy planted in Allerto territory… It is said that an unidentified strong man passing by saved him….”
Bang
“An unidentified strongman! Do you think that makes sense! “Someone happened to be passing by at that exact moment and saved me!”
Of course! At that exact moment!
“B, but that’s the conclusion the Aletro family came to, and our investigation also concluded that it was inevitable… ….”
He kidnaps two children from the Allerto family and the Hresvelg family, causing a conflict and weakening the two fiefdoms.
After that, the strategy was to eat away at the power of the two families and then swallow them up.
The most important first step fails like this?
Someone passing by?
I have to say something that makes sense! I even gave him the artifact I received from him to use!
“So. “There will be no problem with the caught tails, right?”
“Yes. “We used an organization that operates as a branch organization just in case something goes wrong, so there is absolutely no chance that the tails will know our side.”
“I see…. “It’s a blessing in disguise.”
Although the first button was inserted incorrectly….
It’s okay. Let’s calm down. There is still a chance.
As long as He is with me, I have the next opportunity.
If you make a mistake by being impatient, you will disappoint that person and be abandoned.
Slowly. Thinking about the next move.
“Let’s find out who that unidentified strong person is right now!”
“Yes! All right!”
Boom
I saw the guy who had received my order close the door and leave.
An unidentified strongman intervened….
Is it simply a coincidence?
Or… ….
* * *
After going out with Planme and getting attacked, I had to stay in my room.
Perhaps my previous experience of being attacked was such a shock to my parents that they did not allow me to go outside.
It must be quite shocking for a five-year-old child to almost be kidnapped.
Afterwards, it seemed like I was trying to find out who the benefactor who saved me was…… There is no way that can be found.
Anyway, I was locked in my room and ended up just reading a book.
If you want to go out, you can go out.
I have the power of the holy sword, so there is no one in this mansion who can stop me….
There is no reason to use that power.
It’s not like I have anything to do outside.
As I put the book I had just read on the bookshelf, the Bible next to it caught my eye.
Bible… ….
A book containing the stories of our children.
The first book I took out was the Bible, which contained the story of Leahism.
God of magic, Leah.
Leah became a wizard just as I remembered, excelling in magic, and later, as she grew up, she went beyond being an archmage who learned all existing magic and became a god.
Even at that young age, he was a child who would perfectly embody magic as if he had realized it just by reading a book about magic.
Well, even though he wasn’t as good as Tavares at that young age, he was outstanding enough to surpass the Archmage.
Of all the gods, it has the largest number of believers…….
Because Leah is a bright child.
Next, I took out the Bible of Aliaism that was sitting next to me.
Alia, God of War.
Ever since Alia was young, she loved to use mun and was good at it. As she is Babun’s daughter, she was born with exceptional military power.
He always enjoyed taking extreme action even when he was scolded and told that it was dangerous.
Did she become the god of war like that?
Surely if Alia became a god, would she be appropriate as a god of war? .
But why is there a war? ….
A war that has been experienced for a long time.
The war with the Demon King’s army showed me how terrible war was.
Our child, who wanted only good things and hoped to live a peaceful life, became the god of war.
Should I be happy or sad about this? ….
The last thing I took out was the Bible of the Huffness Church.
Huffness, the god of nature.
Huffness was quirky from a young age. He even talked to flying butterflies and tried to communicate with trees and rivers.
Innocent children sometimes talk to inanimate objects or non-intelligent creatures, so you may think it is the behavior of ordinary children, but this is a fantasy world.
Huffness communicated with and controlled numerous spirits from a young age.
The expression “Manipulate” May not be appropriate.
She always used the expression of asking her friends for favors.
Even so, he is the god of nature.
The owner of the World Tree Shrine….
My daughter… ….
Leah.
Alia.
Huffness.
Over a long period of time, these children have grown from being adults to becoming gods.
I kept trying to think that we shouldn’t meet.
As a ghost of the past, it is right for me to be forgotten and live as an unknown person.
Above all, I had the purpose of returning to the original world.
But 2000 years have passed.
Even if I go back, there is no hometown that will welcome me.
I guess the only ones who remember me from my past life are these children.
Of course, if you remember that too….
I know that I shouldn’t visit them.
But…… What keeps coming to me is…….
* * *
It appears that the knights were interrogating the group of captured thieves.
When I was reporting the contents to my parents, I secretly overheard.
As expected, the bandits are just tails.
They did not even know who the person who gave the order to them was.
He just knew about me and Planme, who were the targets.
These guys are always like that, but what are they thinking when they follow orders from someone they don’t even know who they are?
The only known fact.
Someone tried to kidnap us.
Both Planme and I.
Then, were they targeting the Allerto family and the Hresvelg family at the same time? .
And that was exactly at the time when Planme and I were out….
The most likely entity is the surrounding territory.
I thought about a territory that could target our two families, but nothing came to mind.
Everyone has maintained a decent relationship, even if they are not close, for a long time.
They are not the kind of people who would suddenly target us.
The movements of the two earl families were predicted there……..
If I had to prepare a tail like that, I would have prepared it for a long time.
Spy… is it.
Ha… A spy.
I never thought I would have to find a spy even if I were reincarnated.
Wasn’t it the sweet life of a peaceful nobleman?
Squeak
“Hey.”
Ecclesia opens the door and comes in.
“You come in without knocking?”
“Well, when did I knock and come in?”
Ecclesia said with a sour expression.
That’s shameless.
“So. “What’s going on?”
“Spy. Are you sure. No matter how much you think about it, this cannot happen without a spy being planted inside. “Probably one of the people in our mansion.”
“You mean a spy…? . “I was thinking that too.”
“Oh, you too?”
I never thought this guy would think the same thing as me.
“I often planted spies in my past life. So I know something about spies.”
You planted a lot of spies?
Did you become a high-ranking person in your past life? What kind of life have you lived?
“I also know a little bit because I caught a lot of spies in my past life.”
“Oh my. “Then shall we make a bet on who will find the spy first?”
“That sounds fun. “What is the price?”
“Hmm… “Living like a servant for a month?”
“It’s been a month….”
It’s longer than I thought, but… ….
“Heh. “Are you scared?”
“Ha. Is that possible? “I was wondering what I would ask you to do when I hired you as a servant.”
“Phew. Okay. “Shall we check out my little brother’s skills?”
It’s a bet to catch a spy….
Experience as a warrior in the past.
Memories of the numerous Allied spies that arose while opposing the Demon King’s army.
Let’s see who finds it first.
