"Your Majesty, I remember that your father made that dagger to celebrate the turning 5 years old of the eldest son of His Majesty King Ernst I."
It was a safe way of explaining things from the mouth of Reiko, who was working for the <<2nd Magecraft Meister> at the time.
"My God!"
"So the handle is also made small enough for a child's hand. The blade is made of a soft resin to prevent injury, and it glows because children will be pleased with it.
"If you, who knew what was going on at the time of ......, say so, then I guess so."
But be that as it may," the emperor continued.
"It is also true that this dagger has saved the imperial bloodline several times in the past."
"What do you mean?"
Jin asked back at the Emperor's unexpected words.
"Well. In fact, there was a queen who was unfaithful to the emperor in the past, and the question was whether or not she could shine a dagger to determine whether or not the child was of the emperor's bloodline.... ..."
"Oh, ......"
Hearing this explanation, Jin thought that it would certainly be used in such a way .......
I also thought that Jin had already disappeared by that time, and that it must have been treated as a treasure as it was handed down from generation to generation.
Jin thought that he should be more careful with his gift ......, but it might be too late now.
Then he asked one more question.
"Sire, may my hand also capture the one who was running away with the dagger?"
Actually, this question has two meanings.
Under Shoro law, Jin does not have the authority to arrest such criminals, so permission is required (with the proviso that he must be caught red-handed).
Therefore, the kidnapper of Meltze could be caught, but the woman with the dagger could not be arrested because only the dagger was recovered.
The other meaning is <>.
Jin thinks that it would be better to keep the story domestic for this one time, since it would be an embarrassment to the emperor's family.
"Hmm? ...... Jin-dono's men not only recovered the dagger, but they also know the whereabouts of the culprit?"
"Yes. Yes. The killer is still out there because the priority this time was to retrieve the dagger.
"...... understand. For once, I'll allow you to arrest him on behalf of the soldiers. No, arrest him. I'll write to him.
"Thank you, sir."
Literally, with the Emperor's approval, Jin instructed and to arrest the culprit through the old man.

And the town of Ulm.
Local time is 6:00 pm.
The old man ordered Regulus 48<> and Deneb 22<> to capture the woman.
.
"Understood."
The two bodies confirmed that the subject was in the room, and then they went into action.
The room has a window, so <> is outside the window to seal it so that the subject cannot escape.
<> rushes in through the door and secures the woman .......
The four members of the <> are still here, and will follow her in case she escapes.
< is at the door is because she thinks it will be less likely to alert the woman.
"<> has also gone to the window. ...... Okay, let's go!"
<> knocks on the door of the room where the woman is staying.......
