Chapter 417: 417 - - 47!!?

Again: ....... I hope you've had enough.

Walking quietly down the hallway in disgust is Kakuin, who is in charge of the Elf King's security. He sighs loudly as he makes his way to the room of his captain, Ortó.

He is not as open-minded as Captain Ortó. He does not want anything to do with the human race if he can help it. He has no choice but to take up the guard duty by order, but he really would have refused this kind of mission at all costs.

He was confident that his loyalty to the king was second to none. If the king asked him to die, he would give his life immediately. That is why he was entrusted with the king's guard. But he could not die for those people. I cannot die for them.

But this time I could not refuse because of Princess Meek's request. It would probably make the king sad. It is not his intention to make the king sad.

With this conflict in mind, he opens the door to the captain's room.

"...... What?　You think you have a good idea who did it?"

Ortó rolled his eyes in surprise. But his expression quickly returned to normal, and he gave a dismayed smile.

"What in the world makes you say that?"

I don't know. But Princess Meek said so, and she insisted on calling the captain first.

"I see. Well, if that's what the princess says, then so be it. Let's go see her.

With that he got up from his chair.

Walking behind Ortó, Kakuin muttered to himself. The captain would not have gone that far. And, when he thought about his feelings, he admired the way he tried to fulfill his duty without showing any dissatisfaction, even though it was a job that he did not want to do.

I admire his attitude.

"I understand you have a good idea who the culprit is: ......"

Ortó looks at Sidhi with a smiling face. His face is smiling, but his body is oozing an air of not wanting to say anything more. I look at Sadie, but she doesn't make eye contact with me and keeps a cool face.

"Yes. It was a left-handed elf who killed Leila. A left-handed elf on these royal grounds. And a man. That's what we're looking for.

"............"

"Be it in words. They won't understand. It might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"...... Yes, sir. May I ask why, Your Highness?

"Leila was stabbed in the left side of her stomach, wasn't she?　Then you are left-handed."

Thank you very much. But I think it would be premature to assume that the murderer is left-handed.

Why?

Even though he was stabbed in the side, the situation changes depending on whether he was stabbed from the front or the back. There is no need for you to worry about it, Your Highness.

"I'm worried too. I want to catch the murderer as soon as possible.

Yes, sir. We are doing our utmost to catch the culprit. Your Highness, I understand your concern.

With these words, he bowed reverently. At that moment, Meek and Sidi looked at each other.

"Mr. Ortó, may I ask you a question too?"

"Anything."

He turned to Sadie and stared into her face.

"Where is the body of the murdered Leila?"

"......Why would you do such a thing?"

"No, I was wondering how the elves bury their dead. ......"

"Ha ha ha. You're an odd one, aren't you? ...... No, excuse me. When we elves die we are buried outside the village.

"Outside the village?　You don't cremate them?"

Yes. We are buried in the snow outside the village in the state of death. It is true that when we lived on the ground, we were sometimes buried in the ground, but since we came to this mountain, we have always been buried in the snow.

"That ...... undeadness is ......."

"It's this cold. That's impossible. Therefore, there will be no decomposition of the bodies. Therefore, if we want to see the dead, we can always do so.

"So, Leila's body is also ......?　No, Princess Meek says. We elves don't die from a stab in the gut.

Sidi quickly turns his attention to Meek. She nodded slowly in response.

"I'm very afraid to do this, but ....... Leila was stabbed in the left side and died. I don't know anything more than that.

"Thank you. No, I just wanted to address Princess Meek's concerns. I am trained as a pharmacist, so I can tell from the body what might have caused the fatal wound. If you don't mind, may I take a look at Leila-san's body?

"I'd like to say ......, but unfortunately Leila's body is not in this castle."

Have they been buried yet?

No, sir. We cremated him.

"What?"

"Leila has bled. It is a rule that an elf who has bled to death should be cremated.

"So ...... that's right."

Sidi looks at Meek with a puzzled look on his face. She nods and turns to Ortó.

"If we had seen the body, we would have known which one was the murderer.

"As you know, Princess, blood is the most abhorrent thing for us elves. Those who cannot wipe it off themselves cannot complain of what is done to them. Forgive me for saying this, but Leila has defiled this castle with her blood. But we have managed to minimize that stain: ....... That alone would have made her life worth a lot.

What you are saying is absurd. ...... What kind of mind is this guy really in? I was about to vomit and struggling to hold it together. Sure, Leila, the elf, was a nasty woman. But she had been killed. I don't know why, but she was killed. Ortó says that she was a woman who was good at her job, even if she was a bit of a jerk. A co-worker, if you will. A colleague. You can't talk like that when one of your own is being murdered. Aren't you sad? Didn't she have a family too? I wonder if she told them. I wonder if there are a lot of people who are grieving.

...... I'm getting a headache from thinking about it so much. No, let's just calm down.

I take a deep breath and catch my breath. Meanwhile, Ortó and Meek continue their conversation. And Sidney keeps staring at me. On the one hand, I am impressed that Siddee is maintaining her composure in this situation, but on the other hand, I wonder if she is not getting angry. Her cute smile is now replaced by a calm, rather cold expression. In a way, I wonder if this is another face of Sadie. Does she have a side of her that I don't know?

"...... The king would like to serve you dinner. I will come for you when everything is ready.

Ortó then left the room.

After seeing him off, Miek sighed heavily and turned his attention to Sidi. She nodded a little and put the index finger of her right hand under her chin, thinking about something.

"Sadie ......"

When I spoke to her, she opened her right hand and paused as if to tell me not to talk to her any more.

"I understand how you feel."

"No, you know what?"

"Master Linos. You are very angry now, aren't you?　I understand how you feel. But please don't show your anger. It will cause you to make bad decisions. For now, remain calm and look at it calmly and ...... with an icy awareness."

When she had said all that, she let out a slow breath.

"But I'm glad. I'm glad that Linos is angry with me. ....... Actually, I was also angry. This Ortó guy is a joke."

"Sidi ......"

"But thanks to that, I found the culprit in this case. Now we just need to ...... figure out how to flush them out. ......"

She let her gaze wander a bit in the air, but then turned in my direction.

"Now I need you to make a move too, Mr. Linos. I'm counting on you.

She smiled when she said that. Her smile was very cute.
