Chapter 442: CH 443

The the name of the boss of the dark guild 『Moonlight Owl』 was apparently Forbach. Originally an Elf from Yggurle Kingdom, he wandered from place to place around the continent as he built up the dark guild 『Moonlight Owl』.

Basing his headquarters at a border region of Triaria Kingdom, his organization grew to be capable of conducting legitimate businesses like supplying weapons and military goods, to all sorts of criminal activities such as acting as an intermediary for arms dealers, stealing, killing, and drugs.

Forbach was a cautious man, so naturally, not even the executives of his organization knew that he was an elf. He constantly moved from one base to another so his trail could not be kept track of.

As for why such a cautious man came all the way out to Wedgefort in person, the client for the job today was a noble of Yggurle Kingdom, but the main reason was simply because there were not enough people, the hideouts of the 『Moonlight Owl』 in Valkyra Kingdom and Lomaria Kingdom were exposed and many of his underlings were arrested.

Moreover, the person who requested the attack on us was just as we had imagined, a noble of Yggurle Kingdom, Earl Hordia. However, it seemed like Earl Vautarc and Earl Sechnal of Samandour Kingdom also happened to have the same plan and were on board, and as a result, this was the attack of multiple people.

Back in the Sanctuary mansion, I informed everyone of the results of the interrogation conducted in Valor.

「Their objectives were all different, but they all had an interest in killing me.」

「That Earl Hordia guy is an orc in elf’s clothing, isn’t he? You said that he was always pining for Sophia. A stalker for several decades.」

Perhaps because Akane imagined what Earl Hordia was like, she shivered and held herself.

「……Earl Hordia is one thing, but those two Samandourian nobles didn’t learn their lesson either.」

「They looked really greedy.」

Earl Hordia may have had feelings for Sophia, so much so that Sophia ended up in the Moulin Slavery Company for many years, but now that she’s been released from slavery, was now married to me, I’d really rather he stop getting involved with us.

As Maria said, the problem were the two from Samandour.

「According to the information that Sylph and the others gathered, Earl Sechnal and Earl Vautarc wanted my magic devices. They had an agreement that in exchange for giving Sophia to Earl Hordia, they would take Maria, Marnie, Laeva, and Akane as slaves.」

「Those guys are bullshitting. They also want Tsubaki and the carriage, don’t they? Tsubaki can only be Takumi’s familiar.」

Hearing that they also planned to sell her as a slave, Akane lost her temper.

Sure enough, I can’t think of Tsubaki as anything but my familiar. But it doesn’t mean there was no way.

「Akane, they must have thought it would be fine if they prepared a slavery collar just like that black ogre’s. ……well, the question of whether they could get the collar on or not was another thing, though.」

Yes, slave collars for monster were effective. However, those made by inexperienced people would be ineffective against high ranking monsters like Kaede and Tsubaki.

「So, what are you going to do?」

Akane asked me.

Of course I knew what she was asking. How we would deal with the three nobles.

Sophia, Maria, and Marnie basically respect my wishes, so I have these kinds of discussions a lot with Akane.

「……with only Forbach’s testimony, it would be difficult to judge the nobles from different countries.」

「Even so, if we don’t do anything, they’ll make light of us.」

I understand what Akane was saying. If they make light of us, then they’ll keep making passes at us endlessly.

「Even if I’m called the custodian of the Sancutary, I am still just a commoner.」

「That’s the problem. No matter how much testimonies we get, it would be hard to lay hands on the foreign nobles.」

If, at the very least, if there was a document that remained from the contract with the nobles, we might be able to seek action from the country to judge them. But because Forbach was such a cautious man, there’s not a single bit of evidence left behind. There’s no doubt about this because it was said in the interrogation under a slavery collar.

「If it was Valkyra Kingdom’s nobles, we could have tattled to Margrave Volton and even his Majesty.」

「Right? It’s hard for us commoners to come out strong against foreign nobles.」

They know this very well, so the two from Samandour know this so they haven’t learned their lesson.

「I wonder if we could harass them without being found out.」

「Yeah. Let’s think of what kind of revenge we could do.」

Sophia said that Princess Mimir might be able to lend a hand regarding Earl Hordia’s case.

「Hmmm, maybe she can do something more than us commoners of a foreign countries?」

「Then, I will book an appointment with Princess Mimir.」

Maria immediately went next door to Princess Mimir’s mansion.

Princess Mimir’s mansion was built right next to our mansion, but when she saw that I was building an employee dormitory for our mansion, she asked me to build one for her as well, so I built an employee dormitory for her attendants and servants.

There were already people who manage the mansion and garden, chefs, and maids residing there, so we’re able to send word on important matters even if Princess Mimir returns to her country.

Now then, what should we do?

We will do it, absolutely.
