When I knocked on the door in front of me, I immediately heard a voice saying "Come in" from inside.
I'm sure you'll be able to see the interior of the room and Beatrice, who is in bed and lying on her upper body.
You can also have a look at the following tips to make sure you're in the right place at the right time
You look fine.
As you can see. But I'm sorry to see you like this.
...... No problem . ...... hurt anywhere?
"No, as you can see, I'm intact. I'm doing this just in case. Well, actually, that's not even a precaution.
"So you're under house arrest, essentially.
That's the way it is. ...... And I've heard about you, but you really are there, Henriette. It's been a long time since I've been here, but it's been a while. But it feels like this is the first time we've talked like this.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
I'm sure I know how you feel, or perhaps you're thinking something similar to what Allen thought when he met Beatrice again.
I'm sure you're thinking something similar to how you felt when you met Beatrice again.
"There's no need to use that kind of language, and there's no need to put a figure on it. This is just Henriette.
...... Well, I get it. But then again, I've been told similar things before, and I've heard there are a lot of similar people around me.
Beatrice didn't say who she was referring to, but it's clear who she was referring to when her eyes turned to Allen.
But Allen shrugs his shoulders to escape his eyes.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can get together with people like that," he said. And that's what it's like from Leeds.
Huh, sure. ...... and that's enough small talk. You've come to find out about this Master Leeds, haven't you?
"...... What do you find out?
I thought you were under house arrest for not understanding: ......?
That's right. At least I don't understand what happened, and neither does the country's leadership. But maybe you can learn something from the same information. And I'm sure that's why they let you through here.
I know, I thought it was pretty easy for you to get in, but I'm guessing that the higher-ups were clutching at straws, too.
The reason I say that is because Allen and his friends are now in a part of the royal castle.
Yes, Beatrice was in the castle for some reason.
After making various communications and reports, Allen immediately looked for Beatrice's whereabouts.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you with your own personal needs.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
"Well, having said that, there's not much I can actually tell you.
"...... keep quiet?
No, it's just that there are genuinely few known facts.
Hmm, well, I mean, the situation is unknown. So what was it like, exactly?
"It happened this morning. As I have already said, the location was the plains, less than a day's ride from King's Landing. It was on the way back to the dukedom from King's Landing.
"Huh? I thought you were on your way to King's Landing, but you were on your way home? Isn't it early?
...... Well, there's a lot going on. I'm not going to stay in King's Landing, but I'll be back soon.
If he was not on his way, then the premise of the speculation breaks down, but it's hard to say whether ...... will change the conclusion.
If you've already been to King's Landing, more people will know that Leeds is here, but if he left immediately, there's no way to predict such a thing.
Depending on the content of the various reasons for doing so, I don't know ...... well, it's probably not relevant.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
"What's the content of that stuff, by the way?
The Empire to the fiefdoms and demons. ...... In short, they can't afford to stay in King's Landing given the current situation, so they decided to return to the fiefdoms immediately.
...... Okay, that seems to be irrelevant in this case.
The bottom line is that it's Master Leeds' choice. No one could have predicted it.
"...... convinced. . and?
...... It's hard to explain where exactly it was, because there's nothing distinctive about it, it's really just a plain, and it just happened out of nowhere. There's nothing distinctive about it, it's really just a plain, and it happened all of a sudden.
What's going on?
I don't know what ...... means. All I know is that the carriage stopped abruptly. But I knew something was wrong. The guards didn't seem to be moving, and I didn't hear a sound. So I ran out with caution ...... and then I lost consciousness.
Is that what you mean when you say you don't even know what happened to ......?
The moment I stepped outside, I was knocked out before I could even try to recognize anything. But that's why the fact that Master Leeds was kidnapped is actually only a circumstantial guess. As long as you can't see him, I don't think there's anything else: ......
When I heard that much, I turned my attention to Milene because I had just heard a similar story from her.
Circumstantial evidence suggests that he was abducted.
Even though we thought they were related from the beginning, it seems that we have found common ground faster than we thought.
You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that ...... is a good place to start.
Hmm ...... Well, I'll tell you when I'm done talking to you. Maybe it's not so unrelated.
"Huh. ......? Is there any information that might give you a clue? ...... Well, okay. So, it was not until some time later that I woke up. I was surprised to find myself not only alive, but uninjured and right next to the carriage. ...... Rather than that, I looked inside the carriage and saw that it was empty.
"Of course you've been looking around, haven't you?
Of course. Judging by the slope of the sun, I should not have been unconscious very long. But I couldn't find a single sign that Master Leeds had gone anywhere, let alone seen him.
"What about ...... escorts and such?
"Everyone was safe. But it seems I was the only one who didn't know what happened. After all, they said they found themselves in the wagon and lost consciousness. And probably all of them at the same time. None of them noticed anything unusual.
"Is it possible that you're lying?
"Researched of course. The results are all clear. Incidentally, some of them were unconscious at the same time, including you and your horse. Perhaps that's when I felt abnormal.
"...... Beatrice and Leeds are the only exceptions?
I've heard that was. We have no idea how or why. Yes, the guards and the men were all unharmed, but the horse suffered some damage. That's not surprising if the rider suddenly lost consciousness while riding.
But it didn't wake up. There would have been a certain amount of vibration, and yet the guards didn't wake up: ......
A gift or similar power, I suppose. The reason it didn't work on Beatrice and Leeds is because of the ...... Beatrice has some kind of resistance to the status quo or something, right?
...... I'm pretty sure there was a ......, but I didn't think of that. I had no idea that there was .......
"Well, it's not a move that's used very often, but it's a move that no one can use.
Owners of the gift of giving an opponent a state defect are very rare.
And if you can use it, it is usually hidden.
A gift is basically useless just to have it.
No matter how powerful a gift is, if you can't use it, it's useless, but when it comes to abnormalities, it's different.
You don't have to master it to give the effect.
However, if you don't learn how to use it, you will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, so you'll be throwing out state disorders indiscriminately.
There are even records of allies being wiped out because of it, which is why it's easy to get burned.
For this reason, it was almost never revealed to the public, and to the best of Allen's knowledge, no one had used it in the last ten years or so.
That's probably why Beatrice hadn't thought of it.
You'll be able to find out more about the best way to get the most out of your new job. I'm sure we'll be able to get back within the same day if we run. And then I was pressed in here under the guise of checking up on the situation and seeing if anything was wrong.
"...... suspected?
No, it's more of an excuse to get around. I'm told the guards are under house arrest somewhere.
Well, you can't leave the most informed and suspicious people behind when there's a high probability that the former princess was kidnapped.
The original or not, it's worthwhile, and it's natural to suspect the work of an insider, like we don't know anything about it. If you don't do anything, you'll be blamed from the outside, so that's a fair point.
Although Beatrice and her friends treated her unreasonably, she at least seems to be satisfied with her treatment, perhaps because she is not being treated unfairly.
Or maybe it's out of remorse for not being able to protect Leeds.
"And, well, that's all I can tell you. Maybe it's because it hasn't been long, but there's not much else we know.
"I see. ...... Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's not much of a stretch, is it?
By the way, you guys were looking at each other earlier, what was that all about?
"Oh, is that? That's because I've heard similar stories,
"...... Noel was likely kidnapped as well.
"Noel-dono ......?
Speaking of Noel, Beatrice let out a breath, scowling.
He nodded at that.
...... certainly is similar in some ways. And we're dealing with the person who was targeted. That possibility has been considered here too, but ......
"Yeah, ...... the culprit could be the devil
It's not surprising that these guys can use their status quo.
"More likely than ......? But ......
After all, there is no progress.
You shrug at Milene as if to say that and let out a breath.
That's not a good thing to say, and it's not Beatrice's fault either.
I wonder if Milene knows that, and she nodded her head.
Now, though, what's going on.
It's true that we haven't made any progress, but we can't give up now.
You'll be able to find out what Beatrice has to say about it, and you'll be able to talk to her guards in the hope that you'll be able to hear something that Beatrice isn't aware of, or you'll be able to actually go to the site.
With so few clues, your options are inevitably limited.
Wondering what was really going on, Allen let out his breath once more, wondering what to do.
