--But the kidnapping of the Marquis of Carew Gaston has sent shockwaves through the aristocratic circles of the kingdom.
In order to cover up his own wrongdoings, he frightened the children of other families and then plotted to kill them.
The other nobles were no strangers to this, and naturally the Marquis's actions became a target of condemnation.
It is likely that many of them thought that tomorrow would be my death.
They would be framed and dealt with in secret.
And then, with money and power at their disposal, they were forced to cry themselves to sleep.
When something that only happens in a story is about to happen in real life, a coward would overreact.
What was surprising was that the nobles close to the Marquis took the initiative in condemning him.
They are the nobles who are under the Marquis' power and would normally cooperate with him.
These people, however, turned their hands to the enemy of the Marquis.
Even from their point of view, the Marquis's actions were probably seen as excessive.
If he defended himself, he would have come under fire.
Of course, there may have been some manipulation by the Inspector General's office.
In the end, no one took the Marquis's side, and since the location of the crime was clear, the Marquis was condemned without any excuse.
He is currently undergoing a rigorous interrogation to determine whether or not he is guilty of any additional crimes, and will soon be brought before the king to be sentenced.
On the other hand, the families of Cremeria and Raytheft, who broke into the Marquis's house with their forces, were not blamed.
The two families were the victims of the attack, and they had a legitimate reason for breaking into the house to save their daughter.
It was expected that there would be some kind of condemnation because of the armed attack and the killing of the mercenaries hired by the Marquis, but Lisa Rousey, the director of the inspector general's office, handled the situation well.
Although it was a big deal, it did not cause much of a stir, and the rumors among the nobles soon died down.
However, a few days after Arx's attack on the Marquis' residence.
On this day, the Raytheft family received a visitor.
A servant at the mansion announced the arrival and accompanied Noah to the drawing room.
His uncle, Clive Arbent, was sitting on the sofa as usual, smoking a large cigar.
"Good morning, Uncle.
"Good morning, Uncle. You look like a woman today.
That's the first thing you say when you see me. ......
That's because your face is the first thing people see. It's the first thing that jumps out at you. - Well, you'll become more manly in time.
"It's going to be ......, isn't it?
I asked, and Crabbe looked at me funny for a second.
"I think it'll be ............, don't you?
Why the question? Noah.
I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir, but I can't give you a quick answer to a question that's more difficult than the final exam at the Academy of Magic.
This squire is... ......
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm not sure what to make of it.
Anyway, Crabbe wasn't the only one who visited Raytheft's house that day.
Diagonally behind him was a man with long hair pulled back in an all-black bun. He was standing behind him with a somewhat dazed expression on his face.
He was in his late twenties.
He was in his late twenties, with a slashed nape of the neck and a set of blank eyes.
"Yes?
When I look at him curiously, the man calls out to me.
The greeting is too frank for a nobleman, but the man is also dressed like a nobleman's servant.
His face is familiar to me, but...
"......, who are you?
"What? Who? The mage who escaped from prison with you. Have you forgotten? You're so cold.
Jailbreak.
Mage.
There's only one person I can think of with those words.
"......"? You don't think it's Kazi, do you? What? You're kidding, right? You're not the same person, are you?
I'm not sure it's a different person, but ...... it doesn't look that good on me.
I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
Perhaps because their hair is done up tightly with hairdresser, they can't shake off the bad vibe.
He must have cleaned himself up and dressed well.
But this is not a
"......BHO!
I couldn't hold back the laughter that was welling up in me, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then Kazui gave me a reproachful look.
"Hey, what's so funny?
No, it's just that you're dressed like that even though you look like a scoundrel.
You look like a mafia boss.
You can't laugh at someone's appearance, Mr. Arx. ............ pfft.
And you're laughing too!
I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
............ After the matter in the alley was settled.
It was Kazi's story that came to light.
He and I had talked about it in the sealing tower, and the agreement was that I would give him money when it was over.
Naturally, I thought we were going to talk about money after that, but for some reason, he told me about his job offer.
It was a sales pitch, asking if he would hire him.
As for Arx, it would be nice to have more friends in the future, but that doesn't mean that he can be welcomed as a squire of a nobleman so easily.
That's why he decided to go to Crabbe's place for some sort of job training.
"Uncle?
I looked at him as if to ask how it went.
I looked at him to ask how he was doing, and he replied, "Well, at least I trained him to work without any major problems. I also supervised the magic, and it's pretty good too.
He seemed to be generally pleased with the results.
I'm not sure if it's a bad thing, but it's hard to find a good mage, so I guess I can live with it.
Then, Kazi made a reproachful noise.
I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to die.
"Hey, hey. I thought I was going to die. Old man.
Squish!
Ow! Don't grab me with a smile on your face! I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm not sure what to say. Oh no!
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
Kazi screams as Crabbe grabs her arm, and she writhes in agony, but the commandment is not lifted.
Kazi is on the verge of death, but to Crabbe, it's still light.
He watches her writhing with a grin on his face.
It's a horrible thing, those big muscles.
Eventually, when he was relieved of his punishment.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.
