Chapter 109.

The bright red dashboard flashed above his head. Why?

Out of nowhere, an alarm sounded.

I forgot to play the sick man, hesitating and scrambling back because he was coming.

There was a huff.

“It’s all rumors, Your Highness! I didn’t say anything like that! Really!”

“Hmm? Thinking about what the male daughter said to me, it seems like it’s not a rumor at all.”

“Is it? What words …….”

“Didn’t you say that you stopped adoring me for a better man?”

“What? It’s not like that ……!”

In the distorted scene happening in front of his eyes.

“I’m not going to adore anyone for a while. Absolutely?”

“Of course, you must!”

At my affirmative answer, the Crown Prince spewed a terrifying aura to return the favor.

“Whoever is better than me in the Inca Empire, I’ll snap his eyes out of his head so he can see.”

Red eyes blinked at me.

“…… Hmm? What’s so weird about that?”

My next bit of talk was interrupted. Because it felt as if the conversation was straying from the original topic.

“But ……”

In the moment of repeatedly recalling his words, “Why is it always hesitant like a dog that wants to poop?”

Suddenly the crown prince frowned and took another step.” You’re a dog that wants to shit!”

Still fighting over the lowly guy’s choice of words, I took another step back. A little nervous, actually. How’s the good feeling going?

Just being in a state of unawareness and being close to the guy who came to count, who knows what could go wrong?

The Duke’s family was well organized, no danger of falling and hitting your head.

But there was a thing called “what if”.

In order to prevent a tragedy that might happen in the damn game, I’m continuing to keep my distance from the crown prince.

“Huh?”

Does it seem strange that I’m suddenly retreating once again? The Crown Prince asked, “See this?”

Narrowing his eyes with a childish expression. He took a big step closer. Without realizing it we left the garden and escaped to where it met the woods.

A man with red eyes that didn’t match the delicate stems of the new yellow flowers at all looked strange standing alone in the middle of the garden.

I was always so alarmed at the Crown Prince’s narrowing of the distance that I shouted.

“Why, why do you always come closer?”

“And why are you always running away?”

Sure enough. I, who sensed the escape, deliberately always came closer.” Persistent guy!”

Swallowing the insults, I try to act as weak as possible.

“I-I’m the one who’s sick, your highness.”

“Who said that?”

“The pact made with me …… You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

“What pact?”

“The pact made in the bedroom. Since the beginning of time, even on the battlefield, the old and the sick have the right not to be tortured.”

I don’t know if he forgot, but he was confused for a moment, and suddenly a gale was blowing.

“Ha. Do I look to you like a madman rumored to have come to pick the neck of the Duchess?”

“……………” Doesn’t it?

After the silence, the Crown Prince stiffened ferociously. He suddenly opened his arms, revealing my waist.

“Here, take a look, I didn’t bring a knife here.”

“Uh, uh ………”

I was a little surprised. Since arriving at the banquet hall, the guy had literally come with a longsword ……

Staring at the empty his waist, he murmured carefully.” …… Because you don’t have to only threaten people with a sword.”

“I’m not as good as anyone, how can I be the one who can knock over horses like a handful in a couple weeks.”

“Ha …… I really, really don’t know why I’m making such excuses.” The Crown Prince muttered in a breathless tone, suddenly asking.” So you’re always worried about this? No wonder it always seems suspicious …….”

“!”

All inside was discovered, “Don’t you have a battle record ……”

Lost all intention of retorting.” In the matter of the Judge …… I’m sorry, your highness.”

For committing a crime, I mulled over a vague excuse.

“I really couldn’t do anything to avoid the Marquis of Ellen’s compositional simulation.”

“Did you say you’re sorry? Ha. Knowing how sometimes ridiculous I get reports, I can’t even get angry.”

“…… Sorry.”

I quickly switched words and dutifully apologized before he could cross over to the unpleasantness and get angry.

“Being poisoned, struggling in desperation, barely opening my eyes, only to be kicked so hard by the lady who likes me, it’s breathless.”

Yeah. The fact that you don’t have a knife proves that you’re a long way from death I hazily look at the ominous good feeling gauge of the guy who stopped flickering and try to think positively.

“What’s wrong with you again?”

“What’s wrong with your dead face?”

“? Who knows if you’re here to kill really sick people.”

Probably looking at me like that and misunderstanding, the Crown Prince snorted and laughed. Wasn’t he?

I saw him again with new eyes. My kind of behavior made the Crown Prince stare.” I’m writing a letter to meet you, and by the way, I’ll tell you the result, and what to convey.”

“That threat, no, is the letter …… meant to be?”

“What. Do you have something against my letter?”

“Ah, no.”

To me who quickly denied it, the Crown Prince took something out of his arms.” Here, take this.”

I blinked as I looked down at what he handed me. The faded brown paper was tied with a red ribbon.

“What is this ……?”

“It’s the map you dug out of the skull. The magic scroll we wrote when we left the cave.”

“Magic scrolling?”

“The palace wizards looked at the hands and recovered better .”

My eyes widened. Looking at it again, the rotting part became clean due to the ashes being caught.

Why did the crown prince give me this, I don’t know its significance.” Why did you do this to me ……”

“You unearthed it, it’s yours, isn’t it.” To my question Callisto seemed to answer as a matter of course.

“You seem to be interested in archaeology. Through the attendant even the information related to him was sent along with it, so please confirm it.”

After saying that, he awkwardly averted his eyes. I was gripped by a marvelous mood. Callisto really wasn’t here to kill me with. Besides, it’s not like he even brought an unexpected gift.

One day, my heart was pounding. I froze halfway down the scroll he handed me.” What’s it for? Don’t you want it?”

As it turned out, the guy who couldn’t wait scrolled impatiently and prodded irritably before I accepted it all at once.

“…… Can you give this to me? It’s pretty important.”

“I made a separate copy in order to use it as research material, don’t worry.”

Was there really an intention to give it to me, he said carelessly. Those words made me feel better inside.

“But for the Duke, he studied archaeology, you must have kept it a secret, right? I told the truth, that I had come to deliver the relics, but still I did not believe it.”

At that moment the prince seemed to suddenly remember and asked. I can’t get anything back. Nor was it really Penelope, for in any case the duke did not care what the interests of the two daughters were.

“…… I will thank you for the gift, Your Highness.”

Instead of answering, I expressed pure gratitude. Then carefully hugged the proffered scroll tightly. It was the most mood-enhancing gift since coming here, and it always snickered out. Back then.

“Thank you? You thanked me early.”

“…… What?”

“I have another gift.”

The Crown Prince frowned and once again pulled something out of his pocket.” Come.”

This time the white paper bag popped out.

“What’s this again?”

“Take it first.”

Unable to resist waving my arm, I dutifully received it as well. Because I thought it would be another thing connected to the relic.

“It’s a pity I can’t cut off the head of the Marquis of Eren, Duchess.” But in lieu of a description of the gift, Callisto suddenly said a lot of things.” What is that ……”

“You’re saying that the old man was released for not being suspicious.”

“What?!”

The news announcing the result of the bad assassination came out loud and clear without realizing it. Marquis Ellen was the force that instigated the assassination no matter who was watching. The methods that could be used were done, why on earth ……” I instantly changed back to a serious face.

“Oh, what’s wrong?”

“The Margrave broke his tail and framed it all on the mad Baron Tullett.”

“Ah.”

I let out a short sharp cry. The Crown Prince’s words came out of nowhere. The [Assassin’s Gift] that Quist gave you is not Duke Ellen’s.

“That, then …… then just like that it all, became something that didn’t happen? That’s too much!”

The time that was spent so laboriously can’t be like this. I twisted my face without realizing it…

“Don’t be too sorry.”

The Crown Prince said comfortingly. I couldn’t believe it even with my ears, and raised my sight to look at him. Callisto made a somewhat embarrassed face.

.” But I’m still sure about the male daughter’s revenge.”

“…… Revenge?”

“Yes. I personally cut off the heads of seven nobles.”

The man uttered those words, showing his teeth and grinning. The eyes became horrified. He spoke as brutally as if he had cut his throat, creeping people out. But on the other hand, the way he calmly conveyed the results must have been …….

“You’re like someone who knew this would happen.”

It was impossible to catch the Marquis d’Ellen, and to regret that it was not I who wept bitterly, but the party in question, Callis Tor. But he added hastily, as if he feared I would be sad.

“The Earl of Kelin was admittedly involved in the assassination, and his property was confiscated and reduced to slavery. Wasn’t a member of the family directly involved, so the execution could be avoided.”

“Is Earl Kellin going?”

Rarely is it painful news. The crown prince who confirmed my improved expression stared at me with marvelous eyes. Then, with my chin chinning the white envelope I was holding, I finally revealed the true identity of the gift.

“That’s one of the confiscated properties of the Kelin family.”

“What ……”

“Do you remember last year when you were banned from a trophy hunting competition? The event called “Land of the Crossbow Crazy Chimps”.”

“Yes, of course I remember ……”

I replied in a shaky voice. I didn’t do it myself, it wasn’t much of a shock. However, because of the words and actions of the old tooth “crossbow crazy chimpanzee”, the mood became very uncomfortable. But that thought didn’t last long.

“Your father gave the diamond mine to the Earl of Kellin, who already had his own agreement in case you were imprisoned.”

“…… diamond mine?!”

His ears perked up at what he then said. Totally unaware of such a situation.” That’s what you’re holding now. The Diamond Mine All Book.” Looking at the bewildered and surprised me, the crown prince arrogantly lowered his head.
