"Cookie, what are you doing disguised as l⁉l is ・・・・・・ where is the real l!"
When I raised my voice, Cookie, who was in the form of l, turned her voice inside out with a stern look on her face, saying, "Hee! "
However, he imdiately put his hands out in front of him and started laughing to cover it up.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Oh, no, brother, what's wrong? I'm , for all intents and purposes, right?"
・・・・・・ cookie. I'm angry now. But if you don't tell the truth, I'm going to get really angry. Besides, since the attack, I've been training myself to recognize the kind of magic that is involved. You know what I an?
"U・・・・・・⁉"
The cookie, which had a nasty look on its face while still in the appearance of l, seed to have given up on the idea and changed into the form of Tia.
And then he jumped down from the bed and got down on his knees with the sa force.
"I am so sorry!'
Eeeeee⁉"
Danae, who had been watching the whole thing, held her mouth with her hand and shouted in surprise.
"You can apologize later! But what about l?"
Well, let's see... ・・・・・・
The cookie, which looked up from its kneeling position, was not at all happy, and its eyes were swimming.
At that ti, the voice of Sylvia, a rat tribe accompanying father in the imperial capital, emanated from the receiver he was carrying.
'Master Rid. Ergency ssage from Reiner-sama. Urgent communication. Please respond imdiately!"
At a ti like this⁉ I felt a disgusting sweat coming out of my body as I stared at the cookie.
'Wait a minute!"
Huh!" She was awestruck and plopped her head down on the floor again.
'This , Rid. Sylvia, what's wrong?"
I hurriedly invoked my communication magic and imdiately heard a reply from the receiver.
Master Rid! This is an ergency ssage from Rainer-sama. There is a very high possibility that the Duke of Lovelace's letter of intent is a fake. He requests that you imdiately contact the Christie Trading Company and instruct them to return to Bardia territory.
"・・・・・・⁉"
I could not believe my ears.
The docunts of the Duchess of Lovelace were on sealed paper, and just to be sure, the handwriting and the seal were definitely genuine after checking them against past ones.
'The letter of the Duchess of Lovelace is a fake! How can that be⁉"
'Master Rid. Master Reiner is in a ti of crisis right now. I'll explain the reason later, but first, he wants you to contact the Christie Trading Company."
I understand! I will contact them imdiately.
At the ti when the communication with Sylvia was over, Cookie had changed his expression.
Master Rid. l-chan is ・・・・・・ supposed to be in the back of the charcoal truck driven by Black Cat and Chris and the others!
"Na・・・・・・⁉ I knew it!"
l has been wanting to go to the capital for a long ti.
Yesterday, when we all had tea together, she asked when the Christie Trading Company would be leaving, and I guess she was thinking of a plan to sneak into the back of the truck and go to the imperial capital.
Even if they noticed l on the way, Chris and the others would not disrespect l.
If she arrived at the capital, father would probably be angry with her, but he would be there.
But that was if nothing went wrong.
I hurriedly activated the communication magic at maximum capacity.
I send a direct line to Selvia, who is accompanying Chris and the others.
This is Rid. Selvia, this is an ergency. Respond imdiately!
Soon after, her voice ca out of the receiving device.
"Master Rid. This is Selvia. How can I help you?"
Two main points. One, l must have snuck into the back of the truck. I want you to check it out imdiately.
"Yes, ldy is in the back of the truck⁉I'll stop the charcoal truck right away and check it out. Please wait a mont."
"No, I want you to listen to the second matter first!"
But no answer ca.
It seems that she stopped the charcoal truck and started looking for l.
"Selvia, Selvia! Answer !"
As I continued to call out, her voice ca through the receiver, "Master Rid! her voice emitted from the receiver.
"We found Lady ldy safe and sound. He was sleeping in the back of the truck with Cookie."
I'm so glad to hear that. But, Selvia, please hear out. Please hear out. The second point is that the letter from the Duchess of Lovelace was a fake. This could be a trap. You and the Christie Trading Company must turn back to Bardia territory imdiately!
"Yes, a trap⁉ I understand. I will tell Chris-sama imdiately!"
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, hurry up! If anything happens, anyti, it doesn't matter. Report to or Salvia imdiately. Understood?"
"Yes, I will!"
When the communication magic was over, he let out an involuntary sigh.
"Master Rid ・・・・・・."
I turned around when I heard my na called and saw that Biscuit's face had turned completely pale.
"I'm sorry. I have to contact my father first."
Saying that, I activate the communication magic again.
"This is Rid. Sylvia, respond."
" This is Sylvia from the Imperial City. Master Rid. Master Rainer asked if you could get in touch with Chris.'
She seed to have been waiting for the call and responded imdiately.
Yes . But there is a problem here too. Actually, it seems that l had snuck into the back of the charcoal truck Chris and the others were riding in, trying to get to the capital.
"Lady ldy is?⁉ Oh, wait, wait a minute. Oh, ah, ah, Rainer-sama is ・・・・・・ angry. He's so angry that he's wrinkling his brow with a blue streak, asking why this is happening "
At the mont Sylvia's shivering voice echoed from the receiver, the devilish expression on my father's face imdiately flashed through my mind.
When Father returns from the imperial capital, I will probably see that face, too, up close and in person.
After that, through her, I exchanged information with Father.
According to the report, when Duke Augusto Lovelace, the current head of the Lovelace Dukes, and my father t face to face, they brought up the matter of the Christie Trading Company, but the conversation did not go well at all.
When I asked about the letter that was sent to Bardia, Duke Augusto shook his head and said, "I did not send such a letter."
The father was astonished, and at the sa ti, it seems that until today, he felt strange that he had not been able to et with Duke Auguste in the imperial capital.
Then, sending a letter of condolence from before
When I told him that I had already requested a eting with him, Duke Auguste rolled his eyes and said, "That's also a first for ."
It is not that he could not et with him.
Soone must have been plotting to suppress the letter so that he and Duke Augustus would not et until today.
There was only one reason for such an arrangent.
From the Bardia territory, the Christie Trading Company.
To be more precise, to lure Chris, the representative of the company, to the Imperial capital,・・・・・・. That is the only possible reason.
That was the only conclusion my father ca to.
