Redleaf youve really taken this as your own ho, havent you
Her wants didnt go unanswered long before Doris ca back with a tray of snacks of sweet creams and honeys. With a smile, Redleaf gladly dug in.
Looking at her enter afternoon tea mode, Misseger knew that the elf had no more questions. Turning back to her master, she continued reporting, Two months ago, Viscount Nollens was found to have secretly transferred his assets to the Kingdom of Ertalon. Thanks to our royal mages, we managed to capture the Viscount before he managed to abscond
This revelation was big. There was now a high chance that the mastermind was connected to Ertalon. But why would the personal maid of the King know about how so viscount was secretly transferring his assets to another kingdom two months ago? Especially since he did so secretly.
Clearly, our dear Majesty had his intelligence forces monitoring the entire kingdom, and the person in charge of this departnt was most likely this mature-looking beauty in front of us!
As for why no one noticed these intruders before they proceeded to intrude Well, I really didnt know. Perhaps a mistake? Or perhaps on purpose? Either way, that had nothing to do with .
But now that we had the culprit responsible for this security lapse, another problem arises. I did not know this Viscount Nollens, and even if he had seen before, he shouldnt have known about the progress of the lab.
The progress was a highly-guarded secret, with only the King and the Prince, and perhaps their closest confidants, having access to this information.
If such confidants were responsible for the leak then this kingdom wasnt that far off from its doom. In that case, the most likely people to have leaked were those working on the project!
Now, just because the brass of the lab were always fooling around and watching movies, didnt an they werent tight-lipped when it mattered. Every researcher was monitored as required. Even with his royal ties, Amori had never left the palace since starting on this project, not even once, let alone those under him.
The only way those working underneath him could sneak out this bit of information was if they had so thod we werent aware of yet.
So very arcane thods, brimming with fantasy
My apologies, a matter has appeared which requires my attention
Without warning, Misseger suddenly bade her farewell, having received a signal from an unknown source.
A while later, Misseger ca back with news that was no less shocking than her first.
Weve captured the traitors. They are a disciple under ister Belud, and one of the serving girls, along with a bunch of other accomplices who had been bribed Misseger began recounting her findings in detail, overturning everything I knew of this world in the process.
Arcane thods? All they needed was a piece of scrap paper an elentary kid used while passing notes
Because every person that enters the lab has to be checked by magical arrays; only such crude thods could work truly, unexpected Sersan quipped, having finally found a window for him to squeeze himself into. Misseger, how did you uncover all this? What admirable efficiency!
Just round up everyone in the lab and have their minds checked magically.
Thats really crude and effective
I see What about ister Belud and Amori? The prince clearly did not expect that answer either.
Im sure they will understand once we explain the situation to them.
Hah, humans. Redleaf chid as well, before returning right away to her tea, munching on a crisp basket, without a care for the annoyed look on Missegers face.
Ignoring that bit of derision, Misseger turned to address her own employers son in a tone that was neither disrespectful nor respectful, Your Highness, is there anything else you wish to ask?
No. Nothing else His smile went crooked, clearly not comfortable with such rough thods. Unfortunately, that only earned him the disappointnt of Andassis the Seventh. A fact which he only just realized.
At the end of the day, the Prince was heir to the throne, and a monarch shouldnt shy away from such decisive thods when necessary. Leaving a loose end often resulted in greater tragedy in the future.
In fact, that last question by Misseger was probably a test, one which the Prince failed. Or at least he showed himself too soft, or average.
Unable to bear with this disappointnt any longer, Andassis the Seventh turned to address , albeit with a beaming smile on his face. Lady Mo Na, how do you feel we should deal with the Viscount and his family?
Their punishnt? Is there a need to ask my opinion?
As the victim, Lady Mo Na naturally has the right to decide their fates.
Oh, is that so? I was a little taken aback by that. Sothing felt off, but I didnt know what. Right, but what was the original punishnt?
Hmm
Andasiss the Seventh glanced in the direction of Misseger, who imdiately got the ssage and picked up the conversation. According to the law, their whole clan is to be executed.
All of them?
You an even the children?
This is a matter of the Royal Familys honor! Misseger answered firmly. If we do not punish them for their misdeeds, then no one would follow the law. Especially since this matter concerns the kingdoms secrets.
Thats true
Even if the punishnt was overly harsh and devoid of human rights, it was a punishnt of this ti. Sothing minor like human lives was nothing compared to the dignity of the royal family.
