Leon, who up until now had been sleeping quietly next to , spoke in spite of the presence of my uncle.

"C, ca, ca the cat spoke ......? No, it's a holy beast. Why would it be strange if it spoke human language?"

My uncle was confused, still pointing at Leon.

"How much longer will you continue pointing at ? What a rude human being."

Leon doesn't usually say things like, "What a rude human being," could this be an attempt to intimidate him?

"Oh no, pardon . I have never encountered a talking holy beast before."

My uncle dropped the finger that was pointing at Leon and began to fiddle around with his monocle. Leon's words must have shaken him up. I'm curious to see how he'll react when he finds out that Leon is a god.

"So, Neko-kun. What exactly do you an when you said that they should tell ?"

(TL: Neko ans cat/kitty)

"It's not Neko-kun. It's Leon."

Leon was wagging his tail in my lap. The fur tickled my face.

"It's just like I said. Even after knowing about Rio's situation, can you still stand up for the Prince kid?"

"...... Rio, I want you to tell ."

My uncle gave a look as if he was pinning his hopes on .

"But ...... this might not be a story that can be so easily accepted.'

"Your family knows about the situation, right? I am open to what my lovely niece has to say. Now, please, tell ."

I began to tell my story. I began talking about how I had gone back in ti ....... Just like I did with the gods and my family.

Once I finished telling my story, my uncle was on his knees, crying.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Rio! I know I can't ask for your forgiveness, but please allow to apologize again."

"Uncle! Please raise your head. I still can't forgive you for this engagent, but in my previous life, my uncle worked hard to gather evidence of my innocence. Despite his position as Pri Minister, he still did it for ......."

I rose and touched my uncle's shoulder.

As soon as my uncle looked up, I heard a distinctive ringing sound. My mother had rung the bell on top of the table. After a few monts, Marie, who had been waiting outside the reception room, entered the room.

"Mother?"

"For now, let's start afresh. Marie, can I have so tea? The best tea leaves."

"Yes, ma'am."

Marie made another pot of tea, and we enjoyed the aroma as we talked with my uncle.

"I was thinking of resigning my position as Pri Minister before His Majesty the King asked for my services. But after hearing Rio's story, I don't think I can resign just yet."

My uncle was about to resign his position as Pri Minister. He must have been aware of the gravity of his cri.

However, even though he had bent the laws of the country, he still deserved recognition for his accomplishnts to date. Shouldn't he be given a house arrest based on the extenuating circumstances?

"But the Campbells..."

"What are the Campbells doing? Brother-in-law?"

My uncle put his cup on the table and crossed his arms.

"You are aware that the Campbells have extensive business interests, do you not?"

"Yes," replied my father, "I heard that they do business with faraway countries."

"Recently, they have imported so illegal drugs. They said it was for dical purposes, so we checked it very carefully and issued a permit......."

I was startled to hear the word "drugs."

"Uncle, what kind of drug is it?"

"Don't worry, it's no Blue Snow Rose, Rio. It is said to relieve pain, but it has the side effect of causing hallucinations if taken in excess. It is a very dangerous drug. I've placed restrictions on its sale to non-dical personnel."

There are heavy penalties for breaking the restrictions. It's not only the Campbells but also for the rchants who import the drug as well.

"I think we should keep an eye on Baron Campbell's movents. The Pri Minister's Office should also keep a close eye on them."

On the way ho, my uncle told this.

"Rio, if the royal family asks you to get engaged, I promise that I will use any ans necessary to stop them."

"Uncle ......"

Leon smiled softly.

"It's good to have an ally, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. It is reassuring to have Uncle on our side."

I comnted, watching the owl-emblazoned carriage disappear into the evening sunset.
