You knew about this?
At the corner of the camp, Zeld asked the private soldier of the Duke Balratona Household who had co all the way to Manrinia with them, in an incredulous voice.
Yes, well
The Next Family Head was speechless at the awkward affirmation and returned a heavy sigh.
Since when has my father associated with them?
It seems its been from about 10 years ago.
The one who answered was the hired Private Commander who ca along.
10 years ago It was the year that the Second Prince of Rulan Kingdom and the Daughter and the Son of a Noble Family went on an exchange with other countries, right?
Yes, thats it. It seems that the Second Prince was actually a mber of The Dipterous Sword.
Huh? That child was? No, wait. Before that, he was a Prince and Nobles child, wasnt he?
Apparently, all, but the Second Prince lied about their social status. Also, it seems that so children of the sa age belong to the stateless guild, The Dipterous Sword, and that there are no age limits in entering the guild.
I seeso, the Second Prince is really a Guild mber?
Yes, that is correct. Well, we dont know the circumstances surrounding it either. However, I am certain that our relationship with The Dipterous Sword was established 10 years ago.
Then, from that ti on, Syl often went to Rulan Kingdom
It was probably to deepen relations with The Dipterous Sword.
Since when have you known?
8 years ago, since Heine-sama and Famiras-sama ca to visit when they entered the country.
So, the only ones who didnt know were Tedla and I
I think the servants didnt know either. So of them have connections with other aristocrats and royal families, and soon after, Rulan Kingdom declared war, all of the servants were fired. Only the Heinhildt family who have served the Balratona Duke Household for generations have been inford.
Heinhildt familyso Eugene knew as well?
The Heinhildt family has been serving the Balratona Duke Household for generations.
The current Head, Galdts butler is the head of the Heinhildt Family, while the wife is the head maid, and the oldest son, Eugene, was Syltinas attendant, but, after she was exiled, he beca Zelds attendant instead.
If the Heinhildt family was inford, then naturally, Eugene would have also been inford, but that Eugene never said anything to .
The man dispels the suspicion that Zeld, who muttered staggeringly, held about his own attendant about keeping secrets from him.
I wonder if Eugene-sama was not inford. We have also been told to not say anything and to keep our mouths shut around Your Grace, Tedla-sama, and Eugene.
Why
I an, didnt you betray Syltina-san?
Zelds breath hitched as that brief comnt was uttered naturally.
Its as the Witch of Foresight said. That Zeld-sama and Tedla-sama, and even Eugene-sama will betray Syltina-sama in the future. Thats why it was better to keep mum about our cooperation with The Dipterous Sword. If I think about it now, it would have been 2 years ago. And, then, you really betrayed Syltina-sama.
The voice of the man, who had been softly recounting the events up to that point, suddenly turned cold and dropped the temperature by a couple of degrees.
That person, why in the since when have you been cooperating with them? This is treason to the country, you know?
The country, huh we serve the Duke Balratona Household. If our Master is betrayed, then, we will betray even the Royal Family.
Why would you go that far
We owe a debt to Galdt-sama and Syltina-sama. Even if we lay our whole lives for them, we still cannot repay our debt.
Debt?
Each and every one of us was picked up by Galdt-sama and Syltina-sama.
Picked up?
The old people were picked by Galdt-sama. The young n and I were gathered by Syltina-sama. There are various reasons behind it, but I received a life. In the first place, the mbers of the previous Duke Balratona Households private soldiers consisted of n like us who were picked up as well. I think those kinds of people tend to place more faith in their Masters.
I havent heard of such a thing
I guess. Its not like Syltina-sama was taught by Galdt-sama either, but, she seed to have thought of it on her own. Thats why the soldiers who Syltina-sama have originally gathered are Syltina-samas private soldiers. But now, we are working as Duke Balratona Houses private soldiers as Syltina-sama ordered us to beco Private Soldiers of the Duke Balratona Household prior to her exile 2 years ago.
Thats why the nation didnt matter.
Smiling, the man added, if our Master is safe, then that is all we need.
Zeld-sama, your decision, please. We have permission from Galdt-sama and Syltina-sama to act accordingly depending on your choice.
Please give your firm decision.
It was said in a way that was implied.
Will you betray the country, or will you die here?
I will yield to Father and Syl.
It was at this ti that Zeld understood.
This country had crossed the people that they definitely should not have made enemies of.
Excellent choice.
The mood of the smiling man was very similar to the man who said earlier that he did not intend to forgive them.
