I transferred to a room a little further away from where Christa and the others are hiding in. There, I undo the illusion and revert to the appearance of Arnold.
Just like that, I quickly open up a secret passage. This passage will lead to where Christa is.
I ran through the passage and ca out inside the closet in the room they are hiding in.
Then
Dufufufu..three little girls.a dreamy little girl, an energetic little girl, and Lolifu!! Precious! So Precious! I feel like anything is possible for !
While muttering such a thing, a pervert is peeping at Christa and the girls from inside the closet.
Moreover, he is doing pushup for so reason.
I dont know whether because he is tired or excited but he is panting heavily.
For the ti being, he looked so disgusting so I just stepped on him.
Oi, what are you doing ?
UGH!? Th, that voice, Arnold!? What are you intending to do, stepping on your brother in a situation like this!? I dont rember raising such a child you know!
I dont recall being raised by you though. Also, Trau-niisan, I stepped on you exactly because we are in an ergency you know. My brother is about to commit a cri after all.
YES! Gordon just started a rebellion! We have to stop him!
No, I didnt an Gordon alone. You were about to commit a cri too Trau-niisan.
M, too!? Impossible! Which part of that look guilty!?
Trau-niisan shouted so as if my accusation was unthinkable for him.
In response, I shouted back without intending to lose to him.
EVERY PART! FROM HEAD TO TOES, NO MATTER WHERE I LOOK AT YOU, YOU ARE GUILTY!
EVERY PART!? YOU INTEND TO DENY MY WHOLE EXISTENCE!? IS IT A CRI TO LOOK AT LITTLE GIRLS!?
OBVIOUSLY! WERENT YOU JUST PANTING WHILE LOOKING AT THEM!
IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DOING PUSHUPS!
THEN WHY WERE YOU DOING PUSHUPS INSIDE A CLOSET IN THE FIRST PLACE?
OBVIOUSLY, TO PROTECT THE GIRLS IN CASE OF ERGENCY! HOLDING A SWORD FOR A LONG TI IS TIRING YOU KNOW!
AND YOU JUST STARTED TRAINING NOW!? ITS ALREADY TOO LATE!
NOTHING IS TOO LATE FOR !
Saying so, Trau-niisan resud his pushups.
I think that would just tire him out though. You cant just conjure up your muscles right.
When I thought so, the closet was opened.
It was Christa.
Trau-aniue, noisy.
M, My deepest apology..Miss Christa.B, But its Arnolds fault.
Dont bla others. If Aniue starts yelling Wendy will be afraid so be quiet.
Yes.Im sorryAhh, I was able to talk to Miss Christa! FuFun! Are you envious of now? Arnold!
The hierarchy here is completely clear.
After directing a gaze filled with pity at Trau-niisan, Christa pulled on my arm.
Al-niisama, e here.
Th, Then, too
Trau-aniue just stays there. Wendy is scared of you.
Yes.
Christa said so and Trau-niisan obediently shut the closet door.
For Christa to tell him not to approach them, he must have done sothing huh.
While thinking so, I was guided to the center of the room.
There, Wendy and Rita are having a small tea party with tea and pastries.
Al-nii! Welco!
I am glad that you are safe. Your Highness.
Rita cheerfully greeted as usual while Wendy modestly bowed at .
Well..this place is so peaceful.
Totally different from Ruperts side.
Well, the three here had their fair share of danger after all.
Both Christa and Ritas lives had been endangered before and Wendy was forced to cooperate with the Dark Elves just until recently.
Compared to that, I guess they can still deal with this level of situation.
Im glad that you three are safe. Was it Christa who helped Wendy-dono?
Unshe will get caught if she stays in her room.
I am truly sorry.because of , your plan had gone awry.
Dont mind it. It is because of Wendys illusion that we managed to hide so far after all.
Christa said so and smiled at Wendy.
Even so, this is Christa who is always expressionless that we are talking about.
I am glad that she can smile now but it seems that Wendy is that important of a friend to Christa.
Since they are friends who shared a secret with each other, their relationship might be similar to mine and Finne.
Al-nii, hows the castle?
The throne room is still under the Knight Commanders protection. Other than that place, the castle is mostly overrun with soldiers. There are still only a few on the upper floors but I think they will push up soon.
The Rainbow Celestial Jewels which is their aim is inside the throne room.
If Gordon did not prepare any jewel in advance, it will be essential for him to take control of the throne room.
In case he prepared one, it ans that there are three Rainbow Celestial Jewels that he still cant get his hands on.
If he thinks about a counterasure for the holy sword, Gordons goal would be to have four of them in his hands. Thats why he will aim to get one of the remaining three.
Two are inside the throne room and even I dont even know where the last one is.
This is the Pri Minister we are talking about, he must have already moved them away from where it was originally stored.
It would be hidden in a place that could not be easily found. In the end, the most certain way would be taking the ones in the throne room.
But since there is one more hidden in the castle, if they can find it, they will not have to deal with Alida.
Thats why they will not pour all their effort into the throne room alone. No, they cant.
Such a nasty plan.
The reason why the enemy cant gather their forces in one place and currently had to disperse all over the castle was probably that their thought could be read from the start. All that left is to minimize the damage in case there is a traitor among their ranks.
Well, the Pri Minister probably didnt place that much importance on that asure. He did place most of the jewels under the trusty captains of the Imperial Knight Order after all.
The problem is that the trusty captains turned out to be traitors.
Trau-niisan. Can you hear ?
What is it? I am busy doing push ups though?
Then please keep doing that and listen. Is there any rit for an Imperial Knight Captain to turn to Gordons side?
Almost none at all. If a captain truly betrayed us then it is safe to assu that the captain bears a heavy grudge against Father. Or perhaps, they had so circumstances that forced them to do so.
So they will not pledge their allegiance to Gordon?
What would they do under Gordon who heavily relies on the army? If they want to beco successful in the army then they wouldnt beco an imperial knight in the first place. Moreover, Gordons rebellion is too risky. Whether it succeeds or not, the chance is only fifty-fifty.
Right. Even if they can defeat Father, the Lords of each territory will never recognize his claim.
Correct. The Lords would favor different princes or princesses to beco their emperor. The only people who can compete with Gordon are only Leonard or Eric. However, Leonard is currently outside the capital. Since he is not at the Emperors side in a crisis, he will be seen as unreliable instead.
It seems that Trau-niisans thought is the sa as mine.
In that case, it is safe to assu that soone is using the flashiness of Gordons rebellion to lurk in the dark.
I get a feeling that that person is trying to stir up the situation.
I can clearly see the dark threads that are manipulating matters from behind the scenes but I cant trace it back to the real mastermind.
No matter what I do, all I have are only speculations. Moreover, I do not have ti to carefully look into it in the first place.
After all, we have to deal with Gordon first.
So he provided a good cover huh, that Gordon.
I do think so. I dont know what the person himself is thinking though.
It seems that the mastermind doesnt care even if we find out.
After all, he made it so that everyone thinks that it is impossible for him to manipulate the situation so far.
When I thought so, the soldiers shout began to echo outside.
Apparently, our long-awaited escorts have arrived.
Everyone, get ready to move. Trau-niisan, I think theyve arrived.
It seems so.
Saying so, Trau-niisan ca out of the closet covered in sweat.
Seeing that Wendy let out a short scream and went to hide behind Rita.
Th, that will leave a scar.
Its Trau-aniues fault. Its because you suddenly started interrogating Wendy.
You did that?
I couldnt control myself when I saw Lolifu so.I blanked out a little.
Trau-niisan seems to regret his actions.
Seriously, if he isnt like this then he would be considered a good person.
Christa said that it was because of Wendys illusion that they went unnoticed but the fact that this is an inconspicuous room also played a part.
It was probably Trau-niisan who chose this room.
Although it was sothing that can easily be overlooked, he did a good job.
Trau-aniue, slly.
GAN! My own sister told that I am slly!?
Christa has no rcy on Trau-niisan.
Lize-aneue also instructed her to call him aniue instead of nii-sama as well.
In a sense, the person that Lize-aneue is most on guard against is Trau-niisan.
Trau-niisan who turned deeply depressed shifted his gaze toward the door.
He then speaks in a dignified voice.
You may enter. Wings of my brother.
With permission given, the door was opened.
