119.
I knew that even if I got angry, the situation would not change. Rather, it would be fortunate if nothing bad happened to Count Mantel. So Rostel calmly followed Count ntel.
“You must only move as you have been taught.”
Rostel nodded at Count Mantel’s warning. If you stay calm, your surroundings will look elsewhere. Rostel seed to think there was no need to worry. Well, how easy would it feel for a child who has not learned anything?
Even though I was ignored, I wasn’t angry.
‘Because I’m not alone today.’
Rostel carefully raised his hand and touched his shoulder. Then his fingertips touched a soft little body. It was Pong. Fong, who had heard that she was afraid to go alone, decided to go with her today.
[Because you are the only one who can see
here.]
Rostel smiled shyly at Fong’s words.
“I’m moving.”
At that ti, Luus spoke to Rostel. Rostell was surprised, but he tried not to show it. And they climbed into the carriage as they pushed.
Looking at the clothes worn by Count Mantel, who was sitting across from , I saw that he was very extravagant. It seed as if the positions of the two were reversed. The carriage did not take long to arrive at its destination. Even there, Rostel moved calmly like a clam being washed away by the waves.
The conference room was very large, and there was a desk of a size I had never seen before. There were several people sitting there, all of whom I had never seen before. Half of them gave Rostel a sharp look. I feel like I’m looking at the rest with curiosity.
Count Mantel, seeing him, clicked his tongue and said.
“You ca too early.”
Usually, the higher the rank, the later the person arrives. However, even though they were part of the prince’s party, they arrived early. It was Luus who made the decision to move as early as participating in the first eting. Count Mantel was displeased with that. But what can you do? I already arrived.
Count Mantel moved with a displeased look on his face.
“Prince, you need to move too.”
Luers led Rostel. Rostel moved with great nervousness. If it weren’t for Pong, I might have run out of here.
“You can sit here.”
Next to the chair in front of the desk, that was Rostel’s seat. I looked to see if others were sitting as well, but Count Mantel was sitting a little further away.
“it’s okay. Just do what you normally do. “I will be nearby.”
Luus soothed him and then walked away.
‘scared.’
Rostel wrinkled the hem of his clothes without realizing it. At that ti, Pong’s voice was heard.
[are you okay.]
What I said was the sa as Luus’s, but my mind was at peace. Rostel nodded her head slightly and heard Fong chattering.
Every word I spoke was aningless, but as I listened to it, I felt relieved. Only then did I have the ti to look at the space I was in with peace of mind. Rostel raised her head and looked around cautiously.
Then I noticed two birds sitting calmly on the large chandelier hanging from the center of the ceiling. They both looked exactly like Pong, but they were different sizes. One was slightly smaller than Pong, and the other looked twice as big as Pong.
[My friend. Ping and pop.]
When Fong introduced the birds, they nodded as if they had heard him.
“Are they spirits too?”
I asked with my voice as low as possible, and Fong answered yes. anwhile, the number of people in the conference room was increasing. Now there were only three empty seats.
“Everyone got together well?”
The first person to enter was a tall man.
‘Archduke Graham.’
I recognized it right away thanks to the portrait Luus showed
in advance. I heard that he, like Rostel, was of royal blood, is the current crown prince’s guardian, and is a leading swordsman.
“He is a scary person. “He is a person who can do anything, so you have to be careful when dealing with him.”
Luus warned several tis. Rostel cringed without even realizing it. The person who ca in next had a different feeling from Archduke Graham.
‘Lord Devine.’
That person also knows Rostel. He was also a close friend whom Fong spoke to frequently.
[It’s Lihit, Lihit!]
Even now, an excited Pong was lightly stamping his foot on Rostel’s shoulder. The eyes of Ping and Pang, who were on the chandelier, also turned to him.
Lord Devine and Richt sat right next to Rostel. When our eyes et, he smiles. Although he has rather sharp eyes, he is a really pretty person. Moreover, he was clearly kind, given his experience. But Luers said otherwise.
“Lord Devine is just as dangerous as Archduke Graham. I enjoy causing pain to others. They say he doesn’t look like that now, but he is an unreliable person. “He is not trustworthy, so he is not suitable to do anything with.”
Luers bitterly told Richt’s gossip. He was often said to be a traitor.
‘But he’s Pong’s friend.’
It didn’t seem like Fong’s friend was a bad person. anwhile, the crown prince entered for the last ti. Rostel’s only brother. The curly red-blonde hair and bright blue eyes are impressive. He seed strong, unlike his small and an self.
It was said that he was good at running state affairs and had excellent swordsmanship. It was definitely different from Rostel.
Rostel could not bear to make eye contact with Theodore. He said hello, but his eyes were looking down at the floor the whole ti. Luus was frustrated when he saw him, but Rostel didn’t know.
“Everyone is gathered. “The eting begins.”
The content that followed was difficult for Rostel to understand. He didn’t know anything, so he just twitched his fingers. I wish I could just talk freely with Pong. The atmosphere was so solemn that I felt like I would get caught if I talked secretly.
“Let’s finish the first item on the agenda, Pavilon Territory, like this. Support will be sent within a month. “Do your best to avoid any disruption to the schedule.”
The way he spoke confidently seed cool. Rostel glanced sideways, and Theodore opened his mouth again.
“Let’s begin the next agenda. It’s about Count Mantel. “I recently received a tip about the unreasonable things he did.”
As Theodore continued, Count ntek stood up with an embarrassed expression.
“majesty! “What are you talking about?”
“I think you know that too.”
“I don’t know. “What have I done that you’re putting it on the agenda?”
“Let’s talk about that now. Let them hear the praises of Grael.”
As soon as those words were out, the door to the conference room opened, and two knights and a man ca in. Although it was my first ti seeing the man’s face, he looked strangely familiar.
‘Who does it look like?’
Rostel tilted his head and then thought of soone who looked similar to him.
‘Count Mantel!’
It looked a lot like him. When she realized that, she looked surprised, and Fong, who ca down from her shoulder to the desk, said,
[He is the son of Count Mantell. He is the second son.]
He is the second son. I saw his eldest son occasionally, but I never saw his second son. But why did that person suddenly appear? When Luus glanced back, his expression was dark.
“Your Majesty the Great Crown Prince. “I take this opportunity today to accuse my father of his sins.”
“What cri are you accusing
of? you you! Grael! No, Your Majesty! You don’t need to listen to that guy. He is a pathetic guy who enjoys drinking and gambling! “It’s clear that the information you know is false!”
Count Mantel belittled Grael rcilessly. The more it happened, the more Grael’s expression beca distorted.
“Don’t raise your voice in the conference room. “Can’t you hear other people’s voices?”
Theodore warned Count ntel, who was glowing. Still, Count Mantel had no intention of stopping. Archduke Graham stopped him from opening his mouth again.
“Can’t you hear His Highness the Crown Prince’s words?”
He just said that, but Count Mantel kept his mouth shut and his shoulders trembled.
[I have to live. It was only sent to Count Mantell.]
Fong explained with an interested expression. To live? what is that? It was a very difficult explanation for Rostel. Pong seed to have realized that as well and added an additional explanation.
[If you continue to train your sword or anything else, you will learn how to survive. To be exact, it’s like the will to kill people. It becos amazing when you can manipulate it freely. It’s scary to be hit from the front.]
It was a sowhat clumsy explanation, but Rostel understood.
‘So, Archduke Graham is amazing.’
anwhile, it appears that Count Mantel has decided to change course. He began to complain in a very pitiful voice.
“I raised my son wrong. We will provide thorough education to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. So please allow
to speak to Grael.”
Then Richt, who had been quiet the whole ti, opened his mouth.
“Aren’t we still talking about it? “I keep listening to voices I don’t want to hear, so what more are you asking
to do here?”
Even though the words were spoken lazily, everyone else was nervous.
