Considerations at the study
“... Then.. it's those who oppose the Vortic family, right?"
I mutter putting together my idea.
"Their aim based on the rumors may be I ... or Dida"
"Dida, is highly probable, won’t it be very hard to subsist for the Vortic Family even if they win, if they oppose you?"
"Surely, yes, but maybe they will try to damage me with rumors... No, I see ..."
"Yes, perhaps it is that someone is trying to use this case, and the lady was also worried about it before, that is why you strengthened the vigilance on Dorsen."
Hearing the words of Dean, I let out a bitter smile.
As I think about it, I open my mouth again.
"I don’t know exactly what the Vortic Family's number II is thinking about when working with other hostile organizations, but he is doing everything with the name of the Vortic Family, perhaps the goods they seized are hidden at Tick family’s place - one of the hostile organizations he manages. Whether the Vortic Family itself is my friend or my foe is not a mystery though ... However, it needs to be investigated thoroughly... "
"Perhaps they don't want to stand out against the Duke of Armelia and if they can, they want to quickly spit out the items seized and keep it secret?"
"I wish they could do it quickly"
"Even within the Vortic family, whose is in which faction currently remains unclear. We are not grasping enough information.."
"Oh, I see, the investigation network itself is confused ... or ... someone is messing with it...?"
"Well, at this point it's a blunder if originally the mastermind is the number I of the Vortic family."
"... Dean, bring a map"
To quiet my mind that is in a hurry to solve everything, I inhale deeply and exhale.
"...... But even if I don't move the escort team, if Dorsen is moving as it is, Dida is dangerous after all because he is a knight that is fast to apply what he thinks as justice without thinking or analyzing anything. ...... He has interfered with problems in other territories, so I don't want to get a headache thinking about it, but ... he is going to do it exactly like we fear "
A knight is the guardian of royalty and the royal city at last.
Even if you have that authority, since the nobility's younger sons join the knights, if a knight interfere with a problem of another territory, it will be thought as interfering on behalf of the parents’ interest, so actively they won't.
More than anything, it is the territory of the military to intervene and not them.
However, if it is Dorsen, he will thrust his neck thoroughly without thinking.
If nothing changed and he is still the same as when I was driven out of school ... probably he will do it without thinking about the aftermaths of his actions.
"Here it is ... ... please."
Roughly, I see a map that Dean brought me.
At the same time, I checked the information I have myself and organize it.
"Dean, do you know where is the home of the Vortic family?"
"... Why?"
" Somehow ... I wonder if I can go.."
While asking, I noticed that his expression was stiff rather than serious, and I shrugged my shoulders.
"...... I didn't mean anything in particular, maybe you knew it in this survey, or maybe you had a broad network of connections as a man of a merchant's house. In any case, you know the number I of the Vortic family and you thought that there was an unbelievable blunder with their involvement in this case? "
"A while ago ..."
"... but half of it is nothing more than intuition though."
I laughed and then he also laughed but in a troubled way.
"Yes, I know, of course it does not relate to the organization, but I don't know all the members so I'm not sure."
"You really are a mysterious person"
I turned my eyes and muttered in a whisper.
"Do you think that you can't trust me?"
He gives me a gaze while asking.
Not only the words but also his gaze seemed to ask my true sentiments.
"I trust you, I may be unqualified as an acting lord for that, though"
I give a bitter smile.
Sitting down, he crouches as I come closer and he gazes at me.
We weren’t that far from each other.
In reaction to that, my heart beats faster.
Oh, no. In such a time, be conscious! I reprimand myself.
"You are not unqualified"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, please use me, as a man, I swear to give you everything, I will be of help."
"... Well, I was right then, right?"
I laughed at the word he told me to play a bit.
"Then, Dean: lend me your strength"
"As you say.. Miss, what do you want to do first?"
"I would like to meet the Vortic Family No. 1. Do you have a way to go right now and meet him?"
"If you go to their citadel, probably"
"Then, Dean ... Please take me. I have to go out soon if I want to help Dida."
Is his situation that bad ?
"Yeah, even while doing this, the crisis may be approaching Dida, maybe the war is starting ... Why are you hesitating to take me there?"
Besides, it may be possible to contact the Tick family too which was one of the objectives.
"I am afraid, but milady"
"What is it?"
"Let's change to something more easy to move in"
