EP.142

Amelia Windsor’s days are gloomy these days.

“Are you okay?”

“yes.”

“It looks like a corpse that just came back to life.”

“yes.”

“...Ame?”

I slapped my one and only precious little brother on the cheek.

At that time, she had no choice but to quickly stop Luid from committing murder, but

Amelia was regretting it. You hit the face of your little precious little brother that you had to protect.

She is disqualified both as a knight and as a sister.

“You must have been quite shocked.”

Charlotte laughed awkwardly.

“But shouldn’t I come out of the corner of the room now? Everyone is waiting. “There is no one to take overall charge.”

“There’s no way a useless person like me could be of any help...”

Amelia, who was depressed, could not hear Charlotte’s words.

“The condition is serious.”

Only then did Charlotte’s expression become serious.

“...I want to be alone.”

“But today I bring good news. “Is it okay if I don’t listen?”

Amelia spoke in a dying voice.

“I’m not worth hearing that...”

“Luid came out of the room. Moreover, I even used a large spell on the defense line to block this wave. “Isn’t now an opportunity to reconcile?”

“Even if I heard that story, I don’t know... Are you Lou Lou?!”

The table where Amelia was sitting fell over.

Struggling, Amelia came in front of Charles and held his hands together.

“Louis came out? “Somewhere!”

“I was so surprised... Yes. “I heard they were looking for you?”

“I’m going right now...!”

Amelia quickly tried to go outside. But he soon stopped acting.

-Stay calm for a while. Surely you wouldn’t just slap your younger brother and get away with it? He is on probation for the time being.

Because Irene’s words came to mind.

Yes. Amelia wasn’t here voluntarily.

Commander and successor of the Knights of Windsor. It was Irene’s ‘order’.

Amelia, who was low in the hierarchy both within the family and within the knights, could not be rejected.

“Me too.”

Charlotte smiled lovingly and stroked Amelia.

“I once had a lot of accidents.”

“Accident...?”

“huh. Before Irene, Victoria was the leader, and I have been there ever since. Even when I was ordered to stay on probation, I would always run away and go out to play.”

Charlotte made a V and placed it on her cheek.

“Because probation is no fun!”

“That’s because... Charlotte is strong.”

“How strong can I be? “Compared to our Excellency the Duke, he’s a pale skin.”

Charlotte whispered.

“Let’s run away. That’s okay. “Vice-captain Lee will guarantee it!”

Amelia’s pupils dilated.

Before being Irene’s younger brother, he was a knight of Windsor.

You cannot disobey your superior’s orders.

but...

“You want to go to Louis and apologize, right? “If too much time passes, our relationship will continue to deteriorate like this for the rest of our lives?”

More than that, I had a strong desire to meet Ruid.

**

Amelia eventually broke the probation order and came out.

The knights of Windsor, who were on watch to observe her restraint order, did so secretly without knowing.

Because I know everything about it. In fact, he even encouraged me and told me to make peace with my younger brother.

Amelia was so grateful that she had tears in her eyes. So, the problem was that Irene was with me while I was looking for Ruid.

“fail.”

Amelia flopped down and sat down.

“I can’t see you when I’m with you.”

“That’s right... If you have Irene’s personality, you won’t be safe. hmm.”

Charlotte said brightly, raising her index finger.

“How about going to Louis’ room?”

“Wouldn’t that be... difficult? “There will be a spell on it.”

Due to this incident, Ruid locked himself in his room and placed a magic on the room that no one could access.

The magic may have been broken now that Louis came out, but-

It was more likely than not. Just because I left the room didn’t mean my anger went away.

“Just this once.”

Charlotte grinned.

“yes?”

“I will release that magic.”

“...Can Charles do it?”

“iced coffee. “What do you think of the vice-captain?”

**

Ruby and Rosalie.

These two are twins and look exactly alike, but their personalities are completely different.

Rosalie is on the serious side, while Ruby is on the light side. I really hate being serious and sometimes joke around.

Therefore, it was not easy to see Ruby becoming serious.

I can’t get over it easily. Above all, Amelia had always been anxious about something.

“Huh huh-”

“I think it’s here.”

“...The Knights already.”

That’s why I ran here as soon as I heard Ruby’s words.

Ruby’s words felt sincere no matter where I looked.

However, a large number of Windsor knights were standing guard in front of the road leading to the underground passage.

Just in case, I approached – and it was like that.

“You cannot enter. sorry.”

“I’m only going in for a moment, so I don’t know.”

“The orders we received are to not allow anyone to enter this place.”

I was in trouble.

Amelia and Charlotte made eye contact.

‘Strange. Why bother doing this?’

Doubt rose in Amelia’s heart.

Something is strange. Why is the vice-captain Charlotte banned from entering, let alone himself?

What on earth are you doing with Ruid?

“Charles. “Do you know what that basement is?”

“...I know it’s the leader’s battle.”

“...A workshop?”

“I asked you the other day because I was curious. They said it was a place to pursue hobbies. Ame doesn’t know? “It’s family.”

Amelia shook her head. That’s Irene’s hobby. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

But since he is an unknown person to begin with. I guess that’s why there is a workshop.

Why is entry prohibited? The suspicion that had arisen for a moment grew endlessly and made Amelia anxious.

“Hmm... I have a bad feeling.”

“I think I should go too.”

Charlotte took a step back with bleary eyes.

“It would be scary if our leader got angry.”

“I will go in alone.”

“Amelia. It’s not possible.”

The knight spoke firmly.

“Sorry Jack.”

Amelia drew her sword. At the same time, the five knights guarding this place also drew their swords.

“sorry.”

“no. There’s no need to be sorry. Because Irene’s orders take priority over mine. But please understand. “I have to go in there.”

“Eight, I don’t know.”

Charlotte also drew her sword and stood next to Amelia.

“All you have to do is give me three months’ worth of salary! “If I don’t have money, Amelia has to feed me.”

“Charles.”

Amelia’s expression brightened slightly.

The knights kept their distance with nervous faces. They know it too. It’s hard to handle even Amelia, let alone Charlotte.

As knights of Windsor, there was no way they did not know Windsor’s power. But still, he cannot disobey Irene’s orders.

An immediate situation.

It felt like it would explode at any moment if someone poked it with a needle.

“What are you doing?”

A calm voice was heard from the basement. It was Irene’s voice. The knights all sheathed their swords with nervous faces.

Amelia and Charlotte also looked at each other’s faces and swallowed dry saliva.

Not long after, Irene showed herself.

While holding Ruid’s hand.

“...!”

Amelia’s pupils dilated. Even Charlotte had a look in her eyes that was hard to believe.

“Lu...i?”

It was definitely the most shocking scene Amelia had ever seen.

There was blood on Ruid’s clothes. On the face and arms. And – in your hands too. Abundantly.

Considering the shape and amount of blood splattered.

Those were traces of someone being randomly stabbed with a knife.

“hi.”

Ruid looked up at Amelia and said softly.

At first glance, the tone was the same as usual.

Ruid’s clear eyes became cloudy. The pupils are empty.

“What on earth have you done?”

Amelia’s legs became weak and she sat down.

Tears flowed down my cheeks without realizing it.

-Ame. Hurry and go before it’s too late. If you miss this period, Ruid may no longer be your cute younger brother.

What Ruby said suddenly came to mind. Amelia’s eyes slowly turned to Irene.

“What’s wrong?Ame.”

Irene was smiling even in this situation.

So brightly.

Petting Ruid as if loving him.
