42 Episode 40: Maid of Leap Part 3

"It's just, Mr. Keithwood, right?

"I didn't know you remembered, it was an honor. Of Her Royal Highness Princess Meer, Anne."

Keithwood turned his attention to Riola, not breaking Nico's grin.

"So, your lady belongs to the Empire?

"Oh, yes, it is. Er, the maid of Miss Bergmei Rudolphon..."

"It's Riola Rule. Please, help me, Tiona."

Keithwood, after asking the circumstances, wraps his arms around and snaps.

"Hmm, two watchmen? How many are in there?

"I don't know, it is. But it was the four of us who locked us up. men and women, was"

"So did you notice that you escaped and have any lookouts inside, or did you leave this place with two men? Well, seeing as the ladies are in trouble, if you leave them alone, Your Highness Zion will piss you off. Let me help you."

"Is it true? Please, I will!

"But what do you do?

I was attracted, and I thought there was some kind of operation in that gap... or something like that Anne...

"What, I take the Lady of Reishi's nobility back from the hands of the wicked? That's all."

Saying so in a casual tone, Keithwood had a fierce grin.

What happened after that was too soon and Anne could only look at it with a grudge.

Keithwood slammed his knee into the belly of a nearby man, who ran to watch without a sound. That way, I grab the other arm that I couldn't move by surprise and throw it straight down to the floor.

It was between blinking one thing.

"Um..., if you're a male servant, can we all do that?

Keithwood shrugged his shoulder with a bitter laugh at Anne, who asked so flashly.

"Well, there's a lot going on in my case. Anyway, it's like a piece of justice you're serving."

While doing so, Riola hurries to unlock it rather than rush to the door.

"Dear Tiona! It's okay, is it!?

"Riola? Were you safe?

Tiona, who came out of the inside, fortunately did not look injured.

"You're safe and above all. Rudolphones."

"Are you..., Mia's?

When I got back to my room, I didn't have a dress.

According to Tiona, when she and Riola walked into the room, they had already been vandalized inside the room and left a letter.

There was a message written that if you want your dress back, come to the north tower of the school building.

"Oh no..., who the hell would do this..."

"Probably not someone you or His Royal Highness Meer know?

"? What does that mean?

"Look, this. There was an outside watch."

What was in Keithwood's hands was a handkerchief with the seal of the Tiermoon Empire on it, without a scratch.

"No way......"

"Oh, maybe they're from the empire aristocracy."

That was unexpected for Anne. I thought it was the nobility that was teasing Tiona and the others the other day.

"Don't go to the party because it puts the Imperial nobility to shame, I was told"

Not to be angry, just a little lonely......, Tiona offered what she was about to hold.

It was a dress torn to pieces.

"... terrible"

"Even so, even though it's for the dress, isn't it impotent? I can't believe I just came to this place with women."

Just a little, his eyes narrowed, and Keithwood complained. In contrast, Tiona smiles slightly and shakes her head.

"Because we don't have enough dresses at home to prepare"

That's how I sigh like I gave up.

"So, Riola, you don't have to be impotent... you didn't have to be in such a hurry"

"Dear Tiona..."

Riola, staring at Tiona, had her lips tiny and smug.

Anne knew exactly how it felt.

If I had been in the same position......, if it had been Meer who was trapped, I would surely have been too careless to wait.

Open the flat hand that was gently gripping.

There was the money entrusted to me by Meer.

"Mr. Riola, go to the city store and buy me a dress. Money is now..."

No hesitation, give Riola the money.

"This, is...?

"This is what I kept from you, Meer."

Meer would surely do the same......, the certainty in Anne will not shake.

"In the meantime, Tiona, let's fix your makeup. My eye makeup is crumbling with tears."

That's how Keithwood stopped Anne from trying to move.

"Are you sure? May I help you, Your Highness's maid?

"? What does that mean?

"His Highness Meer is the one who reigns at the apex of the Imperial aristocracy. If it was the same Imperial nobleman who trapped Count Tiona, could that possibly be the intention of His Highness Meer?

"... to?
