"Oh, could you not pinch the extra mouth? The Hall."
With that said, Barbara sticks a blade to Laurenz's neck.
"I ask you not to disturb me when I am about to bring my judgment to Her Royal Highness Princess Meer unharmed."
That's why I invited the Meers in so far without wasting any time fighting.
It would be a bad riot, and it would make no sense if Lawrence was even assassinated by her men. Not even in the form of stabbing the seriously wounded to make it easier.
Let them, intact and in a state of health, punish with Meer's hands those who, if nothing, will continue to live normally for decades to come. That makes sense.
"But, well, can't you help it? In order to keep your mouth shut for a while, you might want to pull it out because it seems a little, a lot of blood."
That's how Barbara waves the blade down.
"Father!
As Straina's scream sounded, the murder blade, headed towards Laurenz's shoulder…, stopped on the way.
"Become!?
Barbara stares into amazement. Beside it stood an old man. A man with black butler clothes and a bearded beard, that's...
"You shouldn't, Barbara. Lawrence, work disrespectfully, etc..."
"Oh, Bissett. I thought you ran away exactly, but where were you going?
Barbara grins sarcastically at the old butler who grabs his own arm.
"Bissett......?
Sion, who was watching the exchange, was heard crushing.
"its name...... somewhere"
Meer, who was shaking up the Great Sickle of Conviction......, lays down his sickle with a snack.
Somehow, I thought the flow had changed. Meer is a woman who can read the air.
"Lawrence, I can't thank you enough for blocking your words. It's you who shut up, Barbara."
As he takes the blade from Barbara's hand, Bissett quietly lowers his head.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Lawrence. We've had a little trouble getting rid of the pests."
Then he stares at Barbara as he protects his Lord, and at the three men.
Barbara, who saw how it was, sighed small.
"Hmm...... well, fine. Something I can't help but wreak havoc here. I don't think there's anything more to be said... but please, you can defend yourself in an ugly way at best."
That said, take a step back.
Seeing it, Laurenz exhaled, ho, relieved.
"Yes. Then let me not hesitate to say... Her Royal Highness Princess Meer......"
Lawrence stared at Meer.
Meaa, on the other hand, suddenly the topic flew and was wacky.
But that's it. Exactly what Meer is used to, getting her mind fixed up so that she can come and do whatever she wants.
"I don't know, Duke of Yellowmoon"
Laurenz puts in a hell of a lot of drama, keeping Meer's eyes straight...
"Everything Barbara said earlier is false. Neither have I, nor has my daughter, Strina, ever laid a hand on just one human being."
"... Huh?
To a stunned cumming out, the whole place calms down. It was Barbara's mockery that broke the silence of such a moment.
"I wonder what you're going to say... bullshit. No matter how much, isn't that excuse impossible?
Barbara in a frivolous way. Meer also agreed to this.
- Isn't that just impossible...?
And I thought Meer...... but that's where I notice!
Her loyalist Ludwig...... shut up.
Um, on the previous timeline, I put a scratch on Meer sharper than anyone else, and those fucking glasses all the time..., shut up.
No, he's even watching what happens with a calm face like he has no doubt whatsoever!
- This is..., hmm...
Meer wraps her arms around her open mouth. Prepare for the coming waves while taking care of the situation.
Laurenz, who only glanced at Meer for a moment like that, exhaled small......,
"As you know, my Duke of Yellowmoon family has served to bury in the shadows those who obstruct the development of this empire since the founding of the Tiermoon Empire. In accordance with the covenant with His Majesty the First Emperor…. However, in the last few decades, the Empire has been going through a period of stability. On top of that, His Majesty the Emperor of the modern era also has a mild personality. No assassination request has ever been made..."
"Hmm..."
Meer nodded small.
I see, what Laurenz said, was convincing.
- Whether it's mild or not is subtle, but your father seems only interested in my liking. Besides, as far as I can tell, the Empire has had nothing to do with the war for some time now.
For that matter, there must have been a power struggle between the nobles in the back...... There was no one who could be called an enemy of the state, as the family of the Four Grand Dukes had to move immediately.
"Hehe, isn't it still bad? I was free, so for that matter, I had to work as a snake."
In response to Laurenz's words, Barbara laughed as if she had won.
"To crumble the empire and make this land a cursed land, we buried the wise, and buried those who disobeyed the serpent. If you were responsible for the assassination as the sword of the Empire, then let that sin also or be forgiven. But the fact that I worked as a serpent..."
"I... am a cautious person. Barbara. Unlike Her Royal Highness Princess Meer... I don't have the courage. Assassinations, etc., are very, very scary. So... you guys are deceitful."
"Stupid. Stupid self-defense is superb here, too. What's the point of doing that?
Shaking his head, Barbara said.
"I will not deny that you are a coward. That's why I don't think you'd imitate betraying a snake. Or, if, as it is today, there are those who oppose the serpent, let it not be a reason for the serpent not to speak. But today's events were all born because the Empire's wisdom, the Empress Meer, was there. unreasonable things, such as keeping the subject of the assassination alive in anticipation of such a situation"
"It doesn't even look like it. Barbara, if you think about it a little, you'll see. The serpent ordered me to assassinate him, which means he's in the way for the serpent."
Lawrence speaks out in a strong tone.
"If it returns the back...... can you say those who are beneficial in fighting snakes? As my companions, they may fly anti-flags against snakes together. For the future, there will be plenty of sense in keeping it alive"
Barbara laughed, as she mocked Laurenz.
"Still, it's impossible. All your subordinates around you are our breathtaking ones. In recent years, the Wind Raven, no, White Raven people, who had a cooperative relationship with Yellow Moon, were also in the possession of Gem. It's impossible for you to hide from us and act. You think you did such a big thing on your own? You said you made the target look dead and let him escape somewhere safe? How could you be incompetent and half-baked?
With a sharp clasp, Laurenz shrugged her shoulders, powerless.
"Yeah, you're right. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength. Without the power to defy you, I couldn't have left my daughter without grieving. I regret it..."
So cut the words, and then, Laurenz, stared at Barbara with a serene face.
"But you overlooked it. Him..., about Bissett."
It was then. Ludwig opened his mouth in tones like, I remember.
"With that said, Your Highness Zion..., I totally forgot to tell you about your question"
"Hmm? What I asked, is..."
"This is something you asked me about before through you, Mia. Iason, Lucas, Max, Tanacis...... and Bissett"
When he heard the line of names, Theon opened his eyes slightly.
"... No way"
Monica, who was nearby, nods and shows at Scion, who looks surprised.
"Yes...... That one, Lord Bissett, once belonged to the Wind Raven... He's a legend who built a Sunkrand intelligence network within the Empire."
To the words, Bissett shook his head with a slightly troubled face.
"It's an exaggerated assessment. And it was a long time ago."
