480 Chapter 463 Deputy Commander

An inn located near the Imperial Capital.

The inn that Erna would have prepared was for rent.

As I walk toward the back room, I look around.

The inn is completely private.

No one seems to be working for me.

Elna didn't say the name of the person she introduced.

I just wanted you to come to this inn.

"What the hell do you think he is?"

"I have no idea.However, I'm sure it would be a good idea to meet His Highness face-to-face.The inn is paid for, but the knights of the Baron are watching. "

"You mean strict security?"

"No, surveillance is better than security.It's just an arrangement that keeps watch on people's movements. "

"You don't want anyone to see you?And you don't think we need security? "

The inn also has Erna.

Is that why you're here?

No, that's not the only reason.

I'm not asking Erna to guard it, I don't need to protect it.I suppose that's what they're thinking.

"I'm starting to imagine... and suddenly I don't like going to that room."

"I guess we'll have to go now that we're here."

"Do you think there are times in your life when you can run away?"

"If you run, you'll just get caught.Since I was a kid, I've never been able to escape because of Erna. "

That's what Sebastian told me, and I look down.

I know it from experience.

If Elna watches me, I can't escape.

"Absolutely...."

I opened the door whispering that it was a nasty childhood habit.

■ ■ ■

There were three people in the room.

One is Elna, and the remaining two are honey-colored long-haired women and grand men with brown hair and short beards.

They're both people I've seen.

Fewer people in the Empire don't know.

"...!! I was surprised. I thought I was alone."

"I wish I could surprise His Highness.Because the expression is always as expected. "

That's how the woman and the man in the room got up from the chair and thanked me.

The woman's name is Arida von Vittoring.

Captain of the Imperial Knights Guard and First Cavalier.

And the man's name is Theodore Lyles.

Deputy Commander and Second Cavalier of the Imperial Guard.

"What do the Knights of the Guards number one and two want from me?And I can't believe you're using Elna to make contact. "

"Forgive me. I can't stand up in a castle and ask for help."

"Do you have a favor to ask me?I'm sure most things can be solved in this situation. "

This room has the top three Knights of the Kimikaze.Instead of asking me through Erna, you should work with Erna to solve it.

With that in mind, Theodore quietly opened his mouth.

"There were unavoidable circumstances. Please sit down first."

"Does that have anything to do with the three of you not wearing a white cape?"

All three of them, including Elna, took off their white capes.

I mean, I'm not here as a squad leader.

"That's right, I'm the only one you need.Arida and Elna are here to help. "

"And you want the help of the Imperial Prince?If anyone sees you, they'll suspect you of treason. "

When I stabbed her like that, Elna sighed.

"That's why we're meeting in secret."

If I'd known, I wouldn't have come.

"Sure. If it's a trap, it's over."

"You knew and you kept quiet?"

"The safety of the Imperial people is at stake.I can only rely on Al. "

After I whispered my tongue lightly, I had no choice but to sit in the chair.

I can't go back where I left off.

We have no choice but to deal with the problem.

"Let's hear it. I don't think there are any problems in the Imperial Capital that can't be solved by these three."

"To do this, I need to start with my mentor.Do you know about my sword master, Ross Arc? "

"Of course I know the name.He was also a prince's teacher. "

Rothschild is the Count of the Empire.

He was a master of the sword who opened his own Ross Arc stream, and also handled the sword to the Crown Prince.

At that time, I was almost eighty years old, but it is said that the Kintetsu Knight was not the opponent at all.

He was sick and had already died, but Egoreon told him he wouldn't take the bait in the peak of his life.

"My master took me as an orphan and made me his apprentice.But I wasn't the only apprentice. "

I frowned greatly. [M]

Theodore is an orphan and a civilian.Still, as a disciple of Rothschild, I taught him everything and ascended to the rank of deputy commander of the Knights of the Kinsai.

He is the rightful heir to the Los Arcs.

It's a famous story, and I know it.

But I've never heard of another disciple.

"Where is the apprentice now?"

"He disappeared more than ten years ago.Kill the Master and take away the hidden Book of Mystery and the Magic Sword. "

"I see... no, I see. Are you in the Imperial Capital?"

When I asked with a half-laugh, Theodore nodded quietly.

I unexpectedly looked up at the ceiling.

Rothschild didn't have any children.So I went on a journey looking for a talented kid.The genius I found there is Theodore.

But there's another one.

Kill the Master and take the Magic Sword.

"One body was found in the Imperial Capital.He was a famous swordsman, but his wound was characteristic.Probably my apprentice.More than just leaving a body behind in the Imperial Capital, I thought it was a letter of challenge. "

"If you're dealing with such a dangerous man, why don't you catch him with the Knights of the Guard?"

"The Magic Sword held by the apprentice is a substitute for the Master's seal, which is too dangerous.It must be one of the continent's most powerful magic swords.We don't know what kind of damage would happen to the Imperial Capital if we moved a lot. "

"The most powerful magic sword...?In other words, does someone of the same class as the Deputy Commander of the Knights of Kintetsu have a Magic Sword of the Hades class with no name...? "

That's what I'm talking about.

Arida nodded calmly and drank tea without showing any haste.

After all, there are SS class adventurers in the Imperial Capital.

There is also a risk of an outbreak, so I cannot move in a large way.

"So what do you want me to do...?"

"To stand out, the Emperor or Prime Minister cannot move directly.I'll explain everything, but think about the situation and leave it to me and Arida.But I and Arida are on the same side.I owe you two, Lord Erik and Lord Leonard, and you'll be in trouble later. "

"I'm going to need Al's help."

"I'm Leo's brother?"

"But I'm not targeting the Empire directly.Besides, it is suitable material. Originally, we should be able to suppress it by ourselves, but if we confront it with force, the damage could be great.For that reason, I can count on His Highness Arnold's help.You can use these three as tokens.I want you to create a two-on-one situation for the trap.Suppress under favorable circumstances.Aren't you good at it? "

Arida told him so easily.

I unexpectedly stared at Sebastian.

Sebastian murmured with his shoulders shrugged.

Looks like there's a nominee in the back, huh?

Isn't that right? That's what I thought.For the time being, where is the Count Yong? "

"The Baron is visiting the south on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.As you can see, it was Count Yong who recommended me to rely on His Highness Arnold. "

"Why push parents and children into trouble!?"

I accidentally screamed. [M]
