At any rate, why did Lyra collapse in a place like this?
“Why was Lyra in this place?”
“Right. I’m curious about that as well. Did you have any injuries?”
“No. I didn’t seem to have any injuries.”
『I also don’t remember clearly as to why I collapsed in this place. Only that memory is unclear as if it’s surrounded by a haze. 』
I heard a perplexed voice.
It seemed that Lyra also can’t remember why she collapsed in that place.
I wonder if she was on a dangerous mission since she was previously an assassin.
Is that why she collapsed there…?
I don’t think that she collapsed because she was too hungry.
“By the way, you met Lord Edward, who was covered in blood, after that, right.”
『Yes. At that time, I was surprised that I could use a healing power.』
I never thought I would meet Lord Edward, who was full of blood, there.
If it was the usual me, I would have been crying when I saw Lord Edward covered in blood.
But, I was assimilated into Lyra’s consciousness.
That’s why, even when I saw Lord Edward covered in blood, I was still able to act calmly and deal with the situation.
And also, although Lyra couldn’t use it, because I was assimilated into Lyra, I was able to use healing magic.
Maybe it was because I and Lyra were together that we were able to help Lord Edward.
I think it’ll be easier to get various information about His Highness Naaotto if we went inside the royal castle.
However, it is also possible to search for information on His Highness Naaotto in the royal capital.
We might be able to find out why he tried to assassinate Lord Edward.
Besides, it is a high hurdle to sneak into the royal castle that we have never been to, so for now, we have decided to collect information in the royal capital.
The royal capital of the Kingdom of Yakumo was as prosperous as the imperial capital of the Zraton Great Empire.
The people’s faces are also full of expectations.
All the items for sale are also reasonable.
The public order of the Yakumo Kingdom seemed to be quite good.
However, considering Lyra’s personal history, this might all just be a pretense.
I’m sure there are still more places like the slums inside the royal capital.
For the time being, I decided to go to a nearby restaurant.
“Actually, I think that we can gather more information in the inn’s cafeteria, but I stopped because Rachel is so elegant that she would definitely stand out.”
“I’m sorry for my fault.”
“Well, let’s eat!”
We decided to eat at the restaurant.
It’s a high-quality restaurant with the appropriate atmosphere. Yuki said that I don’t have to worry about the cost, but is that really okay?
All the food we casually ordered was delicious.
“I’m glad we chose this place.”
“That’s true, it was delicious. Haa. At any rate, I wonder where our father went to.”
After finishing the meal, I started talking with Yuki in the restaurant.
Suddenly, Yuki started talking about father and I was a little surprised.
However, I soon realized that she was only pretending and I continued the conversation with Yuki.
“I wonder if father got involved in an incident.”
“Rachel, don’t say anything ominous, but I’m worried because we suddenly lost contact with him.”
“Really. The last contact we got was from the royal capital a few months ago. I wonder where father is.”
I continued talking with Yuki. We connected the story to make it as if our father had disappeared in the royal capital.
“………Did your father come to the royal capital for work or something?”
Then, a refined elderly man from the neighboring table interrupted the conversation.
This is an opportunity to get information.
Yuki and I glanced and nodded at each other.
“No. My dad came here to travel to the Kingdom of Yakumo. He used to contact us sometimes when he had arrived somewhere, but I didn’t get any contact after the contact when he told us that he had arrived in the royal capital.”
“We came to the royal capital because we are worried about our father. Umm, were there any incidents in the royal capital?”
Yuki and I stared at the man who called out to us with tears in his eyes.
