rin.

She knew his true self, but he seemed like a person who really had no idea about anything, he was so good at acting.

“By the way, princess.
I’m going to show you what I said before.
Is it okay?”

“What you said before, ah.
Do you mean that?”

“Yes, I hid it in the garden!”

Sandor is one of the closest families to Sebastian.

Therefore, Agnes tried to limit her meeting with Roland to an “accidental meeting” at a banquet.

“I’m looking forward to it.
Erica bragged about it so much.”

“You can look forward to it.
You’ll be surprised when you see it.”

The two naturally came out of the banquet hall and walked together to the garden.

Matron followed them quietly, too.

“I can’t believe you’re wearing a tailcoat.”

“It’s not my will.”

Roland whispered in a very small voice.
Agnes also smiled and spoke quietly.

“What should I do?”

“Leave us alone.
Go ahead.
I’ll follow you soon.”

“Yes.”

The night garden decorated with light spheres was surprisingly beautiful.

 

“Oh my….
Princess.
I forgot to bring a bag of rice.”

“You’re so forgetful.”

“I’m sorry, but please wait here!”

Roland ran away.
Matron silently followed Agnes.

“Sir Matron.”

“Yes, madam.”

“Go get me some cool water.
With ice floating.”

“That’s for the servant….”

“It’s only for a short time.
It’s so hot that I can’t endure it.”

Matron hesitated, but soon nodded when Agnes showed signs of annoyance.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

Agnes ran to the meeting place only after Matron completely disappeared from sight.

“This way.”

When I went to the place we were supposed to meet, Roland appeared in the shadows.

“I’ll send you more details in the west, but the more I look into it, the more spectacular it gets.”

“Hmm?”

“The full-fledged investigation began after Emmerich Cellon received the Count, but there were more items smuggled and trafficked beyond the black wall than I thought.”

“What are they trying to smuggle?”

“There are small alcohol and tobacco leaves to large wheat, copper, and iron.”

“Oh, he has a lot of guts.”

Wheat and iron are items that are strictly controlled by the state.

If caught, the issue is so serious that it will be handed over to a trial for communicating with other countries.

“I know.
As I keep investigating, I’m doubting whether Count Cellon is really the Count I know.”

Agnes twitched her nose.
I think things will be bigger than I thought.

“That’s right…”

“That’s not all.”

Roland spoke with a ton of low voice.

“Is there anything else besides this?”

“Yes.
According to the spies, it seems to be closely related to the Pirate King.”

“Pirate King? Is he communicating with them?”

Roland nodded his head instead of answering.
Agnes’ face became more serious than before.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“We have secured an insider’s testimony.
We have obtained information that there is a double ledger on the smuggling side, and it’s still related to the pirate king.”

“Then.”

Then there was a rustling sound from the bushes a little far away.

The two shut their mouths at the same time.
Agnes pointed at the bushes with her chin.

Roland walked very carefully toward the sound.

“It must have been a cat.”

A small cat shot away in the bushes.

“What about Count Barania?”

“She’s so clean there that it’s weird.
She didn’t commit that common usury once.”

“Hmm.”

As for Barania, it was expected to some extent, so there was no big disappointment.

“Is there anything else special?”

“Well, recently, Count Barania’s youngest daughter is missing.”

“What?”

“It seems like they’re keeping it inside the family, but she seems to have run away with her escort knight.”

“Oh, my.
The Count must be very concerned.”

Agnes stopped talking for a long time that Roland called her

“Duchess?”

Suddenly, I remembered that the Count’s youngest daughter died unfortunately.

And I remember hearing that the daughter’s body was found in a city in Leana.

“Look through Leana.”

“What?”

“East coast.
It’s a port city.
What was its name?”

Even if I kept squeezing my head, I could not remember the name.

“The coastal city of Leana?”

“Yeah.
We need to find the Count’s Youngest daughter as soon as possible.
Before something happens to her.
Okay?”

Agnes’ expression was so firm that Roland could not bring up another rebuttal.
