"To think that I am also summoned to this round table of Amleth. Is it because you don't want me to run around and spoil your plan?" [Diana].
"You're absolutely right about that." [Nar]
"We can't afford to keep an eye on you all the time, so this is at least what we think is best" [Sas].
"Hmph! If that's the case, then forgive me!" [Diana]
"Sulking. Pouting" [Nar]
"I'm not!" [Diana]
"Yes. Yes, you are" [Sas]
"The little demon in red is sulking. Why do you always want to bite me?" [Arthur]
"Will you please stop bullying her! I swear to the Goddess, men are so immature!" [Dana]
"And I'm here too... This is kind of nerve-wracking... Why can't it just be dear father? Or better yet, why can't it be my dear brother or sister? I'm sure they represent House of Lion better than I do" [Marianne].
"This is a request to both Dear Mother and the Duke of Lion. After all, you're the one we'll be working with the most in the future" [Kara].
It's the Round Table of Amleth. It's been a long time since there was one. When was the last time we all got together to discuss things? I can't remember exactly, but as usual, only Auntie Amleth's most trusted companions are invited to attend.
The branch of the World Tree from Grandma Farhah will arrive in a month or so, so I'm sure it's not for the purification of Ophelia Vars. I'm sure it's the urgent matter of the two dukes of the House of Prosperity and the House of Spear. After all, they're planning to betray Aunt Amleth.
"We lack the evidence to bring them to justice" [Myle].
"We know what they're up to, and they knew we knew, so it's frustrating" [Alaric].
"Just sitting around waiting for things to happen isn't good either, but for now that's what we can do" [Aeron].
They wanted to dethrone Aunt Amleth. Before that happens, we must act quickly. We can't just go around attacking the dukes, no, that would make the public mistrustful...
"So far, we can conclude from your various efforts that they're buying weapons from the Empire to better equip themselves. This has been inadvertently thwarted by the Dark Guild, as they're the ones stealing these weapons. They're also trying to recruit citizens to their cause by disguising it as training. Those who attend will then be brainwashed to pick up a weapon on the day they carry out their plan. Before that happens, I want to kill the two dukes and replace them with a trustworthy person. Those two will be Miss Eisheth and Miss Akela" [Amleth].
"Huh!?" [Jean]
"That's surprising. Really surprising though, I see it coming" [Elegast].
"At least Akela will have Khamisah as her successor. Khamisah can lead the adventure guild here. I still don't have one" [Eisheth].
"That's why I told you. You have to make a successor. Well, push comes to shove, I'll lend you one or two people" [Akela].
"So, you two will be our new partners. What duchess title would you like?" [Duke of Fortress]
"Duke of Demon and Duke of Fox? No. Too shallow." [Duke of Lion]
"You two dukes are really pretending to be surprised here" [Randy]
"Same as you, although I'm impressed that some of you can deduce it even before this announcement is made" [Khamisah]
"It's quite hard, but Sister Khamisah stepping down as Saga, Miss Akela and Eisheth going in and out of the castle, though I have to admit I didn't think they'd become a duchess right away..." [Diana]
(Wait... So Diana noticed! I'm a failure for not even suspecting it...) [Dana]
(I can tell that Dana is depressed because she didn't even suspect anything. Honestly, I feel the same way.) [Liya]
The Adventure Guild has it a little easy when it comes to Miss Akela becoming a Duchess. Sister Khamisah will step in as Adventure Guild Master, and to compensate for Saga's retirement, Randy and Savel will be promoted to S-rank adventurers. It's long overdue if you ask me. They deserve this rank more than anyone else.
Miss Eisheth, since everyone relies on her, hasn't been able to find a suitable successor to lead the succubus and other demon clans in Amleth once she takes her mantle as Duchess. The next in line will be Miss Vita, I suppose? No, I don't think so.
"And here we go! The kaleidoscope must be hard to bring" [Merlin].
"What is that?" [Dana]
"Wait? Is that the kaleidoscope you used to find me? I see! I see! You wanted to peek around the two dukes' houses to get information on what they're going to do." [Diana]
"Not peeking around. It's just glancing and accidentally picking up a thing or two" [Merlin].
(Again... I'm depressed... My little sister really does pick things up fast, but that's why I'm so proud of her!) [Dana]
Master Merlin and Aunt Amleth are both operating the kaleidoscope. Master Merlin pours her space mana while Aunt Amleth pours her time mana. They tried their best to take a look at the two dukes' houses.
"Invasion of privacy" [Diana].
"True. I can't believe that little Amleth is doing this. Where did I go wrong in raising her? I'm a failure as a master" [Merlin].
"Boo! Aunt Amleth is making Master Merlin cry" [Diana]
"Little Amleth, it's not too late, you can still..." [Merlin]
"Diana, Master. I'll see to it that you both are punished properly afterwards. The more you talk, the harder it will be." [Amleth]
"..." [Diana, Merlin]
(To think that was all it took to shut them up) [Mara]
(Dear Mother's face is red. Either from anger or embarrassment, I can't tell) [Kara]
(Must. Not. Laugh. Stop it Sas!) [Nar]
(But it's funny) [Sas]
I am a good girl who loves this land. So I wouldn't make inappropriate remarks to the ruler. Especially not because I am afraid of the punishment Auntie Amleth will give us soon.
"Does it usually take this long?" [Dana]
"Actually, I remember it being fast back then." [Jean]
"There are spells that prevented us from looking through. This is even more difficult than I thought. I'm impressed. Seriously. I'm very impressed" [Merlin]
Hmm... If I remember correctly, this one can even look at the castle of the empire, so I'm quite surprised that they couldn't even look at the house of the two dukes. Something must have prevented them from doing so.
"This is just a hypothesis. Since they couldn't even look at it, I'm sure they know that you two will inevitably use it to spy on them, and since we know that they buy weapons from the Empire, I don't think it's far-fetched that they also received help from the Empire to set up a powerful barrier" [Nar].
"Agreed, although I think we can take a look once the barrier is down" [Merlin].
"Hehehe..." [Diana]
"No" [Khamisah]
"But why! This is child's play to me!" [Diana]
"Actually, I'm with Diana on this one" [JOATMON].
"How about the three of us being the ones to break down these barriers?" [Teliara]
"Do you want to sneak around or do you want to do it from the inside?" [Marianne]
"What do you mean?" [Diana]
"Well, I received an invitation from the Duchess to have tea with her tomorrow morning. I can invite Diana under the pretext of hanging out with friends" [Marianne].
"That's actually good. How about I join you?" [Mara]
"The more the better. That way, they wouldn't really suspect Diana" [Kara]
"Then we should invite Tio, Adnan and Neloufa as well?! Might as well invite Stacy and Auger" [Diana].
"You have to be careful around them. I hope someone can accompany them from the inside" [Savel].
"Fie can!" [Diana]
"Fie... Can turn into a cat. Can beastly transform. I Can pretend to be Fie and help them" [Aya]
"That's it then! Two Fie! They wouldn't suspect a thing!" [Diana]
"To think that I am also summoned to this round table of Amleth. Is it because you don't want me to run around and spoil your plan?" [Diana].
"You're absolutely right about that." [Nar]
