“... Aren't you greeting me too much? ”

Half surprised, half welcomed, jumped out of bed and ran to her, but when she looked more surprised than me, she withdrew.

“Oh, I'm sorry if I startled you, Isabelle. But how do I make a teleport...? ”

“It's because of the power of God I have. I'm more than happy to welcome you. Mr. Kaiyan, have you had a good look at the records? ”

“Yes, that solved a lot of my questions. ”

“Good to see you. So, when are you going to meet Garon? As you know, I'm working on a plan, so I don't have a lot of time...”

I waved my hand at Isabelle, who looked apologetic to me.

“Rather, I appreciate you coming in on such short notice. Isabelle, I don't care if I go to see Garonne right now. ”

“Good. Now, then... hmm? What's the matter?”

Grabbing Isabelle's collar on her way out of the room, she looks at you with her eyes wide open.

“I have a favor to ask you first...”

“Mr. Kaiyan asked me for a favor? Hmm... Good. Tell me."

“As Isabelle knows, Baran of the Karsia family is a friend of mine. And now he's addicted to it, and he's lying on his bed. by assassins. ”

“Ah! I heard that story this morning, too. because it made a lot of noise. ”

I was worried about how to solve the story, but fortunately, I was relieved to hear from her that she knew.

If she already knows the situation, she'll know what to ask for.

“Speaking of which... can you help me catch those assassins?" I want to move myself because I feel like it... ”

“Of course I can help, but it won't be much help. I heard that Earl Karsia himself stepped out. ”

“You mean the late Carsia, Baran's father? ”

Well, it wasn't a struggle for an heir. Someone was trying to kill a predetermined heir.

It's not uncommon that the Marquis of Carsia moves himself to punish the man who's trying to kill his son.

“Yes, I'm sure the unsub will be caught soon. Well, I don't know if you know this, but we can all guess who did it. ”

“The Marquis of Carsia's wife, presumed to be the killer? ”

Isabelle nods, not saying anything.

I can imagine how bad the relationship between the late wife and Baran would have been if I had to think that way all the way to the castle.

‘Yes, you said things had gotten worse with the late wife since Barando Jansen's death. Maybe this is what was predicted. ’

In a way, I'm glad the Countess is doing something right now.

It will be only a matter of time before the late Carsia catches the criminal himself, and the late wife behind the assassin will be punished.

“Phew... I'm glad. I felt relieved when I was nervous. Then let's go meet Garonne. ”

Let's take a sigh of relief and carry her in our arms and try to get out.

Hot meal.

This time Isabelle stopped me by holding my collar.

“What's the matter? Anything to say...? ”

“Since Baran is a friend of Mr. Kaiyan... If Baran doesn't wake up in four days, the Karsians could be in trouble. ”

“Yes? I heard it took me a week to heal by listening... What does that have to do with the Karsias, anyway?" ”

“Four days later is the inauguration of a formal successor in the castle. If you are an heir to the Manyslan noble family, you must do it before you can become lord. ”

The inauguration of a formal successor.

Is it really necessary for Jansen to be in the yard where he's already dead? No, even if it's not.

“Shouldn't we postpone it? A generous month back. ”

“Impossible. It's not an inauguration for the Karsias, it's an inauguration for all the members of the Manislan family. ”

“…. Then what happens if you don't attend the inauguration ceremony? ”

“If you don't get it this time, you have to wait five years and then get an appointment. The official inauguration ceremony is held every five years in the Kingdom. ”

Why does it open a bothersome appointment ceremony every five years?

In order for the king to apprehend the successors who will lead the family to the next generation? Or do you want us to get along face to face?

“Five years... then you won't have to worry too much. I'm already a formal successor anyway, but the problem is that I receive it a little later...”

“I'm sorry, we have a problem. I don't know if he's a young heir, but if he's an older heir like Varane, ”

However, since I didn't seem to have a problem with the inauguration ceremony, the moment I nodded alone, Isabelle cut off my words and spit out negative words.

“What does that have to do with... Baran being young? ”

“Yes. Successors who are not formally appointed in the Four Kingdoms as well as Manislan are not allowed to attend the council of aristocrats held in the Kingdom. ”

“The Noble Council... I remember hearing from Baran. I can get a full status. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

The official status is just a saying, but it's not great to know the truth. It's just a status given to the nobles who work in the kingdom.

It is the position of commander who can command the central army, administer as part of the royal family, or otherwise influence the kingdom.

I also heard that Baran calls continuing, rather than temporary, duties as he was temporarily assigned to the Punitive Force commander.

[Kaiyan, so you're saying that if Baran doesn't get full status, he should be in the Cartier Mansion for five years?]

“That's …. ”

I understood what Isabelle meant by that additional explanation by Rika.

Given that Baran is now running towards his mid-20s like she said, it's quite a loss not doing the right thing for five years.

"Should I give the elixir to Varane? ’

I've thought about it, but it's too much of a loss for me to feed the elixir to someone who will wake up in 7 days.

“... I have no choice. I hope to wake up in four days. But he saved his life, and he'll have another chance in five years. ”

“I wonder if there will be an opportunity in five years...”

“What do you mean by that? ”

“Literally. I'm not sure Baran has a chance in five years. If I know the erl Karsia, I won't miss this appointment. ”

“Yes? So you're saying you're taking the fallen one to the inauguration ceremony? ”

As Isabelle frowns and asks, she opens her mouth.

“No way. Not in a noble family that values dignity. ”

“… just tell me something cool. ”

“I meant that Earl Karsia would take Lian de Karsia to the inauguration ceremony. Lian is Baran's brother. ”

“I know that. Then why are you taking Lian? ”

“She's the blood of the Karsias, too. If you agree with the Marquis, you have sufficient authority to appoint a successor. ”

Is Isabelle playing a prank because she's bored? Do you think I don't know that much?

“Of course I know that. But Baran is already the heir of the Karsia family...”

“The laws of Manislan allow us to hand it over to someone else a year after the official successor and lord agrees. ”

“... You mean you'll have Lian appoint you and deliver it to Baran in a year's time. To save four years." ”

“Yes, it is. But… that's always when Lian agreed to it. ”

As an Leanne, I've also been communicating a few times. I've actually seen it at Cartier Manor.

At the same time, the nature of Lean seemed to lack greed for a successor position, but the problem was.

“Marquis Karsia... The Marquis's wife is the problem. Maybe they were after this in the first place.... ”

“Yes, that's what I see in the castle. But you can't punish them because they don't have much evidence. ”

Lyann's mother is the Marquis of Carsia.

That's why Isabelle told me this story and why it made me nervous.

“What happens if Lian doesn't hand over his successor to Varane? ”

“Then the Lord of the Karsias will be Lian. There's nothing I can do about it. ”

“Then I guess I'll just have to ask Lian to hand it over...”

If things go on like that, the inauguration ceremony will be over and even if we find out that the assassins are behind the Marquis's wife, nothing will change.

Lean, the future lord of Carsia, doesn't want to punish her mother.

“Ha... crazy. ”

[What do I do? I'd rather wake up Baran with an elixir...]

As long as it's not Rieka's word, you can't help but use the Elixir. I would try to decipher potions if I could go myself, but that's the only way to do it now that I can't see the status.

“... This is a frustrating situation. But didn't the Marquis of Carsia anticipate that? ”

A question on the other side of my head.

The reason that Count Cartier wants Lyann to be formally appointed is to save 4 years. But why would we do that at the risk of being the Countess?

“Well, you trust Lean from the Marquis's perspective. And even if Lian thinks differently, the Marquis himself will think he can handle it. ”

“Hmmm… What does Isabelle think? Will Lian give the job to Varane? ”

“If I had known Lyann, I would have, but the Countess would never have let me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done it. ”

You're right. There is no better way to do this than the lord, but we have no idea what would have happened if the late wife, Lian's mother, had gone.

Then the best thing for now, of course, is to postpone the formal appointment, but considering what Isabelle said, the Marquis of Carsia is unlikely to do.

“... I'll wake Baran up somehow. And of course, you don't have to worry about it, because it's not going to be on its own. ”

“From Mr. Kaiyan? Hmm... If you're not moving around on your own, well... I hope so. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the Karsia family. ”

“Apparently, the Marquis family is interested in the royal family. ”

“Yes? It's not the castle, it's the Garonne. It's where the late Lady Karsia's family is influenced by Astia. ”

As I tried to soothe my heart by thinking of 1000G to go out as an elixir, I was dumbfounded by her shocking words.

“… Astia? ”

“Yes, Astia. although I don't think the Countess is aware of that. But it must be true that the family helped us do this. ”

“Then what if Lian becomes Lord of the Karsia family...? ”

“In Garon, I was thinking about organizing the Cartier family for the future if Lian was appointed the official successor four days later. ”

“Organize…”

“Ah! I'm not talking about killing Lean. just to reduce the power of the family. Hmmm... The baroness is so good they won't do anything nonsense later. ”

Isabelle gives a big voice, and she looks at him with her mouth wide open.

What's different in Manislan than the sound of the baroness family wanting to reduce their power to the baron's level?

In a way, it's not just Lyann, it's also the current Archangel Karsia and Baran.

[Kaiyan, if Baran had heard this story now, he would have fallen by the back of his neck.]

“… Isabelle, leave the Karsias alone, because I will wake Baran up somehow. Please.”

“Yes? Of course. If Mr. Kaiyan can solve the problem, it's better from his point of view. All you have to do is take care of the Barclans. ”

“House Barclan... That must be the Marquis's family." influenced by Astia. ”

“That's right. An Earl family in the east, one of the central axes of Astia in MENISLAN. So I'm going to sweep it clean. ”

Isabelle's two eyes, which say they will wipe out a family, have no hesitation.

Of course, while she practically led Garon, she assumed that there would be more than that strength as a princess in a country, but it was strange to actually see her.

‘If I had met Isabelle as an enemy... I would have been as frightened as the Elder of Astia. ’

Half but with God's power and various artifacts through the Lucuba Merchant Guild, she is a princess of a country with immense power.

Recognizing that, I smiled and grabbed her hand.

“Mr. Kaiyan? ”

“That's reassuring.”

“Yes?”

“Let's go see Garonne! We've got more work to do. ”
