[Title at the end]
As Samantha read aloud the document summarizing the current situation, an unfamiliar man enters the room.
The man hands a piece of paper to Samantha and quickly leaves the room.
After looking down at the paper she received, Samantha’s expression suddenly changes.
“We have a situation. It seems that King Frederick has finally agreed to the public execution of Linus-shi as a rebel. At the same time, he also agreed to the execution of both Danton and Philia, his personal disciples.” (Samantha)
“Linus-shishou will be publicly executed!?” (Noelia)
“Director and Sensei too!?” (Frick)
“To think that King Frederick would be overwhelmed by that brat Gile
 This was a miscalculation. Chancellor Boris, his father, has returned to his territory to recuperate from illness, so I thought that brat Gile alone wouldn’t be enough to make King Frederick give in. I had never thought that he would discard Linus, who had been heavily supporting him since when he was still a crown prince, this quickly.” (Cassandra)
It seems that even Cassandra doesn’t expect the sudden change, as she makes a surprised face to Cassandra’s report.
“So what is the date of the public execution?” (Frick)
“It seems to be at noon, tomorrow
” (Samantha)
“Tomorrow!?” (Frick)
I know that rebellion is a grave crime, but still.
This is too fast.
Normally, the public execution of a criminal should be carry out about a week after being proclaimed.
The situation is progressing faster than I expected, if we remain standing and watching without interfering, in the afternoon tomorrow, Director, Sensei, and Linus would be executed and displayed for public to see.
“If Linus-shi is executed as a rebel, our Noelia would end up being implicated as well
” (Cassandra)
“Even if we insist that Noelia-ojousama has nothing to do with it, if King Frederick accepts Gile’s words, I think the family would tread down the same path as Linus-shi.” (Samantha)
Cassandra and Samantha are discussing about what will happen after Linus’s public execution.
“I have sent a messenger to Lloyd at Youg Hannotes, telling him to come save Linus-shi as soon as possible, but in case he brings his knights, it would take him two weeks at the earliest to arrive here.” (Cassandra)
“Then he wouldn’t make it in time. Perhaps, if we have Noelia-ojousama and Cassandra-sama alone escape the royal capital now
” (Samantha)
“That is most likely what the enemy wants, so I’d prefer not to. What to do
” (Cassandra)
Cassandra and Samantha frown, seemingly worried about what to do in this situation.
“I’ll go rescue Linus-shi, Director, and Sensei right before the public execution. I’m just a commoner, fledgling adventurer anyway, even if I were to be labeled as a criminal, Henestrosa family shouldn’t be implicated. If I rescue the three and hide until Frontier Count-sama arrives, I’m sure the wind will turn in our favor.” (Frick)
“Frick-sama!? Isn’t that dangerous?” (Noelia)
“Considering our limited amount of time, I think this way has a high success rate.” (Frick)
I’m going to rescue the three, even if I’m alone.
Vigo, who seems to be pulling the string on the back, shouldn’t use Abyss Walkers or Genociders in the middle of the royal capital.
If there are only Royal Guard knights and guards, I should be able to let the three escapes while distracting them with magic.
Given the circumstances, it is more convenient for me to act when they’re outside than to infiltrate Gile’s mansion where it’s unknown what’s waiting for me.
“To have Frick-dono to move alone, huh
 that is not bad. We will be able to insist that the adventurer does it on his own accord.” (Cassandra)
“Grandmother! In that case, Frick-sama will become a criminal! I don’t accept it!” (Noelia)
Noelia seems wanting to stop me from doing the rescue alone, as she flares up at Cassandra.
But Cassandra pay no heed to Noelia; she takes my hand and smiles complacently.
“Frick-dono, are you willing to hire another adventurer to increase your success rate?” (Cassandra)
“Another adventurer? This is a crime, and I don’t really want to involve an unrelated person, so I’d like to refrain from doing so
” (Frick)
“They are a super-first-class adventurer whose skills in magic are superior and have exemplary track records, you see. It would be great if you could bring that adventurer, whose name is Noelia, along. I am sure your success rate will increase further, then.” (Cassandra)


Yes? What was that?
I feel like I heard her mentioned Noelia, however?
I’m going to go alone so as not to involve the Henestrosa family, though?
I can’t understand the words Cassandra said and can’t reply.
“Me!?” (Noelia)
It seems that Noelia is surprised too, she has a startled look on her face.
“Indeed, my granddaughter is now disowned. Hereafter, she is not allowed to wear the name of our family, and she is just an adventurer who has no relation to the Henestrosa family. I have decided, regardless of what Lloyd would say. While he has succeeded as the present family head of the Henestrosa family, Lloyd did not receive the position of patriarch. This old woman is still the matriarch. So with my authority as the matriarch, I am disowning Noelia Henestrosa.” (Cassandra)
“Grandmother!?” (Noelia)
“Noelia, you are just Noelia from now on. You are not a member of the Henestrosa family, so feel free to do anything you want. If a problem comes up later, Grandma will have Lloyd clean it up, so don’t you worry. It is a wife’s duty to support their husband, you know.” (Cassandra)
Cassandra holds my hand in one hand and takes Noelia’s in the other.
“Oh, these are good images. I can see some troubles with women, but it’s a natural thing for a man who will become a hero to be popular. There will be no problem as long as you conduct yourself well and settles down in the end.” (Cassandra)
Perhaps she’s using Future Vision, Cassandra, who took the hands of Noelia and me, leaks a smile.
“Cassandra-sama
what exactly did you mean by that?” (Frick)
“That is a secret. This Future Vision is also related to the survival of our family. Frick-dono, Future Vision showed me auspicious omens, so make sure you give that brat Gile a lesson to your heart’s content. Noelia, too, assist him well.” (Cassandra)
After saying that much, Cassandra let go of our hands.
“Samantha, we are also going to make necessary arrangements so that we all will be fine no matter how the situation turns out. Pull those nobles who are holding their breath to our side. There should be only a few nobles who sides with the likes of that brat Gile, whose father is absent.” (Cassandra)
“Understood. I will have my clan members to let the noble families who are watching over the situation to know that ‘Frontier Count-sama is leading his knights and will arrive in the royal capital in a few days’.” (Samantha)
When Samantha signals a waiting maid with her eyes, the maid rushes out of the room.
After we saw her off, we went through the secret passage again, returned to the downtown, and decided to stay near the plaza where tomorrow’s public execution would take place.
