Chapter 59: 59 \nI got dressed, rather than dressed, and I was rocked by a carriage, along with Marius and Camilo. It makes me look so flashy. It was only salvation that Thermia and Rike hadnāt seen this figure.\n
āDonāt be so angry. You want to seeā fake ātoo, right?
Camilo picks it up.
āIām not saying I donāt want to seeā¦ā
A family heirloom bestowed by the king, it would be more than that if it were, and if he asks if he doesnāt care, he decides to care.
āThis is my request. Iāve got you both involved, and I want you both to know about the upside.ā
Marius says. I have no objection to that either.
āSo why did I have to wear these clothes?
Thatās the only thing Iām hooked on.
āIf you say it without covering it up, you canāt just have a blacksmith present at the place where you say it. I think Iām talking nonsense. So I put on my noble clothes.ā
Marius answers.\n
āSo, Eizo is supposed to be my guest from the north. Theyāre bringing some Karel, too, so taking a guest wonāt be an issue. It would be more convenient to declare a recapture in the presence of a third party, if it were Karel. Same with Lord Camilo. I guess you expect the story to spread on the pedestrian information network. Otherwise, thereās no way that Karel would approve of attending aā pedestrian. ā
āI see.ā
āPer pedestrianā would be Karelās word, not Marius. Marius is supposed to be the next Count, but āprogressiveā for a nobleman. If you guard in the city, you will see all sorts of people, and is the experience alive? To say that pedestrians are good and blacksmiths are no good is not a story I donāt understand when I think about spreading information.
āYou mean itās all gonna be on the back.ā
āDonāt be.ā
Being seen by a third party that says I, or by a pedestrian with an information network that says Camilo, can only result in spreading Karelās failures. Karelās bringing in friends and acquaintances also produces the same result. I hope youāll just admit it. I couldnāt help but think so.
Eventually we arrive at a large mansion. Is this the house of the Earl of Amur?
This is Sir Menzelās apartment.
Marius tells me, but thatās a name I donāt hear.
āSir Menzel is the Marquis of this country.ā\nCamilo followed me. Does the Marquis mean one thing above the Count?
āHeh. Youāve come to an elusive placeā
āIn the old knowledge that my father was Sir Menzel. Younger than my father, but I was being cordial. Even on that edge, Iām entrusted with ruling on the matter.ā
It is Marius who says so. I see. I guess a report to the King would also be direct if it was about the Marquis.
When you get off the carriage at the mansion, a servant, or a polite young man of your waist, will guide you and let you through to the large room. When we got here, nobody was in the room yet. Marius sat in her seat, so we sit down near there. I donāt really know what to do next when I say this, but it doesnāt seem as different from the world before. The sword of the ārealā family heirloom, wrapped in cloth, rests by Marius.
Slightly, three men came in. One of them has an invincible grin. Anyway, it looks like Marius, so is that Karel? Itās not a face that I shouldnāt have. I guess I happen to be blind to greedā¦ā¦ I guess the other two are people of that status, too. Karel and the others sit back in a position facing us.
Until Karel got here, he was kind of chatting with us in a whisper, but he kept his mouth shut as soon as he came in.
Some further from there came a magnificent man in luxurious clothes. He has a disappointing body and a perfectly groomed moustache and hair. Is that the Marquis Menzel? We stand together. When the Marquis sat in his seat, he urged us to take a seat as well.
āNow, the sword of the family heirloom was taken from the Amur family, and Lord Karel took it back?
The Marquis asks the Karels. It makes me think that most humans would tremble if they were yelled at with this voice, with a low, quiet voice, which must be the image they receive from a disappointed body.
\nāMay I have one?ā
āI donāt mind. Say it.ā
Marquis urges.
āThe only reason I seemed slow was because that family heirloom was fake. The real thing was on hand, so we thought we should just twitch and hunt down the thieves. I just want you to know that Iām very much reflecting on what it looked like to have my hands around, but itās the difference between cleaning it up quickly, twitching, hunting it down, and tightening it up.ā
āHmm?ā
The Marquis raises a frown on Mariusā counterattack. I heard a noise saying Gatan, so when I looked over there, Karel would have stood up unexpectedly.
āHereās the real thing.ā
He unwrapped the cloth that Marius had placed beside him and put out a sword that fit in his sheath. Give me my ārealā sword.
