"Dear Liddy, you escort Lili,"

"Dear Liddy, you escort Lara."

"Mummy mummy," said the twin princesses of Aardar, Princess Lilianna and Princess Laurencia, swelling their cheeks and staring at each other. With that hand, grabbing Liddy's hand firmly against each other.

Shortly after leaving the Wang Metropolitan Guard's record bank, Liddy and Alberto drove their carriages to Egdiel Castle. Of course, to make contact with Barnabas, who should be visiting the castle with the designer's escort.

That said, I can't work the disrespect of suddenly interrupting my promises to the royal family, etc. So when I did the use to Mrs Crown, who was supposed to be present to try, she replied that she wanted to come to the reception room with the princesses from the other side.

So, here's the situation.

"Master Liddy stays with Lili!

"Master Liddy stays with Lara!

"Mmmmmmmm!!

"Both of you, please don't fight..."

With her right hand gripped by Lilianna and her left hand by Laurencia, Liddy looks troubled without the majesty of the former Duke's house. If you look at your own squire in search of salvation, you're shaking your shoulders and desperately enjoying laughter.

(Alberto, you, remember...)

"You're both in trouble, aren't you, Master Liddy? When the lady invites you, you'll be more handsome."

"In the first place, it's too early to escort the little ones, Oi! Look, I'm going to take my measurements, so just stay here!

It was Beatrice and the man the designer said he was under contract with the Ist Chamber of Commerce who put out the help boat in place of Alberto, who couldn't rely on it at all. He's the pamper! And he rang his hand, and the two princesses rushed away contentiously, even as they replied, "Yes," dissatisfied.

For Christ's sake, Beatrice grins at Liddy for dropping her shoulder and sinking into the couch.

"I'm sorry, Master Liddy. It's rare for both of you to meet with someone like Lord Liddy. Looks like they totally liked it."

"Oh, no. I'm sorry I pushed you so suddenly."

"It's okay. Because I thought it would be a good opportunity to pull together with those people. Yes, what are your plans for the rest of this? If you don't mind, would you like to join us for tea?

"Happy. May I wait here while you measure?

"Absolutely. Tell him to wait. I've finished choosing the fabric, so it won't take long."

Beatrice spoke to the samurai, who was happily on her side, to prepare her tea in the courtyard, before moving quickly to the next room. After making sure that the door leading to the neighboring room was tightly closed, Liddy turned her body toward 'him' again.

"It's an odd encounter, Lord Barnabas. I didn't expect to see you two days in a row."

"Bizarre encounter, hey"

In half, in half, give up, Barnabas McGregor answers. From that appearance, I heard that he thinly perceived the true purpose for which Liddy and the others appeared here.

So Liddy decided to get down to business without a rush.

"I was asked to look at the dossier in the records bank about Adam Fisher's case. Let's get straight to the point: even now, six years later, what makes Lord Barnabas so obsessed with the case? Why did he lose his life?

"The record library? You said you saw that record over there?

To Liddy's words, Barnabas rises. Even now, the temper just grabbing seeps out of him, but Liddy just smiles at his neat face. Barnabas immediately perceived its intentions to a guest from a neighbouring country who never tried to stay ahead.

"... I've told you before. He says it's no use asking a dead man for the truth."

"It's up to me to decide whether it's for nothing. It's not for you to decide."

"Did you come to see me today as the Heilland envoy?

"I have no problem getting them to see me that way. Plus, it would be perfect if you recognized it as top secret."

Silence falls indoors. Slightly, Barnabas sighed.

"In the last six years, I haven't grabbed any evidence. But there was something wrong with the last guy I saw. That's why I think he's in some kind of trouble."

"Before the incident, did you see him?

"Yeah. A few days before his body was found in the woods, by chance, it was all over Kingsley."

That being said, Barnabas began to talk about what happened one night six years ago.

Six years ago, Barnabas was visiting the Yugdrasil mansion to come to Kingsley, the king's capital.

By that time Barnabas had been recognized as a merchant talent by the Hopkins Chamber of Commerce Chairman, flying around the country and abroad. It was his custom to sew between them, beside greeting the Chancellor and his wife, to deal with Charlotte, who was young, and his brothers.

Yugdrasil Mansion always welcomed me to Barnabas and recommended that I stay in the hall. Sometimes I rode invitations, but I didn't have the nerve to take care of them every time, and most of them used an inn I dated as a chamber of commerce.

Even then, Barnabas had lodged all over town. After dinner at the Yugdrasil mansion, he was walking Kingsley back to his own inn. That's when I saw one traveler nodding in the dark.

Barnabas tried to go too far next door, wondering if he was drunk or lost. Until the traveler speaks up.

"... Barnabas, huh?"

"... Adam? No way, it's Adam!?"

If I let him stand half-heartedly, that was Adam Fisher, my best friend who disappeared from the Chamber of Commerce a long time ago.

I wanted to ask him a lot, but he was tired and hungry. So, for now, Barnabas supported Adam and made the move to a nearby tavern.

Now, for some reason, without a single sentence - which, too, was as if he had escaped somewhere by himself, his clothes were all rubbed off - Barnabas tilted his neck as he fetched Adam a meal. After a while, I wonder what happened to my friend.

"Where the hell were you? He said he left Ist until he kicked his benevolence, but he came back with such a dying look.

"... I'm sorry. Barnabas, don't say a word to you.

"Nothing, right? Oh, yeah. I just left a piece of paper, and I let myself go. Me and Master Yugdrasil have been looking for you for a long time.

Yet I could not take my footsteps.

It was not sneaky to annoy Yugdrasil's hand for personal reasons, but the Chancellor himself led Adam through himself, turning his hand on each side to follow his whereabouts. If you still can't find it, I can only imagine how well prepared you are to dazzle yourself.

But Adam said he couldn't.

He said not to ask me about these past few years.

Hard work, so pierced.

Instead he repeated the phrase "failed".

"Failed. I screwed up. 'That one' would have been disappointed. I'm sure they would have cut me loose...

With a dry grin that gave up everything, Adam stirs up a strong booze. As if trying to hurt yourself by doing so.

Barnabas, who did not know jeans, nevertheless encouraged his friends. I don't know what a failure is. Remember when I was at the Chamber of Commerce. I'm not prepared to regain the trust I lost, but I told him to talk to me that way and make him salvage it if he was willing to die because of it.

Even myself, I thought it was a word with no contents. But Adam narrowed his eyes nostalgically to Barnabas' encouragement and laughed happily. If you bitterly complained that you weren't joking, they returned that you were as crazy as you used to be.

Then, as I once did, my two best friends quarreled over the liquor. Adam also gradually regained his euphoria, joking like he did when he was at the Chamber of Commerce, and drinking happily.

I stayed up all night. In a good mood, Barnabas took his friend to his own inn and took another room for him to do it. Barnabas stabbed only one nail at his friend as he pushed his beloved Adam into the room and flirted himself.

"All right. I'll take you to Master Yugdrasil tomorrow. He was worried about me a lot, too. Don't worry about running away if you're wrong.

I'm not sure Adam heard the words properly. He just let him wave his hands flickering powerlessly on the bed where he fell into depression. Barnabas was also limited to drowsiness, and he waved back gently to it before closing the door flat.

That was the last time I saw Adam alive.

"The next morning, when I picked him up, the room was stuffed. He wasn't there."

"Again, you mean you let him disappear?

"... that would happen"

To Barnabas, who frowned and clouded his words, Liddy tilted her neck and urged ahead. Then, after being slightly lost, Barnabas sighed.

"Whatever. The next time I saw him, he was dead. Plus, everyone in the inn says they haven't seen Adam go outside. … you'll want to suspect that something happened after I went back to my room."

According to Barnabas, Adam's body was found in the woods that evening.

The situation at the time of discovery was also in the records of the Wang Metropolitan Guard. What I found was a soldier who was on the lookout, and when the guard dog I had made a noise I went deeper into the woods than usual, he said I discovered it.

The door that separates you from your neighbor doesn't open yet. I guess the two princesses are raising their voices, but the voices never reached this far, and the indoors were so quiet that I missed them except for Liddy and the others talking.

"Dear Liddy. If you're after Adam, let me know."

Barnabas groaned as he regretted six years of not being able to find an answer.

"Who was Adam saying, 'That one'? - Is that what killed Adam?

After a small tea party was held at a salon in the castle courtyard. After thanking Beatrice and the others, Liddy and Alberto withdrew.

They totally liked Liddy. Two princesses wave innocently at them leaving. Liddy whispered to Alberto walking behind him as he gave it back to him.

"What do you think, Al? I thought Adam Fisher was definitely a mole man, so I stepped on it."

"I agree with your husband."

In a whisper as well, Alberto replied.

"The time of death and how it was before. Above all, the phrase 'failed'. Isn't that referring to the Big Master's... with Lord Lloyd"

"I guess. Then 'that one' would mean the mastermind. - Finally, I got my tail. Sigh, despicable, about him."

If that's the case, it's early. Liddy and his men are pursuing a senior Aardhar official in the Senate. There will be a limited number of people who are unaccompanied by an orphanage and who may have caught an eye on Adam Fisher, who was in the position of a merchant apprentice.

And, thinking so far, Liddy stopped on her feet perfectly.

There are two reasons. One is because nature and a certain person emerge as suspects if Adam is a mole man. And the other is because the suspect - Prime Minister Yugdrasil - stood at the end of the corridor.

Sawdust and the sound of Alberto swallowing in the back.

To escape hitting the West Day, the Chancellor is tumbling into the dim in the back. Among them, I found myself smiling with the same serenity as usual, and on the contrary, I felt the comfort of being caressed with something cold on my back.

Liddy stepped out, not stopping forever. If I proceeded one step, one step and carefully, each time I made an unpleasant noise about how bad my heart was.

"Father... Father..."

The hardness of the cobblestone transmitted to the soles of the feet running through the dungeons, as well as the coolness of the skin touched, can be remembered as if it were yesterday.

On that day, mourning, begging forgiveness, and begging for forgiveness, I firmly swore that no matter how much time I had, I would surely repay my debts.

That hatred may be in front of you.

This man may have cut Lloyd off.

Liddy swallows all the rough emotions in her chest under a plain look. As he reached nearby, the deep green outfit covering the Prime Minister's slender body fluttered, and he bowed gracefully.

"Lord Liddy. In this country, I was wondering if they were doing anything wrong, but it seemed worrying. I'm relieved you look well."

"Thank you for your attention. Thanks to you, I'm not doing anything wrong."

"That's good. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything, Lord Alberto."

"Thank you"

With a soft grin, Yugdrasil bows gently again. Liddy responds to it as well, taking care not to enlighten the opponent of the tension. As we tried to break up - the Chancellor stopped them.

"You think you got into the Wang Metropolitan Guard's record bank? Take care. Some people do not often think that you are particularly eyed by His Majesty. This action is too conspicuous."

I can tell right around the corner without confirming that Alberto made himself stronger. After a beat, Liddy lifted the corner of her mouth vigorously and looked back.

"That's Master Yugdrasil. There's nothing you can hide in this country."

"It's a buyout. A lot of things just tend to get in my ear."

"Even so, my ears are much faster. It's like he was watching my actions somewhere."

"Don't be offended. Sometimes, from a standpoint, you have to."

Leaning her neck gently, the Chancellor lowers her brow with regret.

- That's right. Everyone is interested in Liddy's trend, sent as envoy at this time under a secret agreement between Emperor Elizabeth and Princess Alicia.

Whether it's a mastermind or not. Yugdrasil has a reason to keep an eye on Liddy.

... He also brings it to nature.

To the confronting prime minister, Liddy also answered with his hands on his chest.

"Thank you for your advice. It is not my intention to create a groove with the people of this country...... Be careful in the future."

"I'm relieved you understand. Above Lord Liddy's head, may the guardian star guide you."

The Chancellor smiles softly and now it is time to turn his back and walk away across the corridor. Liddy and Alberto could not keep their eyes open until their backs turned corners and became invisible.
