How About a Refill? ~The Elegant Tea Party of the Grand Witches~

Guided by the maid and entering Emilio's escort, Miriam was still shaken and anxious to think of the abducted Alessia.

Emilio told the maid to brew a resting herbal tea to calm Miriam down, and Miriam sat on the sofa and sat next to her.

"Let me bring you a herbal tea now. I hope it calms down a little...."

"Thank you very much. Dear Emilio...."

Seeing Miriam trembling with a blue face, Emilio unexpectedly turned her hand around her waist and hugged her.

The tiny Miriam slipped into Emilio's arms, and Emilio suddenly dazzled her soft, luxurious body.

(Oh, I accidentally hugged you, but... what happened?! What a small, cute...!

For a moment, the wicked thought overwhelmed his head, but remembering the current situation Emilio shook his head with momentum to dispel his troubles.

"Rest assured, your sister will help you."

When she put her strength into the arms she held, Miriam gently put her hand on Emilio's arm and raised her face.

"Thank you very much. It's settled down a lot... My sister is in a tough situation. I can't do this. [M] I apologize to Emilio for distracting me."

Seeing Miriam make a lean smile, Emilio inadvertently grabs her shoulders and turns from the front.

"Ah, Emilio...?

"Absolutely, you! You don't have to laugh! Don't cry because you're scared and anxious. I'll take it all. I need you to help me."

I hugged Miriam with confusion.

The smell of fluffy flowers tickles my nose. Your little body in your arms, your body temperature, invites you to love. I felt so strongly that I wanted to protect you.

"Kh, it's painful. Dear Emilio,"

Miriam slapped me in the back, and Emilio changed to me.

(What did I just do and say!?

As Emilio stood up, a maid with a wagon of herbal tea came back.

"I'm sorry, just calm down a little. Rest easy."

Miriam, who was looking for Emilio leaving the room with a red face, also held his red dyed cheeks with both hands.

"I'm sure of it. These are the red robes that Robin remembered."

Because the testimony of the man who accompanied Alessia and the guards was called "The Red Robes”, I wonder if it would be interesting, and ask Valeria, who came to Beatrice's mansion at the tea party, to take a look at her memory and confirm it.

"Are you saying it's the same as those who transferred Robin from the other world?

It's highly probable.

"I can't see the purpose."

When Emilio returned to the office, Leonardo and Valeria were talking about the memories they had just peeked into.

"Have you made any progress?

"Valeria has just peeked into your memory. It's more likely that Robin's memories have something to do with the red robes."

"The red robe... What the hell's the point...?

Sitting at the clerk's desk, he takes the pen and organizes the information.

A group of red robes, a different world, a strange woman...?

"How was Millie, by the way?

When asked by Leonardo, Emilio remembers what happened earlier and dyes her cheeks.

Leonardo frowned.

"Hey, why are you blushing there? I don't suppose you've done anything wrong in this situation!

"Absolutely not!

Emilio, stared at with her frozen, deadly eyes, denies it with all her strength.

And I remember Miriam's half-brother on the way to her room.

"It may not be relevant, but I'm a little concerned about Ivan's movements."

"Your Highness Ivan? Something wrong?

"I met you earlier on my way to the Red Tama Palace, but I knew why about Miss Alessia. Because of the kidnapping of an unmarried prostitute, I haven't announced it anywhere yet. He said he had his chamberlain look into it, but it would be difficult to do so in such a short time, as there would be a clamping order for anyone but him."

"Sure, but what's the purpose?

Assuming that Ivan may be pulling the thread behind him, we can see the intention behind this kidnapping. But when he realized it, Emilio deeply regretted his actions so far.

"If Ivan had anything to do with it, Miss Alessia could have been mistaken for Miss Miriam and abducted."

"What do you mean?

"Ivan said this to me. 'It seems that a young lady (...) was abducted by the (...) decree (...) who was married (...) to about (...) a person (...) within (...) a fixed (...) period'. But there is no such thing as a fiancée. It's just a rumor. Rumor has it that every time I took Miss Miriam in a carriage to the Caparoni Mansion, she was riding with me! He didn't know Miss Miriam with him was from the Caparoni family. I just thought I was Miss Alessia when I heard rumors that the Marquis de Caparoni was engaged!

I knew I had to be very careful with the Second Prince over the succession to the throne, but I was too close to being engaged. If he was right, Emilio could not regret being too careless to say that he was unconscious.

"I'm sorry, Leo, my reckless behavior may have put your precious sister in danger after all...!

Leonardo rushed to Emilio, who got up from the desk and finally knelt on the floor.

"No! I don't think I've decided that yet! The killers are the red robes. We still don't know if there's any connection to Lord Ivan! If you want to apologize, you need to understand everything, and you need to save Shea and her sister!

Grasping Emilio's chest violently and standing up, Leonardo feels happy.

"Valeria! Can't you summon (...) Shia like you summoned Millie to Beatrice's Mansion with the space transition!?

In response to Leonardo's question, Valeria lay her eyes down and shook her neck.

"Unlike space-time transition, if you summon someone from a remote location with the magic of space transition, it's impossible without ever meeting them. I'm sorry."

Emilio and Leonardo dropped their shoulders on Valeria's answer.

"Did you tell Millie about Lord Ivan?

"I haven't been informed. I can't say."

"That's a wise decision."

"For the first time, I'm going to explore from around Ivan. Leo, hit me from a group of red robes."

"Okay."

"It's a boat, so I can help you. Let's start by tracing the magic team's trail from the scene."

Emilio and Leonardo look down on the unsolicited offer from Valeria.

"Can you help me?!

"The red robes are after me, too. Besides, he liked it more than I thought. About her, Millie. Of course Leech and Ellie will be involved."

Valeria smiled brightly as the flame of anger swayed behind her rugged eyes.
