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

◇

The time went back a little, and Emilio, the owner of the room, was frustrated in Emilio's office in the jade palace of the royal castle.

"You still don't know where Miriam is!? Oh, I should have kept more guards at the Red Tama Palace!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Among several palaces built to enclose courtyards with Beatrice mansions, the Red Ball Palace, built to entertain guests, was followed by the royal Kongo Palace, which was heavily guarded.

However, that led to alarm this time.

As soon as Emilio arrived at the Red Tama Palace, she noticed something unusual.

All the guards who were handing Miriam over near the guest room are somehow somewhere else.

When I checked immediately, I was told that Emilio's name had instructed me to change the position, but of course, I didn't give such instruction.

All the guards in the vicinity of the guestroom were instructed to relocate to a different location, and as a result, a completely unsecured location was deliberately created in the Red Tama Palace with a strict security system.

And as he hurried to the room, the loved one who was supposed to be there, who was supposed to welcome him home with a smile, disappeared negligently. ――――

--Concentrate

It can be opened at the same time as the door is knocked. No one but Leonardo comes into the office of Emilio, the First Prince, without waiting for his permission to respond.

"How were you!? Do you think we can use space transfer?

Beatrice was trying to force a summons from a remote location due to the usual spatial shift, so he asked with a single hope, but Leonardo shook his head sideways with a sinking expression.

"Unfortunately, it seems that measures have been taken and I can't do anything about it. Besides, trouble happened."

"What?

Prince Ivan was abducted.

Emilio echoed Leonardo's words.

No way...

"Probably going to create a fait accompli. The more rumors spread, the harder it will be for you to put up with your fiancée, even if nothing happened. But if the rumors say we're getting engaged again, it's acceptable. If I can get rid of you, I won't be deprived of my right to inherit the throne, so I'll get the throne and the daughter of Caparoni. That's what the beloved Duke thinks."

"... shit!

----Rattling

There was a noise from the window, and when I looked at it, there was some paper stuck in the window.

"What?

Strangely, Leonardo checks the paper.

Suddenly you look surprised.

"Leo? What does it say?

"Look at this..."

Looking at the paper handed over, it was written that, in the Duke of Santangelo's territory, the address of the mansion, about half an hour away from the King's Capital, and the fact that those imprisoned in the dark at night would be taken out of the premises, and finally - "G”.

"Can you trust me? What's G...?

At that time, a captain of the Caparoni family reported that Alessia had arranged for Caparoni's spy.

Fortunately, Leonardo instructed the spy to scout the location written in the letter, and a few hours later, he received a report based on the people in and out of the red robe and the surrounding situation, which apparently seemed to be really trapped there.

"G is... definitely Gilberto Dalla di Ferrine."

Eleonora checks the letter that arrived in Emilio's office while exploring the magical remnants of the letter. Slightly, I feel the same power as my own silver dragon.

And I remember the silver hair and the gold-eyed young man I met the other day.

The day Emilio and Miriam were attacked, the man was certainly on the roof near the scene.

But it didn't seem like it was meant to help. With a complex expression that seemed to mix without pity and contempt, there was blood dripping from the hand that was grasped so white that it was hurt by its strength.

When I noticed Eleonora approaching, I flew the wind blade with no reserve motion.

Eleonora, which is easy to avoid if it is released by ordinary humans, suffered an unexpected delay and injured her arm.

But that alone made the man, Gilberto Dalla di Ferrine, disappear in space.

At that time, the hood I was wearing came off, and for a moment I saw silver hair and golden eyes.

"There seems to be something going on with that man. If there is any information from the Caparoni detectives that they are likely to be imprisoned in this mansion, we should head there as well. Of course, we will continue our search separately, taking into account the possibility of moving around again."

As they nodded to Emilio's suggestion, they began preparations to get to the Mansion.
