Ring Ring

Shiori was relieved that his apology was accepted lightly. I thought I had to apologize enough to knock you down, but I could have been forgiven a lot easier than I expected. He still had a good tactic of 'getting out poorly'.

But whatever it is, this will ease the severity of the interrogation somewhat. That's what I think, a little relief.

"For now, Shh, sit down. If we don't start interrogating..."

A blonde knight, who should have been proud, gave instructions to Shiori in a wandering tone.

I decided it was going to be a bad operation, so I honestly follow Shiori as well. Besides, his eyes are swimming around, and he doesn't have much of a backlash right now.

Two simple wooden chairs that were placed across the street. When Shiori sat on the other side, the blonde knight sat down on one of the remaining.

There are two other knights in the small room, one standing on the wall with paper and a pen. And the other closed the iron door of the room, as well, securely lined up at the wall.

One cough, the blonde knight opens his mouth.

"Well, first give me your name... oh, tell me"

"Shiori,. Ciori Umemoto"

"Siori, or..."

The blonde knight repeated the name of the poetry weave small enough to be sure.

And then I raised my gaze, and once again turned to the poetry weave,

"I'm Shail Killing. Call me Shile."

Suddenly I started introducing myself.

I didn't think the blonde knight would bother to tell me her name, so Shiori eats lightly for being named for intimacy.

The other knights standing on the wall also looked at each other in astonishment.

"Oh, yes... Mr. Shile"

Calling his name Nanny, Shail nodded satisfactorily. And keep asking questions.

"You don't seem to be born in this country, but where are you from?

"Uh..."

What is the best answer? Shiori bothered her head.

I don't really want to lie in this situation. Because I'm not a good mouther, and if I find out even one lie, my position could be even more dangerous. 'I didn't do anything. It's a wrongful crime,' until the legitimate claim would be suspected of being false.

or so, I honestly wondered if it would be a good idea to say "I come from another world". I don't know if you can believe me as light as Roche, and on the contrary, they might think I'm a crazy guy.

I thought for a few seconds that I would be suspicious even if I kept my mouth shut,

"From, Nihon. on the eastern edge...... a very small country"

I tried to say something like that. There seem to be a lot of countries in this world that don't exist as much as the Earth, so I thought they'd say, "There's no such country."

I'm not lying, but when I saw the knight on the wall running the pen and taking notes, the heart of the poetry weave quickened my beat plainly. If they look it up later, they'll find out there's no such thing as a country as Nihon in this world.

"Nihon. It's a country I've never heard of."

Shile squeaks.

Shiori decided to set it up in her mind, trying to make it a country that was too small to be on the map, while causing a cold sweat.

But it's only a matter of time before Shiori decides to shake a different topic from herself because it's only a matter of time before she gets bored when she gets stuck deeply with the story of her origins like this.

"Um, I want to hear why I was brought here. Me, what are you suspecting?

The voice becomes stiff and the expression becomes serious. Another tension in a different way than when you deceived me to come from.

Shile, who was swimming his gaze with Soissois when he looked at this one, also looked back at Shiori with a serious face.

"You really don't have any idea, do you?

"No. Absolutely."

"Right..."

Shail nodded lightly, slowly beginning to explain.

"What is being put on you is the suspicion that you have manufactured poison. In detail, in conspiracy with Roche Ghoul… or was instructed by him to manufacture a dangerous abortion drug that also threatens the life of the mother, and the suspicion of selling it to others"

"Datai, medicine......?

"You know what I mean when I say abortion pills? I mean, to force a child in his belly to fall... a pill to kill the fetus."

Tummy, children, kill.

Combining those three words, I could understand the meaning of abortion drugs. But at the same time, Shiori's face turns blue.

"Oh, I've never made a pill like that!

I always keep birth control pills in the store. That's one of those drugs that is popular with couples and others who don't want their kids any more and surprisingly well sold.

But I don't know about abortion pills...

"Even if you never made it, wouldn't you be dealing with it in the store? That man... have you ever seen Roche Gould make drugs like that?

To Shire's inquiry, Shiori shook her neck beside her in silence. It's just ecstasy and vigor when it comes to the suspicious drugs we deal with in the store, and that's legal too. Nor did Roche secretly make unfamiliar drugs.

"Then it doesn't have to be an abortion pill. Haven't you ever heard of Roche Gould selling illegal drugs?

Shile's attitude seemed to have eased against Shiori, but remains harsh against Roche.

Shiori shook her head again and Shail changed the question.

"How long have you been working under that guy?

"Uh... I think it's only about February"

"Oh my God, I don't know"

After saying it as if he was relieved for some reason, Shail whispered.

"So... you're not that close to Roche Gould yet, are you? I mean, it's... it's just a relationship between a boss and a subordinate, an employer and an employee, not a man and a woman."

I was confused for a moment, but Shiori immediately returned "of course". I've gotten a lot closer to Roche, and I feel like I've been with her longer than two months, but it doesn't change the relationship between my boss and his subordinates.

"Right."

Everyone in the room - both the poetry weave and the two remaining knights - tilted their necks at Shire, who looked slightly delighted. You realize what's going on around you being pompous, Shail rushes to fix it.

"Come on, it's important to know if you and Roche Gould are close. If they're in love with each other, they'll make a false statement. But if it's only been two months since we met, it's unlikely you'll be able to cover that man."

"Oh, I see..."

Shiori replied vaguely. I'm slightly confused by the way Shail said it as if he would defend himself.

"But the cover and nothing... I've never really seen Roche make dangerous abortion drugs. He's innocent too."

Shiori complained hung up. And go on.

"I mean, how did you get Roche in the first place? Where you sell abortion pills, did anyone see it?

"Right, I have to explain that. What shall we start with? How familiar are you with the royalty of this country?

"Not at all. I don't know much about this country yet... but I do know that there is one princess."

butt into the abrupt word 'royalty'. I wonder what the hell that has to do with us being caught.

Shail nodded back before continuing ahead.

A few hours later, when Shiori, who had been investigated, was resting alone in the detention room, Crust was still at work in the royal castle just outside it.

Stand in the hallway while somehow gazing at the moonlighted view of the courtyard. But when the large door on the side quietly opened, Crust turned to you and welcomed the person who came out of it - the King.

"How was it?

Crust asks.

"I'm recovering a lot. Mothers and children are no longer in danger."

The king spoke with a strange but reassuring voice. The crust breathes a ho when he hears the answer.

When the king said, "Mother and child," he meant his second wife, the concubine, and the children of his belly. Now the crusts stood in front of the door of the bedroom where the concubine was resting, between the refrains.

There was tingling tension in the castle because of an incident three days ago, but if the victim, the concubine and the fetus, were to recover, this tense air would also ease a little bit.

"I'm relieved. And the Queen... the prince in your belly is safe."

When Crust said, the king nodded deeply as well. It is found in the fortune of the red-haired sorcerer Garrell that it is the boy who is in the belly of the concubine.

The baby is the only boy who draws the blood of the present king and is the future king. That precious life was nearly lost before it was born.

The disturbance occurred three days ago. It begins with a visit to the side queen, one maid serving the queen.

And she offered her tea leaves in a beautiful box, and said unto the maid of the concubine.

"This is a gift from the Queen. Tea leaves specially taken from exotic countries, with plenty of nutrition needed for women of weight. Don't drink it for your side queen's health."

You can't leave a gift from the queen unattended. The samurai just served it at tea time in the afternoon, along with baked sweets. And the queen rejoiced in the queen's care, and put her mouth on the teacup without hesitation.

Incidentally, there is always a poisonous viewer in the meal of the queen who is carrying the king's inheritance, and that is no exception to a gift from the queen.

The concubine drank tea after poisoning, but it was bitter and never delicious.

The lady of the concubine,

"It was nutritious, so it must be like half a pill."

So I added sweet jam to the tea, but it still didn't fit the tongue of the concubine.

"Adding sweetness won't make the strong bitterness go away. Although I say it's painful on the mouth of good medicine, if I keep drinking this tea, my chest is going to get worse. I apologize to the queen, but leave this behind sneaky."

Eventually, the concubine threw away her tea after just two sips. But that decision will save her own life later.

Later in the night, when the poisonous viewer complained of abdominal pain, the concubine began to suffer from the same symptoms.

However, unlike the immediate painful poisonous viewer, the debilitation of the pregnant concubine was severe. There was a risk of miscarriage for a while.

But there have also been diligent visits around, and now, three days later, the doctor has recovered to the point where he can say, "There are no more problems".

Both the concubine and the fetus were safe, but the perpetrators of the incident must be pursued.

When the Kingsguard knights of the side queen detained and questioned the queen's maiden, who had brought her suspicious tea leaves, she admitted her sins unexpectedly lightly. Apparently, he even took action ready to be a capital offense.

samurai said.

"I did this on my own. The queen knows nothing. It doesn't matter at all."

As if to corroborate the statement, the queen, who heard about the incident, shook herself in surprise. It is possible, of course, that it is an act, but the fact is, there was no evidence of any involvement in the case from around the queen.

In the first place, I was waiting for the Queen and the king's heir to be born. Even if that's not my child.

The queen was in a difficult shape for a child to form. One child finally given after a long time of encouragement for the creation of a child, a girl who does not succeed the throne.

Women are not allowed to be kings in this country.

She was a queen and king who made an effort to give her a boy after that, but she was never blessed with a child except for the first girl.

And a year ago, the king decided to welcome his second wife. Because the queen has grown older and it has become more difficult to give birth safely.

In this country, where polygamy is allowed only for royalty, the king has never attempted to relate to any other woman before, except, for one thing, because he loved the queen.

The queen also loved the king wholeheartedly, but had a strong desire "to let his blood inherit this kingdom" and advised the king from herself to take a second wife.

Of course, there would have been all sorts of glitches, but the queen, with the king, warmly welcomed the young side queen to the castle.

Because of such a history, the kings and queens' friendships, as well as the kings and side queens, the queens and side queens' friendships, were working fine. It may also be significant that the concubine was a humble and careful person.

Not so much. The queen possessed the king's son, but it was the queen, not anyone else, who rejoiced more than anyone when she found out that he was a boy.

Because many of the people in the castle know such circumstances, few people suspected that the queen was involved in this incident. Even the poisoned side queen does.

The incident was committed by the Queen's maid alone. That was almost definitive.

The knights are now looking into the motives for the samurai's offense and the route to obtaining dangerous abortion drugs.

I have a special permission to sell abortion drugs in this country, but the drugs used in this case are dangerous and illegal that could also take the life of the mother, so if anyone sells drugs to the murderer's maid, that person will be held guilty without question. Even if you were licensed to sell abortion drugs.

"It is time for His Majesty to rest..."

To the weary looking king, Crust offers softly. Be attentive ever since the incident, and worry about the Lord, who has barely taken a break.

But when the king shook his head loosely,

"Back to the office. It's time for Otto or Shire to come and report the interrogation. Let's rest when it's done."

"Okay."

Crust nodded, following the king who proceeded down the hallway.

Otto, Shire is the name of the captain and deputy captain of the Kingsguard of the Queen. Crust, deputy captain of the king's Kingsguard, also knows them well. Because we meet each other frequently in the castle, and sometimes we work together to hit a mission.

Besides, there are times when I am in Shire when I am "close to home" and "of the same age", and I have known him well for a long time.

but we're not close enough to be childhood friends.

The crust is familiar with him, but it seemed from Shile that he hated him for some reason. It has been since I was a child.

With regard to this incident, Shire and the Kingsguard knights of the concubines are at the centre of the investigation, and Krust is not involved in any interrogation of the culprits, etc. Just keep escorting the king, as usual.

But if it had been involved, Shiori might not have had to reveal the night in a small holding cell this evening.
