Santairiku Eiyuuki

Well, around noon the next day.

Erkür and Gregorius began talks.

I was supposed to be in the morning, but Gregorius got hungover...

As a result, it was postponed until noon.

Now, reflecting on the fact that just about too much Elquille has been done, I revise my previous disrespect, and with courtesy...

There was no such thing as a ball to deal with, and de rude and friendly attitude remained intact.

Gregorius holds on to his bumpy, aching head...

I was dealing with this terribly ugly emperor.

There's a reason he wasn't angry with Erkür.

That's...

"Well, that's good."

"Me and Gregorius are your friends!

"If that's about it, I'll forgive you!!

Because it was incredibly tolerant.

In this meeting, Gregorius aimed to raise his status at least as much as the original princess witch (Medium).

If I leave it to that little girl named Cecilia, the Mesian Church will be ruled by Emperor Lemuria.

But if you leave it to me, I'll make the Mesian Church grow into an organization enough to tell that Lemurian Emperor Gatsun.

Please, have a clean vote!!

It was in Nori that he persuaded the Cardinals and clergy everywhere to have a coup d 'état and become pope.

I can't get back the words that came out of my mouth once.

The same degree of status as a princess witch (Medium) is the minimum condition for her aspiration to be able to cross with Emperor Lemuria.

This negotiation was thought to be difficult.

But...

"That is why all the rights, duties and rights that the princess witch (Medium) had shall be handed over as such to the Pope...... May I?

"Hmmm... there is only one princess witch (Medium) in the Mesian world who is equal to me. But now that the princess (Medium) position is vacant, it must be filled. Let us acknowledge that the Pope inherits the position of Princess Witch (Medium)"

Elquille nodded lightly.

And... they also exchange signatures.

Gregorius has clapped himself out.

Because a man named Erkühl was a man with strong self-esteem and seldom conceded, and Todoris Todrianus, one of this man's brains and taking on diplomatic negotiations in one hand, was regarded as very troublesome.

But why don't you open the lid?

Elquille just snorts so lightly that she wonders if she really understands this story, except for being a wuss.

And Todoris is just smiling at Nico in the back, too.

I don't trust rumors.

Gregorius decided that Erkühl was capable of war but had no bargaining power.

If you think calmly, you are a young man to the extent that you are a little over twenty.

Including myself, I feared too much...... Gregorius reflected.

"Well... actually, I have a favor to ask of you, too. Gregorius, will you listen to me?

"You have to listen to me before I can judge you... what is it?

Gregorius smiled.

Even though the other person accepted it in two replies, it doesn't make any difference that they gave in.

I was willing to accept it if it was rough.

"Can you let Kronos Krollius go first? The truth is, I'd say Cecilia... but that would be hard. If I don't at least bring back Kronos Krollius, my face will be crushed."

I see...

Gregorius thought a little.

Gregorius also hears that a man named Erkühl had been asked by his lifetime Millenia Peter to back Cecilia and Kronos Krollius.

Surely things like being executed both of us like this aren't good for him.

"Even Cecilia wouldn't have a problem if she disappeared, would she? If Cecilia dies, it equals no Kronos Krollius influence or anything else.... Our Lucanos Lucarios and Kronos Krollius are big best friends. I still think he'll be sad if he dies."

Lucanos, who had listened to Elquille and had refrained at his side, had his face drawn.

Because Lucanos hates Chronos.

But there is no way to deny the monarch's words here, and the temper distorts his expression...

Likewise I asked Gregorius to bow his head.

(Hmmm...... certainly has no influence on the current Kronos Krollius. But the man's political skill is troublesome. There is a risk of being rolled back. Now what...)

But here, a face of Cecilia appeared behind Gregorius's brain.

So far Cecilia hasn't shown herself succumbing, and even after she peels off her nails, she taps her reduced mouth.

Beating me in the face or in the stomach won't stop staring at me.

(That little girl is still rebellious... probably because Emperor Lemuria thinks she can help. I'm assuming the Prince of the White Horse will come to help... Kuck, isn't he cute? What face would you look like if you found out the prince of that favor had truncated you...)

Sounds interesting.

Gregorius accidentally had a wild grin.

"It would be good...... to free Kronos Krollius. Instead, I ask you to give up Cecilia Peter"

"Oh, okay. Gregorius, I'm glad you're a discerning man."

Erkühr smiled.

And...

"One more thing. Cecilia is under suspicion of witchcraft... but I actually lent her a few books. Some of them are very valuable. I want to collect it, so take me to the place where her personal belongings are kept."

"... if you tell me the title of the book, I'll send it to you later?

"I don't like being touched by books with my filthy hands."

That's what Elquille said.

Gregorius is just as frustrated with this...

"... aren't witch hands dirtier than mine?

Then Elquille...

I laughed holding my belly.

Laughter echoes all over the room.

"No, I'm sorry... Gregorius, because your joke was so funny"

"... would be good. I'll show you."

Gregorius is frustrated yet...

I think that if I get angry here, the negotiations I've had will be wasted, and I can handle it.

Because of this, he admitted everything in a good mood.

I'm in trouble if I'm in a bad mood here and it's all repeated.

Gregorius was the one who wanted to wish you home sooner than done the errand.

I don't want to have any more conversations with this rude man.

"These are the personal belongings of the witch, seized from the witch's room."

"I see, I see..."

Gregorius guided Elquille to the warehouse where Cecilia's personal belongings were kept.

Cecilia's personal belongings were only books, minimal clothes, and small pieces of furniture.

Elquille took the book, about five books from a pile of packed books.

And look around...

Find a tea set and hold that too.

"That's it. Thank you, Mr. Gregorius. You were a good person to talk to."

"No… I am also relieved that His Majesty Erkühr understands the conversation."

That day's talks are over...

The next morning, Erkühl was to return to his home country.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

Cecilia exhales roughly.

There were tears in its eyes.

The only nail left is the thumb of my left foot.

I was stripped of two pieces for not being stripped yesterday.

"Hang it up."

Standing from the restraint chair by order of Gregorius, he is suspended in chains that were down from the ceiling.

Adjusted to the height of being able to stand with critical nails first......

When the soldier let go of his hand, Cecilia's entire weight took the form of a pressing over his shackles and toenails.

"Ah, gu..."

Cecilia groaned in pain unexpectedly.

If you claw ahead with your toenails peeled off except the thumb of your left foot, it's only natural that it hurts.

Cecilia puts her hand into trying to lose the weight she hangs on her feet.

But there are limits to muscle strength.

Besides, he had been hung day after day, and had a blue and black mole under his shackles.

A shackle devours the mole...

To escape that pain, remove the force of your hand and transfer your weight to your nail tip.

Look at Cecilia, who keeps repeating it forever...

Gregorius had a satisfying grin.

"Ku, fu, ha... or God... I will watch"

Cecilia glanced at Gregorius, distorting her face in agony.

There was a neighborhood floating beneath my eyes due to lack of sleep, but I still lived in a strong light.

Gregorius grabbed Cecilia's cheek like that.

"Confess and you'll be easier. It'll be hard already, won't it?

"To this extent… we do not enter in pain"

Cecilia said back to her temperament.

But it was clear that it was lean and patient.

"Yes, yes... so to speak... Emperor Lemuria came here the other day."

To the words of Gregorius...

Cecilia's eyes swayed.

(Still right... kukuku...)

"You seem to recognize my status. I was approved by Emperor Lemuria."

"No way... no way..."

Similarly, Cecilia's eyes wobbled.

Silver eyes, which had resided in a strong light until earlier, began to cloud.

"Instead, Kronos Krollius liberated. I will stand in the face of Emperor Lemuria."

"Well, that's... good"

Cecilia's voice like that had mixed colors of relief and anxiety.

The relief is that the execution of Kronos has been avoided and the anxiety is......

(... what about me?

Cecilia goes from throat to chest...

Something, I felt something cold coming down.

"We have completed all the requirements. Emperor Lemuria leaves here tomorrow morning. I think I'll be able to do well with him.... you know what this means?

"Ah... oh, no... it shouldn't..."

"It's a fact. You were abandoned. [M] So that's it for today. Tomorrow is just the twentieth day, the last finger. Immediately afterwards...... get to full interrogation. Be prepared."

Just leave Cecilia in tears quietly...

Gregorius left.

Later, only the sound of sobbing sounded.
