The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight's favorites

It's rewarding to have a good young squad member. When I see them growing up during practice, I also feel like I'm being pinpointed for something that I don't have. Gilbert waved his sword, confirming the strength of the attack aid magic.

"How are you today?"

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Raise the corner of your mouth without relaxing the power of your right hand holding an overlapping sword. The left hand used magic to hold the other, forming a defensive wall. I wave my sword once to get away from the crew trying to fly over it. The crew, pointing at the tip and aggressively distanced themselves, changed their posture and headed back towards Gilbert.

In 2nd Platoon training, Gilbert used magic. It is a training for the men in battle against the Magic Knight, and for Gilbert himself. The two of us are quite bony today. Especially one of them was a member of the team who advanced to the semi-finals in joint training about two months ago. Gilbert also feels better when he holds his sword with joy.

"─ ─ Gilbert, it's a customer!

Exactly the moment I tried to meet again, Arbel's sharp voice stopped. Gilbert, who was used to it, turned his back on the two men he had been facing and put his sword in his sheath. The crew stood there like they were applauded.

Captain, who are the guests?

Remove the handkerchief and wipe off the sweat. Trainees rarely bring good news. Arbel was also moody when he walked in with wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Special Forces. I'm asking you again."

The task force reports directly to the King and has as its main task the stabilization of the country. When Gilbert was summoned, the investigation of some case was often the main request.

When Gilbert joined the Knights of the Guard, his magic strength and traits invited him to join the task force. However, Gilbert chose the second platoon to work with Mathias, who had interacted since then. It seems unusual to refuse an invitation to the task force, which unconsciously damaged their self-esteem. Since then, Gilbert has known that his men don't like the strong task force that hits 2nd Platoon.

"─ ─ I see. Captain, please continue my training."

"Okay. It's gonna be late, and I don't mind going straight home after today!

"Thank you and good work."

Saying hello to the entrance to the workout yard, two members of the task force stood. They check on Gilbert and lower their heads.

"I'm sorry to have called you, Marquis Forster. Thank you for your cooperation."

Gilbert nodded silently to an inorganic voice.

There is a court in the north on the grounds of the royal castle and a detention center underground. The interrogation will take place in the basement interrogation room. In the conference room in front of him, Gilbert was to hear an explanation of the incident.

"There is an Elatos infiltrator in the Imperial Castle's interior and we have secured it. However, I didn't break my mouth during repeated investigations ─ ─"

The task force member who was explaining looked down on him uncomfortably. Elatos is a country bordered to the south by this country. There's been a lot of bloodshed, and there's just been a fight on the border lately.

─ ─ Elatos. What do you want to know? "

Gilbert was tasked with investigating unspeakable criminals and proceeding with the investigation. The Secret Service cannot refuse to report directly to the King, even if he is a nobleman. In this country, Gilbert was the only one who could read the sway of magic.

"Purpose and collaborators. It appears to have been undercover for weeks, so there may be a high-ranking ally."

Read through the materials provided. It contained information on the circumstances of the current arrest and the information obtained from the previous investigation. I hardly seem to have broken my mouth.

"I understand."

After reading a few pages of material, Gilbert put his right finger between his eyebrows. Long time no see. Concentrate and be mindful. Intentionally placed emotions far away.

Enter the interrogation room after the stenographer. The infiltrator was sitting in a chair in a disgraceful manner despite being captured.

"What, I'm not going to tell you ─ ─"

A man with a raised face meets his eyes. The man looked at Gilbert and opened his eyes. Gilbert puts a provocative smile on his face to make it easier to understand.

"Do you know me? Talk fast."

Gilbert approached the man and grabbed the handcuffed wrist without saying anything.

─ ─ Hih

A man wanders his gaze. Many know Gilbert's abilities, but only some know his details. However, many people listen to rumors when their hearts are read and are somehow afraid. It was convenient at this time. Make sure the stenographer has a pen in the corner of his vision and open his mouth to sort the incoming video and audio.

"Who sent you to this country?

The man shook his neck to the left and right with full force. However, the flow of consciousness is honest, and a brilliant room, a man on his knees, and another well-dressed man are reflected in the brain. A well-dressed man lined up the good words, and the man was exalted by them. Gilbert looked familiar with the man. Speak with confidence and with a low voice.

"The Second Prince. I've seen him before."

"Oh no...."

Murmur leaks from the man's mouth. The corner of the man who was doing the shorthand rose to the change of the man who had been silent until then.

"But poor thing. Was it discarded?"

If you're serious, you won't let them infiltrate the enemy's castle alone. The way of kneeling in the footage was not for knights or soldiers, but for nobles against royalty in Elatos. From a physical point of view, it does not seem to be a very strong person.

"Stop me ─ ─"

Man is afraid of exposing himself. It doesn't matter to Gilbert, who is killing and confronting emotions, but it will matter to him. Gilbert knows as knowledge that it is more intolerable than torture inflicted on the body.

"Are you ready to talk to me?

What Gilbert saw in the first place cannot be used as evidence. The man didn't know it, but he needed to testify for himself.

That's ─ ─

In the meantime, information about men comes in one after the other. I had already seen what the task force initially told me about the purpose and my allies, but I didn't say anything about it. Is it the family that comes to mind now?

"I'm not hypocritical, but your memories don't lie. Is the complex for my brother the trigger? It's awful."

The man's complexion changed. What was floating there was a more decisive color of fear ─ ─ Gilbert strengthened his grip on his wrist.
