The Queen's Cosmetician

Chapter 7: The Treacherous 1

When the die woke up, the room was already deserted, leaving him alone. Inside the cramped room, the light of day slips by the window. Perhaps the sun is in the sky. By the measure of time, it was only a short time since I fell asleep.

I wake up on a futon and fall lightly on my head. The fatigue that clung to her was not something she could get rid of sooner, but her thoughts were still much clearer.

Careful not to hit his head on the upper berth, Die put his foot on the floor. Wear your shoes, walk one step, and open the only window in the room.

The [Demon Use] bird that was waiting outside slipped in and began to whisper a report to the die with a long-awaited face.

The dress was finished soon.

As the die went out into the hallway, Brenda stood up and waited.

“I'm sorry, I slept in.”

"No. I hope you'll sleep until there's something..."

Since dying in Tartarza, Die's health has dropped a lot. I guess I couldn't hide my guts all the way here. Grateful for the guard's attention, Die urged her to walk out.

Ask Brenda as she heads to the small conference room where everyone is supposed to be gathered.

“Did you find anything?”

"Yes, it's very quiet..."

The people in front of the main gate didn't move?

“It looks like you're working on something, but until you know what it is, you're still working on it.”

Everyone in the conference room except Dadaan was present. Fabian raises his hand lightly, holding a copper vessel with steaming water in one hand.

Oh, it looks like you slept.

"And Mr. Fabian."

Each other's faces are refreshed. Claire and Grimoire refrain not only from Fabian, but also from his side. And Yubert and Randy, the die guards. It seems that the plan to take a break was correct.

Oh, the die's up, too.

D'Artagnan appears behind the die with a loud footsteps. Behind Dadan stood an unfamiliar boy with a nervous face, but he was never introduced. D'Artagnan said with impatience.

"The main gate moved. It's going to be a bad thing."

Has it collapsed?

"No, not yet, but they......"

Don, I'm sorry.

The sound of the ground shook the earth.

The die stood unexpectedly on the table nearby. It wasn't just the die. Everyone's putting their hands against their chairs and walls. The Knights are looking for an escape route or moving their gaze back and forth, anxiously.

Once again, the ground shook.

"What...?"

"They took the gunpowder out."

Daddy told me to throw up.

"Kayaku...? Gunpowder?"

It's supposed to be a substance that does not use sorcery and makes a mock explosion. I don't have much distribution. Because it is as susceptible to humidity as wood chips used in daily life, and because it causes an explosion with a small impact, it has high preservation properties and is significantly less convenient than magic characters and magic stones that are less malfunctioning. It seems to be a bit more common on other continents, but in view of the dangers, there should be permission from various countries to manufacture and handle it.

Unfortunately, the ground is roaring.

Dai questioned Da-dan.

Is this ground sounding like an explosion of gunpowder?

"Yeah. They were trying gunpowder when they were quiet..." I don't know where I got it from, but it's not good if it stays like this. "

(... I guess it's Perfilia...)

Detraut was considering every technique to replace sorcery. Because of him, he would have collected or disposed of the dangerous materials in the castle, but the leak could have been in the hands of the enemy. If it had been in their hands from the beginning, they would have used gunpowder to settle it before the die came.

Even if the defensive magic of the castle is strong, the crack in it can't be packed with gunpowder.

He said, "We need to move right away."

"That's what happened."

Even if we say we're moving, we haven't decided anything yet, have we?

Fabian's mouth sandwiched.

"We have a challenge." First, how do I get past the group that was trying to break into the Imperial Castle? Secondly, how do we get the Perfilian side to certify that we are not hostile? Third, how to secure Queen Serenity and Prime Minister Yerni and safely escape the capital. "

You don't have to think about number three.

Die answered Fabian.

No-supply ships are coming.

"Huh? I'm not listening." Where did it come from? "

It's Zemnam.

Die responded quickly, and Dadaan muttered in a sigh.

"It's Adam..."

Adam Auslund, the southern head of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry, who has been so impatient with Prime Minister Zemnam's sirens.

What's going on? Zemnam is on his way to Perfilia to retrieve the western queens on a huge ship owned by the association.

"Ahh, Seth said, is that because I'm going over there?"

Fabian groaned with a sinister face.

"I suddenly contacted you, and I'm coming later, so I wonder what you're talking about..." I've skipped too many words. "My magic teacher."

"Are you coming from Doppelgänger too?"

It looks like my majesty is coming too.

"Hah!? This donkey is in the middle of nowhere!?" What are you thinking? "

"Soldiers are coming too."

Daddy frowned and pushed silently at Dai's words.

"There is only one unsupplied ship, but it seems that it is carrying troops around the east side of the ship with fast legs." Then we will also send soldiers from the border - in the name of the Continental Congress, to conquer the capital of King Perfilia. "

The room calms down.

Randy spoke for everyone on the chest.

"W-what are you thinking, my lords..."

"It's easy. We're going to have a continental conference here."

While telling Randy, I thought the die was strange.

Conquering the capital of the kingdom of Perfilia in one country is a spark of war. But if, in the name of the governing bodies of the entire continent and in the name of the Queen's League, all the powerful queens will capture Perfilia, then this act of arbitrariness will cease to be barbaric.

It is justified as a military act to prevent chaos like in the Dark Ages.

If not destroyed, the Royal Castle of Perfilia will have plenty of capacity to receive the queens - not to mention food.

“I and Fabian are here to protect Queen Serenity and Chancellor Yerni, who need to be judged in the name of the Continental Congress, for their allegedly fraudulent status as Queens. We don't have to think about escaping. All we have to do is to protect them from those who want to kill them, and flee from them. You don't have to escape from the capital....."

I see.

Daddy nodded convincingly as his chin ruled.

Tell His Majesty Serenity the situation, and if we get away with it, we'll win.

But how do we get into the castle before they do?

Fabian moans, "That's the first place."

And then we need to get the Perfilian army to look away, right?

"I have an idea about these two things..."

Dai turned to Daddyn and asked.

Dadan, I need a flag.

Flag?

"Yes. Red... or white cloth." Materials do not matter. The size is about the size of a military flag... do you understand? "

If it's a big deal, I think Bevel will quickly prepare it for you, but I don't know how big it is.

"I understand."

Yubert raises his hand and stands up from his seat. The die breathed out in relief.

Well then, can you help Yubelle, including making it?

"How many bottles do you have?"

Die muted his thoughts. I want a number that can be seen from a distance, but I can't think of a specific number of bottles.

"... Yuvail, how many soldiers will take the lead and hold the flag when the army moves?"

"It depends on the size of the army..." Assuming a siege, if it's Del Ligueiria, it's from a platoon to a company size. It's about thirty people, and there are only three of them holding the flag. "

So, six times that?

What does Die want to do?

I want to make it look like the military has arrived first.

Haha, I get it.

It seems that you have read the idea of the die. Daddy laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"First of all, it's a cloth." Let's decide the size and number of bottles. "

I whispered my instructions to the boy that Dadan was with. He seems to be one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It seemed to be a signal to a busy bevel.

Daddy calls out to Yubert to encourage him to follow the boy. Die nodded in approval, aiming at Yubert.

Then Fabian-san can make official documents, right?

"Right now? Yeah, I can make it." I also have a set of tools with me.

"Can I have more than one sheet of the content I'm going to tell you?"

Die briefly stated the contents orally.

Fabian's mouth is slightly twisted.

"Ahh... I hope you won't be angry with the Church of Our Lady later."

"I'm not supposed to be angry with you, so it's okay."

There is confusion everywhere, but the organization that suffered the most from the incident involving the Pillar of Light is the Church of Our Lady. Since it was brought up to the magic device of the resurrection of the Saintess, the upper level, which was deeply connected to the destroyed Mazenburgh country, probably accounted for the majority of the radicals, and they were put out by Reina to the depths of the magic device.

"The remaining side should want to do things in a calm manner. I don't think it would be a bad deal to accept it after the fact.”

"Die, now, that's not how you turn your head..."

Blurred while Fabian instructed Claire to prepare an official document.

"Who educated the die?"

"Well, who could it be..."

Basic education is undoubtedly asma. A player in the flower street who holds three brothels after capturing the masters of Kaizen Yamashiro in Uchimachi. Without her education, I would have spent the first time in Missouri.

I learned how to work with Heath Livot.

At that point, it felt like there was something.

"Now, this is the last way to infiltrate..."

The die looked straight at Brenda.

Brenda straightens her spine in a nervous manner.

She laughed at such a die.

"Let's go head-on."

According to the scout Bebel showed, the main gate had not yet fallen. However, the rift spreads and it will not be long before it creates a clearance for people to pass through.

To buy time, Fabian and the others moved ahead. Yuvale and Randy will stay and join the Fabians later.

Including the flag, the members of the association who remained under the bevel were also involved. The harbor office has little sign of people, but it has a busy atmosphere.

Dai left the port with Brenda, led by Da-dan. The winter sea, which reflected the daylight, was as quiet a year ago as it had been from the tower of the Imperial Castle. Running on horses through the streets of the capital. Signs of people hiding behind warped rain doors. Scattered cobblestones of shattered pottery. An empty wooden box that has been laid flat. The smell of rotting fruits and animal manure mixed with the thick tide and throws up in the nose.

The flowing scenery just hurt my chest.

Daddan whispered that he was lying on his horse about the arrangement that looked straight at the main gate of the king's city.

Did you like it?

"... what do you want?"

If you just want to go inside, you and I could have done it, right?

At the base of Perfilia lies the entrance to the hidden passageway that leads to the royal castle.

Daddy knows one of the exact paths. Because D'Adan used his way to rescue the Die after he was captured during Perfilia's honorable visit.

When Die suggested a way forward, Fabian, who seemed to be faintly suspicious of the existence of the concealed passage, asked if there was any other way.

In addition to the road that led to D'Adan, Dai also knows another path.

But I don't choose those paths.

"I was told not to use it."

Dai smiled secretly at Da-dan's good judgment.

- Don't use the road.

If you wake up clear-headed, it is clear what the message from that man means.

Don't use the way out to the royal castle you know.

Dai tells Detraut what she and D'Adan know.

Have you sealed it off?

Or simply because it's dangerous.

“Who did you get the way from, Dadan?”

"That's...... oh, I see."

An old map with a secret route.

Daddy got it as part of his job from someone else. At the end of the job, Dadan could have been erased from his client.

What did not happen was that D'Adan himself ran around in disguise to figure out how to get out of Perfilia and slipped through the assassin's chase before he knew it.

There were people who had been searching the road to the Imperial Castle for several years.

There is no guarantee that it is irrelevant to this case.

Don, there was a loud explosion for a moment.

Almost there is smoke coming in. Then people started making noise. A pale green light is bouncing around the tightly closed gate to keep people away.

Magic characters engraved on the main gate doors and columns. It was already partly dark and partly sunk, but the rest quickly began to lose light - reminding Die of the fall of the magic device he saw underneath the city of Luglois.

(door opens)

Yes, it was the moment it was revealed to everyone.

"What the hell are you doing there!"

Fabian's voice echoed high in front of the main gate.

Let's go kill the queens now.

It's not a word to hang on to a group of weapons, as you can see at a glance.

Sure enough, when the three suddenly appeared in front of the castle gate and called out to the armed group, it was said that the excitement that finally broke the main gate was cold watering, and I looked back at Fabian and the others. It wouldn't have been like this if I had just called out, but I used the stone to loudly scream. There was a shock that sounded like a wake in the ear, and it was the reaction.

That precious, blinking time.

(This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous.)

Fabian repeatedly poisoned his chest.

A ruined, exotic city. I stand in front of a group headed to drop Hyun-kun's head, who was desperately trying to protect us, out of faith and indignation.

You shouldn't borrow Die's words, but it's not the foreign affairs officer's job.

A soldier or knight should be the one with the sword in his bloody eyes.

No, in the first place, it was a mess from the beginning.

But that's what Farby always does. He'll do something about it.

(I'll make it easy for you, Ruuna)

Protect and escape from anyone who might have been pretending to be a queen by riding alone into another country where civil war is a must. Moreover, the head is a makeup artist, and the number of guards is counted by finger counting. Recklessness is a good thing.

Yeah, it's like old times.

I was not accompanied by a leading foreign affairs officer or a position with a national emblem. I didn't have the authority of a queen.

In the first place, when there was no country.

Fabian, who was a cunning child, was in a big fight with a girl he knew.

Well, Fabian thought he could do it because he was a scary kid, but maybe not surprisingly.

Now, let's do the job assigned to us by the die.

It's a waste of time.

Wrapped in a dark green jacket that is meticulously sewn with thread of the same color as the fabric of the tree and the sword, stroking the hair that is jumping every day. Adjust the standing position so that the fine decorations and emblems engraved on the edges of the polished glasses shine brightly.

Fabian urged Claire by the side with her jaw, the face of a senior official who didn't think it was bad to let her wait for the opponent.

The other you're with, while Grimoire dominates, slowly expands the official document that Fabian just made.

Claire told the group in an exquisite voice as she showed them the white paper document.

"We were sent by the Continental Conference, composed of six countries representing the [Beast of the West], which was approved by Grand Duke Armandi Maisenbourg at the end of the Magic Dynasty." We are here after the sinners of the Church of Our Lady, who have brought chaos to the continent! "

The group in front of the main gate leaned their bodies toward the Fabians with a sneaky face.

Looking at the people who were ready to listen, Fabian was impressed by the die that would look at this situation from somewhere.

If we are here to secure the Queen, we and they will become enemies.

said Die.

'Let us turn to the side of the Church of the Holy Virgin to teach you that ye are deceived.'

"Holy Maiden, sinner of the Church...?"

Asked by someone, Fabian nodded to the eagle.

"We have information that sinners who conspired against many people in the name of the Church of Our Lady are lurking in this kingdom of Perfilia."

In fact, the officials of the Church of Our Lady who infiltrated the capital are causing extra chaos.

Not everything is a lie.

Fabian jammed high.

"Answer! Are there any of you who have come into contact with the word of the Church in the near future?"
