"─ You kept me waiting."

Sora, back in the reception room, was greeted by Chaff's serious face.

It was the first time that Sola had left the room on her way to the negotiating table, so she assumed something had happened.

"Have you done your errands?

"We're about to clean up. Let's talk in order."

While answering Chaff's question, Sola invites Cor and Sania, who were making him refrain in the hallway.

Yella rounds her eyes when she sees Col and Sania with a ton of research papers.

When Sola directed with her gaze, Sania placed several letters of inquiry in front of Yella.

"What the hell is this...?

"It's Yella's alibi as far as I can find out. It also rides a comparison with rumors. Have you noticed anything?

Sola urges me to take Yella's investigation.

I had been looking through it for a while, but gradually it turned into a serious look.

"... I'm not stopping by Grant Ease or Gransuno"

Sola nodded at Yella's words.

Among the information brought to me by Zend was a story about a silver daughter visiting Grant Ease and Gransuno.

A silver-haired daughter has indeed been witnessed in two cities as a result of information gathering through the boarding pavilion union ordered by Cor.

Yellah knew, however, at the time of the disturbance of the sale during the Viscountry, the city officials who ruled each of the two cities, Holger and Zasha.

They, who are also bourgeoisies, may take over the Federation of Chambers of Commerce against the backdrop of financial power and a large market called the City.

It's risky to draw into your people.

It is also more natural to keep your distance, given Yellah's dislike of injustice.

"After Chaff made his way to Zilla, I did some extra research. The day the silver-haired daughter was sighted in the city, Yella would have been in the city where the Count Kleinsert's house was located, wouldn't she?

This is the city where Sola spent up to the age of seven.

It is the former Count Kleinsert territory and far from Grant Ease and Gransuno on the old Viscount territory side.

Sora puts a schedule book sent by Zira's official next to the survey.

"Silver hair is rare within the kingdom. The number of rumors is abundant, but the distribution is skewed"

In addition to Yellah's destinations listed in the Schedule Book, there were towns and villages with frequent sightings.

Yellah shrugs, seeing as the names of each town and village.

Because during the blank period that Sola was in King's Capital, we found out who her discomfort was when she took in the Chamber of Commerce.

"Is this why you weren't in control?"

Silver-haired daughters are witnessed in towns and villages where there are suddenly chambers of commerce on Sola's side and vice versa.

Of course, Yella doesn't remember going out. Because it was a Chamber of Commerce that didn't make much sense strategically.

But if you narrow it down with the condition that a silver-haired daughter made an unnatural move in a frequently sighted place, the Chamber of Commerce, you see another intention.

"You're trying to connect the Gransuno and Grant East transport routes and commercial areas to the Federation of Chambers of Commerce."

"That's right. Behind him are the silver-haired daughters, followed by city officials Zasha and Holger. Probably going to take over the Federation of Chambers of Commerce"

Even in the disturbance of the sale, the Chamber of Commerce set ablaze by Zasha and Holger was aiming to expand the commercial area.

Sora crushed my plan, so I guess I took such a roundabout.

"Just picking up rumors confuses me with Yella's sightings and makes me confused. I guess some of it worked deliberately to catch my eye."

Listen to Sora and Yella, and Chaff frowns.

"I mean, is Sir Sola's faction or the Federation of Chambers mixed with the Chamber of Commerce where Zasha and Holger breathed?

Sola and Yella snort all together.

An unspecified number of traitors are lurking their breaths in both factions, shaping a third force.

"There are other problems. It's about His Majesty the King."

The King has repeatedly informed Sola to acquiesce to the existence of the Zira Chamber of Commerce Federation.

But I don't think the royal family, panting in financial difficulties, will actively support Yella's plan to come true.

But there was a word in the letter from Prince Wang that touched on the person who had brought the story to the king.

"─ The letter said that the official had brought the story. But Yella is an official."

"Yes, and if you falsify your position against His Majesty, you will be guilty of perjury."

Take over Sola's words and Yella will supplement them.

In other words, the person the King is putting on his shoulders will be someone who can serve as an official and influence the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Federation.

Headed by an old man who is Yellah's father-in-law and Zillah's town official,

"My father-in-law has no influence over the Federation of Chambers of Commerce from the beginning. I also represent you as an official."

Yella defends her stepfather.

Nor does Sola think that Zira's town official is the culprit.

If he did, he would have already assassinated Yellah and reigned at the head of the Chamber of Commerce coalition.

It would also not be enough financially to keep the Federation of Chambers of Commerce in hand.

"I mean, the person who brought the story to His Majesty is Zasha and Holger?

While Chaff arms up and thinks, he raises the question.

Sora nodded quietly.

"I suppose you bragged to Your Majesty that you would use the Chamber of Commerce that you snuck into to take over the Federation of Chambers. His Majesty thought financial difficulties could improve and indirectly manipulate the Federation of Chambers of Commerce"

Hearing Sora's reasoning, the reception room faces recognized the seriousness of the situation.

But Sora goes on and on.

"Yellah's presence will be the biggest obstacle for Holger and Zasha to take over the Chamber of Commerce coalition. No matter how many intermediaries we send in, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce can cause internal division unless Yella is eliminated."

Yella's remarkable ability to bring together the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, albeit in a consultative system, is immense.

Yellah's presence is too much in the way to completely manipulate the Federation of Chambers of Commerce.

It will be possible to repaint the force map over time.

But the nobles are beginning to jeopardize the Federation of Chambers of Commerce.

There are no ex-childs or ex-children who are crushed by pressure while things are going on for a long time.

The most efficient means would therefore be chosen.

"Assassination."

Sora speaks heavily.

"Probably would put on some sort of disguise. I can't imitate the mud on His Majesty's face directly. We should leave room for excuses."

Yella nodded with a slightly blue face, agreeing.

Chaff, staring into the air with a sharp eye, opens his mouth.

"Does Your Majesty expect an assassination to take place?

"I didn't, I guess. If Yella is assassinated and the Federation of Chambers and His Majesty join hands, the killer will be apparent to everyone's eyes"

But I can't seem to afford to be sending a letter to the king.

Looking at the current situation from the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Yella, the representative, turned to the home of Sola, the enemy.

Indeed, until you send a letter to the King and it returns, concealing Yella in the crossport will prevent the assassination.

But what will happen to the Federation of Chambers of Commerce if the representatives sent among the enemies do not return?

It would be och to suspect counterfeiting even if I sent out a letter.

By now, it's even possible that the demma of Yella's assassination is flying over.

"If we get Yella to Zilla safely, we win... but we don't have enough escort power."

"Why don't you just have Zira turn the mercenary around?

Chaff suggests with a strange face, but Yella shook her head next door.

"There are enough intermediaries in the Federation of Chambers of Commerce. It would be reasonable to assume that they are also mixed with mercenaries. Trusted personnel and should rush through to Zira as quickly as possible"

Convinced by Yella's thoughts, Chaff sees Felix standing behind him.

Felix, who received his gaze, strained his chest just to leave it to him.

Chaff turns back to Sola.

Inhaled deeply, Chaff poured a serious look into Sola.

Sir Sola, I'll be your escort.

Sola narrowed her eyes to identify.

Most of Sola already had an answer.

"I got it."

With words, Sola sheathed out the bronze sword on her hips and offered it to Chaff.
