- Episode 11
The 5th Prince is a boy who made Hei nervous at the age of only 14.
Rather, Mubin thought that he might not have been able to hide his overflowing ambition because he was only 14.
One day, Hei had the same eyes as the emperor who drove the family to four limbs.
"I'm not one to shy away from being able to sit in the heir right now. If you don't know about politics, you just shut up."
"Uh-huh, Moobin-sama. Is that possible? His Majesty the 5th Prince seemed to have loved his sister, Princess Marisa."
Parker's back was aching for nothing, and he looked around. Far from finding a traitor, it was a conversation that could lead to treason if someone heard the wrong thing.
He couldn't even tell the Duke to shut up, so Parker asked the only being who could control Mubin to help him.
"Is that right, Leader?"
"......"
"Leader?"
However, Estio remained silent. He was originally on the quiet side, but this time he had a long period of silence.
How did Parker become ominous? Come to think of it, from the time he went to the banquet hall to the moment he returned to the glass garden, Estio didn't say a word. Even if he got out early in the middle, he didn't say anything for quite a long time.
"Come on."
The voice calling for the boss gradually creeped in. Mubin, who had Parker in front of him, clicked her tongue. Of course, he had no intention of disturbing Estio, who was lost in thought.
In the end, the cactus who did not see came out.
tock tock.
"......?"
When he touched the back of Estio's hand with the branch that killed the thorn, the reaction finally returned. The cactus, who received a puzzled gaze, twisted his torso and groaned.
"Please answer me. This makes him cry."
"Oh, I'm not crying!"
There was no one who listened to the cries of the weak joins.
"I'm sorry, Parker, would you mind repeating your question?"
"No, it's fine if you haven't heard. Rather, Leader."
"Yes."
"You haven't said anything since a while ago."
As Parker said as he scratched his cheek, Estio had an expression on his face that wanted to say something. Then Parker expressed it a little more directly.
"Hey, I'm worried that you've come across something troublesome."
'worry?'
Estio was engulfed in an unfamiliar feeling for a moment. It had been a long time since I had been worried about anyone other than the black cat Tsuki.
'Oh, it was. This was the feeling of 'worry'.'
The emotions felt by animals and the emotions felt by humans are not different. Even though I knew it, I inadvertently missed it.
Estio, realizing that the anxiety he had always felt from Tsuki, who had been hovering around with his tail raised proudly, was an emotion in the name of worry, put his palm on the nape of his burning neck. A strange heat warmed his chest.
It wasn't a bad feeling. He took a deep breath and then answered.
"It was more of a problem than a problem."
"Yeah? Is it a problem?"
"It's not a very pleasant story."
If you didn't want to hear it, I was going to bury it, but as soon as I said that, everyone seriously changed their posture and sat down.
"Please speak."
"Let's talk."
"I'll listen."
Estio was once again puzzled.
But now there was no reason to hesitate. He conveyed the information that the 5th Prince had flown through his mind to the party without modification.
Upon hearing of the fact that the 5th Prince not only had the ambition to ascend to the throne, but also threatened the entire Ignis guild with this as an excuse, Parker got up in contemplation and jumped up from his seat.
"He, he, that's a threat!"
"That's right. It's a threat."
Moobin muttered quietly with his arms crossed. His expression was languid, but life drifted like an angry beast over his black eyes.
"This is one, cute, I told you it was cute, but you've gone over the limit of foolishness, little prince."
Parker glanced at Mubin's expression, not knowing whether he was smiling or snoring, and let out a deep sigh.
'Because you've never been cute.'
At best, it was all he whispered that he resembled the emperor. Everyone in this place knew that if you hated it, you hated it, and you never showed a sign of being cute.
"Anyway, leader."
Parker quickly judged the situation.
"I give up the quest."
All eyes turned to him. The join group with emerald-colored hair lowered their voices even further.
"You must get out of here right now."
"I agree, but is that okay?"
Mubin, who does not know much about the guild, expressed his doubts. Then Parker shook his head.
"Of course, Princess Marisa was very afraid that if she failed in this task, her neck would fall."
Parker was the most timid and cowardly of the group, but that's why he was the most rational judge.
"In the beginning, the contents of the quest have changed, right? This is no longer a simple search for a traitor...
Vigilant purple eyes looked directly at Estio.
"What a battle for the power of the Emperor. It is not a matter for the guild to dare to intervene. The Prince's warning is correct."
"......"
"It's a hundred times and a thousand times better to end up being hated by the Crown Princess. In fact, the Master will take care of it after all."
Parker looked at Kai with bright eyes. Kai, who suddenly took over her baton, responded with her perplexed smile.
"Yeah. I expected it to be like this, but it is."
It was a surprisingly blunt reaction, so only Parker, who made an enthusiastic argument, opened his mouth wide.
"Did you know?"
"Um, to be precise, since the request came from the imperial family."
Kai sighed and looked back at Estio.
"Still, it seems that it has become even more dangerous than I expected. What will the leader do?"
"...I am not the one who has to make the decision."
Contrary to what I had expected, a cool answer came back. Everyone was puzzled, but Estio did not explain further and left only one word to wait.
After a while they could understand the meaning.
"I want to cancel the quest."
It was because Princess Marisa, who returned from the banquet, declared so.
"I will pay the penalty separately. Please come back."
I was so nervous that all the cosmetics I had applied on my lips had been erased and it was floating white. Estio stared at her pale, bloodless face. Belatedly, Princess Marisa, who was crazy about the fact that he was a mind-reading person, made an effortful smile.
"Please don't publish anything you read today."
"Is it okay if I don't tell you?"
"Yes. I don't even need to meet the Duke of Delphia. My quest is finished with this."
Estio read the strong confusion that was taking place in the princess's mind.
'I don't want to know.'
To Marisa, her younger brother Girsch was important.
But you cannot disobey the Emperor for any reason. Especially in the present Lubarzan, the 1st Princess was a strong ally who supported the emperor's power, so she should never be shaken.
The emperor made the second prince the next monarch. If he looks beyond that position, he will inevitably become treason.
In other words, Marisa had to hit her sister with her own hand.
'Because it's better not to find evidence.'
Although he doubted his brother, a conflict arose in his heart when the worst family was revealed. Marisa was not confident she would give it to the emperor as she tried to find evidence of her.
'It will be fine. Girsh doesn't have much power...'
Perhaps the younger brother did not even know that he was fighting with his young heart. She thought it was something that Tyler could solve as well.
In the end, Marisa decided to throw away the tile in her hand.
"there is."
"What?"
But there was a voice that shook her decision. Marisa lifted her head up in a flash of hers. Even after canceling her request, the Ignis guild members did not leave their seats.
"He's stronger than you think."
"What are you talking about now?"
"It's not that I was arguing when I was young. I've been preparing since I was much younger. The request he asked you not to throw away."
It was a whisper so small that even Marisa suspected it was an auditory hallucination.
"I'm serious."
"......!"
Marisa shrugged her shoulders involuntarily. A commoner who entered the palace for the first time today knows a dangerous fact that no one has ever told him about.
the ability to read minds.
Apart from the fact that I understood in my head, I was horrified.
"That's cheeky."
Marisa gripped the hem of her robe to calm her trembling breathing.
"Who allowed me to even get involved in such a story? The reason you've been treated specially so far is because we've been in a relationship with you."
"Is that so."
"Okay! Don't mind me anymore."
As soon as he heard the firm answer, Estio nodded his head without further arguing. When he turned around, everyone in the group who was watching moved in unison. Marisa was about to cry, so she turned her gaze away.
I saw a white crystal flower that was sent as a gift and returned. The petals that only turn transparent when exposed to the rain felt like I was looking at myself who wasn't honest. Marisa swept the white petals of her crystal flower with her fingertips, then suddenly narrowed her brow.
'Wait, what does it mean that Girsch has been preparing for usurpation since he was younger?'
After thinking for a bit, the answer is simple.
The 5th Prince has power. From the beginning there was not one traitor.
'All three!'
Lizzie Endymion, Platinum L. Delphia.
The figures that Marisa had been suspicious of and caught on were the forces supporting Prince Girsh in the end. Princess Marisa, who realized the meaning of Estio's words one step later, became contemplative and ran out of her glasshouse.
Heavy rain poured down on the long ceilings along the hallway. While they were lost for a moment, the Ignis guild members had already left the building and were moving away into the rain. When they came to the palace, they each opened their umbrellas and walked side by side.
The princess bit her lip and quickly rolled up the hem of her dress.
"Majesty?"
Handmaiden Penzi made an anxious face, but the princess did not respond and jumped out like a spring. Even when the maids screamed and screamed, I ignored them. The dark rain swept through the darkness and wet the luxurious dress in an instant.
"Wait, wait!"
Estio lost the umbrella from his hand because of Marisa who suddenly ran with all his power and grabbed him.
Tuk, Degur.
A black umbrella with a small guild pattern slipped and rolled over the muddy water.
Knowing that the princess had no intention of attacking, Neju was just holding a cactus flowerpot with a gentle expression on her face.
"Answer me. How far can you read people's minds with that ability?"
Estio, who grabbed her by the shoulder, hesitated a bit before answering.
"...I never set limits."
Marisa opened her mouth wide, not paying attention to getting wet.
"You don't know because you never set limits?"
"Yes."
Estio, who had become drenched in the rain at the same time, asked calmly.
"How far do you want to know?"
