Episode 84: Me Apandemic! – Monica, I notice something horrible!
“I’ll get back to it. The assassination plotted against Her Royal Highness Princess Meer, Stalina Etwa Yellowmoon, and her squire Barbara, as well as the assassin with the wolf, their three footsteps…, apparently attempted to escape to the Sunkrand side. So, there’s information that you ran into a Sunkrand cavalry that was on alert.”
“Hmm. In my country… But what does it mean to be on guard…”
Monica smiled a small smile at Scion, crushing with a suspicious face.
“Actually, about the assassin with the wolf, I had been contacted in advance by Lord Ludwig.”
– Oh, Ludwig?
And so, Meer remembers
– Oh, with that said, from Ludwig, I think I was getting a report… Something about being targeted for life within the Empire.
Behind the brain, Ludwig’s calligraphy revives.
Indeed, that letter should have also mentioned the assassin who uses the wolf…, etc., which I now think is Meer.
Anyway, Meer from the fall was distracted by the Holy Night Festival assassination, so she couldn’t care less about the details.
– Oh, I failed. If I knew the enemy would use a wolf, I would have taken a bottle of boned meat too……
In Meer’s head, she thought of herself flirting with an enemy wolf with one boned meat.
‘Look, I’m coming! I’ll get it right.
etc…, it was a very pleasant fantasy!
“Furthermore, the day before the Holy Night Festival, I received an urgent communication from Lord Ludwig. An assassin with the wolf travels through the Duchy of Velga to the periphery of the Kingdom of Sankland,”
“Hmm… you haven’t heard about that one. I had Ludwig look for an engagement between the Duke of Yellowmoon and the Chaotic Snake, so if it’s an action in part of it, I’m not saying anything in particular…”
“Was I? Probably because it was something of a high urgency. What reached us was an extremely simple document using a messenger bird. The escape route and the placement of soldiers…”
The Tiamoun Empire and the Principality of Velga are not that far apart. Usually, however, in exchanges like Meer does, where a letter is carried by horse, time is needed on a day-by-day basis. In contrast, communication using a messenger bird or the like allows information to be exchanged in a short time.
So it is also impossible that no report has come to Meer…… Yes, I guess Monica wants to say it.
As a matter of fact, Meer has never placed restrictions on Ludwig’s behavior.
For Meer, who leaves it up to herself to “be a good Jesus man,” Ludwig is the ideal minister. I don’t give an opinion, that’s ridiculous! Meer’s reply was “yes” or “like! It’s the only way.”
– Oh, and, as always, you can’t go wrong leaving it to Ludwig. This sense of stability is great.
Meer had a satisfying grin.
– I knew, that’s right, Her Royal Highness Princess Meer…
Monica was impressed while making the report.
Normally, the smarter you are in power, the more you want to know exactly what your people do. Therefore, my men’s arbitrariness is hateful.
Nonetheless, how’s Meer’s satisfied face? It’s something you can’t do without the absolute confidence that you can save yourself, even if you have failed at the same time as trusting your people.
Once again, Monica continues her explanation as she reviews Meer.
“I have been contacted by Lord Ludwig and I have contacted my home country”
The intelligence service “Wind Raven” of the Kingdom of Sankland is supposed to be ostensibly inactive since the incident in the Kingdom of Remno. I mean we’re in the process of separating the White Raven and restructuring the organization…, but, well, that’s…
Those who needed the least were naturally moving, and were able to deal with urgent matters.
Monica also sent word, hoping that the wind raven people would receive it, but the move was swift.
He mobilized an instant cavalry without asking about the details.
“I ambushed Lord Ludwig as instructed, but the operation was a success. We could trap our enemies.”
“Huh? So…!
With eyes full of anticipation, Bell stares. But Monica shook her head small.
“Unfortunately, it has not led to captivity. If you’re a werewolf, slip through the siege net, make yourself disappear somewhere, and the carriage carrying the Yellowmoon Duke and Barbara, the bad guy, rolls over to Verga. Then it looks like we headed for the Tiermoon Empire, the Duke of Yellowmoon.”
“I went home, and…? But would you do something stupid like that?
Monica smiled at Abel, who looked strange.
“We have guided you based on the instructions of Lord Ludwig. When we laid a complete siege, it was instead dangerous and daring to dilute the siege of the escape route to the Empire.”
To Monica’s words, Abel nodded.
“Right. Sure, you want to avoid turning that man into a dead soldier.”
“Yes, Dead Soldiers, Soldiers ready to die are those who exert terrible power… If that assassin is a powerful man, it is dangerous to inadvertently hunt him down. Most of the cavalry that was on alert didn’t seem to go as far as to hunt them down…”
Still made sense.
If you’re a wolf user alone, enough siege to break through. That’s what I did this time.
Separate the enemy, and on top of that, the person you want to get back…, because you were able to attract Strina out of reach.
Think that far……, Monica noticed something horrible.
– This…, just like then. When the Kingdom of Lemno and……
Monica, who was once in the Kingdom of Lemno, under Graham the White Raven, knows.
When did the White Raven destroy the whole thing and blur the results that were convenient to him?
For example…, if this attempted assassination did not occur, Ludwig’s instructions would have failed. An assassin from the Empire would have easily broken through the siege net and fled without becoming a dead soldier.
But……, it didn’t. Meer has exactly what she wants.
Monica had to wonder if Meer was…, calculating everything…
Of course, if you think calmly, that can’t be possible. I have no idea how I can do that, Monica.
But it’s also true that if we connect the facts in front of us… it just seems so.
I’ve been anxious here lately, Meer. From that appearance, she had sensed that an assassination plot was being planned against herself.
And in a common bath. I can also tell that she was staring at the suspect because she was subtly showing Strina the bathing agent that produced the example smoke. Also, even though the suspects knew, what didn’t stop them from planning was thinking about Strina.
Give Straina a chance to repent and lust to get it back.
And…, as a matter of fact, Meer kept Shtrina within the Empire, within reach, about to be taken away from the Empire to a distant land.
After confirming the will to repent, which is to help Meers.
“I’m sure your sister Meer must have been acting to help Leena!
Monica didn’t feel comfortable denying Bell’s words, which she said confidently.
– It’s impossible to think of this all as a coincidence…
Then, in things like fear, Monica looked at Meer.
“… Her Royal Highness Princess Meer, how far were you, calculated?
To that inquiry, Meer, without answering, just had a slightly troubled grin.
– Later, Rafina, let’s hear your thoughts… Maybe they’re watching Meer behave more calmly than I am.
… After this, Monica listened to Rafina, making her fear of Meer more and more robust…
Well, it doesn’t matter.
