"As long as there is no conclusive evidence," Goth said word for word, "we can only assume that it was the Jailers of the Okad Federation who chose to kill before they could evacuate the Plane Prison. ”

"Don't laugh. Anyone with a modicum of rationality knows that this is the most unlikely answer," Levi said, "First of all, there is no need for the Okad Federation to kill Lady Elizabeth. Killing people would only make Victoria a mortal enmity with them, which would not do the Okad Federation any good. ”

Goth was silent. He couldn't argue with Levy's words. In fact, he had already thought of these.

"Secondly, even if they really wanted to kill Elizabeth, how could they be left to breathe and not be able to kill half alive? A powerless female mage imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison would have no need to plant a curse if it was Okade's jailer. It's much easier to kill directly. Leaving unconscious and leaving there is like a deliberate ......"

"You've seen it with your own eyes, Levi," said Goth coldly, "and sure enough." The reason why you happily followed my offer to leave Okad was because you decided you didn't need to be there at all. ”

Levi smiled.

"It's a pleasure to talk to someone as smart as you," he said, "my brother." ”

"You sit back and relax. The Okadians have spies in the Ockadian Spellcaster...... Your pre-arranged pieces. ”

"Beautiful. However, I correct it a little. I didn't deliberately put eyeliner in that kind of remote town. I've laid a lot of stakes in Okadeb, and that mage jailer is just one of them. He just happened to be there, and it just came in handy. Levy said.

"I've looked into it...... Both Master Pirka and Sister Zakharevich were killed on the spot. But the body of the fourth mage jailer, Master Vanke, was not found until three days later. He's your stake, isn't he? Goth asked in a low voice.

"I think he was the one who stabbed Lady Elizabeth and cursed her," Lévy said in a sad tone, "but...... I wasn't the one who gave him orders. ”

"What do you mean?" Goth suddenly became alert.

"Literally," Levi shrugged, "Indeed, I have a personal relationship with Master Vanke. He also occasionally reports to me about the Okad Federation. But this time, I did not give him the order to attack Elizabeth. ”

"Lying."

Lévy sighed, "I'll tell you the truth." Indeed, my original plan was for Master Vanke to kill Elizabeth. ”

"I've known this for a long time."

"Elizabeth is worth no more than her own. But her daughter ...... That guy is priceless. The potential alone is coveted, not to mention ...... I wonder if it would be too wasteful to keep her in the Empire. ”

"How dare you think of letting the 'Light World' turn its back on the Empire and join Elrios."

"Neither the Empire of Grecia nor the Legion of Elrios is her homeland. For her, there is no difference between the two. As soon as her relationship with one of them breaks down, she will join the other one with the flow. ”

"So you have a plan," Goth gritted his teeth, "and when His Highness Dimi storms the prison, Mage Vanko, who remains in the spellcaster's prison as a jailer, will let the others go out to fight the enemy and kill Elizabeth himself. Then, put all the blame on the reckless actions of His Highness Dimi, and drive a wedge between Victoria and the Empire. Is that right? ”

"But I didn't expect that Victoria herself would come to help His Highness Dimi rescue his mother," Levi seemed a little helpless, "which means I can't know if she or Dimi will end up in prison." Thinking that the previous plan might not work, I informed Master Vanke to terminate the operation. I swear. ”

"But he did it anyway."

"Vanke is one of the most marginalized of my many pawns. As soon as I heard that he had attacked Elizabeth by betraying his orders, I immediately began to think about possibilities. One of the biggest ......"

"He's not loyal to you, it's a double ...... Multiple agents," Gothetti Levi said, "his true master is not you. ”

"That's right, my friend," Levi whispered, "it wasn't my will alone that in Okad that day. There are other black hands...... It was he who gave the order to Master Vanke, attacking Elizabeth and casting a curse on her. We've all been calculated by that guy. ”

"Mage Vanke has been killed," Goth shook his head, "and the rest is only guesswork." ”

"Let's just guess, my friend, maybe it's not so gloomy," Levy's green eyes gleamed strangely, "just think about it. Who is the person who has benefited from this incident and has the conditions to give orders to Master Vanke. ”

Step by step, the two gradually approached the truth. In fact, the two have long analyzed the matter, and now they are just "answering" each other.

Then, Goth gave the answer that Lévy wanted to hear.

"It's the Empire...... Chancellor Friedrich, to be exact. ”

Goth's voice was a little bitter. Think about it. In the whole incident, it was the empire that profited the most. From the standpoint of some of the Empire's top brass, the mysteries of the incident are solved.

Levi smiled.

"That's right."

Mage Vanke is an Imperial double agent against the French Powers and the Federation.

He kept an eye on the situation and attacked Elizabeth as Dimi stormed the caster's prison. In addition to the curse, he deliberately chose the damage of a sharp cut, because he knew that Dimi could use the Freeze Technique to temporarily treat such wounds.

Then Master Vanke teleported away. And Dimi, who arrived, was really fooled, thinking that the Okadians wanted to kill people. Everything is in the hands of the upper echelons of the empire.

"This 'failed' rescue did not shake Victoria's loyalty. The Empire's 'endurance' to rescue Elizabeth must have impressed her...... At the same time, Victoria's personal relationship with His Highness Dimi was consolidated. ”

"Neither the Empire nor the Legalist does not need a living, sober, spell-casting Elizabeth," Goth sighed, "Elizabeth has lived in the Okaad Federation for many years, and her feelings for Okaad are deep-rooted. The only one who has an enmity with her is Speaker Nicholas himself. ”

"If I were Speaker Nicholas," said Levy, "as long as I was moved with affection for Elizabeth, her position would be shaken." She also has a lot of family members in Okad. If the Okad Federation has a new master who has a good relationship with her in the future...... You don't have to think about it. ”

"However, the Empire will never allow Elizabeth to remain in the hands of the Occade Confederation," Goth said softly, "Emperor Dietford III and Chancellor Friedrich will not allow Victoria to be held hostage ...... the future."

Fortunately, the magnanimous Dietford III was fine, and the Imperial Pasteur Friedrich, the Imperial Plasterer, would never allow such a big hidden danger. In the eyes of the prime minister, Victoria is likely to become the crown princess or even the queen of the empire in the future, how can she be caught in this kind of thing?

Even if the otherworldly creature would one day be separated from Xiaowei, who knows what she thinks of her mother with this body?

Lévy paused slightly: "Taking Elizabeth into your own hands, while at the same time making her 'never able to speak' is the most stable option." Both assured of Victoria's relationship with the Empire and her hatred of Okad...... In case of exposure......

"You can also throw the pot to the assassins of the French powers, and throw it to you." Goth said sarcastically.

A second of silence.

"Against an old fox like Chancellor Friedrich," Lévi said leisurely, "this time, I lost." Lost completely. Compared to that legendary mage, my calculations are still a cut away. ”

"Frederrich, the Lord of the Bound Demons, had been watching the situation in the caster's prison somewhere, and as soon as he sensed that things had changed, he immediately appeared. That's why after the Speaker appeared, he also appeared so quickly. Goth smiled wryly.

The prime minister did not calculate that the "eternal blood" would deliver that earth-shattering blow, let alone that Speaker Nicholas would suddenly come because of this.

Speaker Nicholas's unexpected appearance forced the Prime Minister to expose himself, as the Prime Minister could not expose Linna's soul and Dimi to danger.

"But it's not conclusive evidence." Goth said.

"So you're still not reconciled," Levi continued, "to collect a sample of Elizabeth's curse." ”

"I don't think the Lord of the Demons could go wrong in such an obvious place. But as long as there is a silver lining......"

"That stuff has been collected." Levy said.

"Huh?"

"My stake isn't limited to Okade. There are also in this palace. It is still possible to buy the servants and get some hair from the bedding that has been washed. Levi blinked.

"You're a cunning bastard."

"I have my considerations."

"So, what about the result?" Goth asked, "Is it enough to have only hair as a sample?" ”

"I'm very pleased with the results. I'd like to discuss with you too—who is it?! ”

Levi's face changed suddenly. He turned his head to look at the wall to the side. There was already a man sitting there. The strange thing is that although Lévi had already set up the enchantment, the enchantment did not detect the existence of that person at all. It's like the other party has been there until he suddenly appeared.

“…… How so? ”

Goth had an incredulous look on his face.

It was a petite girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Her wheat-colored hair is tied into a small ponytail, and her beige dress is paired with white cotton socks and sandals, and she looks very cute.

A little Lori is naturally harmless to humans and animals, and it may be a little Lori who has overheard their conversation from the ears and eyes of these two great mages......

The girl let out a chuckle and jumped off the opposite side of the wall.

Goth and Lévy looked at each other.

Call.

The two of them shook and disappeared at the same time, appearing outside the wall. In the imperial palace of the imperial capital, separated by only one wall from the "Heavenly Dome" and the "Bright World", the two did not dare to use powerful range spells.

The little girl on the wall—no matter what, it had to be ......

“……？”

Outside the walls, the girl was gone.

The long aisles of the palace were empty.

"This ......"

Goth and Lévy looked at each other.

"Illusion? Don't ......," Goth said to himself.

"What do you say?" Levi rolled his eyes, "Whether the other party is an entity or an illusion, those who have hidden it from the two of us will at least have the advanced strength of the blue ocean." We better ......."

“…… Stop it. Let's go! ”

……

Elizabeth's hospital room.

"Dimi. You're thinking too much. After listening to Dimi's story, the girl said gently.

These days, the girl is also wondering who is planting the curse on Elizabeth. What Goth and Lévy could think of, the girl naturally thought of too.

Xiaowei threw herself into taking care of her mother. The girl did not dare to tell her what she thought.

Unexpectedly, Dimi, who has been silent these days, was silently aware of the sense of incongruity in the incident.

The biggest beneficiary of the attack on Elizabeth was the Reich, and the main suspect was Chancellor Friedrich. Even if he didn't think as thoroughly as Goth, Levi, and the girl, Dimi was vaguely aware of this fact.

It's just that...... He told himself his thoughts without reservation. Aren't you worried that you will alienate him and the empire because of this?

Smart enough, is it really okay to inherit the throne in the future?

This is not a comic, just with a beautiful vision can be "a big husband, a cute man".

It's hard to put your mind at ease......

"I'm a little worried...... Dimi said.

"What's there to worry about? Things are never as bad as you think......"

"This country," Dimi shook his head, "I understand that there is always something unsightly hidden under the water......"

"First of all, there is no evidence that this must have anything to do with the Empire," the girl advised, "and secondly, neither you nor the rest of the Empire have the power to change the rules. They also ...... at times It's just helpless. ”

"So what?" Dimi said solemnly, "Victoria, we and other secret warriors are not seeking stronger power, not to change the rules, nor to gain power. If we can't even protect what we want to protect, then we might as well ......."

"That's enough, Dimi," the girl put her hand on Dimi's shoulder, "it's not your responsibility. If we do nothing, things will only get worse. Don't feel sorry for yourself. You are the crown prince of the empire, and you are the future emperor. Calm should be maintained at all times. ”

"I'm just worried," Dimi whispered, "and it's irreparable." ”

"It's my business — I mean, don't carry this burden alone. We can think together what to do," said the girl, "even if you confronted your father or the Prime Minister, what would you do?" ”

"I've thought about asking other mages to check on your mother, but the mages I know have priority over me to obey the orders of my father and the prime minister," Dimi said, "and you can't just leak things to the Fa Quan." ”

"If we can further break through to the blue ocean level, we can also increase some negotiation capital," the girl frowned, "forget it." ”

It's pointless to continue to worry about this question, it's better to change the topic, the girl thought.

"Let's talk about something else." The girl said. Dimi can't be trapped in strange circles of thought.

"Okay." Dimi said helplessly. He knew that it was in vain to be in a hurry.

"Dimi, how are we arranging the competition in the spring?" The girl blinked.

"Huh?" Dimi was taken aback, "This kind of thing happened, you still have to ......"

"Don't look at me. Are you exercising your 'right to challenge' me," said the girl, "or have you given up?" ”

"I didn't give up!" Dimi said reflexively.

"Are you going to postpone it, then?" The girl pinched her waist with both hands and narrowed her eyes.

"Nope. As long as you're willing to take on the challenge, I'm okay at any time. Dimi said.

"That's it," said the girl, "so be it." We can't be so depressed all the time. Let's use an all-out confrontation to shock people. ”

"I see. I'll start arranging it right away. Please don't show mercy then, Victoria. Dimi's eyes regained his fighting spirit.
