"I see...... No wonder it was a commission from the Kingdom Army...... "The royal capital Grancel is still very lively and prosperous, and the group who arrived in a hurry also learned the details of this commission from Ainan of the royal capital branch.

It turned out that the commission was related to the "non-aggression pact" that the queen had recently tried to advocate. There have been years of grudges and accumulations between the Republic of Calvard and the Erebonian Empire, and Liberal, who is sandwiched between the two powers, is naturally very uneasy about this. Therefore, for this opportunity to promote this treaty, Liber naturally worked hard to prepare for security and planning work, and because of this, the head of the military simply called everyone to the royal capital because he was worried that the communications of the guide force would be eavesdropped by lawbreakers.

"It's not coercive and it's not easy to enforce, but my grandmother said that the deterrent effect created by this kind of treaty may help create a friendly atmosphere between countries." Kloss explained the plan to the crowd, and since the queen had already intended it, she was also deeply impressed.

"Then there will be a meeting, a conversation, and the signing of this treaty at the Elbe's palace...... Indeed, if something goes wrong during that time, the problem is big. Kim nodded, "Then ...... commission."

Just as Ainan was about to contact the head of the military to explain the matter, an unexpected incident occurred. Abel finds a lost child in the palace, and since he can't find a guardian, he hopes that the association will take over. Since Estelle and Kross were in good spirits, they readily agreed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rest of the people dispersed to prepare for the next move.

"Fei." As soon as the two girls walked on their front feet, Haliga called Faye aside, "I'm sure they'll definitely bring back the little girl they saw that day at the Ellayden Pass." ”

"The ...... who calls himself Ling" Fei was very impressed, "I actually always thought that kid was very strange there...... But I can't say it. ”

"Her so-called mom and dad are completely life-neutral...... Some kind of puppet. Heliga whispered, "The result of the Life Detection Spell feedback." But from the outside, I don't see anything strange and different from ordinary people. Don't you think it'......"

“…… The only thing that can be possibly possessed at the moment is "association", right? Fei concluded, "But ......"

"Of course, no one thinks that there is anything wrong with a child around the age of 10...... But isn't there a living example right in front of me? Heiliga smiled bitterly, "The opponent doesn't play according to common sense, and we naturally can't infer according to common sense...... Anyway, keep an eye on that kid. ”

“…… Need to tell Steele about them? Fei thought for a moment and asked.

“…… No. They won't believe it. But if the association really wants to make a move, and Ling is one of them...... I think it's probably useless to remind you directly, but it's better to pay a little attention to your movements. ”

"Hmm." Fei nodded, "I really hope our inference is wrong." ”

——————————————————————————————

Sure enough. When Estelle and Kloss returned to the Guild with a little girl as delicate as a doll, everyone except Helliga and Phyye looked surprised. Faced with the fact that she became the focus of everyone, Ling did not have stage fright, and after a little coquettishness, she took the hands of her peers Tita and Fei and walked to the second floor of the association. It looked innocent and flawless, and there was no shadow of the previous Heiliga deduction.

"Ahem...... What a lovely child......" Lieutenant Colonel Sid, who had come to convey the meaning of the Kingdom Army, coughed slightly, "Then let's talk about the commission...... Here's the thing. In the period leading up to the conclusion of the "No War Pact", we received many threatening letters......"

"Threatening letters?" The attention of the crowd was attracted, "What's on it?" ”

The samples were filled with what appeared to be bluffing threats, no signatures, and no other information — originally the military wanted to treat them as hoaxes, but when it became known that letters with the same content had been received at important locations such as embassies, the Queen's royal city, major news agencies and transportation departments, and cathedrals, it could no longer be treated as ordinary hoaxes anyway. Having said that, the intelligence service, which the kingdom has always been proud of, was completely destroyed in the coup d'état this year, and the military was unable to do anything about it, and on the other hand, it was difficult to spare the manpower and resources to carry out the investigation and preparation under the current circumstances, so it had to be entrusted to the association.

"Whatever the association can bear, let them settle it one by one - this is what Brigadier General Cassius himself said." Lieutenant Colonel Sid looked helpless, "Actually, there is one more thing, I was recently transferred to the captain of the royal capital garrison, responsible for all the security work around the royal capital during the signing of the treaty. In order to prepare for the alert system, it is necessary to have as much information as possible, so I would like to join forces with the guerrilla association, which has the advantage of high mobility, to do a good job this time. ”

"Wow, I haven't seen you for a few months, and Comrade Sid has become so shrewd and capable." Heiliga joked, "No wonder he was promoted so quickly." ”

“…… Shame on you. Lieutenant Colonel Sid bowed his head instead, "I almost made a big mistake during the coup...... If it weren't for the care of the Brigadier General and His Majesty...... And your words of help and contribution......"

"Hey...... The same cannot be said either. After all, even the supreme commander of the Kingdom Army at that time was pinned down by him, wasn't he? But speaking of Richard...... I wonder if Brigadier General Cassius has something to say to me? ”

“…… It's you. Lieutenant Colonel Sid even used an honorific title for a child, "Indeed...... His Excellency the Brigadier General would like to be able to take advantage of the opportunity of the conclusion of the agreement to have a meeting with you. In fact, that's one of my contents this time. ”

"No problem. That's how you get back to him. Be careful in your work too. ”

"You really have a deal with Dad, right?" Estelle was furious, "When we met in the fortress, we still denied it together?" ”

"I just didn't want to trouble you at the time...... Hawkers, it's not a big deal anyway, and I can tell you if you want to know when this incident is over. ”

"Ah...... Speaking of that. Estelle looked apologetic, "We'd love to leave right away, but there's one more thing we can't put on hold......

"You mean that little girl just now, right?" Ainan said with a smile, "I've already thought about this. After saying that, a summary of the plan that had been written at some point had already jumped on the paper.
