After letting go of her, I took two steps back vigilantly.

"You don't know magic or swordsmanship, do you?"

"No, it won't."

Same as I thought.

Whew, saved......

"You should be Her Royal Highness, right?"

"That's right, I'm Alice Ulicia, the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Ulicia."

"Can you spare me?"

"Spare you what?"

"I was a contestant in a beauty pageant, but my judges seemed to want to forcibly take me as his concubine, so I escaped."

"Ho ho ...... This is the first time I've heard of anything like this......"

Alice didn't seem to believe my words.

Also, how could she trust a stranger she met for the first time.

"Can you let me go home?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

Alice thought for a moment and told me with a smile.

"Why?"

"First, you saw that Princess Ben didn't kneel. Second, you threatened Princess Ben before. Third, since you are begging me, don't you think your sincerity is not enough? ”

"I apologize for what happened before, please, Your Highness the Princess, save me."

For the second time in my life, I used it here.

"Okay, then I'll save you once, come with me."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

Her Royal Highness the princess is pretty good, isn't she......

"This room is my room, you can hide here for a while."

Alice led me to her room.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

But I always felt that something was wrong with her expression...... How to say that...... It's a bit of a hypocrisy.

And the half-open door always gives me a little bad premonition.

"What are you doing in a daze, go inside."

Alice's urging made me even more sure of that.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I have changed my mind, please come in."

I grabbed Alice's hand and pushed her in, then slammed the door shut.

There was also an open lock hanging on the door, which made it certain that the door could only be opened from the outside, and the people inside could not escape at all.

"Whew...... I almost fell for it. ”

"Big sister, help me! There's all sorts of monsters in there, and they're coming to bite me...... Ahhh

"Whoa———"

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ———Roar, Roar, Roar, T

There is no doubt that it is the voice of Warcraft.

What to do?

Do you want to open it?

"Help me! Please, big sister! Please! ”

But she was trying to push me in......

By the time I made my decision, there was no sound in it.

"Her Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess!"

Just in case, I'll knock on the door first.

Still no sound.

I'm not going to kill her, am I?

Damn it!

In a panic, he opened the door———

Alice was lying on the ground, flanked by several large vicious dogs.

It's over, I really killed Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Sorry, I didn't mean to...... I ......"

But when I looked up, I noticed that there was no blood on Alice's body.

Oops, scammed!

When I thought about closing the door, Alice grabbed my hand.

"You're still quite capable...... This princess will reward you well. ”

The next second, my vision was blurry.

"You ......"

"That's it!"

Alice clapped her hands lightly.

"My lord, how did you get here? Who is this person? ”

"She's my new toy, bring her to my room."

"Yes. About that incident......"

"I probably already know, so I don't have to report back to me."

"Huh?! How do adults know? ”

"Hear it with your ears. Bring her to my room. ”

"Yes."

Several of the big dogs in the room meekly rubbed Alice's legs around without any fierce appearance.

"Suzuki Hiroshi...... A twelve-year-old adventurer...... Interesting. ”

Alice played with the ID card she had touched on me.

……

When I woke up, I was lying in a strange room.

Well, I'm used to being awake in a strange room after every coma.

There is no doubt that Alice is the devil.

This guy lied to me that she didn't know magic or swordsmanship or anything like that, so I want to know how I fainted.

"Are you awake?"

It was Alice's voice.

"What did you do to me?"

"Nothing has been done, if you don't believe me, you can check it."

I'm still wearing that blue dress, and to be honest, it's always light and uncomfortable underneath.

I had all the belongings on me, although I only had two things on me: my ID card and my money bag.

"Nothing is missing...... But what exactly is your purpose? It shouldn't do you much good to catch me, right? ”

"That's true...... But I'd love to know why you, as an adventurer, want to infiltrate the palace? ”

"I didn't mean to infiltrate the palace, I just ...... I just want to escape from the capture of those nobles. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about...... I'm asking why you want to participate in this event to infiltrate the palace? ”

Eh, why do you know?

"I don't have ......"

"Your answer is already written on your face."

“……”

Damn, is it that obvious......

"If you're not going to confess yet...... Then let's play a game. ”

"Games?"

"That's right, it's just a killing game."

"Killing games?"

It's over, this princess feels a little different from ordinary people...... Sure enough, I don't fall in love with normal people......

"There's a knife on the table on your right, pick it up and fight me, aren't you an adventurer, you should be very powerful, right?"

"Well, I won't use a knife ......"

"What about the sword? Guns, hammers, hammers, and the like. ”

"It won't ...... either"

"It's useless...... Then magic is supposed to work, right? ”

Alice looked at me with a disappointed expression.

"I'll only heal magic and support magic ......"

"How did you get to this point?"

Alice was even more disappointed, and the knife she was playing with was thrown hard against the wall.

“……”

I'm sorry that a useless guy like me has survived so far.

"What's your name?"

"Huh?"

"What is your name, I ask?"

"Suzuki wide."

"Suzuki, tell me your purpose, or I'll let you die here right away."

I didn't expect such a beautiful person to say such cruel words.

However, even if I told her my purpose, it wouldn't be a big deal......

In order to save my life, I still chose to confess.

"I want to investigate the killer who killed Count Sato."

"Hmph...... Interesting. But I wonder why you're sure the killer is inside the palace? ”

"My companion smelled of a killer."
