Goodbye.

What Malinda threw at Arthur in front of her was three prayer posts.

They were the two nephews of Lithop the Younger, Dubois, and Lord Bass.

The content is the same, hoping to participate in the ceremony of Malinda's succession to the title.

Almost as soon as he saw these three prayer posts, Arthur understood why Malinda reacted that way just now-

The lady felt like she had been 'arranged'.

'Pride makes you feel like you're losing your freedom in that moment.

But this strangeness makes you even more hesitant!

You're not sure what my starting point is.

Although I feel that my dignity has been damaged, I am afraid that it will affect our cooperation, so I ......

Tempting me in this way can disgust me, right? ’

Arthur, who finally figured out what was going on, curled up at the corners of his mouth.

"You don't think I arranged it, do you?"

Arthur looked at Malinda with a teasing smile.

"Not you?

Who else could it be? ”

Malinda looked incredulous.

If it was just little Lithop, Malinda believed that the young man might have made his own decisions, but there were also two nephews of Dubois and Lord Bass.

Don't think that Arthur has a life-saving grace for the two, and the two will take the initiative to hand over the greetings of the title succession ceremony.

Even if the two of them wanted to do it themselves, it would not be possible.

Because, behind the two of them are their own uncles, the two lords.

Unlike the Lisopp family, who were 'new aristocrats', the two lords who adhered to tradition would never let their nephews do such things that did not understand the rules.

In the course of the nobles' interactions, it was absolutely forbidden to appear on such grand occasions.

It must have started with a small gathering.

Preferably a private salon or something.

Unless it's a relationship in the first place-

For example, a certain family that is deeply involved in Nanlos has long dealt with these nobles, and then there is a scene where they take the initiative to hand over the post.

In fact, it's not just Malinda who thinks so.

Arthur himself was speculating about what was going on.

He confirmed that he had no friendship with Dubois and Bass.

As for the Credos family?

Definitely not.

Arthur was sure of that.

However, at this time, in the face of Malinda's questioning, Arthur had no more explanation.

"That's not what I meant.

Maybe it's because of me, but ......

I didn't know beforehand. ”

Arthur shrugged, rolled out of bed, and headed straight for the bathroom.

Malinda behind her frowned.

The lady believed that Arthur would not lie to her at such a time.

That can only be ......

Dubois and Bath took the initiative.

'Does the Credos family secretly have such influence in South Los ?

Can you even influence Dubois and Bath?

You know, this is the countess's most loyal knight......

Well?

Could it be that the countess took the initiative?

No way!

That one can't be! ’

As soon as such an idea popped into Malinda's mind, she was completely thrown out of her mind.

She knew the countess's character all too well.

When it doesn't really affect Nanlos, the other party won't pay attention to it at all, even if there are many deaths, as long as Nanlos is 'peaceful and prosperous', the other party can ignore everything, and if they can make themselves have an extra benefit, it would be even better - she, that's how she rose.

And with the exposure of Arthur's strength and power, although he will be valued by the other party, it will definitely not reach the level of 'showing favor'.

'What's going on?'

Or is there something I don't know about? ’

Malinda pondered.

By the time Arthur had washed up and boarded the carriage with Pendragon in his arms, Malinda, who was sitting across from Arthur, had not yet figured out what to do—and, the more the woman thought about it, the more she felt as if she had missed something important.

It's a terrible feeling.

Arthur stroked Pendragon and glanced at Malinda, who was on the edge of her seat.

He knew that his partner, who was good at thinking too much, was starting to think more again.

If it's usual, of course, it doesn't matter.

But, not today.

Today is the day when the other party inherits the title.

No room for error.

After all, it would be beneficial for him for the other party to obtain a knighthood, obtain a new identity, and integrate into the circle of nobles.

Therefore, the young 'psychic' sighed in his heart and asked softly-

"Once upon a time there was an argument between two children, and one of them killed the other and was imprisoned by the local lord, but the child did not know what to fear, because he knew that he was still a child, and his parents said that he was a child, and they lobbied others that it was just a child.

If it's you, what should you do? ”

Arthur looked at Malinda with a smile.

He's relieving his partner's tension in his own way.

It's quite useful.

Malinda was immediately drawn to attention.

"Murder pays for life!"

The woman said dryly.

"But what about his parents?"

Arthur continued.

"Kill together!

This child argues with others and kills each other, there is a high probability that there is a high probability that there will be the influence of his parents, maybe he will still instigate it secretly, and even, if it is not witnessed by others, something more excessive will happen! ”

Arthur motioned for Malinda to continue.

"Kill people and bury corpses!"

The woman continued.

"And what if someone else stands in the way?"

Arthur continued.

"Treat it as an accomplice and punish it together - there are some things that you can't look at coldly, once you are indifferent, when disaster comes to you, who will wave the flag for me?"

Malinda is colorful.

The woman then asked.

"How did the lord punish him?"

"He asked the waiter to bring the food, but he didn't give the utensils, and the man who caused the death, claiming to be a child, asked the waiter for cutlery – 'If you know how to use utensils and don't need to be fed, you're not a child.'"

Subsequently, someone was sent to hang the murderer. ”

Arthur said.

"Well, good penalty."

Malinda nodded, and then the lady frowned again.

"Such a lord should have a good reputation, why have I never heard of it?"

Faced with the lady's inquiry, Arthur snorted.

Of course he can't say that this is a story he made up just to divert your attention, right?

After all, how could something so bad happen in the real world, could it?

The young 'medium' handed Pendragon to Malinda.

"Pan just said it wants you to hug it."

Pan:......

Pendragon, who had been taken out to be used as a prop, collapsed in the hands of his master, and was rotten.

Malinda, however, was immediately intrigued.

The lady had tried to touch Pendragon before, but had no success.

This time, I can not only touch it, but also hold it.

It's really good.

Looking at Malinda, who held Pendragon in his arms, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank you for your efforts!

The world is a cruel and unjust place, the universe is all chaos, and the only eternal thing is suffering...... Wow, cats, it's cats!

Sometimes a cat or a cat can make people feel a little warm.

No, just because there was a cat at that moment.

Arthur thought to himself, and looked at Baron Kemill's manor in the distance.

There, quite a few people are already waiting.
