"Hey, Anne, hold on!" Ariel's voice came from above Chris, "We seem to be falling into some strange place." ”

Ariel?

Could it be that I have been bathing and washing for a long time and have hallucinations?

How much do you want her to be like this?

But soon, reality mercilessly shattered Chris's illusions.

A green circle appeared above Chris's head, and before Chris could raise his head, he was knocked down by a figure.

But that's not the end of it, and then, Chris who was pressed felt two more people pressing on him.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

It was a girl voice I had never heard before.

"It's okay, it's okay, but it doesn't seem to hurt much if you fall like this?"

It's Ariel's voice, but.

How do you feel like there's a girl kissing you?

"Uh-huh, uh-huh?" Immediately, Chris spotted himself eye-to-eye, Annie.

"Wow, brother, why are you here?"

Anne, who came to her senses, scrambled up from Chris like a rabbit, but Ariel and Ella were also squeezed to the ground.

"Strange, where is this? Is it inside the Empire?"

Ariel got up and looked left and right, as if she couldn't see anything but moisture around her, "This is not in some jungle." ”

"Love, Ariel, hurry up and close your eyes!"

Anne hurriedly shouted, "Here, this is my brother's bathroom!"

―――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――――――――

"Well, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken a shower at that time. ”

Chris, who had two distinct handprints on his face, was still red-faced, but he still didn't know why he had to apologize for taking a shower in his bathroom.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was a little excited just now. Don't worry about it. ”

Ariel smiled and waved her hand, not in the slightest worried about the two slaps she had given the emperor just now.

"And who is this?"

Chris felt that he had estimated that the emperor was enough to be a wretch, and in order not to talk about this kind of thing again, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"In Lower Ella. Ella said and stepped forward with a salute, "It's Her Highness Ariel's handmaiden." ”

"Maid?"

Chris, if memory serves, when Ariel is gone. It's only with Anne, and this maid doesn't seem to be a new recruit, can it be ......

"I'm a vampire and proud of it. ”

...... Sure enough.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. I have more important things to say. ”

Ariel interrupted Chris's thoughts, "Now, Chris, did you know that there is such a thing as a slave trade in the Holy City?"

"Of course. Chris nodded, "But because the Holy City is not part of the Empire. I can't stop it either. ”

"Well, then it looks like I'm going to have to talk to you about something. ”

―――――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――――

"What!" Before Ariel's words could be spoken, Chris slapped the table and stood up, "Just trying to take you all away because you ruined an illegal slave trade? ”

Isn't it clear that the Holy City has always maintained an equal relationship with the empire before, and there is no conflict between the two sides, why is it this time......

Or is it something that the Holy City has to rely on? Do you want to take advantage of this incident to make trouble?

"Well, and it looks like the Holy City has a big backstage now. Ariel said, "Eden." Have you ever heard of that name, Chris?"

Eden? It always feels familiar.

"Eden, the immortal, represents the Divine Descendant of Light. Ariel explained: "This is the new patron of the Holy City, and I guess this is also the reason why they are so jumping." ”

"And Ariel, what do you think we should do?"

"I always felt that this time it wasn't that simple. Ariel said: "Actually, if you think about it now, the Holy City didn't have to send all the members of the Knights to surround us in the Elven Forest for the sake of Ella. After all, although vampires are rare to see, they are not so noisy, and it is obvious that they want to take this opportunity to control one of us. ”

Control Ariel, Annie. And one of the maids named Ella?

"But because Ella was sold in the first place, if Ella was the person they were looking for, they wouldn't have put it up for auction at all, so Ella couldn't be, and the target of the Holy City this time was probably me or Annie. ”

Ariel or Annie?

But Anne herself knows, and she hasn't shown anything weird since she was a child, so could it be that the target of the Holy City is Ariel?

"Well, actually, I also think that it would be best if their target was really me, after all, I have a stronger ability to protect myself, so at least I won't put Anne in any danger...... Hmm ”

"Ariel, you've been so nice to me. As she spoke, Anne shoved Ariel's head into her breast.

"Anyway, we have to be careful during this time. Ariel raised her head and said, "That Eden doesn't seem to be able to fight at all, and he can always be resurrected with full blood in an instant, so it's better for us to be honest during this time." ”

"No, it's unbearable. Chris stood up, "Even if we don't send troops, at least a letter of condemnation will be delivered to the Pope of the Holy City, and if this operation is really under the command of the head of the Knights alone, rather than at the behest of someone higher, they will certainly give me a satisfactory answer." ”

"And who are you going to go to?" said Ariel, "and this kind of thing must be very dangerous now. And the average person probably can't do things well......"

"I have a candidate. ”

Louise's voice sounded, and Ariel turned her head to look, only to see that Louise had already walked in with a slightly anxious expression.

"Annie, Ariel, it's really good that you're okay. I don't know if I have any news from you, and I'm going to go find that stupid knight. ”

So, the silver-haired woman who seemed to be the head of the knights was a little rigid.

"Aunt Louise, do you know the head of the Knights?"

"Of course, I won't forget that little Tina, who knows how to eat and sleep all day long, and who sells cuteness with a one-handed sword. Louise said, "Anyway, I'll send you the one out this time, and you just have to write that taunting letter well." ”
