The weak medicine… … I poured it all on the ground.

I just pickled a handful of seeds in the acidic solution I brought with me. Of course, I have no intention of leaving them behind just in case. I plan to take them with me and throw them away in the river.

It was a lord’s castle that stored important things, but surprisingly, the items were just in a warehouse.

Well, I guess I couldn’t find a reason to hide it.

It was a place where Count Hoover would look after you. In order to hit this place, you had to keep in mind with Count Hoover, and even if you were from a higher-ranking family than Count Hoover, that was an incredibly cumbersome task.

In fact, even from the Grand Duke’s point of view, it is a very cumbersome task. This is because although gold and iron are available, human resources are not infinite.

If we take out the people of Del Kishi, everything will work out, but now Del Kishi is stranded in the north.

… … Well, considering that Amelia in the original was so vicious, it could be said that her power is strong enough to ignore all of that.

There must be a reason why Amelia came up with this method.

There were almost no people in the mansion.

The humans who came out to chase the enemy all fell by our hands, and the rest were rushing to put out the fire. The lord was also away, so it was literally a robbery of an empty house.

but.

“Um.”

I heard a story from Amelia.

And it was also something I expected to some extent.

As I searched the house to find the evidence I heard from Amelia, I forcibly opened the locked door and found a person inside the room.

Isn’t this the home of humans who make ‘medicine’?

It was a slightly disconcerting sight to see people in a room that was decorated loudly—in other words, in many ways, it was decorated with ‘those’ tastes, mainly in pink—and it was a slightly embarrassing sight.

After seeing that those two people were beautiful women wearing clothes that barely looked like rags, I had a general idea of what was going on.

This was a ‘fiefdom’. It was not just a mansion.

Yeongju Castle and the village were not exactly next to each other, but there was probably a village underneath it anyway.

These two women were in that village… … I guess he brought it with him.

Seeing that both of them had their eyes open, they seemed to be out of their minds.

“… … .”

Without saying a word, I grabbed the wrists of the two people and lifted them up.

Those people got up without much resistance. Fortunately, they seemed to be able to walk. Still, they didn’t seem to have any inclination to cause physical damage, right?

Or just luck… … No, I can’t say they were lucky. They were already unhappy people at the time they were here.

When I came out of the mansion with the women on my back who had forgotten how to resist, my older brother was waiting for me.

“… … .”

Although my brother’s face wasn’t visible behind the mask, he seemed to immediately understand why I had brought these women with me.

The forest was literally on fire.

I was worried that the fire might not have started properly, but I think it’s okay to put that worry aside. It seems like there was a reason why people were so distracted by the fire. Even if we had a lot more magic crystals, we wouldn’t be able to put out the fire easily. .

My brother and I carried the women one by one and went into the forest where the fire had not yet started.

After running for a while, he stopped near the border of the barony and other nearby territories.

I could hear people’s voices from afar.

“What is the fire?Where is the fire coming from?”

“Isn’t it moving and pasting here?”

“It may be safe because there is a stream, but… … Still, you never know. Be sure to keep your guard up.”

My brother and I looked at each other and nodded.

And then he carefully put the women down.

I took out the dog leash I had brought with me when I was searching Yeongju Castle earlier, and put it around the neck of the dog that was following me.

And one end was tied to the woman’s hand.

My older brother was also doing something similar.

I stroked the dog’s head a few times and pointed to the border of the forest with my finger.

“Wait a minute.”

Perhaps the effectiveness of the medicine has diminished a bit since we got here?

One of the women opened her mouth.

Her eyes were still a little blank, but she opened her mouth while looking at me with those eyes.

“Thank you, thank you.”

“… … .”

My brother and I looked at each other again.

And I slapped the dog’s butt.

“Kung!”

The dog started walking in the direction I pointed, and the other dog followed behind. The women kept looking in this direction, but also staggered after the dog.

… … If this is the case, can it be said that he has saved face as a ‘righteous enemy’?

“Let’s get out before they notice on the other side.”

“Yes.”

My brother whispered softly, so we moved quickly.

The conversation with Baron Gavin continued boringly.

The main thing he said was bragging about his territory, which had good mountains and good water. At first glance, it seemed like a very unremarkable territory, but he still had the ability to make it up.

Of course, none of the three people here really enjoyed hearing those words.

Baron Gavin… … He looked like the ‘pig aristocrat’ that often appears in such works. His chin was three-layered, and the clothes he was wearing, made of high-quality fabric, were pulled too tightly to the point of pitifulness.

The mustache was curled at the end, and the hair was glued with oil and divided into five to five parts.

No, how could there be such a big difference in appearance between me and my son? … I didn’t think about it for that long.

Did you say that Baron Gavin’s wife died young? From what I heard, it seems like she was a noblewoman.

It looks like the son received his wife’s genes, right?

He said it as if he had let go of his beloved wife early and had a hard time raising his son… … Well, since he is a person who sells medicinal drugs, I didn’t really trust him. Rather, I wonder if he made overly unreasonable demands and made it short-lived.

“I think you know that my son has a crush on Lady Carlins.”

“… … .”

The Baron said while looking at Adele. Adele took a step back, and Diane came forward.

“Didn’t that story end that day?”

When Diane spoke in a slightly irritated manner, Baron Gavin shrugged his shoulders and let out a short laugh.

“Do you think it will be difficult to meet your close friend once he gets married, my lady? Then there is nothing to worry about. Johnny is a gentleman! If you want, I will let you meet him whenever you want.”

Diane probably doesn’t do that because she wants it.

Well, it was something that couldn’t be put into words.

“I am not good enough to marry a male writer.”

“There is no need to look down on yourself too much, Lady Carlins.”

Johnny said.

Just right.

And he rang his finger to stop the bell that was passing by.

He took the two drinks on the tray the servant was holding, one in each hand, and handed one to Adele.

Seeing his son in action, Baron Gavin couldn’t stay still, so he cleverly came this way, holding a glass in one hand and two glasses in the other.

“Hmm?”

And in the meantime, the crown prince looked at the glass in Adele’s hand and tilted his head.

Oh, that’s right. There was also a scene like this.

Of course, it wasn’t this event, but it was an event where the crown prince saw that the color of the drink in the glass was slightly different and realized that there was something inside.

“Lady Carlins, wait—”

“Baron Gavin.”

The moment the crown prince opened his mouth, someone called Baron Garvin.

When I turned my head, I saw a knight wearing a uniform rather than the armor he wears when on guard. Just standing in front of people wearing armor could be a threat, so the knights wore this type of attire for the banquet.

The knight made eye contact with me, bowed his head once in our direction, and then turned to face Baron Gavin again.

“What’s going on?”

“There was a message from the Baron’s estate.”

“From the territory?”

Baron Gavin’s narrow eyebrows became narrower.

“Hmm. Johnny, I will go out and listen to the story.”

“Okay, father.”

In many ways, he was very polite, different from the attitude we saw last time. Is it because the crown prince is in front of him, or is it because he realized too late that such an attitude is not a good way to win Adele?

Even if I realized it, it was too late.

“… … Lady Grattenmount. What kind of expression is that?”

The crown prince looked at me and asked, as if he was very uncomfortable.

“Oh my, what kind of expression are you talking about?”

When I asked again, the crown prince frowned.

“No, something… … It seems like something very pleasant has happened. Is it because of the fact that Baron Vienna left a little while ago?”

similar.

To be exact, it’s because I know the reason why I left.

What was it like in the original?

The Crown Prince, who did not want to lose Adele, moved, and the Crown Prince, who did not want to lose to the Crown Prince, moved.

They somehow collected evidence, robbed the medicine manufacturing site, and eventually went to Yeongju Castle and rescued the sex slaves inside.

The exact names of the victims are not revealed.

However, it was described as ‘a person who has fallen and is now a commoner’.

Although they are said to have fallen, they were once nobles.

Although they may be described as ‘commoners’, they are able to receive the sympathy of ‘nobles’ to some extent.

I wouldn’t know if it hadn’t taken me until the end, but after this incident, I could never hide it.

“Ah, wait a minute, Lady Carlins!”

The crown prince suddenly shouted like that, and I, who had been lost in my thoughts, was startled and looked towards Adele.

“Did you really drink that?”

“… … Yes?”

oh.
