Chapter 14 - Prologue

Two weeks after the incident in Gozes. I, the Duke of Nelson Deer Baldeck, are organizing the paperwork for that case.

"There are no flaws in the documents. Do you just stamp them?"

When you pick up the seal, attach it firmly to the red meat so that the seal will stick to the paper properly. Then, carefully push the stamps with red meat one by one.

"... Hmm, this is the end of the work in this case."

Check each bundle of documents that you have just stamped, just in case you forget to mark them, and after reading all of them, put them together and stack them on the next bundle.

"The older brother who heard this incident also said that he would continue to investigate this matter in the country. Maybe he is living the same busy days as me ..."

After arresting Grubert and confirming that Gozes's General Guild Branch was okay, I returned to the royal capital to return to the dragonfly to write a report.

And in the last two weeks, there have been decisions on the trials of the three principals caught in Gozes.

Grubert is one of the international laws originally decided by intercontinental talks, and the crime of illegal slave trade is sentenced to death regardless of status. However, Grubert Langut was sentenced to death, but it was also taken into consideration that he cooperated with the investigation into this case and confessed obediently. It was.

Grubert himself told the judge that he should be put to death because he has done so far. He told the judge, but if he feels guilty, he must remember that consciousness and live a legitimate life, and in the future it will be for someone, not for himself. Do. I told Grubert.

Grubert, who heard the judge, knelt on the spot and cried and thanked him.

His former chairman of the Bruma Slave Company, Bruma Slave Company, who had been selling illegal slaves in partnership with a second Grubert, was sentenced to death on trial for illegal slave trafficking. But he said he was banished from the continent and why I was sentenced to death! !! I tried to appeal, but I couldn't.

Because to appeal, you have to pay the appeal fee, that is, the money that Razbeth Bruma earned from wrongdoing has been seized by the country, and the money earned in the main business is said to be innocent. The death penalty was confirmed without appeal because it was only good, and he was executed with the employee who was involved next weekend.

Debutor, the third former adventurer's guild chief, becomes a criminal slave with the attempted assassination of the chairman of the General Guild of Leberant, the assassination of the former Gozes lord, and the many wrongdoings that have occurred in the city. It was dropped and sent to a dangerous guild, but there was one problem.

"It was surprising that the rest of the Debutor were decapitated and dead in the woods."

According to the records of our soldiers, they were killed by bandits. It is supposed to be said, but is it really true? If you ask Elleina, will you say the same thing as a Reedgarm soldier?

"... Would you like to talk to Elleina about this?"

By the way, why don't she come to the royal capital from Guell when she breaks up and join the Knights? She was invited, but she is grateful for the invitation, but ... I want to live freely now, so sorry Guell. But don't worry, I will go to the royal capital when I save money. I was saying.

"Freedom ... I'm sure she wants to have an adventure rather than becoming a knight. Umm ... OK!"

When I take out a blank sheet of paper from the drawer, I pick up a pen and write letters. I decided to write a letter to Elleina in Gozes to hear the opinion of the death of the remnants of Fattor. She might see the death of the remnants from a different direction and give a different answer than her soldiers.

When I finish writing the letter, I ring the doorbell in the corner of the desk and call the servant. And after waiting for a while, the door is tossed! You can hear the tapping sound.

"Get in"

Excuse me when I open the door. Said in front of the room, and the butler Meldin came in.

"What do you want? Nelson?"

"I wrote a letter to Elleina in Gozes, so arrange for it to be delivered via Gozes's General Guild."

"Is it Gozes ... I just received a letter from the General Guild Chief of Gozes to Nelson."

"What? What happened again?"

"I don't know because I haven't read the contents of the letter, but I don't think it's an urgent matter. Unlike the letter I mentioned earlier, the name isn't scribbled."

"Really"

I receive the letter from Meldin, open the seal and check the contents of the letter.

"Oh! Is Elraina coming to the royal capital? That's right! Will you let the Guells know? I'm sure you'll be happy!"

"Then, should I stop sending the letter to Gozes and tell Hondo that Elleina is heading to the royal capital?"

"Please do that, Meldin"

"Understood"

Meldin said so, excuse me in front of the door. He left the room after saying.

By the way, when Elleina comes, do you thank him for that time after hearing about the remnants of Debutor? Also, her wife wants to meet Elleina. She said, so she has to meet. But ... is it okay? Her wife is herself ...

Ton ton.

"Hmm? Put"

"Excuse me"

Hmm? Meldin. I should have just left, but ... Did I leave what I asked for to another servant? No, but I can't do that because he has a strict personality.

"What happened?"

"It was said that his Amy Listett of the Second Knights came here and Elleina arrived at the royal capital."

I wonder if Elleina has already arrived! !! What is it? Hmm?

"It seems that he will go to the general guild and complete the requirements before heading here."

"Well, I see ... I understand."

"How was it done?"

Meldin stares at my face as if worried.

"It's okay. Don't worry. But I don't think there will be any bad things happening. Is it a bad day today? Well, it's good because it saves time."

"There is nothing like the left. Rather, Elleina-sama can come to Nelson-sama's mansion. I think I was lucky."

"Well, it depends on how you think."

"Mr. left. Then I will bring you some tea."

"Oh, ask"

After saying that, Meldin left the room again.

But is it due to the fact that Elleina thinks it's pretty early to reach the royal capital? This letter has just arrived, right?

I take my pocket watch out of my pocket and look at the current time.

"At 9:30, it will take a little longer for a shared carriage ... Did you go to the stables and rent a horse instead of coming with a shared carriage?"

Rent a horse is a bit pricey, but you can get there faster than a carpool.

"Oh? By the way, when I broke up, and I couldn't control it on a horse," he said with a bitter smile. "

So how did she come from Gozes to the royal capital, which took nearly four hours to walk?

"Did Elraina lie to me that she couldn't ride a horse?"

I concluded so. And if she doesn't have any problems and comes here, don't worry about how she got here from Gozes.

"Well, if you drink tea, do you prepare to meet you?"

Nelson leaned back on his chair and waited for tea while looking at the view of the garden through the window.
