Perhaps Cyril could tell that Algis's harsh attitude towards him at the first meeting slowly softened. The man who had the title of a crown prince called him to join earlier. He could see Captain Fearish's displeased look. However, his captain could do nothing in front of a higher power.
Cyril thought hard. "Because if Princess Adriana knew you were coming, she would have been the first to greet us." Or it could be that the maids will be waiting at the door, so they can lead them to a room they can use.
"That's true!" said Borneo.
Cyril could breathe a little easier. He then closed his eyes and tried not to notice the presence of Algis who was looking at him intently, attentively.
"Such conjectures cannot convince you and insist, Cyril! I see it! Your gaze says that you know! That's why the maid tried to run away in fear!"
Cyril laughed, rubbing his head. "Just luck, Your Majesty! How could I have known while I was with you. I'm not a fortune teller!"
Algis clapped once. "That's what I wanted to say! You must be good at fortune-telling too, right?"
Cyril didn't know what to say. Should he laugh like Algis. Or the shock and pain of being accused without evidence.
"Your Honour! Just making a warp already surprised me half to death. Could it be you who have such abilities!"
Either way, Cyril had to be able to escape. The way he could think of was this being done.
"I don't have that great ability! Maybe it's just luck!" Algis said weakly.
Seeing the male lead with a painful expression, made Cyril irritated. Even though he doesn't have anything how to seize all the things that the antagonist is fighting for. How can the writer be so selfish? Cyril expressed his protest in his heart.
"You need to put in the effort, Your Majesty. If you don't have any magic, then just collect it. If you can't wield a sword, it's only necessary to have the sword masters on your side."
Algis tilted his head, smiling. "You sound like a parent advising his child."
Borneo coughed a little. "This time I dearly agree with Knight Cyril, Your Majesty."
Cyril and Algis' chatter stopped for a moment, the door opened and a servant came in with tears in his eyes.
"Bella!" Algis called out the maidservant's name.
The maid was startled, raised her head, and the tears flowed even harder.
"Your Honour! Forgive me. I can't even keep the Princess safe!" said the maid who had just entered. "Forgive me! Forgive me!" the door repeatedly.
Indeed what a maidservant could do. Cyril thought that the maid named Bella shouldn't be begging like this.
"Stand up, Bella! Calm yourself!" told Algis. "Where is Princess Adriana?"
Bella shook her head. "They locked the Princess in the room with me until a few hours ago. Then Young Master Ferdinand took him out! I don't know where the Princess was taken!"
Algis exhaled, looking at each of the knights who were with him including Cyril. Then his gaze stopped on Fearish.
"Have you guys combed the whole house?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We have also gathered the knights in the residence. However, it seemed that only a few of them knew about the Count's plans. There are only people who don't know anything."
Cyril remembered the woman who greeted them at the door. The proud woman of his wife Count Affonso, and his father Adriana.
"Your Majesty, pardon me for interrupting," Cyril spoke up. "Shall we ask the Lady of the House this matter? He probably knows where the Count and his son are taking their stepson!"
There seemed to be several people who had the same thoughts as Cyril. He didn't understand why he was silent. Borneo, who seemed very satisfied with Cyril's proposal, also seemed to give him a chance to stand out.
"Bring here the Mistress of the Freifau Residence!" exclaimed Algis.
The old maid who had told her where Bella was begged back, not to do that. "Forgive our mistress, Your Majesty! Please keep his honor!"
Cyril grinned uncomprehendingly. What honor is more important than the lives of others, a life that is also valuable for oneself?
"Show me the way!"
Algis didn't budge at all with the maid's request. It shows itself in the right place.
The old servant was carried away in tears. His dedication deserves thumbs-up. If only he worked elsewhere, then he must have looked so brilliant.
It wasn't long before the lady of the Freifau residence arrived. Eleanor Freifau, walking with her chin raised, haughty, still the same as before.
"I gave wrong to the hope of the kingdom!"
There was always an answer to every greeting the members of the nobility gave to the royal lineage, as was another wish that was voiced. It was just that Algis chose not to answer. According to Cyril, the action Algis took was correct.
"Tell me where did Princess Adriana go?"
Eleanor looked uneasy. He looked fearfully at Algis, then Cyril, and turned to all the knights surrounding him.
"I don't know Your Majesty. He was taken out of the residence this morning."
"No one knows?" Algis looked annoyed. "What was the purpose of him being taken out?"
Eleanor was silent for a moment, seemingly in deep thought. "It has to do with my son's magic, Ferdinand!"
Ferdinand Magic? Cyril knew little about it.
Compared to Adriana, Ferdinand's magic was nothing. Apart from not having a lot of magic power, Ferdinand also didn't have a talent for the sword. In the story, two months after rescuing Adriana from a black beast attack in Varden Fortress, there is a group of mages who find a way to increase the magic capacity of others. Using the power stones obtained from the mines in the Freifau area. However, on his first try, the magic stone poisoned the magician, turning him into something that couldn't be called a human.
How did the stories overlap like this? I don't understand! Don't understand at all! Cyril thought, covering his face with one hand. His head was throbbing violently.
It forces the body from within this story to remember everything. That way he can find faults, bright spots, and then solutions.
At this rate, I will die faster without finding a way to escape! He spoke again in his heart and did not accept.
"Cyril? There is something? You got a shadow?"
Cyril forgot that Algis accused him of predicting the future. No, it's not like that exactly. He wanted to explain.
"Every power stone mine. Looks like we have to go over there to check!"
Cyril heard the sound of a sword being pulled out. He did the same and their swords clashed. Fearish's face was not friendly at all. It wasn't just anger, there was resentment there, hatred for which Cyril had no idea why.
"You! You're also part of this plan aren't you?" accused Fearish.
Cyril chuckled. Well, from the point of view of the knight guard the prince must be very suspicious. "Okay, I'm suspicious! But, you shouldn't have killed me right away, right?"
"Sheath your sword, Fearish! What are you doing!" Borneo warned.
"We're leaving for the Evort mine. Ask the knights from this area to show you the way!" Algis gave the order.
Fearish sheathed his sword again. The look is still the same as before. "I'll be watching you, Cyril!" said Fearish as he passed Cyril.
