Chapter 108 – Episode 98 – A New Justification! (3)
“Whoa, it’s going to be a bit long, but I’ll explain it from the beginning. Soon, elections for saints will be held in the royal capital. Have you ever heard of it?”
“Ah, that Clea was a candidate…”
Paul nodded, adjusted his glasses, and said.
“There were a lot of things to be concerned about for Clea to become a saint… But the thing I’ve been most worried about recently was the Serpent’s Fang guild that the two of them met.”
According to Paul, they were somehow suspicious of the people who were aiming for Clea, so they searched through the church’s information network and asked the lord to find out the information at the same time.
Not only the guild management office we inquired about, but also the lord of Ladia and the church, looking for information on the poisonous snake’s fangs, and wanting to know if there was something on the kingdom side, they definitely collected and sent their information.
First of all, the Serpent’s Fang Guild is a guild registered in the Royal Capital, and it is not a place with very strong high-level adventurers, but it is a wealthy semi-large guild with several companies managed by the guild.
And after investigating the place, the reply that arrived from the lord yesterday was… ‘There are no fatalities in the Fang of the Serpent’s Guild recently’.
“…That’s… Maybe…”
“Yeah. It is a troubling condition.”
“Ok? Why? Aren’t they just pretending to be a guild?”
I asked Lisbeth and Paul, who were frowning, and Paul answered with a wry smile.
“As you said, the possibility of impersonation is high, but in this case, there are other possibilities. It’s a fake guild member…”
A counterfeit guild member is not a guild member registered through the management office, but a guild member who obtained a guild crest issuing machine illegally and registered it.
The technology used in the guild crest issuing machine is a technology strictly managed by the royal family. If the issuing machine or technology is leaked, those involved say that it is a serious crime with at least life imprisonment, and in the worst case, the death penalty by tying up family or relatives. Well, what an aristocratic society. There is no car.
Issuing machines are distributed only to guild management offices in each region, and it’s okay because the magic related to security is thoroughly applied there… The problem is that the issuing machines that were leaked in the past exist.
Decades ago, the issuers were leaked and caused a commotion once. The Knights of the Kingdom came forward and collected or destroyed most of them, but it is said that about 2 or 3 machines are still missing. The Knights are still looking for traces of it.
“…But… What’s the big deal? It seems that you just made a guild member who is not registered in the kingdom…?”
“It is because there are many things that can be done with the experience sharing effect of the guild crest and other side effects… It would be a bit long to explain this. It is also related to the history of the kingdom, where the royal family and nobles are intertwined…”
After thinking for a moment, Paul said that he would recommend a book, so if you read it later in the library, you would understand.
“Anyway, going back to the story… It would be a nuisance if the Serpent’s Fang guild got their hands on the technology or the issuer related to the guild crest somewhere, and they are using it to do something. In that case, since it is a guild active in the royal capital, it would be quite dangerous for Clea to visit the royal capital for her saintly election.”
“Then…?”
Paul seemed to think for a while while drinking tea, then he looked at me with a serious expression as if he had decided something.
“I plan to leave for the royal capital tomorrow to confirm the guild’s information and at the same time to ensure the safety of Clea. In the current situation, if you just go to the capital… In the worst case, it will be a big incident that will overturn the church.”
Then Paul got up, took out a map from some sort of bookshelf, spread it out on the table, and said.
“It takes about a week to get to the royal capital if you take the fastest cart in Ladia… But how long would it take if Mr. Sema said that he would pick us up and move us?”
“Uh, well… Liz. This street…”
I asked Lisbeth, estimated the distance between the places I had traveled and the royal capital, and then made a rough calculation.
My horse form is tireless and much faster than normal horses, literally Malborghini. In addition, thanks to the skill, no matter how fast I ran, the people on my back were able to ride comfortably, considering that…
“Catch enough for a day? You can run at full speed from morning to night.”
“…I’ve heard of it, but you’re really fast. If so, I would like to make a request to you two, especially Mr. Sema.”
If Paul transported himself first, he would be gathering information in the capital and ensuring the safety of Clea, so a few days later he asked me to pick up Clea and bring him to the royal road.
“We plan to pack the minimum amount of luggage and entrust the rest to the Wangdo Travel Merchant. Originally, I was supposed to leave in about a week with my luggage, but… Since Sema-san is here, I want to do this for Clea’s safety.”
“Can I just move you?”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask you to escort Clea in the capital. After arriving at the capital, the knights are escorted, but… It’s hard to blindly trust people you don’t know. If it’s the two of you who have been close to Clea lately, I can trust you… How is it?”
Paul said that he would arrange accommodation and meals in a fairly decent place in the royal capital, while at the same time offering a high reward of 20 gold coins. Considering that there are only two of them, the amount is considerable, but… It seems a bit long that the period of being in the capital is over a month.
Concerned about her period, Lisbeth nodded as she poked my side. Seeing that she nodded her head while laughing at something, it seemed that she was interested in the royal road.
What… Yes If Lisbeth is okay, it’ll be fine.
I nodded her head in agreement, and Paul folded the map and said, smiling as if he was relieved.
“Thank you. Then, the details of how to move…”
As a result of talking with Paul for a while, it was decided that we would first move Paul to the royal capital tomorrow and then go to the royal capital with Clea five days later.
We will arrive earlier than originally planned, but we decided to follow Paul’s idea that the snowy royal road would be safer if he didn’t notice anything else while he was gone.
Well… No matter what happens, I’ll stick to Clea and protect her. Absolutely no other purpose. Cancer.
“Then… Clea. Will it be okay?”
“…Whoa. Okay. Paul, do what you think.”
Eh… Quiet Clea is too cold for Paul. Aside from talking about it, even the expression on his face seems a bit tired…
Is this because you compared me to Paul? Anyway, isn’t the effect too good?
Contrary to my impression, Paul nodded her head with a satisfied expression and told me the time to leave tomorrow.
“Then, see you tomorrow. It’s a somewhat unreasonable schedule, but please take care of it.”
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
As I walked out of the building and onto the church lawn, Lisbeth asked, poking her in the side.
“Wasn’t Clea’s attitude towards Paul a bit strange?”
“It did. What Liz suggested works for sure.”
She said while stroking Lisbeth’s head, and Lisbeth tilted her head as if something was wrong.
“Um… It’s way faster than I thought… This is…”
Did she exceed Lisbeth’s expectations with her proposal? That’s what…
“You mean it won’t be long before Clea will be mine?”
“…Well…”
What. It’s a little embarrassing when the person who made the proposal responds in such a subtle way.
Just as I was thinking that, I suddenly heard Clea running towards me and calling for Lisbeth.
“Lee, Lisbeth! Wait!”
Clea, who had run anxiously, stopped in front of us and called out to Lisbeth with her breath.
“Ha, ha… Lee, Mr. Lisbeth… As for what I was talking about earlier…”
“…Heh… What about Paul? Aren’t you the one who promised marriage?”
“…That, that…”
“…Foot. Master. Wait a minute. I’m going to talk to Clea.”
Lisbeth took Clea, who hesitated as she stared at me, to a place a little further away.
As I watch the two of them conversing, I see Lisbeth nodding her head and making an aha look.
What the hell are you talking about? Seeing Lisbeth suddenly giggle, I think it’s good news.
Soon the two returned, stood in front of me and nodded to each other.
“Then. Mr. Clea. As I said earlier…♡ Prepare well♡”
“Oh okay. Mr. Lisbeth… Then. I’ll see you next time, Mr. Sema.”
I looked at Lisbeth and asked as Clea greeted her and headed to her nuns’ dormitory.
“What did you two just talk about?”
“A story the owner would be satisfied with♡ Fufufu… Ahaha♡”
Lisbeth giggled for a moment, then she wiped her tears and then with a refreshing smile she said:
“Oh~. While my master and I were making love, Paul did the right thing. Yes. It’s beyond my expectations.”
“Ok? What did Paul do?”
“Giggle… Clea’s reaction did something understandable.”
Mmm… Paul. What have you done? To the extent that the way he showed himself for Clea today was meaningless at all.
“What the hell did you do?”
“Giggle… The details are a secret♡ If the owner really wants to know, I’ll tell you, but it’s more fun not knowing yet♡”
“Five? Are you looking forward to that? Then… Shall we trust Liz for once?”
“Whoops… One thing I can be sure of… Clea will be reborn as the master’s female while she is in the royal capital♡”
That’s right… I’m already excited about this. In a month or so, Clea will become my female…
Lisbeth’s words made my junior aroused, so I quickly returned to the dorm while massaging Lisbeth’s butt.
