I entrusted Isabella with a letter when I asked her to contact Alexandra directly. In addition to Isabella and Helmut, I have told the usual 4 what I heard from Hannah. Everyone who heard the story was furious. So am I. My anger rose so high I thought my blood was boiling.

But I can’t move easily. This is a deeply rooted story. It’s not as simple as just catching the perpetrator and it’s over. I think it’s nearly impossible to get Amelie and House Nassam to pay what they deserve. It is even more difficult to prove a connection.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stay silent. I have to somehow release Alexandra and give the criminals a certain amount of pain, even if I can’t completely crush them… if they get away like this, there is a high possibility that they will interfere with me again. It would be necessary to show that I have claws and fangs that will hurt you if I’m disturbed, I’m not just prey.

There is also the danger that if you suddenly write a letter about what I heard from Hannah and give it to Alexandra, she will immediately take action. Or, given the current state of my relationship with Alexandra, there is a possibility that my letter will be thrown away without even being read.

If by any chance, Alexandra threw this letter away without reading it, and the other family servants in Manor Nassam were to read it first, it would be a disaster.

I wrote it all down, though. I trust that Alexandra will read this secretly and act appropriately…

I also believe that Isabella will successfully persuade Alexandra before handing it over. And she believes that Alexandra will also read this letter properly.

At the end of the letter, I will write down my feelings and my determination to do something from now on, so please do not do anything hasty.

If Alexandra didn’t read this letter properly or acted hastily without heeding my restraint, it would mean that the bond between me and Alexandra was just that shallow.

I told myself that I would be fine and entrusted everything to Isabella.

I think Isabella did a good job. Isabella’s face is also known to Kaspar. So how did she get in touch with Alexandra alone without Kaspar knowing? I’m a little worried about her, but I’m afraid to ask, so I’ll leave it to Isabella.

More than that, I got a letter from Alexandra. It’s been a while since Isabella handed me a letter from her. Considering Alexandra’s situation, it would be dangerous to carry around a reply letter, but she probably did her best to write it and hand it to Isabella.

Exchanging letters too frequently increases the risk. But after that, Alexandra and I exchanged letters several times.

I looked at the bundle of papers that was handed to me as a reward for guiding Wilhelm and Dietrich to the crepe cafe. What was written there was amazing.

As expected of a King and a talented Prime Minister. What was written on that bundle of papers were the back books of Amelie and Duke Nassam, in other words, evidence of fraud.

Most of the injustices this time had nothing to do with us, so there shouldn’t have been much meaning for the two of them to give this to me. In the first place, if you make a mistake in using this, Amelie and the others will be ruined if they are thoroughly investigated. In that case, rather than being silently crushed, there is a high possibility of following the worst case of an armed uprising, civil war, and interference from other countries.

The intention of the two who gave me such a thing is probably just a first step. If I expose this injustice for a private grudge, the country will collapse. If I rush forward without judging such things rationally, they will probably decide that I will only be trouble for the country moving forward and will cut me off now.

Of course, it’s a risky gamble for those two as well. I think they gave it to me because they judged that there was a high probability that I wouldn’t do that. Still, that doesn’t mean I won’t use it. Even if I try to use this, there may be some way to stop me, but the risk is high. The fact that they handed me this even after such considerable risk is them nailing me to the wall with the point, “Don’t betray the Kingdom.”

Even I have no intention of taking over the Kingdom of Ploiss, destroying it, or dragging it into a civil war. As for me, I want to live peacefully while pioneering in the countryside and making new villages. For that reason, we must snuff out the sparks falling on me.

It’s proof that the King and the Prime Minister trusted me to have given this to me. There is no reason not to make effective use of it. We need to investigate and corroborate only the parts that are related to us. This document cannot be used as is. If we use it as is… decisive evidence will be found. Wait with bated breath, Amelie! And House Nassam, as well!

Today is the day I finally get to meet Alexandra in person. Far from being curt at school, there was a reason why she had an attitude that pushed me away. It seems that some of Alexandra’s entourage, who are under the influence of House Nassam, are watching over Alexandra. It’s getting more and more mysterious how Isabella came into contact with her under such surveillance, but I’ll put that aside for now.

In any case, if you’re close to me in a place where House Nassam has their eyes, you could be suspected at best and in danger at worst. That’s why Alexandra was trying to push me away. When I met her in person, she first apologized to me for that.

Of course, I’m not angry, and considering the current situation, I can say that things went well thanks to Alexandra. When I told her so, Alexandra cried as she jumped into my chest. Our two pairs of breasts pressed against each other are quite exquisite stimulation. It seems that I have awakened to some strange proclivity.

Anyway, there is a reason why I met Alexandra directly. A touching reunion is important, but it can be done even after everything is over. That I took the risk of meeting her in person was to have a meeting to resolve the current situation.

Leaving it as it is will not give a good result. When I asked Alexandra, she didn’t give a clear answer, but it seems that Alexandra’s marriage will be announced at an evening party hosted by Amelie. This must be stopped at all costs.

If it’s true, I want to look cool and save Alexandra. Unfortunately, that is not possible. In the current situation, we can only catch the perpetrators at most. If there seems to be no damage to Amelie and House Nassam, who are the masterminds, there is a high possibility that even if Alexandra is rescued this time, they will interfere again.

So… I might end up putting Alexandra in danger, but I’ll have to ask for her help. She took the risk of meeting me in order to discuss the method directly.

For the time being, one thing that has been decided is to make the criminal confess and have the King and other influential nobles hear it. I will take them to the room next to Alexandra and Kaspar. Alexandra presses Kaspar and makes him confess to the crime.

Naturally, the extent of Kaspar’s confession would not be evidence. In modern Japan, it would be investigated as a very important testimony, but in this feudal society, a commoner criminal confessing to being ordered by Amelie and House Nassam, who both boast top-class power in this feudal society, cannot bring them down.

I need another solution.

It’s not like I’m trying to completely overthrow Amelie or House Nassam. Again, if you do that, they will resist with all their might. If that happens, it could develop into a civil war that splits the country. If Ploiss were to enter a civil war, it would invite interference from neighboring countries. If things go wrong, it will plunge into a quagmire, a long-term war involving other countries.

I don’t want that either. Besides, if that happens, Wilhelm and Dietrich will move. That’s why it’s impossible to completely crush Amelie and House Nassam, so we should just give them some damage and make them quiet.

Show the involvement of Amelie and the others to some extent and damage them, but prevent them from reaching a fatal catastrophe. It’s easy to say, but will it work…? Worst of all, the evidence is lacking. If the perpetrator can be charged with a crime just by saying “I did it because I was ordered to”, then it would be easy to frame the alleged mastermind. Just a testimony will not spur an investigation.

If you can easily interrogate high-ranking nobles like that, it will also be abused. It would be nice to have your subordinate commit a crime and confess that he was ordered by a rival noble to do it. After that, you may be able to use it as an excuse to conduct an investigation that is inconvenient for the other party, or even fabricate a crime even if nothing comes out at all. If you think about it that way, you’ll understand that just because a criminal confessed doesn’t mean they’re going to investigate everything.

There must be something that doesn’t lead to a fatal catastrophe, but that they can’t get away with it, and makes Amelie and the others think that if they touch us, the damage will be too much. One more thing…if there is no conclusive proof… it’s not yet substantiated. The key to everything is whether or not we can make it in time…

At the evening party that was finally underway, I talked to Mikoto and calmed down. We should be ready. However, my feelings are running so high and restless. Mikoto calmed me down as if she were worried about my mind. Alexandra passes in front of us after I’m finally soothed.

Even when I called out to her, Alexandra passed by without responding. But it’s not like she’s angry about something. This is all according to the arrangement. I’m already in contact with Alexandra and have had various face-to-face meetings, so I won’t be shocked if she ignores me.

Then why did she go out of your way to pass in front of me even though we didn’t even exchange words? It’s to hand over the small notepad that’s in my hand right now.

Alexandra handed me a notepad as she passed. What is written there is where Alexandra and Kaspar’s waiting room is.

Since there are preparations in advance, the allocation of rooms to be used is decided for now. In particular, Amelie’s waiting room is decided in advance and will not be changed at all.

However, there is no basis for Alexandra’s room not to be changed. If it is changed suddenly, there is no point in waiting next to the room you knew she would be in before. If I were in the opposite position, I would have to prepare in advance, so I think about the possibility that the room allocation is known to the enemy. In that case, I might be able to outwit the enemy who might do something by suddenly changing the room just before or on the eve itself.

So just in case, I had to confirm with Alexandra where the waiting room was for tonight. It was a bit dangerous, but Alexandra kindly handed me the memo paper, so I was relieved. Mikoto also casually hid the exchange between me and Alexandra with her body.

I check the contents. Apparently, Amelie and the others didn’t think we would do anything. It seems that there is no change in the room allocation that was prepared in advance. Or do you think that no matter what we do, there’s no way we can turn this situation around? Let me tell you that being careless can get you killed.

Originally, Wilhelm and Dietrich were not supposed to participate in today’s evening party. The reason is simple: there is a large possibility that Amelie’s plans will be disrupted by their attendance.

If Amelie and the others announced the marriage of an aristocrat on their own without permission from both of them, there would be an uproar on the spot. Naturally, Wilhelm and Dietrich would deny it and invalidate the announcement.

However, if the marriage is announced while the two are away and it spreads among the high-ranking nobles, it will be difficult to cancel it later. It would take a lot of effort to make a denial official after the talk had spread to those who hadn’t attended the evening party. It will also be judged as the fault of the King and Prime Minister.

In the first place, do you think that there was nothing between those two people if the denial happened after the marriage announcement? It’s not like there are any particular beliefs about virginity, so just because it’s after the wedding night, they are no longer virgins! No one would make a fuss about such.

But even if it was a mistake, would anyone want to marry a noble daughter who was thought to have been slated to marry a commoner, even once? In addition, if the man is considered inferior and has so much more to gain from the marriage, there is almost nothing for Lingerburg to gain in turn. In such a situation, would anyone want to marry Alexandra who was engaged to a commoner before the union immediately fell through?

If that happens, even if the marriage is canceled later, it will leave a terrible scar on Alexandra’s reputation. From now on, she will not be able to live properly in the aristocratic society. So if they are announced even once and spread among the nobles, Amelie and the others win. Naturally, it would be a problem to have the King and the Prime Minister attend.

So they weren’t supposed to attend today. It was because Amelie used various circumstances to keep the two from attending. However, these two being here is a surprise. The surprised faces of Amelie and her allies when the two of them made their entrance made me laugh just by remembering that.

Those two headed to the waiting room with influential high-ranking aristocrats and those who hold important posts in the royal court. There is no one who refuses an invitation to leave the evening party and have a chat in the waiting room. A considerable number of people, including Amelie and Duke Nassam, came to the waiting room. Amelie’s complexion is clearly terrible. Because this room is next to Alexandra’s waiting room.

I asked Wilhelm to suppress the voices in the room where they were chatting for a while. And what you hear is the bombshell remarks in the next room.

Due to my magic, almost no sound from here is leaking to the other rooms. Kaspar over there probably doesn’t even realize that we’re listening in. Amelie raised her voice at the plots that were exposed one after another.

“What are you doing!? Guards! Catch the villain next door!”

“Wait! Listen to the end,” Wilhelm said. “If by any chance anyone interferes, they will be regarded as his collaborators and be charged guilty as well!”

Amelie tries to get the soldiers to rush in, and the King orders everyone not to move. Anybody would be able to see that if you wanted to disobey Wilhelm’s order, it’s because you didn’t want everyone to hear something inconvenient for you. Unable to do anything about it, Amelie choked, “Guh…!” and stared at me with a hateful look.
