Chapter 426 - 426: Morning before departure part 2

What's Diana doing here? She's panting, not only because of her running and trying to get here as soon as possible, but also, because she's worried, worried about us. I can tell it in a glance

"Brother... I, Diana Rose, hereby declare your arrest by the name of our King." [Diana]

The first part, after she said brother, it isn't hesitation, but rather, confusion. Not the confusion of why did his brother siding with the meddling third party, but rather...

(Qis and the other guards. They're hiding it quite well. Even Diana herself. The fact that they just wake up from sleep that they don't want to) [Ash]

I see. I can tell what's happening. Three plot by three separate party, all center around the fake doppelgangers.

The first prince, trying to release them. I am not sure why, but knowing him, there's bound to be more and more reason

Diana, who wanted to capture the prince by her own hand, only to be put asleep under some sort of spell. The confusion part that I noticed earlier is simple, why didn't her brother finish her off for good when it's his best chance of doing so. Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to let the fake doppelgangers escape, kill Diana and put the blame on both doppelganger for killing a royalty and blame Diana for her incompetency

(Finally undone it) [Titania]

(Undone what?) [Elise]

(I'm surprised you didn't notice it, but it actually make sense. There is a sort of hybrid spell of doppelganger and devil being put on them, to make them fall deeper into coma) [Titania]

(We... We couldn't sense it at all) [Muse]

(How about you Brother Ash?) [Rean]

(Unfortunately no) [Ash]

(That's even more surprising. I reckon you're put under that very same spell plus being controlled by a devilish parasite at the same time. The fact that you didn't even realize the same spell being used on your future wife is worrying) [Titania]

(I see... I guess I really am incompetence) [Ash]

(Don't be too hard on yourself, none of us did) [Rean]

Well, the third party is us, the one that sort of succeeded on achieving their goal

So, to summarize

Diana, knowing her brother is up to something, make a plan to capture him --> Be put under a spell --> will be killed Should I not interfere with my own plan

Plus, looking at Linda's current state, I'm sure she's their go to should anything go south, but she's also equally, if not, even more affected by the spell than any of them. Most probably, Linda and the other assume petty trick won't work for someone who's the minion of god of death, but alas, lesson learn. I guess God of Life and Death power really do antagonize each other

By the way,

(Just what is the trigger for them to wake from their sleeps?) [Ash]

Better just ask her. I don't know what's with their long conversation, I'm sure it is sibling and political related stuff that I am not much interested, although by this point I should

Regardless, after being chained under a powerful spell, they brought the first prince into the same confinement back. Is it appropriate? Well, since we are all here, any attempt should be futile. For now, while awaiting King Estel, I should just ask Diana how she suddenly wakes up

"Charlotte call me. Somehow, just somehow, that actually wakes me up..." [Diana]

"A simple phone call? That's strange?" [Muse]

"Given the situation now, I guess we can attributes it to the goddess will" [Titania]

"Maybe. That's my best bet as well" [Ash]

Maybe. Since she's close to Rumia, who in turn close to the goddess herself. Plus, she basically is a nanny that take care of my siblings, so I'm sure Goddess Achalasia won't let all what she had done to vain

(Nanny... Pfft...) [Ash]

"I can tell you're thinking of something rude" [Diana]

"Of course not. How could I ever do something so cruel to you out of all people. Don't you trust me at all" [Ash]

"Suspicious..." [Muse]

"Coming from Muse, I say we got ourselves a case here" [Diana]

"Muse, just go back and flirt with Rean" [Ash]

"Already did" [Muse]

She said that while pinching Rean's nose, which understandably, make him blush.

"If Diana do that to me, it will look like a big sister doing it to her little brother. Maybe a nanny to the one she care" [Diana]

"Oh! So that's the rude thought you have just now!" [Diana]

And thus, the brutally nagging from her side started. Since the atmosphere is a relaxing one (minus the fact that the first prince is still inside the confinement room that is), she continues to nag at me and my blabber mouth.

(Geez... Nanny) [Ash]

"What was that!" [Diana]

"Nothing, my song bird" [Ash]

"Gosh..." [Diana]

And when did Charlotte and the other get here? Looks like they're with asking Titania what's happening

As such, it didn't take long for the King to get here, alongside the temper tantrums First Queen to come, demanding the release of her "good" well behaved son. I can agree with the well behaved part, but the good part, I could just show this video that we recorded earlier and

"And how could I believe such recording! You might use your magic to impersonate my son and frame him for any wrongdoing!" [First Queen]

"For that, we should let forensic magic expert and the court magician decide, don't you think" [Diana]

Not gonna lie, First Queen make a fair point. And what's with the forensic magic expert. First I heard of it

"Just show it later at the trial. As such, please submit the material to the court for evidence processing" [King Estel]

"I better make tons of copy. Who knows, they might accidentally burn the recording or slip it into the bottom of the Rock and Sea dungeon" [Ash]

Yeah, I don't want such accidents to happen, so I should make as many copy as possible
