'Capella, I would like to know about your organization and the magic you use.'

'Master Rid, what are you saying out of the blue ......?'"

I called Capella to my room and asked Deanna to leave the room.

Now Capella and I are alone, facing each other across the desk on the sofa.

When I asked Deanna to leave the room, she looked concerned, but when I told her "Don't worry, I'll scream if anything happens," she balked and left.

Is this the first time I''ve talked to Capella alone like this? 

And I had just asked Capella about the most important thing I needed to do.

Capella's face is seemingly expressionless, but he also looks a little confused by my question.

"I thought I threw a pretty direct question. Zach Riverton is the man behind ......, or perhaps it's the secret ...... that the Riverton family maintains."

'No, I'm good to go. I understand. What would you like to know?"

Capella responded with an air of disgust and contemplation.

To be honest, I don't know everything about their country's organization.

What happened in Renalute, and when he was present in "Toki Rera! This is a question that I have discussed based on his characterization when he was also present at the time of the event.

However, I am a little curious.

Why did he give up so quickly? 

I smile and tell him.

"All of it. Everything, from the reason Capella was so quick to tell me now, to the origins of the organization Zack manages. This isn't a request, it's an 'order,' okay?"

'Huh. ...... I understand. I am already a squire of Master Rid's. I will tell you everything I know ".

He exhaled and finished his sentence as if in contemplation, and returned my smile with an awkward smile.

Perhaps Zack has given him some instructions in case he is asked by me.

Incidentally, though, the awkward smile he showed me seems to be improving a little, perhaps thanks to Garn's guidance.

If I have to see this face every time, I might unintentionally crack my abs one of these days.

Capella looked a little thoughtful before he spoke, and then he opened his mouth.

, "...... if you don't mind, I would like to ask Deanna to be present as well, is that alright?:

:What? Is that okay?:

Yes, I would like her to be present. Deanna is my colleague,...... so we should share as much information as possible.:

Capella said without hesitation, his face expressionless as ever.

I nodded in agreement and approached Deanna, who was waiting outside the room.

I explained the situation and the circumstances to her and asked her to sit next to me and listen to Capella's story with me.

"Capella, do you expect me to be open-minded about something like this?"

"No, no, I just want to share information with you because Deanna is my colleague. Besides, the only person that Deanna is allowing herself to be open-minded with is Rubens."

Deanna probably meant these words as a check.

Capella, however, threw that check back at her in a cleverly worded manner.

If he had smiled in this situation, it might have been funny, but because of his expressionless face, it was a direct and direct hit.

"Na......⁉"

"Ha-ha-ha, this is... I'm sure he got one. It's true that the only person Deanna can allow her "heart" to be with is Rubens.

"Rid-sama !"

Deanna is unusually angry with a blush on her face.

Yes, what a good duo they are going to be.

A former knight's maid and a former darkie's butler.

There may not be many squires who are as dependable as they are.

I coughed to get on with my conversation, thinking so.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions. Capella."

.".....I understand. I will tell you everything I know.'

True to his word, Capella told us about Renalute's dark organization, the nina .

Renalute also has an army, but due to the low birth rate of dark elves, it is not possible to fight a war of attrition.

The army kept by individual forces is powerful, but if it is defeated, it could be involved in the survival of the country ...... so called "tiger children".

It seems that the Renalute has been using assassinations and intrigues for a long time to solve that problems.

It is said that the strategy of the country was to move in such a way that they could win or lose before the war started, and the "Shinshu" was born as a result of this strategy.

It is an organization created by bringing together talented people from various places, including the military and orphans, and giving them special training.

The raison d'etre of the Shinshu is "the survival of the nation," so if there were any foolish royalty in the history of Renalute, they would purge them.

I gulped and fearfully asked Capella.

I asked Capella with a gasp and a fearful look on my face,

"Prince Lacis was distorted by Norris, but Master Rid has rehabilitated him, so I think he'll be fine. Well, if push comes to shove, the head and His Majesty will move to 'correct' him."

Capella speaks without facial expression and without hesitation, so I think her words sound more harsh.

Correction" by Zack and Elias?

Just imagining it is scary.

I can only imagine how scary it would be, especially when Zack does it with a smile on his face.

"Prince Lacis, go for it, you can probably do such thinghs ......."

At that moment, Deanna seemed to have a question and asked Capella.

'You say that Prince Lacis was twisted by Norris, why did you let it happen?'

"......I can't answer that, that's a question ......'Ms. Deanna.'

"You ......⁉"

Capella deliberately refused to answer Deanna's question and glanced at me.

Deanna naturally noticed this, and after a huff, she was trembling with anger.

I'm sure this is just Capella's way of playing a joke, but I wish he'd consider my position in appeasing him .

I shook my head in disgust at the exchange between the two of them.

'Huh,...... Capella, it may be that you're answering "only what I'm asked", but you're the one who said you wanted Deanna to listen too, right? Or do you have an agenda? If that's the case, I dare say that you will tell Deanna everything she asks you as well as me. That's another 'order.'"

'Master Rid, you are indeed right. I understand. From now on, I will answer your questions as well. Deanna, I apologize for earlier.'

It seems that Capella wanted me to order him to talk to Deanna as well.

He may have some special rule in his mind.

When Capella finished, he held out his hand to Deanna as if asking her to shake his hand.

Deanna also tried to give her hand, but she suddenly stopped in the middle of her handshake.

Then she turned away with a tsk.

"⁉ Hmph, I'm not going to get used to this kind of thing.'

"I'm sorry. I will make every effort to earn your trust.'

Watching the two of them talk to each other, I knew they would make a good duo.

But if Rubens and Ellen saw them, they might be disappointed.

With this in mind, I asked Capella to continue with the explanation.
