105 [38] Huh?

The ceremony did not have the atmosphere to continue, so the day was open.

Belta pulled up to the palace where her room was, and was curious to hear about it from one of the officials who was walking beside her.

I wonder what happens to those monks.

The official replied that nothing seemed to happen.

"Come on, at least it's a death sentence."

"... eh?"

Huh?

I thought it was a mistake, but the official also asked Berta back and leaned.

"His Majesty has been particularly tough on those monks yesterday.There will also be an appointment ceremony next year.At least until next spring, we will 'clean' the church in an effort to clean up the disturbed. "

The official repeats his words while Berta is in a state of nervousness.

"Well, thank you very much for what Her Highness said!I was heartbroken when I said, "For God's sake, for God's sake, and for those who remember foolishly."What do you intend to believe against His Majesty's will to rule the country?Those monks don't know. "

The official's words didn't catch my ear at all.

"... Your Highness?"

Belta stopped her feet on the spot without thinking.

The escorts and maids walking behind me paused slightly in a hurry.

... I thought we should talk about what happened today when we met at night.But I realized that it was too late, and Belta felt like she had been suddenly caught in cold water.

"Where is His Majesty at this hour?"

"Hee... I think you should come to the office."

I'll be right there.

Somehow, I had a heartbeat and couldn't help it.

The guards and ladies rushed after Belta, who quickly changed direction to the palace in front of him without waiting for the leader.

"Please wait, Belta."

Your Highness, your safety is paramount.

The guards who had been stranded since the other day stopped Belta with such a sad voice, but with little regard for their voice, Belta hurried to the office to which she was accustomed.

Belta will soon realize that her concerns were not at all worrisome.

― ― In short, it seemed that the monks who were in front of the gate were too bad at the contents and methods of the abandonment.

The King's office is located in a particularly heavily guarded area, deep within the Royal Palace, of course.The guards who stood on the road until they reached the office paved the way to Belta as usual in silence.

But the guard standing in the hallway in front of the office was just as pale against Belta, who tried to put his hand to the door in silence.

"... please wait, Your Highness!"

They know, of course, that there are no plans to visit Belta at this time today.

"Your Majesty is currently in the middle of a discussion with our close associates."

"No one can disturb you."

Nevertheless, even though they say so in their mouths, they didn't seem to be willing to stand up in front of the queen and guard the door.

Get out of there.

Being chased by guards and chamberlains with a mouthful of restraint, Belta walks past the back office door.

――……

At that moment, all those who were making noise kept their mouths shut.It's already in Harold's office.

"Berta... is that you?"

In the room, Harold, who thought he was sitting at his usual desk, stood near the outside door.

"I thought it was noisy."

Seeing the interior at the edge of his vision, it seemed that there was also Sergio inside.The faces in the square in front of her, including Sergio, looked pale.

The room seemed to be filled with a serious atmosphere until just before.

Was that the incident at the gate earlier?

"Yes, but we're done here."

It seemed as though he was about to leave the room now.

From the faces of people outside of Harold in the room, it can be seen that the conclusion of the discussion was never pleasant.

He didn't even try to look Berta in the eye, and obviously pushed her so hard, he even tried to get out by her side, no matter what.

Please wait.

Harold ignores the words of restraint.Knowing that it would be ignored, Belta grabbed him in the arm and confronted him from the front, knowing that it was improbable and rude.

"--Wait!"

The air froze in the place where it was even stiff for a drink to the king.

But I couldn't afford to worry about that now.

"How are you going to punish those monks?"

Harold lay down with a smile, asking a clear question.

"I know, so I guess I've come this far. You're in such a hurry."

I always have dinner with each other on unscheduled days.I've been busy lately, but I haven't seen her for as long as I thought I'd been free.

But for some reason, now he feels so far away.

"... I don't think today is a crime worthy of death."

But they stagnated the service, and exposed themselves to indecency before the people of the kingdom, and mischievously made the peace worse.They need to be severely punished to prevent such problems in the future. "

No, no, no, no.

Sergio said that he would have repeated it many times from the room while Berta was stunned.

"... Your Majesty, we are also responsible for delaying the ceremony.Under these circumstances, I should not have asked Her Royal Highness for a seat lightly.It was also our fault that they were summoned. "

Sergio's subordinate officials had taken it for granted to die, but Sergio himself did not.I was a little relieved to know what to do if all the officials in the front were like that.

"It was nothing more than the negligence of the gate soldiers to gather the people in front of the gate and leave them alone.Please hold me, their superior, accountable. "

It was the warden who was in the same room and lowered his head.

But Harold doesn't seem to share his loyal subordinates' advice this time around.

"You should also thoroughly take measures from the following.But what has already happened cannot be helped.Unless the monks are punished, there may be false rumours of rude escalation to royalty. "

"Your Majesty"

Belta wanted to hold her head, but nevertheless managed to offer her hope for a discussion with him.

"Would you like me to pay you?"
