Chapter 11

Elven Village

There was a conference room in the royal palace

The chief vassal and other involved officials gathered there, discussing the uards

The people unanimously voiced their co carried away”

“Are they planning to take the budget for the saints bodyguards out of the royal palace’s funds?”

“There’s also the hness Julian and his crewIf wethe plan, on’t kno they’ll react”

They viewed Marie beco the saint as a problem

They believed that of all people, the most troublesoetting a hold of the for the heirs of other prestigious noble households

It see Julian, who fell in love with the saint, and were planning to have hiain

It was obvious that they were trying to seize power

Within thevenue, Anjie’s father Vince also happened to be present

Vince was a duke, but due to Julian losing his position, his faction shrunkHe appeared to the , but had little influence

He watched over theand its course of events

A noble of the royal court, “Bernard Fier Atlee,” whispered to Vince in a low voice

Bernard, as pluht confirht?”

“Even if I were to oppose, it wouldn’t change the decisionYou already know that──Minister”

Bernard worked as a minister

He was an earl who distanced hi faction, a faction centered around the marquis named “Malcom Fou Frampton”

Furthermore, he was Clarice’s father

“I personally feel a bit aard about it since I’m indebted to him, but it’s a fact that he’s the only suitable personI can’t help but give hiuardianshi+p, nor is he my pupilThere’s no need to worry about it”

As they were speaking, Frampton opened his mouth

In response, the nobles shut their mouths

Frampton, a slim marquis, was tall and had deep wrinkles on his face

His nose was long and his beard reached down to his chest

His facial features were profound and his eyes were large, as if they would pop out

(He seeh he tried to hide some of his tiredness with makeup, Vince could perceive his state

“It seeht outNow then, I would like to make this venue’s opinion the opinion of the royal palace, but are there any objections?”

When Fralanced around, nobody offered any opposition

Vince was the same

(──What a farce)

He already knew that this had turned into awithin the faction

Frampton looked at Vince, narrowed his eyes, and made a smile

It was the face of so I’d like to say about the duke Redgrave household, but we’re here to talk about the kingdomI want you all to understand that”

“Even when I didn’t voice any opposition?”

After Vince replied, a young noble from Frampton’s faction stood up and announced the matter of the decision

“Well then──Viscount Leon Fou Baltfault will be appointed as the couards”

The surrounding people voiced souy as a bodyguard of the saint?”

“At least we can track his whereabouts by finding where the bodyguards are”

“The issue is that guy’s lost iteet a hold of it before the te a hold of a treasure he obtained froainst national policy”

“Perhaps if he were to relinquish it of his own accord”

“Would that really be okay though?”

Those ere alert about Marie raised voices of concern about Leon’s disposition

In a short period of tiious nobles had successively been ensnared by her

Next, Leon ht be the one who’s ensnared

If that were to happen, perhaps he would take the side of the te noble boldly responded to such voices of concern

“I understand how all of you feelHowever, during suhness Julian and the others in a duel, further the audience speechless despite it being their second duelSince he has such a relationshi+p with them, he will not be swayed by the saint”

The crude noble suy”

While others understood and htly raised his hand

Everyone’s gaze focused on him as he spoke

“Hmm, everyone’s concerns about Viscount Baltfault are valid thoughHow about viewing thisthe lost item?”

Vince objected in response to those words

“Do you doo unchecked”

“Duke Redgrave──no, VinceWe’re only investigating if it’s appropriate for hi that ill take anythingIt all depends on his qualities”

The surrounding nobles began to speak their thoughts, saying “Indeed, leaving this alone would be a hazard”

“If we’re not taking anything right away, then it shouldn’t be a probleuy”

“We can’t say that he has no ill intentions”

Theoverrun by the opinions of Frampton’s faction

“No co the power of that lost itehter is quite close with Viscount Baltfault, isn’t she?”

Fralared at Vince

“──Do as you please”

(Did they intend on taking the lost itelad we could co people looked at Vince not as the leader of the forest faction, but as a has-been

(Now then, hoill things turn out?)

Vince quietly thought about the future

I was on the deck of the airshi+p Partner

I was glaring at Marie and her followers

“──This is the absolute worst”

Luxon floated next totowards the sa her life like so? Leaving that aside, as it necessary to bring out Partner?]

Partner is my shi+p, modeled after the spacecraft that is Luxon’s ned to iuise

Luxon, who created Partner, cherishes it as if it were its own child

Now it beca out this shi+p after Marie’s proposal to go on an adventure

Due to her proposal, the very first person asked to arrange a shi+p──wasout the shi+p and lend it to anyoneThis is really the worstI feel disgusted having to follow those orders”

Just looking at Marie brings up er sister froer sisters in ht heartless, but she was cruel too

[At any rate, you’re the coht Master?]

“Don’t bring that up! I did not want to agree to it at all”

To think that they considered uards

Are those royal palace officials idiots?

Marie, being pahter

Cara also being there caught my attention, but what further piqued my interest was Marie’s exclusive servant

A pretty boy who goes by the na earsHe looked like a middle school student

He was supposed to be the exclusive servant of the protagonist, Livia, but was taken by Marie

He had a bit of a sassy look and seee

He separated fro up into the sky alone

“What’s the matter, did the followers steal your master?”

When I spoke out to him, Kyle turned around and replied

“──Could you not speak to me? I’m not fond of you”

The irritated Kyle spoke bluntly

I’ ravated me

“Don’t be like thatI’ll toss you into the sky”

This is a world where the ground floats in the sky──so being tossed outup in the sky rather than the sea

Despite that, Kyle laughed scornfully

“What could you gain by doing such a thing? You’re the type of guy who backs down if lashi+ng out in anger would otherwise result in being punished”

I got quite annoyed at how accurate he was

Indeed, I didn’t actually intend to throw hiuy if I did that

All things considered, I thought of hiame, but──now that he’s real, he really is quite iet you for this”

When I left a parting remark, he replied with “Those are the words of a delinquent who runs away after losing”

When I was about to lose

[Master, Olivia and Anjelica are here]

When I turned around, a delighted Livia and slightly excited Anjelica approached

“Leon, I can see the floating island we’re heading towards!”

“We’ll be landing there soonPrepare a campsite near the historic ruins! We’ll be the ones to find treasure first!”

Livia, with sparkling eyes, looked forward to seeing a genuine historic ruin

However, Anjie──acted as expected of an adventurer’s descendant

Hearing the words adventure and historic ruins, it seemed that treasure was on her h to not need any treasure, right?”

“RightHowever, finding treasure is ht”

It’s quite rare for the usuallythis childish

“Rather than treasure, I’ a historic ruinI’m interested in how ancient humans lived”

Livia was full of curiosity

The only saving grace in this situation is the enjoyment those two have

“You two sure see out Partner was a hile decision”

“You have eon in the royal capital, but being an adventurerto unknown sites”

──I accepted Marie’s proposal because these two showed interest

I would have refused if Marie was the only thing I took into consideration

As the two spoke a

She gavefroht, soI want to find treasure soon”

When I glared at Marie while saying “What did you just say?”, Marie got frightened and averted her gaze

She rese ry

“E, err, I’d like for you to prepare landing~that’s all”

None of Marie’s folloere around her as she got nervous

Since Anjie was there, the followers took their distance

Anjie’s eyes changed a bit when she looked at Marie

“──Leon is the owner of PartnerDo you have a complaint about Leon’s conduct, Saint?”

When Anjie closed the distance, Marie quickly fell back

“Jilk Fier Memoria” then stepped in between Marie and Anjie

He had green hair and a gentle aura, but was a black-hearted guy in reality

Currently, he and “Greg Fou Seberg” were acco Marie as her escorts

The other three were busy with other things

“Anjelica, what do you plan on doing with Marie?”

Jilk is Julian’s foster brotherFurtheruardsNo wait, did I get right?

Since Julian lost his position along with Jilk and the others being disinherited, their standings are quite unclear

“──What? I was just being a little careful”

I felt relieved upon seeing Anjie step down quietly

“Don’t run your mouth too muchWe’ll make sure to land properly and we’re also in the process of other arrangeave her understanding, I could sorasp from her expression that she felt the opposite way

I feel unpleasant knowing that I can understand her e black hair arrived to the deck

She was a thin girl with pale skin and characteristic red eyes──”Hertrude Sera Fanoss”

“Oh, it see for you all”

Anjieas if annoyed

“I didn’t think you would co”

She was the princess of the Fanoss Principality, though she’s currently semi-forced to study abroad

Luxon came close to my ear and spoke

[It see the shi+p]

“What is the kingdo as far as to force this person onto me?”

Princess Hertrude──err, Hertrude is not exactly theperson

It seeitate Fanoss Principality’s retreating ars like “Hey, how does it feel? How does it feel for an adult to lose to a kid? How does it feel for knights and soldiers to lose to students?”

I took the opportunity to kidnap this person, avesensation

“Your airshi+p is quite big, Viscount BaltfaultI got lost because of that”

“My apologiesAnyways, where did your caretaker go? You shouldn’t wander around alone”

“We lost sight of each otherI couldn’t do anything”

There’s supposed to be a caretaker, or rather a student keeping an eye on her, by her side

However, perhaps due to the students scattering, she had been walking by herself

Luxon spoke in a quiet tone

[The person watching over her intentionally left Hertrude alone]

Is there soive up

When I glared at Hertrude, she turned away

“Please don’t look at me with those indecent eyes”

Perhaps it see at her with indecent eyes, but her slender figure is not toat all

It’s also a shame that her barren chest is at the same level as Marie

“──Sorry”

“W, why are you looking atthat for?”

Anjie stepped in between us to blockher opposition

“Let’s leave it at thatWe should prepare to get off the shi+p soon”

As we talked, Partner arrived at a floating island where elves lived

It was unlikely that the harbor could take in a such a big shi+p like Partner, and once we reached the location, Luxon began preparations to land

Upon landing on the elven island, the girls gave instructions while the guys carried their luggage

Their exclusive servants were standing by their side

“Hey, don’t treat e so recklessly”

“S, sorry”

nobody thought about having the slaves carry the cargo

The reason being that for the girls, their exclusive servants were slaves, but at the same time were lovers as well

The boys knew that if they would be in trouble if they tried to order the exclusive servants around, so they didn’t push their luck

As the boys were busy

“Co, the one who spoke tolike ere friends

“Don’t call”

“You’re the coht? In that case, you’re our coards, Co, do I really have to be the couys?

Hertrude looked atover her stood beside her

“──The kingdom is quite cruel”

She spoke those brief words after seeing the other girls

“Is it different at the principality?”

“There’s no way the principality would engage in such crude behavior”

If what Hertrude said is true, then I want to seek asyluht away

Well, I can’t do that though

“The principality was originally territory of the kingdoht? So why is it different?”

The principality originally belonged to the kingdo to the current relationshi+p between the two

“I feel sorry for you guysParticularly you──Viscount BaltfaultYour future spouse will openly surround herself with sub-race loversSuch vulgar worate over to our side, I can assure you that you’ll receive a proper hero’s treataze

Don’t ask──I do kind of want to though

Marie approached as Hertrude was in the midst of her ? Let’s hurry up and go look around”

Hertrude was a Marie and her fixation on treasure

“You’re the saint, right? I’ to wonder if you’re too attached to money”

At those words, Marie──

“What do you know?! Over onand now I have to pay it back! Besides──it’s painful having no money!”

I hate Marie, but I do feel a bit of sy cohtJulian and the others are working, so we’ll get your debt sorted out somehow”

Three of the five idiots aren’t here since they’re bustling about for Marie’s sake

Marie’s lousy household created debt under their her name once she became the saint

Furthermore, they forced their previous debt onto Marie

After hearing her situation──it’s so pitiful that it even made me think it would be okay to help her out a bit

Marie was at her wits’ end as she spoke

“It’s painful having no moneyReally painfulMy socks have holes and I can’t replace them, I can’t even buy necessitiesI don’t what to further cut down on”

Seeing Marie’s glooht

Perhaps this girl was cursed

“That’s enoughEven Hertrude’s not sure how to respond”

Hertrude had said “Sorry, I guess,” to Marie around when she had been talking about holes in her socks

I pondered about so at the boys around ere at work
