--At midnight, as the ball is winding down, the sound of thumping footsteps in the church headquarters.

　At the church headquarters, the sound of footsteps running wildly and the scrape of armor.

　Those advancing in a mass - at the head of the holy knights is Carotta DeMeyer, the leader of the female knights.

　The church's headquarters, where no noise is heard except from the knights, is nowhere to be heard except for them, as she gallops forward with her subordinate knights behind her, and when she reaches a room, she kicks open the door without hesitation.

''What the hell is going on?

　Inside was a hungry man in a vestments.
　He had just fallen asleep, and was frozen, having gotten out of bed.

"You, Carrotta!　Who asked for permission to come to my room--

"Excuse me for the evening, Cardinal Abdul-Dormeur-Rein. You are arrested (・・・・・・) for treason (・・・・).

"Huh, treason?

　It seems that you don't understand the situation, and the two holy knights are stunned by Cardinal Abdul, who is bound tightly on both shoulders.

"Wait, wait, there's been a mistake!　Hey, stop it, don't wreck the room!

　After shouting at the holy knights who began to storm the room to get proof, Abdul glared at the one who leads this unit, Carlotta, frothing at the corners of his mouth and screaming.

'You think you can get away with this for free?　The others won't shut up!

"Humph, you old fart, you can't read the situation. Do you think I'm doing this on my own initiative?

What ......!"?

　Carotta, fishing up one cheek in mockery, took out a piece of parchment and unfolded it to show it to Abdul.

"Look closely. That's what this is, huh?

"--Huh!　A letter of excommunication in the joint name of ......!

　A stunned look appears on Abdul's face.

　The parchment, signed by the other cardinals, was a letter excommunicating Ahdul.

That's right. You are no longer a priest. Therefore, the Church will no longer protect you.

"Bah, stupid ......!

It's over, Mr. Cardinal. --Get him out of here.

"Ha!

　And as she watches her men take a pale Afdul away, the man under her charge appears from outside the room and salutes Carlotta.

'Commander Carlotta, I have just received word that Cardinal Elgar is in custody as well.

Good. Any movement in the holy knights under your command?

"No, no. We are obeying you quietly, sir.

"Hmmm ...... I thought there would be a little resistance.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm sure you've considered that possibility, but ...... one thing I would say is that subordinates don't get to choose their bosses.

　Carotta chuckles at his words.

I see. I'm going to have to try to be an effective boss to make sure you guys don't get disgusted with me.

"If Commander Carlotta does everything in his power, the noblemen of King's Landing will never be able to sleep well again.

The military guys too.

"Don't the demons in the area run off with their tails between their legs?

"The backstreets are sure to be pale in the face.

　The other holy knights who were listening to their conversation laugh and say this with a smile.

If you need so much work, why don't you just say so from the start. Feel free to abuse them.

　With a scowling expression on their faces, the holy knights scurry away like spider spiders and begin to do their jobs curiously.

　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Well, there's still a lot of work to do. We've got to get back to work. Otherwise, we can't face that man who set us up this far.

"That man," said ......, "is the guy in the mask. I don't know who he is. All of a sudden I heard his name: ......

"Come on. ....... But, well, he's our ally, he's a great guy, and he's a lover that Nell seems to trust wholeheartedly. Especially that last one. That's all you need to know.

"...... Totally, as usual, the Commander has a soft spot for Nell. Well, I understand how you feel.

That's because she's my only sister, unlike all of you pussies. I'm going to spoil it.

Oh, you're a horrible person to talk to.

　Carotta cowered her shoulders, while the deputy commander looked deliberately shocked.

　You will be able to find a lot more information about the company and its products on the web.


　　　* * * *


　A few days after the ball is over. 　

　The shitty aristocrat Argos has been thrown in jail and the Minister of War, Jayma has been suspended and detained in the mansion to prevent him from moving around.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, because it's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. There wasn't.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make a move even if you know it's a trap.



　The only way to find out what he's up to is to ask him directly.

　--So, I've come to the mansion where Minister of War Jayma is currently being held.

　The perimeter of the mansion is surrounded by soldiers under the king's command, who do not try to hide themselves, turning away curious onlookers who are watching them.

　The reason why the soldiers are only around the perimeter and not inside the compound is because the investigation has already been done, but also because the Minister of War, Jayma, is still a powerful person.

　He is certain to be stripped of his post ...... but not yet.
　I'm sure that this old man has a lot of sympathies, and if we punish him poorly, there is a possibility of another coup d'état.
　In order to resolve the situation as soon as possible, we are not going to enter the premises, but only to fortify the surrounding area.

　Well, I don't know what's going on around there, though, so I'll just go in as usual!

　So you don't want to get caught, right?
　You've been warned not to overdo it, but the king has given me permission to do so, so there's no problem in that area. I know.

　With that, I invoked my covert skills to break into the mansion, passed through the maids and butlers who were working with anxious expressions and headed for Jayma's office.
　The structure of the mansion has been surveyed beforehand using the Evil Eye, so there's no need to get lost.

　By the way, the mask is already on.
　It doesn't seem to make much sense now that your face is already exposed, but I like this mask so much that I'll wear it whenever I get a chance.

　You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you with your work. 　　

I knew you'd be coming, masked sir. Wait a moment. It won't take long.

　In the office is an old man sitting at the office desk, alone, and he was reading some documents.
　He didn't look up, didn't show any surprise, just said quietly, "I'm sorry.

...... Hi. You're in my way.

　As I sat down without permission on the sofa in the office, the old nobleman seemed to have finished checking his documents a little while later and looked up at you.

　The expression on his face is calm and serene, with no hint of impatience about his faction's current state of disintegration or caution about my sudden appearance.

　In fact, the heartbeat that can be heard through the demon king's super hearing is also calm.

"Here you go. So, let me just ask you. What can I do for you today?

　The old aristocrat speaks in a good-natured manner and I intentionally open my mouth in a high-handed manner.

...... well, your guys are getting fewer and fewer each day, and you seem to be taking your time with them. I just wanted to see if you were okay.

"Oh, I see. Well, I suppose I should be grateful for your consideration.

　I'm sure you're cunning and cunning.

　...... Cunning is a cunning word that comes easily to describe him.

Let's get straight to the point. You have cunning in mind.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good look at the old man's eyes and ask him a question to find out his true intentions.

You'll be able to find out what he or she is thinking about by looking into the eyes of the old man and asking him or her, "Hmm ....... All right, I'll tell you why I'm taking so much time now. I'm not doing anything because I don't have to (・・・・) anymore (・・・・・・・・) to move (・・・・・・・・).

"What ......?

　I frowned dubiously, and Jayma said to me, "I've decided to leave the rest to you, Your Majesty, and you.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. --You're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　--It was said in a casual tone.
