"Oh. We talked about that."

"Yes. At the request of Lady Elizabeth, the Thrace family has been entrusted with the responsibility of guarding Master Alphonse's surroundings. We've been doing this for some time now.

"Well, you're welcome to it, though. As expected, you didn't have much information about the assassins in Briaria, did you?　It would be helpful just to get that kind of information via the Vandenburgs."

"Yes, that's right. Now that we have heard your valuable story, I am sure that we will be able to provide even stricter security for you in the future.

　Recently, Elizabeth and Zion were seen talking inside the house, so I asked Zion about it, and it seems that they had reached such a conclusion.

　I'm going to ask you to protect me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elizabeth may see me as quite unprotected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I've been on the lookout for a long time.

　The shadowy men who originally ran this country, the senators of the Orient, have tried to take the lives of many people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think I'm immune from that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I'm always on guard... but it's true that it was a welcome offer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The assassins of Bryria, which is not a small country but a large one, come from all walks of life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that it is not uncommon to find people who have the same amount of magical power as nobles and knights, but are trained only to act as assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A single stab from such a person can be the end of you, so you can't be too careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I still think that the defense is a little more solid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because we can exclude the possibility of being poisoned from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is basically unknown that you can automatically detoxify yourself with your own magical power without casting the spell [Disable Poison].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even those who know that there is a magic called [Poison Disable] by naming it may think that it is ineffective unless they cast the spell, so they may try to poison you in any way they can, but it is significant that you will not die even if it should slip through.

　And, at least in the Orient and its vicinity, the fear of being attacked suddenly is also decreasing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was also because the missionary work of the Church of Barca was progressing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Church of Barca gives bracelets to those who are accepted as believers, which can be traded using En.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This identifies people by subtle differences in their personal magical powers, and even their current location, possessions, and family relationships are registered.

　In other words, what I am trying to say is that the Eye always knows who is walking around the Orient at any given time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is difficult to be an assassin because those who wear the bracelets are performing the rituals in the church of Barca, so they cannot harm people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, anyone who approaches me without a bracelet is a suspicious person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I always have guards around me to watch for such a suspicious person approaching me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is not a human being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a guard in armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have prepared only a few of the small magic-armor weapons that the Sky Kingdom makes, which are made of hardened bricks that become humanoid by passing magic power through a magic circle engraved with a newly acquired spirit stone as its core.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This one does not have a female form like Ai, but it has the same personality as Ai and can act like her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, if we keep these small magic-armed weapons nearby as guards, we can quickly notice the approach of a suspicious person without bracelets and deal with him or her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, this self-supporting guard wears full-body metal armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The metal armor is made of Barca steel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be frank, if the body is made of hardened bricks, there is no point in wearing armor made of bulka steel in terms of defensive capability, but it had a good meaning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is in the misleading part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The armor the guards were to wear was made to automatically change to fit the wearer's body, using the Vandenburgs' auto-adjusting magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the same armor is worn by the human soldiers who guard the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The armor automatically adjusts itself to the best size for any person, and this was meant to make the presence of eye-mounted guards around me less conspicuous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And this armor is also unique in that it is painted bright red.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, this color also has a purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because this red is the same color as that of Norn the Fresh-Blooded Soldier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn the Fresh-Blooded Soldier is created by using my blood on the reddish-black magic stone that I obtained in the magic labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Norns, in the form of bright red armor, move around with free will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since many soldiers have seen them in action on the battlefield in the past, red armor has actually become quite popular in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fresh-blooded Norns are an unusual presence that can be recognized at a glance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They decided to hide it too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By creating many soldiers in red armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, the armor distributed to the guards is the same as that of the fresh-blood soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There will be some differences depending on the body shape of each individual, but it will be hard to tell at a glance which one is Norn and which one is Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, these days I have the tireless Ai and Norn, the red-armored guards, by my side at all times, and there are similar red-armored soldiers policing in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be very difficult to succeed in the assassination under such circumstances.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, we would still be grateful for information on assassins from other countries. .......

"So, Zion dared to accept Elizabeth's request even though he knew he didn't have to worry too much. The reward must have been really good, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. After your marriage to Mr. Alphonse, you have agreed to take me as your wife. I have accepted on that condition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... does that mean I have two people I'm married to?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. In Bryllia, it is quite common for a nobleman to marry more than one wife. But even if they give birth to a boy, he won't be a legitimate son to inherit the Barca family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did Zion want to marry me or something like that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not that I don't know, but it was in my horoscope. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to share your life in this house."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're getting married because it was in your horoscope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Zion's fortune-telling is supposed to be such that she can avoid it if she wants to, so it seems to be her will after all, but I wonder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it's not that they don't want to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know, but it looks like I have more people to marry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You might want to talk to Laura and Kristina a bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought as I looked at Zion's smiling face.
