"You...you keep an eye on them! Don't let them get away!"
"Then I'll switch shifts with you! You still owe me ten gold coins!"
"Stop it! 10 gold coins isn't enough for one life, ah mister, I definitely don't mean to speak ill of you guys, I know you're all good people who saved the city, but... this is from above, don't take it out on me ah."
"Yeah, we're just trying to make a living."
I couldn't stand it any longer if I didn't speak until I reached the prison.
"I say you guys are enough."
"Sorry mister! I'll shut up now!"
"Grace!"
I just turned around to see a group of guards behind me covering their mouths themselves.
"Hey, don't make it seem like we're monsters, and don't think we're not. All in all you guys just do what you have to do."
I said as I entered the cell and then sat my ass down on the couch.
Why is there a couch? Since this is a place where nobles are entitled to come in after committing a crime, we weren't originally supposed to be locked up here, but we were placed here at the suggestion of the previous captain of the castle and with the consent of the many guards.
Naturally, there were no handcuffs or anything like that, and even if he had let us put them on, we might have broken free because we weren't used to it when we were serving a cup, so we left it at that.
"By the way, it's about time for dinner at this hour, isn't it?"
"Yes yes yes! We're on our way to get ready!"
One of the soldiers immediately replied.
"Well, by the way, you don't have to be nervous, we're not going to bother running around, you guys can stay out of the area if you don't want to watch us you know."
"Of course! Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding...so we'll excuse you."
"Oh..."
I always felt that we were not in prison but some international five-star hotel.
The decoration of the whole cell is even more advanced than the hotel I saw before, with high-grade and rough animal skin carpets, comfortable and soft leather sofas, valuable crystal wood carved tables and chairs and lamps made of night pearls.
I can only silently sigh at this, the noble class is indeed a very egg painful class.
The guards' respectful appearance also made me feel uncomfortable, as if the lack of a dignified and effective leader made the guards very timid, always feel that once something happens, the chances of mutiny are very high.
I don't know if I have a thought in my head, are those guys from [Snake Eyes] planning to massacre all of these comedians? Or are you as often as I am ashamed of being treated wordlessly by these nobles and so plan to exterminate them all?
Why else would you bomb our school?
The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.
As I watched the guards leave the room, I looked like Maristo.
"I say, Miss Chairman, why did you get locked in here with us? Based on your strength and the stakes you were in, it's okay for you to just put the blame on us and leave..."
"What are you talking about! I watched you stop that beast from blowing up the city. If the bridge hadn't been destroyed, countless citizens would have died! This is not a situation I'm going to pretend I didn't see anything!"
........
I feel like there's a holy light shining on the chairman, I feel so piercing that I feel guilty....
Should this president be described as natural, or overflowing with love? This rare creature has actually risen to level 48 yet it's still so natural, it's definitely ultra-rare ah.
"Well, Chairman-san, I'm very grateful to you for not abandoning us here."
"Where! Please don't say that! It's the right thing to do!"
She ended up looking very embarrassed instead, her guilty conscience getting worse.
"Well, that's it for now then. Ojado, Pure White, it looks like we're going to be here for a while, okay?"
"Of course it's okay~ My brother's decision must be the right one anyway."
Oyado had already used the artwork over there as a target and started playing with throwing knives....
"Well, as long as the master is happy~"
Pure White stood by throughout, not knowing what to think....
"But that duke doesn't look like he's going to let us off easy, what do we have to do to car to please the charges, or else we might just be taken by that wretched duke to pay for the crime ah."
"Well... they won't be able to kill us in the end anyway, at worst we'll just run away afterwards and they won't be able to catch us."
"But..."
"Well, since Lord President has come in with us, we'll naturally solve the problem in a better way, after all, the President will continue to be the president of the Blue Lake City Mercenary Guild in the future ah."
"Then you guys are going to..."
"By the way, just in case you have time can you explain to me...what the political situation is in Blue Lake City right now?"
"Political situation?"
Looking at the chairman's puzzled expression, I said in a different way.
"In other words, is it possible that the lord of Blue Lake City or the Smulandor family has recently changed masters?"
"Oh, that's what you're asking, it's true, the Duke of the old Smulandor family just died last month, and the one who inherited the position of Duke is the Duke's eldest son, Faust C. Smulandor, well... everyone just doesn't have a good opinion of him. But they also have two sons, Jens V. Smurandol. Although there were three more sons in their family, but the one who died on the battlefield was his 18-year-old son. According to the old Duke Smurandol, he didn't give any instructions, but left his offspring to fight for themselves, so the eldest son inherited according to the order of precedence."
"So that's what happened, as expected. If that's the case then the stakes of the Duke's family are still... rather uncomplicated I guess, although I don't know if that 18 year old is planning anything, but I think Jens-san will be visiting us soon."
"Eh? Why?"
"Although I don't know how strong Mr. Jens is, but based on my observation of Mr. Faust this morning, that guy is not the material to be a duke at all. If Mr. Jens isn't going to take the Duke's position away from him, then he's planning to find a way to threaten Mr. Faust and then make him a shield that can ward off one disaster."
I stopped to think.
"But that Faust-san's intellect is more likely to get himself into trouble ah, it's basically a waste. It's better to take care of the aftermath with a bang than to let him cause the Duke's family a bad influence."
"I have absolutely no idea what Fili-san is talking about..."
"Don't worry about it, Chairman, if that Jens-san wants to perfectly become a Duke, this event is definitely a good opportunity. So..."
"So, you already expected me to come visit, right?"
The door to the cell suddenly opened and a man in a purple robe walked in, followed by 3 men in black.
But their names were repeated together and yellow, too flashing for my eyes so I didn't bother looking.
But the names of the people in front of me were obvious instead.
