240 . Bond 2



 It's been a week since I hid myself in a mansion on the outskirts of the hot spring settlement.
 Foldente showed up at the mansion.

 According to Foldente, who had returned after exploring the state of the royal capital....

 We were told that Gelter was loudly proclaiming that we, the lords and ladies of the frontier city of Liberty Combe, were under house arrest, and that he was openly asking for a meeting with the leaders of the Senate and the House of Lords every day.
 In response, the Senate and the House of Lords, other than the ringleaders of this incident, have begun to act, and during the past week, the ringleaders have been completely isolated in the Senate and have been forced on all sides.
 Moreover, the fact that the magician ships were not allowed to enter the capital was also said to have dealt a serious blow to the people of King's Landing, especially the members of the Chamber of Commerce.
 The magician's ships are able to transport goods to remote areas on the same day, and there are many merchant associations that are profiting from being able to quickly obtain rare items from the remote areas.
 When that operation was stopped without warning, the Royal City Merchants Association first asked the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, the agent of the regular magic ship in the city, to explain the situation.
 In response, Quinn
'All of this should be considered an emergency measure because the Senate has placed the lord and lady of Liberty Combe, a frontier city, under house arrest.
 They kept repeating that.
 Therefore, the brunt of the shopkeepers' union soon turned to the Senate.

 In addition, the orders from the Bobblebum cult kept arriving at the Senate.
 A bombing in the headquarters of the Bobblebum cult.
 Some people in the Bobblebum cult's headquarters had discovered that the noble guards had been moved by the Senate's leaders on their own orders.

 The ringleaders of the Senate, who have been forced to deal with the situation from all three sides at the same time, are said to be completely stuck in the middle of the situation.

 With this move, the King's Metropolitan Council has finally lifted its weight.
 Until now, the King's Metropolitan Council, which had continued to respond to the incident with no regard for what happened because many of its members had accepted large bribes from the mainstream of the former nobles in the Senate, the masterminds behind the incident.
 However, as a result of the Senate's purists in the House of Lords colluding with the Senate's purists and continuing to petition the assembly, the assembly could not continue to ignore them, and the assembly voted in favor of summoning the Senate to testify.
 Many had argued that the witnesses should be called as witnesses, which is not legally enforceable and not a crime to commit perjury, but in the end the motion was overruled by a majority vote.
 This move was not only due to the actions of the Qing Dynasty senators, but also to the fact that the senators, who had always been frustrated with the Senate leadership group that had been imposing unreasonable demands on them, were happy to see the senators revolt.

The testimony is open to the people of the city. This is getting interesting.
 Foldente was chuckling when he finished his report so far.
 In front of such a Foldente, I nodded once.
More importantly, what's going on with everyone else in King's Landing who came to our aid?
 That's what I went to visit.
 
 It's true that I'm concerned about the subsequent actions of the former nobles of the royal capital.......the senate, but I'm more concerned about the people who came to our rescue.

 To me, Foldente...
Don't worry about it. I'll be fine.
 He said, and continued his story.

 The ringleaders of the Senate, who were dressed in a completely blocked position.
 In the meantime, the guards who were guarding the Senate gradually disappeared as well.
 It is said that the guards, sensing that they were being used by the Senate, were somewhat unable to devote themselves to their duties.
 Thus, the guards of the frontier city of Liberty Combe are retreating with ease while the security of the entire royal capital is somewhat lax.
 The removal of the troops other than Lil Pop, who were guarding Geltor and Quinn Trading Company, was already almost complete and they were moving along the overland road.

They're on the move along the road," he said. It looks like Guelter is going to be out of here now that the council has acted.
So how about Quinn and Lil Pop?
'Well that's the only thing that bothers me...'
''Well the ringleaders in the Senate will already know that Quinn and the others have helped us and if we leave it at that, they might try to get to Quinn and the others one day...''
Well, that's why Lil Pop is packing it in right now.
"...I don't know. As long as it's okay with Quinn, but what about having him come to this Liberty Combe?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
 Foldente nodded widely in my opinion.

 I asked Foldente to consolation everyone on the move and ask him to tell Quinn what he had just said.
 Upon receiving that, Foldente moved from the spot with transition magic.

 In the room where Foldente was gone, I once again went to my desk.
 This room was a room in the mansion, maintained in such a way that Erdena and I could do our work.

 The ostensible work is being done by the deputy lord, Vibrina, as the acting lord.
 My main job right now is to look over the documents from the town hall that are passed around in secret from such Vibrina, and confirm the contents.
 Our personal care was done by Unya and Aura when we were in the usual mansion, but now that the workload has been reduced, Erdena is proactively taking care of it for us.
 She can do the cleaning and laundry without a hitch, but she's not very good at cooking, or at having a very small repertoire of dishes, so she's been practicing with Ursula, learning from her.

 I had a private conversation with Unna yesterday.

"I didn't mean to hide it," she said.
 According to what she told me, her father was an elemental cat people.
 Her mother was a normal cat person (Cat People), which means that Unya is a mixture of the two.
 Unja's father was secretly hired by the House of Lords to do assassinations and other dangerous work, just like the other elemental cat people.
 Because of this, Unja's father, whose life was being threatened, had her infiltrated as a slave of the Greed family, and they disappeared while he tried to keep her safe.
'So Unya's parents might still be alive today?
Well, that's good.
 My words brought a smile to Unja's face.
 But that smile seemed somewhat sad.
 ........as if she had already given up.......

 Anya said she was done talking about everything.

 She said that and came to stare at me.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
I want her to stay here forever. Of course, I don't want her to be an elemental cat person, but a cat person's cat person.
 The words included the fact that I was not going to use Unya as an assassin.
 Unya is Unya, and there and no one else.
 She's like a slightly older sister who's been by my side since I was a child.
 When she heard those words, she smiled happily and went to hug me.
 I waited for her with my right hand.
I've been telling you for a while now that I will never have a side room. I love Una Una, but that's only as an older sister, and I have no intention of making it any more than that...
Well, then, it's just my sister!
 As she said this, she brushed my hand away and hugged me.
I'm so happy to have you by my side.....
 As she said this, Unya was bursting into tears.
