So, what was the point of the consultation?
Hmm. Well, you know. As for your marriage to Elysia I haven't actually told Regulus about it yet.
What? Why? You had to tell him first, didn't you?

　What is it? You proposed to her yesterday? If you want me to take you to Regulus, I'll take you.

I came to this country to study magic engineering. King Felsen was kind enough to accept me, and while I was consulting with him, I was able to....

　My sister-in-law looks down with a stain on her cheeks. So I don't understand the process. Would you fall in love with such a weapons-crazy old man just because he consulted with you?
　They say that even a smart bug likes to eat knotweed, but my sister-in-law seems to be quite different.
　I've been told that the fact that the princess of a country is studying magical engineering, even in a foreign country, is unusual.
　King Felsen opened his mouth with a mysterious look on his face.

His Majesty Emperor Regulus trusted me and entrusted me with his precious princess in order for her to study magical engineering, and now this is what has happened. I don't regret it, but I am sorry. So I was wondering if you could intercede with my fellow countryman, Prince Brunhild.

　Hmm. "What the hell have you done to my daughter, you son of a b*tc*! If you take my balls, there will be a war! Isn't it funny that you'd say that? .........there's no way. I don't think that that calm and collected Emperor Regulus, His Majesty, would do such a shortcut.
　However, that's as an emperor. What about as a father?
　It was an easy one for me, though. I don't know if I can put that together with this one.

'Either way, you can't just not tell me. I guess we'll just have to be prepared to tell them how it happened. I can drive you to Regulus if you want?
'All of a sudden? Shh, but I'm not ready for it yet!
If we wait for that to happen, we won't advance at all. They say it's a good day to have a good idea.
I've never heard of it but...

　Hmm? Don't we have a saying like that? Oh well. At any rate, I'll send you a letter in the gate mirror and ask for directions.
　While looking at that, the Knight King's brother-in-law asked anxiously.

''What are you going to do? Isn't it a bad idea to take King Felsen to Regulus, as expected?
It's too much trouble if you get in trouble for kidnapping, you know? You want them to come to us?
That would make the safety of His Majesty's security...
I won't let you do anything as long as I'm around.

　Of course, the other side will have to bring their guards with them, too.
　When I asked King Felsen if there was a room suitable for the meeting, he began to have his subjects prepare it, as if in a hurry.
　This means, "Please give me your daughter! That's what it's called. The other guy is not old enough to be me, though.
　King Felsen, dismayed by Zhou Shou dismayed, is rattling the doorknob as he tries to run out of the room to change his clothes.

''And the door! I can't open the door!
Hey, Your Majesty! Don't pull it, push it!
What? Oh, I see!

　At the guard's word, bam! He opened the door briskly and ran out to roll out. That's a bit of a temper tantrum.

'Is it okay, that........'
I think it's cute like that.

　While returning a slightly drawn-out smile to Onii-sama, who was so smoothly in love with her, she still twisted her head. I don't know what the standard of cuteness is.......
　They might be more suited to each other than you might think.




''I see, I get it.''

　King Felsen sits before His Majesty the Emperor with a nervous expression on his face, and the Second Princess Regulus looks down with a red face.

''It would be different if this were a concubine or a side room, but if it's a regular room, then it's a good story that ties us together as Regulus.
Father!
Bye!
We have no reason to refuse you, either. But.........Fuyu-dono.
Excuse me?

　He looks at me, who was watching the Knight King and his progress at another table.

''I'm sorry, but could you make sure the sound in this room doesn't leak out?''
"? Okay?

　I'm going to invoke "Silence" so that no sound escapes to the outside world. They'll have something to talk about that's not good if they know anything about it.

'This will keep the conversation in here from leaking out to the outside world.
Good. So, Lord Winterfellas. What do you tell King Felsen about this?

　Is this about the case? Oh, is this about the frame gear theft?

No. I haven't talked to him yet. I mean, can I talk to you?

　Although I personally think that the possibility of King Felsen being the mastermind is quite low, conversely, there is still a small chance that he is the mastermind. I wasn't sure if I should talk about it or not.

You can't make me get engaged to Elysia if I don't get this matter straightened out anyway. Isn't that right?
Well, yeah, but...
What the hell are you talking about? I can't get them engaged! If there is something wrong with me, I will fix it. Therefore, I beg you to marry the princess.

　I got up and quieted King Felsen, who had begun to panic, and sat him down before telling him what had happened.
　He told me that there were people who stole the frame gear during the battle at Rhodomeer, the concealment technique used at that time, and that Felsen was under suspicion from the steel delivery route.

'My God...! Wait for me! Our country has never done such a firebrand thing. Trust me!
'I know. And we know it's not what you would have wanted. But the chances of bandits being in this country are high. You have no idea what that means?

　Once again, King Felsen was about to stand up, but this time Knight King Restia stopped him. The knight king's brother-in-law has been saying that it's not true from the beginning.
　King Felsen runs a hand over his beard and thinks about it.

''An organization that obtains and uses the technology of an ancient civilization.......hmm? You're not members of the Golden Fleece, are you? No, but.....
What's this Goldian Society?

　I'm going to poke around because I've come across a key phrase that stuck with me. I know what 'Gordian Knot' is.

I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for you. However, there are some magic that can be considered forbidden.
Forbidden magic...?
''Hmm. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's not a good idea to be a good fit.

　Curses and natural disasters... oh?

The government forbids research into forbidden magic, but there are those who are secretly researching and testing it, and trying to revive the technology that uses it. That group is the Goldian Society.
Yeah. So you think they're the ones who stole the frame gear?
"I can only speculate. Their goal is not only to bring back forbidden magic, but also to research and create powerful artifacts. They are said to be wizards, mages, engineers, scholars, merchants, and many others.

　King Felsen and Emperor Regulus are nodding and talking to each other, but I was filled with an awkward feeling on my part.
　 I can use it. I mean, that grimoire is usually in the "library" of Babylon (my home).
　I didn't know it was that bad..... As for the curse, I've already used it........ Well, let's keep quiet. It's also a good thing that we're being cautious. It's a bit late for that.
　However, there's no need for sacrifices for the cataclysmic event, that's for sure. The magic power is incredibly necessary, so they have to chant by the thousands, and of course some of them will fall down. That might be the reason why it was conveyed in a strange tailspin. It's a good idea to be able to sink at least a small island in terms of power.

I'm sure you'll be able to find this golden union with Fuyu-dono's search magic?
If you know what they look like. Or, if you can identify them with a quick glance, I can handle it.

　That's what he replied to the emperor's question, but more importantly, there are too many warding points in this country. It's easy to put them on ordinary houses, too. We can't check each one of them, and the other party may not even be in the royal capital.

It's not always in the capital. ''It will be difficult,'' he said, ''but they are not going to make any moves, because even the state is watching them. I'm sure the Golden Society Gordian was once destroyed.
What do you mean?
Twenty years ago, the Goldian Society was attempting to revive a forbidden magic. But it was my brother, the previous king, Leold Frost Felsen, who saw this coming and prevented it from happening. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
Did the First King himself go to the scene?

　I can understand King Restia's question. Would the king ride in with those who are trying to revive some kind of forbidden magic? Normally, wouldn't he leave such things to his subjects?

In fact, the leader of the Goldian Society at that time was my brother's best friend. My brother never dreamed that his right hand man would be involved in such underground activities. He probably thought that he had to be the one to correct his friend's mistakes. He was a man with a strong sense of justice....

　King Felsen speaks softly. When I look at Princess Elysia, who is looking worried beside her, I feel that she really likes him. ........they look like a father and son after all.

''Assuming that this Golden Society [Gordian] or something like that is revived, do you have any idea who is leading it?
That being said......... No ... there's one person I can think of. I have no idea where he is now or what he's doing.
Who is this?
"Garzeld Goldie. The son of Garland Goldie, the former head of the Golden Fleece,
