I’m Troubled by the Prince’s Love ~Reincarnated Heroine, The Otome Game Struggle~ - chapter 142 Two.

◇ ◇ ◇

“Your Highness, please be careful”

“I know.”

Arthur, who left Silvi’s room, got ready to go out and went outside the castle with Diedrich. Ride a horse prepared in advance and aim for a destination. Entering the back streets of the town, Gallari and the type of people changed. A tough man wearing a weapon walks wide with a difficult face and a woman dressed naked offers a discount. In a dark alley, men with gloomy expressions had some sort of interaction with Boso.

The house you are building is also completely different from the front street. Overall thin dirt, like ruins. Among other things, stores such as liquor stores and weapons stores are well open.

There are regular lodges, but the whorehouses are lined up, and as Arthurs passes in front of them, the women fly through the autumn waves.

“Beautiful brother, why don’t you stop by? I’ll serve you.”

“Your brother will put you away. You can hold it until you’re satisfied.”

After spending so much time pretending not to hear such an overtly inviting complaint, the Arthurs finally reached the mansion of purpose. It’s a mansion that clearly draws a line with its surroundings. It’s only beautiful around here, and it also looks like a noble mansion.

But at the entrance, there are several inflexible men deployed who clearly know they are the people behind them, and, in fact, a defensive junction is laid quite magically on the bees. If anyone tries to enter from outside the entrance, the junction attacks rather than play the person. Such a noisy mansion, I wouldn’t have wanted to come near it if I had, but I couldn’t have come. Because I am obliged to report regularly.

“I want to see the Lord. I have made a promise.”

When Arthur stepped off the horse, speaking to one of the gatekeepers, all the gatekeepers had looked at Arthur and Diedrich with a worthy gaze. The voiced gatekeeper opens his mouth looking troublesome.

“Master Ease has spoken to me. You know where it is? Don’t do anything extra.”

“Oh. Above my knowledge.”

As Arthur glanced at Diedrich, he nodded and followed behind Arthur in silence.

In this mansion, Diedrich has no say. Arthur is the only one who can talk. It is so decided.

I have been to the Mansion several times, so I know it’s on my own. Every time the blind men stared at me differently, Arthur didn’t go through with it. I can’t help but care, and if I’m surprised by this, I won’t even be able to talk to the person I want.

“Yes. Nice to meet you.”

When I always went to the room where the meeting was held, the person I had promised was relaxed on a couch like that used by the royal family and drank white wine.

Her hair is bright red to the waist. He was in a white bathrobe. There is a large scar peeking diagonally on the chest that looked chilly.

A man in a feminine tone, but definitely older than Arthur. He was the chief behind the Stride Kingdom, Ease Lacanier, who brings together Uroboros.

When Ease drank the wine he had, he put the glass on a table made of glass. Stand up and come before Arthur. I looked flimsily to lick its entire body.

“You’re still a good man. But I heard. You said you got engaged?

“… oh”

Arthur answered without hesitation as he felt like a bug crawling all over his body. Ease always talks like a woman. But the outfit is for men. Horribly, both sexually active men and women. In a man, he seems to particularly prefer the look of Arthur, who is often half serious and inviting.

“Zahn. Will Arthur finally belong to one woman? Hey, Atashi, you don’t mind a mistress, do you? What do you say?”

“Say no.”

“May I say that if you make me your mistress, you can set Uroboros free?

“Say no.”

I see Arthur, who soon showed a willingness to reject the troubled, with some kind of horrible look at Diedrich. “Nah,” Ease glanced at his shoulder.

“You won’t nod if you fish in Uroboros. But that’s Arthur. I refuse to let a man snort from the beginning.”

Light tone, but my eyes aren’t laughing. It was obvious that I was serious.

“So? What’s your request for Atashi? You must have done a good job of looking into it.”

“… with regard to Gemini, the investigation is ongoing. But I don’t even know where he’s lurking. And then I ran into him myself.”

“To Gemini? Oh, my God, you’re all right.”

“The target wasn’t me”

“Yes. Then I’m convinced”

Nodding gracefully, Ease sat on a chair that was nearby. Look at Arthur and Diedrich so they can sit down too.

Arthur sits on a solo couch. Diedrich did not sit down and stood diagonally behind him.

“The escort is a good escort. I hope you like it because there’s no way you can get out of here.”

Diedrich makes a seeping face of disgust at Ease who laughs in a way that reminds him of a snake. Arthur continued his conversation, thinking he knew how it felt.

“This is the one I want to hear. Gemini, who met him, said he was’ not officially asked ‘about his work at that time. I guess I took it that way in a pretty unusual way. Is there a verse that comes to mind for my client?”

“There’s no way there is. If it’s us, if it’s like using Gemini, I’ll kill you. He doesn’t follow the kill rules. My enemies.”

“Right…”

I wished I could get some information, but Ease didn’t seem to know. Maybe they’re plotting the Arthurs, but it’s true they Uroboros don’t like Gemini. There was also certainty that he would not vomit lies on this matter.

“Okay. Let me know if you need anything. And I want this, too.”

“What?”

To Ease, who looks suspicious, Arthur told the truth about this one.

Give him the letter you brought. “This…” said Ease, who saw the letter, raising a single eyebrow.

“That’s the second letter I brought to our house before…. Is the handwriting the same as before?

“That’s right. I don’t even know who it is, but the result is that it’s the same person. Apparently he’s deliberately changing his handwriting.”

“That’s right. – Uh, Gemini shows up, huh? Yeah, so, Arthur believed this, so he went?

“Oh.”

Nodding, Ease said in a whispering tone.

“The Marquis Leavert family is one of Arthur’s fiancées. Then I’ll go, won’t I? If you think your beloved girlfriend is being targeted, Arthur will have to move too.”

“… yes”

“Oh, you don’t deny it?

“It’s true.”

“What. It’s not funny. It would have been fun if you’d changed one of your complexions.”

Ease pointing his lips, but knowing his nature, Arthur had worn his spirit considerably just to exchange a word.

This man, speaking in a mild tone, is like condensing the harms of society. Perform any gloomy imitation without moving one eyebrow. Poor quality in a way than Gemini. I’m pissed at myself for not being able to catch the man, but I know the discipline behind society is preserved because of him. He is also sensitive to betrayal within himself. Sanctions shall be imposed on those who break the rules established by themselves. The ferocity is famous.

In fact, if we run out of uroboros, crime will probably increase. It may decrease at first, but it’s temporary. The power of disorientation produces more heinous crimes. Even Arthur knew that.

Sometimes, instead of hating all of Uroboros, who sometimes cooperate with the royal family, they use where they should be, and truncate where they trump. Getting along well with this kind of organization is also the qualities required of those who stand on top. It is only when swallowed in a cloudy combination. Cleanliness alone cannot protect the country.

“… even if you don’t know anything about one, the two of them will also know different facts. Ease, I want you to find out about that letter.”

“Good, though. Don’t expect it, right? I didn’t know anything about it last time.”

“I couldn’t narrow it down, is that a mistake?

To Arthur’s words, Ease laughed less. That’s the snake-like look I found my prey on.

“Huh. That’s why I like Arthur. Yeah, I didn’t know that. Too much information to squeeze. So… good. Even this letter, if you’ve narrowed it down, I’ll tell you what I know.”

“… please”

There’s no point in pressing me to tell you right now. Arthur, who knew it, nodded and told Ease.

“Gemini’s target these days is a lot of people in the castle. I got an informant about it and him. I can’t tell you more about that person, but of course it’s a different person from the letter. I promise to let you know anything about Gemini.”

Ease reacted sensitively to the words.

“Informant about Gemini? Oh, my God, that! Atashi, I don’t know!

“… Not now, but he didn’t know Gemini was Gemini and had a friendship. Looks like we’ve been seeing each other for quite a while, even when we were bloody looking for him.”

What Arthur is saying was, of course, about Silvi.

If it’s true, I don’t want to tell you about Sylvie or anything. But Uroboros tells me to tell you any trivial information about Gemini, whereas the royal family has agreed quite some time ago.

If you want information from the other side, you have to give this one too.

It’s a contract made on equal terms. I’m not allowed to make a plot.

Though Arthur was not willing to engage Ease and Silvi.

The information should be communicated by Arthur. I don’t want her to know about this world.

And I don’t even want you to be in danger.

(I want Silvi to just look at the beautiful part)

For that matter, if you mean to get dirty, you get dirty as much as you want.

I stared at Arthur as if he was impressed.

“Yeah, Arthur’s starting to do it, too. I had no idea you had human flexibilities close to Gemini. I knew it had to be a reciprocal relationship. Hehe, let me know about Gemini, new information you don’t know about Atashi, and when you get it. I’m sorry I had to kill you with my own hands.”

“Okay.”

Originally, if we capture Gemini, it’s a contract to hand him over to Uroboros. And I’m not going to complain about it now.

Checking the watch at hand, Arthur stood up.

“Time. Well, thank you for the letter.”

“Yeah, I’m in charge. I’ll call you if I know anything.”

In a good mood, Ease also rises.

Arthur had a good time and went outside the Uroboros’ nest.

◇ ◇ ◇

……

They didn’t speak a word until they left Uroboros’ mansion and went out on the street.

Arthur had a hard face, and Diedrich didn’t break his depressing look.

That changed only after I went out on a bright boulevard.

“… ha”

Diedrich vomited on his horse sighing as if to exhale accumulated tension.

Arthur realizes it, laughs niggly.

“What. Are you tired?”

“Then I’m tired. Because it’s like being in a killing mood all the time. How many times do you think you put up with him being hit by a killer from outside the room and about to pull out your sword?”

“It’s the Uroboros’ nest.”

“You don’t move.”

“If we move, we won’t be able to go home from there. That’s where that place is.”

“… Yep”

Diedrich nods smudgingly.

“It’s a place you never want to step in again.”

“Unfortunately, I guess I’ll be going through it again and again in the future”

I’ll be honest. “I guess,” Diedrich said distantly.

“I just don’t want to be involved with each other, can’t you say that too”

“If you don’t like it, I’ll go alone next time”

“Just kidding.”

To be clear, Diedrich saw Arthur.

“Whatever the place is, I’ll be with you. – I’m a knight, near you.”

“Oh, yeah”

Nodding, Arthur looked up into the sky. The sun has already fallen, and it’s time to say it’s dinner time.

“I’m sorry I’m late. We’re leaving.”

Silvi is waiting for Arthur to return. Even paperwork is still there. I just want to get rid of the rest and spend the night with her.

I guess you figured out what Arthur was thinking. Diedrich said as if he was stunned.

“Your Highness has been completely boneheaded by Sylvia lately.”

As for Diedrich, I guess I meant to dislike it. But Arthur didn’t move. On the contrary, I said it back with the face of what was normal.

“What, from the beginning. Never mind.”

……

To Arthur’s unexpected return, Diedrich blinked and said, “I feel like Your Highness has grown stronger since we got engaged,” in a true face.
