  Chapter 303: Strategy Meeting {TL: By Creed} “First of all, I would like to express my gratitude.” The next day. We were summoned by Albert and gathered in a large reception room. “Lady Sofia Ascart. Sir Fate Stuart. Lady Licorice. Lady Aisha. Lady Snow. I sincerely thank you for responding to my unreasonable request. Thank you very much.” Albert looked each of us in the eyes in turn, then finally bowed his head. A noble is someone who stands above the people. They should not bow so easily… Many of them are too proud to do so. But Albert was different. He was facing us sincerely. …Somehow, the jealousy I’d felt toward him started to make me feel painfully small. “At present, this city is crying out under my father’s… no, Guld Hildis’s tyranny. The people suffer, wealth is drained away, and citizens are fleeing to other cities. If we allow this situation to continue, how many tears will be shed… To stop that, I have decided to commit a sin—deliberately.” Instead of us...

  Chapter 302 Jealousy {TL: By Creed} When I told him that we would cooperate, Albert was overjoyed. The details of the plan would be discussed another day, so he asked us to rest for now and had us shown to another room with beds. Taking him up on his kindness, we decided to give our bodies a break. We ate lots of delicious food, relaxed in the bath at our leisure…… And then we got into bed. “……” I got into bed, but for some reason I couldn’t get sleepy, so I stepped out onto the terrace attached to the room. When I looked up at the night sky, a crescent moon was shining. “What are you doing?” When I turned around, Licorice was floating gently in the air. She wasn’t wearing her usual clothes, but pajamas instead. On top of that, she had a nightcap on. Naturally, it was a minimum size tailored for Licorice—but where did she even get it? “I just can’t seem to fall asleep.” “Hm.” “What about you, Licorice? Did I wake you up, maybe?” “It’s fine, don’t worry about ...

  Chapter 301 Growing Dissatisfaction {TL: By Creed} “So that’s what happened!” After a while, Licorice came back… And we were told something outrageous. “People who are dissatisfied with the lord have gathered and are plotting an armed uprising…?” “I really hope that’s just a joke… but surely no adult would make such a tasteless joke.” Honestly, I don’t think a coup will happen today or tomorrow. If it’s still only at the planning stage, it should require careful preparation. Even if a decision were made today, I think there’d be at least a month of leeway. But… The problem is that the situation is already critical. Planning a coup requires tremendous resolve. And if circumstances severe enough to harden people’s resolve like that have formed… Then what Albert is saying might actually be true. “What do you think, Sofia?” “Well… it could be an elaborate trap, but if we keep thinking like that, there’ll be no end to it.” “Yeah. And besides, I think it was pure c...

  Chapter 300: Licorice's Great Adventure {TL: By Creed} Licorice left the lord’s mansion and floated lightly through the air above the town. Fairies were a rare species. If she showed herself in public without Fate and Sofia around, she might get captured. At least, Licorice did have the sense to consider that level of danger. “Now then, I wonder if there’s any information about the lord lying around somewhere?” She didn’t have time to go around questioning people one by one. Even if she did, who knew how long it would take to finally reach someone who actually had the right information? It would be much faster to eavesdrop on people’s conversations instead. She could gather rumors about the lord… and not just that—there might even be someone quietly speaking the truth. Because that sometimes happened, it was a fairly effective method. “Hehe, Licorice-chan Ears can pick up any conversation there is!” Even though she was alone, Licorice struck a smug pose. Maybe s...

  Chapter 299: Sometimes extreme methods {TL: By Creed} That day, we ended up staying the night at the mansion as-is. As Albert’s guests, we were officially granted permission to stay. We were given a single guest room. However, it was very spacious, and there were four beds. “Ahhh, a fluffy bed—this is wonderful~” Licorice immediately dove onto one of the beds, but the rest of us didn’t follow suit. We walked around the room, checking the layout… And also searching for something specific. “Fate, how was it?” “I think it’s fine.” “On my end as well, there were no issues.” “Daddy, Mommy—what are you doing?” Aisha tilted her head in curiosity. “Well… we were checking to see if there were any bad people eavesdropping on us.” “Oooh.” “You wouldn’t like it if someone were watching you either, right, Aisha-chan? That’s why we were carefully checking everything.” To be honest, we don’t fully trust Albert. There were no contradictions in his story, but… That alone isn’t e...

  Chapter 298: Usurpation {TL: By Creed} "Drive him out…?" An unbelievable statement came flying at me. At first I thought I misheard, but— "I want to kick my father down from his position, and take the seat of lord myself." He said it again, plainly. He looked like a reasonable person, and yet behind that exterior he was thinking of usurpation… What kind of person does that? I should report this immediately— …Wait. I almost jumped to a conclusion out of shock, but thinking more carefully, something felt off. There’s no way he would tell something like that to people he just met. A normal person would take time to judge whether someone will help with wrongdoing. And Albert doesn’t seem shortsighted enough to seek cooperation from us just because we’re strong. "...Is there some reason behind this?" For now, I decided to listen. Sofia seemed to agree, keeping quiet. "Thank you. I’m glad you’re willing to hear me out properly." ...

  Chapter 297: A request from Albert {TL: By Creed} “ First, allow me to express my gratitude. Thank you for agreeing to be our escorts. ” Albert lowered his head slightly. Even though he’s the son of the lord, he bowed to an ordinary adventurer… That’s not something just anyone can do. And on top of that, he has a handsome face. He’s tall, too. “……” If I competed with him… could I win? Not in ability, but in terms of being attractive as a man? Before I knew it, I started thinking about things like that. Whether he noticed or not, Albert continued speaking. “ Please, feel free to call me Albert. ” “ Then please call us by our names as well. ” “ Understood—Sofia, Fate. Aisha, and Snow. ” He’s an easygoing person. And he has a good personality. If this person became a rival… No no, that’s not good. He seems to have something serious to talk about, so I need to focus on that! “ Sofia, the Sword Saint, your skill was truly remarkable. Not only that—Fate, you als...
