I asked about the other two who had been knocked out
“W-we didn’t know… Forgive us…”
The n bowed their heads in fear.
“Well, in any case…where are the other two?”
“Tho-those two…have been acting strange ever since then… But I did tell them that the princess has visited the slums…”
“Acting strange…?”
“Ye-yes… Um… Up until then, the four of us would talk together often. But now, they seem to be avoiding us. Ah, they still call the princess by her proper title. And they are not plotting anything!”
“Hmm…”
“If you wish, I will call them right now! Just wait one mont!!”
“Ah, wait! …They’re gone… So people are so quick to act. Just like Nick…”
So, they used to be rather close, but after the incident with Tilura, they are avoiding each other.
Regardless, they then declared that they would call the other two, and ran off.
And while I called after them, they quickly disappeared around the corner.
“Sorry, Claire and Tilura. Now this will take more ti…”
“It cannot be helped. I am also curious about the other two… Besides, I think that Tilura should apologize to them.”
“Yes…”
It seed off for the daughter of a duke to have to apologize…but it seed like it was important for Claire that Tilura do it to people who she had caused trouble for.
“Huh, so this is the place where Liza lived.”
“Yes, papa. This is where we usually slept.”
After so ti, the two returned with the others. And then we made our way to the place where Liza lived. It was very close by.
Outside, Leo was waiting with Tilura, Phillip and the others.
“So, who are you people?”
Claire asked the two newly arrived people.
We had decided to talk to them here, as there was less chance that we would be overheard.
“Before we speak…let us sit down…”
Said the man.
The building was much like the one I entered when searching for Deam.
It had been abandoned, but since there were so corners with less dust, there was likely soone who ca from ti to ti.
There were two chairs in the room, and though they were old and worn, they were not too uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry that we have no tea or anything to serve you.”
“Indeed, this is not a proper place to entertain soone like Lady Claire…”
The two n sat on the floor in front of us and bowed their heads.
Well, I had not been expecting tea, so it was no problem. I had not even expected chairs.
Still, these two talked and acted in a more polite way than the first two. Soone about them reminded of servants.
“I do not might. So, who are you? It seed like you knew about us from the start.”
“Yes… It is difficult to say… But to put it simply, we are spies.”
“Spies?”
That had an eerie ring to it.
Undercover agents…who sneak into places to acquire information… Though, I did not know much about that…
