Chapter 48: The Maids Circumstances, and the Summit.

We are Esupion. Intelligence officers under the direct command of His Majesty the King of Belfast

His Majesty the King?

Yes. We were assigned as protection for the Princess

It makes sense coming from Lapis-sans explanation. Being the Princess of the country I thought it was an extremely noninterference policy, but its that huh? Protect Yumina from the shadows?

Well I did hear some noises from the ceiling inThe Silver Moon. I thought it was just some rats but it was probably Lapis group. Esupionis something like a garden watchmen or spy?

Are you two the only guards?

No~. There are several others~. Theyre all girls though~

The other housemaid responds to that question and Cecil-san removes her mask and shows a tensionless smile. Theyre all girls? Well if theyre sneaking around in the walls, I need to think about privacy and changing, that would be more preferable.

I mean, the entire time? Since Belfast?

Its our duty after all

Which reminds me, when I went back with Gateto the house you two werent there. And, that was a conspiracy with Lyme-san?

Thats right~

They successfully fooled me huh? I really want to hear if the story about belonging to the housemaid guild is true. It was a necessary skill for going undercover almost all of the Esupiongirls were members.

Ah, then could it be that when we were fighting against the black dragon the one that threw the knife was

That was Cecil. Shes a knife throwing expert

Ehehehe~ Its not that great

Cecil-san blushes when looked at. This fluffy person huh? You really cant judge a person by their attitude.

What do you plan to do hereafter?

Well keep guarding Yumina-sama from the shadowsbut, master we have one request

Lapis-san hesitates to speak while looking at me. Will you stop with the master bit please.

Please keep our identity a secret from the princess please

Aa, protecting from the shadows while having your identity exposed is certainly bad huh?

If the fact that were protecting the princess is exposed~ the princess will be angry at the King you know~

That reason huh? Well, it would be like telling your daughter you trust her, sending her off, but not actually trusting her at all.

Well, its not a difficult thing to keep it a secret. For the time being, I separate from the pair, and return to Yumina.

I told the circumstances to Kohaku via telepathy but, lied to Yumina and Lindsey saying They got awayActually, they did get away using that flash powder. The girls let out a mysterious face, I somehow deceive them, and then we returned to the castle that day.

The next day, for the purpose of ally conference between Belfast and Misumido, the two Kings met.

Because it was the summit, there was a bit of a dispute as to who was going to go where. In the end, the Belfast king come to Misumido, at the same time was transported in full view of the conference room.

In the conference on our side was Lyon-san, my group and the knights that had come from Belfast, on Misumidos side was, the Beast King-heika and Prime Minister Graz-san, along with sever of the warrior squad, the wolf demi-human Garun-san.

Upon the mirror I opened Gate, from within, the His Majesty the king and his younger brother Duke Olutorinde.

No one was able to hide their surprise at the fact that two people came through the mirror, of course that was only a moment, and as a matter of course the kings of each respective country met each other.

Welcome to Misumido, King of Belfast

We wish to express our gratitude for inviting us, King of Misumido

Each shakes the others hand. With this it because a discussion between countries and w
