Vol 6: Chapter 20 (2)

Eva and the others entered a certain company building in the 4th block.

It was also the place where she once marched in with Reiji and caught the mediation of slavesin fact, it was a company which was under the patronage of House Sillys, and a place where she could lie low if something happened.

When the fat chairman saw Eva, his face turned pale. Eva explained that she was traveling incognito and made him promise to keep her presence a secret. The chairman nodded his deeply pale face seeming to be traumatized by Reijis rampage. And after guiding Eva into the company, he rushed out of there, as if escaping.

As the night went on, the knights took turns taking a nap and keeping watch. Silver Balance borrowed a room to rest in, stating that they should recuperate whenever an opportunity presents itself.

It was at that time that Zerry returned. As soon as she returned, everyone got up and gathered in a room.

Welcome back, Zerry-san. I sent you on a dangerous mission.

The only light source in the large room was a magic lamp placed on a table. Everyone sat on a chair around it, and the knights stood behind Eva.

Its not that big of a deal. Though I wouldnt turn down a small reward.

Zerry

Dante chided Zerry, who winked while making a coin circle with her thumb and index finger.

No, Dante-san. She managed a mission that is worth it. When this is done, House Sillys will thank not just Zerry-san but everyone appropriately.

Oho.Zerry was openly pleased.

Haa, Zerry. I wont forgive you if you actually failed to infiltrate.

I-It went well, Dante boss. Ive been to the 2nd Holy District. And let me start by saying this Earl Sillys is safe.

Evas body, which was slightly leaning forward, returned slightly to its original position. Even though she appeared calm outwardly, her inner self seemed to be quite impatient she welcomed Zerry quicker than anyone else earlier.

He seems to be working with Duke Grenjido at the moment.

With the Duke

Yes. Since he helped with the coup, he might even be executed once everything is over.

Eva clasped her hands on her lap, but she didnt cry or raise her voice.

Everyone here knew Evas strength, but they didnt expect it to be this much.

Her feelings were suppressed by her reasoning power.

Sorry, Im sure a letter would have been better, but the situation will turn worse if it got out. It seems that the Earl is closely watched by Duke Grenjido. That is why I will try to relay the information I heard from Sebas as accurately as possible verbally.

Please go on.

It seems that the Earl learned of the coup only after it was decided. At that point, it was impossible to stop it anymore, so the question was whether to lend a hand or not. Since the Duke had already assembled his troops, opposing him would only end in the Earls vain death, so he decided to lend a hand.

Its my father-like decision. Did he work closely with the Duke to reduce the bloodshed as much as possible?

Youre right. The Earl was also in communication with the Holy Queen, so it seems that the Holy Queen surrendered the Holy Royal Palace without any resistance, knowing that the Earl was moving together with the Duke.

Then, is the Holy Queen safe?

Yes, that seems to be so.

Eva leaned back on the chair and released some of the tension in her body.

Is that such an important point? I dont really understand.Zerry asked.

Yes. If Her Majesty is alive and once again rises to the top of the country, then the Earl would not be executed.

Captain Maxim commented from the side.

I dont think they have made a big announcement about the coup to the Holy City. Therefore there is less confusion amongst the public. But on the other hand, the Saint Knight Kingdom is aware of the coup. They must have been informed first.Eva speculated.

Why would they tell other countries first?Zerry asked.

I am not too sure of the details, but I think Duke Grenjido doesnt want to cause confusion.

They went to the lengths of a coup, but dont want to cause confusion?

All his actions end up in service of construction of the Goddess Temple. Therefore, they first contacted neighboring countries to receive the budget for building the church from another country without significantly changing the domestic budget.

Huh?

You do not understand?

Sorry, I still dont get it

It means that is how important building the temple is to the Duke so much so that he would orchestrate a coup to achieve it.

!!

Everyone was taken aback.

We might have been misunderstanding something. The Duke will build the Goddess Temple, no matter what. My father will not be able to sabotage the construction anymore. The temple is important to that extent.

That was what it meant that message.

Message?

Zerry nodded.

When the Earl left the mansion, he seemed to have left a message to Sebas-san. To deliver this message to you in case you reach out.

My life is probably not in danger, but the next time we meet, I may not be the same as I used to be. Similar to the Duke

Having seen through the temple as a magic tool, the Earl thinks that he too would soon fall into blind faith towards the goddess under the influence of that magic tool similar to Duke Grenjido right now.

As he expects something such as that to happen soon, he must take action now.

Young lady what are you going to do? The Earl is telling you that his life is not in danger, so run away. We still have time for that right now. Its unfortunate since we came all the way to the Holy City.Zerry said.

Everyones gaze gathered on Eva.

I will remain.

Eva answered immediately.

I am Eva Sillys, the daughter of Earl Sillys. I cannot escape to safety while my father is struggling alone. I do not know what I can do but as a daughter, as a noble, I will do what I need to do.

The Earls knights felt proud to hear those words. A stream of tears rolled down Maxims cheeks.

You have become a fine lady.he said.

Captain Why are you crying even though we are supposed to start taking action?

I cant stop myself

Eva sighed in response.

Its great that you have decided to take action, but do you have a plan?Dante cut into the conversation with a wry smile.

Before that, I would like to ask Silver Balance

Of course we will participate.

No, that is not it. Perhaps you should not get involved

Impossible. If we back out here, Reiji will get angry ah, no, Reiji wont get angry. But Reiji will definitely try to help you, young lady.

Reiji, huh

Yeah. Well, some of our members will be troubled if something happens to House Sillys.

Dante pointed with his thumb to Zerry. She shook her head vertically, hoping to get her reward.

Seeing that, Eva laughed a little.

Thank you. It is most reassuring to have Silver Balances help.

We are adventurers, so I dont think we can enter the heart of the Holy City, but lets do what we can.

Actually, I just came up with an idea. It is something that only adventurers can do.

?

Dante, Mimino and Zerry looked at each other.

This is what I came up with.

Eva began to talk about her own plans.
