EP.88 Crazy dog and crazy maid (3)
The gray wizard, Raniel.
She overheard from the princess about people related to the first prince. Princess Le Ruel whispered to Raniel everything she had spied on and investigated throughout her life.
Indeed, the First Prince’s faction was huge.
There are many people at his feet. There are too many, but will the palace function properly even if they are removed? It was to the point where I even had doubts.
The doubts were evident in his facial expression.
Seeing Raniel’s expression like that, Princess Lruel smiled bitterly. That smile is ‘Can you handle this?’ He seemed to be asking.
Raniel smoothed his chin.
I organized my thoughts and organized what to do based on the information I heard.
There is a lot to clean up.
Having a lot means that it is cumbersome to clean them up one by one.
Raniel was the next Magic Tower lord of the Gray Magic Tower, and was a capable commander and knight on the battlefield. When he had a lot to handle, he knew what to do.
‘It’s annoying.’
Raniel thought so.
‘It would be easier to just throw it all away.’
So concluded.
* * *
For the past few days, there have been ugly rumors going around the villa.
Rumors move quickly because they have no foot. Rumors quickly circulated around the palace through people’s mouths and ears.
『Well, these days at the villa…』
The rumor is that he is very loud and does not want to stay in the villa.
『No, Her Royal Highness Princess Lruel…』
Rumors are spreading within the royal castle.
It starts with my roster.
The maids who served the first princess, Lruelle, whisper. The whispering is as follows:
『Five court wizards were dragged into Her Majesty the Princess’s reception room.』
『However, not a single wizard came out of the villa. Everyone was captured somewhere.』
『Every night, no, both day and night, screams are heard from the basement of the villa.』
Rumors add to rumors.
『The palace wizards were also taken away. This time the number is different. It’s fever. They are tied up one after another.』
『Something is strange. The eyes of the court wizards are out of focus. It seems like he is shaking with fear.』
『Well, what on earth did you do?』
When you can’t even guess.
When you don’t know the reason, the rumor spreads more quickly. Rumors follow speculation.
『Isn’t Her Majesty the Princess crazy?』
『The nickname “rabid dog” is truly fitting…』
『Aren’t the wizards the only ones who were captured?』
『What?』
People keep coming to the villa. There are many people being dragged in, but no one is leaving the villa. How on earth is this happening?
『Your Majesty has not said anything.』
『Originally, His Majesty does not personally interfere in such matters. How about the first prince?』
『He is also silent. It is unknown.』
There is nothing to know.
『The captain of the guard was dragged away.』
『That one too? This is…you…』
『We are the Beast Breeding Manager…』
『Our…Deputy Deputy…』
Despite the unknown, events continue to unfold. At the center of the incident is Princess Lruelle. And, there is a maid who stays by her princess’s side.
『Black hair.』
『Black eyes.』
『They say he is extremely strong. They say he throws adult men around like he’s throwing a ball.』
『It’s not important, but they said the off-white color is really pretty.』
『They say you know how to use magic.』
『I heard he even defeated a court wizard with a single applause?』
『No, where in the world is a maid like that…』
No one knows the maid’s identity.
An unidentified maid protects the princess. The maids in the villa lower their voices and whisper.
and.
“Tong, please contact me!”
The rumor reaches its peak.
“No, no! I will wait! If you want me to lick it, I will lick it! “If you give me just one chance, just one chance…!”
Someone is dragged out of Princess Lruel’s reception room. The moment they see the face of the person being dragged out, the maids’ faces harden.
The palace magician, Teslut.
The palace magician is a representative figure of the royal magicians and is famous for being proud and gentle.
“Just once, please, just once!”
He is holding the doorknob of the reception room and begging with tears and snot pouring out. And, there is a person who approaches him.
“Lord Teslut, you seem to be mistaken.”
This is Princess Lruelle.

She smiled and stretched out her hand. One by one, he hit Teslout’s fingers that were holding her doorknob.
Tuk.
Finally, the last finger falls.
Teslut misses the doorknob and falls to the floor. He looks up with shaking eyes.
At the end of that line of sight is Princess Lruel.
She opens her mouth slowly.
“Originally, it is said that the role of the guards is to crawl if the original woman is crawling, and to lick if she is to be licked. Why is a court wizard a ‘court’ wizard? “He is a court wizard because he exists for the royal family.”
The voice is very calm, as if saying something so obvious. Teslut is at a loss for words in front of that confident attitude.
“I guess I have nothing more to say.”
She gestured.
“Take it with you.”
“How much should I hit?”
The escort driver asks.
Lruel gave a short answer to that question.
“I guess I can whip him until his crooked back straightens out.”
Teslut’s complexion turns pale.
“Ugh, wow! Her Royal Highness Princess Leruel! “It can’t be like this, it can’t be like this…!”
He screams and is dragged by the escort driver. The maids who saw that quickly looked away.
Squeak, boom.
Eventually, the door to the reception room closes again.
“······.”
A new rumor sprouts in the silent hallway. The princess captured the palace chief magician and killed him. She announced that she would beat her until her bent back healed.
How on earth?
No one knows why.
Only one maid passing between them moves in search of new prey.
2.
“At this point, I’m starting to wonder too.”
“yes?”
“What on earth have you been doing to get things done so neatly?”
“It’s neat?”
The princess looked at me and said in a puzzled tone.
“I heard that the laboratory where the royal wizards stay was completely destroyed. “Aren’t the corruptions they kept hidden in front of me now?”
She pointed to the documents she had just presented to the face of the palace magician, Teslut.
“You are the one who brought this.”
“Yes?”
“You are the one who destroyed the palace wizards’ laboratory and their secret meeting room.”
“Was that a secret conference room?”
It opened when I kicked it.
“······Anyway, you must have made a big mess and came back… and you didn’t leave any traces. “How on earth did they do it?”
“hmm···.”
“I knew he would leave a trace, and I thought of a lot of sentences to reply to, but it seemed like there was no need to write anything.”
“It’s okay,” I said, but instead of saying that, I touched my chin for a moment. I know from experience that the sentence, ‘It worked because I did it.’ used to bring about a bit of irritation and a lot of annoyance from the listener.
‘Skebal, that skull gourd was completely twisted and wanted to die.’
Since I couldn’t possibly do that in front of the princess, I decided to explain it in as much detail as possible.
“I burned it.”
“what?”
“If anyone saw it, they knocked it out, and if there were footprints or traces, they burned it, right?”
“…You set fire to the royal palace?”
“Hey, I didn’t burn much.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“Just a little scorch on the wall? “It’s the size you could say a spark flew during an experiment.”
“···You mean you knocked out the witness?”
“Do you see this way? If you press firmly or shake it, your vision will start to tingle, and your field of vision will become narrower at that time. Then then…”
“······.”
I gave an explanation, and the princess remained silent.
There was a hint of confusion in the eyes looking at me.
“You…”
“yes?”
“No, it’s done…”
He had a lot to say, but his tone seemed like he wasn’t going to bother saying it. I just tilted my head.
‘Did I do something wrong?’
I don’t think I did anything wrong.
I just woke up because I was complaining.
3.
Two days have passed since Raniel went on a rampage.
When two days passed and the morning of the third day dawned, the hallways of the villa were crowded with all kinds of people.
-majesty···!
The reasons for visiting the princess’ villa could be so varied… They didn’t gather in the morning like this just to say hello to Princess Lruelle.
-Her Royal Highness Princess Leruelle…!
-Please, please have an audience…!
Please notify us.
Please just give it a chance, that information is wrong.
Such a voice echoes through the hallways of the villa. Regardless of their status, those whose lives have been pledged to the princess cry out in the hallway of the villa.
The ledger that had been hidden away somehow ended up in the hands of the princess.
For some reason, the princess knows the entire outline of the experiment that was conducted in secret. Everything, including where and how she disposed of that failure.
It all happened in two days.
A letter that arrived at their department and office puts a chill in their minds. That’s why they gathered at the villa.
-Princess, please.
People whose secrets were discovered, people whose weaknesses were caught, and people who mortgaged their lives to the princess. Such people fill the hallways of the villa.
-Please, let us know.
Despite their cries, the door does not open. A crazy dog that should bark doesn’t even think about barking. That actually brings greater fear to them.
Please notify us.
Only their voices echoed through the hallways of the villa.

“Speaking of this soundproofing barrier, its performance is very good.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
Lruel plays the chessboard.
Sitting across from him is Raniel. These past few days, they have been playing chess to pass the time.
“I’ll leave it at that.”
Lruel’s complexion is not very good.
The pattern that started at the nape of her neck had already extended to her chest.
Cold sweat ran down her cleavage, but Lruel didn’t show it at all. She continued speaking in a voice that was no different from her usual voice.
“Your rampage is worth it.”
She said quietly.
“Professor, my brother lost a lot of cards thanks to your rampage. “The people who gathered in front of the main lady’s villa in the morning breeze like this are proof of that.”
Leruel let out a sigh and a laugh.
The fact that those who were originally supposed to receive the protection of the first prince were crying loudly in the villa… meant that they too were abandoned.
“The corruption has been exposed so clearly that if I try to look after them, my brother will also suffer quite a blow. Of course, my brother is not shaken by such a blow. So, you can ignore that and take their side…”
With a thud, she moved the object.
The black pawn is placed in front of the white pawn. It was a clear abandonment.
“My brother is not qualified to do that. It’s easy to throw away anything. “To protect myself.”
Words of abandonment are eaten.
“professor.”
“yes.”
“I think my brother like that should not become king.”
Chess pieces move.
Black and white are biting each other on the chessboard.
“Pawns are willing to sacrifice themselves for other pieces.”
The pawn moves, and the pawn gets eaten.
“It’s not strong. The movements are also simple. However, they are worth their while just by standing there.”
The pawn checks the movement.
Intimidated by the black pawn, the white pieces wander around the board.
“The pawn becomes a discard piece, and because it provides a check, other pieces move easily.”
The objects hidden behind the phone move.
“professor.”
Lruelle said while holding the piece.
“I have great respect for knights.”
“You said that last time too.”
“It’s something that doesn’t lose its value no matter how many times you say it.”
She sighed and laughed.
“The main woman is. “Knights on the battlefield rather than knights in the royal palace.”
Tuk.
“Rather than the wizards who laugh and chat in the royal palace, the wizards who weave spells on the battlefield. “I think those people are the ones who deserve the respect of others.”
Tap, and move the object.
“To them, the original woman humbles herself. She pays homage.”
Because they deserve it.
Leruelle muttered that and grabbed the bishop.
“Wizards are competent. There are many places that want that ability. What they ask for is the price. “They do things that normal humans can’t do.”
A bishop is placed on the board.
“There are people who dedicate their abilities to protecting humanity.”
The bishop who was hiding behind the pawn comes forward. Stand next to the phones. Sometimes it is placed in front of him.
“There are people who give up all good conditions, rights, and authority… and dedicate their talents to protecting humanity. “It is right to call it a sacrifice.”
No one forces them to do that.
That’s their own choice. So, it’s worth it.
Lruel thought so.
“Whether it’s for a wizard, a knight, for my own pride, for honor, or for achievements… I’m fine with that.”
The bishop who was bitten by the white piece changes his mind.
“As a result, they sacrifice themselves for humanity. “I express the utmost respect to these proud knights.”
so.
With a thud, the princess put down the chess pieces.
“What the main woman can do is to support the interior of this country so that their sacrifices are not in vain.”
This is something I said once.
The princess continued to speak more concretely than before. Raniel, who overheard her words, was silent for a moment.
“······.”
Raniel, who was about to move the horse, stops his hand. The fence protecting the king has already been completed.
The fence protecting the black king is strong.
The fence built over the abandoned horses does not seem likely to fall down easily. It doesn’t look like it will break through.
“And, I think it is her mission to put in place a king they can protect.”
The princess touches the black king in the center.
“I think there should be a king on the throne who won’t let their sacrifices be in vain.”
“······.”
“So, my brother should not be king.”
“Then who do you think is suitable?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“Cook,” she laughed.
“You know very well that the child should sit on the throne. “For that, I would even give up my life.”
With those last words, Lruelle takes a breath.
“Whoa…”
Lruelle let out a long breath.
Cold sweat is on her forehead. Rani El decided that it would be difficult for her to play chess any longer and began to organize her board.
Lruel didn’t stop him either.
She stumbled and headed to bed. As she lay down on her bed, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Ran El.
“professor.”
“I’m listening.”
“Thanks to you, it was fun.”
“······.”
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I felt this comfortable and refreshed.”
Raniel narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
The spell is coming to an end. The spell that was eating away at her body put her liberation just around the corner.
‘···And yet, you still maintain your sanity.’
It was amazing mental strength.
Even compared to the knights on the battlefield, they are not at all inferior.
widely.
After putting away the chess pieces, Raniel sat down on the chair next to the princess’s bed. Her gaze suddenly met that of the princess lying next to her.
Light golden eyes chase blue ones.
“The main woman.”
Eventually, slowly.
Very slowly, Lruelle opened her mouth.
“I will trust you.”
Even amidst the pain that eats away at his body, his eyes do not waver. That voice also doesn’t waver.
“It means that I trust you, not based on the judgment of others.”
she smiled
It was the same mischievous smile as always.
“The main woman’s trust is rather heavy.”
so.
“Protect your wife. “I will trust you.”
With those last words, Lruelle closed her eyes.
It is noisy outside, but there is silence in the room.
In the silence, Raniel narrowed his eyes.
The end of three short but long days was approaching.
