“By the way, what should we do with these people?”
When her excitement had calmed down a bit, Jeanne asked me, glancing at the fallen – all unconscious – people.
“What do you mean?”
“Shall I arrest them and have them punished? If I….. testify, they will all be hanged for sure.
“By testimony alone?”
“The testimony of royalty is very important.”
“Oh.”
I nodded.
I’ve heard that before.
“I’ve heard that the testimony of royalty and nobility is more powerful than that of commoners.”
“Yes.”
Jeanne answered clearly.
“A royal family’s public statements are made in the name of the family.”
“That’s a heavy burden to bear.”
I nodded and agreed.
Until now, I knew that the testimonial power of royalty and nobility is higher and stronger than that of common people, but I didn’t know the reason.
But now, after listening to Jeanne’s explanation, I was convinced.
If she was speaking on the back of her family’s name, then she was risking “everything” the royal family has.
If I think about it normally, I wouldn’t do anything bad.
If a testimony lie was found out, they would be in trouble.
“Well, there was no damage to us.”
“Of course, they would never have been able to do anything in front of Cyril-sama’s power, but I can’t allow them to be so rude as to try to kill you.”
“Hmm.”
Jeanne says it in a very pale tone, but if you examine the content carefully, you can tell that she’s quite angry.
She’s really going to tie up these guys who attacked me.
I looked at the fallen men.
“Well, they’re in the business of doing this. It’s not a metaphor or anything, it’s just that it’s the loser’s fault.”
“Then let’s call Louise and take these people to the authorities.”
“No, that can wait.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to do that?”
“yea”
I nodded clearly.
“But first, there’s something I want to try.”
“What would you like to do?”
Jeanne tilted her head and I smiled back at her.

In the city of Boisroussel, in the base of Lindworm.
I visited my old home with the princess.. just the two of us.
When we entered the building, we immediately encountered Rui.
“You–“
Rui was taken aback when he saw me.
“‘He,hey, what are you doing here?”
Rui was clearly agitated.
He usually came at me whenever he saw me, but today was different.
He was clearly agitated.
That reaction alone was enough to tell me that he was involved.
“I need to talk. Get me someone who can be in charge.”
“We don’t have anything to talk–“
“Cyril-sama, isn’t that enough?”
The princess interrupted Rui’s words.
It was a quiet voice, but it was quite powerful.
The quiet voice alone completely overpowered Rui’s impassioned shout.
“I still think that the facts should be made public.”
“What the hell are you– oh!”
After shouting at her, Rui noticed.
He realized the identity of the girl in front of him.
She was not Jeanne now.
It is the princess who has returned to her original form.
“The fact is, …… you don’t mean …….”
“Yes, what I saw, what I heard. I’m going to tell that to the public.”
“Wait, wait, wait! That’s–“
There were no words after ‘That’s’.
It seems that he understood that the princess had seen the event and was going to be a witness to it.
He instantly understood the seriousness of the matter and tried to stop her.
But he also understood where he stood and shut his mouth before it was too late.
When Rui understood the situation, I sighed deliberately.
“Okay. It seems that he doesn’t even listen to what the princess has to say. I’m sorry, but could you please visit the government office with me?” Cyril asked.
“I don’t mind, it’s more important that we get to the bottom of this.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
The princess said with a straight face.
This is the way we discussed it before we came here, but there was no sense of theatricality in her words.
Rather, she was seriously trying to do so.
If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have blurted it all out in public.
She’s serious.
That’s why it’s so overwhelming.
“Wait, wait, wait.”
“Huh?”
“Uh-um…….”
Rui moans.
His mouth gapes like a goldfish.
“This is the last time I’m asking. If the person in charge doesn’t show up, I’m leaving.”
“Wait a minute, please.”
Rui turned bloodthirsty and rushed to the back of the building.
“I hope no one comes out.”
The princess looked behind her and blurted out.
It looks like her anger has returned after witnessing the ‘ringleader’.
☆
In the parlor of the Lindworm headquarters, the princess and I faced a man.
He was an elderly man named Pascal.
He’s one of the oldest members of this guild, and he’s currently the vice guild master.
“I didn’t expect you to show up.”
“I didn’t want to be disrespectful to Her Highness.”
“You don’t think what you’ve done is already disrespectful?”
“I am truly sorry, Your Highness. I am sorry for my lack of education. They should have notified me as soon as they knew that your Royal Highness was here.”
Pascal said and bowed deeply.
“I sincerely apologize for my rudeness to Her Highness.”
“……”
The princess accepted Pascal’s apology without hesitation.
“Well, …… I heard the story. I slightly interrogated Rui earlier, and it seems that he did indeed have attacked Cyril.”
“Oh, so you’re admitting it,” the Princess said.
“I’m very sorry for my lack of supervision. Rui will be punished accordingly–“
“I’m here to tell you that you’d better not do that.”
“–……. What do you mean by that?”
Pascal looked at me with a quizzical expression and asked.
“Rui got those bastards to attack me. That’s fine. The problem is that the princess was there.”
“Mmm…….”
“Princess. What did those people say when they saw you?”
I talked to the princess.
“This is good, I thought it was just a simple kill, but it’s got a bonus too.”
“That’s right.”
I looked from the princess back to Pascal.
“Well, this is the case. The meaning of the word ‘bonus’. You know what they’re thinking since we both work in this kind of business. They were trying to sexually assault the princess.”
“…… It was a coincidence, they didn’t know who Her Highness was.”
“Of course they didn’t. But that doesn’t make it any less of a crime, does it?”
“……”
“It is true that Lindworm’s folly has put the princess in danger of sexual assault. I just don’t know if it’s okay to talk about it publicly.”
“That’s…….”
Pascal’s face tightened.
It’s the same everywhere.
The princess has a father.
The king is her father.
And with a few exceptions, every daughter is doted on by her father.
If this story gets out, and the king hears about it, Lindworm will be in trouble.
“What do you want me to do?”
“This is an injury case. Injury cases are settled between the parties involved and that’s the end of it.”
“Wa, wait a minute, please.”
Pascal left the room at once.
He returned less than a minute later.
“Can we please wrap this up with this?”
Pascal held out a bundle of church bills.
Each church bill was worth 10,000 reals, and there were ten in total.
In other words, 100,000 reals.
Pascal presented them to the princess.
The princess looked at it and asked me.
“How do you like it, Cyril?”
At that moment, I didn’t miss Pascal’s face became stiff.
Pascal had misjudged who was in control of the conversation.
Practically thinking, the princess was the one who was in control of the conversation – but in reality, the princess was asking my intentions, I was in control.
He sensed this and his face became stiffer than ever.
Well, that’s just it.
If I push him too hard, he’ll get upset.
I think I’ll end it here.
I received ten church bills.
“It’s settled.”
I said.
Pascal was relieved to hear that.
I had beaten back the assassins from Lindworm, and now I received 100,000 rials for it.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
