“Now, then, let’s sort out this situation.”

Everyone was gathered in Carloyd’s room, keeping an eye on his condition as they discussed what to do next. Taking the central role was Julius.

Lyriann and Alois, who had returned after hearing that Carloyd had been attacked, were also in the room. Alois had been away from the capital on Carloyd’s orders. The assailant had probably been waiting for the moment Alois was away from Carloyd’s side to attack.

“Do you know who the culprit is?” Julius asked.

Lyriann nodded. “The one who attacked the emperor was a close aide who has been with him since he was the crown prince.”

He had been by Carloyd’s side even when he’d been treated callously by his father, the previous emperor, for opposing him. Apparently, that individual who had been so close to Carloyd had been tempted by his half-brothers to betray him. Carloyd had been cautious of the castle guards per Julius’s advice, but the emperor must have never thought he would be betrayed by his close aide.

Although the emperor’s wound had been healed with magic, it would still take time before he was able to move. If the emperor remained out of commission, then there was the dreadful possibility his enemies would take the chance to seize control.

After thinking for a moment, Julius spoke to the still-shaken Lyriann. “Before Emperor Carloyd wakes up, I think we should make it clear who the culprit is. Could you help with that?”

“You want my help?”

“I do. At this rate, there’s a possibility that the emperor’s half-brothers will take control of the castle under the pretext of finding the culprit. That will probably affect how we’re treated here.”

There was the danger that they would be imprisoned in the castle until the assassin was brought to light. It would be better for them to be driven out of the country.

“The researchers involved in creating the magical tool... If the brothers’ underlings really were behind the attack on Sarge and Amelia’s rooms, then while Emperor Carloyd is confined to his bed, it’ll be dangerous for us to remain here in the empire. Moreover, I want to identify the true culprit for Emperor Carloyd’s safety as well.”

Julius wanted Lyriann to use her power of both diverting and attracting people’s attention. Having understood that, Lyriann had looked flustered. Yet, hearing that this was in order to protect Carloyd, she looked determined to do so.

“...Understood. This will be my first time using my power like this, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it well. But if it’s to protect His Majesty, then I will try.”

Alois drew in close to Lyriann, looking at her with concern. Lyriann gave him a brave smile.

“I appreciate it. I promise I’ll protect Emperor Carloyd,” said Julius. He then asked Lyriann and Alois to assemble the heads of the imperial aristocracy.

A disturbance had spread among the nobles when they received the news that an assassin had attacked the emperor.

Carloyd’s two younger half-brothers looked displeased. They had wanted to take this opportunity to seize the castle, but Lyriann and Alois had acted first.
