Part Six

Around thirty minutes after we confiscated the treasures Namitaro had discovered, the knights from the castle arrived. An hour more, and we were finally able to hand the situation over to them and leave. Jeanne, Aura, Namitaro, Albert, Cain, Leon, Gramps, Viscount Mustang, and I all headed to the royal castle to explain in detail what had happened to the king.

Meanwhile, the third group—led by Jin, and which included the remaining neutral nobles—returned home.

Once we arrived at the castle, we were immediately taken to the throne room. By the way, apparently Podro and the others the knights had arrested were taken down to the dungeons below.

Prominent nobles, including the king, Prince Caesar, the prime minister, and other ministers, were already gathered inside the throne room. As I got closer, I realized they were divided into three groups.

The largest group, who I guessed were the royalists, stood behind Caesar. The other two groups were standing right next to each other, so I couldn’t quite tell them apart. But since one group was glaring at the other, I could roughly guess what was going on.

“You did well making the journey back so late at night. According to the reports, I hear there’s a possibility of a coup led by Baronet Podro il Chloride. Can you give me more details?”

Since Viscount Mustang was the highest among us in rank, he took a step forward and began his report. He mainly confirmed what the king had already said, but then also added “It’s possible there were other collaborators involved,” which created quite a stir in the throne room.

“Silence!” The person who had been introduced as the prime minister shouted, and the nobles gradually went quiet. Once no one else was talking, the king spoke.

“The evidence supporting Viscount Mustang’s report has already been submitted, and investigations are underway by the military. Right, Minister?”

“Yes, Your Majesty! The viscount discovered a large quantity of weapons, provisions, and funds. There’s enough evidence to consider it a coup. And taking into consideration the quantity of those items, we suspect the possibility of other collaborators or accomplices, and are currently investigating the matter.”

Prince Lyle’s statement caused another hubbub in the throne room, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Since Podro, a reformist, was the ringleader of this incident, the royalists and neutral nobles were casting critical glances at the reformist group. The reformists then responded in kind, which made the situation begin to deteriorate rather quickly.

“Are you saying that the military suspects us of being complicit in Podro’s crime, Minister?” The person who spoke was a rotund, balding old lech who, according to Luna’s research, was probably the most unpopular person in the castle—Duke Kyzen von Durham. He was exactly how Luna had described him. And although I’d never seen him before, I recognized him right away.

However, given that he was the prime minister, the way he glared at Prince Lyle was quite formidable. I could practically see the sparks flying between the two of them.

“Isn’t it natural for them to suspect us?” Surprisingly, the Finance Minister, Prince Zane, joined the conversation.
