genius prince vol 8 chapter 21

“IOU’S are a man’s best friends"

"Huh, negotiating with you is really life-threatening."

Gruyere laughed so and said.

"So, did you do it?"

"I didn't."

Gruyere looked up at the ceiling in a boring way.
"I thought you had dealt with Tigris, who was incompatible in the future."

"I'm not such a challenging person, King Gruyere."

"Ooh, have you got rid of Cavaline's Ordrasse?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it the official opinion that it was General Lebert who killed the king?"

Both of them slammed each other, but Torcheira broke in, saying that it wasn't the case.

"If the prince didn't kill Tigris, who did it?"

"That's exactly the problem. The most suspicious is probably the third person who should have been there."

Three people invited to an abandoned house under the initiative of Tigris. Since one of them was killed and one was himself, it would be natural for the remaining one to be considered the culprit.

"Just who was the third person ..."

Wayne raised his eyebrows. The opposing Gruyere also groaned.

"You don't know about the third person after all?"

"Yes, from the appearance of Tigris, it seems that he was there."

"It's pretty tough"

Gruyere said.

"Prince Wayne, I don't mind hiding here, but there's not much time left. There was a notice earlier that the holy meeting will be postponed, but it's only a few days before. If you can't find the true criminal who killed Tigris. "

"I will be the culprit"

"That's how it is"

After all, an elected prince who was invited to the Election Conference died in Lucian, where he was invited to attend. If Tigris' homeland, Velancia, were to leave the Levetean Church or even rebel against it, this would be a scandalous incident. From the point of view of Leveteanism, even if it is not true, they must announce who the culprit is and put the fire on him or her.

(in addition to the fact that I am the closest to the culprit, it is convenient for the Levetean Church to make me the culprit in the circumstances. It would be a good opportunity to use the murder of the Elected saint as a pretext to beat Natra, who is an eyesore.)

It was a pinch to say the least. the pinch was doubled because it had to be overturned within a few days.

"... I'd like to ask you for reference, but do you have any idea about the person who had a grudge against Lord Tigris among the elected saint?"

"There is. But, I think it is difficult to find the third person in that line. For example, Miroslav of Farkasso. He had lost many of his men when he was provoked by Tigris, who had placed troops along the border. Agata, the head of the coalition, has recently been experiencing cracks in the unity of the coalition, and the story is that the Tigris were involved in this disengagement effort. There were rumors that he was secretly communicating with the king of Vanhelio, who is not fond of Steil.”

"Sir Tigris, don't he spreads hands little too much ..."

"There is a clause that did not hold the reins of the beast named ambition. That was the place I never got tired of watching."

Gruyere also smiles.

"But when it comes to elected saints, there is more or less a connection. Agata has curtailed Levetian activity in order to seize the coalition and has clashed with the Holy Office several times. Miroslav, whose predecessor was a powerful man, is being targeted by various places in reaction to that. I have had diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of vanhelio. "

In other words, whether it's emotions or national interests, the relationship is ostensibly the same as the Holy Saint but if there is a chance, they will try to crush the relationship. That's the Holy Saint, says Gruyere. Wayne thought this was going to be difficult.

As if he could see through Wayne's inner thoughts, Gruère opened his mouth.

"As a reminder, all I can do is provide a place to hide."

" I understand. But doesn't that mean we can't expect more deals?"

"If you can offer me something reasonable. It is no longer a pleasure to load a sinking ship with gold coins."

"So, for reference, what is King Gruyère's commensurate?"

When asked, Gruyere thought for a few seconds and suddenly noticed Torcheira beside him.

"If you're engaged to Torcheira, I won't help you. What do you think?"

" I'll pretend we never had this conversation."

Involuntarily Gruyere spewed out. Torcheira becomes stuffy and glares at Wayne.

"Prince Wayne, don't you like her so much?"

" No, it's not that, it's just that I don't like the idea of having King Gruyere as my father-in-law.”

Gruyere couldn't hold back, slapping his stomach and bursting out laughing.

"......it seems that the greatest enemy of the concubine has been identified. "

"It's fun to look at the young people who face the challenges, but the biggest entertainment is still the challenges themselves. .All right, Torchceira, you may challenge me anytime."

Wayne looks out the window, looking sideways at the parent and child who smiled and exchanged a knife of words.

-------------------------------------------------

(Well, how much clues can be collected with the remaining grace ...)

it depended on his own heart, secretly running through the city of Lucian.

"--how's it going?"

The corner of an unpopular alley in Lucian. There were two people in hooded clothes lined up in shadows

"Your Highness is safe. He staying at Solgest's mansion now."

As she spoke, Ninym peeked out from behind her hood, her red eyes shining.

"What about you? Nanaki."

"Everyone pretty upset and Franya at the top. Well, no one can blame her."

Another person, Nanaki, replied plainly.

"If I go back and report Wayne's safety, they'll calm down a little. But it will only be temporary. The mansion is surrounded by guards and no one is allowed in or out. If this situation continues , Outbursts are inevitable "

They are under house arrest in an unfamiliar foreign land, their lord is wanted for murder, and they are under house arrest. The stress on the members of the entourage must be considerable, both physically and mentally.

" We need to solve this as soon as possible. ...... The question is, who will be the third ?"

"About that, there are some things I'm curious about."

" I'm listening. What?"

"One is that the guards are moving too quickly. Like the siege of our mansion but just as quickly they're sealing off the city, making it inaccessible to everyone in and out. The purpose is to keep Tigris's killers from escaping, but they're so efficient it's as if they'd prepared for it in advance. "

"There is a possibility that it is simply elaborated, but...... It's a worrisome place."

"One more thing, I did a little research before joining. There are three elected saint whose whereabouts were known that night. Its Gruyere, Silverio, Miloslav."

" What's the story?”

"It has been confirmed that Gruyere went to the party, Silverio to the ceremony, and Miloslav to the mansion where King Skillet was. It is possible that Miloslav secretly left the mansion."

"Even if you include Prince Miloslav, the the three remaining candidates are the Duke of Steil and the representative of Agata. It is highly possible that one of them was in an abandoned mansion at that time."

Ninym takes out a stick-shaped object from her bosom.

" I found it when I snuck into the crime scene earlier, what do you think of this? Nanaki. "

"... Knife scabbard? Dry blood ... this emblem engraved ..."

" The Union of Ulves."
