genius prince vol 8 chapter 23
"Is it true? That Prince Wayne killed prince Tigris."
Then Miloslav snorted.
"Did he escape at the scene? That's why now he's missing. It would be unreasonable to say otherwise”
Agata snorted. "... . I hear that no one has been seen to have directly harmed him but Lord Caldomeria, what's going on around that?"
"As Sir Agata says. Sir Tigris' men told me that Sir Tigris and Prince Wayne met up in an abandoned house, heard a strange noise, jumped in, and saw Sir Tigris dead and Prince Wayne by his side. "
"Sufficient as circumstantial evidence!"
Miloslav said.
"I think they were trying to make a silly conspiracy. They broke down and one was killed. That's all. Shouldn't we move on to the next agenda?"
Gruyere interrupted with a sly grin. " You are in a great hurry, the Dauphin of Falcasso You make it sound as if it would be inconvenient for us to discuss this."
" What is it, ......? This is ridiculous! Instead of wasting time on something so obvious, why don't we have a more meaningful discussion! Or is it that the Beast King of the North does not understand human logic!!"
" Is a meaningful discussion about the entanglement of King Skilet sitting beside you? Oh, sad. It's more important to push who into the vacant seat than to mourn your dead companion."
"Gu, ki, you ...!"
Miloslav is talking about it, but Steil also talks about his theory.
"I would like to discuss a little more. Sir Tigris didn't have an understanding of art, but he had a strong soul. How was its brilliance deprived and shattered? If I can, oh, I'm sure it will be useful for my creative activities ...! "
"...... But even if we want to talk about it, we don't have a clue," Agata said, and Gruyere laughed and responded.
"Rest assured about that, he’ll be arriving soon."
"arrival ?"
As the saints raised their eyebrows, King Silverio, who had been silent until then, suddenly turned to the entrance of the hall.
Then, as Silverio stared, the door that separated the entrance was pushed open, and a person appeared
"--Hey everyone. I've already met some of you, but let's say hello again."
He smiled and said, feeling everyone's eyes on him.
" Hello, everyone. I know some of you have already met, but let me greet you once again."
-----------------------------------
(It's about time Wayne is showing up at the Holy Meeting)
Looking at the Holy Office from one corner of the alley, Ninym exhaled a little.
(I've gathered as much information as I can in the last few days. In conclusion, the third one is Agata.)
This would make it difficult to denounce Agata through due process. Therefore, the remaining path would depend on how Wayne could win over the elected saints to his side. The holy king is the highest authority in the western countries. If they say black, it will be black even if it is white. Truth is of no value to the Electoral Council, the gathering of the saints. Everything is determined by who benefits from its conclusions and how
Therefore, we can only hope that Wayne's trick of deceiving, misleading, and leading people to wrong conclusions will be demonstrated again this time.
(Even so ...)
The parting of the ways comes to Ninym's mind. Wayne, who had finished scrutinizing the information he had gathered, had one question for Ninym.
(I wonder what that meant.)
Looking back, the meaning of that question is a mystery. What is the value of that information? Wayne suddenly appeared, wondering how far it was from the corridor on the second floor of the abandoned house to the hanging chandelier.
-----------------
On the other hand, it was Miloslav who responded next to Silverio.
" Who the hell do you think you are?! gaurds! Catch him!"
He tries to call a soldier with a loud voice, but Wayne controls it by hand.
" Ah! Prince Miroslav, am I correct? With all due respect, you do not have the authority to move these guards. moreover, I am not bound by the guards."
"No...!"
"Because this is the Holy Office, and it is the Holy King, or the Director of the Evangelical Bureau, who manages it, and it is the Holy King who invited me to the Holy Council, and that this invitation has not yet been rescinded. "
" Well, it is true that it has not been annulled." With a bitter smile, Cardomeria said.
"Well, I showed up because I was invited. It really makes sense. But at the same time, you are also a suspect in the murder of Lord Tigris. What do you think about this?"
wayne replied, sitting at the round table with a grinning face.
“Oh, there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding going around. I am surprised that such a thing happened while I was preparing for the Holy Meeting."
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding?"
Miroslav snarled at Wayne. "Prince Wayne! Are you denying the killing of Tigris?"
" Prince Wayne! Are you denying that you killed Tigris?."
“Of course I deny it. I just happened to be there when he was dying. I would never have harmed Sir Tigris.”
"If so, I'll ask! Who killed Tigris except you!"
"Of course-"
Wayne glanced at Agata. Agata who was caught in the glance strengthens the body as if shot for a moment. Satisfied with the response, Wayne said.
" “An Imperial assassin, of course."
--------------------------
"-- An Imperial assassin, of course.”
Hearing the words from Wayne's mouth, Agata was confused before relief.
(Don't you realize that I'm the third person ...?)
The third person gathered in that abandoned house in response to Tigris's call. It was unquestionably Agata. Although he had managed to escape from the abandoned house due to the fact that the guards had focused their attention on Wayne, he had not been able to completely cover his tracks. He knew that if they investigated, they would find out that he had been in the abandoned house. Therefore, I was thinking about how I would escape when I was accused, but what came out was, unexpectedly, the empire.
(... No, no)
That momentary line of sight. It's definitely the eye that I knew was the third person. But if so-
(... Are you aware of that?)
Wayne chuckled as Agata stared at him
