※It's not in Satou's point of view

14-29 Water Peach Kingdohness, what did the weasel ask?"

"To let theain"

The second prince leisurely replied the cabinet minister from his faction who came to his room

The minister ordered an official behind him to vacate the soldiers outside the door and close it

"The Shadow Castle? Is that possible?"

"Of course not"

The second prince raised the reasons why it's iate won't open unless you take a little girl wearing the 『Necklace of Treasure Key』 that can't be taken out except during the grand festival, on top of that the castle is protected by sentries that even end passed through the second prince's reat dened supreest]

An existence that can't even be defeated by the [Strongest], he can't iod sentry weren't there, Your Highness could have gotten his hands on the treasures sleeping in the Shadow Castle"

"Are you ihness will only take a little bit of inheritance from your ancestor"

The second prince's wavers with the e of that, the official behind thethat contacted the criuild the other day was related to this?"

"--You uild people to kidnap Ru as the Shadow Princess?"

"With all dues respect"

The minister assented to the second prince's worry

"Don't tell me--the B-class adventurers who had an audience with His Majesty were also summoned by them?"

"It is possible There's also the report of a scout-looking adventurer going astray in the prohibited place in the royal castle"

It's probably hard to infiltrate the Shadow Castle no ether with adventurers most active on the frontier, the success rate should be different

"Let the knights to stand by near the cere an order to the o out too It's the older brother's job to save his little sister"

The thought of saving his little sister fro the treasures they have and then confiscating the disrespectful weaselkin's firm floats in his mind

There is no one here who pointed out about hi the chickens before they're hatched

◆Rimia the Sixth Princess of Ru Nii-sah I've switched with Rumia ane-sama to do the role of the Shadow Princess in the festival, Nii-sanize me, who doesn't have pink hair, as his little sister

"If you're tired, let reet the citizens Ru the fruit water"

"Thank you veryhted in the center of the ceremony site

"Hou, this is soht in a barrel by the representative earlier"

"Must be a wealthya barrel of an expensive wine like this"

Nii-saood mood

I've never drunk wine before but people said that the wine in this kingdoent and bad so this n country

"Here's sorape water for Rumia-sama"

"Thank you"

I drink transparent red drink offered by an unfaar water that I got during Nii-saet rape water

My view shakes

I staggered, fell to the ground and looked at the surrounding with disorderly ?

"Hey, isn't the all-iave us a defective product"

"Oy! Save your coet out quickly"

I could only shiver with pale face hearing the violent words

Just when I thought e set--"

My frail protest reached no one, and I fainted as I was carried roughly

◆Cri us frouild boss looked at the back, he saw cavalry wearing scale mails

Despite their heavy armor, their horses speed is faster

"10 horses all huh There's only a few of them, but they appeared too fast"

They must've been on stand by even before the princess was kidnapped

It's an ihts of this country

"Tsk, did we get set up by the weasel bastard?"

"Boss, those are the second prince's troops"

"That schemer daredevil second prince sure is fast Oy, use the sdom explorers Throw it after we pass that watchtower!"

"Yea"

When the boss passed through a watchtower for festival use, he cut the tower's ropes

Slightly afterward, his subordinate threhite bundle, and then s the cries in the back, the ate

They sate and let a subordinate set the this much"

"Don't worry We just have escape the country once we got the treasures in the Fallen Castle"

The boss laughed off the vice's worry

There were many cases where pursuers couldn't catch up to the the fact that there's a little traffic between the cities and the borders of the eastern countries

Although, cases of kidnapping a royalty and pillaging the national treasure like these are probably going to be an exception

Only several people including the boss and the vice notice it

"What if we don't get the treasures?"

The ti his horse

"No worries The things we stole from the prince and the princess earlier are already valuable enough We could even get peerage rank if we sold this 『Necklace of Treasure Key』 this princess had to so countries"

"As expected of boss, you're well thought!"

Unlike the gloomy vice, the subordinates applauded the boss

The h the forest toward the Shadow Castle on their horses
