Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 111
Our visit to the empire came to an end with Zeke's disgusting behavior..
As soon as the next morning dawned, it was the Marquis of Vendée alone who greeted us at the gate as we moved..
"It was a short trip, but it left a huge mark.."
Esmuet only sent a letter to the Marquis saying he would see him again soon, but did not appear. In fact, considering the severity of the incident that occurred this time, it was natural that I would be hectic for a while, so I didn't feel any regrets about it..
"In the end, the day will come when I will praise you for your contribution, but as someone who eats away at the royal family, I would like to express my personal gratitude to you who have sacrificed your whole life for the princess.."
The Marquis of Vendet, who spoke with great enthusiasm, personally handed me a very simple-looking thing....
Gauntlet? Gwongap? What should I say about that??
"According to what I heard this time, most of the injuries were caused by magic. I happen to have some good equipment left in my family, so I would like to take this opportunity to gift it to you.."
This item, which looked exactly like an armadillo-armored lizard but had a softer feel, felt too combative to be called a simple gauntlet and too thin to be called a gauntlet. In terms of color alone, it doesn't really matter as it goes well with my dwarven longsword, but it is clear that it is not a typical design..
Since I had no intention of refusing after handing it over, I decided to put on the gauntlets that went up to my elbows on the spot, and the Marquis of Vendet added further explanation..
"The empire has made efforts in many ways to fight against the demons. One of them was to collaborate with dwarves to produce armor that could better resist demon magic, and this gauntlet was a success among those attempts.."
"Is it... in its own way??"
It is an item that someone as high as the Marquis would give without hesitation to the person who saved the princess, so it must be a high-quality product, but the nuance that follows is very subtle..
In response to my question, the Marquis of Vendet continued his explanation with a wry smile..
"The basic durability and magic resistance were good enough with the help of the dwarves, but due to the lack of the Empire's magic arts, the effectiveness of the spells cast was a bit terrible. It takes too much mana to activate the enchanted magic.."
"Can you guess what kind of magic you gave it??"
"It's a barrier that blocks magic. If activated, it is a magic so strong that it cannot be penetrated by wizards with star potential.."
The problem was fuel economy and efficiency..
It is said that it required enough mana to cast four simple protection spells, making it impossible to use at all. However, it wasn't any more efficient than that, so it ended up being stuck somewhere in the Marquis family's warehouse and ended up in my hands..
"Still, it's good enough equipment, so it should block simple projectile magic without a problem.."
"thank you I think it would be a big help.."
"It's an insignificant gift. Anyway, I hope we have a chance to talk more next time I visit.."
As I ended my conversation and moved slightly away from the Marquis of Vendée, who had begun to talk about various things with Ragnis, Asilier, who was quietly watching our conversation, massaged her ears and said,.
"That guy was a pretty great wizard.."
"I've met you?"
"I was with Princess Esmue when she visited Ogwen in person. She was the one who introduced the simple gate.."
"Simple gate? That makes sense?"
I almost raised my voice at the shocking story of how a mobile phone that was just a walkie-talkie changed to a smart phone overnight, but Asilier calmly expressed what she saw, even using hand gestures..
"I was surprised too. About this size? I took out something that looked like a square metal box, and when it unfolded, a gate was created.."
"The gate is something a little bigger than my fist....?"
It seems Asilier has caught a glimpse of the Empire's cutting-edge technology. As for the gauntlets I just received, the Marquis of Vende may be a very intelligent person in charge of the empire's magic technology..
He's good-looking and has good skills, so it's a bit annoying, but I tolerate it because I've become nicer after receiving gifts..
"Now that I think about it, what will my sister do now??"
"For now, I decided to be indebted to Ragnis. Because I didn't clean up the house completely. I guess I'll have to go back to Ogwen first.."
"To come to the capital?"
"To be exact, it comes to where L.D. is. If you go, I'll go too."
Asili said, “I have made up my mind now,” and smiled with determined eyes. She strengthened her hands with her arms crossed..
"Since this is what happened anyway, why not go to Ogwen for the first time in a while and come back? You can take that much time.?"
"It's Ogwen..."
Originally, I thought of this visit to the empire as a vacation... but it was true that I was mentally exhausted because I had been so busy amidst the swirling events..
Looking back, I couldn't understand how so much had happened in such a short period of time, so when I started to be attracted to Asilier's proposal, Ragnis, who had finished the conversation with the Marquis of Vendée, ordered Lenisa to move the employees. Asilier led me and said,.
"First, go back and think about the situation. Since they're asking me to come here in such a hurry, I don't know what kind of problem could arise.?"
"Oh, my sister too. I didn't commit a crime, it's no different from doing something good, so what's the problem?."
Rather, wouldn't he be praised for creating a good opportunity for reconciliation with the empire??
Surprisingly, what greeted us after crossing the gate with such a relaxed mind and returning to the lovely capital of Itisel was a spear and a sword..
That spear knife, a cold weapon, is correct. As soon as we left the gate, at the end of the 30-strong window leaning towards us, the guy who seemed to be the leader opened his mouth without any time to be dumbfounded..
"Margrave Ragnis Lien da Levien. Currently, you are being charged with treason. We will be temporarily detained as of now, so please cooperate calmly.."
I looked at Ragnis, holding back the fact that I was really, really on the verge of being angry out loud, but she also seemed quite embarrassed as if this was a completely unexpected situation. Well, if this wasn't embarrassing, I'd probably be more embarrassed..
The good news was that Ragnis was not completely embarrassed..
"How dare you arrest me without a royal statement??"
"The charges against you were submitted and passed by the Ethisel Noble House. Itisel House of Nobles has the authority to temporarily secure the recruitment of nobles below the rank of marquis only on suspicion based on reasonable grounds and grounds.."
"Are you saying that I now have solid reasons and grounds to suspect the Noble House of treason??"
"At least the House of Nobles has decided that this is the case. The details will be discussed at the aristocratic trial that will be held tomorrow morning, so please respond calmly for now.."
I don't know much about how the laws of an aristocratic society work. In the end, all I could do was look at Ragnis' face again and decide whether this was a reasonable argument or foolish sophistry..
And, in a truly absurd and ridiculous way, Ragnis was unable to utter a rebuttal even though he was biting at this..
"The servants of Margrave Lévien may return home to the mansion. Since this is only temporary confinement, visits are possible, and any actions to provide convenience to your master are tolerated. However, do not forget that if you rebel against the decision of the House of Lords and interfere with her confinement, you will be subject to appropriate responsibility and punishment.."
huh? I am?
I kept looking at the captain because I wanted to know something, but he acted as if he didn't even know I was there and only trapped Ragnis. Ragnis also felt puzzled by that attitude and tilted his head, but he seemed to keep his mouth shut for fear of scratching it and causing a rash..
If Ragnis is suspected of treason, wouldn't I, who was most active in the empire, be a strong ally? But you don't even touch me?
This is why I hate politics. As an ignorant person, I have no idea what he is thinking and moving about..
"Eldmia. First, go to Cheryl and find out about this situation.."
Ragnis, who left a clear request to me, looked me straight in the eyes and shook his head slightly, as if his goal was to prevent me from going crazy..
"Lenisa. Come with me, check the temporary detention area, and then put word into the Ogatorv family.."
"...yes. All right."
And he didn't forget to give an order to Renisa, who was gritting her teeth and opening her four hundred eyes as if she was about to pull out her sword. Her appearance, which I had never seen before, was clearly determined for life, and even if Ragnis' command had been a little late, it seemed like she would have swung her sword to cut off the captain's neck..
Fortunately, Ragnis's brakes worked, so there was a lull for now, but I thought it was unknown what would happen in the long term, so I left them behind as they retreated and returned to the Ogatorf family as quickly as possible with Asilier..
Please, I hope someone knows how this shit situation came about..
