“And so, it seems that she’s hiding in Topageria at the moment.”
“I see… I heard that soldiers were sent into the academy to catch the Heroine. I also heard that she escaped though.”
I didn’t know the circumstances behind it because they were concealing it though.
“Royce-sama asked for the Topagerian King’s cooperation… or rather, it was more like saying ‘because the Heroine comes from Topageria, take some responsibility’.”
“Speaking of which, the Heroine was adopted by Topageria’s Cintron family, wasn’t she.”
“You know about it?”
“A little… When I entered the academy, I was curious about each character, so I did a little research. It was just their official history though.”
Thinking that it wouldn’t do if I by some small chance fell into the same disaster as the in-game Beatrix, I roughly researched all the characters of the game. On the surface, there didn’t seem to be a problem.
However, with the Heroine and her complicated background, I’m regretting not researching further.
“Once we settle the chaos in our country, we plan on capturing the Heroine and the remnants of the extremists.”
Miss Camille’s gaze pierced right through me.
“And so… if possible, I’d like it if you cooperated too, Beatrix. I do feel sorry for asking for a favour on top of getting you wrapped up into this though.”
“Now that I’ve become His Highness Royce’s fiancée, it certainly isn’t another person’s problem anymore, huh…”
I placed my hand to my brow. Things have really become troublesome.
“This is about your engagement, Beatrix, but I’m wondering if it isn’t also somehow related. Only Royce-sama and Achille know the details though.”
“…”
Because Miss Camille’s specialty is magic, it seems that she’s estranged from the details of diplomacy.
Or rather, she’s just tossed it to them wholesale and left it all to them.
It seems… that I’ll need to speak to His Highness Royce one-on-one.
If possible, I don’t want to get involved, but this time it can’t be helped.
His Highness and Achille… I need to make clear their motives.
Being used and having my life swung left and right without me knowing is something that I’m long sick of.
Unlike Camille, there’s no way that I can just trust them completely.
