“Indeed. It will be you.” (Monica)
“!? Go… go…” (Kaspar)
Monica, who had been waiting behind, stabbed a dagger knife into Kaspar’s throat. As long as she could predict where he would appear beforehand, with Monica’s ability, taking him down was no trouble at all.
Being conceited just because you had the skill of teleportation magic… that was your downfall.
“Now then… still breathing, huh.” (Harold)
“Hyu… hyu…” (Kaspar)
Kaspar, whose throat had been pierced with a hole, leaked breath. He would probably die soon, but before that, there was something I wanted to ask.
“Hey. Earlier, you said ‘I have already prepared a replacement’, but who is taking that role?” (Harold)
Since he came here to dispose of me, as he said, there must be a substitute for me in the royal capital… Perhaps they planned to bring in someone like Owen as a hidden child, but that would be pushing it. If that were the case, then they would have to use an existing royal as a disposable pawn, but…
“Hurry up and answer.” (Alexandra)
“Gyabuuhh!?” (Kaspar)
Xandra, with her crimson eyes shining, stomped hard on his solar plexus, causing blood and air to gush out from his throat and mouth.
When Xandra has Dragon’s Favor activated, she is utterly merciless.
“…I… I… did not… lose to the… outlaws of Dehau… balz… I lost… to Nors… people…” (Kaspar)
“? What are you saying?” (Harold)
Ignoring my question, Kaspar muttered incomprehensible words.
No, no, that’s not what I asked… wait.
“Your Highness Harold, it seems he has breathed his last.” (Monica)
“Eh… geez…” (Harold)
In the end, without answering anything, he just went and died on his own.
However…
“What did he mean by ‘lost to the People of Nors’?” (Harold)
“Who knows…” (Xandra)
“I do not understand.” (Monica)
We looked at each other and tilted our heads.
Does this mean that Kaspar was betrayed by his allies…?
“Well, whatever. At any rate, there seems to be a substitute for me, so let’s go back to the royal capital and see what kind of person they are.” (Harold)
“Indeed. The impudent one trying to take Haru-sama’s place shall be crushed to bits by this ‘Balmung.'” (Monica)
“I shall gouge out their eyes and slice off their nose and ears.” (Xandra)
…They’re saying terrifying things, but I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it.

“Muu…! To think that a spy has infiltrated the Chevalier Household once again…!” (Duke Chevalier)
After returning to the royal capital and reporting about Margo and Sara, Duke Chevalier widened his threadlike eyes in rage and slammed his fist on the desk. The force was so strong that, despite looking quite sturdy, the desk easily broke apart.
“Barry! What is the meaning of this!” (Duke Chevalier)
“Ha… my… my deepest apologies…” (Barry)
Barry, the Chevalier Household’s head butler and Monica’s father, performed a flawless dogeza on the floor, continuously apologizing.
I know Monica is skilled, but from what I see, her father Barry doesn’t seem like a particularly capable spy…
“Haa… But now, I cannot trust a single person, be they a spy or even a servant…” (Duke Chevalier)
Perhaps having vented his anger enough, Duke Chevalier sat down on his chair, sighing deeply.
“W-what should we do…? Should we re-investigate everyone’s background, or perhaps dismiss everyone…?” (Barry)
“Do not be foolish! Even if we investigated them, the result would be the same! And dismiss everyone? That is obviously impossible!” (Duke Chevalier)
“M-my apologies!” (Barry)
This was the second time such an incident had occurred, so he was probably shaken, but still, this head steward seems rather unreliable.
“So then, Your Highness Harold… Were Margo and Sara truly agents of the kingdom?” (Duke Chevalier)
“Yes, without a doubt. However, the other man was the butler of the House of Margrave Stone.” (Harold)
“Muu…!” (Duke Chevalier)
Hearing my response, Duke Chevalier groaned.
It seemed that, even for him, dealing with the kingdom as the opponent was troublesome.
“…To think that House is involved once again…” (Duke Chevalier)
“Eh…?” (Harold)
At Duke Chevalier’s unexpected words, I unintentionally let out a dumbfounded voice.
“The first time… in other words, Monica’s mother was also a spy of the House of Margrave Stone.” (Duke Chevalier)
“!?!” (Harold/Alexandra/Monica)
Xandra, Monica, and I all gasped.
But… could Kaspar’s last words—‘lost to the People of Nors’—have been referring to Monica…?
“…Of course, while she is the daughter of a Stone Household spy, Monica is first and foremost the heir to the Ashton Household. I have no intention of doing anything to you…” (Duke Chevalier)
“That goes without saying. More importantly, Monica is my exclusive maid.” (Harold)
“!? Th-that is true…” (Duke Chevalier)
Before Duke Chevalier could finish his sentence, I clearly stated in a low voice.
I will not hand over Monica to anyone. Not even Duke Chevalier. If he intended to do something to her, I would show no mercy.
“In any case, since the affairs of the Chevalier Household were completely exposed to the kingdom, we must absolutely find the rat.” (Duke Chevalier)
“Y-yes!” (Barry)
Pressing his forehead to the floor once again, Barry followed Duke Chevalier’s orders and quickly left the room.
“Well then, shall we head back? Duke Chevalier, thank you for your time.” (Harold)
“Y-yes. If anything happens, feel free to come anytime.” (Duke Chevalier)
“Thank you.” (Harold)
Leaving the Chevalier estate, we did not return to the dormitory… but instead headed for the royal palace.
Why, you ask? Of course, to see the so-called substitute for myself.
