Volume 5 Chapter 46 Catherine Might Foam at the Mouth and Collapse if She Hears This
Freed by Julius──no, he had come out on his own──Randy walked along the darkening main street.
It seemed like there were a few watchers around, but the royal capital is also the territory of the dark side.
Perhaps out of caution, the watchers kept their distance.
Feeling the eyes of suspicion on him from afar, Randy walked absentmindedly.
A group that seemed to be allied with North.
They probably want to set up Marquis Waldner to be isolated in the kingdom.
Even if they manage to isolate him, what do they plan to do next?
(Thinking normally, they would swallow up an isolated Waldner to have a foothold for invading the kingdom.)
Randy thinks this because he believes that group is part of the Empire.
Julius had confirmed earlier through their conversation that the Empire was acting with some intent.
However, he couldn't agree that Julius's concerns and that group's plans matched perfectly.
(It still feels like just dots in the air.)
There might be some connections, but he still lacks enough pieces to piece it all together.
That's the current situation.
"Ah, if it were Sir Cedric, he might know something."
Randy muttered without thinking, but on further reflection, Liz was supposed to come pick him up tomorrow.
He thought maybe they could exchange information then and pushed the mysterious plan to the back of his mind.
In the end, with the knowledge he had of the surrounding area, there were limits to what he could think.
Besides, thinking while hungry makes it even harder to think clearly.
"I can't think clearly on an empty stomach."
As Randy muttered, a delicious smell teased his nose.
He had just reached the street lined with restaurants next to the main street.
At this point, his thoughts were completely filled with 'the mysterious organization and dinner tonight.'
"Well then, for my last night alone──"
Drawn by the smell, Randy was about to head toward the food street when he felt a presence and turned his gaze back to the main road.
There, he saw Cecilia's carriage, just turning from the main road toward the noble district.
It seemed Luke had noticed him too.
From the window, Luke was waving at Randy.
Randy raised his hand in response, and the carriage slowly came to a stop at the side of the street.
As Randy ran over to the carriage, Luke and Cecilia stepped out.
"Where've you been?"
"Just went to the Cathedral."
Randy gave a wry smile and added, "Had a rough time," to which Luke also grinned bitterly and said, "Me too."
The 3 of them exchanged information for a while...
"The Sword Saint..."
"And the former 4th prince, huh?"
Both of them made bitter faces and glanced at each other.
"Sir Randolph, aren't you a bit too beloved by trouble?"
Cecilia's wry smile prompted Randy to snort, "The Sword Saint's Luke's problem."
"But she came here to see you first."
From Luke's sighing perspective, even the Sword Saint, Livia, had originally come to see Randy, so it was his fault.
"That's just their own business."
Randy winced at the jab, but there was nothing he could do about others showing up on their own.
Still, when he tried to argue...
"That's why you're beloved by trouble."
Cecilia shrugged and repeated her words, bringing the conversation to a dead end.
With a heavy sigh, Randy changed the subject, "Anyway──"
"From what I've heard, that woman Livia seems different from the others."
"Right. The others were just keeping watch, but Livia was saving face for that guy Julius."
Luke continued, recalling the words Livia had spoken when she sheathed her sword.
──It would disgrace Sir Julius's name.
"A former prince who's got a violent woman attached to him."
"And with you, who will be loved by that prince..."
Randy let out a disgusting look on Luke's tsukkomi, who looked bad, and asked him to stop.
"Well, whatever, I'm going to be careful in the North too. Come on even now──"
Luke turned his gaze to the feeling of a distance and laughed with a bad look on his face, saying,
"You're so popular. Even though it's a pain...it's the best"
Cecilia tilted her head and said, "Are you okay?"
"No problem. They're like flies"
Randy sniffs, but Cecilia utters another concern, saying,
"Not so. And I wonder if Liza and others will come to pick you up tomorrow?"
"That's not a problem either. It's a temporary thing"
Randy talks about how they are being monitored by Julius, and Randy is only wary just in case.
If he stays quiet all day today, even the far-reaching surveillance will surely return to their work.
In fact, since Randy left Cathedral, the number of monitoring has been reduced slightly.
If they still don't disappear until tomorrow morning, another big man in full-body tights will appear in the capital at dawn.
...Randy is taking that 'moji*ji suit' without throwing away, so it's a secret from Luke.
He actually like it a little.
Cecilia, who doesn't know what Randy is thinking, took a glimpse of Luke.
Luke is probably a passing thing, but Randy seems to have nodded silently.
