sassin woman, shook her head in response to my question.

I knew it wouldn’t be easy, Fumu.

“At the very least, we know she’s not from the Carolin empire.”

“Can you explain why?”

“Yes.
If you are an assassin from that country, there’s a mark that will always be engraved on your body.”

“Huh?”

According to Hanna, a dark-pact exists in the Carolin Empire to have a small tattoo on a part of the body to avoid friction between them.

That is the depth of the darkness in this great country.

Anyway, let’s summon the military police and have them conduct a thorough background investigation.
It would be preferable if we could determine whether this is the hand of the second prince’s or the first queen’s faction.”

“…Once again, this is a long shot.”

“Well…”

Hanna and I exchanged nods.

So

“Um… Are you done?”

Liz and Nora, who were standing outside the cafe, inquired timidly.

“Yes… The military police will handle the rest.
Please call them Nora.”

“Yes!”

After some time, some military police arrived with Nora.

“Your Highness Dietrich, is it true that you were attacked?!”

“Yes—this is the assassin.”

The military police gulped as they examined the assassin who had been poisoned.

“But it’s a different kind of assassin, so I’d appreciate it if you investigated it another way.”

“Ha!”

We’ll leave the rest to the military police.

“Shall we then continue our stroll?”

“No.
Let us return to Her Excellency Metzelder’s residence today.”

Liz responded strongly to my suggestion.

The other two nod and look at me with serious expressions.

“But even though we’ve come all the way, you’re not having fun.”

“What are you on about?! —Dee-sama has endangered himself!”

“W-Well…”

Liz’s depressing appearance made me flinch.

“Dee-sama—We are happiest when we can smile alongside you.
Please keep that in mind…!”

I’m speechless in front of Liz, whose amber eyes are welling up with tears.

…I’m not sure if there are any other words that could make me happier.

I’m a fortunate man.

“I understand.
I’m sorry for being shallow, you three.”

“P-Please stop!… Dee-sama is a really nice person who is quick to admit and accept his mistakes.”

Liz hugged me as I bowed deeply and smiled brightly.
