Strange Disease and Treatment
"Do you, the Empire, underestimate us, Shelma!"
Shelma Kingdom
In the royal castle, an angry voice echoes in the audience hall.
The girl and the knights who were bombarded with that scream didn't change their expressions.
In contrast, our king, Samarielle Baldres Shelma III, is holding his eyes.
"King! Do you intend to be treated by the empire that sends such a young girl on an errand!"
Several aristocrats claim this.
"What authority do we have that you have to trample on our land?"
"King! This is a clear act of aggression by the Empire!"
"You should arrest those vile knights and that little girl immediately!"
"Guards! Guards!"
At their word, a large number of guards appeared in the throne room.
"Arrest these people..."
That's what the king ordered
"…Eh?"
The guards surround the screaming nobles.
"W-Why? King!"
"Is this okay, Yukikaze-dono?"
"Yeah, I didn't think they would really come together, but it was a happy miscalculation."
The other nobles immediately understood from the interaction between the two.
"What?"
"King! Are you planning to sell your homeland to the empire!"
"How deplorable that a king would sell his country!"
The only people who don't know are the captured nobles.
"I don't want to hear the voices of these guys, so hurry up and take them away."
"Ha!"
Following the king's orders, the guards lead them out of the throne room.
When the sound of the door closing subsides, there is a moment of silence.
"……Haaaaaa…"
The king's loud sigh broke the silence.
"…Now, do the people here understand what all the idiots from earlier have in common?"
There's no one here right now who doesn't understand that.
The people who were taken were the former rulers of the Marquis of Sordalene, and
"Minister"
"Ha!"
The minister next to the king reads out the letter.
"The large-scale mob that broke out in the Kingdom of Dezefa was immediately put down. To repay the debt they received for helping solve the problem, we received a response saying that they will do their best to solve their country's problems."
At the end of summer, many people in the Kingdom of Dezefa went crazy and turned into a mob.
However, it was quickly quelled by medicines sent by the Empire.
"Yukikaze-dono, what is that medicine?"
The king asks the girl
It's like a question with familiarity, yet filled with respect and trust.
"It's still a secret. I can't tell you the truth yet. I don't know who's listening."
"I see. In that case, it can't be helped. How is the current distribution?"
"Distribution in Shelma, Marguerite, Boldoi, and 13 other countries has been completed. Smart countries that understand the situation are starting to appear, and we should be able to reach 20 countries by the end of this year."
It is a cure for a strange disease that is spreading across the southwestern continent.
One day they suddenly had a hallucination
A disease in which the illusion leads to a crime.
Its center is the Kimberley territory of the Dezefa Kingdom.
"Were those who were captured earlier also inspired by that hallucination and degraded the Marquis of Sordalene?"
While I was thinking about it, I let these words slip out of my mind.
"It doesn't matter."
The girl listened and answered the slightest murmur.
"They just tricked others for their own benefit, regardless of the strange disease. Well, it was the marquis and the king's plan to make them show their true nature."
"This is unavoidable bleeding to remove the parasite."
"Really? If that's the case, you must have bled a lot."
"…What does it mean?"
"Maybe Sordalene doesn’t want to return to being a marquis?"
"…………Doesnt want to return?"
"As your classmate, I'm sure you'll understand. Well, you two should talk about that. He'll probably be back next month."
And so the girl and the knights following her left the royal castle.
