■Alexandra of Chevalier’s Perspective
“Have you still not located Lord Hal?!”
Three days have passed since Lord Hal suddenly disappeared from his dormitory at the Royal Academy.
Not only the Dehauvalz Kingdom, but the entire Duke Chevalier family is searching for Lord Hal, but we haven’t found a single clue.
Knowing that person, I’m sure he’s safe, but…
“…Young Lady, I am sorry. If I can save Prince Harold, I will atone with my life immediately.”
“Stop joking during this emergency. More importantly, find even the smallest clue.”
“Yes…”
Monica is consumed by guilt over Lord Hal’s disappearance, and she keeps saying things like that whenever she opens her mouth.
It would be a lie to say that Monica, as his personal maid, is without fault, but even so, Lord Hal would surely be angry if he heard her words.
I really want Monica to realize that she herself is Lord Hal’s ‘Precious Thing’.
And, there’s one more person.
“This Lyra, a lifelong disgrace. In this case, I am prepared to be scrapped as oversized garbage on non-burnable garbage day.”
Lyra, the Mana Doll who is Lord Hal’s tool, seems to want to be punished just like Monica.
She’s even more troublesome than Monica, so I’ll just leave her alone.
“Themis, can’t you really find Lord Hal? At least give us a clue.”
“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I don’t have the ability as an administrator anymore! All I can do is deal with bugs and crackers!”
The moment I turned my gaze to her, Themis prostrated herself in her usual manner and said incomprehensible things.
Lord Hal would probably understand the meaning of her words, but unfortunately, all I could understand was that we can’t find that person.
Then.
“Lize… how was it?”
“No good. I’ve mobilized the Capetien Kingdom’s direct intelligence agency, but we can’t find him at all…”
Not only the Kingdom and the Chevalier family, but also Lize’s family, the Capetien Kingdom, and Christia-sama’s Barthian Holy Kingdom are helping in the search for Lord Hal.
Three countries are conducting the search. At least in the Western countries, there is no place for even a mouse to hide.
Even so… Lord Hal’s whereabouts are still unknown.
“Lord Hal…”
Is he eating properly?
Is he sleeping well at night?
Is he feeling lonely?
All I can think about is Lord Hal.
I clutched my chest and muttered the name of my beloved.
“Everyone!”
Christia-sama and Carla-sama burst into the room.
They were out of breath and seemed quite flustered…
“We’ve found Lord Hal’s location!”
“Eh!? R-Really!”
“Yes! That person is now fighting as a Sword Slave in the Romania Empire’s arena!”
“Romania Empire…”
The Romania Empire, located next to the Holy Kingdom.
Just when we thought he had suddenly disappeared, why is he so far away?
Moreover, he has been reduced to the status of a slave.
…No, that’s not what we should be thinking about now.
We must save Lord Hal as soon as possible.
“Monica!”
“Yes! Immediately to Prince Harold’s side!”
“W-Wait a minute!?”
I took Hanna and rushed out, leaving the three in the room.
◇
“Lord Hal… Lord Hal…!”
Monica and I, having left the Royal Academy dormitory… no, the Dehauvalz Kingdom, crossed the sea by ship and are now traversing the Capetien Kingdom towards the Romania Empire.
A carriage? If we were to ride in such a thing, we would never reach Lord Hal.
Therefore, we are running on our own feet.
“…Even so, to sneak past Monica’s surveillance and abduct Lord Hal, they must really want to die.”
“………………….”
Monica, unable to forgive her own failure, bit her lip regretfully.
From her perspective, it is an unbelievable blunder, but I don’t think so.
I know Monica’s abilities better than anyone, and it is impossible to outwit her.
However, the fact that someone has accomplished this means that they are either a person of unimaginable ability, or they have an unthinkable method… such as Ulysses, who possesses the ability of Spatial Movement, or some other special Blessing (Gift).
However, I confirmed with Themis that she herself created the Ulysses clan… which includes Monica, but there is no one else besides them who possesses the Blessing (Gift) of Spatial Movement.
Then, by what kind of Blessing (Gift) was my Lord Hal abducted?
“…Well, none of that matters now.”
Although the situation is not necessarily good, he is still alive.
I am now relieved by that fact, and I will erase those who did this from this world without leaving a single strand of hair.
Therefore.
“Lord Hal… please wait a little longer. This Alexandra of Chevalier will definitely save you.”
I gripped the hilt of the ‘God-Slaying Dragon Sword Balmung’ and accelerated further towards the Romania Empire, where Lord Hal is waiting.
–Making these eyes shine red.
