Chapter 214: Being Allowed into the Bath
Chapter 214: Being Allowed into the Bath
Once the maid withdrew and Lily and I were alone at last, we could finally talk about Maxim’s coup from earlier."Lily, about Maxim... that’s amazing."
"Do you mean that it was suppressed surprisingly quickly? Or that the Mainz Kingdom already knew about it?"
"Ah, sorry. The latter. As for the suppression, I thought that with Lord Richelieu there he would somehow manage it."
Even so, there had been a time in the past when I wondered whether I should return to the capital once.
"Yes. In addition, Her Majesty the Queen is also present."
At Lily’s words I thought "eh?" and said,
"Nn? Her Majesty the Queen? Is Her Majesty that amazing a person?"
"Yes, most certainly! The face Her Majesty shows Robby-sama is almost always a gentle smile like a mother looking at her child, yet from my sense it is the two of them — Richelieu and Her Majesty the Queen — who move the Marie Kingdom."
"Is that so!?"
"Yes!"
She asserted it. Yes.
Uuun... from my perspective Her Majesty looks only like a woman rather than a mother? The Her Majesty who took me in her mouth inside the carriage... if there had been more time I would have liked her to ride me as well... having her drink from both the upper and lower mouths — what a pity. No, no, no, I ended up thinking something improper. And Stevie, I’m sorry.
"Leaving Her Majesty aside, the fact that information reaches here from the capital in two days is a threat."
At my words Lily also nodded.
"Truly. I was also surprised."
"Even if I ran, I could not cover the distance from the capital to here in two days."
"Indeed. Even in the Mainz Kingdom, thinking common-sensically, I do not believe they are having a single person run all the way from the capital to here."
"Right. That means there is some relay point somewhere."
Even if there is a relay point, when people see someone hurrying so much along the highway they would all be surprised. Just how did they transport the information? Triplets at capital → relay point → checkpoint connected by telepathy? No, then the relay point would be unnecessary.
