On the outskirts of Queen Backlund, Red Rose Manor.
A carriage with curtains on the windows and conspicuous logos carved on the side of the carriage quickly passed around the corner, and then slowly stopped in front of the gate of the manor.
A bright gas lamp was hung on the door decorated with iron flower patterns. The dazzling light illuminated the whole body of the carriage, causing the two tall horses in front to neigh and stomp.
Looking along the bright yellow light, one can see a straight sword pointing vertically downward, with a red crown adorning the hilt of the sword, which is extremely luxurious.
The sword of judgment!
This is the symbol of the Loen royal family!

Having received the news early, the old man waiting at the gate of the manor waved, and several servants in dark red uniforms came forward to greet him. They opened the side door of the carriage with standard movements and good manners.
The light above the door shines into the carriage. The thick brown and yellow carpet in the carriage, the wooden cabinets storing red wine, white wine, champagne, Ronzi, and Helander, and the crystal-polished quilts, silent reflections
With a faint light.
Suddenly, a dark figure broke the quiet beauty. Klein, who had been "invited" by Mr. Aigron, followed his lead and walked out of the carriage together.
Klein, who was vaguely aware of the most luxurious car he had ever seen in his life, or in all his life, was looking at the style of the entire manor, nodding his head.
There was a sound of soft footsteps. When he heard the sound, he looked over and saw an upright-looking waiter standing by quietly, holding a silver plate in his hands.
"Mr. Moriarty, please give the weapon to the waiter first, and we will keep it for you." Wearing a pair of white thread gloves, with a few silver hairs on his temples, and deep nasolabial folds on his face,
The old gentleman with light brown eyes that were so serious that there was almost no trace of a smile said in a deep voice.
A standard butler of a great noble... Klein nodded after hearing the sound and glanced away, then very obediently tied off the gun belt he had hidden under his double-breasted coat, and handed it over without hesitation.
The chain-blade cane that he always held tightly.
As for being clever, do you think no one can spot this inconspicuous weapon?
Just kidding, even if he is really in danger, Klein's way of counterattack or self-defense is never to draw his weapon directly, but to quickly recite the honorable name of Ambrosius!
After the previous "live broadcast", he had figured out that the angel from the "apprentice" path was very good at teleportation and teleportation, and seemed to have many ways to attack.
He turned his head and saw that the professional and rigorous butler did not express any reaction to his handing over the chain-blade cane. He still maintained the most dignified demeanor and nodded calmly.
The waiter who served the plate withdrew.
This old butler should also be an extraordinary person, and he is definitely very powerful... Klein, who silently turned on his spiritual vision, looked at the middle-aged and elderly gentleman standing upright in front of him, and secretly shook his head.
Mr. Aigron, who handed over his weapons and identity documents, also left the other waiter who was holding a silver plate. The expression on his face was still cold, and the golden vertical pupils in his eyes were cold and ruthless.
He seemed to be frowning all the time, looking around without even looking at Klein, and said to the butler beside him:
"When are you going to see His Highness the Prince?"
The butler, who had a solemn expression and seemed to contain powerful power in his body, moved slightly and spoke clearly:
"That's all right now. His Royal Highness is already waiting in the study."
After saying that, he turned around, and the servants on the side stepped aside respectfully, leaving only a path for the three of them to walk, and continued their work.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, they moved quickly through the huge garden. The three figures looked very small among the intricate bushes and vast grass.
Aigron, who has been staying near Backlund Bridge all year round, observed the surroundings of the manor, his frown getting tighter and tighter.
"Where are the guards here? I didn't see the proper guards at the gate of the manor just now."
"This is the master's wish. In order to show his sincerity, the master specially mobilized the guards today and asked them to patrol the nearby forest." The faster butler answered Aigron's question fluently, as if he had already
Very well prepared.
Although the answer was a bit difficult to understand, Aigron only frowned when he heard that the prince made the decision himself, but did not say anything, and his pace gradually accelerated.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the mansion located in the center of the manor. From the bright lighting here, they could even see the golf course diagonally behind the mansion.
Because they were led by the housekeeper, the group of them entered the main house very easily without any obstruction.
Looking at everything low-key and luxurious in front of him, Klein, who originally had a lot of questions in his mind, unexpectedly turned off the engine at this moment.
His brown eyes looked numbly at the surrounding decorations, and the light in his eyes extinguished little by little.
It wasn't until they arrived at a room under the leadership of the housekeeper. After watching the housekeeper knock on the door and then open the door, Klein's gradually emptied thoughts immediately came back.
Prince Edsac, the fifth child of His Majesty King Luen, Earl Rustin, a true heir to the throne.
Seeing his very similar face to that of Henry Augustus I on the five-pound note, Klein felt his eyes light up.
But he still restrained his gaze, and together with Mr. Aigron beside him, he paid a deep salute to this noble prince.
With a round face and a pair of narrow eyes, his expression was not serious at all, and he even always showed a smile. His Highness Edsac nodded, with a smile on his energetic face, and looked at Egger who was standing on the far left.
Long, with a mellow voice:
"I'm very grateful for your efforts, Major Colosson. I'm very grateful that you are still willing to help me after retiring from the military."
Mr. Aiglon or Major Colosson, his eyes at this time were no longer cold gold, but had returned to their original deep blue. He bowed humbly and said seriously:
"This is what I should do, Your Highness."
"If it weren't for your help, I would never have been able to clear my identity as a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society. It was you who was willing to recommend me to the military, and even after I was injured, you offered to quit the front line on my behalf and switch to informant intelligence work.
I will always remember this request and this kindness.”
His voice was extremely low when he spoke, and his lowered head bent his entire body almost to ninety degrees.
The relatively easy-going Edsac couldn't help but shook his head and waved his hands gently when he saw his friend's serious look. After seeing Mr. Aiglon finally stand up straight, he turned his eyes and looked at Xia Xia who was maintaining his posture.
Klein, who looked like Locke Moriarty, asked softly in surprise:
"Are you Master Moriarty, the gentleman who accepted Fusac's spy commission?"
He actually knew that I accepted Mr. Zerrell's commission?
This prince has a certain amount of real power... Klein nodded slightly, then sighed slowly and said honestly:
"Yes, Your Highness, I did accept Detective Zerrell's commission."
After hearing the affirmative answer, the prince seemed to have thought of something. He paced back and forth a few times, then faced the bookshelf filled with books and continued to ask:
"I heard that you just killed a Sequence Five who was in poor condition, and when you were working with the spy before, you also escaped the pursuit of a 'Rose Bishop'?"
"Bishop Rose", MI9 did indeed investigate the scene, and yes, I did not deal with Mr. Zerrell's spirit at that time. They should have arrived shortly after I left... According to the information in the prince's words,
After deducing that he had passed by MI9, Klein felt lucky for a moment. His plain ice-blue eyes suddenly dodge, and then he slowly turned his gaze back and said "candidly" without any reservation:
"Yes, I did kill a Sequence Five just now, but that was just good luck. In fact, even for the 'Rose Bishop', it was only after Detective Zerrell consumed most of her energy that I barely escaped.
of."
"My level is not high. I just have some life-saving skills and am proficient in firearms and weapons."
Klein looked at His Highness the Prince sincerely, and tentatively said with some embarrassment:
"Your Highness, I don't understand. These seem to be good resumes in the eyes of others, but to you, these are insignificant. Why do you care about a little person like me?"
"I don't know what an honor it is to be able to come to this beautiful manor today."
As he spoke, Klein gradually entered the state, and his voice began to become deep and emotional.
Mr. Aigron, who was standing aside, couldn't help but glance sideways when he heard such a voice. After noticing that the old butler on Klein's right had no reaction, he looked away slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
He is a "dream walker", how could he not be able to tell whether emotions are true or false?
It's just that this bounty hunter who has always been unwilling to show his true attitude is telling the truth now, so he didn't bother His Highness and exposed it directly.
Edsac, who had been listening silently, frowned rarely after hearing Klein's question, and suddenly let out an imperceptible wry smile, still staring at the tall bookshelf.
He was silent for a while, and then unexpectedly patiently explained the reason why he invited Klein.
"I am not my father. I can only use my connections to get some information, but this does not mean that I can use some power at will to do what I want to do."
"Although I can disturb Major Corosun, he also has his own tasks and is not always available."
Hearing this almost explicit hint, Klein, who was already feeling a bit of a headache due to his empty spirituality, was suddenly shocked. He followed the guidance of his spirituality and cheered up, trying his best to reveal a trace of surprise on his expression, using a suppressed excitement.
In a low tone, he said:
"Has Your Highness been troubled by something recently?"
"Yes." Edsac, who was facing the crowd, slowly turned around without any intention of keeping it secret. The expression on his face was a little strange, "I recently need some people to buy some extraordinary materials for me, as well as more precious materials.
