The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 48: Inevitable Tragedy

Bernard was able to ruminate in his head several times at Ingrito's shocking words and finally understand it.

――Agnès has been taken away.

I'm shocked by the fact that it is highly likely that this will happen, despite my usual thoughts.

But it was not when he was upset like his sister-in-law. Immediately sit down on a chaise lounge and ask to explain the situation.

"I guess Agnes was making sweets with my kids all morning, and she was baked in the kitchen in the afternoon, too."

While baking the sweets, Ingrit's daughter, Mary, wanted to see the flowers in the garden.

"I was invited by Agnes and I went with me."

Beautiful flowers budded in the garden where signs of spring could be seen.

Marie, who was feeling cramped in the royal city, runs around like a garden in her hometown. The incident occurred shortly after Inglito tried to be careful because it was dangerous.

Suddenly, a black man jumped out of the bushes and caught Mary.

Apply a knife to the neck and order to come to Agnes.

"Mary was taken hostage and there was no way to do it ..."

Agnes went straight to the man who turned the knife at Marie without hesitation.

Another man is hiding and is quickly arrested and taken away.

"I'm sorry, because of us-"

Bernard shakes his head and denies. He checked Marie's safety and was relieved that she knew there was no injury.

Silence for a while. Each other has an awkward time.

Bernard first opened his mouth.

"... I have one question on my sister-in-law."

"What is it?"

"Do you remember how the criminal holds the knife?"

"-!"

Ingrit, looking back at the man pointing his knife, noticed an unusual event.

It was very mysterious.

"The culprit was holding the knife with the blade down. At that time, he was upset and didn't mind."

The criminal was pointing to Mary with the knife's back up.

Bernard hears that and drops his shoulder.

Take out the notebook from the pocket, write the letters and hand it over.

At a sentence written on the paper, Ingrit gasped.

――How to hold the knife is learned in the Knights.

"What is that ..."

If you use it with the knife blade up, attack power will increase.

In knight's discipline, learn how to hold it in such a way that it is not good to hurt the target more than necessary.

Bernard writes letters on the second piece of paper.

After all, this case is our responsibility.

Once I was seen by a knight being with Agnes.

It was a time of their reunion.

Agnies asked Bernard to go to the knight's guardhouse, hoping the knight would be dispatched. If information leaks, it comes from there.

"So my sister-in-law's progress isn't bad. This is what happened."

"Was it so"

It was her daughter who gave me a chance, even though she didn't mind.

Then, even myself who could not protect. I'm sorry and look down.

Meanwhile, Bernard wrote on his third piece of paper about his future actions. The paper tells you that your mother is sick and you leave early.

"Sister-in-law, go home first, because I have a little approach."

"Bernard ..."

Ingrit is a complicated thought.

When I looked at my brother-in-law's face, he had already looked like he was hungry.

You can see that Bernard is going to help Agnes.

At the same time, I wanted Agnies to help me right away, but at the same time, I didn't want her to be in danger.

"Hi, go alone?"

"No, I want to invite my friends (...)"

"so……"

If this happens, you can no longer stop.

Ingrit decides to look away while looking down.

"Be sure to come back together"

"Yes, be careful ..."

Thus, the two were once separated.

◇◇◇

Bernard goes to the office quickly.

The boss in the room quickly noticed the strangeness of his subordinate who had turned off his complexion.

"What's up with Orlerian?"

"Sister-in-law has just come and my mother has fallen ..."

"What did you say!?"

Ask if you can leave early.

My boss, Lazar, told me to return immediately.

Bernard was sorry to lie, looking at his boss who seemed worried.

I trust Lazar, but there are times when it should happen.

You do not know where you are being heard or where you are being monitored.

We have decided not to leak information as much as possible.

bow and jump out of the room.

Although he was cautious about his surroundings, he went ahead, but did not feel any sign of being left behind.

Go to the dressing room, change into plain clothes, and go out through the entrance dedicated to special forces where there is no guard knight.

I bought a cheap cloak at a clothing store on the way. Sell off your fine coat.

I bought a worn hat and covered it deeply.

Move from the carriage in the central area to the noble area.

The destination is one of the largest houses in a residential area.

The Marquis of Barthelemon. It was Ernest's home.

Bernard goes around the back gate and asks the gatekeeper to transfer to Ernest as a merchant.

Wait a few minutes.

Ernest came to the gate to pick you up.

In the beginning, he showed a suspicious expression to Bernard in disguise, but he noticed himself if he slightly shifted his hat.

"Orrelian!"

Obtain the mouth of Ernest like a large dog coming waving his tail and tell him to be quiet.

Speaking of guiding inside, he was willing to guide me to the house.

Passed between customers and served with freshly brewed tea and high-quality sweets.

I was offered them, but I wasn't in a very psychological situation.

Looking at Ernest's face, he was nervous.

The people involved in this case did not see it.

He thought it was OK.

There was no evidence, but I was convinced.

Ernest asks Bernard, who looks rugged.

"So what happened?"

"-Are you free?"

When Bernard asked, he nodded, saying, of course, that Ernest, who was only modest and had only studied remorse and practiced his sword, was of course.

"I need a little help"

"to me?"

"Ah"

Because I was relying on Bernard for the first time, I was so happy but happy.

I almost mumbled when I felt uncomfortable, but I put up with it.

"If I can do it, I will cooperate, but in this way she is modest and has limited behavior."

"Is it possible to go out?"

"In the capital city"

"Enough"

Ernest, who has corrected his habit, asks what to do.

Bernard clearly stated his wishes, not to say anything round.

"I want to use your home connection."
