Chapter 42 Third Knight Order
Translator: Tseirp
Royal Fortress of Ashbury. North tower.
“You, come over right here.”
An individual known as the ‘Administration Supervisor’ handed over the paperwork associated to the conduct of the Marquis household to his subordinates.
“We will finish this now. The son’s conduct was fairly dangerous, too.”
“Sure. The incident on the night get together triggered an investigation, however we’re lucky to have the ability to be taught concerning the conduct of the Marquis and his son.”
The Administration Supervisor made a bitter face.
“Why doesn’t the Marquis perceive that his actions solely convey concerning the anger of the commoners and antipathy towards the the Aristocracy? Despite the fact that he’s so succesful at work.”
“His son additionally has quite a lot of issues. Not solely does he go playing, however he additionally owes cash to underground folks. And it’s a ridiculous amount of cash. I’m wondering if the son was used as if he had inherited his mother or father’s place.”
The supervisor listened whereas twisting the glass pen along with his fingertips.
“Most likely that’s why he’s playing. I assume they made him win large by dishonest at first. Despite the fact that the son is succesful at his job too. Why are each the son and mother or father like that?”
It’s the peak of stupidity for a nobleman to purchase the antipathy of commoners. What number of royal households do you assume disappeared after the folks’s anger piled up?
“So you continue to haven’t discovered that red-haired lady?”
“Sure. Irrespective of how a lot I look into it, the person solely attacked him out of a private grudge, so it’s unclear what the intentions have been in serving to him escape from jail. That’s why we are able to’t slender down the scope of the search and it’s exhausting to search out him.”
“I see.”
“Maybe somebody with a grudge towards the Marquis saved him. Additionally, we are able to’t discover his sister’s whereabouts. There are testimonies from neighbors that she was mentally exhausted, so within the worst case, she is probably not alive anymore. It’s additionally doable that she’s together with her brother, however there are nonetheless no clues.”
The supervisor stopped his finger on the desk.
“I see. Okay. That man did have leeway for his extenuating circumstances. Nonetheless, the place the place the crime was dedicated was the problem.”
“Sure.”
The division supervised by the supervisor is assigned to the northern tower, which receives much less daylight than the royal fortress. There was a distance from the glamorous departments such because the International Affairs Division, the Inner Affairs Division, and the Finance Division.
There are three departments within the north constructing.
The ‘Restore Division’ occupied the second ground, the ‘Data Administration Division’ occupied the third ground, and the ‘Establishment Upkeep and Administration Division’ occupied the fourth ground.
Nonetheless, the three departments have been really one, and people who knew of its existence solely by rumor known as it the ‘Third Knight Order’. Not the official identify.
The id of the Third Knights Order is top-secret, and the quantity of people that know the true id may be counted with one hand. Even the ministers are usually not knowledgeable of the small print. They solely know there may be such a company.
The top of the Third Knight Order is the Prime Minister, however the one who really runs it’s the supervisor of the ‘Establishment Upkeep and Administration Division’.
Whereas the heads of different departments are known as ministers, the pinnacle of the ‘Establishment Upkeep and Administration Division’ known as the ‘Administration Supervisor’ or ‘Supervisor’, and is considered by the general public as a head of division that’s coldly handled by different departments.
The present Administration Supervisor is a real civilian who was chosen for this place on account of his readability of thoughts, excessive moral requirements, sharp perception, and character that doesn’t trigger bother with anybody.
Due to his ability in socializing, the primary prince says, ‘If there’s one thing you need to learn about social circles, it’s quickest to ask the Supervisor’. He was in all probability critical, not joking.
And his perception is so good that the Prime Minister calls it ‘creepy’.
The particular person himself says, ‘It’s a pitiful division the place all of the troublesome miscellaneous affairs are pressured onto it’, however regardless of complaining, he works enthusiastically.
Again to the current, when there have been no folks round, the person took out an envelope with ‘Restricted’ written on it from a locked drawer and took out three paperwork from inside.
One was the investigative report on Victoria Sellars, which His Majesty ordered to analyze, the opposite was the report on the mysterious lady on the night get together, and the final was the report on the jailbreak.
“They’re all younger girls, huh… and all of it occurred after she entered the nation.”
The person rubbed his shiny silver hair combined with grey and let loose a sigh.
Victoria Sellers is harmless, if experiences from the Kingdom of Randall are to be believed. However the report on Victoria Sellers contradicts what he is aware of personally.
Victoria Sellers’ mother and father, who’re listed as ‘lacking’ within the investigative report, are stated to have died in a hearth. If there was a ‘hearth’ and their dying have been confirmed, even when there was a mistake, it was unlikely that they are going to be listed as ‘lacking’.
Concerning horses, it appeared that she stated, ‘I realized from my navy brother’, however the ‘actual’ Victoria Sellers doesn’t have an older brother.
“You’ve let your guard down, Victoria.”
The supervisor seemed on the doc with a troubled face.
And yet another factor. His instinct means that the red-haired lady who helped the person escape from jail was Victoria Sellers. However there was no proof in any respect.
Even so, assuming that these three circumstances have been all carried out by Victoria, why did she come to this nation? And why did she do one thing that doesn’t profit her, like breaking out a dying row inmate?
“I need to ask her immediately.”
He instructed his cousin’s husband, Depend Anderson, “If Clark’s language abilities aren’t bettering, how about hiring Victoria as a language instructor? Till uncle’s harm heals, her revenue will lower and will probably be tough for her”. As a result of he needed to maintain her as seen as doable.
He likes Victoria. She is a good benefactor who pulled his brother out of the jail of his thoughts. He needs to help Jeffrey and Victoria’s relationship if he can. However there have been too many unclear issues.
Possibly she’s operating away from one thing. Relying on the rationale, he needs to guard her, however on the identical time, relying on the rationale, he should hand her over to the nation.
If she’s responsible of one thing, he needs to keep away from a state of affairs the place nations combat due to a single foreigner.
“Hmmm,” Edward Asher determined, after groaning, (I cannot inform the Prime Minister my speculations simply but).
Till now, he typically expressed his ideas to the Prime Minister and His Majesty, saying, “Please hold this chance in thoughts.”
“However that Prime Minister is an impatient man. He may say, ‘Make an acceptable cause to deport them.’”
When he thought of it, he ran his fingers by way of his hair from entrance to again.
Then he put the three paperwork again into the unique envelope, positioned it in a drawer, and locked it. Despite the fact that he knew such a tiny lock didn’t matter to the folks there, if there’s a lock, he’d lock it. That’s his nature.
So he known as one other subordinate this time.
“What occurred to Mr. Miles’ report? Oh, I see. It’s going properly. Then go away him alone. Good job.”
How a lot does his brother know? On the very least, he ought to have realized that she’s not only a commoner.
(I hope Jeff doesn’t act prematurely.)
And, for a second, his face modified to the apprehensive face of a brother, apprehensive for his youthful brother who was too sort and too earnest.
Victoria continued to nurse Nonna.
Nonna appeared to have caught a chilly. She had a excessive fever and a nasty cough.
She was sleeping with a brilliant crimson face and panting. She had no urge for food and solely takes just a few sips of water or diluted fruit water. I remembered what Eva instructed me concerning the widespread chilly up to now and was nearly swallowed by a darkish creativeness.
(It’s okay. Nonna has bodily power.)
I saved telling myself that, however it was the primary time I’d ever taken care of a sick baby. I had no concept if she’s going to worsen or if she’s going to recuperate. I positioned a cool material soaked in chilly water and wrung out on her heat brow, or change her garments if she was sweating. I used to be anxious as a result of that was all I may do.
“I’m sorry, Vicky.”
“Why are you apologizing? There’s no must apologize, Nonna. It could possibly’t be helped that you just’re sick. Sleep properly with the intention to recuperate rapidly.”
“Sure.”
The fever and cough have been persistent. However after concerning the fifth day, her fever subsided and he or she confirmed an urge for food. The moist cough and raspy respiration have been nonetheless current however have been turning into calmer.
“Nonna, it appears to be like such as you’ve overwhelmed your sickness.”
“I’m not in ache anymore.”
“Actually? That’s good. Later, when you’re hungry, eat properly and sleep and also you’ll be fantastic.”
“I need to eat apple pie.”
“Please wait slightly longer. We don’t need to upset your abdomen.”
Ten days after the fever, Nonna had fully recovered.
(Nevertheless it’s nonetheless unattainable to journey by horse)
Victoria determined.
