Chapter 6: Bertia (11 years old) (2)

“Yeah, since it’s about my precious fiancée, please take your time for the discussion” (Cecil)

“That’s right, since it’s an important discussion, It might even take the whole night for the discussion” (Douglas)6

“That might be right.. do your best….”(Cecil)

………… mainly for marchionnese nochesse though.

Thinking of it, that happens about 1 year ago.

In the end, he would still come to see me, to speak fondly about her wife and to whine about miss bertia, but I still pass my days peacefully.

By the way sometimes, miss bertia would also come to see me to whine about [My father just wouldn’t get corrupted!!].

………… this pair of nochesse, they really don’t care about my position do they.

I’m not your house’s personal consultation room you know?

Leaving talks about the past, now I should first care about miss bertia that’s infront of me.

“That document was really well made, the illustration was lovely too” (Cecil)

“That’s not really such a great thing to be praised as such.”(Bertia

Saying that, her face reddens. She really can’t hide her feeling.

“I even think that you should make use of that talent and create one for the tourist guide book for the capital…… By the way is the information inside the book all truth? Who did you get the information from?” (Cecil)

While smiling from ears to ears,I asked about the things that I’m most curious about. Since the book has no connection to leads to any source of it’s infomartion, there is no way to investigate except asking for her.

An information that is way too well made for a mere fantasize.

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

It’s just too wasteful to leave it as a mere source of reading if there is a real source of information as a base when she wrote this, no matter how interesting the content is.

It’s someone that could finally be caught after all, we should gather the evidence so that we could catch him

“The content is half truth, half speculation. There are some parts which I made use of my past memories to write, and some parts were from using the memories to create a collaborator to get me the source of materials.”(Bertia)

Leaving aside the first half of what she’s saying, the last part seems like she’s walking on a thin ice.

“heeh… Who do you get it from?”(Cecil)

To not fan her cautiousness I pasted my smiling face and asked in a gentle voice.7

“It’s viscount Raleigh . konsarvuth. He once came and visit father. At that time I remembered [This guy is one of the guy who pulled father into the dark path, and he’s also the guy who became my husband in one of the routes.]” (Bertia)

To be honest, There is some doubt in me that she wouldn’t tell me her source of information, but that’s just a needless worry.

She doesn’t have any ill intent when taking the information. That’s the reason why the perpetrator didn’t take extra precaution and tell her. But how did viscount konarvuth tell these things to a girl as loose lipped as…… I mean as adorable as her.

It can’t be seen as anything but suicidal. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

But well, she is still a child, whatever she said nobody would even take her seriously without proof.

Marquis nochesse didn’t even take her seriously

“There are lots of things that interest me… but can I first ask how did you befriend viscount konarvuth until he tell you all of these things?”(Bertia)

“Ara, It’s not just on the level of friendly you know? Since there is a route of me being his wife, she must have liked my appearance for a certain degree… then I just use the innocence of youth and try to fan him with an upturning eyes, And by no time he let me sit on his lap, gave me some snacks , and talked a lot of things.” (Bertia) 7

“…… so it’s honey trap” (Cecil)

“What are you talking about? I wont do something so immoral!”(Bertia)

“Hey miss bertia, Did you know that viscount Raleigh . konsarvuth is quite famous as a lolicon… I mean a pervert that has feelings of love to a child?”(Cecil)

“…….HUH?” (Bertia)

“Did you get touched by him?” (Cecil)

“now that you mention it, He did praise me that I’m like a doll, and he would hug me tightly, caress my feet, and to my chest he would………” (Bertia)

Miss bertia’s face ashen as time passes.

It seems she understand that she was involved in a dangerous situation.

“After that?”(Cecil)

“We would exchange letters, Recently, he wanted me to go meet with him unnoticed by father and mother………… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” (Bertia)

Talking about her own situation, she couldn’t take the fear anymore. She crouched while pressing her head with both hands.

I sat right beside her, caressing her shaking back and glanced at her maids. Her maids also has a pale face on them.

It seems like even the maid didn’t expect that she got into such a dangerous situation.

Although its famous in the rumour, at front, viscount Raleigh . konsarvuth is just a kid loving nice uncle.

I really wished they would notice that something is wrong by the amount of letters he sent, or maybe some of the letters were given to her by other people.

“No worries, I’ll do something about it. I’m not such an idiot that would let someone who touch my fiancée get away freely.”(Cecil)

“Your highness…”

Like a small critter that’s full of fear, as I caressed her back, she started sobbing.

“That’s why to protect you, can you tell me? Which other dangerous guy has made contact with you?” (Cecil)

“there is no one else. I didn’t have any chance to make contact with Earl conmorno and baron sagil who’s supposed to brainwash father. I thought that after making my social debut, I would let them meet my father.”

…… at this time I don’t even want to retort [why would you let your father meet all these bad guys?!]

At least I know the reason is not wanting the marquiss to catch them or asking them to not misuse their powers anymore.

“Miss bertia, would you please not do anything dangerous anymore?”(Cecil)

If there is no danger to her, I’ll probably just watch from the sidelines and just enjoy myself. But things progressing to this stage without me noticing is bad.

If it progressed to irreparable state, I wont be able to feel entertained and interested anymore

Its because she’s unharmed, doing something that wont bore any fruit…… Trying her best that I can observe her while having fun… watch over her.

“Of course your highness! I don’t want to be frightened again like this time. That’s why from now on, I’ll make contact while being careful!” (Bertia)

With tears falling from her eyes, with a shaking body, she made a fist

…… Why wouldn’t she gave up?

“No, I mean making contact is dangerous you know?”(Cecil)

“ No problem! After they made contact with father, I’ll run away right away!”(Bertia)

“That’s not the problem……” (Cecil)

“If I were to lose here, your bright future will be gone. I will do my best!” (Bertia)

“That’s why”(Cecil)

“Since that has been decided…” (Bertia)

“Can you don’t decide it?”( Cecil)

“Oh my god, no! it’s going to be the party soon, but my make up is in tatters!”(Bertia)

“…… did you listen to what I say?”(cecil)

“ Your highness, I’ll mend my make up and come back. I’ll make sure to come back before the appointed time, so please excuse me.” (Bertia)

“She really wasn’t listen to a single thing…… have a safe trip” (Cecil)

Picking up her dress, she took her maid away and left the room in a hurry.

……… now then what should I do

As expected I can’t leave this at it is.

“Your highness, what should we do?”(Zeno)

“hmm… that’s right, first would you immediately catch marquis Nochesse here?”( Cecil)

“Marquis Nochesse..?”(Zeno)

“Then, I’ll write a letter to father, after you take marquis Nochesse here, immediately and sneakily deliver that to father.”(Cecil)

“…… I understand” (Zeno)

“I’ll say this repeatedly but, its immediately and sneakily alright? Before she came back, I would like to finish all the preparation. This time because her contact seems to be moving troublesomely.”(Cecil)

“As you will. Immediately and sneakily it is.”(Zeno)

Zeno with a professional butler face made a bow and left the room.

Seeing that I started to write the letter for my father.

“If I make use of the current happenings wisely, wouldn’t I be able to eradicate all the poison that’s been corrupting this country?”

Following my instructions, marquis Nochesse would probably come her.

Since I need to finish writing it before he arrived, I didn’t include any formal greeting and went straight to the topic.

From a certain route, there is a rumour that earl conmorno,baron sagil, viscount had illegal dealings.

It seems they have plans to make contact with Marquis Nochesse.

I’ll be requesting marquis nochesse, to use that against them and try to make contact with them, and try to get the evidence.

More or less this is overstepping my bounds, but since we’re basically doing the same thing there should be no problem.

After putting it into an envelope a knock can be heard.

“Come in” (Cecil)

As soon as my sound was heard, marquis Nochesse hurriedly enter the room.

“Your highness, may I know what happened?”(Douglas)

Since my orders is to immediately bring him here, it seems he has some sort of unease.

“Zeno, take this to father. Marquis Nochesse I have some important thing to tell you, please have a seat there.” (Cecil)

Giving zeno the letter, I sat down facing marquis Nochesse.

“The thing is…”

After that I tell the same content that I wrote to father to marquis Nochesse. And at the end…

“Viscount konsarvuth seems to have already made contact with your daughter, miss bertia. Furthermore he seem to have done something improper to her…” (Cecil)

“What did you say?” (Douglas)

“Now is still at the stage of lightly toucher her body but…… from the rumor I heard, viscount konsarvuth is a pervert that has feelings of love towards children. I assume he’s making contact with her with that as motive.”(Cecil)

“Un–Unforgivable”(Douglas)

“Miss Bertia has confessed this to me earlier and she cried while shaking furiously. That’s why, if possible I don’t want to talk about any of this in front of her. I’m sure it will bring some painful memory to her” (Cecil)

“Bertia……”(Douglas)

“The people that may bring further harm to miss Bertia, if possible without her making any contact with them, in the near times…… to be dealt with by us. Of course I did write a letter to father so that he wouldn’t misunderstood. Will you cooperate with me?” (Cecil)

With a pained face, marquis Nochesse think about the feeling that miss bertia must have faced, His eyes then lit up by the flames of rage.

“As you will your highness. Those maggots will be squashed thoroughly by me, and I will cut them off personally.”

Grasping his fist, there was not even a single speck of doubt in his face.

It’s more like he’s more than happy to be able to participate.

“I don’t want to ask what you’ll be cutting off but…… thank you for cooperating. Since we have finished our talk before miss bertia came back could you please leave the room?” (Cecil) 8

“You’re right, if my daughter were to notice this, she would start worring and remembering all the pained things she went through.”(Douglas)

Nodding greatly to my words, with a frowned face, marquis Nochesse left the room.

For now the preparation was done.

In between the 3 people, there must be someone who’s participating the party, I hope there won’t be any problem.

I think before anything can happen count nochesse would just crush them though.

Even if he’s like that, he’s still the prime minister.

He wouldn’t lose himself with his private matters, and in a public place too.

…… probably.

“For a short while, it seems there’s a need for me to pay attention.”

I heaved a sigh and lay my back on the sofa.

What’s left is just the social debut.

I do feel a little bit tired, so I’ll take a rest until miss Bertia came back.

It seems like my fiancée (Toy) is getting a little bit too tomboyish recently.9
