ded to accept Amelie and Nassam’s offer after they had been in contact with him for so long.
He was introduced to his co-conspirators, the Carruzan Town Guard Higgs and the Doctor Mulgy, both deeply in debt like Kaspar was, and the three of them enacted House Nassam’s plan to the letter.

First, the three of them kill Nikolaus and destroy the evidence.
Higgs, a town guard, is the first to rush to the scene of Nikolaus’ murder.
After that, Mulgi forges documents declaring his cause of death unknown when it has clearly been a murder.
Then, everything should be fine.

And yet, for some reason, the old maid Annette remained at the mansion on the day of Nikolaus’s murder.
When she should have been gone long ago from the mansion, she noticed the noises in Nikolaus’ room and went to see how she was doing.
There, she runs into his three murderers.

Annette tries to escape but is quickly caught and threatened to help clean up the room if she doesn’t want to be killed.
So Annette reluctantly helped clean up the evidence but these three couldn’t let her loose in the end.
So, she was killed alongside Nikolaus with her body disposed of so that it would never be found.

There was another eyewitness at this time.
It wasn’t only Annette who hadn’t left that day, but also the young maid, Hannah.
The two of them stayed at the mansion until a little late, and the two separated, Hannah went home, and Annette headed to report to Nikolaus.
However, Hannah also noticed the noise, also went to Nikolaus’ room and happened to be another eyewitness.

Kaspar also thought it would be better to kill Hannah as well, as Annette was still there and she witnessed the crime scene.
However, Hannah ran away immediately after seeing that Nikolaus and Annette had both been killed.
After going to the royal capital immediately after, Kaspar tried to search for her but gave up and bet that she had seen nothing.

After that, Hannah didn’t know that Kaspar and the others were coming to the royal capital, thought it would be dangerous to stay in Carruzan, and ended up coming right where the criminals were planing to hide.
Luckily, however, she never met Kaspar.
The odds of them were very low, with Kaspar mostly staying in Manor Nassam in the capital and the usual haunts of the upper class, while Hannah hung around only in the downtown area and the slums.

And Hannah, who hadn’t met Kaspar and the others for several years, was discovered by Flora the other day and told her everything she had witnessed.

“”

“Now then!?” Kaspar yelled.
“Does it matter now that you know about it!? Who do you think is going to be believed, an adult allied with Amelie and House Nassam or you, a stubborn child who doesn’t have any proper friends? Even if you tell someone about it, no one will believe you! You have no choice but to become mine!”

“Kyaa…! No-ooo!” Alexandra screamed.

Kaspar stood up and forced himself on Alexandra sitting on the opposite sofa.
He forcefully pushes her and holds her down.

“Oops… if I tear up your dress, there will be trouble at the wedding announcement after this.
Kukuku…! If I could have, I’d rip your dress to shreds, but I’ll give you a break.
Now, let’s have some fun for now. Hihihih…!”

And when Kaspar was about to extend his filthy hands to the trapped Alexandra beneath him…

“Don’t you dare touch my Alexandra with your disgusting hands!”

“Huh… gupyah…!” Kaspar blubbered.

He could not understand what had happened.
However, in an instant, he was blown towards the wall and crashed into it, then lost consciousness on impact.

The moment Kaspar was about to touch Alexandra’s chest, Flora reached the limit of her patience, launched herself at Kaspar, and punched him in the face, sending him flying.

But maybe it was luck.
If he had been conscious, he would have been writhing around from the intense pain of the crushed bones of his face.
Luckily, he’s fainted from the shock of colliding with the wall, so he feels no pain from the broken nose or shattered jaw.

“Fuuh… Fuuh… Haaah…!” Flora gasped.

And then… when Flora was about to chase after Kaspar after he was unconscious and lodged half-upright into the wall, someone grabbed her fist and stopped her.

“Don’t do it, Flora dear.
A normal person would die if you hit him with this kind of power, you know? This guy is a bastard who is worse than garbage, but you can’t just kill him here.”

“… Mother.”

When Alexandra was assaulted, Flora forgot herself and almost killed Kaspar.
If Maria didn’t stop Flora, she would have finished him off with the next blow.
You could say he was on the brink of death already….

“Sir… Lady Flora…!”

“Aah, Alexandra! Are you okay?” Flora asked.

As she pushed herself up, Alexandra was about to say “Sir Floto,” but stopped, then jumped into Flora’s chest while calling her “Lady Flora.” Flora hugged her back tightly.
Alexandra’s body trembled slightly.
Flora caressed her and then glared at the door she had just charged through.

“Now then… is there anything you would like to say? Second Queen Amelie? Or how about you, Duke Nassam?”

At the limit of her patience, Flora charged in and now she sees the figures of Queen Amelie and Duke Nassam beyond the door.
And so many others… the room is connected to this room and the next.
And there was quite the crowd in the adjacent room.

King Wilhelm and Chancellor Dietrich, as well as those who hold executive positions like top court officials and ministers, or the heads of influential dukedoms and marquisates, and Amelie and Duke Nassam.
Even Wilhelm is pressed for anything to say in front of so many witnesses.

“Fu, fufufu…” Amelie chuckled, fearless.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about! Do you really think I’ve committed a crime after taking such a criminal’s nonsense seriously? I’m a member of the royal family.
Don’t think you can get away with accusing me like that!”

After hearing Amelie’s resistance, Duke Nassam also opened his mouth.

“That’s right… it seems that this person tried to denigrate me and Queen Amelie, but what of it? There is no evidence that we were involved.
This is just some bizarre ramblings by a commoner who has no idea what he’s talking about.
You’re not trying to judge the Duke of Nassam with that level of evidence, are you?”

Convinced the evidence appeared to be little more than Kaspar’s insane ramblings, Duke Nassam stood with Queen Amelie.

“Haa… is that so…?” Flora asked.
“Are you insisting that there is no proof…? If you took responsibility yourself, your sentence would have been lighter… well then, I suppose I have no choice”

With the blood in her head slowly flowing back down, Flora glared at the masterminds.
