Even without me telling them, Jill and his people had already noticed that my homeland—the Schuld Kingdom, was making a move.
Today, they became suspicious that the baron had not heeded the castle’s summons, and sent a messenger to check. What the messenger saw was the baron who had lost his mind.
I didn’t examine him directly, but as far as I could tell from what I had heard, it should be the sequelae of memory-manipulation magic.
The bigger the portion of memories erased, the more it would affect the person’s mind and body. Even in the past called the Great Magic Age, it was used with great caution. If used in today’s age where each individual’s magic power had decreased, it wasn’t strange that it could cause a person’s mind to collapse. With the gradual decline of magic power now, there was nothing more formidable than such magic.
“I’ve decided to call her tomorrow.”
“You want to ask her if she had anything to do with the raid?”
“No. With the current situation, we’re at a disadvantage and trying to investigate would only bring trouble to ourselves. We don’t know how many spies have infiltrated the empire, but that’s something every country does. His Majesty’s idea is to get her to leave the empire as soon as possible.”
“…… You’re right. There’s no knowing what could happen when my sister is around. I’m still stuck on the woman that lured out the gatekeeper right before the raid on the institute. From the very beginning I actually had a suspicion—if she was calm, would she come to a place that would let herself be seen…?”
“It’s a risk to accuse her of anything, especially not until we have a little more evidence and a clearer picture of why she really came to this empire.”

Being once again treated like this was way too embarrassing, but even if I acted mean Jill would see through me anyway.
So I knew it would be better for me to just be honest, but it was still difficult for me to act spoiled straightforwardly.
“H, hey! Don’t touch me below the waist, or I’m gonna hit you…”
“What if my hand slipped? You’ll still be mad?”
No matter how your hands slip there’s no way they’d go to my butt. Or do your hands ‘slip’ with the women at the castle too?”
“Ouch, ouch.”
“You can only touch mine……!”
“Heh. I’ve never wanted to embrace anyone but you.”
“……”
I released his cheek from my clutches, and pressed my face against his chest. In this way, when I took a deep breath it was as if Jill’s sweet scent spread through my entire body, and just for this moment, my noisy mind quietened.
“I’m sorry, but it’ll be painful for you for a little bit longer. But I swear I will protect you, Lilius. Will you trust and follow me?”
“……I will. Isn’t that obvious? So don’t be too reckless.”
I wanted to ease the anxieties of the people I love.
I could only pray that the day when I could see their radiant smiles would come as soon as possible.
Yeah, kick the witch out! Without her it will be a little more difficult for the bad guys to do move forward with their plan, whatever plan that is.And I think Lilius’s ability to see the spirits might just play a role in all this.Thank you for the chapter!!!
Aww
