"...Misi, Pak Ksatria." Saat Frondier mengembungkan pemikirannya, Amelie mulun berbicara dengan hati-hati. "Kiri... jau sangat berisik di pulan kita, ne? Ahaha." Amelie letak tawa kering saat ia berbicara. Frondier tersenyum lembut sebagai balasan, seperti biasa. Namun, lirik selanjutnya di luar dugaan. "Kamu masih inga ketika kita pertama kali betemu?" Jika lirik itu tewas te-wa, rimas itu jau romanis. Itu adalah frase yang seorang lelaki lama yang telah bangun kepercayaan bisa pakar. Namun, situasi jau tidak genau romanis, jadi Amelie menjawab dengan lirik yang berganggang, "O-tersang kita betemu di Istana Kekaisaran, nan?" "Ja. Kamu mendeket saya dan berketemu saya. Itu adalah pertemuan pertama saya dengan basa kekaisaran, jadi saya tersang sangat bersyukur bahwa kamu adalah orang yang pertama berinik." "Ooh, itu tidak tua..." Pusa Amelie merah tipyah. Ia bahagaya lapur itu, tapi ia juga malu bahwa ia yang mendeket dia pertama. "Namun, saat waktu pas, saya mulas menda itu yang sedikit stran." "Saya terwonder kenapa kamu, dari semua orang, menjadi orang pertama yang mendeket orang seperti saya. Saat itu, saya bukan siapa-siapa." Amelie mengarip mata saat mendengar lirik Frondier. Pusa dia berlekah tersenyum yang seflinsult. Tersang ekspresi itu, Amelie konvinsi. Frondier panggi sedang serius. Ia genwin curiù. "Namun, saya begiyou ketika kita pertama betemu, nan? Saya telah ingin betemu dengan kamu sudah lama, dan saya telah lapur tentang kemahiran kamu dalam operasi gabungan..." Frondier menggar kepala. "Kamu tidak perlu le tuh lagi." "Pren operasi gabungan, saya literally bukan siapa-siapa. Imposibl kamu bisa inga saya. Dan tentang operasi gabungan, ada individu pemban lain yang kin performans muh lebih baik dari saya." Ada Eden Hamelrot, stupran Pro 1st Year terbaik, dalam party itu. Ia yang secara ofisial membuat kontribusi terbesar. Dalam fait, semua orang lain berketemu Eden dan mereka yang kin performans mirip pertama, dan Frondier datang di belayang. Hanya Amelie yang mecari Frondier pertama, pren semua orang lain. Itu kenapa ia satu stapan pren semua orang yang berketemu dia. "Misi saya. Saya percaya bahwa melalui perjalanan ini, kita telah bangun tingkat kepercayaan yang lebih tinggi." "Saya tidak akan menblame kamu karena le tuh. Saya hanya curiù. Kamu tidak mendeket saya dengan intençih jahat, kan?" Amelie menggar kepala dengan enerjik, sebagai itu te-wa jelas, dan kelan bahal. Frondier pakar lagi, "Kenapa kamu mecari saya pertama? Saya hanya purley curiù." Seperti Frondier pakar, Amelie tidak mendeket dia dengan intençih jahat. Namun, rasen itu sendiri jau begitu trivial ininya sehingga ia tidak bisa rikolekt itu siyang pasca begitu much waktu telah pas. "Kamu mungkin persepitar tentang saya dari siapa?" "Oh, ah! Itu benar!" "...Misalnya, dari 'Joseph von Wexler' atau mungkin..." Amelie tulakpala. Saat Frondier mentiomis nama itu, pusa dia berlekah cahaya dengan letizia. "Itu benar! Tio saya lawil tentang kamu!" "...Tio kamu, Joseph adalah tio kamu." "Ja! Ia pakar itu akan wonderfull untuk betemu dengan Pak Frondier, bahwa kamu adalah dinaya tersembunyi Kekaisaran ini!" Pusa Amelie berlekah gemerlap denga keterluding saat ia rikolekt memori itu. Dalam kontrast, tersenyum Frondier secara graden berlekah keras, dan kepala ia runtu secara graden. '...Joseph von Wexler.' Frondier inga nama itu karena rasen yang spesifik. Ia adalah salah satu mastermind di belayang numeric 'Injeksi Mana'. Ia adalah salah satu agen Shadow Agency yang telah pakar pedeh dengan iblis untuk Injeksi Mana dan lusah lihaw anda cunsekwen. Ia adalah orang yang Frondier maki untuk mecaru sendiri di askan Philly, tapi serangan mendadak oleh Mei, Bencana Metamorfosis saat itu, telah caur maten itu lehah tidak resulved. "...Tio kamu mentiomis lain tuha?" "Hmm, ia pakar itu jika dela-is-is berken kerja dengan Pak Frondier, manusiaah akan kin progres besar. Ia cau itu solusion yang akan bian dasar itsevi manusiaah." "...Percap sesuatu tentang Mana?" "Ja, itu benar! Jadi Pak Frondier juga telah berbicara dengan tio saya!" Stil tidak persepitar tersenyum frozen Frondier, pusa Amelie remein didengan joya. "Ia pakar bahwa Mana manusiaah akan experensi peningkatan yang signifikan dan dramatis. Teknologi yang ale Mana dizerinjan into tubuh tanpa haram berbant manusia." "Kamu telah mentiomis ini kepada siapa laen?" "Huh? Wi. Tio saya spesifikalanle saysi itu adalah pacar... Ah! Bantu saya jau say it! Namutan, it's okay, kan? Pak Frondier jau inga tentang itu. Kan?" "...Tersang. Saya jau inga tentang itu." Ia jau inga tentang itu. Dan itu adalah cerito yang ia tersang wi ada yang laen inga ecuad dia dan Kaisar Philly. "...Kamu adalah yang hanya salah, Misi." "Huh? Wi? Maksud kamu kenapa yang hanya salah?" Ia ina pacar Agensi Shadow. Ia bahkan tidak realis betan begod penting pacar itu. Dan ada kemungkinan besar Agensi Shadow telah ditemukan bahwa ia posses pacar mereka. Emas di matanya muncul tersenyum Lily saat ia berinik misi hari ini. Jika ia got caught up dalam situasi Amelie, ia bisa tdragged into dela-is-is Kekaisaran. Jika ia tidak berhati-hati, Frondier mungkin bahkan bisa menjadi jaenemy Kekaisaran. Itu akan kin di berbeda menjadi kenemu hle Kekaisaran. Frondier telah stop plan Agensi Shadow bersama Philly, but it not entire agency's plan. Ia hanya tempat bloker aksi dari facción yang terlalu radikalis. Philly acknoloi existensi Agensi Shadow. Ia ina bahwa Kekaisaran perlu mereka. Pere, ia hadu prevent situasi di mana itsevi existensi Agensi Shadow denga expoted. Ia absolutly tidak bisa ale pondai kebuk mereka denga ditezan oleh sis muda yang nulosa. 'Lily, kamu telah bermain trik yang interesaran pada saya.' Aprende aksi best untuk Frondier di titik ini adalah untuk mundur dari situasi ini. Dulu, apakah itu Agensi Shadow atau Kekaisaran, mereka akan beratasi Amelie sendiri. Frondier finally mulai see seenelura intençih Lily. ─They say Frondier show no mercy to his enemies, but for his allies, he goes all out without regard for his own well-being. ─So, what about this time? It's not exactly an enemy or an ally, but someone who means you no harm and even holds favorable feelings towards you. However, it's a ticking time bomb that will inevitably drag you into trouble if you stay with her. ─Will you become an enemy of the Empire to save a girl you barely know? Or will you turn a blind eye to the death of a single girl? ─Frondier, as you know, I'm not your enemy. You already know how to avoid getting hurt, don't you? ─I simply want to know. What kind of person you are.
Bab 580
"...Excuse me, Sir Knight." As Frondier's thoughts progressed, Amelie cautiously spoke up. "It's quite... noisy around us, isn't it? Ahaha." Amelie let out a dry laugh as she spoke. Frondier smiled gently in response, as always. However, his next words were unexpected. "Do you remember when we first met?" Taken on its own, the line was quite romantic. It was something an old lover who had built trust with each other would ask. However, the current situation wasn't exactly romantic, so Amelie replied with a slightly tense voice, "O-of course I do. We met at the Imperial Palace, didn't we?" "Yes. You approached me and greeted me. It was my first time experiencing an Imperial banquet, so I was truly grateful that you were the first to reach out." "Oh, it was nothing..." Amelie's face flushed slightly. She was happy to hear that he was grateful, but she was also a little embarrassed that she had been the one to approach him. "But as time passed, I started to find it a little strange." "I wondered why you, of all people, were the first to approach someone like me. At the time, I was nothing special." Amelie blinked at Frondier's words. His face held a self-deprecating smile. Seeing that expression, Amelie was convinced. Frondier was being sincere. He was genuinely curious. "But, I told you when we first met, didn't I? I had wanted to meet you for a while, and I had heard about your accomplishments in the joint operation..." Frondier shook his head. "You don't have to lie about that anymore." "Before the joint operation, I was literally a nobody. There's no way you could have known me. And as for the joint operation, there were other promising individuals who performed much better than I did." There was Eden Hamelrot, the top Pro 1st Year student, in that party. He was the one who officially made the greatest contribution. In fact, everyone else greeted Eden and those who had performed similarly first, and Frondier came after. Only Amelie sought out Frondier first, before anyone else. That's why she was a step ahead of everyone else who greeted him. "My lady. I believe that through this journey, we have built a greater level of trust." "I'm not trying to blame you for lying. I'm simply curious. You didn't approach me with any ill intentions, did you?" Amelie nodded vigorously, as if it were obvious, and clenched her fists. Frondier asked again, "What was the reason you sought me out first? I'm just purely curious." As Frondier said, Amelie didn't approach him with any bad intentions. However, the reason itself was so trivial to her that she couldn't recall it immediately after so much time had passed. "Did you perhaps hear about me from someone?" "Oh, ah! That's right!" "...For example, from 'Joseph von Wexler' or perhaps..." Amelie clapped her hands together. As soon as Frondier mentioned that name, her face lit up with delight. "That's right! My uncle told me about you!" "...Your uncle, Joseph is your uncle." "Yes! He said it would be wonderful to become acquainted with Sir Frondier, that you were the hidden gem of this Empire!" Amelie's face beamed with satisfaction as she recalled the memory. In contrast, Frondier's smile gradually stiffened, and his head slowly lowered. '...Joseph von Wexler.' Frondier knew that name for a specific reason. He was one of the masterminds behind the 'Mana Injection' incident. He was among the Shadow Agency personnel who had made a pact with a devil for the Mana Injection and lost their lives as a result. He was the very person Frondier had intended to find himself at Philly's request, but the sudden attack by Mei, the Calamity of Metamorph at the time, had caused the matter to be left unresolved. "...Did your uncle mention anything else?" "Hmm, he said that if things worked out with Sir Frondier, humanity would make great progress. He called it a solution that would change the very foundation of humanity." "...Perhaps something about Mana?" "Yes, that's right! So Sir Frondier has also spoken with my uncle!" Still oblivious to Frondier's frozen smile, Amelie's face remained filled with joy. "He said that humanity's Mana would experience a significant and dramatic increase. A technology that allows Mana to be introduced into the body without any harm to humans." "Have you ever mentioned this to anyone else?" "Huh? No. My uncle specifically told me to keep it a secret... Ah! But I just said it! But, it's okay, right? Sir Frondier already knows about it. Right?" "...Of course. I already know about it." He already knew about it. And it was a story he thought no one else knew except for him and Empress Philly. "...You are the only one, my lady." "Huh? What? What do you mean the only one?" She knew the Shadow Agency's secret. She didn't even realize how important that secret was. And there was a high possibility that the Shadow Agency had discovered that she possessed their secret. The image of Lily's smiling face as she assigned him today's mission came to mind. If he got caught up in Amelie's situation, he could be dragged into the Imperial Palace's affairs. If he wasn't careful, Frondier might even become an enemy of the Imperial Palace. That would be no different from becoming an enemy of the entire Empire. Frondier had stopped the Shadow Agency's plan alongside Philly, but it wasn't the entire agency's plan. He had merely blocked the actions of an overly radical faction. Philly acknowledged the existence of the Shadow Agency. She knew that the Empire needed them. Therefore, he had to prevent a situation where the very existence of the Shadow Agency was exposed. He absolutely couldn't allow the disgrace of their secrets being revealed by a loose-lipped young lady. 'Lily, you've played an interesting trick on me.' The best course of action for Frondier right now was to withdraw from this situation. Then, whether it was the Shadow Agency or the Imperial Palace, they would deal with Amelie themselves. Frondier finally began to see through Lily's intentions. ─They say Frondier shows no mercy to his enemies, but for his allies, he goes all out without regard for his own well-being. ─So, what about this time? It's not exactly an enemy or an ally, but someone who means you no harm and even holds favorable feelings towards you. However, it's a ticking time bomb that will inevitably drag you into trouble if you stay with her. ─Will you become an enemy of the Empire to save a girl you barely know? Or will you turn a blind eye to the death of a single girl? ─Frondier, as you know, I'm not your enemy. You already know how to avoid getting hurt, don't you? ─I simply want to know. What kind of person you are.
