得体の知れない女性に連れられて殿下たちから離れた路地裏を進む......無防備に前を歩く彼女に対して、背後から奇襲を掛けようとしますがその度にこちらに無温の視線を向けてくる。
「......どこまで行く気ですか?」
「んー、どこまでがいいですかねぇ?」
途中から殿下からお嬢様呼びに変えたものの、彼女の強烈な負の感情に当てられてミスを犯してしまいましたし、なによりも最初から王女だとわかって近づいてきたのでしょう......目的がわかりませんが殿下をお護りせねばなりません。
「......やはりジュラル殿下の差し金ですか?」
......第二王子の仕業ではないようですね。まぁ、いいです、このまま時間稼ぎに徹しますか。殿下ならばなにかを察してすぐに逃げてくださるでしょう。
「では、可能性は低いですがグィーラン殿下ですか?」
この女性の連れ二人が不確定要素ですが、漂わせる気配は清浄そのもの......彼女自身が二人から離れたことからむしろ殿下を助けてくれるのではないかと思うのですが......予め打ち合わせしているのは無いでしょう。秩序に属する者が王族とはいえ幼子を狙うなど考えられません。
「ではやはり......帝国の間者ですか」
「帝国? ......あぁ」
白々しい方ですね......いや、本当に大人しいと考えている? 無表情なため読みづらいですね。もし仮に、大人しいと思っているのならこれ以上の......殿下を攫う以上の事を企んでいると? そうであるならばただのメイドである私には荷が重いですね......。
「一応聞いておきます......目的はなんですか?」
「面白そうだからですかね?」
「真面目に答える気はないようですね」
「一応聞いておきますけど、協力はしなくていいんで邪魔はしないでくれませんか?」
「殿下を裏切るなどありえませんね」
ヨロヨロと不格好に立ち上がり、彼女から少し距離をとりながら強い意志を込めて睨み付ける。
「まだ何かするつもりで?」
遊ばれているのはわかっています、そうでなくともなぜか本気で殺しに来ていない時点で、何かがあるのだろうと思います......ですが、それでも......それを利用してでも殿下のために少しでも時間を稼ぎましょう。
「『身体強化・メイドの嗜み』」
「おや、メイドも使えるんですねぇ......」
That woman took me away from her highness and into a back alley. I tried to make a surprise attack against her back a few times as she walked, but each time she just turned around and gave me a warm gaze... It's impossible after all.
"... How far are you planning to go?" I asked her.
"I wonder how far would be good enough?" She answered vaguely.
To think that she not only had such negative emotions on her, but she also knew that her highness was the princess from the get-go... I have to protect her highness.
"Are you doing this because his highness Jural offered you money?" I asked her. Maybe I could try offering more to save her highness...
"Ju...?" She seemed confused, so it's probably not that... Well, then I suppose I should at least try buying some time. Maybe her highness will notice something is wrong and escape if I end up taking long.
"Then, as unlikely as it might be, could it be his highness Gillian's fault?" I asked her.
I wonder if this woman's companions would help her highness, they're wild factors to this matter. They might be able to help her now that they're separated, but not if they are unaware of this woman's true nature... However, I don't think they'd be willing to harm children, even if she is royalty. Hopefully that might be enough to save her.
"Then, could you be an agent of the Empire?" I asked her.
"Empire? Aah..." I wasn't sure what to take of this answer... But considering what happened to the frontier city, it shouldn't be hard for them to infiltrate the kingdom...
"I think so..." She answered... It's hard to read her, she's always so expressionless... And she doesn't talk much to boot. Still, she seems to be planning to at least kidnap her highness, this is a heavy burden for a maid, but I will have to stop you somehow.
"Then, why are you even doing this?" I asked her.
"Because it's interesting." She answered instantly.
"... I suppose I shouldn't have expected you to answer seriously." Although I guess this situation would be interested for the empire...
"Can you cooperate with me? Or at least not be a hindrance?" She asked directly.
"I cannot betray her highness." I answered.
"Don't underestimate her highness' maid!" I made a strong push against the wall, enough to make her let go of me and gain some distance.
"You still haven't given up yet?" She asked.
I giggled a bit before answering, "How about this?" I understood she was just playing around, that she wasn't really trying to kill me, but still... I need to make a stand here, to buy more time for her highness.
"<Body Enhancement: Maid's Manners>" I started.
"Oh, so maids can also use those..." She said something strange, but I ignored it and focused on the strengthening instead.
