"Ah, welcome, Madam!"

I was speechless at the sight of the Count of Acacia, who greeted me with such a confident and bright face.

The Count looked even better than before, when he was always stressed about Noebian.

Dressed simply, he seemed a little afraid of Roaldness before giving me his respects.

"I've been waiting since yesterday after receiving the message that you would visit."

"I guess I have something else to be surprised about."

As soon as I realized this wasn't a dream, I let out a sigh.

The Count, who had no idea I was Adrienne, tilted his head and scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"My face has gotten a little damaged from doing the work you ordered, Madam... Is it that surprising? Anyway, I was surprised to hear that you were visiting so suddenly. And to think that you would even kill the monsters like this..."

I just stared with wide eyes, not knowing what to say, when Roaldness immediately ordered Epero's group to enter the castle of the Acacia territory first.

A large number of people lined up and entered the castle gate, which was visible from a distance.

Only Roaldness, me, and Rossi remained in front of the gate.

****

Behind the castle walls, there were several pointed peaks of rock, as if to prove that it was adjacent to Elacon.

The Count of Acacia took us not inside the castle, but around the wall to a huge rock mountain.

The entrance to the stone mountain, covered in thorns, looked like it would be injured even if you just brushed against it, but when Roaldness hit it a few times with his scabbard, it shrunk back as if making way.

After walking along the path for a while, we came to a narrow cave entrance that was just big enough for a few people to enter, compared to the size of the mountain.

Several of the Count's guards and knights were guarding the place.

"Deep inside this small cave, a large amount of mana stone is buried. Since the path is so deep and maze-like, it takes quite a long time to manage it secretly with a small number of people."

"...Count. So, you've been alive all this time?"

It was a question I threw out after hesitating whether or not to tell the Count that I was not Blie.

It was because the Count was acting as if he knew I knew he was alive.

The Count looked puzzled at my question.

"Didn't Madam share her wisdom with me? That His Highness the Crown Prince or the Grand Duke would definitely kill me as soon as I became an obstacle."

"Me?"

"...Is this a new game, Madam?"

As we entered the narrow cave, holding the torch at the entrance, I had to exhaust myself explaining so that the old Count wouldn't be surprised.
