On the other hand, Luna, who became the target of public criticism, smiled wryly and raised her hands, showing an attitude of no resistance.

"Rexia, please try to settle them."

"It's so troublesome, why don't we just kill them?"

"Are you an idiot?"

"Why are you scolding me!"

Unexpectedly, Ms. Rexia would propose a solution that uses violence to control violence, Luna complained to her with an expression of disbelief.

"Mr. Owen! What Miss Rexia said is true, Luna is her bodyguard now, she is no longer a threat!"

"Do you think I would naively believe this statement? If becoming the princess' bodyguard is an assassin's plan, then Princess Lexia is in danger."

"Woo..."

The question raised by Mr. Owen is very reasonable, and I am speechless.Although it is embarrassing to say this, I think Mr. Owen, who is a regular guard, is right.

Luna sighed as I racked my brains to figure out how to convince Mr. Owen.

"Hey...it's normal that I can't gain your trust, but if I really want to kill Lexia, I can do it yesterday...because we just shared the same bed yesterday."

"...Princess Lexia?"

"How? Yesterday we spent the night at Lord Youye's residence, what's so strange about sleeping together?"

"...Your Excellency You Ye?"

"sorry."

I have nothing to say other than to apologize.I'm really sorry.

Mr. Owen seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the faces of me, Miss Rexia, and Luna in turn, he also sighed and put his sword back into its sheath.

"Hey... Although I still can't fully trust you, I won't face you with swords for now."

"Team, Captain!? Are you sure!?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Judging from her first attack skill, she is indeed capable of killing the princess while she is sleeping with Princess Lexia. The reason why she didn't do it may be because there are excellent Your Excellency Ye is here, it may also be because she has really changed from a killer to a guard as Princess Lexia said...In any case, we have no way to make a judgment right now."

"You really like to worry about trivial things. Luna is my bodyguard now, so don't think so much and be happy! Don't look at her like this, she is a skilled killer!?"

"The words 'don't look at her like this' are superfluous."

Mr. Owen, who had completely released his attacking stance, showed a helpless expression, glanced at Miss Lexia, and immediately looked at Luna seriously with a straight face.

"...Anyway, I'll just trust Princess Lexia's statement and treat you as a bodyguard. Now, can you please explain who commissioned you to assassinate Princess Lexia?"

"Hmph, all right."

Perhaps because she had completely let go of her vigilance against the Dark Guild, Luna explained the contents of the commission she had received in full detail.

"Having said that, those who send commissions to the Dark Guild usually hide their true identities. However, I am sure that the client this time is a nobleman of the kingdom. And the purpose of the other party is suspected to be to curry favor with the First Prince."

"What did you say!?"

"How is it possible...why..."

I'm an outsider, and I don't know anything about the affairs of this country, so I can't say anything, but Rexia-san, who has always been innocent and childish, rarely shows a shocked expression.

The first prince...Huh?Isn't it Miss Rexia's older brother or younger brother?However... the situation of the royal family seems to be very complicated in general, maybe it is different from the ordinary brothers and sisters I know...

"However, it is purely my speculation that the other party wants to please the first prince. Although the topic of the first prince is often discussed in the underground society, that matter has not been confirmed."

"What does that matter refer to?"

"Huh? Of course it's about the First Prince's resentment towards the First Princess...that is, the matter of Rexia you."

"..."

Knowing from Luna that she might become the object of sibling resentment, Miss Rexia's expression became very stiff.

Knight seemed to be worried about Miss Rexia, and dawdled at her feet.

Rexia-san, who noticed Nate, picked it up like this.

"Ah... Nate, Nate."

"Wow...Wow."

"……thanks."

Although unable to communicate with words, Miss Rexia could still feel that Knight was worried about her, and smiled gently at it.

"... Closer to home, although the content of the commission I received was to assassinate Lexia... But Yu Ye was also mentioned in the commissioned information."

"Huh!? Me!?"

I thought I had nothing to do with this matter, so when Luna suddenly mentioned my name, I couldn't help but flustered.

"That's right. However, the intelligence did not clearly understand the existence of You Ye, but vaguely pointed out that there might be someone in the [Great Demon Realm]."

"Even so, why is my information..."

Hearing me say that, Luna looked dumbfounded for some reason.

"You Ye, before me, Rexia was attacked by assassins once. The previous batch of assassins also looked like senior veterans, but Rexia fled to the [Great Demon Realm] at that time. And those veterans committed My mistake was to follow her into the [Great Demon Realm], and in the end, as expected, none of the assassins who were sent to assassinate Lexia came back alive—yes, the only survivor was Lexia.”

"what……"

"Have you noticed? If the killers were killed by monsters, wouldn't it be strange that only Rexia was safe and sound. It is impossible for ordinary people to be able to hide in the [Great Demon Realm]... Ahhh, You Ye and Knight It’s another matter. Rexia is a normal person through and through.”

"Are you implying in a roundabout way that I am not ordinary?"

"...Only Rexia saved her life, but all the seasoned assassins died. The only conceivable possibility is that someone rescued Rexia."

I was ignored.

"The target of the assassination is the princess, so the killers will definitely draw up a plan carefully before taking action, and at that time Owen and other guards were separated from Lexia, so it is natural to wonder if there is a third person coming out Spoiler. Of course, monsters may be the ones who spoiled the situation... However, this brings us back to the first question. In that case, it is impossible for Rexia to survive alone. After all, the whole group of experienced assassins They all died."

"No..."

After listening to Luna's explanation, Mr. Owen pondered in a low voice.I myself have an urge to hug my head and moan.

The group of killers that Luna mentioned should be the group of people I saw when I met Miss Rexia for the first time.

At that time, there was indeed a pile of bloody corpses around General Goblin, but I don't know how it got there.According to Luna, those are probably...
