The day after Zakharov was arrested, Cordelia was talking to Isma and another knight at the castle again. She had already briefly explained the situation the day before, but she was called again today because she had entered the Zakharov mansion.
They told her that they would visit the mansion if she couldnt go out because of the shock she had received, but she wanted to visit the Big Bookcase, so she went to the castle, since she didnt want to waste time.
Ive also examined the plant, but its just normal grass unless you dry the leaves and use it. He wanted to keep his money-making tree a secret.
Isma said, and Cordelia tilted her head a little.
He was so careful about that, but he looked down on me.
He might have been financially cornered. It seems like this was his last chance.
Cordelia indeed agreed with that.
Then, they talked for a while, and the other knight stood up from his chair.
Lets stop here. Ill go get some drinks.
After seeing the knight off, Isma slowly got up. He had loosened up a bit.
After he was arrested, he said in the interview I was threatened by a noble in the north to kidnap the girl, so I approached her to protect her because I thought she would be in danger. That noble pushed the narcotic plants onto me as advanced payment, so I didnt have them because I wanted them.
Cordelia was surprised when she had heard that because Zakharov wasnt in any position to say that.
Then, he didnt need to kidnap me to raise those narcotic plants.
Yeah. He shut his mouth once we pointed that out. But he only kept silent until father got there.
Otou-sama went to see him?
I dont know who called him, but when he felt fathers wrath, he quivered and confessed a lot of things. He said that he went to look for that noble in the north in search of narcotics and that noble asked him to kidnap the Dreamer Girl. But he also said he refused since it was impossible to kidnap the girl while avoiding the knights. There are still some inconsistencies, but he couldnt stand fathers pressure and fainted, so well be interviewing him again tomorrow. Hes of no importance compared to the things he did.
Ismas expression as he said that stated, he deserved it.
Catching that beast is a big deal. I think youll catch more attention in the castle than ever before, but dont worry about it too much.
Thank you very much.
Cordelia smiled wryly at what Isma had said.
Cordelias name spread to more people in the castle than ever before because of the incident.
A small group already knew about her because she had won the competition show, and the noble ladies knew about her through Vernouxs mother and her aunt, Countess Nirupama Weltoria, but that was only a small group of nobles. But rumours about Cordelia had quickly spread because she had just thwarted an Earls conspiracy. The rumours were a bit exaggerated, and some people even said that she was following her brother and father, and belonged to the military faction, but they have never said anything to her directly, so she hasnt been able to correct them.
However, no one would complain if she behaved appropriately, even if she was in the military faction.
She understood that fame could become ones power, and the importance of boasting about ones name and pride. Of course, her ultimate goal wasnt to chase after only that and clung to ones reputation like Zakharov did.
