Mathias’ face stiffened at Cain’s smile.
“You lot, lower your swords! W-well if it isn’t Count Silford… how come you’re here…?”
Mathias asked, his voice trembling, but Cain answered coldly.
“First off… an apology. I might be young, but I am the head of a noble family. It is rude and unbecoming of one to address the head of a noble family as ‘boy’, especially in front of other nobles. I can but use Lese-Majesty…”
Hearing that, Mathias turned to Corgino, his whole body trembling. However, Corgino had no choice but to nod, as Cain, while young, was indeed the head of a family of nobles.
Mathias knelt down and lowered his head.
“W-well… Count Silford… I am really sorry. Please forgive me…”
Cain dealt another mental blow to the bowing Mathias.
“That’s enough for me, but… Earlier, you called that noble’s daughter over there ‘young girl’ didn’t you? At least, that’s what I heard…”
“No… that was…”
“While she might not be the head of a noble family… she’s the sixth imperial princess of the Baisas Empire, Her Highness the Imperial Princess Liltana. You spoke abusive words to the Imperial Princess of our neighbouring country, did you not? Marquis Corgino.”
At Cain’s words, both Corgino and Mathias were shocked.
Liltana hated being high-profile, so when she had arrived in the Kingdom, the people who had welcomed her were only the king, Magna, and Eric, and other than them, only a few people knew what she looked like.
This was also Corgino’s first time seeing her.
“N-no way… she’s Her Highness the Imperial Princess…!?”
“N-no way…”
While the two were still in shock, Cain looked at Liltana, who nodded.
Then, from her pocket, she took out a gorgeous metal plate with the coat-of-arms of the Baisas Empire engraved upon it.
“I am the Baisas Empire’s sixth imperial princess, Liltana van Baisas. I have witnessed all of your doings here. I will also report directly to the king about how you kidnapped my… friend, Palma!”
Said Liltana with a strong tone of voice, making Mathias tremble even more.
“W-what!? What am I supposed to have done!? I have no recollection of such things…”
Cain and Liltana frowned at the smug Mathias.
“You kidnapped Palma and you know that very well! I have also seen the underground cells you have. I also know that there were a number of other children there.”
“Uggggh… Marquis Corgino…”
Mathias squeaked, looking at Corgino, but all he received in response were unexpected words.
“Mathias! You have sunk low enough to even do kidnapping!! I can’t believe it!! I knew nothing of this!!”
“Eh… what…”
Mathias had a surprised expression, as he was supposed to have found help there, but had instead been pushed away.
And at that moment.
The doors opened, and a large number of guards stormed in.
“We have information that a kidnapping is happening here!!”
The captain of the guards, who had gone in ahead said, his sword drawn, then froze at the strange sight that was taking place.
Mathias, the chairman of the company, kneeling in front of a boy and girl, bodyguards standing around and protecting someone who was most likely a noble, and adventurers lying on the ground.
Not one of the guards who had entered could comprehend the situation.
Then, Darmeshia appeared out of nowhere behind Cain, and whispered into his ear.
“I’ve called the guards.”
“Nice work, Darmeshia, thank you.”
Now knowing that it had been Darmeshia who had called the guards, Cain nodded, then opened his mouth.
“Good job, guard-sans. This company has been kidnapping people. The girl behind me is also one of their victims. We came to save her. There are other kidnapped children in the back. Please go check on them.”
The guard captain frowned. The people who had already been on the scene knew who Cain was, but the guards didn’t.
“You… These people lying on the ground… did you do this?”
“I did it. They pulled out their swords at me, after all.”
“Is that so… then… you’re the bodyguard of the noble’s daughter there…?”
While Liltana would be recognised as a noble’s daughter on first glance, Cain was wearing his adventurers clothes. The guards assumed he was her bodyguard.
“I am Count Cain von Silford Drintor. The one next to me would be an imperial princess of the Baisas Empire, Her Highness the Imperial Princess Liltana.”
“I’m Liltana van Baisas.”
At the two’s words, the guards all froze. Then, the guards who had understood went down on one knee.
The guards all sheathed their swords and knelt down on one knee, the guards’ captain, at the very front of them all, looked up.
“I’m terribly sorry for this. Your Highness the Imperial Princess, Count Silford… I still haven’t understood the situation yet. Could you please explain?”
“Ah, right. You know how a girl from the Sarakhan Company was kidnapped, right? Her Highness Liltana went to give a report, I believe.”
“Yes, I have heard about that. We guards were searching for her.”
Cain nodded and continued.
“That girl was being held in an underground prison by this company. Upon finding that out, I came over here. The Sarakhan company sells the products I create for me, after all… it’s only natural I’d look for her.”
“Count Silford, you yourself…?”
The guard captain couldn’t understand why Cain would search for her himself. The heads of noble families basically always only gave out orders, they themselves never moved.
He didn’t expect one of them to move by themselves, nor engage in combat.
“You find that strange…? I know, how about this?”
Cain took out his guild card, glinting a platinum-silver, from his pocket.
“I am still an S-Rank adventurer, after all.”
“Wh-!!”
Seeing the guild card Cain had taken out, Gelta, who had regained his consciousness, became speechless.
Gelta had been an adventurer for a long time, and had eventually risen to B-Rank. He himself knew best what hardships he’d faced.
He also knew about the power needed to become S-Rank…
Adventurers who exceeded A-Rank and were in the domain of S-Rank were all called ‘monsters’ by other adventurers.
Of course, the guards’ eyes also widened at seeing the colour of the guild card.
“Is that so… Understood. Then, everyone, please stay here while we go check. You lot, search the back of this place.”
At the guard captain’s orders, a number of guards went into the back.
Amongst the ones left, only one wanted to go home.
“I’m going home. As I have nothing to do with this.”
“I’m terribly sorry. Please wait here for a little bit…”
“No! Shut up! I am Marquis Corgino. I have nothing to do with this incident! I just came here. How rude of you!!”
Corgino left the building, ignoring the guard captain’s words.
“Cain… is this okay?”
Liltana worriedly asked Cain, but he simply nodded with a face that said they had no choice.
“…I can’t stop him in this situation. He’s a higher rank than me. And one of the country’s ministers. I can’t stop him without any proof.”
Liltana made a face that said it was regrettable.
“Buuut… if Mathias talks, it’s a whole different matter…”
Cain looked down at the kneeling Mathias and grinned.
His fat body trembling at that gaze, Mathias looked down at the floor, breaking out in a cold sweat.
TN: rip Mathias you won’t be remembered
