Chapter 5
So. Bored.
I looked over at Murata. He had his head down, his glasses beside his pretzel'd arms.
"White pigeon mail." We all looked up to see Gwendel letting in a white pigeon. We all watched him set him down on the table and unrolling the sliver of paper.
Y-"What does it say?"
G-"It's from Yozak. He says there's a civil war brewing in Big Simmaron what with there being no king." Right, Lanzil was used and then killed by the White Crows.
"There's no king right?"
G-"That's what I said."
"Then why doesn't Yuuri take it over? I know I don't understand the politics here, but won't it solve all your problems if the ruler was someone you trusted?" I licked my lips, unsure if I gave to much. Because Conrart for some reason is able to be King of Big Simmaron; I could feel him looking at me.
"Besides, if there's a civil war brewing, then I'm guessing there aren't a lot of others from the same blood line to take over; it has to be someone related to the royal family right? or…" Conrart isn't a nobleman, or an aristocrat so then-
G-"As you say, you know nothing of our politics." he gritted at me.
M-"There is some truth to what she said though, but I wonder if it could really be that easy,"
Y-"Are you expecting something bad?"
M-"Better to be prepared in case than to be unprepared. We know Lanzil killed his way to the throne-perhaps we should investigate if there really are others eligible for the throne."
Y-"Yeah! Just leave it Chief Detective Yuuri Shibuya!"
"Yeah!" I cheered.
Conrart-"I believe it will be best if you stayed here Lady Caren."
Günter-"And catch you up to where his highness is in his studies!"
"eh!" I choked. There was a blue shadow and verticle lines where my eyes were.
Wolfram-"Knowing you, resistance is futile." while in the background Günter was freaking out about my sudden change of color. Everyone left the room, leaving me with heaping mess of manly tears.
"Don't cry Günter! I. Will. Not cryyyyy-ahhhhh…AHHH!"
"Get a grip!"
"Yes m'lady, please forgive me; it isn't that I am not happy to teach you-"
"Hold that thought, I have to use the ladies room!"
"Righ-"
Of course I wasn't really planning on going to the bathroom. I was headed to the area between the front of the castle and the gate.
"psst, Dacascosu!" I called to Dacascos. I hid behind a pillar; the others were waiting for the horses to be prepared, speaking amongst themselves.
"eh? me?"
"Roll me up in the tarp like a sushi roll!"
"Like a wha-"
"Just do it okay?!"
"I don't know…I don't think-"
"It's better not to know, not to think otherwise it won't make sense understand?!"
"Not really but okay, whatever you say-" I dropped onto it and covered myself. Dacascos awkwardly rolled me up and picked me up to tie me to the back of the horse.
Geez, I can hardly breath! I sure hope this isn't a bad idea, just stupid.
