Crusch:  "Well, my little princess, since you’re ignorant of what’s going on outside, let me bring you the news. A knight has arrived to save the captured princess. Though he hardly looked like one."

Crusch:  "—" Miles was probably talking about Ferris. He was supposed to be in the capital—but for her sake, he had come back to the Karsten lands after just a short time. And Fourier was involved in it, she was almost certain. She pictured herself telling him that he could use his judgment if things went badly.

Crusch:  "I just can’t outdo His Highness…" Her own ineptness had produced this situation. She hated her foolishness, but she was also overjoyed that the two of them would go to such lengths to ensure her safety. She heaved a sigh.

Miles:  "Bean had some demand for that knight. I don’t know what he might do if the boy actually gives him what he wants, but I know it’s nothing I agreed to."

Crusch:  "Oh, isn’t it?"

Miles:  "Think about it. Only people of a very specific bloodline can use this spell to raise the dead. Do you think I would let it slip through my fingers so easily? The moment people die, they become laborers with unlimited endurance."

Crusch:  "I see now. You were never in league with Bean philosophically. It was always about the slave trade for you. In fact…it’s not even slave trading anymore, is it? You’ve stooped to simple grave robbing."

Miles:  Miles only laughed, appearing unmoved by Crusch’s barb.

Crusch:  So they had been wrong to suspect the House of Argyle of slaving. What Miles had been bringing them over the months were not slaves but a vast number of corpses. His role had been to procure the bodies that would be used to test the Sacrament of the Immortal King.

Miles:  "Incidentally, the kingdom has no laws against the selling of dead bodies. It may not be the most reputable business in the world, but it’s not a crime. You understand?" Miles said mockingly.

Crusch:  At first blush, it seemed like a good excuse. But for it to work, the country would have to close its eyes to one crucial thing.

Crusch:  "You’re right, we can’t get you on charges of slave trading. But how do you expect to explain away what you’ve done to me? Kidnapping and imprisoning a duchess, not to mention the use of forbidden magic. Those are crimes. Far more serious ones than slaving."

Miles:  "Yes, we do have a problem there. If I were to be arrested, I doubt I’d avoid the most terrible punishment they could pass down on me. So I have a request of you, my princess. I thought perhaps you and your knight could help see me safely back to my home country." Miles looked like he might lick his chops as he made this suggestion.

Crusch:  Crusch could sense confidence in his words, a strong wind that said this was not a bluff.
