133 – Their War 7
“Because it is! Really… it was all a misunderstanding! From the beginning, Polena and that person had nothing to do with my brother!”
“that… okay? Well.. If you are, that must be the correct answer..?”
Dust talking with a bit of overemphasis
Seeing her like this, Estelle nodded at first, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of incongruity that didn’t go away.
She speaks in a completely different way than she usually does.
But… Estelle was well aware of the fact that there was no reason Dust wouldn’t tell her the truth.
In addition, if you think about it, the reason why she is showing this kind of appearance is also perplexing, but not completely unfounded.
‘It must have been quite dangerous… I almost got caught by Santana-sama.’
As a matter of course, if this incident was misrepresented, Estelle could face a really dangerous situation, even if it was Dust.
If he didn’t do it, he could have made Santana plant a bad feeling due to the thing that touched his person.
Fortunately, it seemed that things hadn’t gone that far since Durst didn’t talk about the situation, but Estelle was still heartbroken at the fact that things might have gone wrong.
‘Anyway.. Assuming the situation was a bit dangerous, it would be difficult to fully trust the information Dust brought. No matter how much I think about it in the first place, Santana’s only lover is Polena.’
If possible, she wanted to get the story out of Polena herself, and it was Estelle who had actually ordered this from Dust as well.
However, it is unreasonable for Estelle to investigate Polena any longer in this situation, where Dust seems to have narrowly escaped after being caught by Santana while trying to take Polena away.
In the end, she had no choice but to finish this job for now by keeping quiet for a while until Santana’s vigilance calmed down, and looking for future opportunities.
Of course, that didn’t completely wipe out the idea that she would someday take care of Polena.
Although it is no longer possible to move Dust, I will have to step back,
If there is another chance in the future, she will definitely finish it, she made up her mind.
‘Let’s see… this time I got lucky. I’ll be sure to trample on you next time.’

Polena cleaning Santana’s room.
At this moment, with the duster in her hand, she was making it tidy by looking around every nook and cranny to even the smallest places that are usually not cleaned well.
Polena, who seems to genuinely enjoy it, not just for the sake of simple labor, with a deep smile on her face while working.
However… apart from the appearance of a maid who is passionate about her work on the outside,
this moment.
In Polena’s head, secret but not light events from last night were slowly swirling.
Unlike the time when she handled Blood lightly from her teacher’s point of view, she played with Dust with a little sincerity.
In the process, Polena was able to hear stories about the facts she already knew and the facts she did not know unexpectedly.
‘It’s a lot of fun?… I can’t believe Estelle would act like this.’
A woman who was Santana’s contract fiancée, but at some point it became clear that she truly liked Santana.
To be honest, Polena had no intention of saying anything about that fact itself.
He knew Santana’s feelings for Cazeros and was well aware of the relationship between the two.
However, from Estelle’s point of view, she was completely unaware of this fact, and even though it was a contract, the two were officially engaged.
Crucially, as Polena herself was well aware of the charm of a man named Santana, it was judged that it was possible for Estelle to fall in love with him after continuing to meet several times as an engaged relationship.
In the first place, this is a fact that Santana had been considering as a possibility to some degree since the contract engagement.
however..
Aside from this fact, Polena began to feel quite a deep interest in addition to being a little surprised that Estelle… and Dust were looking at her in this way.
Estelle guesses that she and Santana are having a secret relationship.
Of course, Polena also had a crush on a man named Santana, but strictly speaking, the two are just a master-servant relationship made by contract. We have never officially revealed our feelings or confessed to each other.
Of course, Polena had talked about it a few times in a joking way, but Santana had never taken this seriously in the first place.
In that respect, Estelle’s guess was just a simple mistake, but…
At this moment, Polena had no intention of passing over Estelle’s ‘misunderstanding’.
‘Thinking about the future… Even a misunderstanding like this wouldn’t be such a bad thing.’
Although he ordered Dust to deny this, Polena had no idea that this would work in the first place.
Estelle was well aware of the fact that the woman was a fairly intelligent person.
There was no way that such a person would not be able to see through Dust’s shallow lies.

Nevertheless, the reason she instructed her to tell this story was to prevent her identity from being revealed by tying Dust’s mouth with a shackle called ‘reporting lies’.
‘With this, Estelle will think that I got out of the crisis with Santana’s help. You wouldn’t have imagined that I would have this much power.’
As others seemed to be doing the cleaning diligently, Polena began to think seriously about how it would be fun to lead her future work.

Sofia, the capital city of the Dragona Empire.
There, dozens of wagons were loaded with countless items from all over the empire.
An enormous amount of food, military supplies, and even special products for trade.
At first glance, it was a scene that seemed as if the corps were carrying goods, but these were objects prepared for political purposes, not economic gain.
Items collected to support the Heretic Alliance.
Of course, since the advance payment related to this was already received, there was no benefit in transporting it, but at the same time, there was almost no loss.
Because it was a treaty between the Dragona Empire and the Heretic Alliance.
and.
He is the person who stands at the center of this large-scale procession, and the person who is giving orders to people more actively than anyone else at this moment.
Cazeros, the general manager of this group and the princess of the Dragona Empire, was carefully examining everything until the very end.
“Please double check the wheat and the sieve and the oats for the horse feed, other things are important but that is the most important.”
“Okay, ma’am.”
“Please also note the condition of the wagons. Since we have to go a long way, it will be difficult to sit down on the way.”
“yes. I will.”
Like that, Cazeros returned to the carriage she was going to ride after finishing the last check that lasted quite a long time.
There stood her mother, the Duke of Catlena, who had come to see her off.
“Haa.. Really… do you really have to go like this?”
“Of course, mother. If you don’t tell me, you know, but after I go this time, I won’t be able to come back for a while. Until the job there is done.”
A daughter who speaks in a firm voice.
Regarding this, the duke slightly frowned, but said in a bitter voice, recognizing the fact that in the end he could not defeat her will.
“… Yes.. if that’s the way you want it to be. I can’t help it. I hope you won’t regret it later.”
“That won’t happen. Just like my mother never regretted choosing my father.”
“… You’re really good at telling who you look like.”
“Then, I’ll be back, mother.”
Like that, Cazeros climbs into the wagon leaving behind her mother who shows a not-so-smooth attitude until the end.
The huge procession, which had finally finished all preparations, began to move forward as it was. The wagon carrying Cazeros also started moving.
‘Wait a little, Santana-sama.
Cazeros longs to see Sara’s face again as soon as possible with a heart full of expectations.
and..
Beside Cazeros was a woman who escorted her on this journey.
Blood Mary, a 10th grade witch, was with them.
