The Emperor's Lover Was Murdered

In front of Count Dundress’s residence, Stein was waiting for me.

 

After crossing the carriage, door Stain opened and entering the mansion with the guidance of the butler, A Noble, and a young lady standing in the entrance hall with a large chandelier flashing and hanging above. They are taking their eyes off us with dissatisfaction.

 

They seemed to be the mother and sister of Count Dundress.

 

“The Countess, Young lady I am Detective Nass Moetton and This is the SS commander Mr. Stein, who is helping me. I am sorry for the loss and the unfortunate things that happened to, Count.”

 

“I’m sorry to hear you express that regret in the form of a house search.”

 

“It’s not a search, it’s a simple investigation, madam. It may be cumbersome and unpleasant, but it is to pursue the criminal, so we ask for your cooperation.”

 

I bowed my head as politely as possible not to arouse the pain of those who lost their family.

 

The countess, who was still displeased, turned around without saying a word and walked away, and I sighed and said to the butler.

 

“I’m going to go through all the correspondence the Count has exchanged. Please guide me to the study.”

 

I went up to the Count’s study under the guidance of the butler.

 

Count Dundress was probably not a neat person, so unorganized bundles of letters and papers were on the desk.

 

When I opened the drawer, it was full of wads of paper.

 

“Did the Count have a place where he usually kept important documents?”

 

“The documents related to the operation of the estate are kept separately, but to view them, you must obtain the permission of the count’s mother.

 

“Rather than that, I’m going to focus on personal correspondence.”

 

“As far as I know, there are no separate correspondences.”

 

“All right, go out, I’ll call you later.”

 

It is unlikely that the reason you should cover your face in a remote place you visit late at night is about the management of the estate.

 

Finding out who the Count had to have a secret meeting with will be the first step in unraveling this case.

 

While searching in earnest in the Count’s study, I found a chest of drawers in which the letters the Count had received were kept.

I started reading from the top one, but they looked just like random letters since I couldn’t understand the context.

 

In addition, the order was in tatters.

 

…You must not have forgotten that night that was redder than a red rose.

 

[‘…You must not have forgotten that night that was passionate than a red rose. I’m waiting now. Your Rose.’]

 

What, did the Count who was in love with His Majesty the Emperor had an illicit affair with another woman?

 

The date is September 2nd. The scent of roses still wafted through the letter that arrived before the count’s murder.

 

I’ve never seen such a big greeting.

 

Don’t tell me this is a murder case is related to the letter?

 

No way. No matter how jealous she is, she can’t tear people apart like that.

[T/N-she is talking about the emperor]

 

Was there a woman in the Linton Empire with such swordsmanship?

Is it really a contract murder, as Gibril said?

 

I clicked my tongue and opened the next letter.

 

[‘…I believe that the relationship we have built since the academy is by no means easy–.

As you know, my older brother is not the type of person who makes such a mistake.

This is due to the misunderstanding of Viscount Tolos. With a little help from you, everything will go smoothly. First of all, how about meeting and talking? I’ll be waiting for your call–. With a long friendship, Jeffrey.’]

 

I don’t think he would have secretly met his friend in that remote place.

 

[‘Dear Count Dundress, please deliver the enclosed gift to His Majesty the Emperor—’]

 

This is a common request.

 

Other than letters, I found something more like ‘the powder made from sheep’s head, the root of tilta, and the dried baslas berries are all medicinal herbs that revitalize and relieve inflammation (swelling). When used together, it is known to be effective for hair loss.’

 

If you visit the pharmacy, they will sincerely do their best whatever medicine you are looking for.

 

What is this again, Count Dundress, was facing hair loss?

 

I heard that the emperor really cares about his handsome looks, so he was in a lot of trouble.

 

Most of the count’s study letters consisted of soliciting requests through friendship or encouraging him to build acquaintance.

 

A few months ago, the count was caught the emperor’s eye and was running on the road to success, so it was not unreasonable.

 

I continued to read letters with similar content.

 

[‘Didn’t I recognize your talent early on and pave the way for a wizard? Prior to this dean’s election, if you attend a banquet and brighten up the seat, this teacher’s..’]

 

While searching the chest, I found some muslin fruits.

 

‘The muslin fruit is also an excellent drug for skin beautification and hair loss.’

 

It is also used as a drug to suppress malignant tumors when taken together with the medicines the count inquired about earlier. Muslin fruit is a scarce medicinal product, but it was always available in medicine stores…

 

[It would be nice to meet and talk in detail. See you there Wednesday at 8 o’clock.]

 

Wednesday at 8?

 

While my eyes were slowly starting to hurt, I was awakened by a terse letter.

 

The exact date is not given, but Wednesday is the day the Count died.

 

The bar owner said that around 8 o’clock that day, a man wearing a hat had come.

 

It is possible that the person who sent this letter was the same person who appeared at the bar that day.

 

Then why did the Count arrive there at half-past nine?

 

Could it be that the emperor, who likes alcohol, couldn’t refuse the drink recommended by the emperor and was late?

More than that, who the hell is this guy?

 

Neither the envelope nor the stationery had any identification marks.

 

Although it was a letter with no greetings or closing words, it was judged that more letters had come and went before, so I searched all the remaining letters.
