Bartfort got arrested?!

They said he's working with the Principality.

They got evidence from his room!

His repelling the Principality was a sham?!

Disgusting.

A traitor to the Kingdom.

I always knew he smelled fishy!

Man, the stuff they do to ruin me.

Silence, traitor!

Ow...

I'll remember your face.

Look at that.

Heh, serves him right.

Them?

Defiling the name of the Academy!

Criminal!

Traitor!

You! Get up and walk!

Go to hell!

Another sudden reversal?

Well, at least it's better than being treated like a hero.

Leon...

All right...

Who the hell's picking a fight with me now?

THE WORLD OF OTOME GAMES IS TOUGH FOR MOBS

TRAPPED IN A DATING SIM 2: THE WORLD OF OTOME GAMES IS TOUGH FOR MOBS

ANOTHER SUDDEN REVERSAL

As of this moment, this ship is managed by the Kingdom!

Move!

Damn junk!

The Palace has confiscated this property!

Including the lost item armor!

If you resist, you will be scrapped!

We have arrested Leon Fou Bartfort under suspicion of treason against the Palace.

Well done. He has been assigned a cell at the bottom level of the prison.

We shall transport him there.

Yes, sir!

This way. Move!

Move faster.

What? I'm moving as fast as I can.

Lady Mylene?!

Leon, lower your voice.

Man, I never thought I'd see you here! I'm glad I got arrested.

Honestly, remaining complacent under this situation...

Oh, you were Angie's...

Her brother, Gilbert.

There is a favor I would like to ask of you.

A favor?

Leon, as I said previously, infighting within the Palace is fierce.

It is because the Redgrave family has declined after Prince Julius' disinheritance.

In a sense, you are the cause.

Uhh...

In particular, Marquess Frampton's faction has gained support.

He is trying to eliminate the Redgrave family's influence in its entirety.

In order to gain power, he is attempting to align himself with the Principality.

So you're saying I got arrested for a Marquess and Principality plot?

Marquess Frampton sees you as a threat, as you possess a lost item.

It is entirely possible for him to join forces with the Principality

for their grudge against you.

What about the Principality?

Reparations were demanded for territorial invasion, but there is no response yet.

Or perhaps the marquess is delaying it.

Hmm...

Unfortunately, you will need to stay in this prison.

We would like you to smoke out the ones connected to the Principality.

We expect them to make contact with you during your imprisonment.

So I'm the bait?

We want to determine who are enemies and who are friends.

I'm sorry, Leon. This will be hard on you.

Your Majesty...

Do Angie and Livia know what's going on with me?

They do not.

No, we cannot tell them.

This is a top secret mission.

What is the meaning of this?!

You led Leon into a trap!

Oh? What do you mean?

It seems that Marquess Frampton is protecting you.

You curried favor with the marquess to destroy Leon!

I would like it if you did not doubt me without evidence.

Just because their faction is at odds with your family...

Why would you go so far after Leon?

You intend to start a war again?

Do you hate us... the Kingdom, so much?

What could you possibly know?

20 years ago,

the Kingdom attacked the Principality without pretense, as I understand.

Only to expand its own territory...

Only to extract the treasure and resources that lay there...

And, calling it your "adventurer's instinct,"

you laid hands upon not only soldiers, but women and children.

The Principality's brave soldiers managed to repel you through hard-fought battles,

but the cost was far too high.

Their children... Their parents...

The sorrow of the people of the Principality whose families were slain...

Can you know that pain?

Do not think that you can be forgiven!

The marquess is simply using your grudge against the Kingdom for his gain!

Why don't you understand that?!

That is enough.

I cannot allow you to grow violent with Princess Hertrude.

You...

Princess Hertrude, the marquess wishes to speak with you.

This is...

We checked the vault once more based on the expedition report and found this.

The arm of an ancient armor was listed in the report. I believe this is a lost item.

Yes. It is the spitting image of the one that lay on the elves' island.

It seems that it is a pair with the other lost item.

I would be honored if the Principality were to make use of it.

If you would, I would like you to return the magic flute and Vandel's sword.

The royal family has them tightly under lock and key.

Greasing a palm or two comes with quite some risk.

Hmph.

With this, the previous plan can be enacted.

It may be useful to force ceding lands to the Principality.

You receive your lands, and I make peace between us to gain standing.

It is beneficial for both of us.

And what is happening with Viscount Bartfort?

Apart from his ship, we have confiscated his lost item, the black armor.

He has been imprisoned as well.

That means that all that may threaten the Principality no longer does.

It seems the day we call you Prime Minister is nigh.

Only with your assistance, Your Highness.

The fall of the Redgrave family was also a major factor.

I leave coordination with the Principality to you. Do it well.

As you wish.

There is no turning back now.

Rauda, blame everything on your foolish older sister.

This is from the Princess?

Yes. She has succeeded in currying favor with the Kingdom.

Sir Vandel, are you prepared to equip it?

I am already dead as a knight.

What remains of my life is for the Princess.

Very well.

It seems that they have imprisoned that villainous knight

and confiscated his ship and armor.

I had hoped to settle my score with the boy on the battlefield.

Will you do away with your pride as a warrior?!

We, the Principality, must win at any cost!

Sir Vandel, prepare the magic armor.

I will call Her Highness, the Princess' younger sister, Princess Hertrauda.

Ugh...

Hey, you got a visitor!

Visitor?

Away.

Why, look who it is!

What brings the high and mighty princess of the Principality here?

I have come to speak with you, Viscount Bartfort.

You must be aware by now that we are on the verge of another war.

Yeah. Thanks to a certain someone.

Viscount Bartfort.

Kneel before me and become my knight.

You will serve the Principality. If you do so, I will free you.

And turn to your side?

Do you want to lose your life for naught but a Kingdom power struggle?

What you truly seek is a peaceful life.

Why do you think that?

There was a time when you didn't kill someone.

And while you possess the great power of a lost item,

you do not flaunt that power, nor do you assist the Kingdom's army.

Oh?

It seems that you understand me better than the Kingdom does.

If you serve me, I promise you a quiet and peaceful life one day.

I refuse.

Do you love the Kingdom so much?

No, not really.

Huh?

I feel no obligation to the Kingdom. I mean, they chucked me into this hole.

In fact, I hate it.

Then why not?

Well, you know...

It seems there is no further point.

It will be too late if you change your mind later.

This time, we will turn the Kingdom of Holfort into a pool of blood.

And...

...we will sink this land.

Stop us, if you can.

Seems like she really hates me.

She seemed rather hesitant to me.

Hesitant?

Father, please! Release Leon from prison!

Stop acting like a child.

But at this rate, war will begin again.

Without Leon's power—

Even if I used my position to release him,

his all-important ship and armor will not be returned.

Are you saying that Leon is worth nothing without his lost item?

Leon has done so much for me for so long!

What of it?

I have already rewarded him accordingly.

Who do you think was responsible for his rise to prominence?

Father...

I have been partial to Bartfort thus far because he had power.

Now that he has lost that power, there is nothing for us as the Redgrave family to do.

You must always remember this.

If you make one wrong move, you will never pass through the gates of this estate again.

Leon...

Angie!

What happened to Leon? Did they do anything?

He is still imprisoned.

What? But why...

The situation is graver than I imagined.

There are some in the Palace who are working with the Principality.

They threw Leon in the dungeons and are about to start a war.

War? But...

I asked my family for help, but nothing came of it.

If only I had more power, I would be able to protect Leon.

Then what will happen to Leon?

If he cannot prove that he is not a Principality spy,

there is a chance that he will be executed.

What?!

Leon has saved us time and time again.

In the duel against Prince Julius,

and when I was held hostage by the Principality...

Yet I cannot do anything for him.

Nothing...

Angie...

Livia...

No, wait!

There is still one party that may be able to help.

Do you mean...

Oh?

So you came to ask my help?

Me, the Saint?

Please, save Leon.

Please.

I was so happy when I heard that stupid mob got arrested,

but I never thought these two would beg me for help!

Asking me for help now is pretty tone-deaf.

Did you forget what you did to Julius?

You said quite a few things about me back then.

I was thoughtless. Please forgive me.

Yeah, you were!

And as for you, flowers for brains.

Y-Yes?

Don't you think that there's a right way to ask for help?

A right way?

Both of you, bow before me, heads to the ground!

If you make one wrong move, you will never pass through the gates of this estate again.

I'll bow for both of—

No. It has to be both of you. No excuses.

But...

Angelica would never.

The daughter of a duke, placing her head to the ground?

Disinheritance would be the least of her worries.

Not like I know how to save that damn mob anyway.

I turn them down gently and—

Huh?!

What?!

What?

Bowing to the ground?

The duke's daughter?

Oh, how far the Redgrave family has fallen.

Look at that, Saint Marie! How unsightly!

The duke's daughter is bowing evenly with a commoner!

Shameful!

You'd make them do this much? Honestly, even I'm feeling sick about it.

Wait, wait, wait! I didn't think they'd actually do it!

I want you to save Leon's life.

U-Um...

With that attitude?

Like she said, there's a right way to ask for help!

Or maybe the duke's daughter doesn't know how to speak properly?

Please save Leon's life,

S-Saint Marie.

Now isn't that wretched?

You too, peasant!

Hey, now!

Don't get in over your head just because you have some mysterious power!

Hey!

Please save Leon, Saint Marie.

Saint Marie, I have found a convenient footrest for you.

How about using the duke's daughter as a chair and the peasant as a footrest?

W-What's with these two?

They're using my name to take their grudge out on them!

Are you happy to become the Saint's chair?

Hurry up and answer her!

Hold it!

Julius...

The two of them have shown their resolve. Marie, they don't need to show any more.

With this much resolve, we must respond in kind.

Let's forget about the troubles of our past.

Any more will injure your honor, Marie.

Let's go save that Bartfort!

Save him?! What the hell?! I don't know how!

T-Then can I ask you to do that?

Yes.

Leave it to us!

Angie...

It would've been enough for me to bow. Why?

Because I thought this would be best.

Even if it means besmirching my family's name

and bowing before the woman who stole my betrothed...

That is how badly I want to save Leon.

Angie...

You think of Leon that much...

The villainous knight has not moved.

The lost item, ship, and armor are still under Marquess Frampton's confiscation.

Very good.

Princess, all preparations are set.

Men, rise up!

We shall now march upon the Kingdom of Holfort!

Advance!

Bowing to the ground and the Five Stooges jumping in?!

Ahhh! - Leon's still looking composed.

The Saint's down! Kingdom's in danger!

Ahhh!

Next time: "I Love Facades, You See."

But these guys are coming to save me?! Talk about scary!

Ahhh!
