"Mary?"

At Hestia's answer, Grand Duke Estin leaned his arms around the back of the chair and asked, as if he was finally interested. How did Mary know someone who lived in Tana District? He doesn't think she knew her from the orphanage in the mountains.

"Did she know her when she was in the orphanage?"

"Oh, I didn't check that out. I'm sorry."

Hestia stood up straight with a look of regret. Judging from the circumstances Mary mentioned earlier, she did not seem to be from the same orphanage, but she could not say without any particular certainty.

Lucas, who was next to her, talked to Estin instead.

"I haven't heard of any children who have become independent from the orphanage yet."

"Then I think she met her when she visited Giefroy."

"Did Mary go to Tana district?"

Actually, Hestia had no intention of reporting it to Estin. It was because she pitied Mary who was wary of everything. She seemed to think of herself as Conler's guest and carefully censored each of her actions.

Nevertheless, she unintentionally caused a lot of accidents.

After watching Mary for a short time, Hestia began to somewhat understand. Mary's personality is more unusual than she thought.

So Hestia wanted to put many people around Mary. In fact, it was not an easy decision for Hestia to attach Carol Delat, who she had no information on, to Mary's side. Still, Carol's eyes looking at Mary at that time were really sincere. The seeds Mary sowed on Carol will bloom.

Hestia closed her eyes once, opened them, and spoke straight to Estin.

"Miss Mary lost her way and went towards Tana District."

"......was she alright?"

"Yes, thankfully, I found her right away."

It's not completely wrong....

Her backbone began to feel cold as she received Estin's suspicious gaze, but Hestia tried to stand upright.

From now on, I'll tell you the absolute truth, my lord. Please forgive me just this once.

"Miss Mary wanted her?"

"Yes."

Lucas' expression continued to look bad. No matter how much Mary wanted her, hiring her would not be easy. Since her background is not clear, that's all.

Hestia noticed Lucas' expression. How on earth could she persuade these two. The best gatekeeper of Britina Empire.

His brother Vincent Taylor came to mind. The head of the Guild of Conler. A man who will sell fish to a mermaid even if he drowned and someone who will sell cactus in a desert.

Hestia closed her eyes and opened it again, and hoped Vincent Taylor's soul would possess her.

But she couldn't back down like this. The gatekeeper is bound to have a gap. Hestia was able to become the deputy commander even when she had a weaker physical strength than other knights because she handled the sword well, she grasped the opponent's weaknesses well and attacked the gap.

At present, the common weakness of the two men is the 'Mary'. Hestia quickly rolled her head. In times like this, you just need to use the standard method. She has to be honest.

"Miss Mary looked around Tana district that day and was very sorry that such a place existed in the territory of Conler."

"......."
