Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!

“I am the familiar of great Lord Maxwell.
Please don’t lump me together with random familiars.”
“I thought pigeons would have a more charming manner of speech.”

I was a bit put off by the gap between its appearance and manner of speech that sounded strangely majestic.
Its speech made the feather patterns above its eyes look like rugged eyebrows to me.

“Anyway, as Maxwell said, I could be in a race against time.
They were trying to hide their tracks, so I don’t think they plan to get rid of him immediately, but since they left Priscilla there, it’s highly likely that they’d vacate this mansion today or tomorrow.”

I collected my thoughts as I talked with the pigeon.
Leaving Elliot’s guard there meant the matter would eventually reach Maxwell’s ears.
When that happened, Maxwell would personally take command and pin down the culprit as long as they were still in the capital.

The fact that they left her there despite all that meant that they probably didn’t plan to overstay here.

Assuming that to be the case, they would get rid of Elliot within a few days… Before the information would reach Maxwell and he manages to track this mansion down.

Maxwell could use Search magic.
This magic could detect the designated target in the surrounding area, including but not limited to life forms and magic power.
Naturally, there were ways to avoid its detection, but it was hardly possible to hide from someone as excellent as Maxwell for a long time.

“So they aren’t wary of Master’s Search? That’s quite bold of them.”
“They probably planned to accomplish their minimal objective and flee before he arrived.
And based on the fact that they abducted him, that objective must be something that requires him to be alive.”
“For example?”

Arriving up to that point, I started thinking about the reasons why Elliot would be deemed unnecessary.
It goes without saying, but he was the most important person of the United Three Nations.
A bachelor that succeeded the blood of the former royals.
Thinking about his professional duties as the king…

“Let’s see, maybe making him unable to produce children?”
“Children?”
“Yeah.
Kings regard their bloodline as the most important thing.
If they kill him now, it could lead to a civil war.”

“So you mean they would let him go?”
“Yeah.
But if they leave him be, they would not be able to force him to abdicate.
But what if they turn him into a ‘king that can’t make offsprings’?”

As long as Elliot was alive, other kingdoms or even his own nobles would not be able to make any big moves.
But what if they made it so he would not be able to produce children?

That would increase the possibility of forcing him to abdicate and put someone else on the throne.
The matter of successors was that important.

“And it doesn’t take much effort to turn someone infertile.
You just have to crush it a bit.”
“…That made me flinch a little.”

This time, it was Maxwell’s voice that came from the familiar.
Looks like he heard what I said.

“Well, since this is about you, your assumption might be off as always.”
“Hey, that’s rude!”
“After all, if they just wanted to crush his thing, they could have done that on the spot.
Besides, healing magic could somehow handle that.
That said, you might not be far off from the truth.
Being the sovereign of the United Nations that owns the most land on the continent – that is Elliot’s biggest value.”

Leaving his statement aside, since there were such methods, the situation was highly unpredictable indeed.

It was better to stop sneaking around and head straight for Elliot.
