Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

“They…! They are all being educated at Duke Borgia’s Réunion Castle, which is his private domain. We have no right to interfere…”

“So no one has seen them since, right?”

“But this can’t be used as evidence to defame Duke Borgia!”

Trafalgar still refused to believe. It’s true that Duke Borgia hadn’t been seen in public for a long time, having stayed in his Réunion Castle for over a month.

Considering the injuries Duke Borgia sustained on his campaign, no one found this unusual.

“Baron Trafalgar, please hear me out.”

“…”

“Lily was adopted from the church in the Duke’s domain. If you doubt her identity, we could look up the relevant records.”

The church that had once sheltered Lily definitely had a record of the adopted homeless children. Even if not, the priests and nuns who helped Lily would surely recognize her. Once this was confirmed, Duke Borgia could no longer deny his involvement.

Trafalgar was speechless for a moment. He suddenly drew his sword and violently carved several frenzied slashes into the ground.

“How could this be… could it be…”

Trafalgar murmured to himself. Not just him, but probably everyone in the Duke’s domain would have their faith shattered upon learning the truth, reacting even more strongly than Trafalgar, an adventurer.

I began to understand why Siegdeletha and Lily chose to reveal the truth in Trafalgar’s presence.

“Baron Trafalgar… you don’t want Duke Borgia’s reputation to be tarnished in his later years, do you?”

Trafalgar didn’t immediately respond to Siegdeletha but silently opened his quest panel, remaining mute.

Carlo Cat, seeing this, did the same as Trafalgar.

“Meow… look at this…”

Carlo Cat shared the quest information with Siegdeletha and me.

【Hidden Quest: Twilight Hero

Learn the other side of the truth from the girl Amalilis, who is being pursued by Duke Borgia.

Inside Duke Borgia’s Réunion Castle, there seems to be a secret unknown to others.

Quest Objective: Investigate the hidden affairs of Duke Borgia

Quest Reward: None (Unknown)

You can share this quest with other adventurers through shared information】

The hidden quest was triggered.

“There’s a quest, meow… which means, Duke Borgia really…”

“—Not necessarily.”

Trafalgar suddenly spoke.

“Hidden quests might contain false information and cannot be considered conclusive evidence. Are you trying to win me over to your side? Aren’t you afraid I’ll leak the information?”

“If you truly care about Duke Borgia’s reputation, you won’t leak it.”

Siegdeletha replied very seriously, and I thought maybe elves in the forest have a hidden intelligence buff.

Even if Trafalgar made the hidden quest public, it wouldn’t necessarily attract players, since the reward is unknown, and it might not be appealing to mainstream players.

Trafalgar sighed deeply, apparently pondering something.

“You’ve been through a lot, Lily.”

I gently stroked Lily’s back and whispered in her ear.

“…Then, Duke Borgia came. He saw me, his expression turned terrifying.”

Lily’s hoarse voice reached my ears as she clung to me.

“He drew his sword… and swung at me… Everyone was cut down… I escaped using that scroll… I stole many of them…”

Recalling when I left Lily alone at home, she once had an emotional breakdown.

She said it was a lie.

Everyone was deceived by him; he wanted to kill Lily and the others.

So that’s it, what Lily said at that time, it was about this.

Lily and the others thought Duke Borgia was a good person, but the truth was not so.

Lily stumbled upon Duke Borgia’s secret, and then Duke Borgia tried to erase her, but he didn’t anticipate that Lily had stolen a space-transferring scroll. He seriously wounded Lily, but she managed to escape successfully.

Unable to determine if Lily was alive or dead, Duke Borgia hired a legendary painter, using a skill to draw Lily’s portrait, and distributed it to every guard team in the duchy, likely with an order to bring back dead or alive. That’s why the task given to Uncle François and the others was to find a person.

All the clues were coming together.

“I need to confront Duke Borgia for clarification.”

“Baron Trafalgar, going alone would be like a moth to a flame.”

“I won’t act recklessly. Perhaps it’s necessary to protect Amalilis’s safety before uncovering the truth.”

Trafalgar’s demeanor became much softer.

“I’m a noble of the Baron of Hearst domain, with my own territory. Unless there’s a special circumstance, the guards wouldn’t dare to search my castle repeatedly.”

Siegdeletha discreetly gave me a thumbs up. It looked like we had won over Baron Trafalgar. If Trafalgar was willing to offer his domain as our shelter, it would be much safer than wandering in the wilderness.

“Forgive my intrusion, but your confidants…”

“My castle is filled with NPCs, no adventurers. You can rest assured.”

I was worried about adventurers around Trafalgar betraying Lily, as his baron status was equivalent to creating a [Noble] guild.

But Trafalgar said he had no adventurer companions, and if his castle was filled with NPCs, at least the possibility of betraying us was lower.

“We should set off without delay.”
