So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

37. So I've Been Given Quite the Shock!(2)

T-THE ARTIFACTS THAT I STOLE FROM VISCOUNT L-LOUVRE...!  HOW MUCH DOES SHE KNOW?! H...how did she know about that?!

And, how did the Crown Prince know? There is no way right? I mean... Emma clearly said something about not getting caught, right?

Shit. Shit.

Do I have to come in terms with that?! Do I tell her about the artifacts at all!

"Lady Mielle," Isis spoke to me at last, "There is no point of running around the bush. Although last time, you had insisted that you had no idea how you managed to acquire your hands on a precious Diadem that you presented me," Isis stated. "But, we already both know that you got such an item from Viscount Louvre. Now... it can't be just me who knows this right? The others must be aware of it as well,"

"I'm also aware that there have also been other missing items that have been failed to be confiscated by the Royal Treasury... I wonder whether such items are in your hands, Lady Mielle," 

Shit. So she does know that I got the Diadem from Viscount Louvre! But how in the world does she know about the other artifacts?!

"Well... that much is true," I muster loudly at last. I needed to be honest-! There was obviously n-no point in jumping around the bush. E-even if it means... that I have to admit to treason and breaking the law... which could obviously mean me getting punished. 

"I see, so you admit to it," Isis sipped her tea calmly as she was told that I just committed illegal fraud and stealing from under the Imperial Treasury. Yes... I possessed belongings that belonged to Viscount Louvre... damnit! 

But since she knows already, it's not like I can lie and make up more incredulous bullshit. But still... 

"M-My lady F-Frederick," Emma spoke out at last behind me, "T-this is particularly all my fault, I... I am the one to blame," Emma bowed sincerely, "M-my lady had no idea what she was doing, so I had indulged her in such things... without knowing the consequences..." 

Oh no! Emma was taking the blame now-! Shit... w-what if this gets Emma in trouble?! No-! 

"It's alright," Isis put her hand up, "Technically, you didn't take anything during his capture... although all possessions that was supposed to be Viscount Louvre's were supposed to be confiscated by the Royal Family, we can always make a case that those items have been lost." Isis argued, "you don't have to worry about the law... the Frederick family can vouch for you in times of need," 

I-Isis?! 

I was almost teary-eyed when Isis said that.  S-she would really do that for me? I didn't think the Princess of the Frederick family, would help out our family, who was breaking the law. B-but still, what's the catch? 

"But are those items still in your possession?" Isis asked again. 

"Uh... yes," I said, trying to be honest, seeing that there was no point in lying. Isis narrowed her eyes. Then, I must have to say that I'm quite interested to see what's in your inventory..." Isis spoke. 

"I...I can try to bring it to you L-Lady Frederick," I say. Isis nodded with a smile. 

"But I must say... what has interested you in these artifacts?" she asked. Oh, she wants to know why I have such things.

Well, it's not like I can say they have magical powers... or anything. 

Emma gulped from behind me. Emma only knows so much... the information from the outsider, the hourglass, the Blue Orb... she knows nothing of that. 

I didn't tell Emma or anybody else about the mystical powers of the Blue Orb, or anything of that sort at all, or the letter that I received about the history of the Blue orb. I just told her to investigate the origins of the Royal Family's experimentation.
