Chapter 98

Finally, Kirshtalia had to choose to go back to the castle to confirm the contents of "810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts" - fortunately, the castle team also had members from three camps. Now he just hoped that the members of the other two camps would be more reasonable and accompany him to open the banquet hall and enter the room where the round table meeting was held.

"Ah, you're back."

The people who were busy in the hall were Ophelia and Anna. The golden-haired magician with an eye mask leaned against the wall, looked calmly at Kirshtalia who had just returned, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the banquet hall upstairs, and said, "Are you back to watch "The 810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts"? Then just go up and stand at the door and ask the three groups inside."

"After all, no one can memorize all 810 of them."

Kirshtalia nodded to Ophelia, turned and walked towards the stairs on the other side - he needed to go back to his room before going to the banquet hall.

"What are you going to get?" After returning to the rest area of ​​the White Array Camp, Charlemagne finally recovered from his spirit state and watched Kirshtalia rush into the messy yet orderly room to look for something. "Didn't Ophelia say that someone in the banquet hall would help look for it?"

"Just take a notebook and write it down." Kirshtalia closed the door with a refreshed look, and walked downstairs with a notebook, quill, and ink bottle. "After all, I can't just come back and look it up when I forget it. I can only try to write down all the rules that I can use on paper... It's impossible to memorize this amount of rules in a short time if I just rely on memorization."

Compared to the atmosphere of each doing their own thing on the croquet court, the three groups sitting at the round table were so harmonious that they seemed to have forgotten the hostile confrontation between the three camps - the young man in the Black Camp who claimed to be the script manager was writing furiously, while the members of the Red Camp were telling him stories of their own experiences, and the girl from the White Camp was smiling as a listener.

"...Stories like Hanae's would be best performed by either the Spring Group or the Winter Group—" Minamiki Tsuna was halfway through writing when she looked up and saw Kirshtalia standing at the door. "Are you back to check the 810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts? I remember you were assigned by Laplace's Demon..."

"Croquet court." Kirshtalia stood at the door of the banquet hall, smiling and looking at the three people sitting inside, pretending to wait for someone to take the notebook, quill and ink bottle in her hand, "Can you help me copy down the relevant content directly, Mashu? It's too troublesome to always come back halfway to check."

The white-haired gentleman servant appeared at the door of the banquet hall, took the things from Kirshtalia's hand, and placed them in front of Mashu one by one.

"It's copying..." Minami Tsuna watched Marsh open his notebook, paused for a moment, and then went back to continue recording Asuka Hanae's story as a reserve for script creation. "Indeed, generally speaking, things written down on paper are more reliable than in the brain. By the way, Hanae, what happened after the old lady saw you guys returning the ring?"

"In the end, Abe confessed to the old lady in person." After seeing Mash take down "The 810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts" from the wall, Asuka Hanae considerately moved the parchment in the center of the round table to make room for her, and then continued the previous topic with Minami Tsurugi, "If the old lady hadn't told us in person, we wouldn't have thought that the final outcome would be like that."

"What do you mean?"

"The monster that entrusted us has the same name as the old lady's deceased husband."

"Okay, I'm done." Mash closed the notebook and asked Sanson to return the things to Kirshtalia who was waiting outside the door. She also gave him some extra content. "Remember to come back for lunch. The Queen of Hearts even stipulated in the law the detailed requirements for meal times, types of food, and after-meal tea. I wrote them all down in it."

"...Okay." Kirshtalia nodded, turned around with her notebook and disappeared from the sight of the three groups in the banquet hall.

"So you're not going back to the croquet court?" Charlemagne asked Kirshtalia, who was staying in the rest area of ​​the White Array Camp, on behalf of Fujimaru Ritsuka. "There's still some time before lunch starts - are you planning to just wait here until lunch starts before going down? Even if you stay in the castle, I have to go back to look after the second puppet group."

"My work at the croquet grounds is over." Kirshtalia looked out the window calmly, while she shoved the notebook with the contents of "The Queen of Hearts' 810 Laws" into Charlemagne's hands. "The only part about hedgehogs is the one about pink clothes, and the parts about storks are as numerous as the requirements for the color of roses."

"Storks are also dyed according to different festivals - hedgehogs probably don't because they're just balls. Also, I guess when you go back, Ritsuka probably won't let you keep an eye on Iwanaga Kotoko."

"……?"

"…As the senior said, it can be seen that both Ashiya Hanae and Hinamichi are the type who are almost defenseless against others. So Hinamichi revealed something in front of us. She revealed something that should not be known to participants outside the Crimson Camp. Although I think the other Rose Girls should have thought of the possibility of Hinamichi's leak, let's not talk about it for now."

As soon as Charlemagne handed the notebook to him, Ritsuka Fujimaru started reading the contents in the barrier that isolated him from other people's perception. To Charlemagne's surprise, Ritsuka Fujimaru did not read the contents of "810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts" first, but read the information added by Marsh at the end.

"There was a civil war in the Crimson Camp, and there were probably two Rose Girls who knew about it. They were responsible for deceiving Katarina and giving the Rose Girls who participated in the Seventh Doll's strangling operation enough space to directly drag Xuehua Qijing into the battlefield of Alice's game in the realm of n."

"Also, although Minamiki Tsurugi has the defensiveness of an adult, he is still just a passerby who poses no threat in the Holy Grail War... I'm serious, senior. Although he and Don Quixote have a good rapport, he is not the kind of leader who can let Don Quixote defeat Sancho and make decisions in battle."

"However, despite this judgment, the Servants and Lords of the Holy Grail War have always been arranged in pairs - it seems that Sancho arranged for Minamiaki Tsuna to sit at the round table meeting today in order to assess which Lords he could offer enough chips to save Don Quixote's life."

"Because no one has memorized the entire contents of the 810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts, there will definitely be more than one group of people coming to the banquet hall today to look up the contents of the 810 Laws of the Queen of Hearts to prevent themselves from violating the rules while working. After all, it is well known that the only outcome of violating the laws of the Queen of Hearts is to be beheaded."

"Charlemagne." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed the notebook and put it into the pocket that Chaldea had reserved for carrying concept costumes and magic props when making magic costumes. "I want to ask you to go to the Rose Labyrinth - I roughly know what happened to the seventh puppet group's exit, but I still need you to help me confirm it."

"Help me confirm the magic fluctuations of the fifth puppet group in the Rose Labyrinth - although I know you are not Caster and cannot make such a detailed comparison, so what I want you to do is..."

"Just help me confirm whether the fifth doll, Shinku's magic power, is stronger than yesterday."

"Because Rose Girl's victory, after all, was based on stealing the souls of other dolls to strengthen herself."

"As for me..." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled as he removed the barrier and walked towards the keeper's hut, rolling up his sleeves. "I'll first figure out how to dye the storks. After all, Laplace's Demon didn't inform us that the Queen of Hearts' banquet was held on a holiday, so we don't need colorful storks, but we still need to dye them."

The atmosphere in the Rose Labyrinth was even worse than that of the croquet field. Charlemagne, who had just arrived at the labyrinth, was almost frozen to death by the cold atmosphere among the Lords and Servants who were mostly fighting each other. Charlemagne shook off the non-existent ice particles on his body and began to run around in the labyrinth in a spirit state.

After wandering around like a headless fly, Charlemagne decided to first look for the group of Chaldea members who were assigned by Laplace's Demon to dye roses - first go and say hello to them, and then follow Fujimaru Ritsuka's orders to look for the fifth puppet group of the Crimson Camp.

However, judging by the atmosphere in the Rose Labyrinth, except for the group that belongs to them, the other groups are either about to fight between the master and the servants, or one side is in a cold war alone - ha, according to the summary of the Chaldea meeting last night, there are quite a few lone rangers here... or guys who can't talk to each other properly.

For example, the Caster team of the Black Camp cited by Fujimaru Ritsuka as an example - although they only saw the situation where Asclepius and Amura were almost on the verge of a fight when they first met, neither Charlemagne nor Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that they could switch from confrontation to cooperation in a short period of time.

Especially at night when the Lord may dream about the Servant's experiences in his previous life - this group will probably only fight more fiercely and it is impossible for them to reach a truce and unite against the outside world.

As he was floating, Charlemagne suddenly noticed an unusual wave of magic power. He quickly rushed towards the source of the wave of magic power, and then, through the cover of the rose tree that served as the wall of the maze, he saw the fifth group of puppets standing in a stalemate with stern faces in the distance.

"I will get all the Rose Mothers, regardless of their sources - and the means by which I obtained them." The little doll with blond hair and twin ponytails declared coldly to her medium, "No matter how many times the other sisters win, or how many Rose Mothers they get - the Rose Girl who finally becomes 'Alice' will only be me."

"Isn't disobeying orders part of the Queen's butler's job?"
