319. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [90]
「The venue of the conference was decided by the Leader of the Holy Knights, the pinnacle of the Holy Knight Association. It was he who conveyed the venue to each head of the four great powers.」
The president began to speak slowly, folding her arms.
「On a side note… all possible measures against information leak were taken. The method of delivery was “postal delivery” so as not to leave a record on any electronic terminal. In addition, four of the Seven Holy Swords, who were also supposed to attend the conference, were appointed as the carriers.」
「W-Wow, that’s almost overkill.」
「Well, they’re the safest and most reliable postman in the world. So no information should have been leaked, but…」
「Information was still leaked to the enemy.」
「Yes… It would seem that there is a “traitor” among the four great powers.」
「A traitor, huh.」
When I heard that word, the person who came to my mind was Sebas Chandler. Sebas-san is said to have been hiding his identity in Ringard for many years and has been involved in a number of incidents.
(But he returned to the Empire earlier this year and has since operated as one of the Emperor’s Four Knights.)
Thinking in chronological order, he would not be the “traitor” in this case.
「Going by common sense, there are only nine suspects. The four heads of the four great powers, the four holy swords who were in charge of delivery, and the leader of the Holy Knights who decided the venue.」
The president raised her fingers one by one and listed the suspects.
