Thanks for the chapter!
Looks like it didn't take much to get the count to confess. Guy really is a moron, especially bringing up a sensitive issue with a knight that's a member of the royal family. Could've been executed just for the lèse-majesté. Doubt Alice was really planning on doing anything sexual with the count other than string him along dangling a carrot in front of him while adding more conditions and favors without actually giving him anything. Chances are she already picked up on MC's magic, knew things were taking a turn for the worse, left the count to take most of the blame, and headed to a lair where can maximize defenses and have home advantage. Likely along with a bunch of undead minions to weaken the party before they can get to her. Might even have detected Mii following her with a spell. Guess we'll find out soon. It's good MC wants to take responsibility for the carriage but unlikely to have enough money to pay for it and the count is going to be busy dealing with murdering a village under his protection along with a bunch of other crimes. Heck, just ordering his guards to attack Eileen is a major crime in itself while her beating him up is likely just going to amount to a scolding from the king as only the royal family have the authority or power to bring her actions into question or judgement. Granted if she murdered someone in broad daylight in front of witnesses a guard might be able to take her into custody but I get the feeling this is one of those governments where no matter the circumstances a commoner can't kill, possibly can't even injure in self defense, a noble without severe penalties.
