Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite
Curtain call, not [break]
The battle for the reign of the Grand Fram and the Great Alexandros Empire, which had been fighting back and forth, ended with a verbal battle between Arnold and Lancelot. Each other wanted it. It was made as much as possible.
Even if the battle changes to a single battle, the situation of one step and one step does not change. As the surroundings suffocated and stared at the battle, only the sound of the two swords striking the battlefield.
The end is only a slight difference. It's a good luck.
A depression in the ground that was at the foot of Lancelot, which stepped forward greatly. Arnold didn't miss the opportunity Lancelot, who lost his balance and was slightly out of balance, showed.
They go on the offensive at a stretch and don't give Lancelot the room to rebuild. Lancelot, who was impatient for it, tried to recover and managed to move further. The best is to match the sword that Arnold swings down. He lost his balance completely and fell on his back on the ground.
When Arnold put his sword on his neck, Lancelot prepared to die, muttered a single word, "Kill," and closed his eyes and waited for death.
However, Arnold's sword was never dropped into Lancelot.
Feeling a drop of water on his face, Lancelot opened his eyes and saw Arnold hardening his sword, without wiping tears down his cheeks.
Once a close friend, he still had a piece of friendship that he thought he had long lost. Lancelot, seeing the tears, knew it and couldn't stop tears himself.
Eventually, Lancelot's disposal was suspended on the spot and decided at a later date. Even so, the defeat of the Great Alexandros Empire remains the same. Emperor Lancelot has fallen into the hands of the Grand Flam Kingdom, even though there are still remnants.
This was the day of the fall of the Great Alexandros Empire.
Rion was watching this series of events with a cold eye. I decided to head to Tokio, the imperial capital that I didn't intend to go to. It's because I was able to do what I left behind.
"I'm worried that the game is still going on."
Rion straddling the nightmare in a march to the Imperial City of Tokio, complaining of dissatisfaction.
"Why do you think so?"
Airiel asked Rion's muttering.
"Even that embarrassing farce. It doesn't seem to happen in reality."
"... well, that's right"
A friendship story between Arnold and Lancelot. Rion could only see a farce. Or just a narcissistic play. I don't think there is a play in this genre.
"And, until that woman, it's just a little injured. Isn't there a hero correction left?"
Maria was told to do so by her, and she was abandoned, but she didn't get what she was thinking. I was injured by a bit of violence. In addition, the Maria is also to be taken to the Imperial City for suspension.
"But Rion. If there's a person who violates a woman there, I think I should kill that person."
Run over women while tens of thousands of soldiers watch. As Ariel says, it's not something you can do with your normal spirit.
"... Well, but I thought I was buying a grudge that wouldn't be crazy to do so."
I thought that if I couldn't do it with my normal mind, I would be able to do that if I had a grudge against Maria and had it exploded.
"Even though my grudges are deep, I'm a bit unreasonable as the same woman."
There is a grudge against Maria as well. Still, it's bad to be assaulted in the public eye.
"I don't feel like watching it for a while, I left."
Rion, who felt her heartlessly accused of Eriel, makes an excuse.
"I'm not angry at all, but the only way to get revenge is to say I'm not refreshing."
"Then stop blaming women for weaknesses."
"... were you still going to do something?"
Aeriel thought that revenge was over in Rion.
"Naturally, no, I really wanted to end it, but I can't do it just by watching that farce."
Lancelot, who was supposed to be killed, is alive. And regain his friendship with Arnold. Rion is not recognized for such a fuzzy ending.
"... I guess the story will come back here, right?"
"Usually, you kill someone who is your former best friend or not? This is not a matter of heart, but a duty as a king."
"Yes"
Lancelot is a rebel who destroyed the Grand Flam Kingdom. Lancelot's work has killed many. Rion believes that given the resentment of the people and their families, Arnold should kill Lancelot as a king without asking questions.
"I can understand it to make it a public execution. Some people may be resentful by seeing the execution. It also shows the resurrection of the Grand Flam Kingdom."
"... It wasn't like that."
They weeped each other and played a friendship play. Arnold's personal feeling does not seem to be killing.
"Listen to the suggestions around you, otherwise you have to move."
I don't intend to keep Lancelot alive. If the kingdom does not kill, just kill it with your own hands. This is why Leon heads to Tokio, the imperial capital.
"Is it Chandra?"
"... Huh"
One soldier came out of the line. Chandra from the Black Party.
"Ask Gordon for a message. Leave the eastern part and work with Ein to get the southern part in."
"Awareness"
"The rest is Lisa, do you know where you are?"
"Still north"
"Yet? I'm doing my best, but tell me to head south again.
"Roger that"
"... It's like this now.
Chandra starts running in response to Lion's words. Chandra himself does not go to the message. I just went to the nearby black party to give directions.
"I'm busy just after the fight, right?"
"But it's better than being bored, because the Imperial City will never fight in the meantime. I have to end what I need to do now."
"Yes"
◇◇◇
As Rion thought, the battle was not complete at all in Tokio, the imperial capital. Lancelot has deployed almost all troops in the Imperial City. There were few guards and the emperor was already captured. With the defeat confirmed, no soldiers were willing to marry the Great Alexandros Empire.
Tokio, the imperial capital, accepted the Grand Flam Kingdom Army with almost no resistance and became the Grand City of Grand Flam.
Arnold has been busy working in the royal capital. Even though the royal capital has regained it, this does not mean that the entire country has been restored. We need to take control of each place. But the army was not in the Grand Flam Kingdom. The army at hand is under 20,000. In this case, it is impossible to settle local areas. We had to start with the formation of the army.
That is not all. The royal capital also needed to be set up before the rural areas were set up. The outer and inner walls on the south side had collapsed. Restoration of it and removal of gunpowder left underground. The army was to be chased for this task.
As such, Lancelot and Maria's disposition will not be announced forever. Rion wasted time in the royal capital.
Rion, who could not bear it, thought about raising it once. You don't have to be in the royal capital to wait for the outcome of Lancelot and Maria.
As soon as it is passed on to the Grand Flam Kingdom, a new move emerges. It's about doing battles against the Great Alexandros Empire.
Why did that happen? I knew it by listening to the contents of the Nongong Award.
"I do not need it"
"Yes?"
Rion's insidious response is amazed by Prime Minister Seid.
"I don't need it"
"... It's the pinnacle of the Grand Fulham Army. Do you think it's worthy of this martial art?"
The reward announced by Prime Minister Sade was the rank of Grand Knight Knight Corps. Rion has nothing to do with, but he can only feel annoying.
"It doesn't matter to me if it's worth it. I don't need that status."
During this period, Rion is amazed by the kingdom that is still in bargaining. Knight Commander's position, which means to obey Arnold. Rion couldn't have wanted it. And the kingdom knows that he doesn't want it and is trying to impose it.
"But there is no comparable reward."
"It doesn't have to be comparable. I'm fine with everything else."
"... for example?"
I'll explore this time. What kind of reward is Leon convinced? And I want to know if it doesn't give me more power than necessary.
"Lancelot and Maria's neck. This is fine."
"……that is"
Prime Minister Sade showed hesitation. This reaction indicates that Rion's guess is correct. They should be executed as rebel masterminds. Rewarding the two heads is the same as giving nothing. Hesitating means that at least the kingdom of Glanfram is willing to kill either.
"I'll ask you clearly at this point. What will happen to Lancelot and Maria?"
"It's not decided yet."
"Is there no punishment for the rebel master? What other options are there besides execution?"
"... I'm collecting evidence that I'm a mastermind."
It's not a compelling excuse. They are the Emperor and Empress of the Empire. If it is not the mastermind, who is the mastermind? If there is a possibility,
"Is it just that the disposition of the woman has not been decided?"
Maria's responsibilities may be lessened because of the lower status of women. They don't have the authority, so they are lightly responsible. This is just a generality, and for Mary this common sense should not apply.
"No, both."
"Is the emperor not the mastermind?"
"It was the House of Winheels who struck the royal capital. It is said that the Great Alexandros Empire was founded to bring together confused territories."
Now, Prime Minister Seid calls the Great Alexandros Empire.
"Why didn't the Great Alexandros Empire surrender to the kingdom of Grande Flam? Is it ridiculous to ask such a question?"
Mr. Sade's explanation is nothing more than a strain on Lancelot's crimes. And you know that the kingdom of the Grand Fulham knows that it is a strain.
"Anyway, we haven't decided yet."
"Now, just make a decision. I want two heads. I'll ask you to accept this."
"That's ... I want some time."
Prime Minister Sade did not respond immediately. That's right. It cannot be decided at the discretion of Prime Minister Sade.
"Let me explain. Why don't you kill them?"
"... I have regained the royal capital, but the difficulties are still going on."
"Why?"
"Now we need as many talented people as possible. If it helps with recovery, we'll need to accept a bit of evil."
In this explanation, Rion was able to understand roughly. The Grand Flam Kingdom needs two people to make that knowledge their own. It wants to make the Grand Flam Kingdom a strong and prosperous country.
"I see. I understand."
"Your Majesty wants to help you. He wants you to help restore the Grand Fulham Kingdom, or even more."
Beyond Reichhard and Maria, the kingdom of the Grand Flam is seeking Lion. With Lion's martial arts, conspiracy, and political power, I'm convinced that the kingdom of Granfram will have more power than ever before.
"turn down"
"why!?"
Prime Minister Seid is surprised by Leon's refusal. The surprised Lion is more surprised.
"If you make a request, I'd like you to show me a reward. Then I'll let you decide whether to get it."
"Are you still mercenary with rewards?"
"Yet? I'm still a mercenary, but nothing to do, I'm just saying it's annoying to be asked for free service."
"It's for the Grand Flam Kingdom!"
"Why must I work for the Grand Flam Kingdom ?!"
Prime Minister Seid believes that Leon will work for the Kingdom of Granfram. This arrogance irritates Rion. After all, the kingdom of Granfram has not changed much. Rion's father, the age of the former king, is the same as he wants.
"You are a royal of the Grande Fram. You have a duty as royal."
Even without noticing the discomfort that spreads to Rion's heart, Prime Minister Seid pushes further on his obligations.
"Frey, born as a royal family, is dead. I am Lion."
Rion responds with a disgusted expression. I'm just amazed at the insensitivity that says the royal family now. Never before has the Grand Fulham Kingdom recognized Rion as a royal family. Luon is not raised as a royal family.
"Now it's okay to be Lion. Help us to rebuild the kingdom."
"... how many times do you get through? Why do I have to work for the Grand Flam Kingdom?"
"This country needs you. I want you to know that."
"... I understand that."
Having swallowed the word that he had to understand it, Rion decided to end the conversation. I know that no matter what I say, it's a waste of time.
Rion leaves. I swear I should avoid letting the Grand Fulham Kingdom be involved in my future decision.
But before Rion, who had just sworn, the person he was least interested in appears.
"... I've declined your offer now. I won't talk anymore."
Arnold appeared in front of Rion.
"Are you Prime Minister?"
"Oh, yes."
"I see ... if so, I'd love to hear from you."
"I'm not going to accept it"
I decided not to be involved in the Grand Flam Kingdom anymore. Even if it is the request of the king, Arnold, if he asks Arnold, even more, Leon will not listen.
"What I want to talk about is different."
But Arnold has said his story is different from that of Prime Minister Seid.
"What is different?"
"I can't talk here. Come to my room."
“…………”
"Don't be alarmed. The name king is going to be ashamed to speak his wish. I can't talk in the hallway."
Arnold despises himself. Ron never sees Arnold's attitude. So I wonder what Arnold is going to talk about.
"……All right"
"I'm sorry"
They walk down the hallway towards Arnold's room. Arnold and Rion are brothers who have blood, but this is the first time they've talked alone.
