“Lisana Rickman." - Indeed, that's what Mr. Lisa was called.
"Maricias of the Curtain Clan said. What do you mean, you took Lisa back, that it was Mr. Lucius's only stain... you took her back? I mean..."
I kept talking as I went through my thoughts.
"I mean, if that Rickman clan is doomed, is Mr. Lucius involved in it or something like that?
Mr. Lucius then gently raised the left corner of his mouth, with a slight grin.
"Even if it's appropriate, I'll say it, right? Masamune-kun has now unconsciously read my emotions and discussed them with reference. And the answer to that question is… it's a little different, let's just say."
What, is that a hassle?
"But what you call“ stories like that ”would include. I brought back a dying Lisana, still young, from the burnt down and doomed Rickman family hall. I do have something to do with it, too. And… I can also say that it was the beginning"
"Beginning?"
But Mr. Lucius blocked the conversation from going back to the first question.
"So that magic of Lisana is not abyss magic,"
Then I take my seat, and I head to the world mirror again, Mr. Lucius.
But it seemed like he was running away from the conversation.
But would this man behave so openly?
While I put my elbows on the table, I thought deeply about connecting those few answers and looking at the whole picture.
Still, only that question remains as to what the Rickman clan is.
Magic is as powerful as the Demon Clan, and the knowledge of witchcraft is deep. The Great Demon Supervisors... but that's not all I know.
"The answer is surprisingly simple. Everything makes sense and there's a reason."
You felt my emotions, Mr. Lucius, and suddenly I tell you something that doesn't make sense.
But Mr. Lucius, who had told me to ask anything until earlier, for some reason turned to the mirror and did not try to answer clearly.
Probably...
"Is this a story you don't want to answer?
"... or as Maricias said. Of course I don't have any regrets about rescuing Lisa and taking her home. But I'm sure this is my stain..."
"I don't know why you don't want to say it"
'Cause it has something to do with Toa, too.'
"Huh?"
An answer that is abruptly informed.
But what the hell does that have to do with anything?
"I'm going to tell you everything. After thinking about it, I decided so. I already told Elektra to talk to you. About Toa, about the demon kingdom. And... about my mistakes."
"Fault......"
But Mr. Lucius said he had no regrets about bringing Mr. Lisa back.
"Let's leave it at this much for today..."
But at that time, Mr. Lucius, who had said that he would tell everything, tried to force him to end the conversation.
"Huh? But you haven't heard the story yet, have you? If it has anything to do with Toa, it's the most important thing to me!
But Mr. Lucius doesn't turn around and doesn't try to face me.
"I need some time..."
"Time? What time is it? You decided to tell me, didn't you?
"Time to be ready..."
I'm not ready for it yet - that's what Mr. Lucius said.
But I felt like it was just a matter of time.
This man is a demon king, but he's not hard enough on the inside to be called a demon king.
Does this man want to be saved somewhere? I even felt that way.
But if I don't ask, I don't tell you anything, and even if I do, I immediately cloud my words. That's the state. I know it's only a matter of time, but I probably won't talk to you today.
I sigh and decide to convince myself.
"Okay. In the meantime, it's just good to know that Mr. Lisa has nothing to do with the abyss. We also know that Lisa is the strongest man in the human world, the only survivor of a clan like Rickman. Good to know that. To a certain extent, my doubts cleared up."
"- Not the only one"
At that time, Mr. Lucius suddenly shrugged, blocking my words.
"Huh?"
"Not the only survivor"
"That's..."
I kind of felt like that was, I mean, Mr. Lucius', unwanted story (,,,,,,).
"I mean, besides Mr. Lisa, is there a Rickman clan?
"I'm not interested in humans. But I'm not ignorant, I was always gathering information. To the best of my knowledge, there are currently five Rickman blood clans, including Lisa"
"Five?!
You got four more?
"That means you're in the demon kingdom, right?
But Mr. Lucius doesn't answer my question.
"Mr. Lucius?
"... you know the man too"
"What, I know? ……
“You know too”... who? What a name Rickman...... no, I do think I heard it somewhere......
"That's probably the mistake I made... but I didn't know. I didn't know there were any survivors besides Lisa."
"Well, I don't think we have a choice. Well, what the hell does Mr. Lucius regret? If Lisa and her family are still alive, that would be a happy thing for Lisa, wouldn't it?
But Mr. Lucius doesn't tell you why he regrets his feelings.
"When I... found out he existed, he was already in the world. At that time, I didn't regret it. I was happy, and I thought I'd let Lisa see me. But now all I can think about is such a late regret that if I had found it, maybe this hadn't happened."
Mr. Lucius' mind, which should have been so calm and emotionless, became emotional when he realized, disturbed, and I had also stopped sensing.
"Who the hell are you talking about?
I had no idea.
"His name is..."

- Razhausen, Wang capital.
Due to the Empire's twofold raids, there is no longer a peaceful air in this country like before.
There was an air of urgency and fear that the empire would appear again.
- It's a fence located above the main entrance.
The equally spaced guards stared at the plains from there and monitored the trends of all those visiting the country.
"Don't fail to guard. Not necessarily when the empire will appear. They're not gonna stick with our predictions, are they? Think he'll show up at the moment of alarm, remember his liver."
A fence surrounding Wang Du. A wall of 360 degrees was protecting this country.
And the White King Knights. Captain - Reinhardt Rickman had told all guards to strengthen their security themselves and were walking on the fence.
And when Reinhardt looks away, the guard starts talking in vain again, as usual.
There were also two more here, the appearance of guards who started talking nonsense.
"Master Reinhardt... isn't that cool?
"Well, you're the leader of the White King Knight, so that's right, isn't it?
"Well, that's not a reason, then, is it?
"Huh?"
"Then what? If it's cool, why don't you be captain? That means you can be me, too, right?
"What are you talking about? Of course you can't, can you? Whatever. You're a muscled dude."
"Knock it off!... Speak for yourself..."
Then the guard ridiculed me, as I recall there,
"With that said, Mr. Reinhardt's last name was definitely Rickman, wasn't it?
And keep talking in vain.
"That's not that Rickman, is it?
"" That Rickman "? What the hell?
"So it's that Rickman, isn't it? Don't you know? Rickman clan. No, they used to hear you when you were little, didn't they?“ Hide your hands and keep your head down when you meet Rickman ”?
"... Oh, that Rickman? It's not translated, is it? When the hell do you think we're talking about this? Whatever he thinks, he's too young, isn't he? No, he's not. Plus, I can find as many guys with the same last name as I want. Occasionally."
"No, how old the hell is that guy? You look pretty young..."
"Sure it doesn't look like it? I heard that you came to this country with a bunch of refugees, right? That was about 20 years ago or something..."
"20 years ago... So you're over 20..."
"That's what you're doing, right? I'm not a teenager. I don't... I don't give a shit about that."
At that time, the sirens of "Emergency Convening" rang during the Wang capital.
The two look up into the sky and look over the town from the fence for something.
That means a compulsory summons order to the knights of the whole kingdom.
And this siren was used for the first time and was unusual since this country put up peace for the world.
- And in front of the royal palace.
Below the large staircase leading to the Royal Palace - the square. kingdom knights assembled indoors.
There was the appearance of the White King Knights, and of course of Sierra.
"Sudden convocation, I am very sorry"
by King Arnold, the reason for the summons, which is immediately informed.
"It's sudden for everyone and they'll be surprised what it is. I'm sorry about that."
And the king finished his short foreboding, and told him to go straight in.
"There is one White King knight. I hereby announce the expulsion of Reid Black."
The news is that Reid has already been deported from the country and is no longer in the King's Capital.
"Under the command of the White King Knight, I made my final judgment"
One, Reid, who was becoming unusually aggressive and violent about the war, had no choice but to deport him from the country.
Arnold told the knight of the kingdom so and showed his understanding of those gathered.
Until then, Arnold revealed the names and appearance of all the White King knights that had not been hidden, but had not been revealed.
It also contains a declaration to the effect that the White King knights assembled here have no will for war.
And what plots the war was a half-powerful thing: punishing him for exile from the country, like Reid.
But the people have not been informed.
It is the knights of the kingdom that are gathering.
- That was the current situation in this country today.
In other words, the idea of agreeing to war for the entire kingdom knight is the first time in its life.
As a deterrent, Arnold published Reid's deportation here.
"There can be no such thing as conspiracy. I'm always watching you! There can be no war! Once you get your hands on it, you can't turn back anymore. The symbol of peace will collapse, and the" eternal peace ", which the kings of history have long built and even recognized by other nations, will disappear. Then there will be no peace in this country ever again"
King Arnold glanced at all the knights gathered there, "Ask now once," he prefaced, "Still want war? asked."
The glance was awesome, enough to give them awe.
