Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

On that day, the royal capital was enveloped in an incomprehensible complex atmosphere.

The public execution of Vincent Woodville, a royal family of Winheels, which had been announced two weeks ago. It happens today.

Some are just looking forward to the public execution as a show, others are reluctant to see the death of a person as a show, and others frown upon knowing that they are only young adults being executed.

The mixed feelings of the people of the royal capital are mixed, and the royal capital has an unusual atmosphere.

But those who know know. The anomalous atmosphere of the royal city is not the only cause. The presence of a disturbing smell mixed there.

And it was due to the fact that dubious movements began to be seen in the royal capital from this announcement until this day.

Those who felt it were more nervous than the rest of the population.

◇◇◇

A young man rushed into a building in a corner of the back town.

"How was it?"

The person waiting inside calls out immediately.

"I checked it out in advance. It's possible to go under the security net."

"The problem is afterwards. Can you secure Vincent and then escape safely?"

Vincent's rescue. This is their purpose. To this end, they have been moving around the royal capital in preparation for the last two weeks.

"It's hard to take hard measures, but if you break through the security around the execution ground and get out into the city, there's no way out."

"That's right. I've actually made that arrangement."

"Still, it's not absolute. There is a good chance that this will cost you."

Here one of us suddenly spoke cautious words. There is no perfect plan. This concern, albeit reasonable, is unlikely to be said at this time, just before implementation.

"I know it."

"Is it worth it to take the risk?"

That was what I wanted to hear. He doesn't feel the need to carry out Vincent's rescue, even if he puts his friends at risk.

"I think I'm there. He treats us indifferently, without such aristocrats."

"I've heard that, but he's no longer a Houman, isn't he losing his power?"

"Vincent's power isn't all that of the parents. He's the person who should stand on his person."

"I don't know. It was the rumor of being the biggest dropout in the family."

Have you ever seen Vincent? This is where the differences of opinion come from.

"I think there are two ways to stand on a person, one to let people around by their power, and one to be carried around."

"Vincent is the latter?"

"There is a sad part, but it's also pretty. Vincent has something that makes me think he wants to do something.

"... I see. Let's go see him."

The man broke easily. It wasn't heard with the thought of stopping the plan.

"Did you understand?"

"I'm not going to stop the plan from the beginning. I just wanted to hear your resolution at the end."

"Oh, my determination is determined. I will spare my life for him."

It is one of the Kingdom Academy students who is trying to rescue Vincent with such a strong feeling. One of the students who became acquainted with Vincent and came to think that Vincent was the portable shrine that he needed to carry.

He is also one of the rebels that Vincent and Eriel protected. In fact, it is an exaggeration such as a rebel molecule. They were worried about the kingdom's present and were only seriously thinking about what was needed to improve the future.

It just happened to contradict the way the kingdom should be. The question of state treason with this is the first step in the inspection department. In the discussion alone, they had taken no action.

They are about to take action. For Vincent, behave just as if you were charged with national treason.

Vincent was attractive enough to make them do this. It would be so. Vincent is the only person in the world that Rion has largely recognized in the true sense. This is true even in the future.

◇◇◇

There is a high fence between the execution site and onlookers. A high fence that could not be reached at all if it was a shoulder. There are gaps in the fence that allow you to see the execution, but the gaps are short and not wide enough for children to pass through.

In addition, it is severe that guard knights are lined up at regular intervals along the fence. If a member of the Hou family is also executed for state treason, a heavyweight, including the king, will attend. Don't be afraid.

There is no gap in guarding around the execution site. Except for one point. It's the only chance found by those trying to rescue Vincent.

It is time for a public execution to take place soon. By the time Vincent appears. Knowing that, the onlookers are getting nervous somehow.

And that time has finally come. Vincent pulled out of the building just behind the execution table. Both hands and feet are linked by a chain. That is not all. A collar is also attached, and the chain extending from the collar is connected to the chain at the foot. The chains are probably short. Naturally, the head turns down and walking seems cramped.

Despite being a sinner, it does not seem like a treatment for a member of the Marquis.

The student of the commoner who actually saw the figure had a sudden rise of blood on his head and dyed his face red.

"Well, that way."

"Calm down, act calmly"

"I know. I know."

"I'll go anyway. This is a great opportunity."

Those who were hiding behind the scenes start moving at once. The number is about ten. They may be well prepared, but the number of raids is too small. The failure is visible even if about 10 amateurs fight.

Earlier, the moment he was about to rush to his destination, a man appeared and blocked his way.

"You should stop it"

"what?"

"The trap ahead is a trap."

"What ?!"

"Your soul and boldness are in the kingdom."

"……even if that were true"

Even if you know it ’s a trap. He was a boy who tried to show himself, but he wasn't allowed.

"It's wasted too. It seems you've already noticed. Well, at best, I'll do my best and run away."

The man who suddenly appeared said this last and ran away as it was. Those who are left.

"Catch it! The trap has been broken!"

"All members charge! Secure the rebels!"

The voice heard from the front had no choice but to escape. Vincent's rescue operation was unsuccessful and unsuccessful.

◇◇◇

"What is that fuss about?"

The king is on the third floor of a building looking directly at the execution table. Perhaps because of being in a high place, the noise on the left, diagonally forward and left, when viewed from the execution table, can be heard well. I was worried about it and asked the commander of the Knights of the Guard. As long as the King is present, guarding the area is the role of the Knights of the Guard.

"Probably both rebels"

"Rebel? Do you mean you came to help?"

"It's like no way."

"Is that true?"

"I don't understand the meaning of your question."

Vincent's charge was a state treason, instigating commoners and trying to slam into the kingdom. It is nothing more than a fact from the beginning to the commander of the Guard Knights.

The Knight's reply implies to the King that this is the case. In short, he advised to refrain from inadvertent remarks.

"……Are you OK?"

"I expected a raid, so I set a trap. That means I was caught by that trap."

"Yes, then the execution continues as it is."

"Wish"

The commander of the Guard Knight sends a signal by hand to the knight waiting under his eyes. The knight confirmed this and instructed the executioner to continue.

Vincent is chained down and steps down the steps leading up to the execution table. Suddenly there is a roar of a large audience from the front.

I thought it was a reaction to the execution, but it wasn't. Many of the attendees who turn their eyes to the direction of the roar will be skeptical.

The fence is almost the same height as the third floor on which we sit. I could see a figure jumping over it lightly. The figure with his sword with both hands stretched out to the side just fell down inside the fence.

"It's a raider!

Immediately, the commander of the Guard Knight, who issued a command to guard, is truly. Even the knights, standing near the fence, were stunned by so much happening.

The knights also return to me with the shout of the Guard Knight. He drew his sword and slashed at his back, standing down in front of him.

"Now !?"

In the next sight, the attendees, including the king, were also greatly surprised. The knights attacked by the assailants were blown back one after another.

Meanwhile, the assailants are not turning around. I'm just walking slowly towards the execution table.

"Who is that?"

"Recall the knights who followed the rebels immediately!

The commander of the Guard Knight prioritized ordering his men over the answer to the King's question. Even for the commander of the Guard Knights, the sight shown was shocking.

In the meantime, the assailant's walk has not stopped. Naturally, the knight tries to stop it, but all of it cannot be approached and is blown away.

"Knight leader! Who is that!"

There is no doubt that the assailants are using magic. It is not an ordinary rebel. So, in the eyes of the king, who was who?

The assailant's hair is unusual black hair, and no such aristocrat knows the king. The king knew that the only black-haired person he knew was on the lower floor.

A king who excels at magic that he does not know. In the first place, the existence of such a thing is strange.

"... Rion"

It was Prince Arnold who answered the king's question.

"Who is it !?"

"... I'm a former servant of Vincent."

"A servant? @Whose house?"

If you are a follower of the Winheels, it is usually a child of a dependent noble family. So the king asked Prince Arnold.

"I'm told you're from Favela."

"Is that stupid !?"

Prince Arnold's answer was astonishing to the King. This surprise means that the king did not know about Leon.

Leon is the opponent of Prince Arnold who was worried about its existence. The father, the king, did not know this. He did not know, but decided to dispose of Vincent and Eriel.

This fact made Prince Arnold's breasts aware of this complicated.

"Is the mage squad still !?"

While the King and Prince Arnold were in conversation, the Knights of the Guard were instructing one after another to stop Rion. If the opponent uses magic, this is also magical. That's the mage squad, but that mage squad isn't nearby.

The rebels are trapped. On the other hand, the assailants had decided that they were powerless ordinary people. It just curses your defensiveness.

But I can't help regretting. You just have to stop getting Vincent.

The commander of the knight began thinking about whether to move himself.

Meanwhile, Rion has already reached Vincent. Magically break the chain that binds Vincent so that he can move, and then hand one of his swords.

"alright, let's go"

"Rion ... why is this unreasonable?"

Vincent doesn't want to move on Rion's voice. With sad eyes, she spoke words that condemned Rion's actions.

"To help Vincent."

"Rion, that's useless."

"Why!?"

Leon never thought that Vincent would say this.

"My execution has been decided by His Majesty. It cannot be disobeyed by His Majesty."

"Is that stupid !? The king is wrong! Why is he obeying the wrong command?"

Rion understands Vincent's desire to be a child of the Hou family, but she is not convinced.

"Because it is His Majesty's order!"

Vincent responds with a rough voice. It's not about anger, but about excitement.

"The king is making mistakes!"

"But I still have to obey His Majesty! To escape here is to turn against His Majesty! That is not allowed!"

"Why !?"

"Because I am a member of the House of Winheels! I have an obligation to be an example of a noble as one of the Houses of the Three Houses!"

"So what's the point of dying then? Is that acceptable?"

Rion has forgotten to use honorifics. I want Vincent to live as a person, not as a follower.

Vincent has that feeling. Vincent cannot escape because it is transmitted.

If he escapes, Leon knows he'll spend his whole life trying to escape. Vincent did not want to do that.

"Meaningful! I've always been a fellow of the Hou House! I've always been told I'm not worthy of the Hou House!" That's why I have the mean! I want to die! Rion should know this feeling better than anyone! "

"... I know that. I know, but what is it !? I didn't serve you Winch Heels! Vincent! I served because you are!"

Vincent himself is more important to Leon than Vincent's pride.

"Rion ..."

I've known this feeling for a long time, but I'm still happy that Vincent's words aren't enough for Vincent.

"Please live! No matter who you are !! If you were alive, I would ..."

It was not possible for Rion to continue the words any more. There are still many enemies around. Even though he knew it, Rion was unable to move down with the tears of overflowing tears.

Contrary to Rion, Vincent has endured tears that are about to overflow by turning upwards. A shadow was reflected in the blurred view of Vincent.

"Thank you, Rion. You are the most important to me, the only true friend of my life. So ... I live for you!"

"Now !?"

Rion is suddenly thrown away by Vincent and falls from the execution table. Rion stood up trying to complain about what to do.

It was Vincent, who had her whole body cut by magic and still smiling at Leon.

"Ri, Rion, and, as a friend, ..., sir, my, ne, hear your wishes ... will you give me?"

"Vincent?"

"Well, my sister ..., d, Eal ..., happy ..."

Vincent slowly fell back, unable to keep his words to the end. In a hurry, Leon jumps on the execution table and hugs Vincent's body.

"Vincent?"

Vincent was no longer answering the call.

"Vincent !?"

Even if you hug it hard, you can't feel the heartbeat or breath. Vincent was already dead.

"Wow, wow--!"

A sad scream piercing the listener's chest resounded in the execution hall.

A gigantic water spear that was relentlessly fired at Rion.

Rion caught on with Vincent's body, simply holding his hand up. A giant water spear flashed out of Rion's arm in an instant.

"That's it !?"

"Maria! Don't be sympathetic! Fight with all your strength!"

Maria is surprised by her own magic and Lancelot's manifestation flies. Elwin is also visible next to it. With the arrival of the Mage delayed, the Lancelots were ordered to use the magic to help them.

However, the support of the three was completely counterproductive.

"... I will not forgive you .... I will not forgive you ... I will never forgive you!"

A burning flame of hatred. A flame that burns red like fresh blood runs around Rion's body, even though the frayed entity originally had no hatred for the world.

"Receive the anger of the dragon! @ Tornado!"

Then, Elwin's wind-type magic hit Rion with tremendous speed. However, even before the tornado touches Rion, it flashes with a flash of a sword, leaving a tremendous impact sound.

"With this amount of power, I was able to aim for the successor of the Winheels House. Your magic is not as good as Airiel's feet. Even Vincent is one step higher than you!"

"Such an idiot ..."

In addition, huge magic attacks Rion. A fire that looked like a phoenix attacked from above. Superlative magic transmitted to the Highland royal family. It's Phoenix. The King himself did not release it. The magic of Prince Arnold.

A flame that pours overhead, as if swallowing Rion from a beak. Rion burns out without leaving any ashes-it should have been.

After the flame was extinguished, what they were seeing was--in the center of the fluttering dragon-shaped flames and a water statue resembling a spearman, The figure of Rion standing as if there was no.

The only change is that the left eye, which looks as if the flame is burning, clearly appears.

"... odd eye"

This word, which everyone knows, was muttered from someone's mouth. But nobody knows that anyone with an odd eye can use magic.

Even more, he uses multiple attributes of fire and water.

While most were stunned, it was the Guard Knight who moved. The Knight of the Guard, who had been descending downstairs, pulled out his sword and attacked Rion himself. The appearance is just a gale. The Knights of the Guards are quickly closing down with Rion.

Swung sword. Rion managed to prevent it with a sword in her hand, but couldn't kill it at that moment, but blew broadly sideways and was slammed into the ground.

The commander's sword was shot into Rion, who had fallen.

"wait!!"

If the voice of the king's control does not fly.

Instead of the sword being driven, the foot of the commander of the Guard Knight pierces Rion's belly. Moaning and rolling Rion into a prone position, she rides on it, stabilizes, and then places a sword on her neck.

"Freeze"

I can't move without being told. The difference in power is so overwhelming that even Rion, who has forgotten me in anger, can cool down at once. Rion knew his immaturity.

"I'm sorry to kill him! Sin is sin, but it's done by the heart of loyalty that went too far! I'm too pitiful to make up for my life! I'll do it! "

"... Huh!"

The response of the Knights of the Guard was slightly delayed because the king was unusual. I know I'm still alive. However, the prison tower is a place where high-ranking people, such as royalty and nobles, are held. It doesn't fit with Leon.

Nevertheless, the commander of the Royal Guard only obeys the command of the King. Leon is to be captured in a prison tower inside the castle.
