Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

When the curtain rises, at night.

There were several stars blinking in the sky.

Suddenly, the night sky appeared on the stage, and a big tremor rose from the guest seat.

There was a wall at the bottom of the star's sea.

The blurry light eventually brings the focus together and slowly illuminates the walls.

There were three shadows on the dark walls without lights.

A man with a steep face staring straight at him with a magnificent body.

The golden crown was on his head.

Demigal, king of the Mulboard Kingdom.

Torque plays.

Behind them are two men following each other as if they were shadows.

The sound of the wind sounds from somewhere.

King Demigal's hair swayed in the wind.

"Garaine. Deg."

With a low but often passing voice, King Demigal called out the names of his men.

"Look at the poor land of my Mulbud kingdom."

That's how I waved my arms towards the guest seat.

With that momentum, I flipped the cloak on my back.

"The thin, narrow lands of the mountains. There are just as thin a people there."

King Demigal distorted his face.

"Every year, every year, I pray to God to make it through the winter safely, but still one in five will not make it through the winter."

"Great King Demigal. It's not the king's fault."

Deg shouted behind him.

"Though it is a thin land, it was inherited from my father. Our Mulboard people have preserved this land for generations to come."

The neighboring Garaine nodded silently at the words.

But King Demigal waved for the first time.

"Ancestors?"

The voice sounded ironic.

"And will you protect this skinny land to our children?"

King Demigal looked back at his men.

Have you ever been? Deg, Garaine "

That said, he turned around and looked beyond the guest seat, far away.

"It seems that neighboring Geibel is a rich place. I don't have any trouble eating in winter."

"I've never been there, but I've heard of it."

Deg answers.

"I wonder if it's a rich land."

"The rest take Geibel."

King Demigal said.

"The battle is near. Garaine, don't let the army get ready."

"How dare you, king!"

Deg speaks up.

"There is no fault in the Kingdom of Gabel. The battle is not a battle with God. Victory is not in vain."

"I know."

King Demigal replied.

"Invite Amor, King of Gabel, to my castle."

That's how you smile.

"It's not the end of the season. Decorate your banquet with luxury."

King Demigal said in a low voice to the two men who could not read the king's intentions and looked at each other.

"I have another idea. Create the drop of Geibel."

King Demigal's cloak flies as the wind blows on the stage.

"The Mulboard people will no longer starve in the winter."

King Demigal said forcefully.

"The rest will change the destiny of the people."

Deg and Garaine kneeling like they were struck by that power.

Darkening.

"Good."

Wallis taps Almark and Wendy on the shoulders after finishing the show.

"It's a smooth slide."

"Thank you."

Almark answers.

In this scene, Almark focused on bringing the wind to the stage.

Not too strong, not too weak.

Make sure your hair and cape feel impressive as the torque moves.

Wendy did everything else.

And the light of the stars in the night sky.

The light that illuminated the three torques, and the final darkening.

"Good day, Almark."

Wendy smiles at Almark.

That was just the way it was.

"Yeah."

Almark nodded.

"Wendy's right, too. It was perfect."

The first night sky where the curtain rose was also an important performance to capture the hearts and minds of the audience.

Wendy carefully reproduced it to the stars famous in the night sky. Until now, I lost my magic and couldn't believe I was sleeping in the infirmary.

"I'm glad the customers are happy."

Wendy nods happily.

"But it was amazing, the power of the torque."

Wendy whispered in silence.

"Like a real king."

"Yeah. Torque has the qualities of leading people."

Almark answered.

"The words spoken by torque are powerful."

"Yeah."

Wendy nods.

"I think so too."

You two stare at the stage side by side.

And Wendy muttered as she remembered.

"Ah, I have to go help Norish."

Ah.

Almark nodded.

That's important.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Wendy waved small to Almark and ran behind the scenes.

The scene changes.

The imperial castle of the Mulboard Kingdom.

It is the occasion to invite King Amor of the Kingdom of Gabel to a banquet.

Almark glanced at the guest seat from the stage sleeve.

It seems that the audience is already in full view of the play. Slightly back in the middle, Fiquet opens his mouth in half and leaves to stare at the stage.

That's a good response.

King Amor, who plays Reido, leads Deg into a banquet.

King Amor is a bright and gorgeous costume worthy of a king ruling a rich country, compared to the dark shades of King Demigal's costume.

The contrast is obvious to the audience, whispering from the guest seat, Ah, King Amor.

It is probably because this story is so popular. In the name of the two kings of Demigal and Amor alone, most of the audience immediately understood the story.

Have everyone in the class appear in the play.

And so that there are too many characters to confuse the audience, choose a legend that everyone knows about the subject of the story.

Did you calculate that much?

Almark once again wrapped his tongue around the completion of Curime's script.

King Amor lowered his hips to the recommended chair in a truly elegant and sophisticated motion compared to King Demigal, who had a crude impression of a samurai.

There is no role for the maids to decorate the banquet, so let the female shadow dance to the stage with a magical performance.

Buyers and Seraha are in charge of the production.

Both of them have been practicing on the boulders, moving the shadows without hesitation, as if the maids were moving around between their seats.

As the shadow stopped moving, King Demigal stood up heavily.

"Unchanged friendship between the two countries."

And lift up the glass, and behold King Amor.

King Amor lifted the glass and responded to it.

The gesture was full of elegance, and the guest seat sighed.

"Raido, it's more aristocratic than aristocratic."

Someday Morgan, who was next to Almark, whispered that to him.

"Torque used to take Rado out of the Kings' operation."

"Yeah."

Almark nods remembering that one day Raidow didn't come home for lunch.

"At that time, it seems that the torque thoroughly knocked the nobleman's body into Reido."

Heh.

Almark watched.

Torque?

Torque, who looked down on a civilian student with intense pride as a nobleman, taught Reido, a civilian, what a nobleman did.

Surprise.

Almark nods at Morgan's words.

"Yeah, if it's the torque we met. But I feel like I can understand the torque."

Everybody's changing.

Me, Wendy, Morgan.

Torque.

King Demigal secrets his ambition and turns his smile toward King Amor.

It was like another figure of torque that was always irritating and rebelling against something.
