Following the road that came the other way, Alicia and Clovis left the Elam River.
Return to the castle immediately and you may just bowl in with the nobleman pulling you up from the ball. For this reason, the two decided to squash their time for a while while while stopping by the street store, etc.
Some stores sell lanterns as if they were the first place to stop, while others handle accessories that are as easy to buy as the daytime market. Some of them serve things like hot wine and snacks, and they have an indescribable aroma that makes them appetizing, which attracts my heart.
As I went around like that, a familiar voice rang from behind me.
"You, Clo? So, is it... Huh!?"
Speaking of names, the young man rushes to cover his mouth properly with his hands. Still, there was a natural smile on Alicia's face at him expressing his surprise full of surprises in the upper half of his visible face.
"Ed! I can't believe I'm seeing you in this. How have you been?
"How have you been? Okay, hey."
A young man shouts in unintentional tones to Alicia, who happily raised her hand. Thus he is Edmond, the son of a glass craftsman, who guided Alicia everywhere when she first went on an inspection under the castle.
The Edmond boy, who was twelve at the time, has also grown completely and now works as an apprentice in an artisan workshop to inherit his father's trail. Such interaction with him continued secretly, whenever Alicia sometimes came out with patience under the castle.
It would be a consideration not to be noticed by the people around you. When Edmond quickly approached Alicia, it was there that he struck her in the ear.
"Hey, you okay? Even if a princess of a country is a festival, she's roaming around a place full of people from all over. That's just too dangerous."
"It's okay. The wrong one, something nobody noticed."
"There it is! Who said, 'Who's wrong now, a princess in my country? I don't know what you think! Damn, you look like you've grown all the time, but you're the same old lady..."
He answered with his chest stretched, but on the contrary, Edmond frightens me.
And as you two stood back and talked, Alicia's shoulder pulled from behind on the fence. That's how he kept Alicia subtly back to herself, while Clovis asked Edmond flatly.
"Aren't you with him? I think I heard before that the star festival is all about preparing lanterns and flushing them in the workshop."
"If the lantern flushes, I'm done. So, everybody's going to the liquor store first. I'm gonna go, too, but before I do, I'm gonna leave this in the workshop."
So he looked at the heavy looking cloth back hanging from his shoulder. According to Edmond, there are various tools inside. When I came to see the star festival, a craftsman I knew gave up tools for Edmond, an apprentice.
Then suddenly, Edmond hit Pong in the hand.
"That's right. Do you guys still have time? I want to show you something."
The two main servants, who looked at each other, immediately nodded and acknowledged. So I took to a glass workshop I had visited a long time ago about after Edmond, who went through the crowd in a familiar way.
It wasn't the artisans' workplace that Edmond led the two, it was the smaller shop on the front facing the street. Sesame groceries and figurines line up in the store, which makes the interior feel even narrower. However, the apparently cluttered way of exhibiting has a taste for rejection and seems to have been lost in the wizard's study.
Edmond explained with fire to Lantern that he handles small pieces other than flowing them to the Chamber of Commerce and the work of craftsmen he knows.
"So what about the dewstore your mother was putting out before?
"Oh. That's one of those pieces that apprentices like me made in practice, they collect good ones there and sell them oh well. It's not enough to sell the name of our workshop, but it's a waste of time to throw it away."
"I see. So you can buy Ed's too if you go to the market"
"Oh, hey, wait! If I can make it right, I'll show you guys first. Until then, you'll never see it."
In a slight panic, Edmond covers the door leading to the workshop behind him with his back. While wanting to see his work, which would be ahead of him, Alicia decided to put up with it for a moment, sparing Edmond's pride as an artisan.
"So, what do you want to show Clovis?
"Yeah, yeah, that's it. Here and there...... There it is!"
With a relieved look on his face, Edmond fishes through the counter. There was an elongated crate in his hand when he stood up after the sound of several items being removed.
"You had Crowe talking to me before. He said there are craftsmen who make interesting things. The other day, by chance, I had the opportunity to get to know the guy and bought him some for handling at our store. Here, take a look."
That said, Edmond takes the lid off the crate. Alicia glanced inside and found something unexpected there and raised her voice softly.
"Is this, like, a hundred glasses?
"Huh?"
Clovis and Edmond react simultaneously to an unexpected zero word. Next to Clovis blinking in the void, Edmond put his arms behind his head as impressed.
"Do you know Alicia too? Oh, now you've asked Cro. If it weren't for you, you wouldn't know about the workshop pieces that your grandfather in the country is cutting up."
"No. I have nothing..."
Answering, Clovis' eyes ask Alicia. So I didn't think I had told Clovis until I saw a hundred pairs of glasses in a dream I had met in my previous life or the use of the stars.
"Eh...... I've seen it before. More than that, how does Clovis know a hundred glasses? He said he's making it in his hometown?
"In the town of Kells, where I was born, there's a craftsman named Ford who makes it. In the town of Kells, Hundreds of Eyeglasses are familiar as a guardian of fortune, but there are few raw hate makers and now there is only one Ford workshop"
"Yes, it was."
Other than that, now it was Alicia's turn to be surprised.
I had heard from Clovis before that the Cromwell family is based in a small town called Kells on the outskirts of Marquis Maurice territory. But I never thought that was where the use of the stars said it was, the 'town in the countryside' where hundreds of glasses were made.
Clovis still has a strange look on his face, too. Naturally. According to earlier stories, hundred glasses are a fairly rare substitute and are not in circulation at all.
Later, should I explain what I saw of it in my previous life? When Alicia was troubled that way, Edmond, who was looking at the two alternately, laughed a little.
"That's what I'm gonna do. I'll give this to Crowe."
"What? Wait, you bought this as a product, didn't you?
Surprised Clovis takes her gaze off Alicia.
"Yes, I am. You told me, and this is not the one I bought. Besides, you said yourself that hundred glasses would protect you. Doesn't it hurt to have it to protect your precious princess?
"Then say the amount. At least let me buy it right"
"Don't make me feel bad. I'm telling you I'll do it, so be honest with me. I don't know, it's always a thank you for buying our stuff. Look, it's yours, so hold on tight!
Clovis looks troubled and receives a hundred glasses from Edmond. Alicia peered into it from next door, too, and the surface of the wooden barrel was rounded with carvings imitating delicate tsu, between which she could also see a fine rose pattern carved.
The pattern looks familiar. I had some dreams, no doubt about it.
This is the same as (...) Mi (...) Hundred Eyeglasses on (...) night (...) of (...).
"... well, you did"
What I remember is the memory just before I lost my life. Hundreds of glasses rolled in before Alicia lying in a sea of blood. I have never paid particular attention before, but I can only assume that someone who has boarded the castle has dropped it, more than it is Alicia's belongings.
And that's when Clovis led the revolutionary army into the midst of the starfrost. No wonder he was ready to put a hundred glasses in his nostalgia as a guardian to illuminate the future.
"Those hundred glasses, Clovis..."
I said, "What?
Alicia returned to me with a resounding voice. If you look to the side as a hack, Clovis looks at this one surprised again. In its eyes, there is a clearer suspicion than earlier.
Not good.
Aside from being the tenant who took Alicia's life in his previous life, he has not even told Clovis that he was at Egdiel Castle at Alicia's death. I mean, for him, it's impossible to have his belongings at the end of the day in itself.
"Mi, can I see it?
Alicia reaches for her hundred glasses before she can see everything through her purple eyes.
- The moment Alicia's finger touched the wooden barrel, I felt uncomfortable.
In the chest, a strange tremor occurs. It rushes instantly through the tip of his fingernails from his head and tries to force him to pull something out that sleeps deep. Don't look, don't peek, your whole body warns you.
But Alicia, desperate to deceive the occasion, could not come up with the option of turning the discomfort forward.
A cylinder taken up by his right hand is raised in front of him so that it can be sucked in.
That's how the world turned.
In the mirror pieces, the finely cut world changes shape. Each time, a clear, high sound sounds like a brilliant star glow trapped intact in the sky.
When the world turned large, there was a response. The feeling that the things to be fit into the tocoro to be.
As soon as possible, Alicia's body began to fall rapidly.
A number of thin light muscles flow up from the bottom, unlike Alicia, who falls. The light grew more and more, as if it had been swallowed up by a group of meteors.
When she noticed, Alicia stood on a hard marble floor. I remember the crisp air, the tense tone that resonates from afar, and the bronze statues staring at this one with their temperatureless eyes.
It was during the starfrost.
and that's when the shock runs like something hit Alicia's chest. If I dropped my gaze, a blunt, shining sword pierced my chest deeply, from which there fell zero red blood. But wonder and wounds never hurt, and I felt comfortable watching what was happening in some distant world.
"Poisonous Rose of the Dungeons."
A familiar voice echoes with an inaudible voice. Alicia even felt nostalgic when she followed the tip of the blade with her eyes and saw Clovis in her previous life there.
"This is the result of falling in love, clouding the eyes of the heart, and turning away from the people. In the afterlife, I regret my sins.
Laying on a cold marble, Alicia calmly takes the word. At the end of Alicia's gaze as she looked up, Clovis muddled the blood on her sword with the hem of a cloak that clung to her, somewhere painfully distorted her expression.
But as soon as he erased his expression, he looked back at the other men.
"King Fritz is ahead of us. Probably going to escape outside through the waterway. But until we drag out the king of usurpation, the people will not subside. Follow him and end the riot!
"Oh, my God.
Several people with swords rush to Clovis' call. Clovis and the other were the only ones ahead to look up because some of them ran right after Alicia fell.
A man wearing leather gloves only on his left hand asked Clovis.
"Do you want me to take the queen's head? That might cut the king's temper to run, too.
"Keep your hands off this one.
Clovis' voice, sharply returned, is stiff. The man also flaunts his shoulder at the words thrown at him without even glancing at him.
"Come on, don't hesitate to kill me."
"This one draws the blood of his predecessor, descendant of the Chester family. He was the last person to be hopeful. - In a place like this, you weren't the one who should have died for this reason.
"But I killed him. After all, I couldn't be called" hope, "because I was finished.
The name of Princess Blue Rose is ironic now, too. That's what the man said and loosened his lips. The opposing Clovis does not answer that, but re-grips the sword before stepping out.
"Let's go. It's troublesome if you don't make it...... Huh!?
Clovis, breathing in his lid, lays his sword as he turns around. There, the swords were struck in, sounding the heavy noise of metal hitting each other.
It was the man I was talking to earlier who struck the sword in my hand. In front of Alicia, who can't grasp the situation, Clovis throws a sharp glance at the back of the hall, sending another blow that has been struck in. Alicia opened her eyes when she was followed.
The men thought to have gone ahead, one after the other, jump out of the shadow of the pillars. The men who were following Clovis' call also set up their swords in haste, but were struck with swords before the system was in place, spraying blood and falling down.
What the hell is going on?
Confused Alicia shakes her head loose with incredible thoughts. In the meantime, the men lay themselves on the ground with their groans. Clovis screams as he confirms it sideways, accepting the sword.
"Why...! You are……………
You're not from this country.
For the first time, the voice of a man mixes with that of Aardar.
Alicia screamed. No, I tried to scream. But Alicia's thin throat never uttered a voice, and when it came to being able to do so, it was only to watch another sword struck from behind pierce Clovis' body.
From Clovis' mouth, a bright red mass of blood spills. The moment he was about to get on his knees, which made it harder to support his body, a man grabbed the hair. Distorted by pain, but desperately focused, Clovis stares at the man.
On the neck, a man attached a sword.
"Bring King Fritz safely back to Aardhar with the (...) movement (...) of the (...) who induced (...) and (...) the (...). That is the role given to me by Master Yugdrasil. I don't have any grudges against you, but I'm sorry.
A man draws his sword.
My vision turned red.
Alas, Alicia stared at Clovis falling in front of her. Except for the unlikely paleness of the living, a brilliant face is as if he were asleep. and something fell off his chest, rolling by the way. It stopped right around the corner. That was those hundred glasses.
Without being able to say anything, Alicia looked at Hundred Eyeglasses and looked at Clovis again.
From his eyes, a glimmer of tears fell.
Clovis. Clovis.
Don't move, Alicia stretches out desperately.
My vision is distorted and my cheeks are wet with tears.
Clovis. Clovis.
Quiet, cruel. Red blood spreads across the marble.
Still, Alicia, in her whitened head, diligently calls his name.
I don't want you to die. I want you to live. I want you to laugh. I want you to speak up.
Clovis. Clovis. Clovis. Clovis - -.
"Don't die!! Clovis!!!!!!!!!"
"Alicia!!"
Alicia's consciousness was pulled back once and for all by the ringing voice that jumped into her ear on the fence. Stick to what was right in front of you, and it was clothes Clovis would wear. And with the warm feeling of wrapping her body around, Alicia found herself in his arms.
Looking out through the gap, a gaze was exchanged with the blue-blue Edmond.
"What's the matter, you... It's like I'm suddenly possessed by something..."
"Alicia."
Block Edmond's words and Clovis calls his name. Alicia pressed her ear against Clovis' chest. That's how I looked for proof that he was alive.
One tear after another fell from Alicia's large, empty eyes. A pale face, a hand thrown out without strength, a red sea spreading over a cold marble, burned on his lid, and he could not leave.
Alicia shook her lips as she clung to Clovis.
"Don't die, Clovis. I don't like it. If you die, I don't like it..."
"I'm here. - It's okay, Alicia. I'm right here."
The power of her arms embracing Alicia makes her stronger. Clovis' words slowly penetrate his entire body, unwinding Alicia's body frozen in fear.
He's alive. The feeling finally fell into my chest.
"-... Huh!"
Alicia cried. He pushed his voice to death, shook his whole body, and kept crying. Clovis was holding her during that time. But even as he took Alicia, his own lost eyes were shaking.
- Hundred glasses were rolling on my desk without telling me anything.
