Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"By the way, about Eleanor-Diffon."

It wasn't until once the story was over that Leongand had cut it out that way.

Time doesn't stand so much. But the Phalia, who would be garrisoned outside the room, were terribly quiet. Maybe it worked that Maria got mad at me, or maybe she moved the place. Setuna, who couldn't even move from the top of the bed, had no choice.

"What's wrong with Elenia?

"I was going to ask your opinion on her disposition."

"Her disposition......?

"That's right. Did you hear about Eleanor-Diffon being held captive as the perpetrator of the attempted assassination of Setuna Lars-Enjour?

"Yes."

Although I nodded, I could have imagined her being captured, even if I hadn't heard. After realizing that the servant was Elenia-Diphone, he was stabbed. The fact that Setuna is alive only means that she was either captured or killed. I hated Setsuna so much by then. I can't imagine running away somewhere satisfied with just a dagger stab in the flank, etc.

"It's an assassination attempt. Though it was the assassination that failed, you were seriously wounded dying and wandered between life and death for three days and three nights. That's a felony to be sentenced to a maximum sentence."

"Extreme punishment..."

"It's supposed to be, it's about. She was losing her lover and depleting her spirit in the war. The Alliance for the Liberation of Logners caught my eye where I was no longer able to judge good or evil, and I guess I used her... I can also say that. Most likely, the world won't be convinced by that, but we might be able to change targets to the Alliance for the Liberation of Logners."

The very existence of an anti-government organization called the Alliance for the Liberation of Logners had also been heard of by Setuna. There must have been several discussions within The Lion's Tail. Because I also needed to know about the circumstances of Logner after the war as Setuna. Setuna is a man who led the war to the victory of Gandhia, as well as a tenant who scattered his misfortunes among a number of Logners. Of course, just because I found out doesn't mean I can do anything. As a result of the war, there was nothing I could do to make you unhappy.

(At that time...)

Now, what do you think?

Perhaps if he had gained the finest position, he could do something to the people of Logner, to the people of Zalwarn. At least there may be something the inhabitants of Enjour, a territory, can do. I can't think of anything specifically, but you'll need to think about it.

"The Alliance for the Liberation of Logners intended to cause devastating damage inside Gandhia by using her. You must be Gandia. [M] Plus, if I kill you, which worked in the Logner War, the Logners' hoarding will go down."

Leongand sighed quietly.

"Yes, it is. It seems that the Alliance for the Liberation of Logners was also used in a factional feud in Gandia."

"... the Queen, is it"

"Oh. Reins-Anthrius, the chief of the Empress, involved the Alliance for the Liberation of Logners, the Logner family and Elenia-Diphone to kill you. It's because we don't act as a loss to Gandhia that we let it go, whether it's the Empress or the Anti-Leon Gandhi. They tried to move the political scene by taking the lives of Gandia's most important people"

I found Leongand's gripping fist trembling.

"It's hard to forgive. I want to capture Rhine and destroy the Empress soon. But reality doesn't work that well. There is no firm evidence that Rhine is the mastermind behind the assassination attempt. The testimony of Augusto, who saved your life, is not enough to restrain him."

The name Augusto was remembered this morning when I heard it from the mouths of the Milius. August-Sancian. It was Faria who explained to me that she was in a special position among the nobles who served the Gandhian royal family and that she was famous enough to outnumber the Gandhian royal family in her personality. It was Augusto, the owner of such a house, who informed the Milius of the crisis in Setuna that Setuna had helped her hair in an instant.

If Augusto's warning had been delayed even for a moment, he's pretty sure Setuna was dead.

When I heard the story, Setuna was just relieved. I have to thank Augusto, and I have to thank Ruufa for blowing up Elenia with the power of Silfed Feather. Because if he hadn't summoned Sylphide Feather, Elenia's second blow would have ended Setuna's life.

Different events were intricately intertwined, connecting Setuna's life to this world. I can't clean it up with a word of luck.

"Of course, whether Rhys is the mastermind or not, the fact that Elenia put her hand down remains the same. Her sins will not diminish, and she must be disposed of accordingly. And many want a maximum sentence. Especially the Empress who wants to push her to sin and make the case a thing of the past."

"Your Majesty... what do you want to do?

"The Empress...... one party in Rhine was trying to inflict pain on us in this incident. With a number of insurances, he was using a roundabout means to try to cut the power of me, Leongando Ray-Gandia, anyway."

Though confused by Leongand's unanswerable words, he decided to clear his ears. Leongand's voice is now restoring calm.

"I'm pretty sure the best thing for them was to kill you. If you die, Gandia will suffer enormous losses. Setuna Zenon-Kamiya accounts for the bulk of Gandia's military power. Losing you alone will require a significant re-examination of Gandhia's future strategy. Staffing would also change from the ground up. Gandia has had to stagnate and territorial expansion may have to give up"

"So......?

"Setuna. If this isn't false, it's your assessment."

So he smiled.

Setuna was stunned by the not too high of an appreciation for herself. No, being highly rated is something I've known for a long time. Even the Argument Award was obvious, and even before that, I heard voices like that. But I couldn't think of anything that would even affect Gandhia's strategy, and even as I was told from Leongando's mouth, it was full of incredible thoughts.

"If I tried to make it a line, I would have stalled Gandhia by your death and also brought him from there into a showdown with me, but that prospect came off. You're alive. [M] But Rhine's plot wasn't the only one. Having made the assassination at the hands of the Alliance for the Liberation of Logners, he created a story about the involvement of the Logners"

"Story?"

"Yes, the story. The clichéd, but convincing, story of the Rogner family causing the assassination to clear up the resentment that took the country. It's a more compelling story than the Empress conspiracy. In fact, Elenia was in the royal palace because Cyril-Logner spoke, and the second attempted assassination while you were asleep is being committed by a servant of the Logner family."

If you can pile up that much evidence, you can't get away with it. I suppose Leongand says that in the dark.

I know that many Logners see Setuna as an object of hatred. It is due in large part to Setuna's activism and Astal-Lanadies' decision to end the Logner War. In that case, it would be nature that the spearhead of hostility turns to Setuna rather than Astal-Lanadies, who have a lot of confidence in the Logner people.

Most of the soldiers who made up their troops in the Zalwarn War were carefree people, even the zealous followers of Setuna like Ein.

"It was I, myself, who placed the Logner family in the royal palace as nobles. If something goes wrong with the Logner family, it's natural for me to have a liability issue. Let's accept that spoiled. But more than we know the mastermind of the attempted assassination is Rhine, we're going to dispose of the Logner family the way they want..."

"What's wrong with you?

"In the end, the Logners settled for themselves."

"Huh?"

"It was Cyril who died, taking responsibility for Elenia's case. By the life of Elius, lord of the Logner family."

Leongand lay down his eyes, perhaps because his feelings for Cyril-Logner made him do so. Cyril-Logner was the king of Logner until a few months ago. He gave the king's throne to his son because of the Astar-Lanadies rebellion,

Apparently, the problem with the Logner family was half-executed by one of them. That Cyril-Logner's assumption of responsibility took the form of protecting the Logner family and Leongando.

The unrelated Logner family also had to take responsibility. It would be natural for Elenia to have a louder voice demanding a maximum sentence. But as for Setuna's personal emotions, I didn't think it made sense to kill her. Where I did that, it wouldn't solve anything. She was just trying to clear her personal grudges. The strong and intense sentiment was used. Of course, if it's good or bad, it's bad, and there's no choice but to have a louder voice holding you accountable.

Still, Setuna thinks, I'm sure, because I'm strongly impressed by the peek into Wayne's memory.

"... Your Majesty, what do you think?

"You mean Elenia?

"Yes, Your Majesty, what do you think we should do with Elenia? It means you want to know my opinion, but I just heard my opinion..."

"That's not true. You are the victim she nearly killed. [M] Your opinion is the most important."

Powered by Leongand, Setuna conceived. Knowing Leongand's opinion would definitely depend on it. Leongand may have guessed that would happen. Leongand wants to hear Setsuna's opinion. I guess we should talk about our sincerity, but that's why we get lost, too.

"I... don't want her to be sentenced to death"

"Why? She tried to kill you. If you let him live, he might try to kill you again."

Although Leongand has inquired, no question mark has been engraved on his expression.

"I know. That's not true. But I can't hope Elenia dies."

Setsuna lay her eyes down. Keep your thoughts together, keep your words coming.

"I've killed so many enemies that I can't count on the battlefield. If His Majesty wishes, he will continue to do so. That's my, black spear setuna role, so I'm not dissatisfied. But outside of the battlefield, I don't want to kill one."

"Elenia is an enemy with a clear intention to kill. Still don't change your mind."

"I'm probably an idiot. I know about Elenia and Wayne, so I really don't hate her. I also know the idea that you should be sentenced to extreme imprisonment. As a country, it might be more right to do so. But I can't make that decision. Except if His Majesty wants it."

"... you mean you don't even hate killing Elenia if it's my order?

"Yes."

When Setsuna responded instantly, Leongand silenced. I thought Setsuna might have bought Leongand's unhappiness, but it was also true that she couldn't fake her feelings. It's not hard to kill Leongand if he orders it. It's the same thing that kills enemy soldiers. It is Setuna who has mercilessly killed the king's enemies. Even the sympathetic opponents, if not too much, have killed them all. The only thing that didn't kill him was about the person who lost his will to fight.

If Elenia is the enemy of Leongando, Setsuna wants it in the right way. That's all.

Leongand opened his mouth some time after that.

"Okay. As for Elenia's disposition, it will be decided at the meeting from now on, but I shall work to ensure that your opinion is respected. The idea that Elenia was just being used for personal vengeance is not incomprehensible. More importantly, you're alive. You don't have to take her life."

"Your Majesty...!

When Setuna looked to Leongand with joy, the youth king smiled slightly illuminated.

"What, I didn't want to kill her either. Until we agreed."
