"Why?"

Ruufa narrowed her eyes to the frozen light of the Demonic Crystal lamp set forth by Rafael-Crowe. Behind the light source is the figure of Rhine-Ansleus, whom Raphael and his companions call the head. The head of the House of Ansleus, one of the most prestigious houses of Gandia nobility, appeared confused by unexpected events. That's the same for the nobles and soldiers around him. Try to make it Ruufa, the second son of the Barghazar family, and none and he was the face he found out about.

One party in Rhine was formerly a force that bisected Gandhia as a princess. Everyone knows that its essence is anti-Leonganism, and most of the nobles and military personnel who gave it to the Empress were the kind of people who have openly made Leonganese criticisms by umbrella the Empress. Neither worth sympathy nor room for such.

A dozen people, including Rhine, were there. It is so little that it is not comparable to the peak period of the Empress, but given the apoptosis of Rhine, it may have been appropriate to say that there are many. Rhine-Ansleus was prevented from naming Queen Gracia by the ban on entering and leaving the rear palace. It led to a loss of composure, and the Empress instantly disintegrated. The people who were directly connected to Rhine continued to remain on Rhine's side, but those who were dazzled by the majesty of the Queen and following changed saddles to the Leongans or returned to the Neutralists.

So I wish everything had fit in a circle.

If the Rhine One Party had no crappy ambitions and just behaved as a Gandhian nobleman, if they would just deceive their duties as politicians, there was nothing wrong with that.

We should not have come to the conclusion that if they did not even have a rebellion against Leongando, they would have had to take that life.

"You don't have to answer, you'll see."

"You're going to assassinate me! Balghazar's son!? Why!?

"If you don't answer that much, don't you see"

A voice like that was behind Ruufa's back. It's Nares-Ragnahorn. There are two types of shoe sounds that sound like underground spaces. Nares and August-Sancian are approaching.

"Nares...... it's you!

"Yes, it's me, Master Rhine."

In contrast to the burgeoning Rhine, Nahless did not break his grumpy attitude.

"What are you... what are you thinking!

"Elimination of the Rhine One Party. That's all."

Nares' response is nothing but the pronouncement of death.

"Stupid!?

Step forward, with Rhine disturbed. Raphael's hand was trembling as he lit this one with a demonic crystal lamp. He was also stunned, and the other nobles and soldiers did not hide their surprises and fears. Nares' voice is truly imminent. It didn't sound like a very good joke, and I guess they know very well that I'm not the man to make such a joke.

"You think you can do that and just...! Nares-Ragnahorn!

"Reins-Anthrius and one of his factions, fled into the Royal Palace basement, but were cornered by the Imperial Demon, and died splitting up - yes, all you have to do is report it. The Imperial Devil's body, prepared a few days ago, stinks, but no one will notice. I just realized, I'm not willing to figure out the truth. If you die, your majesty will have nothing to avenge."

An odorous identity drifting in the underground space is the corpse of the Imperial Demon that was mentioned by Nares. The bodies were rolling behind the Ruufa's, but the Reins didn't seem to notice. Even if I realize it, should I say that I have to pay attention to the presence of Ruufa? And here comes the nurse. We have no choice but to turn our consciousness to Nares than to the corpse of the Imperial Devil.

"Leongando...... right, Leongando's orders! You want to kill me and leave Gandhia to herself?

"What's wrong with a king leaving his country to himself?"

"Even if it perishes as a result!?

"It must be you, Master Rhine, who brought in doom. It is not a sane shack, such as conspiring with Kruselk and releasing the Imperial Devil to the royal palace. I can only think of it as an indication that I don't care about the country."

"Ha! To get rid of the nesting leongands that erode Gandhia! He just used poison to control the poison! Where's the problem?

"Everything will be full of problems"

Augusto snaps as he sighs.

"You are wrong at the point of cutting Your Majesty off from the sickness, that is. Without His Majesty, Gandia would never have grown so fast. It would not have been possible for Sius Cloud to expand at such a rate."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the followers of the Predecessor are the words of Nahless. There was something really looming, and it was emotional. Ruufa didn't think Nares appreciated Leongand that much.

"Why don't you realize that expansionism brings ruin to Gandia!

"I chose to move forward rather than sit back and wait for death. That's all. And it is only natural to judge you for your mercy."

"Mercy!?

"It would be. His Majesty knew that Master Reins was behind the assassination of Uncle Setuna. I could have forcefully acquitted you, but I didn't do it. Mercy is all I want."

"Nonsense...... Isn't it just sweetness! Why don't you realize that the sweetness of not being able to put your hands on yourself caused this?

"I was aware, so you're going to put your hands down. If we don't destroy you as soon as possible, it could be irrevocable."

"... it's too late. With all the Imperial Demons against him, the" Lion's Tail "will be settled before we can harness its power. Leongand will die."

"Shut up."

Then Ruufa realized she had opened her mouth.

"Huh!?

"You have no idea. How many dead lines have we got through The Lion's Tail? You don't know how many powerful enemies you've fought and how many enemies you've defeated."

"What's wrong with that! I'm Rhine-Ansleus! Why should I, the head of the House of Anthrius and reigning at the apex of the Gandhian nobility, be in line with you! You fight the enemy on the front line! We do politics in the rear! Isn't that what a nation should look like!

"Then I'll ask you where you are."

"What!?

"Me, everyone and the captain are fighting for this country. I'm bleeding and burning my soul. Everyone from the General to a soldier. Among other things, the captain, Setuna, he has been forced to fight more harshly than anyone, still complaining and fighting through. Sometimes I spit blood reflexes, in pain, and still beat them. Gandhia was won this way because there was such a battle for Setuna. Yet you trampled on Setuna's thoughts"

The night of the dinner party comes to mind like yesterday's event. From Augusto's warning to his discovery of Setuna in the royal palace, Ruufa was not concerned.

"I tried to hang Setuna in my hand. I tried to kill him."

And when he discovered Setuna, who was about to be killed by a woman, Ruufa remembered an anger he had never felt before. Against the woman, against her will to kill Setuna, against her powerless self.

At that time, the tinnitus became stronger at the border.

"I will not forgive you."

Ruufa looked to Rhine. As the head of the House of Ansleus, the man, a heavy town throughout the heavy town of the Gandian nobility, did not break his dignified attitude, even in this situation. It was only for a moment that I was disturbed, and I've already regained my calm. That's right, something like that.

"... there is no reason to beg your forgiveness. I am not involved in the assassination. Everything here has nothing to do with Uncle Setuna's attempted assassination. Besides, you're bleeding and burning your soul? With us, we're burning our souls for our country! I'm ready to bleed."

Reins has been resolute in saying whether he has regained his spare time by dealing with Ruufa. But there's no way Rhine's bullshit can even resonate with Ruufa's mind. I have Augusto's testimony. There was no doubt that Rhine had drawn up a plan for Setuna's assassination and transferred it to execution.

"Then you should bleed too. If the plot fails, all the more so."

Ruufa deployed Silfed Feather. The white coat turns into a pair of wings, and the fallen feathers color the sight. Someone raised their voice like it had drawn me.

"... don't be ridiculous"

Rhine screamed and turned his back on this one. I guess I'm going to turn back the way I came. Raphael follows it. The light of the Demon Crystal illuminates the entrance and exit of the basement. The entrance and exit doors were closed, before which Zein-Maldeen and his private soldiers were blocked.

"Zein, you......!?

"You sold us!

"... the traitor deserves it."

Zein just said that. There was nothing emotional in my cold eyes. However, Ruufa did not miss the moment when the eyes reflecting the light of the Demonic Crystal lamp reflected the face of an exasperating line and the face of a desperate Raphael, whose neck would be severed from his torso.

Ruufa killed Rhines in an instant.

Silfed feathers splashed and chopped one party of Rhine, and massive amounts of blood poured down like rain, filling the underground space like fog.

In a backward smell of blood, Ruufa felt her hands get dirty. He dyed his hands in the assassination. Lying in front of me is the path of darkness, and it may no longer be possible to return to the right path, I also thought. But I also think that this is fine.

If I didn't do it, it's likely Setuna would have done it. Nares was showing such a bare gesture. It's about Nares, who may be a convenience to draw in Ruufa, but who doesn't choose the means. I might have really been using Setuna.

(Good for me)

I'm kidding, such as pushing him to Setuna until he's dirty.

"I wish I had time. If I had time, I would have figured out a way to keep you alive. I would have come up with a way to use your presence for the good of the country. But I have no time. This country… no, the time left in the small group of countries is also opaque"

Unification of the group of small continental States must be achieved by the time the three major forces are set in motion. That's understandable even to Ruufa. If the three forces move, everything will be over. It's a wreck. It also loses the meaning of the blood Setuna has shed.

"... you've cleared everything up"

Such is Zein.

"Yeah. Thanks to you"

"What, until I did what I deserved"

Zein-Maldeen distorted his expression.

Zein-Maldeen belonged to one of Rhine's parties. The more he was seen as the right arm of Rhine, the more deeply involved he was with Rhine and even trusted by Rhine. His skill as a politician was also a certainty, and he was one of those who, along with Rhine and Raphael, spared being an anti-Leonganese. His passage to the Leongans seemed to have taken place since the Empress fell into Leongans' hands.

Most likely, he only saw Rhine in earnest after he conspired with Kruselk to devise a plan to unleash the Imperial Demon on the Royal Palace.

A traitor must have said that.

"By the way, what happens to my seat? It's not like Zephyr and I are in the same row... etc., but you get a lot in return, right?

"Of course, we have the right seats for this job."

Nares went mild, but his eyes looking at Ruufa, just cold.

"Well, I'm looking forward to that."

"Yep... enjoy it fully. In hell."

"What?"

When Zein spoke of doubt, his neck was away from his torso. The head dancing through the universe as it bled out had a freaking look on his face that even said he couldn't understand what had happened.

Zein isn't the only one who's dead. His private soldiers, too, have been plunged through the steeple with a feather bullet and are desperate.

Zein's assassination was just as planned. Destroying one party in Rhine is all about Nares' plot to use this wedding mess.

From the beginning, Nares intended to cause confusion that would involve the entire royal palace. Unless you're in so much noise that you have to interrupt the wedding, it's hard to make one of Rhine's parties look like an accident and kill him. Even if your husband's wedding was bloodstained for it, he decided there was no choice. Go down the bloody road anyway. Whether the wedding is painted with blood and cursed, it will be more important to destroy what stops Leongand from walking.

Ruufa agreed with Nares' idea and was immersed in a plot to assassinate a faction of Reins. Assassinate the people who tried to assassinate Setuna. It's ironic, but it's the only thing I can do, he thought.

"Lord Zephyr will be the head of the Maldeen family."

"Is that why you killed Lord Zein?

"I wonder if I need another reason."

"No."

When Augusto could pull the words in, Nares glanced over here. The eyes of the warrior are sharper than the fierce ones who have dived through many dead lines at times.

"Lord Ruufa, it was brilliant."

"It's rare to be so complimented."

"Well, you will. But if you don't get back soon, won't the captain be mad at you?

"Regardless of the captain, you'll be pissed off by the assistant captain and the squadron."

Ruufa laughed just a little. I'm not happy or anything, but I'm not sad. I just did what someone had to do. Someone had to get their hands dirty to remove the nest from this country. Nares, Augusto, and Ruufa. Only three of us were able to eradicate the Reins. Isn't that enough?

(This is good... this is good)

When he snapped to tell, he realized that he was deafening from tinnitus.

(Oh... you mean...)

Ruufa realized Silfed Feather's will.

It does live.
