The rain keeps falling without ever showing signs of stopping.

A swarm of black and heavy clouds covered the sky above Myon, and neither the light of the sun nor the brilliance of the stars and moon sought to illuminate this senseless war.

Everyone thinks it's a meaningless battle.

What does it mean to attack and destroy former allies? You mean abandon a country that has relied on that much and used it as a force of war, just for one betrayal?

Of course, he is also aware of the fact that Mion must be conquered.

Just one betrayal.

The weight of that betrayal sparked this war.

Mars-Barr, Prime Minister in black.

The trigger is that he tied hands with Kruselk and plotted the assassination of Leongand and others. The plot ended in failure, and Leongand asked Mion to clarify the facts, or to explain them. And if Mars-Barr was the mastermind, he told me to hand over his neck.

Leongand naturally just assumed that Mion would accept this offer. I thought the alliance with Gandia should take precedence over the life of one prime minister. If the king of Myon was wise, then naturally he should have done so.

But Mion did not accept Leongand's offer. While recognizing that Mars-Barr was connected to Kruselk, he did not punish him either. It took the life of a prime minister who rebuilt the country more than an alliance with Gandia. Better than the survival of Mion, I bet everything on the survival of the Chancellor.

Leongando seems more flashy than angry.

Not so long ago Myon's judgment was puzzling. There is no reason for a small country, Mion, to lift its alliance with Gandia. Without profit, no gain. And keeping the mastermind of the King's assassination hidden, cutting off the edge also means hostility.

Halberg Ray-Lucion, Prince of Lucion, seems to have praised Leongand for his decision to conquer Mion. As brother-in-law, as prince of the Allies. Until then, when it comes to interference in internal affairs, there is no choice but to remain silent beyond the fact that Mion is also an ally to Lucion. Losing Myon is painful for Lucion as well.

Halberg not only praised Leongando, but also sent a letter to Isius, king of Mion, to the effect that he should follow Gandia. but mion refuses this. Halberg's activities were also vain, and a battle broke out between Gandia and Myon.

Lucion prioritized alliances with Gandia. Lucion didn't have a brother-in-law belonging to Myon. The princess of Lucion is a former princess of Gandia. It is obvious to everyone that the connection with Gandhia is deeper, but I guess that's not the only thing that prioritized the relationship with Gandhia.

It doesn't do any good to Meon. Gandhia, down Logner, Zalwarn, became huge. Before the battle against Kruselk, it is also celebrated in the standing of the Alliance Lord of Small States. There's no reason to take a mion that reveals a connection to Kruselk more than such a gandia.

(Reason…)

Listening to the rain slamming the tent, Setuna was thinking about this war alone.

The Gandhian army was willing to carry the showdown with Mion in a slightly advantageous way by keeping Mion Lion at his present but refraining from forcible armies and pinching his break. I had to set up a position in this rain for a break, but the number of tents set up was not so high because the majority of the troops chose to rest in the woods.

The Royal SS "Lion's Tail" was provided with a dedicated tent. It's a little narrow, but I didn't complain if it was going to raindrop. Miryu and others seem to be happier to be narrower. Because I can be closer to Setuna, and, but is it my fault that I'm on the side of any large space? Miloo at the time is resting next door.

Everyone's asleep.

I'm tired, I'm sure it's true.

The battle at the Durham Fortress ended without having to show all its might, but sometimes the battle with the cavalry led by Gilbert-Hardy could have been wiped out if one step had gone wrong, and they all fought with all their strength. Setsuna, too, shook her strength for a long time. He squeezed his power and killed numerous cavalry members.

Gilbert-Hardy, too, killed him.

Behind Setuna's brain, moments of staggering with Gilbert were resurrected. The secret of the Assault General's man-male unity is that he ran around the battlefield so freakishly that even Setuna, with the black spear in his hand, could not be captured. And Gilbert killed a number of Gandhian soldiers. The Horse Knife cut off his opponent, so no matter how many soldiers he slapped, the sharpness was hard to dull.

At the moment of staggering, Gilbert was laughing. Setuna doesn't know what was wrong. Everything is ridiculous, whether you wanted to or not. I can only imagine the thoughts of the dead, but I wonder if there's anything as hard to imagine as Gilbert's chest.

(Makes sense)

It was Myon who stood up to reason and chose to fight Gandia. Gandia wanted to continue her alliance with Myon until the end. If only Mars-Barr would give me his neck, that would have been fine. That's all Leongand allowed Mion. I did something that would have been unacceptable, but Leongand was afraid of losing Myon.

But Mion broke up his alliance with Gandhia like he mocked Leongando.

I wonder how Mion's assault general Gilbert-Hardy took the King's judgment. How did you take it and what did you think? Would you have admired it? Would I have condemned it? Or did I not say anything?

(Guess I didn't say)

Wouldn't General Gilbert have done so?

Even if Setsuna is in his shoes, it's the same. Setsuna has never expressed an opinion on Leongando's policies and strategies. Setsuna only obeys Leongand's decision with promise. Destroy an opponent that Leongand has certified as an enemy. He believes that's just his role. That is why we have also participated in this barren battle and taken the initiative to defeat our enemies.

"Can't you sleep?

When I realized, Rem Wau-Marlow's face was right in front of me. Her face is upside down because she's peeking into Setuna's face from her head side. It's far enough to get a snort. I also know the shadowed look.

"I don't sleep."

"Why not?

"I'm not going to sleep until Reaper's asleep."

"Are you afraid of falling asleep?"

She's been joking, but Setuna nodded honestly.

"Yeah."

It may have been a shame to see Rem's amazing expression. I'm honestly tired of continuing to fight drowsiness, but it was also true that I couldn't sleep until she got to sleep.

It's been at this rate ever since Rem took on his escort duties.

Sleep deprivation is inevitable, and so on, but it wasn't even a joke.

Every day, fatigue accumulates.

"You're not like your husband."

"I guess so."

"I thought the black spear setuna was something more horrible"

"You got the real deal."

"Sometimes, if you don't mean it, you're tired"

"If you're tired, go to sleep. I can't sleep."

"... you have no choice. If it's your husband's order, let's sleep."

She felt extremely sorry for herself, mouthing on Setuna's forehead and returning to her fixed position. Setuna remained stunned and let her gaze wander into the darkness of the tent. Are you kidding me, etc. I can't rough up my voice. They're all asleep. I couldn't wake you up.

That's probably why I've been doing that.

Rem seems to enjoy teasing not only Miliu, but Setsuna and the people involved in Setsuna.

I didn't need it for a few seconds until Rem went back to the bunk and started to get some sleep.

She falls asleep instantly, like a broken thread puppet, when she sleeps. In an instant, you fall into deep sleep. When that happens, it didn't happen a bit or softly, and that's why Setuna can learn some relief.

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was only at this moment just before you fell asleep that you could escape reaper surveillance.

Even a bath would follow, so it was troublesome.

(Though an order, isn't it too obedient?

Sleeping also remained, considering the relationship between Craig Zem-Midnas and Rem Wau-Marlow. The desperate eyed girl, why, become Reaper, be ruled and served by Reaper Zero. That bothered me.

It may be a bad habit from time immemorial to care about the people involved in you, regardless of good intentions or malice.

Setuna, blurred, closed her lid, thinking so. Beyond the darkness, I felt like I could see countless eyes glowing red. Black dragon. Chaos bringer.

He just got sick of it.
