A storm ran through the land of Myon. Cold rain rolled backwards and thunderbolts rocked heaven and earth more than once.

Some said the storm that ravaged the whole country was God's wrath. The wrath of Vashtara, the only and supreme God, is said to descend upon people as a natural mutation.

"The wrath of God..."

I put it to the word, perhaps because I didn't think that the sounds of things rocking the royal palace were producing very natural nature. I've never felt threatened with nature in this world before, and I recognized it as a livable world, but I might have to change that idea.

Assuming this natural disaster is the wrath of God, to whom is that wrath directed?

Gandhia tried not to conquer the allies who used it. Mion who betrayed his allies and didn't even resign from hostility? Leongand, Isius, Ha, and Setuna, who slaughtered numerous innocent soldiers?

Running through the back of the brain is the bravery of the cavalry led by Gilbert-Hardy. The sight of ravaging the Gandhian army formation and raising numerous soldiers to blood festivals was engraved in Setuna's memory as unforgettable.

Even a single ride with Gilbert-Hardy will never be forgotten.

Just flashing.

That's all, but that's probably why it's burning to the retina.

"Where did you go?

"Huh...?

Asked, Setuna looked up. Miliu was peeking at this face until he bent his back. Red haired beauty. The strange look made me look younger than ever. I'm supposed to be a lot older than Setuna, but somehow I sometimes feel like a girl my age.

One of Mion Lion's Royal Palaces. There was no one in the room filled with "Lion's Tail" but officials of "Lion's Tail". Of course, there's Rem's appearance. She's part of the Lion's Tail, too. That's what you have to do to escort Setuna. I know you don't like Miliu, but it's something you can't help.

It is a royal life.

'Cause you look serious.

"Really? Nothing."

That's how Setuna deceived herself. The fight has just come to an end. I didn't have to say anything extra. You just need to focus on resting your body right now. Tomorrow, we are also due to leave the capital of this Mion. The only time I could be rested, right now, was at this moment.

"It's weird."

"Your husband is weird because he knew it from the edge."

"Yeah, yeah."

"You don't deny it."

Setsuna almost fell out of her chair when Miliu agreed that she was always supposed to disobey Rem by stripping her fangs of his remarks. Rem stands by the window. The windowsill was slammed by a storm, shaking all broken, but she didn't even seem to care. Instead, even the sound of wind and rain is good.

"Well, it's only weird that a beauty like this doesn't respond in any way to a hug."

"Instead of not responding, you avoid it, don't you, master?"

"Yes, yes, it is. I'm trying to convey love with all my soul."

Setsuna, looking out for Miliu dropping her shoulders, had to laugh small.

(Not that I'm not responding.)

On the contrary, it remains occasional to Miliu's expression of affection, but it just didn't bring it to his expression or his attitude. I know if I put it in my attitude, she'll be in good shape, but that's not all I'm trying not to react to.

I think it will be strong.

Building self-control for that is by no means a bad decision.

(Strong... strong? What the hell was that for?

Setsuna asked herself in her chest, looking at the nasty Milyu. What do you want power for? What do you think it will be strong for? For what?

For what?

One is to control the chaos bringer.

And that was the means to solve all the reasons. To help Leongand, to protect his place, he needed just the power to control the black spear. It's not a mistake to train yourself just for that.

Black spears are vicious.

The strength of that power, every day, I realize. If we can fully control this power, we will have no enemies before Setuna. That will not only lead to the strengthening of Gandhia. It also leads to the progress of Leongand's dream.

Dreams.

The dream of Leongand is the unity of a small group of nations.

The attempt to build an equilibrium between the three major forces by bringing together a group of small continental states in one was why Leongando fought.

It is a small group of nations that has been maintained for centuries, but if the three forces move, they are weak enough to be wiped out. If we are to maintain a country called Gandhia, we need to fulfill Leongando's dream.

"Dream"

"Hmm?"

Miryu reacted precisely because she was holding onto her as she stretched from behind Setuna. Thanks to the fact that the back of the chair was on the wall, it didn't make the beat any faster, though.

"Does everyone have a dream or a goal?

"A dream?"

"What's the sudden matter?

Faria, who was reading the book, and Ruufa, who was snuggling with Emil, looked strange. Not only Amil-Rijl, but Maria-Skor also accompanies him in this battle. Maria's not here because she's going to pay for the wounded. Doesn't mean I'm understaffed by medical units, I guess I just don't like standing still.

No, I was just wondering.

I clouded the words, not because I didn't expect to be questioned. Because I felt like I could answer.

I think about dreams only because what happened about two hours ago is impressive.

"Was it still Lord Setuna who debated General Gilbert-Hardy"

"His Highness Halberg......"

Speaking to Halberg Reus-Lucion was when he was alone in the sight of the royal palace, where the Lord was gone, trying to immerse himself in the vain of battle. I had a hard time wrapping the lem around, but I guess that was all worth it. As long as Rem is on his side, he can't wipe the feeling that he's being watched. She is Zibel's reaper. Even on my side, I'm not one to be cared for.

I wanted to be alone.

I don't know why, but that mood filled Setuna's chest.

When he noticed, he waved Miliu, wrapped his lem around him, and stood between his glances.

"Lord Setsuna is just as strong."

Halberg was alone. One of my servants, I don't have one near me. It was too inadvertent, but it would mean you wouldn't have to get so nervous in the royal palace where the repression was complete. Perhaps the reason Rem isn't looking around for Setuna is also around there. From time to time, it was painful to hear a scream similar to Miliu's cry.

"That's all there is to it."

Setuna did not deny Hulberg's praise.

Halberg laughed uncontrollably, perhaps because Setuna's reaction was too light.

Hulberg walked to the throne. Neither he nor Setuna took off their armor, nor did they have any weapons. Although Hulberg was only wearing a short knife for protection, it was a round waist leading up to Setuna. Of course, Setsuna has an armed subpoena.

The battle is over. I didn't need to be armed.

"... to be honest, I envy you"

"Envy me? Am I?

"Yes."

Halberg smiled with affirmation, but Setuna could not hide her surprise.

I am neither in a position nor in a situation to be envied by Halberg, Prince of Lucion. I don't think it's the kind of life that people would ever envy. If you look only at the fact that you are entrusted to the Uncle and surrounded by beautiful women, you may be enough to envy them, but that is only one side. And you can't even envy Halberg seeing only such a side.

"The strength of Lord Setuna is pushing his sister-in-law, His Majesty Leongand's dream forward. With the Black Spear Chaos Blinger and the activity of Setuna Zenon-Kamiya, for the first time, Gandia could have become a powerful country. Without Lord Setuna, Gandia would still have contested the territory with Logner. Neither Lución nor Mión planned to put their backs on Gandía's northward journey."

"Were you?

"You know that when Logner became Gandhian territory, the equilibrium of the Troika Alliance broke down? Both Lucion and Mion had to refer to Gandhia as their ally. Of course, that's not a bad thing. I had no hesitation in supporting Gandhia, because if Gandhia expanded its national territory, it would also benefit its allies, Lucion and Myon. I'm surprised Gandhia made it to the war against Zalwarn, but knowing the circumstances, there was no alternative to fighting."

It was Gandia at the time who had to take action even a second earlier than the nurse-lagnahorn who was lurking and working in Zalwarn was detained. Otherwise, Nares' weak work, which had lasted five years, would be rendered futile. I don't know if I can win. but then, if we hadn't stood by the war against Zalwarn, how many years would the next opportunity have been ahead of us?

"Gandia lowered Zalwarn. That would also be because Lord Setuna took the lead and opened a wind hole. Different?

"... I'm not alone."

"Yeah. I know that, too. You also know that the armed summoners of Lion's Tail, the mercenaries White Shield, the Pale Wind, the Gandhian army, the cavalry of Myon, and the victory that my Lucion grabbed together. But there is no doubt that Lord Setuna has held back the victory of all the armies"

I did not deny Halberg's assertion because even to this point, it was something that has been sporadically said. Everyone says so. Everyone praises Setuna for her work. Even Zalwarn's people say that victory and defeat would have changed if Setuna hadn't. It is common for Setsuna not to receive such a pleasant word on par, but it was not something that could be denied.

Of course, it's not being flushed and floated by those words. Just accept and admit it. Let's not forget that there are a number of people who have killed themselves.

Hulberg has been like this.

"And what His Majesty Leongand needs is Lord Setuna."

"I envy that......"?

"Yes."

Hulberg laughed, dazzled somewhere. The smile looked too pure and clear. Maybe that's why my heart went out of its way.

"Does Lord Setuna have dreams?

"Dream, is it?

"I had a dream. Alongside His Majesty the Leongand, together with the dream of challenging the turmoil. You may think you're being childish... because, in fact, it's a childhood dream. I only had that dream in my chest, and I was going to move on."

He turned off his smile.

"Apparently I may have lost sight of my dreams. Maybe he kept following all the reality in front of him."

In Halberg's eyes seemed to dwell a resolute will.

"I don't know, if I could stay with Setuna, I guess that would be enough"

To Miliu's enthusiastic words, Setuna was drawn back to reality. I can hear Faria's shuddering, then somewhere envious.

"Miryu is simple, I hope."

"Whatever. Any complaints?"

"I don't. I'm just jealous."

"Phew."

"Is that okay, so"

(I don't have a dream. chasing the reality in front of you is the best you can do)

Setuna, listening to the conversations of her colleagues, had words in her chest that could not be conveyed to Halberg.

You can leave it up to Leongando to follow your dreams.

If you insist, it may be Setsuna's dream to fulfill Leongando's dream.
