It was the twenty-sixth day after Sheila and the others arrived at the Sentier that Sentier was engulfed in a frivolous atmosphere. It is the day before the date of the public execution.

After 10 a.m., the Army Beast Battle Regiment of the Kingdom of Abad arrives at the West Gate of Sentier as a precursor to King Abad's Reserg Ray-Abad. Subsequently, information came into Sheila's ears that Heavenly Wings, the King's SS, had entered Sentier. If SS were to arrive, it would also be a matter of time before the King arrived at Sentier. It is only natural that tension was created throughout the city called Sentier, and before noon, in a strict state of precaution, a carriage believed to have carried the king dived the west gate of Sentier.

Near the West Gate there was a gathering of people by the inhabitants of Sentier who gathered for a glimpse of the King's arrival, and it was not difficult for Sheila and Setuna to get mixed up. Strict security from the West Gate to the arena isn't nearly as free as trying to see the face of each and every one of the audience who speaks out for the King's arrival. Even wearing a headscarf and wrapping it around her body with a jacket doesn't make Sheila look like she could be misidentified. Just in case, he also wore a headscarf on Setuna. Some of Abard's heavy ministers would have seen a brunette red-eyed boy armed summoner following the King's downward. Whether or not you're accompanying us to Sentier this time. I never got over caution.

"A day is different...... I'm glad you left soon after that."

Esq, for example. He exposes his face, but he was sometimes confused by the crowd, and there was nothing for the guards to blame. Same goes for Remil-Folk Ray next door. Though acting head of a mercenary regiment with nothing unknown within Abad and a troop leader, there is not so much to know about its face. That's the same with Sheila. No matter how supportive and popular they are by the people, not so many humans know what they actually look like. It's that characteristic gray hair that Sheila should be aware of, the appearance itself wasn't that much of a problem, and I'm sure it wouldn't make a scene if she was seen about her face. Still, just in case, I even hide my face. That's all. That attention leads us to the fact that we have not been told who we are until today, except Esq.

You're absolutely right.

Setsuna gave her consent to Esq. I guess I was able to get into the city without so many problems because I had arrived at Sentier early in the day. If this meant arrival today, tomorrow, there could have been a stuffing with the guard soldiers. The Sydney Mercenary Corps is Abad's leading force, but at the same time some parts of it are hated as a rogue group. Yesterday, it was even a miracle that nothing went wrong.

"And that's a royal carriage."

Sheila snapped, pointing to a carriage going down Sentier's Boulevard while being protected by SS/Heavenly Mouth Squad. The word "luxurious" was enough to make me wonder if there were any carriages that would fit this well. The design of the two meteors, also depicted on the carriage, is a symbol of Abard and a testament to the royal family. It also looks familiar to two brilliantly decorated carriages. Ruberia and Azeria. It's two of those military horses that Reserg won't love.

"Royal carriage......"

"A carriage only royal humans were allowed to use, and it is His Majesty's beloved horse who pulls the carriage. There seems to be no doubt that His Majesty will be on board."

"The royal palace has announced the sight of His Majesty, isn't it natural?"

"... yeah, that's right"

Sheila didn't even question Esq's statement. Esq glanced over her shoulder wondering if Sheila had reacted just a little strangely like that. Remill sees Esq. Esq shook his head and turned his back on the carriage and queue as he proceeded down the boulevard. Only the figure of Esq floats as the crowd raises various voices toward the carriage carrying the king.

As an esc, maybe Sheila wanted me to show disgust for the royal palace or something. No one knows more than Sheila that royal palace announcements aren't always the right thing to do. It's all lies, like information about Sheila's execution. A number of words decorated as convenient for the royal palace. But Sheila has nothing to be angry about in the royal palace.

That was the case from the beginning. From the beginning, she only questioned the Royal Palace's intentions, remembered the complex emotions, and never had anger gushed. It just felt unreasonable, twilight on the way, and desperate.

Anger cannot come from despair.

"Do you want to go back?"

"Right."

Setuna, affirming Esq's suggestion, pulled Sheila's hand. Ever since I left the inn, my hands remained tied. But this time I wasn't trying to hold hands from Sheila. Setsuna gave me her hand. Setuna, who was shy of playing the couple, probably also gave up because she's not used to it, and Sheila's coming to hold her hand anyway.

Sheila followed West Gate as well, pulled by Setuna. The voice of the anti-royal palace crossing in the crowd is rather heartbreaking.

Sheila doesn't hate the royal palace. I don't resent the royal family either. I didn't hate the country anymore. Rather, the opposite is true. The royal palace, the royal family, the country, I love you. Because I love you from the bottom of my heart, it's painful. If I could hate, if I could hate, if I could resent, it would have been easier. I kind of knew that. I'm sure everything would have looked different if I had only been able to discern Abard. In the first place, you must not be here. You must have been able to live a whole different life under Setuna. That's not who Sheila Lewe-Abbard is, just as Sheila. Weren't you able to live your life as Sheila, captain of the Dragon Prefecture Uncle Kingsguard and Black Beast?

But that, I'm sure, is different.

It will no longer be Sheila.

At least, I won't be able to be myself continuously from the past.

(That's... I don't like that)

It's nothing. I don't hate Setuna. I don't hate Setuna's men and the people around me. Gandhia was not a bad country, nor was it a livable country for Sheila. My days with Setuna saved Sheila some of her heart. Because he reached out to me, Sheila could, again, recognize herself. Again, that's true.

But that's why she can't abandon Sheila's life.

I rather thanked myself for not letting go of my feelings for my father as I watched the carriage with Reserg go away.

That's why I can be on my own.

I'm here because I can stay on my own.

And because we're here, we can end it all.

"The execution will take place tomorrow at 2: 00 p.m."

"That's something you've known for a long time, isn't it?

Setuna looked surprised because Esq had said what he found out. The date of the public execution was the information that the Esques had been purchasing, and that information seemed no different.

"Yeah, I just wanted to let you know that there's no change in schedule."

"Is that what you mean? So, what do we do?

Sheila and the others went back to the inn and had a meeting. The agenda is how to ruin public executions in the arena, no matter what. Ruining the execution itself would show the will of the Sydney Mercenaries, which was the reason Esq told Dorin and Remill to join, and the agenda was based on it. Nevertheless, it just doesn't make sense to ruin it. Sheila must meet Reserg. For the first time, it makes sense to meet and sue. Sue directly and put an end to everything. Sheila, Setuna and Esq are the only ones who know it's a meeting for that. Remill and Doreen don't know. If you do, you need to know who Sheila is. We still need to keep it hidden.

Sometimes Esq, who understands Sheila's purpose, is in the process of holding a meeting, and the way to smash the execution should also be in line with Sheila's purpose.

"From yesterday until now, my guys hit me a lot, but I found a good way to do one thing."

And Esq spread out the map on the desk, which was surrounded by five men. The ancient map of Sentier is marked with the current location and destination. The destination is the Arena in the western part of Sentier, and its current location is the Inn Town near the east.

"As I'm sure I've seen on the way home, Sentier's Arena is currently staffed with a security system to the point of being awesome"

"It's no exaggeration to say more than Wang Du."

There will be no mistake, because Dorin has seen the Wang Du's security system directly. I can't imagine how much security is more than a security system that doesn't allow one ant in, but anyway, I can understand that it's not easy to break in. And I know why that's all the security system is laid down.

"Your Majesty is coming. Why not?

It is no surprise that more than King's Capital security systems were laid down if the personal safety of Reserg Ray-Abad was to be preserved. Reserg is king. It is a symbol, culmination and ruler of the country. Neither popularity nor popularity from the Aberd people is bad, but it's not without enemies. There aren't many political enemies, and it's not necessarily that those people aren't coming for assassins. Neither is there any chance that the demons of the neighboring countries will reach out. Based on that danger, we should not carry out public executions or anything else, and let it be done inside, but given the show to the Sheilas, we may have had to stop at public. And public executions in sentients, which could be considered one of the major bases of the Sheila sect, had to be to increase the effectiveness of the show.

As a result, more than Wang Capital's security system would be laid around the arena, and the entire Sentier would be surrounded by noisy tensions.

"Yeah. There are two SS units out there, and even the Beast Warriors are on guard. Though it's a public execution, you'll naturally have to undergo a physical examination when entering the venue."

"That's troublesome"

"Yes, we're talking about misfortune pushing in."

Sheila was a little strange because Esq starts thinking about the setting as if it were true. The false custom thought by Esq that the headscarf should not be removed in public has been instrumental in hiding Sheila's identity from the Remills. More than Esq believes in it, the Remills have to follow it. The mercenaries understand that the Sydney Mercenary Corps would decompose in the air without him, even though he is an unreliable deputy commander. So I follow Esq's orders.

Most importantly, Remill seems comfortable with Esq, and Doreen seems to have a lot of respect.

"So I gave up the front breakthrough. Well, naturally."

"I like that."

Either way, it is speechless, such as entering from the front. Even if there were no strict security system in place, you wouldn't be allowed to head to the venue with your headscarf on. And if you take off your headscarf, there's no question that you'll reveal who you are. That would make a fuss. As a result, I don't mind if I can meet Reserg face-to-face, but whether it works that well or not.

You can't place a bet on one or eight.

"There are two ways I came up with it. One is that we, the Sydney Mercenaries, attack the arena and multiply the noise with a masculine concealment that your husbands dive inside the arena."

When I finished saying the first way, he got the brush. Put your mark in the center of Sentier's map, by the way.

"The other is a tunnel dive, diving into the arena from the underground passage of the main house of the Window House"

Sentier was a city dominated by a family of windows.

Sheila was also well aware that the main residence of the Window family was in the heart of the city. Instead, the royal people often used the main house of the Window family whenever they visited Sentier. The reason the Window clan has a strong voice within Abad is because it had such a connection to the royal family.

The carriage carrying the king did not make its way to the main house of the Window family, probably because the Window clan had given it to the Sheila faction, and only because the Arena protected by the SS is far safer than the Sheila mansion. If the Window clan were royalist, Sail, it might not have been impossible either to face Reserg in the main Window family residence, in which case the execution of Larnheil and the Clan Royal Party would not have taken place in Sentier.

"Underground passage?

"Once upon a time - hundreds of years ago - when it was believed the best way to escape the Imperial Devil was to hide underground, I hope an underground space was created in many cities. Sentier's underground corridor must be one of them."

He looked like Setuna was convinced by Esq's explanation. Sheila could have looked the same. If you ask me, there are many cities with underground spaces. So did Ryufu. The vast underground space of the dragon palace was a story of a labyrinth, and it might not have been possible to get out without the help of Miliu.

Is there a similar labyrinth lying in the basement of Sentier?

"I don't know if the Window Clan was wielding power from then on."
