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

"Her Royal Highness the Queen...?

The voice plundered because the shock was too loud. A completely different answer than I had imagined. Sheila felt her head turn bright white. My hands tremble. My chest hurts. I can't think of anything. No, I just don't want to think about it. I just don't want to accept it. I just don't want to hear, understand and acknowledge a man's words. So I'm trying to give up my thoughts.

I'm trying to reject the reality in front of me.

But what's the matter, you can't deny reality.

The words spinned by the man of the sword are engraved on Sheila's tympanic membrane and burned to the cerebral cord.

"My mother ordered you to kill me...?

I heard a beating.

Sheila was listening to her own heartbeat in such silence that she didn't think it was the execution ground where the raid noise broke out. I can't stop my pulse from getting faster. Maybe there's no way to stop it. Getting over the shock of the truth being told is no easy thing.

Sheila loved her mother, and she also believed that she loved Sheila. Celis should have been unrelated to power struggles and factional strife, and it was hard to imagine that she would take any action against the Sheilas or Sheilas held up at their top.

Sheila never imagined herself or her family involved in Sheila's repression. I couldn't even have imagined. Father Reserg Ray-Abard, although not necessarily brilliant, was not the kind of person to start a political dispute, and mother Celis was not the kind of person to give orders to kill Sheila, a person full of family love and a real daughter. Not to mention Sail, who turns nine this year.

It was only a family of four.

Of course, there are not only four human beings, called royalty, who draw the blood of the royal family. There are many things that will take you to the Abad royal family, starting with Iseld, the real brother of Reserg. But for Sheila, there were only three people who could be considered family: Reserg, Sellis and Sail.

Betrayed by one of those families.

I was trampled with thoughts.

No, they denied everything.

"Why...?

Sheila realized her voice was trembling but couldn't do anything about it. But you have to ask. I have to know. It's something I don't even want to know. It's something I don't even want to believe. I want it to be a lie. I hope it was false to shake Sheila's heart, but as far as the look on the sword man's face, that wasn't going to be expected. So we need to know.

Why, Selis wants to kill Sheila.

Why should my mother want me to die?

"Well. We're from another country. I haven't been so informed, and I don't need to know."

"Others... knights of Benoagard"

As Setuna stepped forward to block Sheila's sight, she appeared a dark doll. Thanks to that one word from Setuna, Sheila is able to come up with the idea, too. By then the speed of thought had declined. I don't want to think about anything. The more I think about it, the deeper I find myself into, so I want to stop thinking. But the status quo does not allow it. If you stop thinking, you'll just be killed at that moment.

Die.

It's okay to die.

Die and it will all be over.

Free from this suffering.

If you're going to be free from this endless invisible grief, you can die.

I was going to die more than I did before.

He was going to die and finish it all.

When I met Reserg, I directly appealed to him to stop his repression of the Sheila sect, and instead intended to give him his own life.

Sheila thought that because she was alive, she knew she was alive, she couldn't stop attacking the Sheila faction by the Royal Palace.

The royal palace should have known that Sheila, who executed her, was a fake. Still, I would have executed Lena as Sheila because I thought doing so would weaken the momentum of the Sheila faction, and I would have decided that would be enough to stop the Sheila's breathing roots, which lost a key figure in the faction due to the battle of Endwidge. So the Sheila faction was swept away from Abad and unified in the Sails.

In fact, that was supposed to happen.

But the Royal Palace did not stop its repression of the Sheilas. That is the public execution of Lehnheil Lars-Taural and his clan fraternity. Sheila decided that the only way to stop the repression of the Sheila faction, which would end in this public execution, was to give her life. The lives connected by the sacrifices of Lernheil and Lena, but if we are to avoid any further casualties, even Lena and I should laugh and forgive them. Yeah, I thought.

But it ended in vain, too.

It turns out that the public execution of Lernheil and his clan royalist party was only meant to broil Sheila. Sheila means she got caught.

And I stopped dying.

You can't die, you can't die anymore.

At least, until I hear why Selis is trying to kill Sheila and I'm convinced, I won't die.

"Your Answer"

The sword man, he didn't deny it. Next to it, the man with the great sword made a scene. Soon, he's lined up behind a sword man with a bow man. Each does not have a weapon. but I can't be alarmed. It is clear in a series of battles that they are the users of summoning armies. A moment of alarm leads to death.

"Well, you know him well."

"You're famous for involving Benoagard in Abad."

"I see. You can't think of anything other than Benoagard if you're from another country," he said.

I never thought I'd admit it.

"Admit it or not, you don't have to hide it. We got a formal request from Abard, and here we are."

The sword man told without even laughing. It was revealed that the whiteness of their skin was of Northerners origin, so there is nothing to say. I was thinking about the possibility that they were Northerners. But whether they're Northerners or Southerners, there's no point in that. Whether it's the knight of Benoagard or whatever, it's just an enemy to Sheila right now. It is only an enemy for life.

"It's like a battle. All the time passed without a battle. Hey, I was just hissing that you might lose your arm, huh?

"You just have to stay put and be useless"

"Oh, shit."

"Hmm..."

"No, no, no, no."

The man with the bow and the man with the great sword stared at him and turned to him. It's something I knew from the beginning that the pattern seemed bad between the two of us, but that's why I didn't think so when it came to whether that would be a breakthrough. The collaboration between the Great Swordsman and the Bowman is so intense that it drives Setuna.

Friendliness and combat proficiency are quite another thing.

"How could the knight of Benoagard be involved in Abard again?"

"Because you asked for it. We are the reinforcements formally requested and marched by the Abad government. It was Her Highness who counted on us."

A man of the sword tells me to chill.

"And this is also salvation"

"Salvation... salvation. If that's what Benoagard does."

Setuna's voice contained anger. Sheila doesn't know what you're angry about. Sheila is behind Setuna, she can't peek into his expression, she understands his mood, etc., outside.

"How?"

"I don't like the sound of it, but, well, you're shooting at it."

"We're gonna shoot through it."

"Oh, yeah"

"... I don't want a fool like you to understand our noble intentions."

"You don't understand."

"I understand you."

When Setuna said back to overnight, the Great Swordsman distorted the edge of his mouth. Only the man among the three seemed oddly entertaining.

"Ha, good intentions. But..."

"I don't care about you. Our only purpose is to kill Princess Sheila."

"I won't let you."

Sheila watched as the four moved at the same time. When I wondered if the sword man had come to Sheila, Setuna blocked the path and took the slaughter with her right arm. I thought my arm would be cut off, but that's not true, and Setuna burst the swordsman to secure her distance. Shortly after, the Great Swordsman appears in front of Sheila. A fierce grin. Darkness overshadows vision. Dark doll. I got kicked in the back. Vision shifts dramatically. I could see the far ceiling. The light flashes. There was a bowman in the hollow. An arrow of light descends. But the running of light was once again bounced off by Ragna's created barrier, and Sheila fell to the ground intact. I try to get up right away, but my body doesn't move as much as it thinks. It was finally because I wake up my upper body. Then I saw the dark doll shattered. The Great Swordsman glanced at this one, keeping the sword he had wielded out. Beast eyes that captured prey.

I can't move.

(Mother...)

Behind my brain are my days with Celis. Celis Rae-Abard. Celis, Queen of Abad, was Sheila's fruitful mother and someone who kept me watching Sheila grow. Although it seemed distressed to raise Sheila as a man, it was only after Sheila had grown more, and since Sheila no longer needed to be a prince.

"From now on, it's all about you as you were born."

Celis' serene and merciful words were magical words for Sheila to be reborn as a woman. Yes, Sheila was reborn. I had to be reborn.

From prince to princess.

From man to woman,

The fact that the second child born between Reserg and Sellis was a boy was due to the birth of Sayle. But that's all I can say to please you. Because if a human being who is supposed to be a princess behaves as a prince and inherits the throne in the future, as it should be, it is only a distortion.

A princess should behave as a princess, a prince as a prince, but as she is.

Sellis' words must have included such thoughts.

And in the thoughts put into the words, all the affection was shining.

Loved.

Sheila always felt it.

My father, my mother, and my brother loved me for the first time.

That's why I always wanted to go home.

I wanted to return to the royal palace, where my warm family waited, as soon as possible.

"Sheila!"

Shaken violently, Sheila opened her eyes all the way. I didn't mean to close it, I didn't close it, but for some reason, I had that feeling. When the light returned to her sight, Sheila recognized that she was alive. And I recall that he was about to be killed by the Great Swordsman. Seeing, the Great Swordsman was surrounded by dark dolls. It's not just the Great Swordsman. The man of the sword, the man of the bow, was dealing with the dark doll.

"Let's get out of here."

"Run away?"

"They only want to kill Sheila. So run."

Setuna pulls my hand and I finally get up with my thoughts. As long as I stood up, it wasn't hard to get around. Run out with Setuna. Without even shaking your sides, head straight to the aisle inside the arena.

"Is this a runaway place? Not bad."

"but I don't know if I can get away with this number"

Sheila was annoyed by the voice of the man with the great sword. I was wondering. It was inexplicable that thousands of spectators who were supposed to have been inside the arena to watch the public executions showed no reaction whatsoever to the Sheilas' raids or battles with the knights.

I had a bad feeling.

"Count?"

Sheila looked around. A group in the front of the execution site comes into view.

"Setuna, look"

"This is..."

You mean the audience was all Knights, too?

Sheila's vision showed a group of armored helmets who began moving. It is clear from the outfit that it is not ordinary people etc. Dressed in armor helmets, they each have their own specialties in their hands. Swords, shields, pistols, hand axes, sticks - a wide variety of weapons. I just want to think I'm not a subpoena armed like the three of you, but I can't judge you until I see where you're actually using it. But it is clear that there is no long-range subpoena weapon. Sheila and the others, so far, have not been attacked by Knights soldiers.

Put your gaze back in front of you, erasing the nasty idea from your head that it's because you haven't been given an attack order. Forward, the corridor connecting the interior and exterior of the arena is not only in the audience, but also in the battlefield. It is a passage for contestants. From that passage, we're going to the outer contour, and from there, we're going for the underground passage.

But Sheila and the others' escape routes had been blocked by Abad army soldiers. They were chasing us from the audience to the battlefield. He decided not to enter the battle between Sheila and the Knights and focused on blocking the escape route. Only a dozen people. It's not a number of things.

"I should have said it. This is just a ploy to broil Princess Sheila out. You can't involve ordinary people."

"You're so sweet!

"The purpose of the Knights is salvation. I won't tolerate useless killing."

"You're saying killing Sheila isn't helpless!

Setuna stopped her leg and looked back. Sheila looked behind her as she imitated him as she was struck in the chest by his voice.

The three knights of Benoagard had defeated numerous dark dolls and were approaching us.

"Yes."

There is no stray dust in the words of the sword man.
