"Is it true that Sheila showed up?

Realizing that his opponent's squeezed voice was full of pain, he narrowed his eyes.

"Yes."

Sid Zan-Rufaus nodded quietly as he looked out for the rear of King Abad, Reserg Ray-Abard.

A room in the royal palace, the centre of the Wangdu Bandor. In Reserg's private room, there was only him and two kings. Though a friendly country, it was unintentionally extreme, such as letting the knights and kings of other countries stand alone, but if the king himself wanted it, his ministers would not be able to reject it.

Reserg has always been.

Sid and the others. When hearing the report by the knights of Benoagard, in the private room of Reserg, Sid was the only one to do it. Bain or Rowfa have never set foot in Reserg's private room. Only Sid, the representative, was allowed to enter.

Why, it's a private room.

It's the easiest reason.

If it was a meeting between people, it would be public, and it would be difficult to talk about our intentions. The public place did not deserve to be a place to tell the truth.

"If you use the name of the late Larnheil, Sheila will always come out - did you do what I told you to do?"

"Yes."

"Sheila, my daughter still thinks of her subjects."

"Yes."

Sid did not deny Reserg's words.

That's exactly what Sheila Lewe-Abbard's figure is. Princess of the Beast of Subordinate Thoughts. For the sake of the royal family, for the sake of the people, take the initiative and go to the battlefield to fight through and bring victory, without even having to shed his own blood. That's a person named Princess Sheila, and that's why she was so popular with the nation. A royal man has fought in the lead, and more effectively than anyone else. It couldn't be unpopular, and I couldn't help but see the argument that the people were enthusiastic and that she was the one who should carry the future Aberd sweeping across Aberd.

Sid himself, Sheila became queen and wondered if it would work better to rule Abard.

Abard's successor to the current king Reserg is Prince Sayre, who will be nine this year. By contrast, Sheila is twenty-three this year. Reserg was old and not strange whenever he left the throne. In that case, however, the age of the successor becomes a problem. Prince Sayle was too young to be able to conduct politics. Of course, if Prince Sayre succeeds to the throne even today and tomorrow, ministers and others will be his aides and will carry out politics.

But you let him get away with it.

"Yes."

Affirming, Reserg, who was looking out the window, glanced at this one. The gray hair representing the blood of the Abard royal family sways, with a slight peek of a bittersweet look.

There was never a time when Reserg showed his reassuring face. He is always in agony. He and his queen, and the royal people, are not happy about the situation. Everyone suffers, everyone grieves, everyone troubles.

Because everyone loves Sheila.

"Our fault is all we can say."

"... but don't you think a black spear has put in a cross spear"

"That's an excuse."

What floated behind Sid's brain was the sight of a battle in the arena. Setuna's movements changed from the moment she summoned the black spear. In the restricted Sids, it was the speed and the power to finally respond. But the opponent, too, was holding back his power. It's like you're afraid to kill the Sids, that way of fighting. That's why both forces antagonized.

Neither of us is fighting for real.

"Whatever you say is only an excuse when you fail to serve your purpose"

"… good. Fine. Sheila's just found out that she's alive and that she's a national thought the same."

Reserg had a distant eye. I can't even imagine what's in his eyes, Sid without God. But from his mouth, I know what he's thinking. Reserg does not want the purpose to be fulfilled.

"Nevertheless, Gandhia"

"If the princess were to be relied upon, it would be Gandia or Squid."

Sheila's speculation that she might have flowed into Gandia after disappearing from Taural flowed within the royal palace may not have been inevitable in some ways. Among Abad's neighbors, Gandhia was the one most deeply involved with Princess Sheila. It was Princess Sheila who contributed to Abard's friendship with Gandhia. It is no exaggeration to say that the friendship between Abard and Gandia was formed by the efforts of Princess Sheila.

It was largely due to Sheila's activism that she took part in the Kruselk war and, as a result, the expansion of Abad's territory.

Another candidate, Ishika, has the story that Bow Saints Saran-Kilclade and Sheila, who led Ishika's army in the Kruselk War, were deepening their rapport. That is also because, in the Kruselk war, the Isican and Abad armies often acted together.

"Gandhia... Setuna the Black Spear..."

If Sheila had just been hidden by Gandhia, it would still have been good. If that's all, it can't be a problem unless you discover it.

But if Gandia has been pointing that supreme force, Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard, it's not the story. It was inevitable to develop into a political issue, a diplomatic issue, which both Princess Sheila and Setuna should have understood. It would be an act of acceptance. No matter how much it took to serve Sheila's purpose, it forced another country to invade its power. Moreover, the outrage of ruining public executions is nothing more than interference in politics.

Abard will protest Gandia nearby to address the issue.

"... hell I have to wait for a report of my daughter's death"

"If that's what Her Majesty wishes."

"It's also... my sin"

Reserg told him quietly.

"I've made Sellis feel hard"

Neither did Sid know the sincerity hidden in Reserg's words.

Speaking of what Sid knew, it meant that to bring stability to Abad, the country had to be dyed with the colors of the Prince Sail sect, and to do so, Sheila had to be discussed. And it's Celis who wants it, and to save Celis from suffering, it means he doesn't have to kill Sheila.

After May, we celebrated June.

On June 5, the season was approaching summer, but there was no significant change in the situation in which Setuna and the others were placed. One thing I can say is that it hasn't changed.

The assistance provided by Sentier's inn, the Star Shimmer pavilion, also continued as usual, and it seemed as if Setuna's worries had ended in concern. Of course, I can't stay alert yet. The lack of change in the situation means that Abad is still in the midst of unrest over Sheila's survival. If the actions of the "Shimmering of the Stars" pavilion are suspicious, and it turns out where the fortifications are hidden by Setuna, they will find themselves in a state of distress.

Most importantly, neither the master of the Star Glitter pavilion nor the former mercenaries of the Sydney mercenary regiment working at the Star Glitter pavilion should have known until the location of the fort where Setuna and the others would take refuge. The carriage at the "Star Glitter" pavilion delivers supplies from the first place that brought the Setunas down, not from the depths of the woods. The location of the fort is deep in the forest. It is in such difficulty that it cannot be traced by carriage. It means that even if the carriage is tracked, it won't even be discovered to the location of the fort.

Nevertheless, being tracked by carriages means witnessing a strange sight of waste being unloaded from carriages off the streets, which reinforces suspicion of the "Star Glitter" pavilion as well as even turning out that there is something near the streets. Sometimes like that, the "Shimmering of the Stars" pavilion had given me great care in carrying supplies.

In addition to food and clothing, supplies were also delivered to me in a collection of newspapers for a few days.

The gathering of information is something that the Sydney mercenary regiment led by Esque-Soma also does, but newspapers delivered along with supplies also served a great deal as a source of information. Thanks to the newspapers, I was able to get a crush on the Abad government's trends and the domestic situation.

that the public execution of Lahnheil Lars-Taural and the clan francophone party, scheduled to take place in the Arena of Sentier on the 27th, was halted by a raid led by Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard and postponed indefinitely; That there was a Sheila Lewe-Abbard figure among a group of raiders. And it was made public that Sheila Lewe-Abbard, who had previously executed her in the Wang capital, was fake, and that view was also given as to why she had announced the fake as authentic.

According to that, the announcement that Sheila Lewe-Abbard had been executed was to spare no further useless confusion, because she thought the real Princess Sheila would not make such a big case.

"A case... a case. Don't do that."

Setsuna snapped, looking at the newspaper she had just received.

"The big case is important, Admiral."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Setuna flickered at the newspaper as she glanced at Esq's strangely delightful mouth. Even if they don't say so, I know.

They are in a room on the second floor of the fort. The stone fortress has a chilling air everywhere. It's not just the air that's cold. The floor, the walls, everything is chilled out. I guess it also affects being in the depths of the woods. The wind that blows through is cold everywhere.

In its chillness, the light that plunges through the small window made at the top of the wall is oddly warm. Not a fine one, such as a leaking day, but a strong but mild solar ray even seemed grateful for this chilled out space.

Inside, besides Setuna and Esq, there are Sheila, Ragna and Remill. Doreen said she was taking a water bath in the creek behind her, along with her men. Sheila and I finished the water bath and it was a neat look, but the moment I glanced at the newspaper that arrived earlier, it turned out to be a non-floating face.

Naturally.

According to the newspaper, June 2 - that is, three days ago, the Abad government announced the survival of Sheila Lewe-Abbard, as well as an overview of Sentier's assault on the arena.

It was decided that it was Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard, the collar uncle of Gandia, and his flavor that raided Sentier's arena, which was the venue for the public execution, and Sheila Lewe-Abbard, who gave the guide. No, it's not a mistake. In fact, you were right. Setuna helped Sheila fulfill her wishes and raided the Sentier arena by her guide. You can't deny that.

But looking only at the Aberd government's announcement, the wording was leaping in such a way that Sheila Lewe-Abbard could only have attracted Gandhia's forces of war in order to disrupt Aberd's politics, and that Sheila had worked for Gandhia to support the Queen from Mizumi.

In fact, it was an article to that effect, and it was tightened with a sentence meaning Sheila Lewe-Abbard ended up with a traitor.

"Traitor......"

Sheila's hand with the newspaper was shaking, probably because what the word meant was so shocking that it was even against her thoughts.

"How do you think Gandia will get out?

"... I don't know"

Setuna said just that, looking ahead to Esq's ironic grin. Esq only distorted the grin more, though nothing more.

The sarcastic smile didn't bother me.
