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

Lesson 997: Something Much More Terrible Than Death (2)

Sheila didn't let go of Heart of Beast for a single time, from when she infiltrated Abad from Ryufu to today. The only time she was away from the subpoena was when she slept, and given the short length of her sleep, it was only a very short time, too. I'm holding my hands without letting go of my skin, probably because Heart of Beast is the source and symbol of Sheila the Beast's power.

Abard, while infiltrating, I didn't know what was going to happen. None of the Esques could have been betrayed. You can't let go of your weapon. Especially if it was in the hands of the enemy, such as a subpoena weapon, it would not have been troublesome.

Sheila is not an armed summoner. We can't send Heart of Beast back to its original world, nor can we re-summon it. Whoever it is possible to do is also dead in the Battle of Endwidge. Serene-Sidor. I remember that he seemed like a kind person. The Serene said he did not give to a faction called the Sheila faction, but went to Endwidge for Sheila and died.

For Sheila.

To keep Sheila alive.

To get her to live a happy life.

There are so many things that have sparked my life.

It was that I could see how Sheila was loved, admired and revered by one of Abad's.

That's why her carelessness just makes her breathless to imagine. Sheila, in a way that responds to the thoughts of such people, Gandia has fled on Zalwarn's side. Hidden in Malwale, it led to the Dragon House. I kept living my days to kill my breath. He could have crawled through the ground, sipped mud, but was ready enough to live. That's how prepared Sheila was to be. She lived for herself to fulfill the wishes of those who died in her place. Sheila herself has no will there.

Sheila just wanted to go back to the king's capital.

He just wanted to go back to the King's Capital, be welcomed by his family, and go back to his usual life.

That was Sheila's wish and desire.

She listened to the wishes of Lahnheil-Lars-Taural and Lena-Taural because she realized that they were things that were out of hope and not fulfilled. Their strong thoughts planted a raw obsession on her. She lived to this day only because the people who admired her strongly wished and wanted it.

So what happens to her if she wants to die?

Setuna shook her head as she walked over to Sheila. Different thoughts swirl around without clamping their heads in. About Sheila. About one person who thinks Sheila. About Abard. About the Abard royal family. About the queen. I had just compiled the information I knew, and it was the current situation that didn't even bring up the contours of truth. So Setuna stopped thinking.

"Sheila."

Setsuna called after approaching a distance of about ten steps. She just checks on the side. The sunset was highlighting her side. Maybe it was annoying because I had never seriously seen her side so far.

"If I fall out of here, I'll die"

"Then you're going to die. Me and Sheila are human beings."

Laugh small. Throw yourself off the roof of a building on the sixth floor of the fifth floor and everyone dies. It's natural because you're human. Where I've worked out, I can't reinforce the brittleness of the human body, etc. It can be called a human limit. How much training, diving through the dead line, and mastering the art of armed subpoena make no difference to a vulnerable creature with many weaknesses. If you fall from height, you die, and if you get stabbed in the flank, you die. It is only a blessing that Setuna has ever been able to live.

Setuna went on to say more as she filled the distance from her little by little. Nine, eight, seven more steps......

"But I won't die"

"What?"

"Ragna protects"

When Setuna laughed, it clouded as she saw Sheila's side.

"Why not?"

Sheila turned away from Setuna. A sunset over the horizon lies ahead of her gaze. Setuna stopped her leg behind her back. Four more steps away. Subtle sense of distance. If you want to bury it, you can bury it, but if you can't bury it, it could be stupid.

"Why won't anyone let me die?"

No one, that would mean Lahnheil, Lena, Serene. That breakup at the Taural fortress Sheila told me is making her give up dying. I was entrusted with raw. There's no way she can ignore that thought with a strong sense of responsibility.

I think Lernheil thought about it a lot, too, Setsuna said. Trusting her life might have been the only way to keep Sheila alive. As a result, I wouldn't have thought Abard would be engulfed in war, even though I wouldn't have thought of just Larnheil.

It remained unclear where that Larnheil was currently. They had not been brought to the venue of a public execution. From Roz-Melan's information, he was undoubtedly transferred to the King's Capital a long time ago, so he may still be locked up in the King's Capital.

Ask.

"You want to die?

"I might want to die."

She turned to us. The setting sunset becomes a backlight, and her expression is covered in shadows. And the gray hair looked like it was burning red.

"If I die, Gandhia's cause will be lost. And your mother will be delighted."

"Sheila......"

Setuna couldn't think of a word to give back to her self-inflicted words, and had no choice but to speak her name. No, there is, but it's a pry where I went.

For example, we are talking about the loss of Gandia's righteousness, but we are talking about Nares. Even if Sheila turns down her life from scratch, she must be thinking about a way to tailor it to justice. It was Nares who foresaw even this situation. Regardless of Sheila's life or death, she seemed to have as many measures in place as she could to create a situation that would be beneficial to Gandia.

She's been pounding and crushing.

"I... I guess I shouldn't have been born"

"That can't be happening"

"Why not? How can you say that?

Sheila's getting all worked up.

"You don't know anything about me. How can you say that if you don't even know about Abard? If I hadn't been born, only Sail would have been born, right? Well, then this couldn't have happened!

"But that means Abard doesn't have a beast princess,"

"That's right!

"That means there's no beast princess who's been protecting Abard's land, and it's likely that Abard's situation has changed dramatically now?

"I guess so..."

She did not deny Setuna's words. but I shake my head immediately and withdraw.

"But that's not the problem. The problem is that my presence caused this. Without me, if I didn't even exist, at least there wouldn't have been civil unrest. Queen's Movement, Sheila's Runaway, Endwidge's Battle, Gandhian Invasion... everything, didn't happen. It's all due to my existence."

"... right"

I couldn't deny it. Even now that we have heard the truth about the civil unrest from Sheila's mouth, not just the announcement of the Abad government, it has not changed that the biggest cause lies in Sheila's presence. Of course, Setsuna doesn't even think of fine dust because Sheila is bad, etc. Instead, I have only the impression that Sheila is a victim and has just been swept around, but still, I can't deny the fact that her activity and popularity have been causing it.

"What am I? What the hell was wrong with me? I've just been fighting for this country, haven't I? I've never thought about being popular, and I've never wanted to be a queen. I was gonna keep fighting until Sail took over the throne, and then I was gonna do anything in a political marriage. I'm glad to hear that. Why, why... this...!

Sheila had slapped her fist on Setuna's chest, but she was too weak, not even in pain. When I realized, at some point, I was out of distance from her. They were stuffing me up all up. Setuna didn't realize that, only because she was concentrating her consciousness on her conversation with Sheila.

"So you live."

Setuna lay her hands on Sheila's right fist thrust against her chest. Continue.

"So you have to live and know the truth."

"Setuna......"

"Why don't you meet Her Royal Highness and listen to me?

Staring, Sheila bowed her face. Maybe we missed our eyes because we didn't like staring at each other. Setsuna is in a situation where she can't help but hate her.

"Yeah......"

"If you still want to die, then..."

"At that time?

Sheila's been looking up. As always, it's in the backlight, but sometimes it means she's at close range, and I can tell her eyes are moist. Maybe he was crying. My chest is tightened.

"Hmmm...... I knew it wouldn't work"

"What the fuck?"

Sheila's voice seemed dissatisfied. Doesn't mean you want me to admit to dying.

Setuna was deliberate and told.

"You belong to me. I won't let you die."

"... Hina. He's a terrible uncle."

Sheila's reaction is calm. But I don't see any significant change in expression. At least, it didn't even seem softer.

"But thanks"

"Hmm?"

"Truth be told, it was all, I knew"

Sheila let go of the Heart of Beast can be seen by the sound of metal. It's unclear why she let go of the axe spear, but she may have decided it was unnecessary now. Is it reassuring?

"The circumstances surrounding this Abard are all my fault. It's my scattered seed. It all started when I couldn't stop the Sheila outbursts. Blame it on others, claim that you're the only one who survived and that you're in a whirlpool of tragedies... even though it's all your fault"

Sheila's monologue continues. Setsuna just can't help but ask you. There was no room to pinch my mouth, and that's what I have to say is impeccable.

"I should have kept my promise to Lernheil. Forget about Abard and all, if I lived in Gandhia, this wouldn't have happened. I'm the one who took Setuna to Abard. You're a traitor. That's the brand I deserve, not at all."

Whether the ironic thing is that she's back on track. At least, the expression and tone didn't have the usual sheila-like brightness. However, the complexity as shown in front of the Nares had disappeared and could be lost, and Setuna also learned relief in that regard. Little by little, but surely Sheila seems to be regaining her stability.

"It's also my fault Gandhia moved the army in the name of rescuing me, isn't it? This happened because not only did I hide in Gandhia, but I relied on Setuna and had a deep connection to Gandhia. I'm the one who gave the Master the opportunity to plot. It's not anyone else's fault. Of course, it's not Setuna's fault either. It's all my fault."

Sheila's monologue was something she always blamed on herself. Self-blame seems to be oppressing her mind, and that thing tightens Setuna's mind. I'm sure it comes from the strength of the sense of responsibility, but what the hell is this strength of Sheila's sense of responsibility? Was it something you were born into a royal family and wore as a prince, or was it something you were born with?

In any case, it was that Sheila was the one who created the tide that Abad's next king deserved, and that he could also see that Abad as a whole was wrapped up in such enthusiasm. Sheila can expect you to reign as a good queen. Of course, I understand very well what she doesn't want herself to do.

"So we need to see it through. We have to see it through these eyes until the end of this war. There will be a lot of blood, and a lot of one will die. It's my role to see it all through. I have no choice but to play this role altogether, whether they are cursed or resented by a multitude of people, even if they are cursed with traitors. If I ran away from it, I wouldn't even have a face to match my mother. Meet your mother. Meet me. Listen to me."

Sheila's resolute voice makes her feel more secure.

"Why did you want to do that and kill me? You can't die until you hear the truth."

Sheila stacked her right hand over Setuna's hand so that she could wrap it up with both hands.

"So, jerk off"

Sheila has told me that, but she never made Setuna smile.

Her smile has remained lost since then.

That was my feelings for Setuna, but that's why I can't do anything.

"I'm relieved to hear that."

That said, I just had to smile at her.
