Lesson Thousand Seven: What is a Military Master? (8)

"Twenty-one days."

It was in the middle of the night that Leongand spewed out the words with a deep sigh.

The room through which Leongand was passed was a room reserved for guests on the second floor of Castle Seilern, where a number of light-ball conditioning items were installed, and various things, such as paintings on walls and decorated demonic crystal lamps, created a sense of luxury. But that kind of luxury is also somewhere cold in front of the heavy, sad air that can stand inside this place.

It's night, so it won't even mean it's cold.

"Will Abard be calm in those days?"

Gilvere gave Leongand a little glimpse into his casual words and looked around. Indoors, there is only Leongand and its sides. In other words, only the four men, Leongand, Gilvale, Elius and Zephyr, the captains and squadrons of The Lion's Fang, and the third army regiment captain on the Gandhian side or less, will be waiting in separate rooms, and will not move until there is a separate life from Leongand.

The problem is, it's not there.

This is Seylan, the king's capital of Lucion, in its central Seylan castle. It's not what I found out where Lucion's eyes are and his ears are. It's hard to imagine Halberg monitoring Leongand, who won't stop respecting him as his brother-in-law, but that's also why you can't be alarmed.

"You have nothing to worry about. At least this room isn't under surveillance."

"Really..."

"But I guess that's how you don't always fail to grasp the situation, that's something like Gilvere"

"I'm afraid."

Gilvere felt something cold on her back and retightened her expression.

After a while, Elius opened his mouth.

"Abard, but are you sure you're glad to leave it to Lord Nares?

A native of the Royal Logner family and reigning for a time as King of Logner, he was sometimes younger than Leongand and seemed to be building a pattern somewhere between Leongand and his brothers. It has been nearly a year since Logner was flattened by Gandia. In the meantime, Elius continues to embody only his loyalty to the Royal Gandia and Leongando, if he does not utter any resentment or anything about the destruction of Logner. So Leongand may be putting him on his side and heavily using him.

"Oh. Leave it to Nares, I'm sure. He would lead us to the best possible outcome for Gandia. Berel was."

"Berel......"

"Abard is an ally... but I don't need to hear anything but what he has to say."

What Abard said was, turn over Princess Sheila, whom Gandhia had hidden. It was five days later, seven days later, that the statement made by Abad on June 2 reached Gandion, the king's capital. The royal palace made a fuss because it was exposed under the day that Princess Sheila was alive and Gandia was hiding, and also because it was found that Uncle Setuna had made a case in Abad territory with Princess Sheila.

But there was nothing like Leongand disturbing it. All he said was that he left the response to Abad to Nahles-Ragnahorn. Leongand apparently knew that Sheila was alive and hidden under Uncle Setuna. That just didn't seem to have been notified to Zilveer or the rest of the neighborhood, and it turns out that he, who cares about sharing information with the neighborhood, also hides what he should hide.

Nevertheless, the fact that the real Sheila was alive was information that should never be divulged, nor could it be known that Leongands or the military masters had concealed it through, and that did not make Gilvale uncomfortable with the Leongands. Most of the other information is given to Zilveer. For example, I have been wary of Giselcoat, the fruit father of Gilveer, and I have even told him without a cowardice that I suspect Gilveer might be at his mercy.

"About Princess Sheila, it's Abard's problem. Being involved in it would mean interference in internal affairs, but I can't help it if this happens. Princess Sheila relied on Setuna for her country. I can't keep it down any more than I've been relied upon. In Abard's words, if Princess Sheila abandons Princess Sheila, who has been in distress and begging for help, she will show Gandia's heart in full heaven. Gandhia is a country that abandons the weak."

Leongand narrowed his eyes in that way.

"Well, Setsuna wouldn't have concealed Princess Sheila by thinking so deeply, but there was a Nares in the Dragon House, and he acquiesced in Setsuna and Princess Sheila's going to Abad. I wonder if Nares even expected this to happen."

"Until this happens..."

"A military teacher is a man like that who is a nurse-lagnahorn"

I can see that Leongand's confident expression and words come from his trust in Nares. Gilvale's mild jealousy would have been due to the fact that he had come to serve in the Royal Palace, admiring Leongand and wanting to be one of Leongand's arms. It is Nares who stands where Zilvale wants to be. How can I be a person who will be placed in full confidence, like Nares? Gilvere's head has all that.

"That's why I'm afraid to lose it"

"Lose..."

Crushing in disdain, Leongand silenced for a while. I wandered my gaze like I was searching for words, then I sighed small. Maybe I reacted that way because I was horrified to put it into words. Because putting it into words only means recognizing reality.

"... it's only a matter of time before his life counts run out"

By a word of Leongand, the indoor, which was originally in tranquility, was wrapped in heavier silence.

The Nares-Ragnahorn in Zilveer's memory is him more than six years ago. For the sake of the ploy, his figure before he broke up with Leongando floated behind Gilvale's brain. Much older than Gilvale and Leongand, at first glance, he was a good man and a cool person in sight. Found talented in the Ciuss Cloud, he gradually emerged as the headmaster and had already made a name for himself at the time six years earlier as a Gundian military master. Most importantly, at the time, his talent was demonstrated, not on an outing, but only on the defense of the land, but his appreciation grew because every one of those battles was even amazing. Zalwarn wanted a nurse, too, only because such an increase in appreciation did not remain in the country and spread out to the outside world.

It was only after the Zalwarn War that it was found out that Nares had served Zalwarn because it destroyed Zalwarn from within, and until then, Zilvere had just thought that Nares had really abandoned Gandhia, as far as Leongand was concerned. Don't follow a prince like Nahless who abandons him - it was one of the reasons Gilvale quit Leongand and caged him in Kernall.

I guess I think about Nares because his words and actions have changed Zilvale's life.

If only Nares hadn't left Leongand's former place, Gilvale must have also made the choice to remain on Leongand's side. I should have stayed on Leongand's side and kept crushing myself for him. I don't know if I got Leongand's letter as a result, but at least I have no doubt he was in a different position now.

Nevertheless, if Nares hadn't done Zalwarn's weak work, Gandia might not have won the battle against Zalwarn, in which case Zilvere might not have been in the world right now, even if he had been near Leongand's side.

(Teacher…?)

After all, it's something I can't be.

Gilvere thought so as a real feeling, looking out for Leongando's distant obsession. And I gave my thoughts to the land of Abad, far away. I could only imagine what situation Abard was in at present for the Gilvales in Lucion. Far away. Communication of information takes less than a few days. That's why Leongand entrusted Nahless with full powers over Abad. Even if you are giving orders from the Wang capital, it will take too long. There's also a good chance I'll miss some kind of opportunity. Then you can leave everything to the military master.

Though Leongand's ideas were dangerous, they were sensible.

The night deepens.

The Book of Darkness covers the sky and the stars adorn the darkness. Only the immense light of the moon was unusually bright, illuminating the township of Cesar with splendour.

June 18th at 8pm.

The early summer night breeze stroked his broken cheeks with strange warmth, passing as it was.

(Night)

He was alone. He stands alone in a room at the Abad Army Garrison headquarters facility in Ceasel. It was finally time to stand. Finally, I could walk up to the window. Ein told me not to do it, and face-to-face with the General Staff told me to sleep on the bunk, but there's a reason why it's impossible to see the view out the window. He was feeling somewhat optimistic and looked out the window.

The sun set completely. The light of the Demonic Crystal lamp leaks from all parts of the Abad Army Garrison, and it can be seen that no one is asleep yet. The night is coming, but it's just a light, and it's not hard to imagine that it actually is. Of course, it is forbidden to stay up late in the military, but it is not immediately a battle. It didn't even make a scene like that.

(Night…)

Look down at your hand grabbing the window frame. Fingers like bones and skin alone are grabbing the window frame and stabilizing the body. I don't have enough strength to stand if I haven't grabbed something. Only bones and skins mean there's no meat. My muscles have rapidly lost weight in less than the last ten days.

The poison that was served in Zalwarn is now beginning to wield fierceness.

It's good to have Meryl in the Dragon House, he sincerely thought. I didn't want to show this to my loving wife. Merrill sees the worse of Nares, but at that time Nares may be called a state of cardiac depression, and he didn't think anything of it when he was seen. Not now, no. It is the flesh that fades rapidly, and there is no shadow to see such as the figure of the warrior Nares, but the mental state has never been more elevated. You can say it's overflowing.

(It's the night of my life)

The sun that rises with the birth of life is no longer set, only waiting for the end of the night.

(Night is dawn)

I know this night won't last a month.

It was also there that Nares hastened his march to Abad. I can't negotiate with Abard to buy time. It was a consultation.

(While this night continues)

If my life were to run out, at least, I wanted to accomplish one more thing I could do for Gandia. At the very least, I wanted to spend this life for Gandia.

Even if your life runs out in this land of Abad, you have no regrets.

I have a successor. Plus, you two.

That's enough, he thinks.

(Let's leave the rest to them)

As a result, if Gandhia went the wrong way, it's just that he didn't have Nares' eyes to see at that time.

That's all there is to it.
