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

Episode One Hundred Twenty-One: Enemy or Alliance (V)

Isla Lewe-Berell is the princess of Berel.

Berel. It was one of the smaller countries belonging to the group of small continental States and, as regards the area of national territory, was little different from that of the Gandia side. It was located northeast on the Gandia side and had an enemy country called Gibelle to the north. Because of that, Berel became a Gandhian country, but that's not a problem or anything else. It was Berel who relied on Gandhia without thinking about it later, and it was Gandhia who made the truce agreement with Gibelle, and it was also because of Gandhia who did not have to lose all the national territory, that it was the right option to go under that asylum. Without the help of Gandia, it is an unquestionable fact that the country would have been doomed.

Because we know that, Isla made it a good idea to be offered as a hostage by Gandia. Instead, I was happy somewhere in my mind to be able to get away from Berel, so I can't finish it myself. It wasn't that I didn't love Berel, and that the people and the royal family loved him from the bottom of their hearts, no doubt.

But I'm pretty sure I was uncomfortable with a country called Berel somewhere. I can't help it. It feels strange. It's like it's not my place, that feeling. Shouldn't I be here - I've felt that way since I was a kid? After his brother was born and he was granted the right to inherit the throne, he became convinced. Are you a person who doesn't want to be in this country, and one who respects himself, he doesn't think anything of it in his heart?

I often didn't like my lowliness like that.

One day like that, she was taken hostage as she came down and gushed. It's an ancient lesson from a small group of nations. If it becomes a dependent country, it is supposed to send hostages to its rulers as a sign, as a pledge not to betray them. Berel chose her as a hostage. If there are only princes and princesses, it is only natural to choose a princess who does not have the right to inherit the throne. Isla was also very convinced. I can't think of anything like taking the next king hostage.

It's for the country.

I can be good for my country, and then I can leave my country regardless of the will from Mizu.

I couldn't be happier for Isla.

And there was no mistake in that idea.

Living in Gandhia, which has been held hostage, was much more comfortable and much freer than she had imagined. Because it's called a hostage, I imagined something more disabling. I was even prepared to be locked inside the room, but Gandia made it foolish for Isla to walk around in the royal palace, even freeing her to walk within the royal palace compartment. As long as I gave permission, I could even walk downtown. Even Berel's unthinkable freedom blew her depressed mood and changed the world.

If the world changes, the people you meet look fresh too.

Everything looked new and beautiful.

An encounter with one set Isla's soul free.

"Isla, you're not feeling well."

In words inadvertently thrown at him, Isla felt like she was going back to reality. Blink and remember where this place is. She is present in one of the rooms of the building known as the rear palace, which shines brightly in the Gandia Royal Palace section. The lord of the room is Gracia Leia-Gandia, the queen. She is the mother of King Leongand and ruler of this rear palace.

When I looked at her, Gracia had a worrying look on her face. Less wrinkled, youthful and beautiful faces did not make Gracia imagine her actual age. Whenever she sees it, she's the beauty owner who gets depressed, and Isla doesn't know how many times she envied her.

"Yes, do you see it?

"Yeah, I think I'm a little lonely."

That said, Gracia, she's been laughing mischievously.

"Ellius isn't here."

"Yes......!?

"Ugh. If I saw your rapport, I'd be happy to me."

"Your Highness..."

Isla was just out of line.

I never thought Gracia would know.

She was right.

Isla is in love with Elius.

Elius-Logner. Logner, the last king, became a Gandhian nobleman after Logner was defeated and swallowed up by Gandhia. As a Gandhian nobleman, he is busy participating in the Zalwarn war and coming to the political arena, and also losing his father during the attempted assassination of his collar. It didn't take long for me to get close to him like that.

He called me.

Shortly after coming to Gandhia, not knowing the right or left, and when he was thin, Isla, instantly fell in love.

Maybe it was because of that that the world looked beautiful.

"Don't get married."

"Yes......!?

I thought my heart would stop. So much shock pierced her chest and whitened inside her head.

"I don't think it's a bad story for Gandhia or Berel about Elius and Isla's marriage."

It may have been because of Isla's feelings that Gracia was the first to raise her political reasons.

"Ellius is no longer pushed. Near Leon's side. Isla is a princess of Berel, even though she's a hostage. If you tie them together, the ties between the two countries will deepen, right? If you have a disability, your father and your mother will forgive you."

Gracia's story was convincing.

"Oh, um..."

"What?"

"Oh, the..."

"Isla, don't you want to marry Elius properly?

"Well, that's not it...!

Isla didn't know how to explain her current state of mind to Gracia, and she went awry. And he kept getting pushed by Gracia as he wandered off.

Elius-Logner is stepping on the land of Lucion for the first time in his life.

I've never set foot south of Logner, and I've visited Gandhia since Gandhia defeated me and advised me to live in Gandhion, the king's capital. Until then, I never left the land of Logner, nor did I intend to. I've been to Zalwarn. But there was no choice. Logner was ruled by Zalwarn for more than five years. It was only natural for the prince of his country to go and inquire about the mood of the ruler's king.

However, Elius was fortunate, not to be held hostage. Elius, heir to the throne, was avoided hostage by the plea of Cyril, father and then king. Instead, he was taken hostage by his real brother Arles, who said he had gone to the Dragon House as a hostage and was there to encourage him to study.

Arles is no longer in the world. He was furious at Astar's rebellion, took Zalwarn's army and attacked Logner, and although it was only he who took control of Recondahl, he lost his power because of Zalwarn's return and ended the war without being able to fight either. Although I should have complied with Gandia as it was, he resisted to the end and, as a result, lost his life.

It was something stupid, and Elius felt sorry for his brother's lack of accommodation. At the same time, I think that if that's how you got through your will, maybe it was a life that wasn't bad. When I think of my father's life, which he kept flirting with, I just died willingly, maybe.

(No... is that not true)

In the chest, shake your head.

Arles must have wanted to live more. He started an army for Logner. Defeating the renegade Astal-Lanadies and getting Logner back was what Earles was all about. It is not a satisfactory way of dying, such as losing your life in a situation where you did not fulfill that purpose and were deprived of your country.

But the only way for him to survive was to dump Recondahl and escape, or go down to Gandia. He could neither escape nor descend. His character made him do that. The stubborn, firm and irreconcilable character became a vendetta.

To not be like him is to have flexible thinking.

(Flexible)

Looking forward to the left, there is the side of Leongando Ray-Gandia. From the side of the lion king looking out the window of the carriage, it can be imagined that he came this far through various ordeals. It's something I don't have to imagine. The majority of his ordeal, I know. Many are wars, but war is not the only ordeal. Through the ordeal, I've come this far.

So far.

Nevertheless, from his listed dreams, it is still halfway down the road and far to go.

Unity of small groups of countries.

It's a big dream.

Such a dream story that doesn't even make it a joke.

It takes overwhelming force to make it happen.

It was impossible in a weak country like Gandhia. It shouldn't have been possible. Leongand, however, showed the possibilities by lowering the logner, lowering the Zalwarn and lowering the Kruselk. Gandia's national territory spread instantly, obtaining several times more prints than in the initial period. The power of the country has swelled, and I can't even see the shadow of what it was like to be a weak, small country, Gandhia.

If we continue to move forward like this, it may not be possible to unify the group of small States either.

(Forward)

That means we keep fighting.

War is not the only thing. External travel is not the only thing. Sometimes it will be resolved in politics. Some countries will surrender before the overwhelming difference in power and before they fight. It is not unlikely that as the national territory expands, so will more countries like that. but gundia isn't the only one fighting. There are also stories of the impact of Gandhia's sudden start to expand, or that various countries in the small group of countries are moving to expand their national territory and some have disappeared.

The war will not end.

At least until Gandhia unifies the group of small nations, the war will not subside.

Battle after battle.

Bleed enough to overflow and make enough corpses to fill the ground.

That's what fighting is all about. It means someone dies. There is no such thing as a fight where no one dies.

(That's what it means to keep fighting)

Elius thinks.

What is waiting for you to keep fighting and get there?

Is it that glorious glory days await for Gandia?

There, do I have myself?

Is there a place for my own children and grandchildren, even without me?

"Lord Ellius, what do you want?

Second, I get annoyed by the words I remember.

That was the first time I had been asked what I wanted.
