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

Episode One Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Five: The Royal Family of Maldia

It was on the afternoon of the fourteenth that the Setuna army, led by Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard, left Mardion, the king's capital.

What makes up the army branded Setuna Army is a woman named Urk, a man named Midgard, to the Black Beast Squad full of women led by Setuna and his servants, Rem, Ragna and Sheila. It seems that Urk and Midgard are not part of the Gandhian army, if not a raw Gandhian, but they are trustworthy figures in Setuna. That's what I hear when Yuno is staying at Gandion. Urk was a woman of such beauty that she did not think she belonged in this world, and it was not an exaggeration to speak of the most beautiful of the women surrounding Setuna, and on top of that, she was always allowed to wait on Setuna's side. Yuno envied Urk so much that he did not know how many times he envied her like that, but it was the same now that he had dropped off the Setuna army.

At the departure of the Setuna army a great multitude of men were present, and one took his hand in his hand and cheered. Among the Maldia Rescue Army, it is only natural that Setuna's activity is most expected. The name of Setuna the Black Spear is known even in Maldia. When reports arrived in Maldia that a rescue army was formed, mainly in Gandhia, what inspired the heart of one of the Maldians was that Gandhian hero Setuna had been cited at the head of the Maldia rescue force. It was expected that the hero who supported Gandhia's leap would necessarily uproot the rebels and bring Maldia back more than the land of Maldia. When Yuno communicated such a reputation, Setsuna was something she promised me forcefully, while seeming a little lit up.

"I will surely reclaim the land of Maldia."

Regardless, not of Setuna's personal power, but with the help of the rescue troops, he added, but he was mouth-watering as if he were willing to be alone, and Yuno even thought such Setuna dependably. It just took courage and comfort to have Setuna.

Yuno doesn't know what Setsuna's real battle is. The Setuna Review in Yuno was mostly all I heard about it. A number of heroes work as useful actors in Gandhia leaps. I don't know if all of that is real, and there could be a mix of exaggerations in there. But it seemed to her to see Setuna's training and the martial arts at the ceremony that there was not a single mix of lies in many of those activities. Even martial arts were overwhelmed. There were times when Leongando said that the true Setuna was stronger and more intense.

Yuno wanted to see the Battle of Setuna at a glance, but that became an unfulfilled wish.

Going back a day ago, Yuno, who was watching the Setuna army awaiting a report from Seal Wale, came up with something. That seemed natural in a sense as the royalty who requested rescue, and although it came to mind, it was never a bad thing. Rather, it is absolutely necessary. That's what justice in Yuno says.

Yuno, along with his brother Julius, spoke of the thought when he was meeting with Jugus Ray-Maldia, king of Maldia as his father.

"Father..."

"What, Yuno"

Jugus Ray-Maldia was a man who, as king, fell into the younger category. I just plugged into my late thirties and my youth is rising from the outside. Of course, he says he is naturally older than Leongand, a king in his twenties, but he also falls into the category of a king in his thirties who is too young. He was young and somewhere nervous, but his pride as King of Jugus was worthy of respect, and Yuno revered and loved his father from the bottom of his heart.

Using nation-building for the people as a sign, Jugus was committed to reflecting the voice of the people in his administration, and modestly, he was a king to be called famous. I know I see too much in my eyes, but since Jugus inherited the throne, good governance has continued to be laid in Maldia, and there has never been anything about the people being flirted with by royalty or politics. That is a matter of pride for Yuno, leading to planting his pride as a man of the Royal Maldia.

That's why she suggested to Jugus.

"I'd like to accompany Setuna, too."

"... accompanied?

Jugus frowned. The fine white skin characteristic of the Northerners is also inherited by Yuno and Julius.

"Yes, that's what I know as the name of the family of Mardia."

"Serve... Serve. If you serve, as I said to His Majesty Leongand, you will also be able to provide battle power from our country."

"No way, are you just going to get it done"

"I don't know, Yuno. Providing power under these circumstances is the same thing as nudging the king's capital."

As Jugus put it, the King's capital, Mardion, leaves little defensive power behind. In the first place, half of the force held by Maldia is throwing itself at the rebels. There is no way that the King's capital can gather all the remaining half of its power into the King's capital, and so on. Nonetheless, there is no other luck than being able to maintain the King's Capital until today. What would have happened if the rebels had been sending their forces to Mardion, not Seal Wale?

The possibility that the King's capital was under control is twelve minutes away.

That's about it, the power of the King's capital was small, not enough. We gave the rescue troops the power to fight without it. As for Jugus, maybe that's enough, but to Yuno, it's not convincing.

"It is not the King's capital that becomes the battlefield, but each city everywhere. It is clear to everyone that the rear king capital is safe. I, the amateur, can tell."

"What do you want?"

"By accompanying me to Setuna, I want to let one of the Maldians know that the people of the Royal Maldia are also on the battlefield."

"That's royal duty, is it?

"I am powerless. You can't fight. But with Master Setuna -"

"Then no."

"Father?"

"Then no."

"Why?

"Maldia offered us the strength to fight. After that, it is our duty to believe in the Rescue Army and to wait for the reward of victory. You're not questioning the victory of the Rescue Army?

"Of course it is. Master Setuna promised. He said he would definitely get Maldia back. Master Setuna will keep his promise. It's not just Master Setuna. Ladies and gentlemen of Gandhia, all the countries that have joined the relief forces, everyone has risked their lives to visit this battlefield in Maldia."

Impossible, such as questioning victory.

Yuno is not familiar with what a battle is. But if I told the civilians who acted with me as a mission, I would have gained enough strength to be sure that I would win. It is often said that it is the power difference that determines the victory or defeat of a battle. The civilians were breathing, saying that the Rescue Army was a large army made up of nearly 20,000 generals, and with all this force, the servant Benoagard would not be the target either.

Yuno was convinced of the victory of the Rescue Army, with stories of such civilians and trust in Setuna, and that is why he sometimes wished to accompany him to the battlefield. Because as long as I'm on Setuna's side, I think my safety will be ensured.

"Then believe me, wait."

Jugus has told me without a nibble.

Cold voices can be empty somewhere. It sounds like some other HR mixed up, and that's it. I can't solve it for Yuno. That's why she eats down.

"But..."

"If Yuno can't, can I?

What Julius interrupts into the story, although it was not unexpected, was in itself unexpected. I didn't think he'd come up with anything like that.

"Brother?

"Yuno cannot handle the sword, but I can use the sword, nor the art of armed summons. I can be a warrior, and I can perform the royal duties of Yuno."

Julius' remarks seemed like an honest theory. Unlike Yuno, it's the ability to fight. That's all, but that would be the absolute difference.

Yuno had no power to fight, naturally because he was raised as a princess, and naturally, as a prince, Julius, raised as the next king, was equipped to fight. On top of that, Julius is learning the art of armed summons with the will of Mizumi.

"... then no"

"Father. I also cherish Yuno's thoughts. The Royal Family of Maldia is formed on the folk grass of Maldia. The royal family cannot be formed without folk grass. Wasn't it you, Father, who said so?"

Julius, staring at Jugus, went. Like him, Jugs always puts the people first. The same was true when the rebellion by the Holy Stone Brigade broke out. The first thing he cared about was whether the people were not at war. In time, he took care to ensure that the people did not fit the damage in the battle by the rebels and staged defeats.

Jugus is sometimes called the Good King. For the people, there was no better king, so much so that people were saying, that Jugus' politics was good, and the state operated well itself. So the rebellion of the Saint Stone Brigade was shocking and not understood by anyone.

"This battle is to save Maldia's folk grass from the war of rebellion and not to restore the royal territory. Only then did my royal family ask for help from other countries. He turned away his shame and outspoken ears and asked for help from other countries. Neither that nor this, not for the royal family, but for the country, but for the people"

"That's right. Julius, you're right. For the people. For the country."

"Then a royal man should go to war as something that stands above the people. Leave everything to the Rescue Army, only the royal people are not to be forgiven, such as living in the capital."

"... I got the story. Sure, there's a point."

Jugus, strictly, said. And then, staring at Julius, keep the word going.

"But neither Sora nor Yuno know what a battlefield is. The battlefield is not as gentle as you might think. A battlefield is a world of death and neighborhood. It's not a good place for something you're not prepared for."

"If you're ready..."

"You say there is? If you're ready."

Jugus went to seal Julius' words. Julius, stunned, looked at his father. Yuno couldn't even get into the conversation with the two of them and put his hand on his chest. I hear a heartbeat. It's fierce, it's ringing. It may be since I heard the news of the rebellion that the Throne Room was engulfed with so much tension. That's about it, Jugs had serious eyes.

"There won't be. Then you're nothing but royalty. Born and raised in the royal family, he has naturally enjoyed the royal privilege of being a human being. Then there can be no way he would just be prepared to step into the world of death and neighbourliness. Therefore, you can't do it. I can't do it on the battlefield. We can't let the rescue troops bother us."

Jugus rose from the throne. The glittering king's costume reflects the light of the magic crystal lamp, glittering. Mardia royal costumes are littered with Mardia specialty gems. The costume, which was familiar to Yuno and which he took for granted, also reminds me that it was too flashy in Gandia. It was the king's costume that used much more gems than such Yuno's costume, and it was a substitute for what should be called a rugged luxury.

"You just have to wait. I left everything to the Rescue Army. All you have to do is pray that the rescue troops will eliminate the rebels and the Knights of Benoagard over the land of Maldia. All you have to do is pray for the safety of the grass and the good luck of the Rescue Army General."

As he passed in front of Yuno, the side of Jugus was full of bitterness.

"Despicable, but that's the way the Mardia royal family lives."

So Jugus went away from the sight of the Yunos. That means we're done. It is a sign of willingness not to have any more ears to listen to, and in the future, you will not listen to me if I talk about the same topic.

When Jugus' back disappeared from the throne room, the throne room was wrapped in overwhelming silence along with being freed from tension as soon as possible.

"Father..."

Yuno will never forget about Jugus, who humbly distorted his expression. From the bitter look on his face, it was something that made him feel all sorts of distress in Jugs, and Yuno couldn't find any more words to hang on to. Yuno thought a lot about being Yuno and thought he should accompany Setsuna, but Jugus must have thought more than that.

Yuno knows his horizons are narrow. I can only see what's around me, and when I focus on one thing, I can't even see what's around me. Bad habit, but there's nothing I can do. I guess so this time. All I could see was Setuna, so I came to that conclusion.

"Despicable..."

"Brother."

"Yuno. Your thoughts are not a mistake. Either me or you should accompany the Rescue Corps. But Father didn't get it. Yeah, you know, but you didn't forgive me."

"Father has a father's idea."

"I guess so. I suppose you chose to survive the royal family with humility."

"The survival of the royal family..."

"A child like us who doesn't even know the words on the battlefield accompanies the rescue troops is like going to a dead end. Of course, I don't think the Rescue Corps will put us on the front line, and we'll fall generously protected."

Julius changed his expression a lot after saying that to his self-derision.

"... well. Given that, shouldn't I accompany you?"

"Brother?

"What would the rescue troops do if we were accompanied?

"I don't care what you say..."

Yuno was puzzled by his brother's abrupt question. Yuno is neglected by the military. I can't even think about what will happen just because Yuno accompanied the rescue troops.

"The Rescue Army will have to waste its power to protect us. Even if you hold back, yes. I have to. The rebels can't take us, so we need to thank them for their strength."

"Yes, you will..."

"Being with the Rescue Corps to our self-satisfaction means straining the Rescue Corps."

"So, after all, is it right, as my father said, to wait here for the rescue troops to win"

"Yes, you will."

Julius nods as he walks between the thrones. Yuno follows his brother in the throne room. There is no reason to stay forever between the thrones where no one is.

"Of course, Yuno, I don't think you're thinking wrong"

"Dear brother..."

"I, too, wanted to follow Master Setuna if I could, and I think I should. 'Cause I think that's how something should stand on the folk grass."

"Yes......"

Yuno nodded at Julius' words and was pleased that his brother was thinking the same way he was. Besides, it's the different kinds of favors that make us love each other. I'm honestly glad that's twin brothers and sisters.

It has been so for a long time. Yuno was everything the same as Julius. If there's only one thing different, it means Julius was a man and Yuno was born a woman. That only difference has emerged as a huge difference.

As a prince, Julius was raised as much as possible as the next king deserved. Swords, spears, bows, horses - they learn the skills needed to fight, and they are also well taught about politics and the military. Julius is supposed to inherit the trail of Jugus. Naturally.

As a princess, Yuno was raised to be the man of the royal family. I have lived a life unrelated to politics and the military, for that reason. Dispatch as a mission to Gandia could have been the first political activity. Though I may not have done enough to be able to call it political activity.

It was a pleasure, even for her, for that political activity to bear fruit and for the rescue army to have been formed.

More importantly, it was every unwanted thing that Setuna could have done to be a better person than she had hoped and just to be happy in the same space as him. I never thought I'd find my beloved in this way.

Better yet, I can't take this thought.

Yuno is a princess. I do not have the right to inherit the throne. It is Julius who will succeed to the throne, and if anything happens to Julius, it is to be succeeded by his cousin Yugito, not Yuno. Yugito is the first child of Yugara, Yugus' real brother. Yugala has three sons, each of whom has the right to inherit the throne. Only royal boys had the right to inherit the throne, and girls were never given the right to inherit the throne.

The princess is destined to be used politically.

Yuno, too, will.

Because I'm ready for that, I want to feel this love all over my body right now.

Inside Yuno's chest, who dropped off Setuna, such emotions were swirling all the time.
