Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- I guess we should talk about how I was.

Elliot says after Ashley finishes his story.

Instead of saying words directed at Ashley... I guess the fact that they've turned their gaze on us also implies that we're going to be talking about Zadias tangles.

"Before we do that, let's finish introducing ourselves to each other"

"Yes, you did."

Elliot gets off the sleeping table and gives a pass, then breathes heavily before naming herself.

"Elliott...... my name is Rodias-Sirn. Thanks again"

What were your thoughts on the name? Elliot meditates slightly after naming him.

"I'm Theodor-Gartner. Nice to meet you."

"Oh. Were you on the edge of Count Gartner"

"My parents are. Now he's out of the house."

These faces will also return their names as they return to Elliot's name.

Elliot had her eyes rounded around having all three Verdogal royalties, but the title of my fiancée went on, so a slightly dry laugh was leaking.

"As such, well... if that's all the strength, is that also the case"

Hmm. Looks like I still remember when Caexgem came with it. If so, I may also get a lot of information about Prince Wang.

When Elliot coughs up one, she shakes her blanket to regain her mind.

"Let's get back to it. Uh. Yes, is it from six years ago?"

"Do you remember?

"... at the time... maybe I really forgot"

Touching the burn marks on his face, Elliot says.

Again. Was Gem inhibiting his recovery from memory loss?

"Six years ago - after receiving a letter from Kennel - I boarded a ship to return to Baron Siln's territory. But... on the way home, we were raided offshore."

"To whom?

If the ship's accident is not the kind of disaster, but an assault - Zadias' subordination as a candidate. Or it would be an accidental encounter with such people as demons, demons and pirates. But it's hard to think that Zadias will launch a raid to get Elliot...?

"Zadias...... and its subordination. Now that I have my memories back, I can tell you."

But Elliot, instead of Zadias' handler, even says it was him.

"Why did you aim for Sir Elliot?

"They didn't aim at me, they had other purposes. I mean... you were after another passenger. The sorcerer was fighting the raiders. From the very beginning, the raiders were aimed at one magician, and it seems that all the other sailors and passengers who were witnesses were going to kill them."

"That's... maybe Lisa's..."

Grace frowns.

"Yeah, I think so."

Mage chased by Zadias. If you're guessing from materials in your hand, for example, escaped from a sage academic league, or something like your mother's peers? Did Zadias find out where you are, or was he cornered? Anyway, I tried to escape by boat. But I couldn't escape... so I was lucky enough to run into Elliot's boat.

"I resisted, too. I beat some of them down, but I was magically blown away, hit in the head, unconscious."

So, the next time he noticed, he lost his memory and was being treated somewhere. Those who led the raiders there - Zadias also showed up. Yes, Elliot says.

Zadias liked Elliot's skill in defeating his subordination and his magical qualities, which were specific to water magic, and tried to incorporate him as his subordination without even caring about his origins.

Should I say fortunate to be unhappy there? Maybe Elliot was worth the fight.

Besides, Elliot, who hit him in the head, has temporarily lost his memory, which means that with Caexgem, it was even possible for Raider Teng himself to replace his benefactor.

"I was hazy then because I was injured and couldn't move... but I remember only a little conversation Zadias had with the others. He said it was an experiment about gems. He said that he would eventually make it mandatory for the people to wear it, and that he would see the long-term effects of wearing it."

"Oh, my God, Brother Elliot..."

"Ridiculous story..."

Ashley frowns and Princess Stephania waves her wear.

... What makes wearing such a magical creature compulsory for the public? What kind of distopia do you dream of? If Zadiaz were to remain king like this, it would be outrageous.

But, well, I got a general history.

"That's how they gave me the new name Benedict. We continued to train and study magic as we treated our wounds."

Training for treatment. After that, he will be judged strong enough to be elected to the Magic Knights. That's roughly two years after the ship's raid.

It also fits when most of the ship accidents have cooled. Zadias picked up a competent magic swordsman who lost his memory from somewhere and put it up, so it could be his feat, and it could be used as a beauty story.

"Zadias talks about letting his subordinates raid..."

"... it's not us. In our position, it was difficult to find information about Zadias..."

Marquis Jilbolt shakes his head to the side. Well...... I guess so. Because he took hostages against the Marquis Jilbolt and released insiders, and also used them as his scapegoats.

"They are independent magical knights direct from Zadias. You're an elite unit called the Black Knight, elected by Zadias himself. I was also a liaison between the regular Magic Knights and the Black Knights..."

"Black Knight...... Does that mean they're manipulated with gems?

"To the best of my knowledge... there should have been no one else like me"

Black knights direct from Zadias. If they are not manipulated, they are Zadias' katanas, and you can see them as real handkerchiefs, trumpets.

"That sounds troublesome. He said he was entrusted with a job that he couldn't shake off, and that he was obeying at his will."

Rosemary frowned and Claudia nodded.

"If Zadias loses, they'll be ruined."

Right. If he had also undertaken dark work as an executor, he and Prince Wang would have been a lotus student. All these guys should not be complacent when hunting down Zadias and see that it could be a battle.

"... I understand the story"

"On my own...... I'd like to ask you something"

"What is it?

"Can't you take me to the king's capital, too? As you can see, I'm not hurt either. I want to help you."

Elliot says with a serious look.

"That... will be an important witness, so as for this one, I appreciate the story... No one will blame you for choosing to return to Baron Siln's territory. You and Mr. Kennell and everyone in your hometown will want to meet."

"I say pretend not to look at it like this...... I also know the Wang capital, so if anything happens, I will regret it. Besides, isn't my sister going to accompany Lord Theodore?

... I see. So the emancipation from Gem overshadowed my appreciation of Prince Wang and my feelings for the people of Silvatoria.

Even if he had received some guidance from Caexgem, some degree of free will would have remained if it had not been about parts of his past memories and suspicions about Prince Wang.

The only way it works is if it interferes with certain things. The lack of a bad reputation for Benedict himself is also part of the convincing.

If so, not everything in the days I lived as Benedict was fake. Maybe there's something I want to check because I was released from the bondage of the jewels.

Turning her gaze to Ashley, she nodded back with a slightly crucified but willed look.

"Okay. I would now also like to ask you to lend Sir Elliot's help. But for once, it's a sickness, and don't be too uncomfortable and impotent."

"Thank you. Near town, waiting for Hippogriff. I was wondering if it would be a hassle to travel."

Elliot bows his head deeply and says that.

Hippogriff. You're a guy named Griffon and the horse's son. The story is that temperament is calm and easy to get used to for riding. Maybe it's something I kept out of town as a means of escape. If the enclosure could be broken, there would have been a calculation to escape back to the Wang capital.

But, well, apparently, we can leave for the King's Capital at the right time.

I guess I'll have to collect his stuff and stuff from the inn first, because it'll take the form of Elliot accompanying him.
