Lesson Two: The Truth About Oakrail

"Are you sure you're okay down this road?"

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."

"I don't believe it at all though!?

It's the sewer that's leading me in the crossing of my nose.

The smell is pretty tight.

Water and sewers are available in this king's capital. Probably about this king's capital and the sealed city of Erin.

"What is this place?"

"It's a secret passage to the royal family. If the castle is about to fall, I'll run through here. By the way, it's top secret, so I just know this way to hang myself."

"Don't make me walk in that place! Let me blindfold you!

I thought I was unnecessarily turning left on the street.

If that's the kind of use, I can snort to complicate it.

"Well, it's okay, it's okay, because you've been inhibiting recognition since just now. Sauge can't remember this path. Look, I turned the corner long enough, but did I turn right? Left, I guess?

"I don't... I can't think, can I?

I remember turning the road, but I can't remember right or left.

I have confidence in my memory. Plus, even though I was thinking about when I had to, and trying to learn the way.

"Hey, you're gonna be okay, right?

When I was told to look into it, I realized for the first time that I was being bewitched by a psychiatric interference system.

I've always been wary of this kind of lineage of sorcery.

Yet you bewitch me without me noticing. It's possible to do that. I feel a chill in a woman's ability to twitch in front of me.

"In a different way, I don't think it's going to be okay."

The twitch in front of you is rank 1. And I was able to increase my rank to Rank 2, and when I had to, I thought I could exercise my strength.

But if you had a brilliant magic arm so far, it would change the story.

It's useless for Kuna to resist.

"Be so vigilant.... Ma'am, you don't have to worry. In pure combat, you are stronger. I gave up my strength in my pledge. So it's rank one, and I'm not going to increase it for life."

He says so with a nostalgic face. I'm sure something happened to her.

"And we're here. Look, it's on top of this."

Soon I came to a place with a low ceiling. Reach out and it's going to reach the ceiling.

The key was removed from his chest pocket and the ceiling opened as he twirled it into the key hole in the door on the ceiling.

First, the twitch climbs, then follows.

It was a murderous room.

Clothes, bags, numerous preserved foods, and highly redeemable jewels were placed in them, such as a piece of practical clothing.

Well, it's a good way to escape.

And when I gave him that door, he went out into a somewhat better room.

There was a king there who called me.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Master Sauge with me. I'll keep an eye on you outside the door."

"Yeah, good luck. Frederica, I'll call you when we're done."

"Certainly."

The twitch opens the door and leaves.

I stare at the king.

"Sire, why bother with a secret meeting? Until you use these hidden passages to keep people from knowing."

"Well, well, have a seat first. I've got some good tea."

Sit in a chair, as recommended by the king.

And I drank the tea he brewed.

Good tea leaves. There will be no more tea in this world. You can also brew it.

"I hope you liked it."

"Yes, this tea is wonderful."

"This is tough"

The king smiles bitterly and makes tea.

Then he picked a maple cookie or something that was served like tea, put it down for a breath, and then the king opened his mouth.

"On that occasion, let me say it again because I couldn't say it properly. Thank you for protecting and guiding Anne. Thanks to you, Anne didn't have to let go of Kvar Beste.... I might have broken my promise to a friend if you weren't here."

The king lowered his head and expressed his gratitude.

"……… I have already received your gratitude."

"You did. But I wanted to keep my head down properly. And there's nothing else I called you today. I wanted to tell you the truth about Anne's father... Ricard... the sin of Oakrail. I want you to know."

"What are you going to do by telling me the truth? He wants me to reveal the truth."

"I won't do anything about it. I just want you to know that Anne trusts you more than anyone else. If you believe Anne, who is nearest you, Anne will be saved. That's just it. That's all I can do now, Anne."

I look up at heaven and breathe heavily.

"Damn, you're a pathetic adult"

"Exactly."

I decided to shut up and listen to the truth.

That said, I know a lot about my experience in the gaming world.

"... Annelotta's father, Ricard Oakler, was supposed to face up, and an army led by my son, Prince Aloise, stopped him from attempting to take his men and defect them to the neighbouring Republic of Elstadt with state secrets as a souvenir. And in that battle, Aloise died in battle. … In general, the battle for the life of my son has saved our country by keeping state secrets."

"The sudden betrayal of Ricard Oakler, who served for generations as a guide to the Royal Sword and was praised even with the Military God… is a story that everyone knows if they are in this country"

The Kingdom of Corinne has a monopoly on numerous technologies. Much of this was gained by the royal family, Asur Corrine, in a deal with Elsier, a small country with unusually developed technology and force. The technology makes a difference to other countries.

The number and quality of military secrets gained from the position of Ricard would be tremendous. Selling it over leads to a disequilibrium of power with other countries. It is not acceptable at all.

Not to mention, it was Ricard Oakler who should have done it with a number of great achievements as a military god and protected Corinne. Because I loved and respected him, the people could not tolerate his betrayal.

"But the truth is different."

"... the other way around, isn't it? Your son betrayed his country and tried to escape with state secrets. Ricard Oakley stopped it. I'm going to capture him alive, but the resistance is fierce, and Richard Oakley has killed the prince."

"How could you do that?

The king stares at me with a surprised face.

"It's just a reasoning. There are too many unnatural things about this matter. That's the simplest way to think about it. By and large, I'm sorry to say, Your Majesty's son has a pretty bad reputation, and the high morality of Ricard Oakley is famous. Prince Alois must have been behaved by some woman."

"... Absolutely right. My son tried to sell the country for a woman. Maybe he was compared to his sister, who was too good, got inferior, and wanted to get out of this country."

Game age. Let's find out the truth about this. I've investigated it. At that time I arrived at the truth without so much difficulty.

Anyway, too many people know the truth. Very many of Ricard Oakley's men admired him at the time.

I keep my mouth shut to reward him for his readiness, but with a little, he told me the truth in tears.

"Sauji, you were right. That was the worst case. My son's rampage. Besides, for whatever reason under the laws of this country, if you hurt the royal one, you must make amends with death. The military god who stopped my son and saved my country...... I had to kill Richard Oakler. And this country is a kingdom. If the prince were to sell the country, the king's authority would be lost. If we lose the god of war and the king's authority is lost, this country will not stand"

The king grips his hands hard with a bitter expression.

My hands were white.

"At that time, everyone held their heads, wondering what to do. That's what Ricard said. Sin falls on me. Let's celebrate the prince as a hero. Ricard decides that he sold the country, and if the prince decides that he risked his life to defend this country, the royal prestige will be preserved. Oakrail's family name falls to the ground, but more importantly, he said he was destined to die... and that's what he said."

That is the truth about everything.

Ricard Oakley, who loved his country, chose to sacrifice for this country.

I didn't even tell my family about it. So Anne doesn't know this truth.

"Thanks to this, the prince became a hero and the royal prestige rather increased. The country has stabilized. But because of that, Ricard lost everything. I admired that man as my brother. I wanted to protect you. But only then could I think of a way to protect this country."

There was self-reproach and regret in the king's words.

"... it's a discretionary story. Both His Majesty and Ricard Oakley. You guys might as well do that. But what happens to what's left? Anne's mother committed suicide without enduring the pain. And even Anne would definitely be dead if she hadn't met me. I said I thought of Anne like a daughter but I can't believe it. You tried to kill Anne in your own son's honor."

I understand the King's mood. Still, I couldn't help but say.

I stopped saluting him if I noticed.

I don't like the selfishness of this man.

All I can do is apologize this way, I'm pissed off at the king.

"... I can't deny that. But I am the king. We could not give priority to Anne for a large number of people."

"I know how you feel. Are you satisfied with this? Then I'll go home. It was a waste of time. It just made my chest shit worse. More or less, what happens when you confess to me. Words of apology should be made to Anne."

I take a seat.

I want to stand here for a moment.

"I want you to wait. I want to make the most of my convenience to you for supporting Anne. After you graduate from that school, you can recommend it to the Knights of the King's Capital, or if you want, let's do the title for a reason. If you want money, say what you want."

"That reply should have been made before. Don't use me to wipe your guilt. He said he would only accept his apology. By and large, what I just said to you will not be any pain in the ass to offer. You're not in any pain. Clearly, bug spit runs."

I also forget that the other person is the king, so I hit the real deal.

"But I am."

"... if you really want to redeem Anne, sooner or later I demand that you, for Anne's sake, shake your position. If you're prepared to sacrifice yourself, take the pain then. That's the real redemption."

"You're very tough."

"I'm not tough. We're just talking about common sense."

"And this thing..."

"I know. I'm not gonna tell Anne."

For Anne, it is hopeful that if she reveals the truth, she can prove her father's innocence and regain his honour. And while the upper echelons of the country knew the truth, it was nothing short of despair that they dared to punish their father as a sinner.

It's still early.

"Frederica, bring Sauji back."

"Understood. Sire."

He showed up and took me out of the room.

Maybe I'm as guilty as this king of not telling Anne the truth.
