Civilization Game

After the summons, Gawain steps out of the royal palace. The commander who was waiting nearby rushed to her.

“General! You're all right! Are you hurt? ”

“ ……. ”

Gawain glances back at the commander.

“Do you have a tavern in this city? ”

“… Yes? If you look in the marketplace, there might be one, right? But what happened to the person who didn't take a sip of alcohol...? ”

“I think I can do anything to get out of this. ”

I didn't know the answer, but the two of them decided to go to the tavern. Before that, I decided to disarm myself and meet again. I didn't have to draw attention to myself in shiny armor.

After the promised time, the two of them met again.

‘... Huff! ’

As soon as he saw her, his heart trembled. Gawain was wearing linen shirts and trousers commonly worn by the public, taking off his armor that he wore everywhere as a uniform. When I untied my hair and let down my shoulders, the femininity I had hidden was revealed. Now he was looking at his 40s, but his appearance was no different from in his heyday.

"Are you sure it's true that you're three years older than my wife? ’

The manager was frustrated inside.

“... What are you looking at? ”

Gawain leans forward with a shy question. I changed my outfit, but I couldn't help but notice that I had a unique soldier's speech on my mouth. It was only in this Arctic age that we were here, but in her days, we were very rare here. In the knight culture, she was forced to be masculine, and she hated being called a woman, too. So I used to wear armor all the time, whether I was at dinner or at the septum.

The two of them chose a secluded bar in the night market and had a dark beer.

“... Excellent! ”

Gawain, who drank a sip of beer, couldn't help but admire. The manager nodded with a cheerful nod.

“That's why the Underhaims are so famous for their beer! ”

“Well, I feel like there's one more joy to life. ”

“I hope Empire gets this beer when the war is over and the Abyss merges. ”

“Huhu, I agree. According to Underhaim, Giants make liquor. I'm curious about the secret to this flavor. ”

The two of them fell into the atmosphere of drinking while chatting and talking. The story was endless because they had been together on the battlefield for a long time.

“…… What happened at the summoning? ”

The manager made sure that no one was around and carefully asked. The two of them sat in a room in the corner of the tavern. Her complexion, which looked cheerful with a red face, deteriorated at once.

“Arc didn't even consider us his henchmen. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“We're just the end of the organ he deals with. No more, no less. ”

Gawain told me about what happened during the meeting.

“…… The arc is not normal! General! You must make a decision. ”

Gawain, who was listening to the commander, suddenly got up from his seat and looked back in frightening eyes.

“... General? ”

“What are you doing there? Why are you eavesdropping behind a wall? ”

“ ……! ”

Pot!

You hear someone running from behind the wall. With a reaction like that, he was never an ordinary person who could handle magic. When Gawain realizes he didn't bring his sword, he immediately extends his right arm to the wall.

- Blizzard.

An ice storm blows through the walls of the tavern and spreads. There was frost everywhere in the tavern. The rare guests who were guarding the place were surprised and screamed.

‘Hehe, I can control my strength because of my drinking.... ’

Gawain grimaces on his forehead. The commander ran out of the rapidly breached wall. The tavern only had its guests and owners sitting at the table.

“… damn it! You must have missed it! You followed me! ”

The manager sharpened his teeth as he watched the tavern owner point at the door with his trembling arm.

“I'm sorry for the commotion. ”

Gawain rummages through his pockets, pulling out a few bags of gold and throwing them to the owner.

“Offer your guests free booze and spend the rest on repairs. ”

“…… Oooooo! Go, thank you! ”

The face of the tavern owner who had been a dead figure soon opened up. Gawain kneels on one knee and sweeps the floor with his palms. Then I picked up the shard.

“... I think it's a fragment of the crystal sphere he had. ”

“Is this a communications hub? ”

She shakes her head and speaks in a voice so small that only the commander can hear her.

“This size and color must be a memory crystal ball. I think he was trying to record our conversation. ”

The commander's face is red with fury.

“Look at that! It must have been the Arc! Where in the world is a king who follows his men? ”

“ ……. ”

“General! Arc was the only one who could harm us in the first place! ”

Gawain sighs heavily and looks up at the ceiling of the tavern.

I ran out of alcohol.

*

Guinevere opens her eyes.

A strange ceiling appeared and he was lying in bed.

“You've come to your senses. ”

Maid, who was sitting next to you, smiles sweetly. Guinevere drank without a word because she gave him a glass of water. My throat is burning.

“…… here? ”

“This is the Royal Medical Office. The knights brought Guinevere here because Guinevere fainted. ”

“… Ah. ”

As Arc and Lily leave, they appear to have fallen exhausted from crying on the spot. I didn't have any strength all over me. My heart was empty, so I didn't get a single impulse.

It seemed to be broken.

“Tell me when you're feeling better. I'll take you to your room. ”

“I'll be right there. ”

Guinevere wanted to be alone. I was nervous because I heard the voices of people outside the hall. For some reason, all of those voices seemed to blame and reproach themselves.

A woman who strangled soldiers with chains because she wanted to take over the king alone. I don't know how the rumors spread, but it was probably going up and down people's mouths with a similar story.

Out of the med bay, she and Maid ascend to the fifth floor of the royal palace. First, she was the king's fiancée, so she had to stay in the palace.

‘…… It doesn't matter now. ’

Guinevere recollects as she climbs the stairs.

Born to the ceremony of a prominent family, she was arrogant and snooty. Famous knights who may have heard the name once stood in line to propose to her, but Guinevere couldn't find a man she liked.

In fact, she wanted power over men. Since childhood, she has an unusually powerful appetite for power, and coveted the best position to climb into a woman's body. So her target became a young teenage arc. She deliberately approaches Arc and seduces him with sweet words, and he becomes increasingly fond of her.

However, was it a matter of touching the prince on his own, or was it a matter of getting involved in politics with many interests? Her family and a powerful family who were hostile noticed that Arc and Guinevere were preparing for engagement and declared the 'Territory War’. She's staying in Empire's palace, where it's safe, but she can't help but notice that her hometown is under attack.

One day there were only two of us left. The arc standing at the window with the moonlight illuminated was very serious.

‘I love you more than anything. Guinevere.’

Guinevere, who first heard this, snorts. She grew up with many confessions from the knights, raising her nose as she grew taller.

‘When the day breaks, I will lead my own army out and attack the Catelyn family, who are hostile to you. ’

In his words, Guinevere realizes that the arc is true. She stops. The future king should not be moved by personal emotions. But the arc shakes its head firmly.

‘Even if the world has two sides, I will make you queen. ’

The simple, sincere words of Arc resounded to her even more than the other knights who confessed their love by adding numerous rhetoric.

Were they tempted by the opposition's sincerity while trying to seduce it? Guinevere wept in front of the man for the first time. I was happy as if I was enchanted. What's the point of all this power? She thought she wanted to give up all her greed and just be this man's wonderful wife.

Then why is it like this now?

‘…… the eyes of the moment, the sincerity of the moment. I still remember vividly, but you said you forgot. ’

The burnt heart hardly revived.

“This is the room. ”

At last, Maid tilts her waist politely and points to one of the most stubborn rooms on the fifth floor. Guinevere is bitter, as if to look upon her own.

Maid opens the door and Guinevere walks in. The room was moderately clean and clean.

“Rest well, then. ”

Maid closes the door saying so.

“ ……? ”

Strange, though. The maid herself came into the room and shut the door.

Guinevere tilts her head and gives you goosebumps. Maid locked the door as it was.

“Who are you?”

Guinevere lets out a chain of magic as she shouts.

‘... Can't you see the magic? ’

“I saw some medicine in the water you drank earlier. ”

Maid said with a smile.

“It's common here in Abyss for thousands of toxins to burn magic. ”

“...... * *! ”

I tried a few more times, but it was the same. Moreover, it seemed that the body was too lazy to burn magic, as well as to have taken other medications while sleeping.

“You bitch! I know who I am...! ”

Maid pulls the dagger out of her arms with a smile on her face. Guinevere's mouth shuts.

“…… Did Lily send you? Or you?”

“Sorry, not both. ”

Maid looks down, hiding the dagger in her arms again.

“The one who sent me is the King of the Night. ”

Guinevere's eyes widen.

“…… Rod Polentia. ”
