Common Sense of a Warrior

"... why does your lord put his shoulders in those two?

"You know what I mean?

If you look up at your father, who stood up with a faint laugh, your father would look away from you at first sight.

"... that was a silence"

"Besides, I'll return your words exactly as they are. When you heard the name of the village of Ferrotta, you reacted a lot, didn't you? Besides, didn't you forgive me for flanking you because you heard the name?... What the hell does it have to do with the village of Ferrotta?

"What, I'm just soaked in sentiment. The village where I met Merrilda… that's the village of Ferrotta, Sezon."

"Heh... Could it be..."

In me, an idea comes to mind.

Impossible... even though reason denies it, I still can't get rid of that idea.

Reason for this… Could it be that you could go to a place in the other realm where it was also a battlefield until the children of the aristocracy committed danger? That's a suspicion.

In the first place, it is rare in itself for noble children to go to the scene, albeit for nursing... rather it is impossible to say.

Yet why bother to go to the battlefields of other lands?

"Yes, your Lord's mother, Merrilda, is the survivor of the Baron Sezon family"

Dokali, your father answered as he sat in my front seat, where Anna and Enarine had sat until earlier.

"Why…. In the first place, didn't the House of Barons Sezon all die in the Battle of Twile...?

"I got it wrong. I was evacuating to the mansion with my cousin. He said he was nursing the villages he liberated by pushing his family against him."

"... what about your cousin's family?

"He resided in the Sezon Territory and was entrusted with the management of parts of a vast territory. But her family died early after the war began. So, the House of the Barons of Sezon temporarily took her..."

"That, a sudden question...... does it really mean that my cousin is my mother and it was still my immediate family who died in the war?

"What, that question..."

"Because... otherwise, why didn't your mother take over the Baron Sezon house?

"I saw a sketch of an unfinished portrait at her house. It was portrayed with the Barons of Sezon. Baron Sezun and she are two melons in the portrait, by the way. Look at it later if you want to. I still keep it in Merrilda's room.... Well, to be honest with you, Merrilda would be my cousin, but I don't care if it's my direct line. Anyway, she made a proposal without knowing Baron Sezun's family."

"Then why the hell..."

"Rather, why is your Lord holding you there?

My head suddenly woke up at your father's inquiry.

Yes... what now?

Whatever your mother is, it doesn't change the fact that she's my mother.

"Well, in a nutshell, it's a royal decision. At that time, the land was expected to be rebuilt promptly within reach and to build a defence force. The royal family, in particular, wanted to consolidate the protection of the northern part of the kingdom, but was eager to do so. Therefore, there was no reason for a woman's girlfriend to stand as a lord. There was also a way to take my son-in-law... Well, Noon tried to enter his son-in-law, but if he went back to give the report to Wang Du, Noon decided to take over the Marquis Anderson family. So, they turned it against me. But Noon wasn't going to inherit the Marquis Anderson family if he couldn't accompany Merrilda, and he made a serious decision to quit the army and join his son-in-law. So for a while, we had a parallel line of discussion... and this was the shape of the Royal Family, who didn't want Non to leave the army, and the House, which wanted the Marquis Anderson to inherit, Merrilda, who wanted to help rebuild the country and build a defense force by the National Army, and Merrilda, who wanted to accompany them."

I was flabbergasted for a while by the magnificent story I never thought of.

"... what a magnificent story"

"Well.... but it's a long way off, but I heard they're from the village of Ferrotta, where they met Merlis, too. It's getting sweeter."

"Is that what you mean..."

"... so? Did they tell you what the Lord wanted to hear?

To that word, I recall the presence of Anna and Enaline.

To the point of forgetting the beginning in the first place, your mother's story was shocking.

"Yeah, well. So I'll just keep an eye on you later. … apparently, they still needed training"

"I don't know. That was gonna take some training to get out of this room. If you were Lord, you'd have noticed before you let Non see you. And yet, why..."

"Because I want to see it."

"Want to see?

"Yeah. I told your father before you went into the room, didn't I? 'Look with those eyes and ask with those ears'. Their wish was' heard ', so it's like' look 'next. the strength of their wishes.... and how strong a person can be with the power of will."

To my words, your father laughed in dismay.

"... what, why don't we be honest? They said they liked it. I suppose you've already decided to give them home in the Lord before you let Non see them, anyway?

"Yeah, that's right.... that's what it's called, isn't it?

"Ha, must be"

"Now, if you'll excuse me.... Father, thank you for your time."

When I stood up and told him thank you, your father waved hilariously, not telling him not to care.

I left the room, smiling unexpectedly at the trick.

When I return to my room, I head to my desk to read the book.

Because I have been reading books, history books, etc. written in foreign languages due to challenges from Aurelia, but I have also been trying to read other books on the subject lately.

... It takes a lot of time to read through one book because I'm not used to reading it.

Plus I want to take the time to work out, so I was almost on my way to my desk when I was in my private room recently.

After reading the book quietly for a while, I heard a knock from the door.

"Excuse me, ma'am."

Three people came into the room: Baya, Anna and Enarine.

Anna and Enaline were apparently forced to change, wearing the uniforms of the servants in this house.

... Nevertheless, I get stuck in my thoughts looking at them blurry.

When I wear the same clothes this way, I don't know which one because my face looks exactly the same.

Until earlier, I was able to judge by the slightest difference in clothes... from now on, because of my uniform, they will be wearing exactly the same clothes.

For the future as well, I stare at the faces of both of them, wondering if I can tell them apart somewhere...

When I was a year, I was about twenties older than my brother, and two characterised by cool eyes.

... No, I don't know where the difference is.

While exhaling inside, I opened my mouth.

"My name is Merlis Reze Anderson. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you!

"... please"

"The instruction of the two, I will give. I will do everything in my power to help you as soon as possible."

That's what Aya would say if he watched the two of them, bowing like an example.

"If that's what Baaya says, don't worry.... It can be hard for both of you at first for unfamiliar work, but good luck. Then your father's training can start tomorrow evening. So tell someone in this mansion as soon as you have what you need."

"Yes!

"... I understand that."

It's funny how two people react completely differently, with the same face.

"... then, my lady. Sorry to bother you during your reading. Now that you two have greeted us, we apologize for this."

"Yes."

As the three of them exit, I return my gaze to the book.

Then I even kept concentrating on the book in front of me.

Parallax and only the sound of turning the page gets in my ear.

... It was very, very quiet.

Immerse yourself as if you have entered the world of books.

"... excuse me. Ma'am, I thought you had dinner plans."

If I had forgotten the time and was obsessed with reading, I would have heard that voice from outside the room with the knocking sound of Conn.

Take your gaze off the book and open the door.

"How was your first day? Those two."

"Unaccustomed, it seemed a lot bewildered"

"Well, that's right.... hehe, I know how that feels."

"Then I know your daughter would like to be a good example. I will also teach them not to be ashamed of themselves wherever they go, but they will still grow faster with many good examples."

"… I will refine it."

Then having dinner in the dining room, I headed to my mother's room, not my own.

If we opened the door, the room was cleaned so well every corner that we illusioned that Mother was still spending time here, and there were also traces of Mother everywhere.

"... Mother..."

In front of that room, as if time had stopped, it would stop again when I was there.

But after a while I returned to me, I began to explore the room.

My purpose… The sketch of the portrait was quickly found.

It was stored in the desk as if it were a treasure.

My mother is portrayed as a young man, trying to be surrounded by characters like Baron and his wife.

A very, happy smile.

... but that's terribly sad.

I wonder if this happy sight was shattered by the war within a short distance.

Until then, the battle that was once in me just as knowledge suddenly turned into something familiar in me.

How much sorrow did you have behind that tender mother's smile?

How many dreary thoughts did you have?

Looking at that sketch so as to burn it again, he carefully punished it and left the room.
