Common Sense of a Warrior

As I meditated my eyes and immersed myself in a nostalgic past, the knock sounded in the room.

"... excuse me, Master Merlis. Master Gazelle..."

Your father appears so as to block the words of the servant.

"Hey, Merlis. Long time no see."

"Oh, Father.... Thousands of customers today."

"Hmm? Oh, is that Iris? Speaking of which, where's Iris?

"Dean and Elpis are here, so we're already out of family water."

Now that we're in the social season, Iris was leaving the territory with Luce to stay at this separate residence in Wang Capital.

Dean and Elpis arrived today, as they followed.

"Well... Non wants to see everyone in a while..."

"Hehe, it doesn't look like we're going home today, so take your time later. Of course, if your father had time."

"Oh, a sire? There will be no one more free than Noon."

"It's peaceful proof that military personnel are free. I think it's a good thing, huh?

"I agree."

Your father sat in front of me with Dokali.

"... I was just thinking back a little while."

"Hmm...?

"When I look at Iris trying to protect the people and think of the territory, I think that their thoughts are handed down to me and to them who have fallen in the middle of their minds... yes, you take it personally"

Gazelle was meditating her eyes and listening to her words.

"Did they, too, feel this way? You told me you'd entrust it to me then."

"You can pay the person you think you can entrust with the worry of your hindsight... I'm sure you will"

That's what I said, Gazelle, with a soft grin.

"I hope so..."

"Good for you. With such a good successor."

"Yeah, you're right. … I'm happy."

At the same time as I measured, a servant brewed the tea and brought it.

When your father took the cup at the table in front of him, he drank it slowly.

"Speaking of past stories... did you talk about Divan?

"No, because of the raw hatred and the fact that Dean and Elpis came before"

"Right.... I'm looking forward to Iris' reaction when I hear that story."

"I'm sure you'd be very surprised. I can't believe Divan was Nort's son."

Divan...... he used to be an agent of the Twile Nation and manipulate Yuri out of the shadows.

The man who stubbornly kept aiming for the Duke of Almeria and the Marquis Anderson to move Yuri, and the situation would get worse. Or cut her off immediately.

"When I met him on the battlefield, I was really surprised."

That was in the case of the Twile State breaking the ceasefire agreement and marching to the Kingdom of Tasmeria.

Your father worked with Baron Messy when he was leading the National Army in an interception on Baron Messy territory... he ran into him all over the city by chance.

He must have escaped with Divan, who had infiltrated Baron Messy's territory.

"It's a great idea when your father's here, isn't it?... you didn't have any prior information, did you? All I can say is that it's a boulder that you run into at the pinpoint."

"Compliments don't show up in anything, do they?

Your father exhaled softly after laughing for a moment.

"... but it's a tremendous obsession, isn't it? For the vengeance of my father, Nort... Was it"

"Oh. Nort was used by Cordis because of his misadventure. And it is true that he stopped the plot and killed him."

"... Your father just paid for a sprinkling of firepowder. I think the culprit is Cordis."

"The culprit is already dead at your hands. I guess that's why..."

I frowned at the words.

"... well, I guess it was because I could be disputed by the post-war dsaxa. Back then, there were holes everywhere. There was a little hole in the army of this Tasmerian kingdom. I checked it out, and Alf didn't have a head up his arm."

"Even so, I still didn't know we could lay the foundations in other countries...... I guess he was competent too. It may be an arrogant way to put it... it's a shame"

To my words, your father closes his eyes.

"Now I can remember his last words in my ear." Not because your father failed! I'm sorry about the Duke Sliger house that devised those measures! I... I wanted to prove it. That's why...... now he wanted to use the Twile Country from the beginning and thus bring victory to the Duchy of Limmel. You're interrupting me again! Gazelle! '... there's no such thing as grudging. "

"... really, a shame. I, too, father or brother… and without my husband, would have been imprisoned by hatred… eventually burned by that flame of hatred and, like him, would have tried to hit that flame on someone else, even if it involved someone else who had nothing to do with it"

"... Isn't that the biggest difference?

"Difference?"

"Oh.... you had people around who were worried about you, including me. But he wasn't there. And he also tried to build a relationship that only used others. So no matter how hypertrophic that flame of hate... I guess there was no one to stop it"

To your father's words, I laughed.

"... right. I'm very blessed."

With that groaning, he softly rises up and approaches the window.

Outside the window there was a beautiful sky stained with sunset.

"Speaking of which, father. Is it time for your father to return to Marquis Anderson territory?

I don't really like red.

That's a lot to paint red... because a few loved ones have been taken away.

And remind them that their own hands are stained with it, even if they don't.

… I have never regretted the path I chose.

Still... Still, I never liked the color of red.

"Oh, of course. It's almost Merrilda's birthday."

"Me too, I'll ask. … to your mother, to meet you"

But I thought the red sky was beautiful now.

It's like remembering the sky I looked up when I played until I was a tatter at a young age and went home waiting for my mother... such a red sky that reminds me of such nostalgic and happy memories.

"Right or right. Merrilda will be delighted.... invite Parks too and let's all go see her"

"Yes."

Taking my gaze off the window, I pointed my smile at the gazelle.

In this way, I didn't expect to be able to stay calm before your mother's day of life......

Yes, squeal in my heart.

"... really, I'm a happy man"

"Hmm? Did I say something?

Your father reacted to my words whispering.

"No, it's nothing. It's been a long time since the whole family got together."

"Right, right."

And your father also smiled softly.
