Continental Hero Senki

Unexpected places, unexpected raids at unexpected times, are highly effective if successful.

The sewer used for the trafficking of "tobacco" is a place that, even during normal times, scratched the surveillance of security authorities such as the National Police Service. And that's the rebellion in the king's capital, and even if we don't say half of them, there's no way that many of the bureaucrats could have effectively monitored such places.

Moreover, even if a traitor appeared to the Grand Duke within the National Police, the Grand Duke had no means to prevent it.

"Where did they come from!? I can't believe you got into a squad."

"I don't care about that, we need to consolidate our defenses quickly! Protect your Highness!

And when it comes to that, it is natural for everyone to devote themselves to protecting the Grand Duke. Moreover, the force of the ambush unit is unknown, and we just know the information that there are enemies there, so it is unnecessary.

"Your Highness, this place is dangerous! Get away from me, please!

"No, it's fine as it is. Get rid of the thieves!

Below Marshal Willobolski, the face of the Temporary Command guides the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke himself did not try to leave the scene, but it is the Grand Duchy military below the Marshal who is troubled to be shown such stubbornness.

It is the mission of the military to take us out of here, whether temporarily disrespectful or forced. Because they need a man named Grand Duke Carol.

"Excuse me!

The name of the professional army takes on Grand Duke Carroll. Grand Duke Carol is not strong enough to resist it.

Enemy attack on the Chancellery. Just minutes after receiving the newspaper, several Grand Duke soldiers succeeded in defending Grand Duke Carroll. On the other hand, I can't deny that I've just devoted myself to defending Grand Duke Carol, and I've given my enemies time. In this state of confusion, it is a great deal to have accomplished just that - but it changed the fate of many.

"A thief! There's a thief in command."

Shortly before the Grand Duke left the Chancellery, a voice screamed by one of the command personnel reaches his ear.

"We don't have a lot of people, Yachima."

Shortly after, a painting of the Chancellery exploded.

The first line of Fire Scatter (Canister), a new advanced sorcer for melee, developed by Captain Ilia Landovska Magic Research Bureau, was directed against the same Royal Silesian Army.

---

Seeing the smoke you can get into all over King's City, say what Emilia Silesia, the other royal family in the Chancellery, thought.

"- Huh"

He uttered nothing and wept what he thought was dead at last.

The helplessness of not being able to do anything to herself and her guilt for causing this kind of thing hit her with despair, leaving her with no emotions other than grief at the earliest.

- Until this time.

"- Hey, who are you!?

"Stop, we have to stop..."

Outside the room where Emilia is incarcerated, I hear a guard I hadn't heard for a few days - and with the disconnect, that voice interrupted.

The door opens and Emilia sits down.

And from there it emerged that

"- My lord Emilia, I'm late. I'm sorry."

She looked like an aristocratic girl and looked like Maya bowing her head deeply.

"Maya... why...?

Emilia wonders.

The Duke Krakowski family turned to the Grand Duke. If so, Maya should also be granted to the Grand Duchy. Even looking at the trend of the battle, Emilia thought that should be most sensible.

So I was at the bottom of despair, but what a simple word to return from Maya.

"I don't know what you mean."

"... what?

Maya approached Emilia with a question mark overhead in tears and answered with clarity.

"There's only one person in the world I serve. Only His Highness Emilia."

"But Maya. The battle is already with your uncle..."

"That's not what I found out!

Clarified, Maya exclaimed with momentum spitting on her master. No, would it have been "sworn" to be exact?

I swore her loyalty to my lord.

"I want to serve you. Only with that emotion, I'm moving. Would you need more than that?

"... but"

But then there's the worst danger to Maya. Don't mind me, Emilia wants me to live for myself. But Maya took the lead before her master raised such doubts.

"I serve His Highness Emilia for my own desires. I would choose death if I were humiliated enough to swear allegiance to a man named Carol or something."

…………

Emilia had no choice but to shut up.

'To such a lame self, why,' I had to worry.

But Maya's answer was always the same.

"Your Highness. Your Highness, what do you want to do?

"Me, sir?

"Yep. What about His Highness's own emotions?

I don't care about reason.

Maya asked what Emilia herself wanted to do.

Do you want to be engaged to a perverted prince who is a Valter and live a life of humiliation in a birdcage?

Or is it another way?

Emilia's heart has always been for the good of the people. If it was for the good of the people, she was also prepared to choose the former.

But when it comes to following your emotions, aside from the story.

"... I don't know what to do"

That was what Emilia meant.

In tears, she told the truth.

"I don't know what to do or what I'm for - I don't know!

Emilia shouted as she turned her back on the burning King's Capital. I cried. While I was still in the Chancellery, Emilia screamed from the bottom of her heart.

And Maya held Emilia softly. It is an act of disrespect for his subordinates to carry out, but there can be no one to blame.

- Then let's think together, Your Highness.

Because it's not an easy story to find answers to about what you live for.

Like a mother holding a crying child, Maya said.

"That's why we're here. It may be embarrassing, but I have a friend."

I have friends, not subordinates.

We've been having a hard time together, we have a comrade.

"... Maya"

"What is it, Your Highness?"

In Maya's chest, Emilia answers potpourri.

The voice was small, but that's the word Emilia wanted to convey from the bottom of her heart.

- Help me.
