Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

By the time the captured ecclesians arrive at the square in front of the royal castle in the capital Carolis, the sun is completely dark....In the square, several bonfires were set on fire as if they were driving out the darkness at night.At that time, the sound of drums beaten with donkeys and the appearance of beasts passing by in the shadows of people relentlessly stimulate the anxiety of Ecleria's prisoners.The sight spread out in the square as if the successful hunters were having a feast.It may be taken for granted that the prey ecclesians felt anxious.

Such festive noise disappears like a lie in an instant at a certain time.Instead, the voices of a girl unknown to the captured Eclaria prisoners echoed on the spot.It was Strela's voice.

"Hah... What the hell are you doing...Why are you making so much noise just because you caught a prisoner?

That's what Strela said, asking the person nearby.The opponent is one of his SS, especially managing the selection.It looks just like a woman, who is actually a triad sakura.

"I have not been instructed to make a festival noise.Of course, I didn't say I could do it, and I didn't get a report even if I was having a festival.But for our troops, this is like the beginning.You must have been glad to be safe in King's Landing.I hope you understand that. "

The moment Sakura said that--

"" "Uhhhhh!!

--and the cheers rise as if they exploded.

But for a while.Strela drops a bomb on her soldiers.

"I won't say no, but if you do too much, Hermes will get mad at you.I don't know what to do, do I?

As soon as Strela talks about it, the noise stops, and the vibes of a completely different color surround her.Everyone starts to squeeze together, reducing the number of campfires, or rushing drums...Everyone quickly began preparations for evacuation, as if they were trying to destroy the evidence.He didn't like having Prime Minister Hermes look at him that far.

Soon the result will be the usual quiet enveloping the square in front of the royal castle, but it seemed to have little to do with the unknown Ecleria prisoners.

"Oh, what are you going to do about us?!

Before the mercurian soldiers who dealt with them as if they were the prey they had captured in the hunt, the Ecleria captives all had unspeakable fears.It may be said that it was one of the reasons why monsters such as Cerberus, with their black fur, intersected among the crowd.

"Of course, monster feed..."

"" Hmm?!

"Don't worry, I won't do anything.

Strella, on behalf of everyone, begins explaining to the Ecleria prisoners.

"This is the capital of the Kingdom of Mercrio.Am I the princess of this country?If it's true, I'd like to say welcome to our country... but since you're uninvited guests, I can't say welcome.So... I heard you guys were flying a white flag and surrendering before we started the fight, but what do you mean?

When Strela asked, it seemed that the man who first spoke to Strela was the representative of the ecclesian side, and he began to talk about his situation with something that seemed difficult to say.

"... we're tragic losers.There's a faction feud in Eclaria right now... no, there's a civil war going on.We no longer have a home to return to.I'll tell you everything I have, so why don't you let me evacuate?

There was no such thing as telling a lie to the representative of Ecleria who turned his gaze toward Strela.If anyone but him had a regrettable look on their face, what he said would not be a lie.

But...

"Honestly, no."

--Strela stuck to the man's plea straight ahead.That gaze is as cold as ever...It seemed that the Ecleria man who was dealing with it would unexpectedly tremble.
