"Rain..."

Gardina Mori capital, on the terrace of the capitol, Georg groaned so.

The sky is cloudy, the surroundings dim, and occasionally the rain grains stirred by the wind hit the cheeks.

"My lord, we're all here."

"Mmm... ok, let's go right away"

The city doesn't have the usual vibrancy, either, to the occasional rain that doesn't really fall. That's nothing different, but I felt bad about why today.

< I wonder what... >

Georg turned to the council, uncomfortable with something different from humidity, wrapped around his body.

"So, finally?

"Oh, now that it's been nearly three years since the last expansion, the Dragonewoods' education is over, and the confusion has converged. This will be just a standstill."

"So will you tell each department about the increase and get them to be receptive?

"Mm, I'm still uncertain about the scale and duration of this one. Anyway, it's an empire operation with no legend. I'd like to gather about 1,000 people if I could..."

After saying that much, Georg put his arms together and pressed silently.

It is rarely the case that Georg will be so silent with a difficult look in the middle of Parliament.

"My lord... is there a problem?

"No... nothing. Come on, we'll be busy again for a while, each one, so we don't fail to prepare."

"" "" "Ha" ""

"Well, then I'm dissolved with this... then I'm feeling a little less good today. I'm going to give you a little rest."

"What?"

"My lord! Are you sick?!?

To Georg's words, it was Jill who first hung the words of concern, even if everyone would throw the same words at him as they followed.

"It's no big deal. You must be a little tired."

"My lord, you do not belong to one person at the earliest, please love yourself..."

"I know, so don't make me look so crying, Jill."

"Hey... I think I'm gonna cry..."

"Brother, are you sure you're okay?

"No problem, there wouldn't have been anything particularly planned after this, would there?

"Yeah, we've all consolidated our approximate policies in Congress, and I don't think we're going to see each other."

"Then it's just fine, let me rest for a while today. If it gets better, we'll look around in the city."

"My lord, I forbid you not to. Leave the city to us."

"Johan, don't you dare say that to me. Getting around the city is like my hobby."

"But..."

"That's it for this story. What, even though it's a young man, it's still dragnill. Yeah, well, it won't be important. Now we're disbanded."

Georg left the floor behind, accompanied by Leesia, a Kingsguard who was not allowed to speak during Parliament. Behind it, parliamentary participants are bowing their heads and dropping them off.

< Nevertheless... I just said I'm feeling a little sick and this is it... >

Georg stepped out into the hallway, reflecting on the impact of his remarks.

"Leesia."

"Yes."

Out in the hallway, where his eyes were almost gone, Georg spoke to her following behind him.

"What's Leon doing now?

"Are you the captain?... I was wondering if you're probably on a sentry post around Mori Capital right now..."

"Well... then tell him to come to my room as soon as he gets back"

"Yes, I did. But because you're in better shape?

"Oh, not as worrying as that with some errands"

"I hope so..."

You think Georg thought at this time he'd just stop using the excuse of "ill health" when making time?

"My lord, Leon, Commander of the Kingsguard Hunting Corps, you have been summoned to serve."

"I don't mind coming in."

"Okay, excuse me."

With Georg's permission, Leon, the leader of the Kingsguard Hunting Corps, enters the room.

"I'm sorry, Leon would be busy right now."

"No, if it is for Your Excellency's sake, if it is in your possession to do all that you can in his stead."

"You're reliable. So to be honest, Leon, we're supposed to be giving sentinel duty around the Gardina Forest Capital right now, but what's the anomaly so far?

"You're welcome. The forest is also very peaceful, we have confirmed a few demons, etc., but all of them must have been small items, defeated by territorial strife and flowed here. I don't know if it's going to be a problem, but we're crusading for once."

"Well... don't struggle"

There's no annihilation.

"... overthoughtful"

……

"No, it's nothing. Leon, I'm sorry to bother you, but can you expand your sentry?

"? Possible, but anything wrong?

"Check the flyable range and duration of Dragonut, etc. We will be bringing subhumans from the land of man several more times from now on, but Isuzu will find out the existence of this place in humans. In doing so, it is imperative that it will be contentious. In that case, the only people in this city who have the ability to fly will have an impact on the trend of war."

"I see... you expect that much, and you can't, even if your mouth is torn, you can't say. Okay, I will review the Sentinel route as soon as possible and submit a proposal to Your Excellency."

"Oh, I asked. That's all I have to do, get back to work."

Excuse me.

Georg whines after dropping off Leon, who says so and leaves the room.

"Sometimes, a bad feeling is something that hits you... be vigilant and lose nothing"

The indescribable discomfort that began in the morning still shows no sign of stopping.

In Georg's room, only the dripping sound of rain was echoing, which was gradually becoming stronger.
