Hakai no Miko

Episode 88: Tragedy (after)

"Hey, calm down! Calm down, Soma!"

Shemul called out to the pale horse that was going in front of him as he interrupted his breath with a bullet.

It is a mansion for the caretaker of the tomb of King Holmea, who was attacked.Although the bodies of those killed in the raid had already been recovered, the red and black blood on the floor and the fresh blood splashes scattered on the walls and ceilings were silently telling the horses about the tragedy of the raid.

Azure horses were rampaging into the back of the Mansion without even listening to Shemul's call.

Azure horses headed to Warina's private room.

Azure horses arrive at the entrance of the private room and forcefully open the door to the closed Kannon.

Then the Elf lady, who had just cleaned up inside, greets the suddenly arriving master with a surprised face.However, the pale horses, who were not in sight, looked around the room silently and quickly.

Of course, there was no Princess Warina there.

Shemul finally caught up with the shoulders of the pale horse, who was stuck in disappointment.

"Come on, Soma!"

Shemul quickly peeled his fangs after he had often regulated his breathing.

"That's why I've been telling you to do something about this rampant habit!"If you jump out of the castle in such a hurry, the King's City will be in a frenzy! Calm down!! "

But on the other hand, the pale horse was eating Siemul.

"There's no way you can calm down!" I don't know what happened to Princess Warina!I can't do anything as fast as an hour! "

"You idiot!"

However, Sheng Ma's objection was also shot down by Siemul.

"Then give me an order!"Where are you going, and how can I help Warina?This [Noble Fangs] Fagul Gargz Shemul will do whatever it takes to fulfill the orders of those who admit that he is [you] under the umbilical cord!Now give me orders on what to do! "

Azure horses were stuck in words.

If I knew how to save Warina, I would have given orders and given instructions.I was in a hurry because I didn't know that.

Azure horses blush and bite their back teeth.

After a while, the pale horse relaxed from its stiff shoulder, dropped its shoulder and sighed heavily.

"... I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

In front of the apologizing pale horse, he said, "I wish I knew!"Siemul's chest was stretched out and he snorted.

"Please wait, Your Majesty."

Eladia arrived late.Eladia first sees both Azure Horse and Siem Reap as she prepares to bounce.From the air between the two of them, Eladia, who had already heard Siemul's advice, decided that she should only tell them about the raid.

"It seems that there is no sign of the tomb of the king being razed."In addition, the gold and silver sacrificial objects stored in the mansion have not disappeared so far.It's not just a tomb thief. ”

Eladia says with strong conviction.

"Perhaps the purpose of the assailant was the detention of Princess Warina."Also, if it is a threat to the quality of Princess Warina's life and to her money and some kind of profit from His Majesty Soma, please leave a section of the princess' hair and clothes here.Since there is no such thing, it seems to be a murder with a different intent.I'm relieved, but it's unlikely to harm Princess Warina. ”

Eladia's guess is correct.

Azure horse finally regained her calm judgment and stroked her chest.

At the same time, you can hear the breath of relief leaking from the Siemul standing next to you.Perhaps she was also concerned for the safety of her friend, Warina.

Is it possible to track down those who took Princess Warina?

Eladia often thought about the pale horse's question before answering.

"From the state of decay of the body, it has already been four or five days since the attack.I don't think it's going to be easy to track down from now on. ”

Eladia bowed her head in apology.

"I gathered the gestures for Marco's case in the capital, but I was delayed in noticing the weirdness here."It's in my hands. "

Azure horses wave their hands tinyly without worrying.

"I didn't even know this place was going to be raided."I don't mean to blame you. - I know it's hard, but I need you to make arrangements to track and search.You can ask Marcronis for help. "

Eladia bows her head this time in the sense of understanding.Then Eladia raised her face immediately and asked, "How will your Majesty proceed?"- [sic]" Horse, "he asked.

The pale horse thought for a moment before answering.

"I've come a long way." Let's take a look at the current situation.Besides, I forced the horses to do it.I'll let you rest, and then I'll go back slowly. "

I knew it wasn't going to happen anytime soon, but it didn't change that Warina was alive or dead.It is possible that we will find evidence of where she was taken.Azure horses who thought so decided to stay in the Mansion until the riding horses regained their strength.

The judgement rushed out of the government, so I was never afraid that the officials headed by Michena were waiting for me.

With a gentle smile that seemed to see through the heart of such a pale horse, Eladia bowed, "Do as you wish."

Then one of the Black Elf Archers came along.She bowed to the pale horse and then whispered something to Eladia.

Eladia frowns beautifully for a moment.

However, immediately putting a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty." She turned away from the azure horse and left Warina's private room with the black elf archers.

And Eladia turned toward the garden of the mansion.

The bodies of the victims of the raid were neatly arranged in a white cloth.

"Onee-sama, look here..."

When the black elf archer turned around the white cloth on which he was hung, he found the body of the dead elf lady lying beneath him with a miserable expression on her face.Decay has already begun, skin that was white as snow began to turn slightly green, and body odors reminiscent of fresh milk have now been replaced by rotten odors.

Eladia's eyes, which recognized the body, lifted sharply.When she thought that her thin shoulder was shaking with rage, it spread to her body, and finally her whole body was shaking like a ghost.

It's not just because they murdered our brothers and sisters.

The body's clothes were torn from the chest to the lower abdomen, leaving a vivid human tooth in the breast that spilled out of it.

"All the sisters who were killed were like this.There are obvious signs of being bothered after passing a breath..... "

Eladia gnaws her teeth in front of a black elf archer who speaks poisonously.

"... you beast."Even if my sisters are dead...! "

A groan of hate came from Eladia's lips.

"Also, something like this was pushed into the mouth of one of my sisters..."

Eladia pinched the Black Elf Archer's offer with her trembling fingers.

It was two bronze coins.

That is, the cost of bread, which serves as a staple food for a day.

It was also the price to pay for the whore at the bottom.

Eladia slams the Bronze Coin into the ground.

Then, I turned my white throat and spoke up in the sky like a cry.

Eladia's painful screams tore her heart apart, and the elf women who cleaned up after themselves in the Mansion and scrutinized the scene gathered in the garden.

How long have you been crying?

Eladia stopped shouting, as if the switch had suddenly turned off.Eladia gently speaks to the sisters who have gathered around her.

"Let me swear by the souls of my sisters, who have been trampled to death by these horrible beasts.I will surely hunt down all the beasts that did this, and give them more pain and shame than the sisters have tasted, and knock them down into the swamps of Genovanda. "

Eladia's voice was never rough.

The tone was quiet, pale, and as if to state the facts as they were.

But I couldn't help but feel so cold and deep anger.

The black elf archers who were present at the scene took off the bow that was on their shoulders, and the bow strings sounded high and they took an oath together.He who had no bow took out a katana and cut off his own hair, and put it on the wind, and swore an oath to the god of the wind that gave birth to them.

◆◇◆◇◆

The murder of Marco's family was followed by the disappearance of Princess Warina and the brutal killing of the Elves, followed by a visit to the country of El Door.

But that wasn't even the end.

When the Eladians were vowing their vengeance, further tidings came to Azure Horses.

At that time, Azure Horse was thinking alone in a room in the mansion.

Of course, it is about the purpose of those who took Princess Warina.

First of all, it was extremely unlikely that it was for monetary purposes.If it is for financial purposes, it is impossible for the tombs of kings and gold and silver sacrifices with expensive ornaments to be completely untouched.

Given that, it is reasonable to assume that the purpose of the assailant, as Eladia deduced, lies in the lineage of Princess Warina herself - that is, the princess of the former Holmea country.

But the pale horse thinks.

Princess Warina's worth as a bloodline of the Holmea family is unexpectedly low.

First of all, in addition to the fact that the Royal Family of Holmea is a male line that does not recognize the queen, Princess Warina herself has been sick and weak for a long time and has an introverted character, so she has hardly accumulated any achievements as a royalty until now.

Furthermore, in addition to the fact that the Romanian state officially recognizes Vritus, the brother of King Walius, as King Holmea, the Erdoğan state has not made clear, but is sending Vritus to the Romanian state in a grand way to support it.

As a result, Princess Warina's worthiness as a royal family, even if she was low, was even lower.

This is why Azure horses let Princess Warina free in the tomb of the king, without the strictest security.

"And yet, where do you need to kidnap Princess Warina...?"

The pale horse broke its neck greatly.

Shemul, who was nearby, replied to this pale horse.

I knew it wasn't the Romanians after all, wasn't it?

Besides, the pale horse waved its head to the side.

"There is no reason to kidnap Princess Warina in the Romanian country.Romania has already claimed Vritus as King Holmea.Bringing Princess Warina there will only divide the former nobles of Hormea, who are now in exile in Romania. ”

Well then, how about you curtail that pig and switch to Warina?

In Siemul's opinion, the pale horse often thought about it, but he shook his head to the side.

It's true that Princess Warina is easier to attract popular support than Vritus, but I don't think the way she does it is like Prince Goldia.

"What do you mean, it's not like that?"

In response to Siemul's question, Azure Horse gazes at the universe.

"I think Prince Goldia has a very solid personality.So, if you're going to switch from Vritus to Princess Warina, I think you should set up a place and a condition so that no one complains about it. ”

If you ask me, it certainly feels that way.

As representatives of one nation to another, Azure Horse and Gordia are the opponents of many letters.Of course, Shermul, the pale horse's right brush, had been watching the exchange.When I look back on it, I can definitely see Gordia's true temperament.

“So, what if the people of the old Holmea country in El Door are trying to raise Warina?”

On the other hand, the pale horse waved its head to the side.

"It was Princess Warina who acknowledged the transfer of the royal powers."The Princess Warina is now the banner of Holmea's national reconstruction.Moreover, if you force Princess Warina to stand as the queen, Vritus, who named himself King Holmea, will certainly not be able to remain silent.If that happens, the former Hormea fellows will crush each other in two and destroy themselves on their own.As expected, you can't expect the other person to be that stupid. "

"That's true, too." --But who could have done that? "

"I don't know about that at all..."

The two of them twisted their necks together and got bogged down, even though they never got an answer.

At that time, a loud voice was heard from outside the mansion.

Your Majesty! May I speak to His Majesty, please?! I'm in a hurry!We have a call for you! "

And the voice of the birds shall be of Phippi.Azure horses rushed out of the mansion in a panic.

I'm here!

Turning to Pippi, who was swirling over the Mansion, the Azure Horse shook his hand wide to show his whereabouts.Then Pippi waved his wings and danced down in front of the pale horse.

Your Majesty! Thank you very much!

Azure horses were stunned by the words they had heard many times over the past few days.Azure horses questioned Pippi with a half-weeping expression.

"What happened this time...?"

With a sharp tone, he relentlessly cuts off the words of the pale horse pleading, "I'm just exaggerating."

Rebellion!

For a moment, the pale horse could not understand the meaning of the words.

After taking the time to count to three slowly, the pale horse finally penetrated his brain with the meaning of Pippi's words and shouted in amazement.

"What, what?! Rebellion?!"

Pippi looks strong and stubborn.

"Yes! A revolt has broken out in the north of the country of El Door!"
