The nearest city--Barse--delivers the fractons. They are all resigned to the fact that they did not open their mouths, let alone offer any resistance.
I'm in the process of getting a hotel and an early dinner.
The master's food tastes better ......
Pfaff's head, patting his mouth to sip the food, peeing
It's not good to be a picky eater. You have to be grateful to the person who made it and eat it. Chew the rest.
Tell them in a calm tone of voice.
"Yes it is!
Faf cheerfully pushed his fork up to the ceiling and began to eat. Although he complains with his mouth, Faf is a gourmand, and as long as he basically eats, he'll be happy.
"You guys really seem to be a good brother and sister, don't you?
Lohse puts her elbows on the desk and looks at us, but gives her simple opinion.
I think we're more like father and daughter in my opinion than brother and sister. In the beginning, Fafu didn't know anything about human society, and I trained him from scratch.
Incidentally, Lohse was in a sickeningly good mood the next day, even though Arnolt must have squeezed her a lot after that. Well, on the contrary, Lohse's knight guards were sinking like it was the end of the world.
Then, I'm going to impose a few conditions on Lohse and her team to work together for the time being.
First, they will not ask us any more questions.
Two, she must not give us orders or interfere in any way.
Third, Lohse's royal guard is only a substitute. It's just an interim measure until a suitable person is found.
Since then, Lohse has been strictly enforcing at least two things: no prying eyes and no interference.
But is it any better? He's totally messed up, huh?
It's a very good idea to have a good time with them. It's not a matter of whether or not God's blessing is there or not. It's a daughter I have a hard time understanding.
Don't worry. It's not the kind of thing that will destroy your relationship with Anna. And I've been having similar fights with her for a long time. Well, this time, it's going to be a long one.
I see. That's why Arnolt and the other knights are not particularly bothered by it, right?
I'm not sure. And? What do you want to tell me?
It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. It's much better to eat with Fafu and the other merrymakers in the Book of Defeat.
In this regard, since the hostility of Lose's knights towards me could cause Fen and Nine-Tails to unleash a violent outburst, I'm letting them live in the book for the time being. I'm not a fan of the knights of the kingdom, and I invited them to dinner, but they refused to sit with me.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. It's long, so I'm shortening it, as well as Fafnir.
"You are now my royal guard. Isn't that right?
With a smile and a face full of glee, he asks me again to remind him.
'So I told you it was just an interim measure until the right person is found.
Yes, I know. You are the royal guard until the right person is selected.
I nodded with a satisfied smile. I wonder if he really understands. I can't stop worrying about this guy, but, well, it doesn't change what I'm going to do. I'm going to find the right person and have him or her serve as the royal guard for Lohse. And then I'm off to a fine start.
"In?
When prompted to suggest a conversation, Lohse cleared her throat once with a gohon and her expression changed to a serious one.
"There's something I need to tell you, now that you're in the royal guard.
"What? I don't like to be circuitous. I don't like to get straight to the point. Of course, keep it simple and straightforward.
Yes, yes, and Lohse cowered her shoulders. This guy is getting less and less reserved with me, don't you think?
"It's still a rumor, but the battle for the throne may begin.
The succession race. If I understand it literally, the Amelia government will give the princes and princesses a certain task to fight over the next throne.
Hmm, I'm beginning to get a clearer picture of the background situation.
"Is this the reason why you're about to be sold out to the empire this time?
Yes, I think it was probably my brother Gilbert's faction that was concerned about the possibility of me making Raina a royal guard.
"You feared the expansion of Rosemary's faction by the gift holder of the Swordsman in the War of Kings.
It's not only the gift of the Swordsman, but also the reason for this is because of Raina itself. After all, the current Raina is very popular among the kingdom's highest officials and high-ranking nobles.
Raina is very popular with the nobles of the kingdom. It's too different from what I remember of Kai Heinemann in the past, because he was more representative of the people than I was in the past. It's a good thing that you're not the only one, because that guy is more representative of the people than I was in the past.
But if Raina is so popular among the high nobility, it puts the unknown facts to rest.
I see. I see.
Perhaps.
Sure enough, Lohse pulled her jaw.
Lohse had said that Raina was her best friend. It is hard to believe that Lohse was falsely claiming to be the best friend of Kai Heinemann in the past. The fact that she had tried to get Raina to join the royal guard so easily was uncomfortable, but on the contrary, it was probably to protect her.
If you're in danger from the foolishness that is Gilbert, if Lohse is present in the kingdom, Lena is a target for elimination. It's no secret that Lohse and Lena are on good terms with each other, and there's no doubt about it. It's a good idea to make sure that they're not going to be able to take action without a fight, which would reduce the risk of a sneak attack, which makes sense.
And if Lohse declares me to the royal guard here, at least as long as I am beside Lohse, Lena is no longer a target for elimination. That's what it means.
But this time the way Lohse has chosen to do it is below, and I don't admire it at all.
Is it possible to get to the mastermind behind Fracton this time?
Lohse chewed her lower lip in frustration, shook her head from side to side, and
Fracton is only a doer. Of course, there is a good chance that he was not informed of anything important about the Battle of the Kings. There's little hope of pursuing Gil and his men as well.
As expected, state the negative.
"I suppose.
Supposedly, they managed to negotiate with the Empire to actually sell out their princess, Lohse. The fact that Lohse was spared this time is just a stroke of luck. It's just an impossible coincidence. The point is. They are cunning, or at least not stupid, when it comes to bad things. They don't leave any trace of evidence that could be traced back to them.
You can't make a move until the King's War has begun, right?
That's right. Now is the time to devote our energies to expanding our reach in preparation for the War of the Kings.
"Yes, sir.
I'm sure that the way Lohse refers to maintaining power is as benign as asking for help from the nobility and merchants. Then I have no place in it. I think she knows that very well.
I think she knows that very well.
When I walked out to my room, carrying a belly full and outgoing Faf on my back
"Chi
Called off and turned around to look over his shoulder
"Hmm? What?
Question.
Lohse gets up from her seat and bows her head deeply. And then--.
'Thank you for accepting the royal guard.
The words were very unlike those of royalty.
I went to my room and laid Faf on her bed and stroked her little head, and soon she was sound asleep.
I then headed to the small, empty square behind the inn.
I wanted to be alone for a bit to think.
I'm not too young to figure myself out. For whatever reason, I would have resolutely rejected the Royal Guard if I didn't want to be a part of it. You will be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you. It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about it. And yet, I accepted Lohse's royal guard, albeit with conditions. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
The same is true of Raina's case. If Raina is a danger to herself and her family, she and her family can be protected and given asylum in another country or another country. There is a big difference between the strong and the weak in this world. I'm sure I can do it now.
And yet, I don't feel like doing it because I don't know why I can't do it.
Do I have a little bit of an obsession with that girl?
This may be another thought of Kai Heinemann in the past. Although they have been altered, they have been received well by the memory. Thoughts are pure and intense impulses that come from many memories and experiences.
Maybe helping Lohse is the future that Kai Heinemann wanted in the past and the kind of task that is presented to me in the present.
Well, in any case, I am Kai Heinemann. That's not going to change.
Nah, there's nothing to do. I'll mend a new royal guard for Lohse. Until then, we'll play this stupid travesty.
When I said that again, I was able to convince myself very easily.
I am selfish. As long as I can convince myself, I don't care about the rest.
"Master!
Suddenly, a slight weight on the top of my head. I hold it in my hands and the black wolf looks on with circular eyes and buzzes its tail.
"Hm, Fen. Were you bored?
When you gently stroke its head
"Sir!
Suddenly, a silver-haired beastman woman arises in front of me and embraces me, and the slime clings to me.
I'm sorry for not being able to help you, too.
That's right. Even if I get my past memories back, I haven't changed one bit. I will live with them in this world as I want to. And if there is anything that interferes with my purpose, I will completely destroy it. That's all there is to it.
