Hero without Blood or Tear

No, what are you talking about? Valpurgis seems shocked by the bombing declaration of that stepfather. So am I.

Originally, there were three brothers in Bavaria. Johannes the first, Maximilian the second and Wilhelm the third. Let's summarize as follows:

* Father of Johannes-Valpurgis.

Married to Maestro Azbiella and gave birth to Valpurgis. Died 17 years ago.

* Uncle of Maximilian-Valpurgis.

Pre-election of current Bayern. Raised Valpurgis as his own daughter, determined to be his successor.

* The youngest brother of Wilhelm-Valpurgis. He is not a stepfather.

The protagonist of treason 17 years ago. Known to be dead, but returned.

So, according to Wilhelm, preliminary Bavaria is the relative who killed his brother. Valpurgis, of course, reacted greatly.

“Shut up! How dare you! ”

For a few moments, she shakes her blade in fury. He will, too, because pre-Bavarian loved her like his own daughter.

“You don't believe me, either. I know it's hard to accept. Sharti..."

Boom!

Valpurgis wields his twin swords.

“Oops! Oops. ”

Wilhelm dodges as if surprised by the attack. But he was relaxed.

“You've been a great knight, Chartier. I never thought you'd grow up to be such a little princess. Big Brother will be happy too. ”

“How dare you put your father in that mouth! ”

I couldn't hide my surprise from the two workshops. Though Valpurgis is an unfinished sword, he has great skill.

He even took a swing at Pezamut in the battle of Harfheim and fled. But Wilhelm was relaxing with that Valpurgis. He seemed happy to play with his nephew.

“Well, I wish I could fit in better, but I'm busy. I'll see you later. Nephew.”

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

But Wilhelm disappears from Valpurgis' sword like a shadow. It's really haunted. Soon, voices came from the air.

“Whatever happens, I'm on your side. Chartier.”

As Wilhelm disappears, Valpurgis draws his sword and breathes.

“Phew, Phew. ”

I was exhausted, unlike her. White breath continues to flow through the cracks in the helmet.

“Phew, phew. Your uncle wouldn't do that. The evil traitor must have used a double cross. ”

Valpurgis sighs and says as if he is determined to tell himself. Then she shakes her head and sits on a rock around her, thinking to herself. It seemed complicated in my head. In the meantime, I spoke with Asviella.

- Earlier, when you saw Wilhelm, you said that what we know might be wrong. What do you mean by that?

-... not exactly.

17 years ago, when Johannes, Valpurgis' cousin, died, his youngest brother, Wilhelm, started a rebellion. In Segan, he stood up with ambition, aiming for a post. That's what Azbiella heard, too.

- But it was always weird. The young master was kind and far from power-hungry. He was a relaxed sort of person. He also loved and followed Big Brother very much.

Asviella said she didn't believe in Wilhelm's treachery, but there was nothing she could do.

- My position in the family was rapidly diminishing after my husband died. I was originally from the Horse clan, and I was considered the leader of the pre-elected family. She had a child that she admitted a little bit, but she was isolated when her husband died. There were all kinds of rumors in the palace. Cursed by being married to the Horses...

Nowadays, it is often the case in the emerging families to marry the Mages. But the name of the empire still blows it up. So it's not hard to guess how you might have seen Asbiella at Bavaria 15 years ago.

- I've been living in a half-abandoned palace with Chartier. I was sad to hear from the young master, but there was nothing I could do. At the time, I was distracted by the grief of losing my husband.

The problem is that some misfortune has befallen the Bavarian pre-war family around the end of the rebellion. It was then that a terrible curse came upon the family.

- No one knows how the curse came about. One day, I came here like a thief. He's even been cursed with a young Chartier. At the time, the preliminary and postpreliminary journey was over. Everyone complained that the young master was cursing his family as he died.

When Wilhelm failed the rebellion, he put a curse on his family before he died.

- Then Wilhelm has borrowed an indescribable power of darkness... in many ways.

- I think so, too. The young master would never put a curse on the family. Especially Chartier as beautiful as his child.

- Is that so?

- I used to come to the cradle all the time, poke my finger at little Chartier's cheeks, read books next to him and watch him. That's who I remember you as.

Strange. Can a man like that put a curse on his own nephew?

- So you sacrificed yourself? To save my daughter.

- Yes...

At that time, Asviella was a family stain. In the midst of the curse, no one paid attention to her and her daughter.

- Everyone wanted me and my daughter dead. I decided to do everything I could to save her life.

With excellent knowledge of Mado, she realized that the curse originated in an indescribable darkness.

- Evil rules as evil. In order to break the curse, I had to find a creature in the darkness that was beyond reproach.

- So he's the one crouching in the grave. The struggling death is sealed, so you can't use your powers properly.

This poor mother traded with the one crouching in the grave to save her daughter. As a result, I was caught and tortured by the man crouching in the grave until I saved him.

- So you saved your daughter and your protégé family? You must have had a lot of grudges.

- I got a bracelet, but it's still his family. And my daughter's family to live by. All mothers want their daughters to grow up on the same street.

She finally got what she wanted. Little and young, Charlotte is now a descendant of Bavaria.

- But, Mother, the risk didn't go away, it just left.

- Yeah, just like the seasons.

The curse is not lifted. It was just suppressed. At this rate, the relatives of Valpurgis and other pre-war families are just part of the life expectancy.

Mother-in-law, what happened 15 years ago is happening again. The curse of invading the family and the treachery of Wilhelm. This time, you'll need to end things differently than before. if you don't want to repeat your misery.

- I'm really worried.

We don't know the truth right now. The story of Bavaria's preliminary postwar may just be a trap. In fact, the poor wretch may be a blackened villain. You can't take sides. But I didn't worry too much.

- Don't worry about it. I'm an expert at getting through this.

According to my previous experience, the bigger the answer, the bigger the plate.

- Well, it's definitely a silver ball in some evil way-- oh, no.

I hear you, mother-in-law.

- By the way, may I not see your daughter?

- Today's not the day. Imagine a mother who died 15 years ago in front of a surprised and embarrassed child suddenly appears.

I thought you were my mother. He wanted to meet her so badly, but his only concern was for his daughter.

* * *

A few days later, the entire Bavarian order was assembled. It was to announce the outcome of the exorcism of the demons and to fulfill their future commitments.

“Everyone, listen up! ”

Bavaria still looks unwell, but growls like an angry bear.

“It turns out that the Mage King Parza is also the owner of the Demon King Parza, after he chased them down himself! He will never forgive the Demon King! It's not enough to support my traitor and shameless brother Wilhelm. You raided the Sage's palace! ”

Raging constellations erupt from everywhere. Bavaria exclaimed, satisfied with their reactions.

“I will definitely subdue the Dark Spear King Parza! In the name of Bavaria! We have enough power to do that! ”

“Waaaahhhh!”

The templars scream in fury.

“Then the Guan asks all the competent families of Bavarian! Gather the soldiers! In spring, the traitors and hordes of the Demon King will be swept away by the Overlord himself! ”

“Waaaahhh-!"

Spring War must be intense. I have already sensed that the great war is swirling. It all began in Bohemia three years later, but everything had already changed.

Spring of 1615, the battle in Bavaria will begin the Great War. That's why I've decided to demand my rights.

“Bittenbuyer Change Bag! ”

Just then, Pre-Election Bavarian called me.

“You may not be a fool, but I trust you feel anger on this one. Will you bring an army full of flags for the overlord in the spring? ”

At that request, I leaned back slightly to show my respects and insisted.

“Your highness. Of course I will. But I have one requirement. ”

Everyone who was caught up in what I said made a curious face. Bavaria also strokes her beard and asks what it is.

“I demand an engagement with Earl Niederbayer. Formally.”

The rumors spread among the members of this order. Until now, I have been merely a respected guest. He was not formally engaged to Valpurgis, but was just implicitly acknowledged.

In other words, there was nothing official. But if I am truly engaged, I will be plunged into the power struggle of Bavaria. That's why I immediately disagreed.

“Your Grace. Count Vitenweir is an ambitious man who expands his lands in every corner of the empire. If you take him as your son-in-law, Bavaria will be one of those ambitious creatures! ”

Those who laughed until yesterday did not try to cause a perceptual fluctuation in power, but foamed at their mouths. Of course, there were nobles who favored me. Soon there was a sudden turbulence. Whether I did or not, I was determined.

“Everyone, listen up! I declare it! If the engagement doesn't happen, I won't send a single soldier to the Spring War. ”

The Golden Alliance grew into a vast army of 25,000. And we are stationed under the jaws of Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

If you don't make an alliance, you'll have more trouble than just missing an ally. Normally, an enemy and an ally would have a paper difference.

Even Bavaria is quite surprised by my attitude. I don't see Valpurgis' face because of his helmet, but she must feel the same way. I never thought I'd be so determined to enter into this engagement.

- Eun-gong, don't you have a herd?

Common sense clearly does not overdo anything. But I'm not an idiot and I shouldn't have done it.

- It's also a test. If Bavaria has a bad plan, this engagement will never work. They'll only postpone the child's blood. because if I'm officially engaged, she's going to be very empowered.

Nowadays, my status drops even the flying birds.

It's a good way to keep an eye on Bavarian pre-med medicine.

- There's another reason I want to hold her on my back and gain power.

- What is it?

We don't know if we have any Bavarian preliminaries or allies. So I'm just going to retire.

- Yes?

Asbiella's sense of whimsy is overwhelming.

- Mother-in-law, it's simple. If he is a traitor, it would be very good to take him down, wouldn't it?

- Yeah, but what if it's not?

- No, it's not a problem. You're not feeling too well these days, so why don't you just take a break in the back room?

- …….

Asviella has lost her word because of my simple reason to take control of Bavaria.

- Mother-in-law, power is like money. The more the merrier. Well, how about a little more? I have nothing to lose.

Is it Maximilian, the Bavarian preemie, or Wilhelm, the traitor, who betrayed the family? That's an unknown part of the situation.

What I have to do is simple. Just take care of them both. I'll think about it when I have time to eliminate the risk like that.

- After we get Bavaria out of the back room, we'll take out every last one of Wilhelm's rebels. One is a loyal dog, and the other is a sheep-eating wolf. But they both seem to have fangs. So I'm going to pull out both fangs and take a closer look at who's the dog and who's the wolf.

A long time later, Asbiella barely answers.

-... Eun Gong is really like an onion. I wanted to know, but it was endless.

- I'm sorry to disappoint you. But I promise you one thing.

- What's that?

If I do it my way, Valpurgis will be safe. I'll slap every dog or wolf that hangs around.
