Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)
Final Chapter: The Reincarnation Prince and the Knight of Dusk
A few days after the martial arts tournament, Hershelik was coming through the castle town with Oran to a hill overlooking the Wang capital.
The sun is already setting, and the light like Oran's hair is wrapping around the king's capital.
"Beautiful!"
Hersche, who got off the horse with help from Oran, leaked admiration for the sight.
"Oran, thank you for bringing me here!
Sunset on his back and Hershelik smiles. Oran narrowed his eyes to the look.
'Octa, thank you for bringing me here.
Hershelik overlapped with her smiling fiancée.
"I used to come here with her... Prince, about the orphanage, thank you.
I brought Hershelik to this important and special place because I wanted to thank him.
Baron Almin died and a problem arose over the operation of the orphanage. Because everyone showed difficulty in helping the orphanage, which is their luggage.
So Hershelik made a request to the Marquis Ordis family, the father of Oran.
"Nothing, I'm not making a big deal of it.
Saying so, Hershelik takes his gaze off Oran and looks down on the King's Capital.
"I'm so glad Oran won, now the orphanage is okay for the time being.
All the money obtained by silently betting on Oran was used to fund the orphanage's operations. Even if he didn't have that money, Hershelik managed to... mainly planned to close up the guy who was diverting money from the orphanage and build it, but he never had the money over. By the way, he also donated the money he borrowed from Marx because he had no other intention of spending it.
Nobody can handle the orphanage because it is run by the Marquis Ortiz family. There is no one to quarrel with a fiery general. It meant physically painful eyes when I poorly handed it.
General Ordis, who was retired and spared time, undertook with one reply.
He said, "I'll let the fine knights raise you! I'll teach my wife and I'll study with her, I'll take care of it!" He said he was strained.
I feel a little different from what Hershelik thought, but it helped me to take it on. Getting a job in the hands of the orphans is also a matter of peace and security. Knowledge should help them in the future, even if they are not knights.
- The orphanage, later named "Armin Yishu", will be a Yishu that drains many knights, officials, etc., but that was many years later.
Hershelik continues his words as he watches the king's capital stained with orange in the light of the sunset.
"Not all the time, but we need to be able to change the country's system and subsidize it well by then.... Hey Oran.
There is no Chro here right now. Hershelik stopped following him. Oran and I had something to talk about alone.
"You asked me before if Oran had made me the lead knight.
"Yeah, the prince didn't answer me then, though.
Hershelik keeps his back to the answer.
"Orange, I don't need a knight to just listen to orders.
That's why Hershelik chose Oran.
"I need a knight to stop me when I make a wrong decision.
At the interview, I thought. He is not chosen, he is chosen. He says he is a knight who chooses his Lord himself.
He said he was a knight who served his lord enough for his loyalty.
Memories of a previous life that have already gone far.
A colleague of Ryoko Hayakawa, Hershelik's previous life, had the most male employee in the same period.
He was trustworthy, not only of his guests, but also of his colleagues, juniors and supervisors. He was very relied upon to make the earliest appearance in the company with leaders, chiefs, and branch managers in the same period.
But he has changed since he became branch manager. Long ago, he had lost his temperate expression and sharpened his eyesight. His branch also had a bad reputation and deteriorated performance. Ryoko was worried and sneaked up on the clerk there.
The branch veteran clerk told me what was going on. He has changed since he became branch manager. My serious personality was disastrous and I tried to do everything perfectly. That's not a bad thing in itself. But he also forced the branch staff to be perfect.
If you don't forgive me for making a few mistakes, I will absurd your voice. As a result, the atmosphere of the store passed on to customers and sales dropped.
Even though Ryoko was worried and talked to him, he didn't respond. At that time, it was already late, and he eventually fell ill a few months later, and the branch manager was demoted and retired.
veteran clerk said. No one praised him, and he didn't even try to listen to me. If someone had listened sincerely to him and acted as a bridge for employees, it would have been a preventable situation.
People change with changes in the environment, experiences, and positions. Even if that was a change you didn't want.
There are many exchangers who have changed their minds and tilted their country in history books and stories they read in previous life and after reincarnation. That's no exception to me.
"I know I'm not perfect. So when I was wrong, I needed a presence to stop me.
"...... there will be a black dog.
Hershelik thinks of Khlo in Oran's words.
"Crowe will stay by my side. Because I wanted it too. But Crowe will never stop me.
Crowe is a former hired and undercover detective. Now he moves on and stays on his side, but that's not for the country.
"I'm sure Crowe will do any bad thing if I want. He won't stop me if I'm wrong.
There is no reason. It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong about Cro. Whether the Lord wants it or not, that's all.
"Orange, I get scared of myself sometimes.
Hershelik figured out that was the dark emotion in him. Dark and cold emotions that chill from the core of your body. It did exist in me.
It is possible that I would go wrong like Baron Almin. Sometimes, like Rick, who turned his anger at himself in the orphanage, he would hate them like him if he took away his loved ones. When that happens, I may forget my position, my ideals and my aspirations, and order me to use the clo and kill the other person.
"So I need a knight who is stronger than Crowe, who can stop Crowe.
I needed a knight who could stop the Chro that I meant, and who could stop the Lord.
"Orange, I have great expectations for you. My only ideal knight is Orange.
Hershelik looks back. I looked at Oran directly in front of me.
"Orange, I won't blame you for saying no...... will you be my knight?
Oran takes Hershelik's sincere gaze head-on.
The prince is afraid of what may happen in the future. I work out measures against myself because I understand that I'm not the perfect person.
At the same time, the prince had declared that he would place his absolute trust in himself. The Prince believed in himself from the beginning of his encounter.
Even if he shook his head to the side here, the prince would not blame him as he put it.
I wish I could give the order, but the prince only tries to exercise that power at the minimum necessary. That's because it's his compassion and he knows that orders can't even dictate people's feelings.
Fu and Oran noticed. That I don't have the option to say no in me.
(Oh well.
Oran was good at it. So I walk over to Hershelik and offer him my sword with it in my sheath.
"Hershey, take this.
For the first time they call me by name, Hershelik opens his eyes. And I received the sword offered reflexively.
(I've been looking for you.
Oran kneels on the spot, hands on his chest and head hanging.
(Give your loyalty, the Lord you want to give your life to.
It felt as if the cavities in my ever empty chest were filling up. So this word could also be spoken naturally.
"My lord, I am a sword that cleaves your enemies, a shield that protects you from your fierce blades, and a staff that supports you.
Oran lifts his head and stares straight at Hershelik, the Lord.
"If you want me, I will protect your will, whether it comes to stigmatizing you, people cursing you, or replacing this life... Please forgive me.
To the words of Oran's pledge, Hershelik closes his eyes. And I looked him in the eye again.
"Orange, I allow it. Never use that word differently. When you have trouble, slay me with this sword.
Hershelik says so and offers the received sword. Oran received it with respect.
"…… My lord, I wonder if that is difficult.
"Eh?"
Hershelik puts a question mark on the words of the lead knight. Oran laughed at Hershelik like that.
"Me and the black dog won't let Hershey do that.
Hershelik shudders for a moment. But when he understood the words, the prince smiled superbly.
In future generations, the story of the seventh prince of the kingdom of Gracis is popular among the songs told by the bards. Of course, the story of the bellies who served him is one that the children admire.
The story of The Knight of Dusk is particularly popular with the boys.
The dusk knight, also said to be the strongest, had a bright sunset… drowned his hair like dusk and created numerous martial arts traditions running through numerous battlefields.
But its strength is not the only thing that makes the knight of dusk popular. The knight of dusk chooses the Lord. The children of the royal family are told to be chosen as knights of dusk, and the children who aspire to be knights are told to be knights who choose the Lord like knights of dusk.
That sounds like, at first glance, praising the knight of dusk. But the LORD whom he served was but one for the rest of his life, and all his honour is for the LORD.
There is only one master of the knight of dusk, Hershelik Gracis, the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Gracis.
