Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

After dropping off Barbasse's courtier, Hershelik returns his heel with Oran. There is no stopping the steps while always smiling gently at the different knights and officials in the castle.

And on the grounds of the rear palace, when he enters the courtyard crossing and no one is around him, Hershelik stops smiling mildly and gets a sharp eye.

"…… So, where did it leak from?

The shadow moves to Hershelik's question, which remains unstoppable. Until earlier, Oran should have been the only one behind him, but Cro, who responded to the Lord's call, appeared next to Oran.

"Both.

Wearing a black costume for a detective who could blend into the darkness at any moment under the stars, he answers quietly as he walks next to Oran without a sound.

Hershelik lays his eyes down on Cro's answer.

Today's outing, I made a declaration I wouldn't normally make in order to confirm the information leakage route. That's why I wanted to circulate advance information and see how it worked.

(On the ministerial side or on the church side……)

Unsqueezed either way, Hershelik worries, stopping and looking back, he looks up at Oran.

"Oran, which do you think it was?

"They also targeted Miss Violetta. I guess Miss Jean wasn't even informed, and I was surprised, and if that upset is acting, don't make me a woman distrustful.

Indeed, after examining Gene's qualities, she has a different back than Violetta. But looking at what happened today, I guess that raid was irregular.

"So I think it's unlikely from the ministerial side. So I thought it might be the church side, but that magician protected Hershey.

"Right..."

Shilo, seconded by the church, protected Hershelik from the attacking raiders. It cannot be concluded that it is on the church side.

Oran and his thoughts coincide, Hershelik drops his gaze and wrinkles between his eyebrows.

(Not on the ministerial side, not on the church side...... another force?

Hershelik is a tiger hole operation and buys a lot of grudges. I resent it, but it's a well-understood operation. But they are, to a large extent, members of the ministerial faction. I don't think those aristocrats would even try to put their hands on the minister's daughter.

Stopping and bothering his head. Mainly, Oran opened his mouth when he gazed at Cro only for a moment.

"Hershey, what is the real purpose of this one?

To Oran's words Hershelik looks up at him all the time.

"Real purpose?

Inquiring. The Lord. The knight continued his words.

"I do know you wanted to see them move. But you didn't have to risk it this far. Black dog, you'd think so, wouldn't you?

Crowe also shakes his head vertically as if he agrees with Oran. Rather, Crowe was against this operation.

One day today, Crowe was thoroughly on the tail of a line. They were observing a line and its surroundings. He was actually on his side at the time of the raid, and there were actually five raiders, but it was his feat that reduced him to two. Incidentally, the assailant has also been handed over to the police as a suspicious person.

The moment Hershelik was about to be sheltered and attacked by Violetta, Kro would have popped up if he hadn't noticed Shilo's magic activation.

Hershelik leaks a bitter smile at the two people who turn their gaze to blame.

(Was it a prospect for both of us?

They are showing me more about themselves than I think. While I feel sorry for that, it would be impossible as a human being to be illuminated but happy.

(I wanted to keep it in my chest if I could, but I can't help it.

Leaking a sigh in his mind, Hershelik decides to reveal it to both of us.

"I wanted to give you some advice.

"Advice?"

"Yeah...... because I didn't seem like a bad person, even though Mr. Shiro and Mr. Gene were hiding anything from me.

Hershelik had also made observations in the past two months, just as they were observed by the other person. Leave the people behind. I really didn't think they were the bad guys from the roots.

"I don't want to hurt you two if I can.

That's why I dared to give my nature and advice. Even if it's to my disadvantage.

"That's sweet.

Clo said in a frightened tone. Oran would be the same way. I hear a small sigh.

"…… sorry.

A small apology zeroes out of Hershelik's mouth.

I knew that it was them with me who would be at a disadvantage and at risk.

(Still………)

"But that would be Hershey, you.

Crowe said to Hershelik holding his fist. The voice is very soft.

"Well, we'll figure it out.

The same was true of Oran's voice. Hershelik closes his eyes once on the two words.

Always they support themselves. I hope that one day I will be enough for them.

"Thank you, both of you.

Hershelik's words made the leaders snort at each other.

"Speaking of which, I have one report.

Clo opened his mouth so that he could put it on.

"I knew that magician, a daughter named Gene.

An aristocratic maid and an archbishop's adopted son. I don't think there's a superficial contact. If there is...

"Little bird, you mean.

That's Gene's alias. It's the face behind her.

The minister and the church are connected. But even if we cooperated, I didn't think we had the same purpose.

"And the church side is making a suspicious move.

Hershelik and the others took a breath in the additional information.

After putting her sister to bed, Gene visited her father's study. To report today. As usual, when I entered the room with a heavy atmosphere, my father, the Barbasse climate as usual, greeted me as I read the documents.

"Excuse me, Father."

"... How'd it go? It's time to hear the conclusions.

Gene leans down to the words he was directed at without taking his gaze off the documents. Looks like the time has come for me to make a report that I've been putting off. But the results were already there. Even without today's events, there have been many occasions when Hershelik felt a strong will.

"Father, it is impossible to take in His Highness Hershelik.

Gene said clearly.

To the words Wolfe takes her gaze off the paperwork for the first time since she entered the room and turns a sharp eye.

"…… Violetta did something to you?

A low intimidating voice sounds. But Gene couldn't read his father's emotions from his expression or voice. The time they've been dealing with is so short.

"No, the relationship between Violetta and Her Highness is good. But……………………."

That Violetta is the maiden who falls in love with His Highness. He doesn't seem to feel like he's in love, but his feelings for admiring him are obvious from around. Hershelik himself has not disturbed Violetta. Instead, I put up my body today to protect her.

But he never breaks. he said. You have to forgive me if I'm going to get in your way. He already has his own existence.

"Your Highness will never come this way.

"I see.

Say that word and Wolfe shuts up. There is only one thing that Gene wishes for his father.

(I want you to rethink your stupid thoughts.

I know what my father is doing. That you're doing a lot of things to maintain your current power. And that you are responsible for that one stick.

But I don't want to do this.

"Turn it off."

"Father!

That's as light as ordering me to clean up a broken toy, but a ruthless word.

"Father, isn't the Prince a child yet! One of these days you could go to another country!

Gene knew this word was a fallacy. That prince never escapes. He will always be the one who stands in the way of this man. But still, Gene spins words.

Wolf leaks a sigh to his daughter, who should have been submissive until now, but resists for the first time. And I turned my emotionless gaze, as if I could even look at the stone rolling along the side of the road.

"Remember your existence.

"But!

"Then get out. Can I use Violetta though?

Gene's most important sister in the world comes to mind with that word. She was the only one in this house who needed me unconditionally. Prince and girlfriend, if you choose, there is definitely only the latter. Even if that results in resentment of my sister.

"……… I understand.

There were no options left for Gene.

The cathedral of a closed church. This place dedicated to numerous gods, mainly the Creating God, was lit with dim light. Before the great stone of the Creator is the altar, and during the day Henil, the Archbishop, preaches a sermon from there to the faithful. The faithful sit on the bench prepared for the faithful and listen to the Archbishop. In the cathedral where no one is present, Ciro sits in that chair. I was looking up at the stone construction of the gods.

Henyl talks to him from behind like that.

"Noel, how have you been spending two months with the prince?

"Nothing……………."

Ciro turns that way to Henil's words.

At first I thought he was a strange prince. Don't be afraid of yourself. Talk to me close. Then it breaks into people's minds.

Next time, I can't even use magic. Too bad, Prince. Still, he was intelligent and absorbed knowledge as if the sponge were sucking water.

And the look and atmosphere I don't think of as the child I showed you today.

"I will not forgive those who get in my way.

Yes, he said. How the hell does he know?

My adoptive parent, Henyl, is currently worried about the situation in this country. The royal family had pulled repression on the people and was tormenting them. Although the Church does not interfere in the country and politics, it is the Church that supports the hearts of those who suffer from daily life, and it is also the Church that hears its mourning.

So his adoptive parents were involved with the minister and were trying to correct the royalty of this country. It was supposed to be unacceptable, and I'm not interested in Shilo no matter what happens to this country. But Henil, the adoptive parent, was grateful, so he cooperated, pushed his hateful personality and went out with the prince.

Doubts arose in Fujiro.

(Do fathers and brothers that that prince cares about really torment the people?

That prince who knows himself is not stupid enough to blindly believe in his family.

"So that was a lot of fun for Noel.

"Master Hahnil!

Hahnil interrupts his thoughts with words, and in a blaming tone, he calls upon his breadwinner's name and looks at him when he rises from his bench. Hahnil smiling usually. But what Shilo saw was him smiling evil, unprecedented.

"Then it fits around now, right?

"……… Master Henil?

To him in an unprecedented atmosphere, Shilo takes a step back. The discomfort I felt earlier amplified my anxiety and the alarm was ringing in my head, but the other self who believes in Henil denies it.

"The prince has become my next most precious being, equal to me, isn't he?

A voice that sounds slightly lower than usual. Shilo takes a step further back to the voice.

"Say what..."

"My cute Noel...... my cute doll (Noel).

I felt the current run through my body. Nor is he allowed to groan, and Shilo falls on the spot.

(This is operation-based magic………?

The spell in it. The magic of others, who were not their magic powers, dominated the body and deprived it of its freedom.

But by nature, magic is ineffective. If the person who puts it on has more magic power, it should be less expensive to proportionally do so. Hahnil is certainly highly magical. But Siro's magic far outweighs Henil's magic. That's why it's weird to put his spell on. If you think it is a third party, the answer is no. The only place on this scene is Henil and myself.

- - My cute doll (Noel)

His own name he calls that rings in his head.

Shiro noticed. I realized I didn't want to notice.

The spell is ineffective. But that's when you use it right after you do the magic. But over time, and over and over again, the effect gradually increases. If objects and words are further mediated, the effect is enhanced.

"Noel." This is the name Henil gave me when I was taken from home. I already forgot the name my parents gave me when I was born, and back then it was only a monster from my parents and from around them. When they asked me my name, I answered it as a monster, and Henyl gave me the name.

From that time on, the fact that Hennil had cast a spell on himself from the beginning.

The only person in the world who believed, wasn't there from the beginning. The fact was enough to knock Shilo down to despair.

"Good night, my sweet Noel.

The voice of the henil echoes. That's a gentle voice, but there was never an emotion caged.

"Mr. Shiro!

On the verge of forcibly interrupting consciousness, the voice of the last prince calling his name echoed in Shiloh's head.

Hahnil exhaled heavily as he carried Shilo, who had stopped moving, to those under his command.

All in all, manipulative magic must use many magic powers to construct even more elaborate magical formulas. It was a very broken bone to cast a magic spell for years so that Shilo wouldn't notice.

But the day is near when it will be rewarded.

Henil breaks his knee in front of a certain god and lowers his head.

It is the stone of St. Ferris. Dawn times. A hero who united the world and became God. A pillar that symbolizes peace in the gods. It's a god he won't worship.

"All in the name of St. Ferris.

Hahnil had a calm, but paranoid light in his eyes that shook up the beholder.
