Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

Leaving the Wang capital to take in a flowing view, Klenai...... Artelise Danville was watching. The carriage is just superior prepared by ten military families, not so much vibration or noise. There was a difference between heaven and earth from the carriage of the master of the fruit shop, which he boarded when he came to the king's capital.

Thomas Rosehome, who was sitting there picking her up looking out, talks.

"I didn't know it was coming from you. I would have treated the slaves generously.

Artelise took the usual smile with a slightly sarcastic mix of words.

"Oh, I woke up, too.

Smile dull and elegant, continue the words.

"Interpretation, they are beasts. It's inferior to us. I couldn't escape him and was brought to this country... so glad I met you here. So..."

That's right. Turn the smile that people like, and Artelise goes on with the words in the face of a luscious woman.

"If you want, I'll make it all happen for you.

Yes, he hid his nature under a mask called a smile, and Artelise whispered like a good word. The man lifted the edge of his mouth when he was satisfied with the words.

(How easy.

With a smile on his face, Artelise finishes measuring the vessel of this man inside and smiles at the small size of the vessel.

This man was a second-in-command and former matchmaker when Artelise graduated from cadet school. When I met him, his impression was that he was a little man whose talents and ambitions were not commensurate. He was the second son of one of the ten military families, the Rosehome family, and a chunk of self-esteem and inferiority toward his brother that he was not inherently like this when he grew up in comparison with his elder brother, an outstanding trail. And enlarged ambitions to cover it up. Beyond my brother, I became a trace of the Rosehome family and even led the military. It was an ambition that I didn't care if I made Artelise.

But it was also true that these men were easier to handle. Those who narrow their horizons with ambition will jump at it if they give them what they want in front of them, and lose all inconvenience.

He was a very convenient person for Artelise today.

(But I can't believe my father can fit into a man's house to this extent...)

Artelise moaned in her heart that the Danville family, once described as the famous house of military discharge, would be crushed by the Rosehome family, which had only a man of this degree of vessel.

It wasn't until after his seventh birthday that Artelise decided to become a military teacher.

"Father, I will be a military teacher, too.

It was because a friend of my father's invited at a birthday feast open for me had sneaked in to hear that the Danville family used to be a lineage that drained many capable military teachers, but now only my father and only my only daughter mourned this status quo. I used to be interested in what kind of work my father was doing.

"Artelise?"

A father who was reading a book in front of a fireplace sees his surprised beloved daughter. Artelise stared at his father with a determined eye.

"I'll be a military teacher like your father!

"… that's exciting. But we have to work hard.

My father recieved the words of his beloved daughter. Without even knowing that would trigger it.

Artelise started studying hard the next day. Read and fish military related books as well as general education subjects. And if there was anything I didn't understand, I hoped to tutor my father day and night. However, the content of the questions becomes increasingly difficult to answer immediately.

"... about the battle of the year, but I still use ambushes..."

In time, the father, who thought he would be bored, would press his hand on his forehead against his beloved daughter, who, on the contrary, was bored and whose young pattern also blossomed with talent. I didn't think that my daughter, who wasn't even in school, would come out of a battle in which the Danville family had participated in the past.

The tutor I put on is already throwing a spoon that I can't handle. Artelise's father had no choice but to prepare himself as the head of the Danville family.

"Look, Artelise. A military teacher should never put emotional swings on the table.

First, my father decided to teach Artelise how to be a military teacher. Knowledge and so on will become very much later. First of all, the question was whether I had qualities as a military teacher.

"If a military teacher gets upset in front of a soldier, it involves military morale. No matter how unfavourable the situation, you need the spare time and mental strength of your mind to be able to laugh. Can you do it?

Artelise engraves the words of this Father in her heart. He then encouraged his studies, packed his knowledge, and withheld admission to cadet school while being a woman, turning ten.

The day before my father went to war, Artelise was blooming, as usual, about my father and his army. By this time Artelise had become a child with a more adult smile than a childish look.

"Artelise, you may not be the right man for the military of this country.

"Father?

To my father's words Artelise leans her neck.

"You are too sentimental and ideal to be a military mentor. I'm worried about that.

My father's sincerity was unreadable and Artelise tilted his neck again, but his father just laughed and stroked his head at the way it looked.

And Artelise's father didn't leave while in the war. I was informed that my father's failure had led to defeat and scattered on the battlefield. The mother of Artelise, who originally had a heart condition when she heard it, fell, and left the world to follow her father, and only Artelise, who had been refused admission to cadet school, was left behind.

The defeat caused the Danville family to fall out of its position. The relatives, whose names were only slightly known, went after the funeral of Artelise's mother, taking the sparse assets of the Danville family up their asses with a gleaming Artelise. When Artelise realized, there was no home, no objects, no edge of memories, nothing left.

It was a coincidence that Artelise, wandering around the house looking for the shadow of her father and mother while suddenly losing herself, heard the story. The head of the Rosehome family who came to the funeral, unaware of Artelise, who was in the shadow of the corner of the hallway, was telling his men.

"…… no mouth for the dead, that's what you used to say.

"Yeah, that guy bought me a palace army and got out, so it helped.

"Thanks to this, I was able to make it all his fault. There is no house falling and no rotting.

Artelise presses her mouth with her hands so that her voice doesn't leak, lest the men who leave her laughing

'Look, Artelise. A military teacher should never put emotional swings on the table.

(Yes, Father. A military teacher never puts his emotions outside.

Even if the overflowing tears don't stop, the mouth can take them to a smiling shape.

(Never, never forgive.

Then Artelise entered the cadet school as a privileged student. I spared no time to study while I slept, and my grades always retained the chairman. In addition, he repainted the school history records one after the other in the flying class, and he graduated from school in eight years, the youngest record he'd ever graduated from, and became a military teacher.

But no matter how good she was, her gender as a woman in a male-dominated military, and her presence as a former courtier of the Danville family, which caused great defeat in the war on top of it, was a smoky presence in the military. That's why some voices spare their talent. For this reason, I did not kill him alive and assigned him to command the Combat Slavery Unit, but that was the mistake of judgment in the upper ranks of the army.

Artelise went to war even in harsh environments. Rather, it's that environment, so I could do whatever I wanted.

We did it. We win. We win. I have to help you. Is that attitude towards the benefactor of your life hollow in your head? and hidden in the smile and polite words that people like, but such a mood hidden Artelise quickly gained a track record and at the same time became a slave unit that could not be ignored. And when she became incapable of ignoring that existence, she had made demands to rock the country.

"The Slave Troops have given up their fighting skills again…………………"

"If you raise your next battle merit, you will be free from slavery and gain citizenship……"

It was to rock the very roots of the nation's slavery. The military is a nation that has expanded its territory by winning wars. Because of this, there is constant civil unrest, and the country is invading the surrounding area in order to turn its grievances outside. And the inhabitants of the ruling territory have to pay a lot of taxes. Furthermore, in the case of the Beastmen, they must pay more taxes than humans. If you can't pay even once, all the Beasts will be enslaved. That was only a pretext for dominating them as slaves with high abilities.

Knowing the circumstances, Artelise has appealed for the liberation of his troops. Upper levels...... Ten military families have decided to erase her presence.

That was supposed to be the usual level of civil unrest. By order of the superiors, the slave squad led by Artelise had marched out, splitting the squad in multiple parts and laying low in the woods at night. But when I wondered if it had stained red in front of me, the explosion sounded and one side of it turned into a sea of flames.

"Master! You will not be able to communicate with each squad! Instructions!"

"Many enemy shadows around! They're surrounded! Teacher what can I do!?

The reports of the men who come in one after the other make their ears clear. Artelise was stunned.

(Why? Where did you say the information leaked from?

Without information, you wouldn't know if you weren't an Almighty God, such as where there are ambushes in this dark forest. But the enemy, as if he were God, has grasped the position of the ambush and attacked him. Only his own army knows the placement. The only other person we know is our own army unit, led by the head of the Rosehome family.

(... No way!

All I could think of was that. But I didn't want to think about it. I didn't expect an ally to divulge information. But I couldn't explain the situation otherwise.

Originally, slave units were highly capable of fighting, but in smaller numbers than regular armies. It is further divided for the ambush. It was only a matter of time before it was individually annihilated if the enemy surrounded it.

"……… Why.

While listening to his men's reports, Artelise asks herself. I wondered where I got it wrong.

At the end of this battle, my people should have been recognized by the country. The country was supposed to change. And yet where did I go wrong?

"Yet why………!

'Look, Artelise. A military teacher should never put emotional swings on the table.

That's what I said. My father's words come back to my brain.

"Artelise, you may not be the right man for the military of this country.

Maybe my father knew. This country must never offer what Artelise wants. No matter how hard you try, do what you do, keep wishing...

"Is this the answer to this country (you guys)!?

The cry of Artelise echoed in the night sky, stained red with flames.

"What's wrong?

Talked to Thomas, Artelise regains consciousness. And I smiled bitterly to delude myself.

"No, I was remembering an old... unforgettable old time.

The day seemed distant surrounded by that sea of flames.

In that flame, my people desperately let themselves and Gail escape. And the army, whose body could not be confirmed, could have expected to put an interrogation on the federal side. So I had to flee to the kingdom side. I wanted to get Gail alone to a safe place.

Thomas is embarrassed to make a fool of Artelise with a distant eye.

"Don't get sentimental. Coming up."

"Right.

With Thomas' words flowing from right to left and his smile mask on, Artelise takes his hand to his chest. There I got it from him, the necklace was hidden under my clothes.

(Yes, coming up. To avenge those who betrayed us.

Artelise swears that it is now up to me to clear my father of his thoughts and those of his companions.

(Even if that means betraying him.

What floats in the back of his brain is the emotional scarcity of love that almost distorts his face sadly.

(It's okay, that one will definitely help Gail.

Artelise could have been sure that the gentle, believing prince would have done it.

"…… I'm sorry, Gail.

The little voice, distracted by the noise of the carriage, never reached Thomas.

Having finished talking about how they came to the kingdom, Ao decides to breathe and exhale deeply once and opens his mouth.

"Arte is willing to take revenge on the military. I'm trying to destroy the military...... I can't think of anything else.

"The military?

Hershelik asks about grand revenge in order to carry it out personally. But in all seriousness he answered.

"Before, Arte said: He said it would be easy to destroy the military.

Drinking momentum, or rarely drunk in a victory celebration, that's what she told the liquor dish.

"This country is full of calves. If you don't hit your hand quickly, you'll flake from it. But none of the top ten families in this country think of themselves.

Artelise continues her words with a laugh with Couscous.

"It's easy to destroy this country if you want to. Let the upper echelons and ten houses compete with each other to create civil strife there… If the mother is weak, the surrounding countries will eat and vandalize the rest, won't they?

It's not as easy as words. But his genius warrior won't tell you anything you can't even joke about.

If she were to avenge the military, Hershelik would shut up after listening to Gail, who had concluded that she couldn't think of anything else. That's what Oran tells him, even though he gets first aid from Crowe.

"Hershey, Mr. Krenai, at the end of the day, said to me,

Just before he left Oran, Krenai said this with a smile that seemed to make him cry.

"I wanted to serve that guy, too, like you.

I thought Oran should tell the Lord if he couldn't do it or hurt himself.

Hershelik closes his eyes and holds his fist. And when the blue eyes were opened again, there was no stray color there.

"Thank you, Oran. Leave it to me.

Oran finally closes his heavy eyelid to the words. When Shilo stopped magic and Crowe gave him a quick allowance, he carried Oran to his bedroom at Hershelik's behest.

And when Hershelik tried to give instructions about the future, visitors came.
