Eleven Stories: Rewards and Preliminary

The Senate in Coffin is inherently the King's advisory body.

The House of Lords, made up of members elected by election from among the nobles, had the greatest function of picking up the voice of the city well (Shisei) as the representative of the people and making a proper opinion of the king's reign.

But now Coffin has lost his king in battle and emptied his throne.

The Knights, to whom there were many noble subjects as well as the House of Lords, also raised the opinion that Lucina, the only daughter of the Predecessor, should be made queen temporarily, but the House of Lords categorically rejected this.

Coffin has pulsatingly connected the lineage of the male king from the founding of the kingdom, and the princess has taken as her husband the finest and most desirable man of the aristocracy, and yet she herself has not named the king, and her son has been made to inherit the throne.

Its history and tradition is the pride of a country called Coffin, a sanctuary that must not be invaded.

It is therefore treason against the nation to make Lucina queen, and it is the muscle that awaits the birth of his son.

This was the senate's claim, but it was not all too realistic that immediately after the defeat, Lucina would welcome the aristocratic man to her husband and have a son in the current state of Snobba's occupation.

Even though Lucina herself is summoned daily by Snobba's General and urged to give in, she is undoubtedly taken hostage by Snoba if she wants to have a husband or child, and made into a bargaining pawn (sesame seeds).

The Senate pushed Lucina and the Knights through their claims on the grounds that they were representatives of the people and even the King's personal (...) advisory body, and as a result Lucina remained in the delicate position of oblivion of the Predecessor and had to confront negotiations with Snobba.

Gallol glanced at the Senate floor with his bloody eyes as it rained softly.

A huge building made of white, superior stone that symbolizes honesty and justice towards the people.

The majesty looked terribly empty now.

The King's Capital of Coffin is designed with the intention of having all the buildings, from the royal castle to the private house, under the intimate (menmizu) plans of an excellent mathematician and architect.

The cobblestones stretched straight without distortion, and the width of the adjacent buildings was neatly aligned. The stone walls that surround the Wang capital are aligned in height without the madness of dimensions.

Once, before it was removed by the snobber army, it was possible to see the true image of the King's capital of Coffin by looking down from the top of the clouds, all the things that reached it, which became the 'god ladder' at the southern end of the king's capital.

The township of Wang Du, overlooking from above, was in the shape of a dragon.

The King's capital, bordered by a complete circle of stone walls, reproduced the figure of a dragon whose wings had been spread by a line of cobblestones, within which the building existed, yet like the flesh of a dragon.

It was a reproduction of the pattern (without) of Coffin's flag, naturally representing the patron saint Morg.

Urban planning, to show firsthand what a country called Coffin worships against a sky-dancing morgue. In other words, the king's capital itself was also a message to the patron saint, with a sanctity directly linked to the faith of the country.

Though somewhat vandalized by snobbers, the structure of the king's capital, the lines that shape itself, has not changed.

And the most important of Morg's drawings, the face… it was the building that was delivered in the eyes of both the patron saints, the Royal Castle and the Senate floor.

In the eyes (not to mention) of those who guard the kingdom, as always the royal family and the people.

It was the wishful placement of those who built the Wang capital.

But now, on the roof of the building, on the left eye of the patron saint, are two flags. Next to the Coffin flag painted with black lines on white, the Snobba flag is painted with a gray wolf face on a bright red cloth.

There is now a magnificent flag of another country in the House of Lords where proxies of the Coffin people are supposed to gather.

Even the flag of the royal castle does not make anything else stand in parallel (hectic) as an indication of the attitude of resolutely maintaining the autonomy of the coffins.

This attitude of the House of Lords, which was only supposed to be the king's support agency, was arbitrary (dull) and hence irresistible if condemned as rampant.

"The Senate is the enemy of Coffin. They must have stopped Lucina from reigning in order to remain the advisory body to the late King."

"We refused to welcome a new Lord. In other words, we kicked the royal family out of the floor to behave as we please. I renounce my advice to the living king in the name of an advisory body… I intend to carry out my own political activities using the body of my predecessor as a shield"

"The will of the Senate is also evident from that flag. They are unwilling to stand up to Snobba's invasion. Even Coffin's flag will be broken as it is."

Gallol nodded as he turned forward to the warriors who raised their voices low behind him.

We can't let the Senate loose itself any more.

The country's acceptance of Snobba's rule was also the result of the senate's arbitrariness in the first place.

Gallol tells his men who are wetting their hair directly into the rain, just by hand gesturing. Ten warriors head from left to right to the back door of the floor, and the remaining ten draw swords with Gallor and board from the front.

There was a burning fire at the entrance and exit of the floor, but there was no gatekeeper.

On the historic pure white stone floor, the warriors' shoes follow in the footsteps of mud. The building was bright, with a large candlestick and a giant mirror illuminating every corner of the hallway.

Along the way, the samurai, who was exchanging candles, saw the Gallols and screamed. One of the warriors vomited a threatening (ikaku) voice, but immediately Gallol said, "Throw it away! scream."

Gallol rushed by the samurai, and when he commanded them to go home, he burst from his shoulder into the center of the building, the main door of the assembly hall of the senator.

Beyond the thick stone door, the sound of the chains ringing.

Seems to be sealed from the inside, successive warriors thrust one after the other, pressing their forged bodies as they roar (howl) up.

Soon a dull noise sounded and there were signs of chains flying off. The main door is pushed open and the warriors with swords are killed into the vast hall.

More than fifty senators had cancer (...) in the hall lined up like ripples with a large seating platform made of stone.

To them who are astonished, or who give up (Akira) or turn their anger expression, Gallor casts his sword and exasperates.

"We, prosperity, a warrior regiment of the kingdom of Coffin! I'm here to finish off the dandelion that swept the nation in the chaos of defeat!

"Gallo! You lost your blood! How dare you bring weapons into the sacred court!!

One of the senators, dressed in pure white, stepped out defenselessly in front of Gallol. Moment Galore's iron boots kick its belly.

Senator who blows up like a puppet doll (Big Giggy) and rolls over his waist with clutter.

Its body fell to the center of the hall, to the speaking space where the statue of Sky Dragon Morg was placed, and fell and fell at the chairman's feet standing there.

The long chancellor tilts his bald head and looks down at the fallen senator.

The senator, who rolled down the stone steps, bled out of his head and groaned, his right arm bent miserably (nagging).

The chancellor blushes his dark eyebrows and nosy face and stares at Gallor.

More warriors rushed in through the open door and through the back door.

"The Warriors are a soldier raised by civilians formed under the King. Within the army, a miscellaneous soldier (Sohiro) is picked up, especially where the arms of the sword stand, and becomes a warrior regiment member. It's just a bunch of people."

Under the lowly chancellor, Gallol goes down with his boots ringing once.

The senators cleared the way in advance and sent a tense gaze to the chancellor and Gallor.

To the giant man who holds the sword that comes before him, the chancellor keeps his eyes straight and his words pointed.

"If you have an excuse, let's hear it. He's the leader of a group of soldiers. What right do you have to bleed in the fortress of the deputies of the people?

"Representation of the people? Stop laughing. What kind of people do you think you can hear when you pull inside the floor, seal the door in chains, and on top of that? Did the ladies and servants who take care of you tell you to sell your country to snobbers?"

The signs of how breathtaking the senators were reached Gallor like the wind.

That's right. What you were doing has already come to light. It is up to you to make excuses.

Garroll stood his sword in front of his chest and stared at the chancellor with a ghost look (gibberish) that caused a single sweat over his harsh expression.

"You gave away the prisoners through Snobba's general. I allowed myself to use the people of Coffin to kill each other in the arena. Mr. Speaker, let me get an answer. What right (...) do you have to decide that (...)?

"I don't care about criminals etc!!

Not the chancellor, but one of the senators in the hall raised his voice.

The senator who got Gallol's gaze caught his throat for a long time, but soon another senator takes over the words.

"Those who have transgressed the laws of Coffin are not the people of Coffin! Can we even secure food support (bumps) for the bad guys in the current situation where the real people are having trouble eating!

"That's right! Food production within Coffin is hopeless, food support from Snowba is inadequate! Sooner or later there will be many starving deaths! We have to chop up where we need to chop up now! Then it would be sensible to offer sinners to snobbers and let them fight as gladiators!

Those who are not factual criminals are also volunteering for gladiators to get a meal! I mean better than starving without fighting!

"Criminals can't escape the arena at their will, but that would be wishing and leaves! If you lose a game while saving money on prison management, the winner will take your place!

Senators screaming at each other with Gallol's sword raised, "It's weird!!" and had a drink.

Gallol's rather colorful murderous voice echoes into the hall of instant silence.

"You still think that all those in prison were people who deserved to die! Some of the prisoners are still awaiting trial! How dare you put that together and give it to each other!!

The senators were pulling their mouths together, nagging and staring at Gallor, but eventually began to whisper and bump and crush something.

There is no doubt that it is the kind of dissatisfaction (fu hey fu man) or bad gossip (ah ho ho ho ho).

The chancellor releases his voice in a slow tone to Gallo, who glances at him.

"That won't be the problem. Warrior Captain."

"... what?"

"The primary reason you're shaking the blade and mad is because our Senate has Lucina..."

Gallor's hands cut the wind instantly, slamming a sword (tsuba) in the face of the chancellor.

Blood sprayed (f) out of the chancellor's straw nose, and his broken front teeth rolled to the floor. The senators scream.

"Lucina, it's Master."

"... the princess..."

The fist of those who had not held the sword was now pierced by the chancellor, who persisted in trying to avoid the honorable name.

The senators finally raise their anger at the chancellor, who is beaten to the cheek (cheeks) and breaks himself.

"Come on! Is only violence possible?!

"The Speaker of the Senate is a symbol of the will of all the people!

"Don't let the princess get on with it!!

"... Galore, the Senate cannot be defeated by a sword..."

To the chancellor's throat (throat) saying in a bloody spit, Garroll stuck his blade tip straight in his anger.

Some of the senators tried to storm into Gallor, but soon they are detained (groaned) by the other warriors.

Gallor looked at the chancellor with the colourless eyes of all mercy.

"Come on, give me an excuse. As soon as the mouth is ready, kill everyone in this place. The crime of betraying a royal family and selling a country is much heavier than you think."

"... can't you forgive me for making Princess Lucina cry so much?

To the chancellor's dialogue, the expression disappeared from Gallor's face.

After a few seconds, the chancellor stretches his spine again and opens his mouth about the same height as Gallor.

"You are a man who can serve the Coffin royal family. I'm offering everything to Princess Lucina now. Then perhaps it is the will of the princess and the inadmissibility of our authority."

"You... you spit on the royal family while you were full of royalty. It's not just about Master Lucina, I even trampled on the will of His Majesty the King, who didn't let go of his sword until the end of the day, trying to protect his country from snobbery!

Knowing that His Majesty has suffered the poisonous teeth of God, or asking Master Lucina to convey his willingness to surrender on his own without standing would be an act of transcendence beyond the minutes of an advisory body!!

"I needed to give in to Snobba as soon as possible then. Otherwise, the dead shouldn't have been as sorry as they are. Now that we have offered to surrender to Snobba, the people, you warriors, can live."

A hand with Gallol's sword began to tremble in too much anger.

The chancellor stared at the tip of the sword and said something even more outrageous.

"It's Gallo. If you don't like it, you can snap my neck later and kick the corpse. But as a bunch of remaining warriors in Coffin, there must have been a duty to understand the will of the Senate correctly."

"Understand...?

"We in the Senate have a sense that we are betraying the royal family. I truly understood that one of the arenas was not only trumpeting a part of the people, but also a dangerous act that disrupted the country's chain of command, jeopardized Princess Lucina's position, and even jeopardized the country's legal function, its autonomy, to the enemy."

Understood, he was selling the country.

To the Speaker's words, Garroll was unwittingly lowering his sword and squeezing the pattern with both hands.

Because if I hadn't kept it under control with all my might, my opponent would have ripped the chancellor's throat on his own.

Turning their gaze, the senators, at some point, were all nagging. Only one chancellor can see Gallol straight anymore.

"Be honest with me, Gallo. If we weren't in this country... what do you think would have happened to Coffin? If the royal people were moving the country to the end, not the Senate, how do you think Snowba would have done with the country?

"You......!

"In the wake of the battle death of King Lugassa, that regiment would have fought through to the last one. The same goes for you warriors and knights who were ordered to defend the castle. The people, too, many of whom would have taken weapons and stood up to their enemies.

This country is like that… everyone boasts and respects the historic royal family. And Princess Lucina would have responded to the voice of such a people. And we were not left alone, but slain by that wretched God and his legion. "

"You're trying to tell me you've prevented the demise of the country! Our betrayal has opened up Coffin's future!!

"I can't protect my country from a dead king. And Princess Lucina is not the vessel that rules the country."

A suppressing sword tip flew out of Galore's hand to explode. He pierces the chairman's right shoulder and slaps his body against Morg's body made of stone.

Before the senators make a scene, the warriors wave their swords and step on the stone floor.

Whoever moves slashes. Yes, the eyes of all the warriors were telling.

As he sloppily left his sword on the chairman's shoulder, which would slip to the foot of the patron saint, Garroll slapped both fists together, pointing to the head of the traitor.

"Do you see why the Senate was kept alive until this day when the King fell into power and you made up your own mind about the fate of the country? That's because Lady Lucina, our princess, has forgiven the Senate.

The army of snobbers who attacked you, by your deeds, gathered their swords. Even if it was the worst betrayal, the Senate protected Coffin and saved the people. Then I can't blame myself. That's what you said, Lucina, you made a fool of yourself!

"... so... that princess says it is not the vessel of the ruler..."

"You still say it!!

"I, for eight years, have been a princess of Lucina..."

The chancellor looked down at the blood flowing, laughing, also trapped by the statue of Morg.

Eight years ago. Gallol carves a crease between his brows and asks low, "What are you talking about?"

"Eight years ago... Coffin lost a lot of edible grass because of an unprecedented (Mizu) heavy rain that lasted six months. Sometimes it was just after the Battle of Separca, and I couldn't buy enough food from outside the country... famine struck all over the country"

Speaking slowly to the chancellor, Garroll narrows his eyes and digs up his memory.

Sure, there was such a time. It was when Coffin, a meadow country, was flooded with rotten plants and bird and animal carcasses.

Heavy rains subsided and it took an entire two years for the grass to come back to life.

In the meantime the people wandered through the rotten meadows in search of food and did not rely on the stockpiled food opened by the king or on wheat or potatoes as support supplies sent occasionally by Separca.

There were several devastated villages. Many abandoned their homeland and tried to cross the border.

What did Lucina do at that time? She should have been only eleven years old at the time.

The chancellor looks up at Gallol and tells him to groan as he holds the wound.

"While the people were starving... that stupid princess was fasting in the royal castle. He sneered at wearing a dress and wanted to sleep in the same room as the samurai. I was troubled by the voice of the people's suffering, and no, I tried to understand how it felt. He cried that he could not eat bread, besides the people who shake the rotten grass roots"

…………

"Some entertained the appearance with gentle, witty princesses... but our Senate was heartily disappointed. You know why, Gallo. It's a question of the qualities of those who inherit the royal family."

It brings back memories vividly. At the time, Gallol, who was already a member of the Warriors regiment, had seen Lucina's actions not only rumours and hearsay, but also as a guard at the Royal Castle.

The appearance of a child chewing on his lips before food lined up on a silver table.

The ministers and samurai were certainly impressed with your splendid attitude, and Gallor herself could not help but feel the sacred (shimmering) mesmerization of a princess who had a heart for caring for such a people as a child.

But Lugassa, the king who had already died of sickness, had no choice but to worry about his daughter.

I try to persuade him to mouth the food, but Lucina's will is stiff, and he can't say anything strong to his drowning daughter again, and I remember the honor (Homa) of martial arts and the high king completely burning his hands.

Who solved such an act?

Gallol had his face accidentally on the face of a man floating behind his brain.
