Ferrill.

I can't remember the name...!?

No, that's right.

I wonder when Forte used it for his name.

"Forte, daughter of Ferrill, chief of the Lobos" or something.

Then Forte is arguing now…….

... Parent-child fights!?

It is awkward to say anything about family circumstances and watch from the shadows.

"Parent-child edge...!? Why! I've been thinking about cutting myself up for the Lobos...!

"That's what extra help is all about. Indeed, our Lobos have been defeated. I succumbed to an empire that attacked me far more than exotic. It has been said that we were unbeaten in the meadow, and that we had no power to lay before such a large army as to fill the meadow."

Your mother's tone is trembling whether she remembers the remorse she had at the time.

"My husband, a former chief, was also killed in battle at that time. You must remember that, too."

"I was mindful by then too......!

Suffering is also seeping through Forte's voice.

"Your father, who was brought in with a crossbow arrow throughout his body, was petitioned at the time of his death. 'No more fighting is necessary. Leave the Lobos'. Surrender and let your people survive rather than lose and perish. Isn't that your father's will? So I...!

"Are you taking the initiative, waving your tail, and serving the Empire as a dog? Shameless. You don't seem to understand what the former chief said."

The Twelve Apostolic Presentations are one of the major events to which we have invited all the way to other Heads of State.

All those in more than a certain capacity within the Empire will be forced to participate.

For that reason, when the city of Ilunne went out of communication, Greiluga and I went out.

Even if they are dominated, will they call you if you are the head of the clan?

"The Lobos are the strongest tribe in the meadows. The force was regarded as a wolf's fang and overwhelmed other tribes living in the meadows as well. And wolves are lonely things. It is wolves who disobey no one, rely on nowhere, and follow their own path."

Yet……, the mother continues.

"Are you going to move on your own as a hostage, sell your charm to the Empire, get your official position, and be proud of it? That's not wolf business. It's the business of a dog with fangs removed."

"With all my heart to fulfill your father's will...!

"You seem to even know the will of the former chief. What that guy said was, 'Leave the Lobos'. Do you think that if a settlement or a person stays, the clan stays too?

In fact, isn't it?

"No. There is something more important than people and land. That's proud. The pride of being the strongest wolf in the meadow, losing it and the survival of the Lobos."

"I am…, I do not mean to abandon my pride……!

"No, you disparaged pride. Lobos wolf pride into dog pride. Thousands of indolents from a wolf's point of view, such as dogs praised and joyfully brave by their owners. Such a person no longer deserves to be named the Lobos!

"... ugh!?"

Forte's sad feelings have reached this point.

I don't think it's time I just watched.

"That's why I said I'd be out of touch with you. You can't keep a fool in your body who disparages the Lobos from wolf to dog. It is also uncomfortable to have been called to such a place today. I will return to the settlement soon."

…………

Forte didn't say anything.

There will be a hundred objections to showering if you want to say it back, but there will be reluctance on the mother who divided the blood, the head of her own clan.

If she can't do it, someone else will.

"Wait."

I entered through the shadows.

"Ji, Shira!?"

"Forte has been working hard in this imperial capital. It and this are all for my own tribe. Can't you acknowledge the effort?

He doesn't know I was lurking nearby, and Forte is thoughtfully upset.

She must have been given a beast piece to sharpen her senses, too. I wonder if the mother's words were so shocking that she didn't care about the abnormalities around her.

"Forte's actions are extremely legitimate as hostages."

A country or force in an alliance gives a key figure to the opponent. If I betray you, I will kill Soytz.

Insurance to prevent the other person from betraying you. That's what political hostages mean.

But other than that, it is also the role of the more senior hostages to learn and grow in the land of captivity and to serve as a bridge between the two forces by establishing their position on the other side.

"She perfectly did the part. Having produced one of the Twelve Apostles, everyone in the Empire will now have a glimpse into you and your tribe."

"Zilla!? Why are you here!? No, stop before that! This is about us parents and children……!?"

I think it's just too much to stick your neck in a family situation.

"But let me tell you something."

"Zilla......?

"You're my loved one."

"Zillah!?"

He took good care of my sister Selene while I was on the road.

I have to repay you a little here.

"Hung, who are you like that?

"Imperial Guardian Beast Twelve Apostles, Twelfth Jirat"

Let's go through this publicly under the name of an executive.

Forte's mother laughed openly with her nose when she heard that......

"You mean the same stupid daughter there, the imperial dog?

No. It's a rat.

Until earlier, she was hidden in the shadows and out of sight, but Forte's mother, Mr. Ferrill, looked very similar to only her parents and children.

It may be said that it feels as if Forte has been made an adult color mummy by Adarti.

The rugged clothing of the border tribe was more and more colorful with chiralism.

"Either way, no need to talk. Like my daughter there said, this is about my Lobos tribe. I don't ask for outside opinions."

"The Lobos, too, are now part of the Empire"

Mother frowns at the fact of poking at her.

"It was decided from the moment you fought and succumbed to the Empire. Since then, you have been allowed to survive by following the Empire. Don't forget that."

Well, while apologizing in advance for the eavesdropping...

"You've been screaming with wolf pride since earlier, but those things will have been lost since you lost the Empire."

If the pride and the doings of the wolf are based on solitude and indomitable.

"It's hilarious that you, who give in to the empire and are able to live while obeying it, whine about your loneliness and pride. You don't see reality. The reality is that I'm a loser."

"Jira, hey...!?"

Forte seems to have seen his tongue get sharper and sharper.

But let me do some more.

Forte pulls back on my watch.

"Forte sees reality better than you and others. She thinks of herself incorporated into the empire and has worked hard to reconcile the two. This gathering of the Twelve Apostles."

With Forte in the fourth place of the Twelve Apostles, the position of the Lobos within the empire will from now on jump exceptionally.

"The tribe from which that lady Jieforte comes" is treated politely.

Wrong will not be seen below with the colonized tribe.

"If Forte denigrates the achievement he's made with the thought of spitting blood as pointless, you don't deserve to be the head of the clan. Better than a loser if you're a keeper. And you can't even be a loser if you can't accept defeat while you lose. Less than that."

I'm lonely because I can't accept defeat. I hope that if I'm indomitable, I'm not in line with reality.

"Shut up, the Imperial......! Don't insult my Lobos any more......!

Relentlessly spoken, and that's your mother, too?

My voice is trembling with anger.

"When did we lose to you guys!? Even if we tried to lose the war, we didn't give in to our hearts! Sooner or later the snowflake kept grinding its fangs!!"

"Hmm..."

Does she understand?

The danger of what I'm saying right now?

"Then why did you send Forte as a hostage? That would be a sign of heartfelt submission, wouldn't it?

"That's the wolf's hidden claw! Sooner or later the empire will kill Forte when we have finished our female slumps and stripped away our vengeance fangs! That's fine!

"What?"

"The people of the Lobos do not hate death if it is for the sake of the clan. Not if it's the chief's daughter. Forte was sent to the Empire to die from the beginning! To alarm the Empire!

It's a really harsh story, but I also thought it was possible.

Death and other meaninglessness to their clan, individual lives exist only to protect their own clan.

If you're going to name a battle tribe, that much cruelty should be taken for granted, and Spartans and Mongols long before you were reincarnated were such nori, I'm sure.

There's just that kind of decisive difference between a murderer in history and her in front of me.

She is stupid.

"What you're saying…, you're saying that the Lobos have treason against the Empire"

Now the Lobos will perish.

What do you do by showing off your revenge fangs before you stick them up?

That's like a weak dog barking at a camp.
