I just wanted to help that person ...

I noticed Geiselik's physical anomaly after Missphere killed her first child.

"This way"

With a High Elf doctor from Kiramin, I set foot in a dungeon under the Veronia Prison Tower.

Opening a secret door known only to me, this doctor, and a few high elves that I trust, a terrifying sight of a laboratory full of toxic substances dive in.

And there is a Misfia baby who is buried at the table.

"This is very interesting."

The doctor, with the protection of a "poisoner," showed me blood taken from a baby.

Blood is slightly bluish.

It looks like the doctor mixed some medicine.

"Is it poison?"

"Yeah, the name is" poison of the abandoned species "

"It's a poison I've never heard of."

"Yes, this is the first time I have seen it. It's a poison allegedly used by demons on the dark continent."

"Demon on the dark continent? Why such a poison ..."

"Well, so far"

The doctor shrugs.

"Yes, it wasn't your job to look into it, it was bad. So what poison is it?"

"According to this poison encyclopedia written by Venom Demon, it is said that this is the poison used by prisoners."

"To a prisoner?"

"This poison is a powerful medicine that rots organs when taken normally. If you continue to take this poison for about three months in an appropriate amount, the poison adapts to the blood."

The high elf doctor warped and laughed at the elven face, which was old and still beautiful.

"The great thing about this poison is that it gets infected."

"infection?"

"It's not an infectious disease, of course, but the blood of those who have become accustomed to this poison will also be poisoned, so that the poison can reshape the body and produce the poison alive. It ’s poisonous. Well, it ’s so toxic that you ca n’t do it in everyday life. ”

"Absurd speech is your bad habit.

"I'm sorry, but I'll conclude, but human babies who are accustomed to this poison will always have stillbirth."

"After all ..."

"In addition, this poison can be transmitted to the opponent by sexual activity. Well, if you share the floor with the same opponent many times. That's why the poison adapts to the poison. It destroys the fertility of the entire settlement. ''

"What did you say?"

I felt my eyes darkened. If so ...

"Gayzerik and Misphere were very careful not to be poisoned. They would always have been protected by high-elven magicians."

"It would have been surprising that even the magicians in Lilinrara had turned their blood into poison."

"... Gayzerik"

"It's the impulse of blessing the" Emperor. "Love cannot be king. You need to succeed as soon as possible to stabilize the king's position. A windowless carriage goes to a monastery where Leonor is under arrest. The rumor that we are doing has reached this basement. ''

The doctor pats the dying baby in love.

Perhaps the blessing of the Poisoner is calling for the excitement of the unknown poison as an urge. Even though I knew, I couldn't control the disgust of this doctor.

"So what do you need for an antidote?"

"Detoxification is impossible. A work of art created by Venom Demon. That is the only healing skill that only the legendary" Brave "has."

"I don't care about such a fairy tale! If it were, the king's succession would be ...!"

"Children are impossible"

A ruthless assertion made by an excellent doctor. This time, my eyes were completely dark.

...... but.

"But if you're a child of man, there is hope."

"What does it mean"

"We are"

The doctor pointed to my lower abdomen.

"As you know, as we know, high elves have much higher vitality than humans. Our children may be able to withstand poison. I keep it on record. "

The heart beats so painfully. Despite this situation, I felt that some kind of emotion that had been abandoned grew with dim joy.

Even though I hate myself ...

"Is there really no antidote?"

I had so checked with the doctor.

The child born was like his father. I will never forget the feelings I felt when I held this child in my arm.

If you look like me, I'm even more terrified of myself, who wanted to cut this child's face to the doctor of that prison tower.

"I'm your mother only today ..."

In my words, the baby in his arm said, "Oh," and laughed.

I cried if I realized.

Then I gave my child to Missphere.

I admit that the poor language and the concealment of the truth to Missphere were, in retrospect, bad.

But ... I was scared. For whatever reason, I betrayed Missphere. Missphere never gives birth to Geyserik, and she forces me and Geiserik's son to be his own, forcing it to Geiserik.

If I had been a Missphere, I would not have forgiven. You would have been swearing shamelessly.

...... I was not calm at this time.

If he was calm, he would have been thinking deeper about Leonor's intent.

Leonor had avenged his father and husband until he had sacrificed his future ... I was so grateful.

Shortly after Salius was born, he was surprised to hear that Leonor also had a child.

Leonor himself would have had a relationship with Geiserik after drinking the "poison of the abandoned species", so Leonor should have also been killed by the poison.

However, Leonor gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Prince Silberio and the second son Prince Uzuku.

Probably the same replacement as Salius, but ... not even evidence, I couldn't find any suspicious movement.

The poison was prepared by Leonor. Perhaps even the high elf had an antidote that he did not know.

And Leonor threatened Missphere in a case of Salius and was unwittingly expelled.

The disappearance of the first princess, Missphere, forced Geiserik to demand that Leonor and his surroundings claim to lower the right of succession of Salius to the lowest.

Then I ... moved to protect Salius and become king.

Finally, I betrayed Geyserik's even the purpose of helping him, and he was working for my child ...

Where am I wrong?

What should I do?

If I hadn't met Geyserik on that day as a boy who was chained as a rower's slave on a pirate ship ... could I still be a carefree pirate?

Misfia ... Before my mother disappeared, I wasn't even convinced.

So I have little memory of my mother.

Dazzlingly, she was such a quiet woman watching me playing from a distance.

When I heard the story of assaulting the royal city with my mother and father when I was a pirate, I was often confused because my image was different from my mother in my memory.

Veronian aristocrats do not directly raise their children.

One of my memories of my childhood was the one-eyed general, High Elf Lilinrara.

"Salius, what are you doing?"

It was always the first voice when Lilin Lara called me.

No matter what I'm doing, no matter what I see at a glance, Lirin Lara always told me that.

Lilinrara, even as a nobleman, has one eye covered with a black eye patch, as in the pirate era. Even wearing a luxurious noble dress, he always had a pirate-like rugged cutlass on his waist.

I was still around as a foreign body, but I liked meeting Lirin Lara.

Lilinrara tells me an exciting sea story that is different from the classy noble and knight story.

I was bored because I couldn't go anywhere, and secretly took me to my ship and taught me the color and smell of the sea.

I knew my mother wasn't my true mother when I adventured with a radiant dragon named Alhazen.

It was a radiant dragon-like adventure like a prince and a dragon fighting the evil witch in the forest ... but let's omit it because the story itself is irrelevant.

The important thing was that I brought out a set of gauntlets in Lilinrara's room.

It was a splendid gem made of green steel and fit perfectly into my hand as a magical child.

I knew only a playful sword, but when I wore that gauntlet, I was able to swing the sword freely like a swordsman of the past and fight the monsters in the forest.

And when you defeat the witch ... the witch looks at my gauntlet and warps her mouth and laughs ...... that's a magic item called the swordsman's gauntlet (Gantrez of Swordsmanship) that can only be dealt by high elves I taught me and I died.

Of course, it was a shock. Neither father nor mother is a high elf.

That is, one is not my true parent.

When I thought so, there was a high elf in my mind.

Once conscious, suspicion turned quickly into conviction. Or rather, from the beginning, it fits in with Ston.

And the witch's words were supported by my extremely slow aging. I didn't change my appearance too much to be a human.

The days of the struggle for power were never relieved, but I was happy that my mother was fighting for me.

I was abandoned by my mother, and my father sentenced me to have nothing to pass on, but my mother was by my side and kept trying to protect me.

I wanted to say thank you. I wanted to tell you I love you.

I wanted to treat my mother as my mother.

That was all I wanted.

My father fell ill, and my fight with my mother was about to end. As we knew from the beginning, in the form of defeat.

At that time, a nobleman with a Leonor faction lied that he was actually going to rebel against Leonor, and came closer to me .... Information on his mother's whereabouts was given as a souvenir.

I knew it was a trap, but I had another idea.

Anyway, if my mother tells me that I don't know, we may be able to give up my father and the kingdom.

I wonder if my mother and I could live as distant parents and children in the east, beyond the end of the world, just as they did in this Zoltan.

If my father had broken and I wouldn't be on the throne, there would be nothing to bind my mother to Veronia anymore.

I thought so.

Never lose your mother again.

"Let's never lose my mother"

After finishing the talk, Prince Salius exhaled long and deep. My hands on the table are sweating from tension, and now I'm still looking down.

Lilinrara and Prince Salius seem to have spoken completely about their thoughts.

Everyone wasn't doing what they wanted, except everyone was working for someone, not for themselves.

Misphia wished for the happiness of his loved ones, Lilinrara fought lonely for her child, and Prince Salius just wanted to regain her parent-child relationship.

None of them came true, and only the moon was flowing.

I take out the gauntlet collected when I defeated Lilinrara and put it on the table.

"I will return."

A well-polished gauntlet showed the faces of Lilinrara and Prince Salius, as well as a few miles away from Missphere.
