The white arrow that was released from my hand quickly turned into countless tiny shines.

A small arrow drops down on the soldiers, piercing their body.

But I will never hurt you.

It purifies only the dark forces that cover it.

The soldiers who had my magic arrow stood up with a stunned expression.I look at my colleague next to me and see with my eyes what has happened so far.

... Phew... it looks like you're back to your senses.

But I can't even slow down.

"Haaaaaaaaaa!"

Ma, wait, calm down!

I haven't healed everything.The knights who are still dyed in darkness are about to attack the knights who have returned to their senses.

I put my right hand to the trigger.

"Magic Arrow, Magic Arrow, Magic Arrow -"

Hundreds of white arrows were fired and poured down into the knights.

Soon the knights returned to sanity.

"What are we doing...."

"What happened, now...."

... I'm done with my work.

Looking back, I approached Nastasia.

"It's over. I'll take care of the rest."

"Thank you... I'll do it, you?"

Nastasia slaps me on the shoulder and comes forward again.

Once again, Nastasia gave the order.

"The enemy is Count Grad Emegis! Go ahead, warriors!"

We followed the sane knights into the castle of the Count of Emegis.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

The knights started talking in the entrance hall of the royal castle.

--Where is the Count?

They run to a place where they think they can be divided into groups.That's the knight of Emegis. Knowledge of the castle is perfect.

"I will not miss the Count.Nastasia-san is here... "

One of the knights said that.

"The Third Princess of Nastasia Valentianu"

Such a voice broke in.

Certainly about 30 butlers who greeted us when we came to the County.

"A message from the Count of Emegis.I'll be waiting for you in a moment. "

It was the knights who were scared.

"Perfect! We have to hurry..."

"Count Nastasia wants a party."

Nastasia smiles at the butler's words.

"You look like a trap. You think that's where I'm going?"

"... convey the words of the Count - that's my job"

Phew

Fufufu, Nastasia kept laughing.

"... well, it's a royal duty to answer the questions of nobility."

"Master Nastasia, don't be alarmed!"

It was Rio, the escort and maid, who shouted.

Nastasia smiles provocatively at the Rio.

"I'm not alarmed.Because I'm taking you and Mio.Or are you not confident to protect me? "

"Yes, that's...!"

Rio kept tapping on the sword pattern.

"Of course there is!"

Okay.

Nastasia nodded well.

"Come with me, Count Licht.Do you have much to say to the Count? "

"Of course!"

Licht nodded.

So Rio interrupted.

"... what I want to say. You say that the royal duty is this, but Nastasia just wants to say something to the Count?"

Nastasia's eyes shine brightly.

"Yes, of course! The Count...! I'm sorry if I didn't complain because you did so much trouble!"

Nastasia became faint when she replied in Norinori, trembling with her hands.I kept coughing up the symptoms.

"Without the present."

... eh...

"Rio, if you lead, you'll do it."

"Because you say things that will test me, Nastasia."

Nastasia will take us and some of the skilled knights with her.It was on the top floor of the castle while watching.The Count of Emegis is sitting alone on the throne.

... I can't see that guy named Forth...

The throne is higher than the others.

And the Count put his feet together, and put his cheeks on the arm of the armrest, and smiled, and looked down at Nastasia.

I'm looking down.

Nastasia the royal.

"Welcome, Third Princess Nastasia."

The Count said with a voice that made him feel comfortable.

Rio shouted sharply.

"Count Emegis! Identify yourself!It would be disrespectful to look down at Nastasia from high ground! "

The Count does not waver. From your mouth, just a smile leaks as you cum. And I said it.

So?

Our air seemed to have cracked.

The words...

A nobleman who swears allegiance to the kingdom is no good.

"Let me do whatever I want.Everything will be over today anyway.Look down at the royal family - you can enjoy it as much as you like. "

Nastasia does not waver in the words of the Count.

"... how are you feeling, Count of the Sunset?"

Not bad.

"Yes, then, I'll accompany you to your final mood shift, so speak with pride."

Nastasia went on like this.

"Why are you trying to manipulate me?"

Saana

The Count shrugged his shoulders.

"I really don't know.It's all Forth's intention. He tried to keep the princess in his hands.I just helped. "

"... Forth - who is that man?"

"I don't know that either. I'm not interested.He seems to belong to a worthless organization, but it doesn't matter. "

Then the Count went on.

"That man's 'manipulative power' is useful.So I put it on the side.That made me a Count. "

That made me a Count.

The moment I heard that word, I remembered one.

He was a great lord. His ancestors...

--The Earls killed everyone, including their own family.

That's what I heard in the village I investigated.

And the current Count of Emegis, who happened to be out there and escaped, led his soldiers against his predecessors.

I put the prediction to rest.

"... Count Emegis, you're the one who drove your ancestors mad?"

"That's right."

The Count admitted quickly.

"I used Forth to manipulate my brother, and I did."

It was a decisive confession.

Silence spreads between Shin and Shin.

But it was then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I heard something crushing.And the floor is trembling.

... what is this? An earthquake...?

Nastasia looked a little shabby, but in the meantime she gave priority to the Count's opponent.

"I don't think you're sane."

Nastasia tells in a quiet tone.

"Maybe you're being manipulated?"

"I don't know, maybe."

The Count's voice was far from serious. And this keeps going.

"But is that important?"

"What do you mean?"

"Whether you're being manipulated or not.Whether this is my intention or not. It doesn't matter. "

The Count laughed.

"Because! I will be the Count instead of my stupid brother!I spent all the time I wanted!Because it filled my heart!Isn't that the fact important!? "

Dogon!

I heard a loud noise this time. The castle itself shakes.

... what is this...?

But nothing changed the expression of the castle's owner, Count Emegis.

"Forth demanded money and heavy mischief, but I'm not dissatisfied.That's what he gave me. "

"Count!"

That's where Licht gave a sharp voice.

"I said heavy mythrill, but you were still lying around!?"

"Hahahahaha! Exactly!"

The Count laughed so joyfully.

"Nice job, new guy.Don't take over with all your heart. "

"What did you do that for!?"

Forth's experiment.

"Experiment?"

Licht's voice spilled.

"You mean the Golem of the Heavy Mythrill in that mine!?"

"Ha-ha! Ha-ha! No.With that amount of material, I won't leave any evidence that you can find out about it! "

At the same time...

Ohh!

A loud noise resounded.The building shakes at a level where your body is fluttering.

The Count rose from the throne.

"Can't you hear me!? This sound!?Don't you feel this vibration?This is the power that Forth and I have built underneath this castle over the years! "

A giant object appeared behind the Count of Emegis.

Crush the floor with a roar, break through the walls, and even destroy the ceiling.

"Wow! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

We scream without meaning.

It was Golem, a giant, dark armored warrior, who appeared as if poking at the blue sky.
