Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Let's just say that until I receive the body of Lycaen, He leaned on me, and I don't want to give up on him either, so there's no problem there.

But that's not the end of it. I don't understand a word you're saying right now. That's not the end of it. We don't know what the politics of the world are, we don't know what the military system is, what the political situation is, what the world is.

I don't know anything.

But what are we gonna do with the body? Why didn't he think of that?

“Hmm, this is embarrassing. ”

No, it's not embarrassing.

What if I open my eyes to Lycaen's body and someone talks to me and I don't understand anything? What if, in addition to that, the people here don't even know what he's talking about?

I'm sure you'll be treated like a madman.

“What are you so embarrassed about? ”

Suddenly, someone talked to me.

There's only one person here who can talk to me.

“Hey, are you awake? ”

I looked around in a hurry. What if I don't show myself to the others, and I see Lycaen talking into the air? You'd think he was crazy, too.

“Don't worry. I just got them all out. ”

I guess he didn't know how deeply he was thinking and how he woke up and sent people away.

“Anyway, what's so embarrassing? ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“That's right."

“And I don't know what kind of neighborhood this is. ”

“Of course you are. ”

I'm serious. Why is he so comfortable? It is clear that they do not realize the seriousness of the situation.

“Ouch, you stubborn man. Let's just say I'm using your body. I don't even know what you're talking about. What can I do? ”

“Hmph!”

Hey, is this another laugh?

“This is crazy.... Is this a good time to smile? ”

“Do you think I wouldn't have thought of that? Don't worry about that. ”

“What? So what's the plan? ”

I asked with great anticipation. However, Lycaen shrugs and shakes his head excitedly.

“Are you kidding me? ”

“No.”

“Then what is it you don't have to worry about when there's no way? ”

“Don't worry, it'll be taken care of." ”

What the hell is that supposed to mean? What do you mean, you're on your own?

“How the hell? ”

“Have you forgotten? You will have my body. ”

“You're worried because you know it, man! ”

Then Lycaen taps his head with his right hand finger.

“W-what are you doing? ”

“Having my body means having all the memories I have. From memory to knowledge, to my growth and my thoughts. ”

“Ugh, umm…. Well, that's... ”

“The moment you enter my body, you will know everything, so don't worry. ”

“Damn, you should have told me that before! ”

It's really only a matter of time before people become normal.

“As you know, that's my father, Earl Dane Procures. And the lady next door is my mother, Earl Hiller Procures. ”

Lycaen stood by the window, pointing at the two men in the garden, and I looked at the slip. I knew who his parents were, but I never heard the name before today.

“My father... You always try to look majestic, but you've never succeeded at it. He's too loving. ”

After stopping for a moment, Lycaen looked back at my father with a sad expression.

What's he thinking? I don't know. I didn't have time to prepare for death as calmly as him. But I don't know what to think, but I feel confused.

“My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. And wiser than any woman in the world. ”

What kind of mother in the world would do that?

Phew! It's hard to see his face. Seeing the sad look on his face that he had acted like nothing so far, I was not wrong, but I felt sorry for him.

At this time, it's best to turn to the topic quickly.

“By the way... ”

But he cut off my attempts to turn the subject into a single knife, and then he spoke again.

“And I have a sister. ”

“Hmm?"

I've never seen a woman look like her sister anywhere in this castle.

Lycaen explained whether she had read my curious expression.

“I'm two years old, and I'm studying at the Royal Academy in the capital. We'll be back at the castle in winter, so we'll see you soon. ”

“Well, I see. ”

“Other maids, servants, and officials in this castle are all working without a wage. ”

“Hmm?"

“All of whom are sacrificing for our erl. ”

Well, if that's true, his father would be a man of considerable aspiration, as Lycaen has said. On the other hand, those who are working like that are also quite loyal. Usually, when you see a good person, most people try to use them, not help them.

Oh, no. At least one person, that administrative officer Rothes, will definitely be behind the scenes……. Well, anyway.

Um, hold on? And then... This is ridiculous, but I have to ask.

“Hey, Lycaen. ”

“What's the matter? ”

“I just remembered that. The first time you called me, you said you needed experience in war. ”

“I was.”

“Is that for a reason? ”

“You might have guessed it, but you have to have war experience because you have war. ”

Of course, I had a hunch. But I wanted to know more details.

“Currently, the continent of Berath is very peaceful to the outside world. But when I see it, it's just a kind of peace that is literally visible to the outside. There has been an increasing number of conflicts that have been intertwined so far. If we go on like this, there will be a war in at least two, three years. It's literally a pile of dry firewood that hasn't been pulled out yet. ”

“A pile of dry wood.... ”

“The important thing is that there will be a war in two or three years. We'll know more soon, so we don't have to do that now, do we? ”

“Well, if that's the case. Why are you suddenly teaching me the names of your family? You said you'd find out later. ”

“Of course you are. It's just... ”

Lycaen glances out of the window and speaks slowly as his words blur.

“I want you to know more. How precious they are to me. How valuable they will be to you... …. ”

Son of a bitch... He's good at making people speechless.

“Oh, all right, man. I made a promise to the man who keeps it even with a knife to his throat. So relax.”

“Hehe, of course. ”

From that day on, Lycaen told me everything I could see. And with him, his eyes became cloudier and cloudier.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

With each passing day, his groaning became more violent. I am no longer able to train or see work.

Literally burning the last flame. His eyes, which were becoming cloudy every day, are now completely extinguished.

He was literally leaving only the day he was going to die.

I hated him.

You son of a bitch. Why are you calling me here to make me feel better? There's gonna be a lot of them. Why me?

I realized for the first time that I couldn't do anything and watching could make me feel guilty.

“Grrrgh!”

Hmm! Sounds different so far. It's more like screaming, not moaning.

Oh, really? Now?

I was furious and approached him.

He had his back as hard as a bow and was extremely tense as a wheel. The fingernails of his fist that held him tightly were digging into the palms of his hands and bleeding.

"Damn you! ’

I don't want to see him like that. I don't want to hear my moaning like it's breaking up.

But I can't leave his side. I can't sleep. I just had to look at him dazed.

“Son of a bitch. Snap out of it! ”

It was then.

“Suck!”

The two hands of Lycaen that are suddenly reaching towards me. As if trying to grab my collar, his hands stopped grabbing at my chest.

What the hell is this?

It was then.

He opened his eyes. The cloudy eyes of the man who could no longer see the light came into contact.

“Hey, are you awake? ”

“Do it. Can you do it? ”

His face was distorted.

“Do it, can you do it? ”

“Please... will you listen to me?" ”

“Of course! ”

“Do not betray. ”

His voice was crying.

“Please. Even if I die... even if I'm not there..." Please dream for me! ”

My eyes were crying.

A dreadful sadness that makes teeth tremble. And another emotion on his face.

Trembling hands, eyes repeating zooms and reductions, and voices trembling beyond comprehension.

It was fear.

Fear of death.
