Episode 44: Side Story Mersulia Thoughts

"It appears that His Highness Leon has been contacted about his arrival on the plains. Probably tomorrow or the day after, we'll be at war with the Imperial Army."

That's what Ellis told me, but I just snort at the words.

The present situation is quite harsh for the Kingdom.

It is clear that twenty days have passed since the invasion and occupation of the city of Fristel in the western part of the kingdom by the Imperial Army to advance the army to this king's capital as well.

There are no signs that the Empire will respond to the Kingdom's protests or peace negotiations, and when it learns that most expeditionary troops are preparing to march again, the Kingdom will request reinforcements from neighboring countries to prepare for battle to intercept the Imperial Army.

At the same time, we issued evacuation recommendations to all cities and settlements west of the Wang capital to evacuate residents.

However, the difference in power is obvious and how much more than twice as many Imperial armies can hold up against their opponents even when combined with reinforcements from friendly countries.

My brother also went out in preparation to know that he might not be able to step on the land of the Wang capital again.

Of course I was going to accompany you, but it is unacceptable, and in this way I can only wish you well in the royal castle.

Now I think about two months ago, the demon squares inside the Summoning Tower in the Royal Castle (which was actually a surveillance tower built in the early days, but was no longer used with the expansion of the Royal Castle and replaced the warehouse) were destroyed by someone. At that time, the effectiveness of the Demon Square had already been lost, and it was judged by the remnants of the Demon King's Army and was not considered a major problem, but that was also probably the work of the Empire, which considered the possibility of intervention of the brave.

The chronic lack of combat power since the beginning of the war with the Demon King's Army has kept the security inside the Royal Castle incomplete. Of course, the appropriate escorts have been sent to senior officials and royalty in the country, but there are not enough personnel to fully guard the entire royal castle.

It was now the end of the battle against the forces of the evil gods, who were enemies of mankind as a whole, that we had to proceed with the reconstruction of the whole country, and we had no idea that the next battle would begin so soon.

I was lazy. Is that what you mean?

People were taught from an early age that if they neglected, they would get paid for their negligence, but now the kingdom may be getting paid for it.

In any case, we can say that the kingdom is in danger of survival now.

If the Empire ravages us, our royalty will not be spared execution. Maybe I can be made an instrument for the imperial royalty to be daughter-in-law and rule the kingdom, but I'm not going to take it spoiledly.

However, we will have to strive to ensure that our lives are not sacrificed to the people as long as we can.

That's why my brother is in battle, and I'm waiting for him at the royal castle. To use all the magic of the royal castles to take the Imperial Army into the royal castle.

"Has Tia arrived at Mr. Leiria by now?"

I shrugged without even asking Ellis.

"Considering the number of days, I thought it was time to arrive."

It returns a reply to discipline.

"Tia must be angry."

Hearing about the invasion of the Imperial Army, Tia immediately volunteered for the army of interception. But I did not allow it, and neither did my brother or both sires.

Sometimes Tia was asked by Yuya, but she's also an important daughter like my sister to me.

It does have considerable strength as a force, but war is not something that individual combat forces alone can handle.

We royals and nobles will not be allowed to escape that duty, as will Sir Legg, a knight.

But Tia's not. It has to be unrelated to war and so on, just like the people.

We have decided to push the unconvincing tier away as' we cannot involve those from other countries' and still turn to Mr. Leiria as a messenger to prevent him from joining us without permission.

We know that Mr. Leiria has nothing to do with the kingdom.

Mr. Leiria will not do better in exercising his own power than Mr. Yuya is not in this world. But he adored Tia like my sister did, so I think only Tia would protect me no matter what.

Surprisingly, it looks like you could still meet Yuya after she returned to her original world, so maybe you can get Tia to meet Yuya.

"I thought you missed me more than you were angry"

"Right. But yeah, but if I hadn't told you, I wouldn't have been able to. But I would have fought."

I answer Ellis' words with a bitter laugh.

If I'm in the same position, I think it feels like being torn apart that we can't fight together. So this is my best.

For God's sake, I want Tia alone to be happy. That's my best.

When we were lost in such thoughts, the outside of the room became noisy with Russia.

Did something even happen in an emergency?

"That's noisy. Princess, I'm going to check a little bit."

That's what Ellis said and left the room.

After dozens of seconds, Ellis came back in a panic.

I've never seen Ellis get upset that way. Even though I don't have to break my expression all the time.

That being said, she's really a very kind and caring woman.

It's just hard to make outrageous remarks and spit poison sometimes though.

But when you look at that look, it doesn't seem like something so bad happened.

"hi, princess, oh, hey, calm down and listen"

"You better calm down first. What happened to you?

I visit her with a laugh at her unusual and disturbed tone.

Ellis returned her expression to the usual when she took a big, several deep breaths and made a bomb statement.

"Master Leiria and Master Yuya came earlier to the refinery yard within the royal castle. Youya asks to see with His Majesty the King. Immediately, the Kingsguard contacted His Majesty, saying that Youya had been allowed to pass during the refrain."

"Huh!?

For a moment I couldn't understand what Ellis was talking about.

And I was popping out of the room at the same time the content of the words came into my head.

While I aim to refrain.

It's just that I was in a private room in the back of the Royal Castle. I find the size of the royal castle cursed at all times like this.

I arrived between refrains with the thought of gradually slamming the door without constant indiscriminateness and I couldn't wait to hear back. You can't be a lady before as a royal, but only this time, let me forgive you.

There stood a surprised look at Yuya across the door that opened.

"Mr. Yuya!

I accidentally jumped into Yuya's chest when I shouted like that.

I feel my previous anxiety melting like snow when I hug Yuya's body.

As I wept with my body feeling the presence of Mr. Yuya,

"Your Highness. You've been very bold. But I was wondering if you'd like to look around a little bit."

I hear Ellis say that, and my head regains a bit of calm.

When I rushed away from Yuya, I immediately remembered my earlier actions and the fever rose on my face.

One woman stands behind Yuya when she feels her gaze and looks at you.

Am I as old as I am, black hair to my shoulders and black eyes that look as strong as Yuya's core? Very pretty person.... my breasts seem to be bigger than mine too.

"Well, then, I'll introduce you. This is my old friend Sy from the world."

Yuya introduced me to a woman like she panicked.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Kudo Shi. I've heard from Yuya briefly. Best regards,"

Was this the acorn that Yuya used to say?

It was a little different from what I imagined, but it seemed so sweet and handy... handy?

What are you saying? I am.

I will introduce myself, even though I am confused by my inner self.

Once again, when I tried to ask Yuya why I was visiting, I was informed that I was ready to take a look.

I would have liked to know as soon as I could, but you can't help it.

Yuya and the ministers will be rushing back to their respective jobs as they leave between the sights.

I guess we have to move a lot to deal with that because the participation of Yuya and Leiria forced us to change our future policy. It's just that it's hopeful unlike anything that's ever been gloomy.

Only two people enter the battle to change all the flow.

I guess that means he's a brave man and a hero. Even if Mr. Leiria wasn't here, that wouldn't have changed.

Of course, it's not something I can be optimistic about given the difference in power, but something other than that fighting power dispels your anxiety for you.

If that's the one, I'll be fine. Something like that.

"Then, Your Majesty, I would like to show Lady Acorn around the castle."

"We're the only ones here right now, so I guess you want me to call you Father. You could be my dad."

Have you lost your mind? Your Majesty will slap you lightly, as usual.

But I won't deal with them because when I'm dating, I'll be in good shape as soon as I can.

"Then His Majesty the King (...). Excuse me. Dear Acorn, I'll show you around the castle briefly first. Even so, watching everything can take a while, so let's just start with what we normally use."

I called out to Lady Akane.

"Oh, yes, thank you"

Is Lady Akane nervous, she bows politely?

"Kusshh. You may not be comfortable with all the strangers, but Lord Akane is a valued customer. Please be more comfortable."

"Oh, you know, Mr. Acorn is a bit. It doesn't matter if you call it off."

"Really? So, Mr. Acorn, I call you. Never mind that my tone has become a habit. Please call me Mel."

Explore the facilities and courtyard in the castle with such conversations.

At the end of the day, come to my private room and take a break.

In a few moments you will also be ready for Mr. Acorn's room to stay.

Looks like I'm getting a little nervous talking to you over tea on the terrace.

Ellis joined us, and I've heard about Akane and his world, and Leiria said that it seems like a very developed place, and I'm not exhausted.

I want to experience it, especially since it can be a one-time outfit, treat, etc.

A question flew in from Mr. Akane after a while of bickering.

Until now, we've been asking questions one way or the other.

"Um, what kind of life did Yuya have over here?

"Well, it'll be a little longer, but you'd better talk to Yuya from the time she comes to this country."

With that said, I took Yuya's encounter out of my memory.

The cut that Yuya was to come to this country, no, this world, starts with the fact that I was commissioned by the goddess Valienis, one of the main gods of this world.

The temple was that demon kings were born among the demons, that their demons were about to lead the demons to invade the land of the Pu and the Beast races, that there was a presence behind it called the Evil God, that it was impossible for those in this world to confront the Evil God, and that for this reason it was necessary to call one brave man from another world to this world.

At the time, I was in the royal family and I was known for the high magic of its possession, but I was not special, so suddenly I didn't know how to be entrusted.

But at the same time the temple descended on his father, His Majesty the King and the Temple's chief priest, who brought credibility to Russia with the sudden engraving of the demonic squares of the summons on the old tower, which had become a warehouse in the royal castle.

And with His Majesty the King's decision, I will perform the ritual of summons. The way it was done had been communicated in my memory with the commissioner.

A summoning ritual was performed at the specified date and time, and it was Yuya who showed up there.

Yuya, who was suddenly brought into this world, seemed quite bewildered, but when asked, he seemed to have met and been briefed by Master Varienis at the time of the summons, surprisingly enough to accept the status quo.

Nevertheless, we owe a great deal to Yuya, who was brought here with or without any indication at the convenience of this world, even though it is the result of some divine entrustment.

You have promised to cooperate as much as you can, and you have accepted to be a brave man.

However, even though I said the brave man Valienis called, at that point Mr. Yuya had no power at all to fight. There was no way to use magic, and force was like no hands or feet to the general soldier. He seemed knowledgeable and smart, but that's all.

Naturally, those around you are disappointed and insult Mr. Yuya.

But Yuya did not pass through them, and before the sun rose, he trained his body and trained his knight against him, and when the sun set, he learned magic and stretched his magic until midnight. So much so that I wondered when the hell he was sleeping.

There were several magicians who could use healing and healing for when Yuya was injured or ran out of strength, but they would continue to work out every day until the magic of all of them was exhausted. You were screaming about a magician who would continue to work out and recover more than Mr. Ning Lo Yuya himself, even though he suffered fractures, visceral injuries, and broken limbs every day. I did Yuya's treatment because I was good at healing magic myself, but I even felt horrified when I saw him practicing to death many times every day.

And in less than a month, Yuya became seen with awe and respect from all the knights in the castle. By the way, in less than six months, swordsmanship in action was only enough to compete with Sir Legg, who was regarded as the strongest in the kingdom.

Magic didn't change that attitude, and I'm sure you had the original knowledge, but instantly you learned many magics in action, increasing the maximum value of magic by depleting magic to dangerous levels every day.

I've stopped on boulders many times, but I said, 'I don't know how many years it would take a normal way to work out. I will do what I can, whether unscrupulous or whatever,' and I will not stop.

It's like a miracle he didn't get broken.

No one will be able to do the same when they tell you to do the same.

And a year went by, and no one in this country could stand alongside him.

During the same period the demonic activity had become active and the country bordering the demonic territory had begun to be invaded by demons from time to time.

So a party will be created with the task of marching against the Demon King's Army, mainly Mr. Yuya, and Sir Legg from the Kingdom and Sir Lance from the Irvenian Empire, who has a high call with the Imperial One, were chosen. And by summoning brave men and specializing in healing magic, I was to be called in the awe-inspiring name of 'Virgin' and so on, and I was to join in.

Besides, Tia joined us when it was a while after your first trip.

Then we attacked the bases of the Demon King's Army everywhere and reached deep into the demonic realm, defeating the Demon King and crusading the Evil God with even more strength.

As we speak about these things I ask how Mr Acorn is doing.

Mr. Akane has a spicy, painful look from time to time as he listens to me. You must be stuck imagining the ordeal of the path that Yuya followed.

I can easily imagine that feeling. Because I felt it many times when I was on that side myself.

Especially now I am clearly reminded of the first time Yuya defeated a bandit.

It seems that killing people was considered one of the biggest contraindications in Yuya's world, and Yuya seemed to have quite a grip.

The day he returned the bandits he attacked, when he was camping, Mr. Yuya was up in the middle of the night to purify his body in the river. I was taking turns watching, and I was like, 'What's going on? When she visits, Yuya says,' No, I can't sleep because of the smell of blood coming from my body. 'I can't forget Yuya's sad eyes at that time.

I accidentally wanted to hold her in this chest and comfort her, but Yuya wiped her body back before moving on to action. It's still there, no, it's still strong in my mind.

"Um, thank you. I'm sure Hiroya was able to come back unbroken because of Mel's support. Thank you so much."

Having finished listening, Mr. Acorn stood up and bowed his head deeply to me.

There were endless tears from the eyes of Mr. Acorn, who raised his face, but his expression is a loving smile.

What sprang up on me then? Black emotions similar to hatred that make me want to scream for no reason.

I am perplexed by that emotion.

Mr. Akane must have thanked me because that's all I think of Mr. Yuya.

I think of Mr. Yuya, I regret myself for not being able to be on his side when he was hard, and I am still happy to be back and bow my head to me for helping him with that.

How many thoughts can you do that?

That much thought finally brought me to this emotion.

This is jealousy.

He hoped that Yuya would return despite the painful experience, and there must have been a great influence on Mr. Akane's presence in front of him. I got over it with my support to see her again.

And she gives her sincere thanks to the woman who spent his ordeal with him. I am jealous of the depth of that bond.

It's not like I never felt heterosexual to Yuya during my two-year journey.

I just had a position as a princess, and Mr. Yuya wanted to go back to the original world.

I was sure he would have someone deeply affectionate, and that person would be the woman who would be the 'acorn' that he had been told his name so often.

If you think so, you can't go through your thoughts with him.

When he defeated the Evil God and triumphed over the King's Capital, it was also easy to get the right place if you want. And then there would have been a future for me to bond with him.

Maybe I wanted it.

When Yuya returned, he joked half the time and said, 'I expected you to stay,' etc., but I wonder if that was actually the true truth that he accidentally revealed.

The next day I also spend walking around the courtyard with Mr. Acorn and guiding him around the castle.

The emotions that I realized yesterday I decided to sink deeply into my heart.

Whatever it is, it's nothing but barren now.

Finish your morning stroll and grab a late lunch at both sires and me, Mr. Acorn.

Mr. Akane seemed quite nervous when he heard the king and queen would be present, but if you look at that father, you'll soon be relieved of the tension as well.

Honestly, the discrepancy between public affairs and private affairs is too intense.

Lunch, which began inexorably at first, also turned into a soothing atmosphere by the end of the meal, and Mr. Akane looked largely unraveled.

Father is also concerned about the presence of his young daughter and speaks to rap.

Sometimes my mother has blue muscles, so I guess the cage awaits later. I don't even feel sorry for you, though.

When the meal was over and he was eating tea while having a conversation, the knight had made a report.

"Excuse me. A message from His Royal Highness Leon has just arrived. It's good news."

I seem surprised not only by this, but also by your father.

It's not even a day since Yuya left yesterday.

"I don't mind! Get through here!!

In response to that word, the knight ran away, and in due course, that one in the Magic Division was certainly the deputy division chief, but it has been guided.

"I will report to you. This morning in the plains east of Fristel, a war was waged with the Imperial Army. I beat this!

I was hoping to hear it was good news, but still the surprise prevails.

How can we achieve such an early victory over as many as 80,000 opponents?

I have experienced many miraculous victories that Yuya makes, but this one is extremely good nonetheless.

"What's the damage?

"We don't know the details of the damage to our army yet, but it seems to be about a thousand or so. There are no casualties on the commander who started it. The Imperial side seems to have seen 5,000 dead and 10,000 warriors separated. In addition, we have captured the Crown Prince, general of the Imperial Army."

"Oh, that! Is Hiroya safe?!

Unexpectedly, I guess. Mr. Akane is asking with his mouth pinched.

Normally disrespectful but naturally no one blames it.

"Yes. I have not suffered one predatory wound. His Royal Highness Leon also said that Lord Kashargi had planned the operation and that the battle had many consequences."

The deputy division manager will also respond to Mr. Akane's questions with a smile.

"Right. Thank you very much. Anything else?

"No. First it was an order to deliver a report to His Majesty. The officer returns to the squad."

When His Majesty nods and acknowledges, he turns back his heel and leaves the dining room. Its footprint is as light as if even its wings were growing.

His Majesty then exhaled heavily when he gave instructions to the ministers, who were Lord to the knight he had refrained from giving him the current report.

"No, destroy more than half of the Imperial Army without any damaging damage in just less than a day? I don't know what to say."

"It's incredible to hear it again. But now let us rejoice that so many people have been saved."

My mother responded to my father's frightened words.

Both words are best, right?

Mr. Akane is a little tearful as to whether he is relieved to hear Yuya is safe.

Somehow this one stimulates the desire for asylum.

I wish I had this kind of cuteness, too, but unfortunately the royalty is not equipped with such a thing. Very unfortunate though.

The next day, I received reports from my older brother that I would march to the capital of the Empire, which was another surprise.

However, if your brother and Yuya saw you as having a chance, you wouldn't have a problem.

However, Mr. Akane will be worried again because Yuya's return will be late.

There are some painful things because I have become aware of my feelings, but nevertheless, from my point of view, Mr. Akane seems very favorable.

I hope you manage to fold into your feelings before Yuya returns and get along better with Akane.
