Kuro no Senki (LN)

Kurono and the others climb the stairs.

It's a spiral staircase built inside the main tower.

Is it because the same sight persists forever?

I feel sick.

"It's a long staircase. I'm sick and tired of watching."

Chrono blurred and Tilia, who was leading the way, stopped.

Kurono and the others also stopped.

She looked over her shoulder.

I have a stunning look on my face.

"Can I help you?"

"Chrono, don't talk like that until you've climbed up."

"A terrible word to me who has just regained consciousness."

Chrono put his strength into Tiger's neck.

I wanted to walk by myself, but I was unconscious for three days.

It's lazy, hot and painful everywhere.

You can't climb the spiral stairs alone.

"Even your men are tired....."

The awkward are not fine.

Gu, Tilia moans and starts climbing the spiral stairs again.

After a while, I saw the door.

It's a thick door.

Before that, Johnny is sitting.

It must be cold.

I'm wearing a blanket.

"Good work, Johnny."

"─!"

Chrono shouted, and Johnny stood up momentum.

Look at me and open your eyes to surprise.

My eyes are moist.

That alone shows how worried I was.

I feel sorry for what I needed to win.

"Aniki, you've regained consciousness!?"

I was worried about you.

"Aniki just regained consciousness enough."

Johnny wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

Open the door.

"Mr...."

Johnny exhaled small and turned to Tilia.

He squeezed the blanket tightly and looked at it with resentment.

At the very least, I want words of hard work.

If I speak for the voice of my heart, is that the place?

Have you noticed the silent appeal?

Oh, and Tilia shouted.

"Thank you."

"I wanted you to say it sooner."

Gnngh!

Johnny blurred and Tilia moaned.

"I'm sorry I didn't feel so good..."

"Open the door."

Faster than Tilia could say, Johnny turned his back.

Grrr, Tilia moans again.

Looks like the timing is bad.

The door opens with a loud sound.

"Come on, go ahead."

You go first.

"Why is that?"

Johnny said with a decent face.

"For the time of need."

"I think it's okay, but...."

Just go.

Copy that, Griss.

When Tilia gave the order, Johnny slipped through the door feeling reluctant.

Kurono and the others followed.

Tiga carries him inside and lightly opens his eyes.

I remember hearing that the main tower room could be used to enclose noble people.

I imagined it as a prison, but it was a decent room.

Minimum amount of furniture and sunshine.

The man of interest, Prime Minister Arkol, was at the table.

"This is Princess Tilia.May I help you? "

"Hmm, it's white. You'll see."

When Prime Minister Alcol whispered, Tilia snorted uncomfortably.

Is it natural that he is the one who caused the loss of the right to inherit the throne?

"I have defeated Alfort and taken back the throne."

"Congratulations. Father, Your Majesty will be delighted."

"You!"

"Stop!"

Tilia became violent and Krono raised his voice.

Coughs slightly.

I can't get over my cough.

Johnny rubbed me around the back.

It makes me feel a little easier.

Aniki, are you okay?

"Johnny, I'm always sorry."

"I can't thank you enough from my brother's brother-in-law."

Johnny was good at inflating his nose.

"I know how you feel, but calm down."

But!

Calm down.

"... gu, okay."

When Chrono was embarrassed, Tilia moaned and pulled.

Huh, as Prime Minister Alcol was impressed, he took a breath.

"Don't imitate Prime Minister Alcol as provocative.We've lost a lot of men because you took the throne from Tilia.Among them is my lover, Count Rio Cairo. "

"Well, I'm sorry."

Prime Minister Alcol had his head hanging.

I don't know if it's true, but it must be an apology.

So, what can I do for you?

Chrono, I'll explain.

"Okay."

Chrono exhaled small.

I'm not sure I can stay calm.

But I'm sure it's still a better response than Tilia.

"We succeeded in killing Alfort and taking the Imperial Capital."

"What do you want me to do?"

"The Empire is in a state of chaos. Help me to heal the mess."

Answer Prime Minister Alcor's question.

This is Chrono's idea.

More than thirty years ago, Prime Minister Alcor rebuilt an empire that had been disrupted by civil unrest.

I thought we should leave it to the experienced rather than try and make mistakes ourselves.

What if I refuse?

"Just die."

Kurono answered immediately.

The Empire is in disarray because Prime Minister Alcor has taken charge of Alfort.

If you are not willing to cooperate, you will only be held accountable.

"Okay, I don't want to die either."

Really?

Johnny turns a strange gaze.

Then Prime Minister Alcol smiled bitterly.

"Let's repeat: if I say die, I will die, but if I say work to rebuild my empire, I will work to die."

"It's irresponsible to think it's either way."

"Irresponsible?"

Johnny shouted, and Prime Minister Alcol murmured.

"If you knew how many people died because of you, you wouldn't get that kind of dialogue.I want you to look a little bad. "

Well, no, it's irresponsible.

There must have been something in Johnny's words.

Prime Minister Alcol murmured with self-ridicule and corrected his residence.

And then you droop deeply.

"I will do my best for the Empire."

"You won't fall for me again, will you?"

"Hey, Tyria."

"Verification is important."

Chrono reached out and tapped both arms.

But Tilia didn't get along.

Look at Prime Minister Alcol and question him.

What do you think?

"I can't promise you."

"What!?"

Tilia roughed up her voice.

It's not impossible.

They say they will betray you in some circumstances.

You will feel anger, not hers.

"Johnny, cut your neck."

Aniki, is that good?

Johnny checks with Chrono.

"Whose side are you on!?"

"Whoever it is, it's my brother's ally.It's settled. "

"Gh......"

Johnny took it for granted and Tilia moaned.

"Prime Minister Alcol, I need to ask you something....."

"If there's anything I can tell you, I'll tell you."

"Why did you betray Tilia?That, well, Tilia isn't enough - "

"Don't say it's not enough!"

Tilia intercepted Chrono's words.

Exhale small.

Nevertheless, I know how it feels.

Speaking of immaturity by yourself is different from being pointed out to others.

"There was an unfamiliar place, but with your support, I would have become a fine empress."

"... Princess Astoria."

Prime Minister Alcol replied in between.

Was it a topic you didn't want me to touch?

She has a bitter, crushed face.

Of course, I can't take into account his mood.

Many sacrifices were made.

I'm troubled if you don't tell me that you don't want to remember.

"Tell me why."

"She wanted to completely eliminate the influence of Princess Astralia."

"There's no influence. There's no influence on your mother."

"She was the one who started the rebellion over 30 years ago."

"─!"

Tilia took a breath as Prime Minister Alcol moaned.

You didn't even think it was your mother.

"Do you have proof?"

"His Majesty the Emperor was about to cede the throne to his brother... Alfort.But Princess Astralia didn't admit it.Suddenly, I was complaining.They didn't stop it.Somewhere in her heart, she must have been sympathetic. "

I mean, what can you call evidence?

"Nothing"

When Krono asked, Prime Minister Alcol said it was clear.

"Is that what got you into me!?"

"That's not true! I don't know how far the Queen Astralia was involved!But civil unrest broke out and Lord Alfort was executed!In front of His Majesty!Do you know how it feels to be shown that the Emperor is going to break?Even though I can't forgive you just for that.... "

Prime Minister Alcol told him to roll up and bite his lips.

Is it because you put too much effort into it?

The fist is white.

Chrono felt a deep sympathy.

I wonder if Prime Minister Alcor had any respect for Ramal V.

You can say that you like it.

The opponent was destroyed.

That's why I couldn't stay out of it.

Chrono turned to Tilia.

She has no expression.

I don't say my face is pale, but my complexion is not good.

"Your mother must have hated you."

What will you do?

"I acknowledged Lord Claude's visit with his mother as a reward for his cooperation."

"─!"

Prime Minister Alcol opens his eyes to surprise.

"I also know the connection between Lord Claude and his mother.I hope it ends with just a visit..... "

Tilia clasped her arms in silence.

Exhale deeply.

"If you can't forgive me for just ending up in a visit, I'm listening."

Are you sure you don't mind?

"We need Alcor's strength to rebuild our empire."

Johnny shouted softly, but Tilia replied calmly.

"Yes, but...."

"Speaking of which, my mother sowed it.You have to take responsibility for yourself. "

Tilia said with a low push.

It seems like you're telling yourself that there's no other way.

Chrono put his strength into his arm.

I raised my ideals and sacrificed.

It is no longer just an ideal of beauty.

It is sprayed with blood.

Will we reach a future worthy of sacrifice?

And I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice someone.

Still, you can't stop.

We have to move on.

This is it, okay?

"I understand. I will spend all my money and I will definitely rebuild my empire."

As Tilia turned her gaze, Prime Minister Alcol drooped deeply.

Quickly, but what do we do now?

"Well, first of all..."

When Tilia asked, Prime Minister Alcol started talking about what to do.
