Legend

In Ray's room at the Golden Wind Pavilion, Ray unwittingly tilts his neck and opens his mouth to the word Rescue of the Third Prince Merclio, who came out of the mouth of Theorem with his flashing alias.

"Rescue? I mean, the purpose is to help you be captured for some reason"

To such Ray's words, Theorem nods with a cold gaze.

"That's right. It just doesn't mean they're captured for sin, to be exact."

"I guess so. He's not the kind of kid who does stupid things. … but I wonder why that happened while you were on"

Even for Vihera, I guess she didn't imagine that her brother, Merclio, had been caught.

There is a slight upset in those eyes.

Alternatively, there would have been no problem if we had done a good job exchanging information with Theorem before we met with Ray, but Theorem came to where Vihera was waiting for Ray at the Golden Wind Pavilion in the first place, and Ray and Elaine returned shortly after that. Not very much, but I didn't have time to exchange information.

Theorem's gaze is directed toward Ray for such Vihera's words, opening his mouth.

"Deep Red, the man's behavior created the status quo that His Royal Highness Merclio would be shut down."

To Theorem's words, Vihella's gaze was unexpectedly directed at Ray… nodding as she was immediately convinced.

"... yes, I see. You've been taken responsibility for the spring war."

"Yes. The original responsibility for the defeat should have been directed at General Castom and, in extension, the Second Prince. But as a result of the court work done by the others, I was held fully responsible by the Third Prince, and the result was to His Royal Highness Merclio... I also struck the countermeasures, but I couldn't reach them."

"The result is claustrophobic,"

"... yes"

To Ray's words, Theorem affirms as he bites his back teeth.

"Regardless of my brother's improvement, what about my sister?

Out of Vihera's mouth came the 1st Empress, who is also her own belly sister.

Unlike Vihela, he is close to helpless in terms of force, but instead he has lost his head and has, many times before, advanced national policies beneficial to the Bestian Empire.

She is a sister with a soft look and a sober personality.

The background proves that kindness is not the only thing.

It is only with the cooperation of the First Empress that the Warcraft soldiers that Theorem has placed under his command.

It can also be described as an ironic consequence because, on that edge, a connection was made between Merclio and the First Imperial Princess, and as a result the war against the Kingdom of Mireana was triggered and held responsible for its defeat.

"Even as His Highness Frizione, we are now in a situation where we cannot move"

Theoreme shakes his neck to the side in a small way, with a sinking look in his eyes.

If Frizione, the first princess, could have helped, she would not have secretly come with a large number of people to ask for help under the Vihera she had been investigating with money.

Even in Theorem, the presence of Vihela, who could be described as a thousand horsemen, could have been the backhand in making Merclio an emperor.

"... so what do you want me to do? I don't mind the annoying rhetoric, just tell me what I need to do."

Theorem, having heard the word, takes his gaze off Vihera and turns toward Ray before uttering the word.

"Dear Vihella, please let me know before that. Dear Vihella and Deep Red...... No, what does it have to do with Ray?

Vihera opens her mouth as she dyes her thin cheeks red for a single, direct inquiry in a different direction than expected.

"Well... someone who likes me"

Elaine's cheek moves slightly pickly on that word, but does Vihella not notice it, or does she leave it as it is, even if she does? Either way, encourage Teolame to get ahead of the conversation.

"Really? Isn't it true that we still have lovers?

"Of course."

The immediate affirmation was that Elaine was listening in silence next to Ray.

I didn't mean to say anything about the house situation of the Bestian Empire if it was meant to be, but I can't help but say something if Vihera is perceived as Ray's lover.

"... you seem to be liked by a lot of fascinating people"

Even so, Theorem's gaze has a faint color of sympathy.

Make it Elaine. Make it Vihera, who certainly has the beauty that no one would be able to complain about when they both say she's an extinct beauty.

But at the same time, he made himself a courtier of the Duke of Keller, a central figure of the aristocracy with a second force in the kingdom of Mireana, a figure whose alias General Princess is known to the surrounding countries, and the other a long-standing foe with this kingdom of Mireana, a royal family of hostile nations that had just fought war in the spring, an unparalleled battle fanatic.

Both were too habitual figures, back-to-back with their beauty.

But Ray flaunts his shoulders small in such Theorem words, even grinning at his mouth and opening his mouth.

"As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with that. … more than that, let's move on."

"Um, right. The story itself is not that difficult. Those of us now known as the Third Prince are trying, as I said, to rescue His Highness Merclio, who is currently locked away."

When Theorem tells him that much, Ray pinches his mouth there.

"Right there. Why do we have to move here? I do say Merclio or something..."

"His Highness Merclio."

"I'm not from the Bestian Empire. I'm a person in the Kingdom of Mireana hostile to that Bestian Empire in one way or another...... well, fine. It's a waste of time if we're any further out of line."

Exhale in a small sigh, and Ray goes on to say if he is satisfied with it for now.

"The fact that His Highness Merclio is in seclusion will certainly not be interesting to you. But is that why you need to force things to happen?

"Right. Surely it would be if it were normal. But according to the information we have, there are people who are moving to make His Highness Merclio obsolete even at the end of this year. It would have endured just claustrophobia, or even me if I had been cautious. But if it's obsolete, you can't just shut up and overlook it."

Teolame opens his mouth as he tells it that far and turns his gaze toward Vihera so hard to say, but nevertheless has to say.

"... it would be even more so if the matter of its abolition were to be either His Royal Highness Kabazid or His Highness Schuls, the brother of His Highness Merclio... And it's moving the tissue behind it."

"Wait, Theorem. Is that a fact? Definitely?"

It was Vihera, not Ray or Elaine, who raised her voice unexpectedly that two names came up.

"Are you such a surprise to me?

That's how he asks Ray, Vihera takes a sip or two of fruit water so she can calm herself down before she starts talking.

"Theorem calls you His Highness, so you'd probably have predictions, wouldn't you? First prince and second prince."

"... I see"

Ray gives a convincing look at Vihera's explanation, like, unexpectedly.

If it is a power struggle between the royal families, it is true that there are also those in the body...... no, I wonder if some people go into atrocious actions that they do not condone because they are in the body.

"I knew my life would be in danger if I didn't help His Highness Merclio, who is locked away. And the fact that we need the help of Vihera, or that I'm the cause of it.... so what makes you bother to ask me that? It's a serious matter so far, I just said it 'cause I want you to hear it, and you don't normally talk about it, do you? It's also where Elaine, the nobleman of the kingdom of Mireana, is."

Normally, no matter how much Ray says he wants to hear about the situation, he won't go into so much detail.

But Theorem, sitting in front of Ray, said it.

Above and beyond that, it was definitely inevitable that there was some reason.

I guess that's also passed on to Theorem. He nods small and opens his teasing mouth with his gaze only towards Vihera for a moment.

"The Third Prince is, clearly, a small force.... right, it would be easy to understand when you say it feels like a neutralist in the Kingdom of Mireana. Yes, we need some kind of concealed ball to rescue His Highness Merclio, who is locked away. It would also be convenient if it were a large concealed ball that could not be done at all. Besides, it would be best if they made us think that we were not in a cooperative relationship."

If you say so much, I know exactly what Theorem is trying to say to Ray, too.

who is a huge concealed sphere and has no cooperative relationship with the Third Prince… more precisely Theorem.

He said he was showing himself.

"If it was meant to be, I came all the way to Egzil to ask Master Vihella to assume the role. But it was you there, Ray."

"... and he said I was more convenient"

Teolame snorts silently at a frightened inquiry.

"Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to stick my neck in every rub in another country..."

To Ray, who told him so, Vihera puts the cup of fruit water she had on the table and bows her head deeply.

Vihera opens her mouth with her head down to Ray, who watched as purple hair fades away according to gravity.

"Regardless of who I am, Merclio is a pretty little brother to me. To help... I need your help. Naturally, I will cooperate in this matter. But I stand out a lot. Only the former royal family, and many nobles know my face if I go to the Imperial City."

Ray nods that it would be to the words of Vihera, who raises her head and groans worryingly as she was lowering.

Even in the kingdom of Mireana it is no less beautiful than Elaine, who has the alias of General Princess, and although its strength does not extend to Elaine, who inherited the demonic stone of the Enchanted Dragon, it has a breaking strength if you think of it as a normal human being.

On top of that, it is in the position of royalty, so there was no reason to be inconspicuous.

After the words of Vihera, continue the words as Theorem adds.

"Let me add, you are an adventurer. Unlike the Duke of Keller, there is no such thing as a human being in the kingdom of Mireana. So, if there is, I don't think it's a problem to take a job in the Bestian Empire."

"It's huge."

It was Elaine who pinched the words sharply.

Turn your sight as sharp as words to Theorem.

"Surely Ray is an adventurer. That's for sure. But he's killed a lot of Vestian Imperial Army in the Spring War. If that's the case, Ray will undoubtedly be attacked by a man of resentment if he enters the Bestian Empire. As far as you're concerned, it might be a good idea to divert the attention of those who keep their own masters in seclusion."

"... to be honest, no one who participated in the war hangs a little against Ray. Ning Lo, if you see him, you will escape immediately."

"If you're out on the battlefield and know directly what Ray is capable of, so be it. But other than that... if that's what you know about survivors and the dead, isn't hate better than fear?

So once she stopped the words, Elaine continues the words with her sharp gaze at Theorem again.

"Besides, Ray today is essentially seen in the wind of the Larks Border Uncle's greatest force in the kingdom of Mireana. If such a ray went out to the Bestian Empire, it would undoubtedly annoy Lord Dusker."

Tell me that much, isn't Elaine? and ask silently with his gaze from Theorem to Ray.

Ray was lost for a moment in that inquiry, but it was also true that it was hard to say no given the gratitude he received from Dusker.

"If Ray is really going to cooperate with Vihera and Theorem to rescue His Highness Merclio, you should at least report that to Lord Dusker before you do so. There is no harm in the cooperation of a neutral being."

"... Huh?

Unexpectedly, Ray speaks that way like he said.

It was a loose voice somewhere, but Elaine takes it and keeps saying it like it's been spooked somewhere.

"What? You thought I might disagree? Well, I do disagree if I say yes or no, but Ray wouldn't stop, would he?

To that inquiry, Ray nods silently.

For Ray, Vihera is a new bond made out of Exil. I understand the feelings from the other side, and I have to cloud my words if I can answer that, but it was true that I still have a crush on Vihera as Ray himself.

"And not just as a private person. Even for me as a nobleman, the Vestian Empire is to be welcomed."

"... thanks, Elaine"

"Thank you"

Vihera and Theorem, two words of gratitude echo through the room.
