Legend

The story of Deep Red's appearance at the Martial Arts Games instantly spread throughout the Empire.

Then naturally those who have a grudge against Ray in the spring war, or forces who are not happy with the emergence of a new adventurer with an alias in the kingdom of Mireana, which is also a long-standing hostile country, begin their activities.

With Ray showing up in public, the story also spreads that the information that has been flowing so far - the muscular big man - was wrong.

A lot of people saw Ray directly in the arena, so that information spread quickly.

Especially with the effect that Ray's own face is a woman's face with a delicate impression, fewer women had come to watch the martial arts tournament, or less, but preferred Ray to a man, and as a result it quickly spreads to see what a person called Deep Red is.

In that case, it would not be difficult to obtain information even if it were naturally intelligence agents from other countries present in the imperial capital, or disturbed elements inside the empire… it was the same even if it was a group called the Third Prince, who was under house arrest of his own master.

"Oh, Ray's been flashy for a long time. I can't believe you've heard so much information already."

It was Vihera who laughed gladly when she heard that information.

There is also a relationship of popularity and strength within the Empire, and he is now a figure on the banner of the Third Prince.

As Vihela herself, I did not intend to be the flag of my brother's faction, but I could not refuse to be demanded by Theorem and even by Tiyur, my own zealous follower.

Tiyul, in particular, has used his own handouts to gather a lot of information since joining the Third Prince faction, and has succeeded in neutralizing those who do not yet belong to any faction, or to the faction, but who are capable, but who are flaunted above, by their good tongues, or who are forced to belong to the Third Prince faction, and consequently weaken the fighting power of other factions in some ways.

It's all because of my beloved Vihera. If I tried to be Tiyul, who was working with that thought, I would have had to lean my neck on why Vihera was happy with the information that came in.

"Theorem, how about that delight of Lady Vihella..."

Theorem, pointing at Tiyur's gaze and stuck in words for a moment.

But you should keep the situation hidden and avoid eventual confusion. Decide so and open your mouth.

"Lady Ray and Vihella, with their deep red aliases, met in the labyrinth city of Exil, in the Kingdom of Mireana. I guess there were a lot of things going on at that time, but eventually we really fought each other...... you know Tiyul too? Vihella wants someone stronger than herself."

"That, of course. But it's only about strength, and you look so happy..."

No way. Such an unpleasant hunch was Tiyul past his chest, but unfortunately the unpleasant hunch hit no further.

"That's right. As Tiyur predicted, Ray, who fights more than he and each other, has grown in the presence of Vihella."

"... ho"

The worst anticipation hit me, Tiyur whining briefly all the time.

The voice was low, something I had to teolame and have a bad feeling about.

"Tiyul, if something strange happened to Ray, I don't know what kind of behavior Vihella would take."

Until the spring war, I jeopardized the out-of-standard existence of Ray, a word I don't think belonged to Theorem that I had managed to leap out of.

But I guess that's natural too. Until last year, Ray and Vihera had absolutely no connection.

But not now. A solid connection has been made between Ray and Vihella. That too, in the form of a stronger preference for Ray on the one hand or the other.

What would happen if my men put their hands on Ray in that state? If you do poorly, even the end of the destruction of the Third Prince is past the back of your brain.

If you're going to fight and lose, yet, internal collapse in the Gotagota of romantic relationships. I definitely wanted to avoid such an end, even for Theorem.

"I see, maybe that's true. But... let's just say we meet him in person once and then we decide."

"... as far as I'm concerned, I don't really recommend it"

The presence of Ray has a strong personality, for better or worse. Or you could call me strong.

Thus, a person who fits can have a very friendly relationship, but a person who doesn't even fit makes him feel disgusted.

And it was Theorem's expectation that Tiyul would probably not fit.

Only Tiyul, who is originally in love with the human size of Vihera, said that Ray's attitude towards that Vihera would be unforgivable first.

(I hope it won't be a hassle...... I guess I can't do it first. Does the salvation at least mean that joining Ray will be an event after this rescue operation? You don't have to commit the foolishness of fighting within your peers when you're busy)

Tiyul has considerable strength as well, as if in line with Vihera's preference to naturally seek strength, just because he is intoxicated with Vihera.

That is strength beyond the reach of such things as adventurers and knights around there, and if you fight Ray only against such a person, the damage around you will undoubtedly be terrible.

"... when that happens, I see. So... no, but. Oh, if you go with that flow..."

Is the content of what you are whining about, of your activities as a third prince, or is it something to do with Ray? It was a teolame that was subtly scary and unheard of.

But a voice can be heard against Theorem as if to erase such inner troubles.

"Excuse me, Master Theorem. Baron Zeotter wants to act together on this one. In this letter for more information."

Theorem frowned slightly when he received a report and a letter from the soldiers of the decree.

"Baron Zeotter? He must have been the 1st Imperial. That's why we're here."

While whining, I confirm the seal of the letter, but what is there is certainly the seal of the family crest of the Baron Zeotter family.

Even as he gets lost for a moment, Theorem heads under Vihera, who is looking in a good mood after hearing Ray's report a little further away.

"Dear Vihella, this is a letter from Baron Zeotter. He wants to act with us..."

To that appearance of clouding and whining his verbal butt, Vihera, who received the letter, thinks for a moment and immediately remembers.

"Certainly from your sister's faction, right?

"Yes, and I was wondering if it was weird that you wanted to act with us. It's probably because we have Vihera, but then there are other problems."

"What's the other problem... what is it?

"It is abundantly possible that we are trying to harm Master Vihella on this occasion"

"Could my sister do such a stupid imitation? Oh, it's not that you adored me or anything like that. If you imitate me in this situation and I fail, I will certainly turn to my sister's enemies. Do you think my sister, who knows my powers, would imitate that?

To the words out of Vihella's mouth, Theorem nods back after thinking for a few seconds.

"Surely you don't think that would be such a riskier measure. So, for what reason do you think he sent Baron Zeotter?

"Well, surprisingly, my sister is also purely trying to do something about her."

"... yes, is it?

Even in the words of Vihera, my real sister... no, I can't believe it because she is my real sister.

Theorem clouds his words with such thoughts.

In fact, the 1st Empress is famous for her softness. But a being who values such kindness builds his own faction and sticks his neck in a dispute over the right to inherit the throne? If asked, I also have to lean my neck as a theolame.

Viewing the unconvincing Teolame, Vihera opens her mouth with a funny grin.

"Sure, my sister's a lot of people, but it's not like she's ruthless, is it? Basically, you can call me a bona fide person. I think that's why you're helping us out by deciding it's too much on this one."

"… then you can help us directly without this kind of far-fetched imitation?

With Vihella talking, I guess I decided to leave it at first when it comes to Ray. That's what Tiyur asks.

"Right. Sure, you would normally think so, but it's also true that my sister is seriously after the Emperor's status. I suppose the reason for this is the thought that it would be a bloody feud between brothers."

"But as it turns out, triplets... no, they've turned into four bars when they put us together"

"Given my brother's desire for improved power, you think that's a good idea. I'm probably trying to calm it down somehow in the best way. That's what I think."

To the words of Vihera, Theorem and Tiyur think respectively.

In the case of Theorem, it must be known that their aim is the rescue of a third prince who is under house arrest. When I found out about it, I felt cold for a moment, but I would reconsider that it would be convenient for Ning Luo if you could help me.

(But... why would you help us if we messed up the Imperial City?

Is not our deed above the palm of the 1st Empress from the side? That thought comes to mind, but soon it is anointed by another emotion. In other words, what if it's something like that?

It is true that our actions may now be on the palm of the 1st Empress. But it is only the third prince who decides he deserves the emperor and swears allegiance.

Not the first prince, not the second prince, and not the first princess.

If what we do is an event on the palm of our hand, we just need to get out of it.

If there's a trap, you just have to eat a thousand slices.

Still, if anyone tries to disturb him, he shall eat a thousand slices of the throat of the owner of his palm.

I noticed myself thinking that way, and Theorem smiled heartily.

(Whatever you say, maybe I'm heavily influenced by Ray too)

Around associating Ray at the point where he manages the trap by force, I guess Ray is still such an image in Theorem.

Most of all, it is never more than the fact that Ray has forcefully broken the trap he has actually set many times before.

Viewing such a view of Theorem, Vihera taps her hand to draw the attention of Theorem and Tiyur, who are on this spot.

"Now, whatever you do, it's true that you're going to need your strength first. When things happen, people like Ray and Larks, who are in Imperial Capital, are supposed to work together, but I don't know if it's a good idea to start with that."

"Right. Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I can't say anything about you because I don't know anyone named Deep Red. But it's also true that it's all kinds of diplomatically unpleasant to work with other people."

"... Indeed"

The story came to a close with the conclusion that Theorem would nod in agreement with Tiyur's words and increase his power in case of need.

"But just increasing your power might also make you an elephant. Training needs to be done, right?

"I'll take care of that area. … and in terms of the power of the war, we may be able to bring in some Warcraft soldiers here"

"Heh. If you think there's no cyans, that's what you mean?

Tiyul also nods convincingly again at the words of Vihera, who was wondering about the absence of Ciance, Teolame's deputy.

"You certainly didn't see her the last few days. But I heard that Warcraft soldiers are currently under strict surveillance, right?

"... Fortunately, there are a lot of people who favor me. I've been in contact from the other side. Trouble."

I guess I'm never happy, even with what I say.

There was an unmistakable grin in Theorem's mouth.

"Warcraft soldier, according to what I've heard, a lot of people are crude... I guess you're okay around there, huh?

There was no reason to worry about Tiyul, given that the majority of those considered to be the vegetarians of the Warcraft were criminals.

It may be a powerful force, but it is not something that could have been ravaged internally.

Theorem nods back to Tiyur with such a fear.

"Even for me, I'm also considering the possibility of an attack on this one. If anything happens, let me finish it with this hand."
