Legend

When the dust of the explosion near the castle gate is shed by the wind, the knights, who saw the sight and still remained conscious, look wide open.

I thought our colleagues were injured... and they were dead because they were not fatally injured, although they were dusty and dirty.

Instead, the knights of Tiyur's men hold their shields and stand before the knights who are losing their minds.

Seeing the sight in front of me, it was obvious what had happened.

"I saved them... did you?

One knight grumbled with potpourri.

I just whined casually, but that's why when the word returns from the immediate vicinity of the next moment, I stop by surprise.

"It's not like we're going to kill you, is it?

"Dear Vihera!?

When a knight who understands whose voice looks at you reflectively, there is a wizard lying on the ground and the figure of Vihera.

"Absolutely. I know wizards are scarce, but is it still useful to be confused to that extent? It just seems like you're putting your people at risk for nothing, like this one."

"Ha, ha. That… I'm talking about an introduction from a nobleman, and as you can actually see by looking at the magic of today, the magical power itself is quite considerable. We need to make corrections about character."

"Yes. Well, as far as the current one goes, it sounds a lot tough, but good luck with that."

"Thank you"

Until a few minutes ago, interactions with hostile opponents proceeded softly.

With that conversation, Vihella reached out and put her hand over the knight's armor all the time...

"Huh!"

With the voice of temper, it shocks through the body.

"... Huh?

The knight closes his consciousness without understanding what happened...

"It's a diminution to allow too much attention to hostile opponents."

When I hear such words of Vihera, I hear them without, and I am completely unconscious.

"Well, something unexpected happened, and my consciousness must have been too good for you."

Viewing a knight who was losing his mind and falling to the ground, the little squealed Vihera looks around.

Only Himself and Tiyur, and the knights of their men, have already remained conscious in this place.

It would be busier with a larger crowd than it would normally be the entrance to the castle. However, many of the castle's people are heading out there today because the final of the competition is taking place.

Of course there will be some personnel left for when something happens, but I could still say that the security is slower than usual.

"Tiyur, may I assume that this has caught the attention of those of us who are in the castle?

Asking Vihera as she looks at the knights falling to the ground, who are gradually dead - not dead, but just passing out - Tiyur nods as she orders the knights under her command to carry those who are passing out to a place in the shade.

"Right. This is all the noise that's happened, so you'll definitely be aware of it first. That's the same heel that's attracting their attention here."

"Well, let's hope Theorem does well later, shall we be a little more violent?"

"It is indeed a pleasure to see Master Vihella's beautiful battle...... so good?

"One way or the other, you might end up in a state of civil war, so you'd better keep your opponent's power down a little bit."

It could be a civil war. While saying so, Vihera needs to be sneaky to leave the knights who have passed out in this heat, she's just watching, not seeing them moving in the shade or stopping them in particular.

For Vihela, I guess the enemy means the opponent you deserve to fight.

It was Tiyul who decided so, but it is Tiyul who is originally intoxicated by Vihera. Unless it's not something I'm too convinced of, I don't disagree with Vihella's words, and I nod without saying anything in particular.

"Okay. Shall we go then? Where are you headed?

"... yeah, right. I just want to head over to her..."

"Exactly."

How about we go out of our way to teach ourselves the goals, even though we are drawing attention to the remaining forces in Corner Castle? It was Tiyul who told him that with all that meaning in mind, but it was Vihera's bitter smile that returned.

"I do know what Tiyur is after. I can see it's a little bit about her safety.... but even over there, you're not sure what I'm rambling on here is a positive move to get that kid out? Or maybe if Theorem were here instead of Tiyul, it would have been different."

Chirali, and Vihera continues her words with a glimpse containing a grin at Tiyur.

"But that Theorem is now headed for that kid with a different behavior from ours. Then you wouldn't mind if we went to that girl's place while we caught the eyes of the castles, would you?

"... that may indeed be the case. But then there's the risk that Theorem will be more noticed, right?

"I guess. But there's no more defensive force left in the castle today than usual. Then, for one thing, I would have helped that kid out. You think we should join a separate unit, increase our strength, and get out of this place at once?

Tiyul is convinced that there is indeed one.

In a position away from the imperial capital stands the knights and armies of the nobles who, like the Third Prince and themselves, have decided to send forth soldiers in response to the demands of Vihela.

Of course, it would not be as powerful as it could be hostile to all of the Bestian Empire. Sometimes it wasn't that long before the martial arts tournament took place, and there was never much power gathered.

Sometimes there are not so many factions of Vihera to be called even the Second Imperial Party, but it could still be said that the number of forces gathered is very small.

If the Bestian Empire's moveable power was set at 20, would it be less than 1... etc.?

Still, as a Tiyur, I think we've come a long way.

Vihera is the Empress who ran away from the Empire. I guess it manifests the charisma of Vihella that so many people appeared to cooperate with such opponents that if they lost and were caught, there would be no doubt that they would be executed.

(That's what, like me)

Tiyul, who is most distraught by Vihera, groans and eventually nods at Vihera's words.

There's a lot of anxiety, but still, with the power of Vihella... and with myself, it was a decision that I could do whatever was left of my opponent in the castle today.

(It looks like our behavior was read, but I still can't read it until Lady Vihella is here. So, if there is, can I assume that if there was a force in the castle, we wouldn't be able to handle it? No, the fact that an order had been issued to capture me means that I... and Master Vihella has already been judged to be cooperating with Theorem? Alternatively…)

Leaving Tiyul at the spot, who is lost in his heart, Vihera just moves forward.

Heading there is a room in the castle, but also in the back, for the house arrest of those in position.

"Dear Vihella, please wait. Even if you move on..."

"Oh? You think there's someone in this castle right now who can do something about me? Well, if you're here, you'll enjoy that."

While I know my brother's life is at stake, I still hope to fight the mighty, because that is what lies at the core of Vihera at the earliest opportunity.

It is useless to say any more, and at the same time the desire to watch the fighting Vihela nearby, Tiyur leads the knights to follow without saying anything more.

The knights also know the character of Tiyur, who is intoxicated by Vihera. When I smiled small and bitter, I left the spot behind.

Ultimately, what remained near the castle gate was a large number of knights and wizards who passed out.

Moreover, those who had passed out had all been carried into the shade to avoid being hit by the sun as it was in the middle of summer, so there was no doubt that when they woke up, their pride would be broken in many ways.

Vihera continues to make a dignified journey through the castle. Tiyur is wary of whether anyone has a hand against Vihella, even as he moves right behind it.

And the knights smile bitterly at the thoughts of their Lord Tiyur on Vihera as they move behind a line.

"His Royal Highness Vihera?

That's when Vihera's movement stops when she hears such a voice and she was walking at the head of the same thing.

It was a man who looked familiar at the end of his gaze. The man, who was big on the side, weighed well over 100kg and was scratching a ton of sweat on his forehead despite the use of magic items that sent cool air in the castle.

"Aktor, long time no see. I've been scratching a lot of sweat, but why don't you lose some weight? You're not fatter than you were before I left the country?

"Ha. This is harsh. But no matter how thin I try to lose, as long as there's good food, it's gonna be hard."

Vihera smiles bitterly at Aktor, who tells her as she wipes her forehead sweat.

Behind it, Tiyur's expression was slightly distorted.

Tiyul, a lover of art, does not aesthetically prefer a man like Aktor.

Still, I guess I don't have to say it because my worshipping Vihera is still talking about it.

"Nevertheless, it seems like they've come back to the castle again at some point... or is that exciting outfit all kinds of unsavory as a princess?

Aktor to make that word into a costume that the other side could see through, but the expression had a nimmary look that was the exact opposite of the word.

But I'm used to this man's gaze, Vihella. Open your mouth with a small shoulder against such an actress.

"I'm not a princess anymore. You wouldn't mind dressing your way up, would you?

With his shoulders clasped, Aktor continues his words with a grin as his rich double hills are blinded by the sight of Yusari and shaking.

"So why is Vihella here when she left the country? No way, did you feel like coming back or something? If so, Your Majesty the Emperor will take over."

"Unfortunately not.... Well, maybe Actor would know? He says he's under house arrest."

The moment the word house arrest came out of Vihella's mouth, for a moment... yes, for a moment, but surely Actor's gaze sharpened.

Tiyul notices it when he sees it and gives him an unexpected look.

Because in Tiyul, I had the impression that this person named Aktor was a man who would only stick to women and food.

Then, for some reason, it was also incomprehensible that there was a certain popularity from the women and the people who started the maids.

"His Highness Merclio, is it?"

"Yeah. I'm talking about a lot of things that could go wrong, and it's pathetic to keep them locked up forever, isn't it? So I was just gonna get you out there and put you up."

Aktor sighs at this sight to the words that squeal as if they were nothing.

Tiyur, who was watching it, catches a fish, but he turns his gaze to Vihera just because it has nothing to do with that.

However, its gaze was sharper than it had been a few seconds before… it was releasing the force to exert pressure on the person in front of it just by looking.

Yes, it is so powerful that I don't think of it as a prodigal nobleman who is indulging in gastronomy with very beautiful women.

"The fact that Viscount Boogle is here... I mean, is that what you mean?

"Right. That's what I'm saying."

A terminal exchange of words, but that was more than enough for each other to understand it.

"If you do poorly, it could be a civil war?

"It wouldn't have been like that if I hadn't imitated him for his life."

"Even if that's what His Majesty the Emperor sees?

"Yeah. I do know what your father thinks. But that's why I can't overlook the imitation of my brother being killed for splitting blood. Besides, I'm not interested in the throne myself, but you wouldn't mind working with her if she wanted it, would you?

Vihera today, who tells her fortitude, was undoubtedly full of elegance as an imperial family.

Paired with the mismatch of the outfit, it leaves a powerful impression on the actress as oddly as possible.

But Aktor opens his mouth by forcefully severing the consciousness that had drawn him to such a vihela.

"Really, I'm very sorry. I'll pull back here. Whatever, as you can see, I'm not a good athlete. But... the next time we meet, it could be a battlefield."

That's what I told him, and Aktor, who greets him with respect and wipes his forehead sweat, leaves.

With a glimpse of the hindsight, Vihera laughed contentedly and dropped off her back.
