Night Conversation [2]
"- There are several reasons, but the primary reason was to survive Ishtarika... I think so"
"... does that mean a united state Ishtarika?
When Silvard asks, Beria shakes her neck to the side.
"A country called Ishtarika. Now we call ourselves a united nation, but this origins date back to the first king, Archet, to whom Marc attached the utmost importance."
"To give you an example, Master Marc has never once been named the First King. That's because those around us called it the First Unified King.... Don't you remember that, Mr. Ein?
"Maybe about the headstone letters?
In the cemetery of Demon King's Castle was carved "Second King Ishtarika".
I thought he couldn't give up, but as Berea said, I guess he meant to.
"It's the left. Master Marc feared, above all, that there would be no more country called Ishtarika, and was desperate to avoid it. So we thought it would cause extra confusion, and we hid what we came from."
At the time of reunification, it was definitely built on a lot of relationships compared to now.
In addition, based on the fact that there was a demon king disturbance, if we make that public, the united nation may be lightly disintegrated.
Ein and Silvado thought about it.
"- Then it's Berea. I mean, you lords think about the feelings of your first sire, and you say you've been hiding it...?
In the light of Ishtarika's culture, can we say that if they say this, there is no culpability, but rather that it was the right thing to do?
It was in the middle of an explanation, but when Ein thought of such a culture, he softened his mind.
"Yes. Naturally, there are also reasons for that. - But there are other reasons why we can't talk about it anymore."
"Can I ask you something?
"... Yes. Absolutely."
Belia takes a deep breath repeatedly as she lays her hands on Silvard's words as she prays in front of her chest.
"We Red Foxes have other traits that can be used besides deceiving people… but that can change their appearance, as if they were reborn. I don't know what our lifespan is, but this ability was more convenient than worrying about lifespan… and more useful to me and Warren than anything else."
"I knew - that's what I was capable of."
Smudge and Ain snort.
"Why was it useful? Because for me and Warren it was the best force to keep serving Ishtarika"
When Beria says so, she gazes at the flag that was decorated in the room.
"Since serving Ishtarika, the united nation, the first king, Marc, me and Warren have come to the reign of His Majesty Silvard… over the centuries, dedicated to this self. Sometimes I got a title. I never had a child with Warren, but I was adopted and lived like a family."
"… Now, historical titles hold information strictly. However, since the system had not been in place for 200 years, there was also a lack of information. - What kind of nobility was he?
When you look nostalgic, Beria speaks with a voice full of motherhood.
"It's been generations now, and we can't be connected by blood. But still, do you mind?
"I don't mind. Tell me."
"Yeah, I understand. Even so, it is a well-groomed, ordinary baron house. It's an old, and commonplace, title, so it's not even on the record. … but I was able to relate to the aristocracy that still persists"
"... with the nobility that still continues?
"Yep. - It was my daughter who was adopted, because she was so righteous (...) bound to one knight and became a martial arts fame that still lasts."
"- Beh, Mr. Beria? No way..."
Belia, who giggles dull, never made any clearer than that, but her words were enough information to investigate the situation.
"Well, let's get back to it. Using that ability, me and Warren came constantly to serve, sometimes out on the table… and sometimes throwing advice from behind. But we didn't understand the price for the weakness of that ability."
When Beria gets back to business, she opens her mouth with regret.
"It's like we're going to lose ourselves… it's forced to make us feel new"
Then, when I hear that explanation, Ein and Silvard think about it in a way that doesn't make sense.
What the hell does that mean, the two of them waited for Berea's next word.
"Perhaps the meaning of rebirth...... was closer. My mother's... unlike the curse of a length, it's more like falling zero with nature than memory kills. That's how it feels."
"But I can't deny that some nanicas resembled obsessive-compulsive ideas. - Forget about the past. I didn't say that, I suppressed us."
"... transform. Or something like that."
I wondered if Ain't meant to be transformed if I only asked about his abilities, and I'm surprised that the content is completely different.
Now I was surprised if it was really close to rebirth.
"It was already too late when I realized that. I should have kept many things in my hand and kept my memory. I have not regretted it that way either once or twice. Just to give you an example, we can't remember the faces of the Arshes anymore."
When I look at my saddest face today, I squeeze my mouth softly.
"And in the meantime, Master Katima got the book of Master Wilfried, and Master Christina translated it. Me and Warren got lost. Should I still tell His Majesty that I have kept my mouth shut..."
- But I didn't.
"Maybe it's irresponsible. Maybe he lacked loyalty....... but we couldn't be more powerful than Master Wilfried's book. So we have decided to keep our promise to Master Marc. I was told that Marc was in danger, and I decided to push it into my chest."
... From Ain, I still can't deny the part that feels irresponsible.
It is also true that I wanted some information, even though it was because I kept my promise to the First King.
There are few feelings left like hostility toward Beria anymore, but you can't ignore feelings like there's a hole in your chest.
"- Then why did you send Chris to sea dragon time?"
At least, you two haven't forgotten about Wernstein.
Ein opens his mouth to inquire about it.
"... it 's-"
"Ain't. That's wrong to blame."
Then Silverado pinches his mouth like covering the berea.
"Different gate?"
"Mm-hmm. Whatever the content, I'm left with the final clearance. And in the meeting up until then, all the nobles who favored sending Chris are responsible"
"Oh, but -!"
"Hmmm...... ein. Ain't never been more emotional today. I know what you're trying to say. But without information about drawing royal blood, Chris is just one knight. I have a position, but it doesn't make any difference to have command under one of the Lloyds. Besides, Warren wasn't in favor of Chris' dispatch at the time."
Ain't got the momentum to get up out of the chair the first time I hear it.
"No... I've never heard of it!
"That would be so. I didn't get a chance to talk about the meeting. Besides, Ain moved like a rampage at the time, and ended up powerless Lloyd and headed to Magna."
"Huh..."
"Warren's plan was to use it as a shield and send a royal ship. The idea is to ignore all fleet damage and protect the lives of Chris and the knights... But that leads to the loss of Ishtarika's maritime power for the next few decades. Many nobles were afraid of it and never agreed with Warren."
Ein is puzzled that even if he says so.
I thought Warren was trying to protect Chris.
"I thought it was an unrealistic proposal for Warren, but I see... I guess that's what happened"
I couldn't protect her enough, but I'm just trying to prevent her from heading to the dead.
No matter how many prime ministers, not all words take precedence. Especially if it deserved a national disaster like a sea dragon.
"- Your Majesty. I'm sorry. The truth is, I wanted to tell you all about meeting the Marcs. But I don't seem to remember enough to talk about it.... Fortunately, Warren hasn't lost those memories yet. You may detain us both. So could you please wait for Warren to wake up before we shake it off?"
Rising berea bows her head deeply.
As a matter of fact, there are still many places where I want an explanation, but if I believe her words, I guess she will lack the strength.
I mean, as the word goes, we have to wait for Warren to regain consciousness.
Ein figured out what was going on, but replied that Silvard figured it out.
"It is true that there is still not enough information to believe everything. If so, I can't be completely free to do it."
"... you're right"
"I offer to stay in Warren's room. You're gonna keep an eye on him, but you don't mind?
It could have been an exceptional response given the content.
Nevertheless, Silvard was unable to make any further decisions against those who had always devoted themselves to Ishtarika.
- Thank you for your generous words.
Then, Berea shed a drop of large tears.
"... but it may remain ambiguous, but can't we hear a little more?
"Uh, yeah. I will naturally speak to you if you wish…. But there was also the possibility that the story could become inconsistent and disjointed...... If you change the way you say it, it could be a line of words -"
"Ha... I see. You know what?"
If I heard that, Silvard felt like I was going to be unnecessarily confused.
Sigh and say the next word.
"I know the phase. Let's just say if that prank grandpa wakes up, we'll ask him in person."
When Silvard spoke as if to make a joke, Ain felt the tension he'd been under eased.
"I'm so sorry. If I could, I would have told you a lot about my journey to reunify the continent with Marc."
- Yeah, what's that? I really want to hear it.
It was a strong and intriguing statement, but I can't help it if it's ambiguous.
... I haven't gotten an explanation until it's refreshing yet, but maybe this is the limit.
When Ain drank his cold cut tea, he looked out the window at night to fall in love.
- After that, it will be dissolved because it is too late at night.
When Silvard calls Martha, he instructs her to bring one bed into Warren's room.
Lloyd also ordered the Kingsguard to provide security (...).
Thus, from today on, Berea will be staying with Warren, and until Warren wakes up, taking care of Laralua will be taken care of by Martha and other servants.
... Later will be after Warren wakes up.
Until then, Ain and Silvard prayed that Heim would act on nothing, but that prayer was vain and one piece of information would finally arrive two days later.
The Kingdom of Heim marches on the merchant town of Birdland.
When you essentially grasp Birdland, you get word that you marched to Rockdam at the same speed.
With that information in mind, Ishtarika's future also began to move a little bit.
