Master of the brave.

Supper party ③

Former Sorcerer Konrat Heisenberg, Court of the Kingdom of Sain.

If it were the amount of magic Leticia would not allow Tiara to follow other magicians if it were the number of magic and control she could use.

But a genius magician who was told that if he had knowledge of magic, he would also be comparable to Tiara, who is famous as a great sage.

The woman who was his high brother was Sarah Ferrule.

"- Was it? You're one of three survivors of the demise of the Kingdom of Sein, which happened about forty years ago."

Leticia nodded at Alfred's words.

"Sarah Ferrule...... nostalgic name"

Is it a woman's name?

As soon as I heard that name coming out of Raul's mouth, Leticia, who had been in a good mood until then, narrowed her eyes.

Then Winn and Cornelia opened their mouths when they saw that they didn't seem to know about a person named Sarah Ferrule.

"Brother, when the two of us went to see the play during this time, you told us that the Demon King had descended with the body of Melvic IV, who was king of the Kingdom of Sail, in a vessel."

"Yeah."

"You're [Kensei] from previous generations."

Wynn remembers the story of the tragedy that took place in the Kingdom of Sein, which Leticia just told me during this time.

When the Demon King descended on the flesh of Melvic IV, the hero king of the Kingdom of Sain, there was one granddaughter and court magician of Melvic IV, and a maid of honor, who was still a baby.

I heard miraculously that only three survived.

"At the time the demon king descended, there were those who survived by staying at the place, but one of them was a court magician, Konrat Heisenberg. And one of those who survived being sheltered by him was Liara's mother, who was the princess of the Kingdom of Sein, and the other was Sarah Ferrule, the maid of honor."

"Sure, [traitor]"

I added as if Alfred remembered Leticia's explanation.

"That's right. Did Alfred know?"

Alfred nods at Raul's words.

"Well... that's right. A madman who was awarded the title of [Saint] by the Great Temple of Emerdia for the third time in his life, while sacrificing massively the faithful behind it"

"Speaking of which, I've heard similar stories.

Indeed, the story of the brave Mavis defeating the cult clerics who had sacrificed their lives every night and rescuing those who had been imprisoned... "

Listen to Raul and Alfred, Cornelia pinches his mouth.

That story is one of the famous episodes in the story of the brave Mavis, as Winn has also heard.

"Could that cult cleric mean Mr. Sarah Ferrule?

"Generally, that's what happens. I can't tell you that one of the [saints], who was honored by the high priest for his lifetime, was performing a sacrificial ritual."

"We're talking about a time when the Allies against the Devil's Continent were at a disadvantage.

Emerdia, who had taken the lead, made the case that Sarah [the saint], the high priest had admitted, had been committed by a group of people who believed in cults.

To hide facts that are inconvenient to the Church. "

Succeeding after Alfred, Raul says in a mockery mix.

"If Letty finally decides to defeat the cult patriarch, it means he can deepen his faith in the brave and the temple, and expect a massive donation besides."

Raul threw up all he wanted using God's name.

"But how did Sarah Ferrule come out of your mouth now?" Because she's... "

"I..."

Leticia opens her mouth quietly, trying to block Alfred's words when she asks Raul.

But before Leticia uttered the words ahead, she shifted her gaze to Wynn, making room for hesitation.

Wynn realizes that, without saying a word, he just looks at her face and nods.

Leticia nodded too, opening her mouth looking softly at the front.

"I killed Sarah Ferrule.

I did kill her for crushing a group that believed in Sarah Ferrule and leading the group. That day, in that place... "

The tip of a headland that was shredded by waves and became a cliff.

A small stone temple built securely there.

I don't know what the god worshipped was.

An elderly priestess dressed in a elegant white coat of holy clothing, quietly praying in its temple.

"Where you made a donation to the church and prayed to God, did you do something to us?

They won't do anything for me......

Man, army, country, and God.

They took away my beloved family, lost my birthplace...

I can't find a word to hang up on someone who has lost their reason to live.

The truth is, I'm the same.

I lost my reason to live in this world.

But, you know, there are people who listen to my words, weep, and entrust their lives to me.

So I fight - even if it was an unacceptable way.

'Cause that's why I live...'

The old priest Sarah Ferrule, after praying to a believing God, quietly told Leticia that he had waited until the prayer was over when he stood up quietly.

If she did not know hundreds of believers as lunatics who had sacrificed themselves to evil gods, her appearance with a gentle smile was exactly what she deserved to call a saint.

Close your eyes and you will still clearly revive the sight of that day and her appearance.

"There's been some sign of these remnants of them moving again in my country lately."

"Remaining party?"

"In fact, the legacy of Konrat Heisenberg was stolen"

"No way!?

"I crushed my head, but as an organization, it still seemed to survive. delayed in realizing that we are rapidly growing our forces"

It's my downfall, I'm sorry, and Raul bows his head.

Leticia thought with a difficult face as she watched that raul.

"Um... what exactly is that Konrat Heisenberg legacy?

Cornelia raised her right hand small and asked Raul.

"It is an experimental record of summoning magic written by the former Sorcerer Konrat of the Court of the Kingdom of Sain and taken by [the apostate] Sarah Ferrule.

When I killed Sarah, I was entrusted with the administrative seal on my behalf. "

"Is it summoning magic?

"I didn't know there was such a thing. It was my first time."

"The four of us hid it."

Raul saw Leticia.

Leticia keeps thinking, watching Raul keep the words going when he doesn't make it slight.

"Letty, Tiara, Riara, and me.

When we killed Sarah, the four of us talked about what we should do with the legacy of this legacy of Konrat. "

I can't trust a temple that held the lead in the war.

High Elves, [protectors of the World Tree], may also appear to unseal accidentally because many people possess the knowledge of deceptive magic.

So the generation [Kensei] who only pursued swordsmanship decided to manage it...

"My arm stood, I was a trustworthy man and I was strictly in control..."

In front of Raul, who knew of the anomaly and rushed to the place where he had hidden his legacy, the bodies of his men, who had been tragically murdered without remnants, were rolling.

Quite hand-worked work.

"Mr. Raul, what is the legacy of that conjurer - summoning magic?

"Right, how do I explain it..."

Raul put his arms together and tilted his neck.

"Information that has only been made known to royal officials or dignitaries in various countries indicates that the Demon King descended the flesh of Melvic IV, the hero of Sain, as a vessel.

That's where Konrat paid attention. "

If the Demon King can use man's flesh as a vessel, can he bring down other superior beings to man...

Konrat kidnapped Liara Sain, who was protected and a witch by the Great Temple of Emerdia.

Leara, who inherited the blood of Melvic IV, even called the King of Heroes, as a vessel, descends God or the Superior Spirit, and uses his power to destroy the Demon King to save the soul of the King of Heroes.

The concert, which repeated many human experiments and verifications, and attempted to perform the ritual as a sacrifice of the daughter of the one who was the main muscle, was stopped by Leticia, who appeared at the hairline.

Even without sacrifice, Konrat decided to seal his own knitted summoning magic when he found out that a brave man had appeared against the demon king named Leticia Van Mavis -

"It was Sarah Ferrule, the maid who saved his life, who killed that Konrat and took away his research."

When Sarah gave herself to the Emerdia Grand Temple with the princess, who was still a baby, she was studying magic as the high brother of Konrat while devoting herself to faith.

Beside it, he went around the area damaged by demons and delivered many people.

Eventually, the great temple of Emmerdia recognized her achievements, and she was awarded the title of [Saint] in her lifetime -.

"Sarah's true purpose was to study demons and magic for revenge."

"To avenge that, did she kill Konrat, who was both a benefactor of life and a master of magic?

Raul nodded as Cornelia asked, listening silently to Raul.

"There is darkness against the light. There is a Spirit against the existence of the Demon Nation. And as there are brave men against the demon king, there are beings against whom things are"

Wynn and Cornelia listen closely to Raul, who talks about choosing words with his eyes closed.

"Then there must also be something against Anastasia, the goddess who said she created this world. Word against Genesis is destruction. In other words, Sarah Ferrule thought that there was a God in charge of destruction."

"Sarah tried to summon the god responsible for its destruction."

Leticia, who had contemplated Raul's words until then, inherited them.

"But where I summoned such a noisy god to preside over destruction, is it something that listens to man?

Cornelia pinched her mouth at some unsure pace.

Where I summoned that wrecking god and his doings, I didn't think he was very human from the sound of it.

Wouldn't it rather just increase the presence of the same as the Demon King?

Leticia answered that Cornelia question.

"Many of the people who worshipped Sarah were from the North and refugees.

Sarah looked around at the nations of the North destroyed by demons and saw the despair of the people living in the land. And as she listened to their wishes, she tried to fulfill what she wanted herself.

What people who lost their birthplace, lost their loved ones and families, and lost everything wanted - a new world that they believed would be born after it was destroyed by God of Destruction - "

"I guess I lost everything, I lost hope of living, I was desperate for this world"

Try to sigh, Raul says.

"But isn't that what all people wanted? I think it's wrong to involve those people and destroy the world."

Leticia nodded at Winn's words.

"Yes. That's why I crushed it. I killed Sarah."

"Well, man is a vessel. Then I don't think we can summon a big man like the god of destruction comparable to the god of creation Anastasia, and I don't think the god of kin was sophisticated, but it's a threat that could destroy the world.

Most of all, I'm not sure if my family God has the power to destroy the Demon King. "

Say it. Raul shrugged his shoulder.

"In other words, the idea of the followers of Sarah Ferrule is that if it were to be destroyed by the Demon King anyway, it would be better to be destroyed by the God of Destruction without any later decay, and there would be a renewal of the world. That's what I was thinking."

"Destroy the Divine Faith...? That's an incredible story."

Cornelia sighed heavily as she stared at the cup of tea.

The teachings of salvation that begin with destruction.

It was an unacceptable idea for those in this room.

"Is that what you get to the idea of losing everything?

Winn saw Leticia sitting right on the side, as a matter of course.

Winn doesn't have any bloody parents.

But I was lucky enough to feed her at the "Migratory Bird Inn" pavilion, and I met her.

Though I was separated from Leticia once, now I'm right beside her just like I was back then.

The most important person for Wynn.

If we ever lose that Leticia, will Winn start to have the same idea?

"I don't know either - but at least in those days, the people living in that north were being hunted down so far.

As much as it breaks the world once and makes you want to start over.

But I don't think that's what they're thinking right now. It's my idea. "

Speaking of which, Raul drank all the tea he had left in one breath.

"But, Raul, this is a big deal about the legacy of Konrat Heisenberg that you've been hiding. An international problem."

"There's no excuse for that."

"Even the Empire needs to take action as soon as possible. This loan is huge, right? Mr. Raul."

"I know. Okay. I had to let you know.

We'll talk about that area later.

In the meantime, Letty, if you're serious about them doing what Sarah thinks, maybe it's you and us who get in the way. "

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

After leaving Alfred's private room, Wynn and Leticia had been invited to Cornelia to visit her private room in the back of the palace.

On the way to the room, I could still hear the dinner party blurring from the people in the large hall.

It was getting late at night, but apparently it was still going well.

"Is it Master Raul Ort Lyon of Sword Saint? I wanted to see you, too."

Mary, a samurai who prepared tea and baked sweets for the three of us, said in a voice like she had played somewhere when she heard about Raul from Cornelia.

"When Leticia was triumphant and Raul came to our country, Cornelia was ill, so I couldn't go to the triumph ceremony."

"... sorry"

Cornelia apologized to Mary as Shin because Mary's voice was accompanied by a sincerely unfortunate sound. Winn and Leticia laugh when they see it.

I heard about Raul earlier and wanted to clear up the feeling that it was getting dark.

"At first, he named Lowe a pseudonym. So he tells me to compete, so I tried the game, and it's actually like Master Raul or something. I'm really surprised."

"Raul knew about your brother at the ceremony, and he said he wanted to see you while he was in Imperial City, he wanted to fight. When it's time to go home to Lyon, tell me you won't leave until you fight.

In the end, Liara forced me to drag my neck out and take me home. "

"Huh? Really?

Raul's figure tied the footage as the woman grabbed the root in Winn's head and dragged him down with a jerk.

In Wynn, the image of the strongest [Kensei] on the continent is in admirable collapse.

"Since the brave, the Virgin and the Great Sage are women, I wonder if many admire Raul, who is still the only man. Besides, he's the prince of the great Lyon, and he looks slutty and tall and pitiful..."

"Yes, Mary was right, and I did see a hero in her eyes who was both spiritual and gentle."

Cornelia said, "I knew it!" He raised his voice and regretted that Mary could not see it with some lucid eye.

Next to it Winn and Leticia were tilting their necks.

"Huh?... that one?

Bosoli and Leticia were squeaking, like, unexpectedly next to Winn.

Winn also has a stronger image of the first Lowe he meets than Raul's impression he saw at the dinner party.

Slurry and tall, he had worked out flesh, but he had the impression that his hair was like a brother who had grown a mustache of blush.

"There are so many women, including me, who admire Master Raul. Many of you have a sneak portrait of that one.

Speaking of which, as Cornelia's spousal candidate, Raul's portrait was also given to her before. Can you take a look?

"Heh. He's got Liara, but also Mr. Cornelia..."

"As it were, well, there is the king and prince of the great kingdom."

Somewhere, to Leticia, who had a flat voice, Cornelia took refuge in a troubled face.

In the meantime, Mary snuggled out of the room and came back a while later with a painting that went into a single frame.

Long ago, it seems to be one of the paintings shown to the four of us when we had tea: Wynn, Leticia, Cornelia and Rock.

The impact of Lloyds' portrait was too strong then, and the impression of other spousal candidates was faint, but apparently that included Raul's portrait as well.

"This way, sir."

Mary expanded the portrait on the table and peered at the painting together.

There's cool eyes, neat looks.

My nostrils were all the way through and my mouth depicted some spare smiling young man.

"Sure... it's Lady Raul"

"Well... I did have it for a girl"

Leticia said with some sinister look on her face.

When portrayed in this way, he can see his style as a hero as [Kensei].

Afterwards, I had the pleasure and time to cheer up about the portrait of Count Elsted, whom I had shown previously (unlike before, it was easy to talk about because he was also my boss and I knew him facially), and to hear from Leticia and Cornelia about today's dinner party.

Meanwhile, in Alfred's private room, a military alliance covenant was exchanged between Crown Prince Lemursil and Prince King of the Kingdom of Lyon.

In the near future, Crown Prince Alfred decided to visit the Kingdom of Lyon for his signature, and Crown Princess Cornelia decided to pay a respectful visit for the goodwill of both countries.
