Master of the brave.

By the time the 9: 00 a.m. bell rings.

If it's a store, it's already a busy chase, and if it's a craftsman, it's a time of sweat all over the scene.

Today, however, both ends of the main street from the front of the castle gate of the Imperial Palace to the front of the main gate of Teito were busy with large crowds of people.

Their purpose, of course, is to see at first sight Crown Prince Alfred, who is going to make a goodwill visit to the Kingdom of Lyons, and more than that, the brave Leticia Van Mavis.

Some deliberately took time off from work, and closed shops, to see the crown prince of their country and the noble brave men they could rarely see.

The knights of security are standing up all over the street, shouting out loud to organize the people. And the merchant soulful merchants who wanted to use the opportunity to make money so as to destroy their voices as well, were expanding their outdoor shops and bringing in customers.

It is a bustle of those who are no less than the Founding Festival, the greatest festival in the Empire.

That should be it, too. After the imperial crusade, the brave Mavis appeared before the people only once when he suppressed the coup by General Zaunas.

It's been around ever since.

"So I wonder if you'd like me to wave a little to the people"

"Your Highness, aren't you amused?

"No way."

"I didn't like to get attention like this, and I refused to be present at His Highness's toll carriage, did I?

"It's not a bad thing for Lord Leticia to appeal internally and externally to the good relationship between the Imperial Family and Lord Brave. It prevents unnecessary interference from other countries."

The two men, Alfred and Leticia, were aboard Alfred's toll carriage.

Typically, the pickup carriage is made so that you can't see the person riding inside with a box carriage, or curtain, etc. To prevent assassinations by bows and arrows and magic.

However, this pickup carriage is like mounting a back seat on a trolley with a gorgeous decoration. It is made so that the subjects of the Empire can see Alfred and Leticia well.

It is only natural that when we decided to use this toll carriage that we disagreed that it might be too defenseless. But it was none other than Alfred who suppressed that opinion.

"Along with me, Lord Mavis the Brave will be aboard. Is there anywhere else safe?

Of course, the knights were thoroughly deployed where the surrounding bows and arrows seemed capable of sniping, and several skilled court magicians were scrutinizing the magic of Magic Detection as the queue proceeded.

Still, even in the unlikely event that there were assassins who broke through this alarm net, there is at the end the strongest of mankind, no, 'the one who approaches God unlimited'.

Leticia, its "infinitely closer to God," had a stiff look on her face after receiving a great deal of attention from earlier.

Still, Alfred urged me to finally show the folks to smile and wave.

At that moment - how the atmosphere trembled with popular cheer.

"That's just how popular brave you are. I can't go this far alone."

"Is it?

"Sure, the people won't have a chance to see my face, but still, I and His Majesty sometimes show their faces at New Year's festivals and Founding Fathers' Festivals. If you can line up in the previous row, there's nothing you can't see.

But when I came with you, after I triumphed over the Imperial City, all I could do was count myself out in public. Even before the people, since we stopped the coup.

You can see how exciting the people are. "

Alfred, like Leticia sitting next to him, waved and said in a slightly reprehensible tone in the second half.

"You have a loud voice that actually looks at you and celebrates its beauty. Your picture is spreading domestically and internationally by a lot of painters, but I don't think it's possible to paint the beauty of the real thing.

Brave Mavis combines bravery and beauty.

Besides, I've seen you in your usual dress, and I think you look extraordinarily beautiful in your uniform. "

"Thanks for that."

Leticia's reply is unsatisfactory.

Alfred laughs bitterly.

If she was the daughter of most nobles, she would dye her cheeks and rejoice if he told her so far, but Leticia couldn't even see her rejoicing.

"Is that the brave man? It's more beautiful than I hear rumors."

"Are you friends with His Highness Alfred? You two are talking intimately."

"His Majesty tells His Highness that His Highness wishes..."

"If you two are united, the prosperity of the empire is as promised"

Such rumours heard from among the crowd gradually spread and eventually...

"Bless you both for your future!

"Long live the Empire!

I got a big cheer.

"No way... fans, etc."

Leticia goes to the side of Alfred sitting next to her, sending a slightly swordsweeping glance. If you're this crown prince, you could do it.

Alfred just turned his grin.

Your son Alfred and beautiful Leticia look very picturesque waving side by side.

More boiling folk to see how it goes.

The queue centered on the Midori carriage slowly continues down the main street of the Imperial City. Eventually we arrived at Shimrug Castle Gate Square.

In this square in front of the castle gate, the Free City opens in the morning, and after the city is over, a huge square where traveling merchants are expanding their outdoors.

Today, however, instead of merchants and shoppers, the knights restricted the flow of people, and flags were flickered with lots of flowers and the flag of the empire and the crest of the nobles. And to the left and right of the castle gate lined a chair with a large curtain and a luxurious-looking decoration with a back, where the imperial nobles and heavy towns stood and waited.

The queue stopped once as it proceeded to their front, lined up in the curtain.

Towards the upper seat on the left is lined with high titled nobles, and on the right are the Knights, the executives of the Order of Mages, and the priests of the Temple. Two figures from among the people on the left, its upper seat, advanced to Alfred, and to Leticia's riding toll carriage.

Cornelia Lau Route Remulsil, First Empress of the Empire. And the other is Neumann Ertz Route Remulsil.

It is the second and third place in the right to inherit the throne.

As is customary, it is dropped off by royal representatives in front of the Imperial Castle Gate.

"While I'm away, I'd like to assist Your Majesty well and ask for this country."

"Ha. I'll take care of the country. My brother, too, may not know what will happen on the long journey. Be careful around you though."

"I wish you well on the road"

Alfred nods back to Neumann, who bows his head and can't look at his expression, and to his sister, who wishes him well on his journey.

Subsequently, when each of the ministers, the Knights and the executives of the Order of Mages greeted him and finally offered a blessing congratulating him on his safe journey by the imperial high priests and the Order of Clerics, a line dived the castle gate of the imperial Sigurd.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Somehow, people's voices and dogs squeal.

When Leeds Belt slowly wakes up, what pops into his eyes is the less expensive ceiling of wooden architecture and the figure of a girl being stretched out by a dog.

The voice of someone I've heard from earlier seems to be hers.

I can hear the other sound of firewood blasting off called pakipaki and the crunch I hear from the iron pan behind the furnace.

Trying to get up, I flaunt my face for the pain I ran through my back.

No, it's not just my back. From his legs and arms, there seemed to be no place where he could feel no general pain.

I notice the groan leaked at that time and the girl turns to Leesbelt.

Terribly neat face even from an elf.

Eyes reminiscent of red treasure balls in silver hair.

(Hmm? This trait, somewhere...)

Leeds belt thinking with an unclear head. Later the girl stood up,

"Mother!"

I ran out of the house.

It's not elf language, it's human language.

(Is this inside people... well, I... survived?)

I remember when I suffered this wound.

An old man with mixed gray hair dressed in a swallow tail suit.

A huge magic formation that is brightening up the creepy red light.

And a skeleton wrapped around red and black light.

The appearance of his companions who died a tragic way of bouncing from the inside out.

The inside burned down, and the young trees of the precious world trees they were to protect were withered by intense temper.

Around that area will be a depleted land of spiritual power - a land of abominable demonic neglect.

(What... I need to reward my country for this as soon as possible...)

But what the thought was, his body did not move on his back, and Leeds Belt became the wingspan of intolerable pain.

'You can't move!

Elf language.

It was much worse than the elf spoken by the Leesbelts, but it was definitely elf.

When I opened my eyes that were closed to pain, one daughter was supporting his body.

"I've seen the doctor, but if I can't, the wound will open again."

"Oh, oh... sorry"

Take my daughter's hand and let her go back to bed again for an easy posture.

"The fever seems to have dropped a lot......"

When his daughter, who reached for Leesbelt's forehead, said so and stood up, she went from the room behind the furnace to the earth and returned to her hand with a cup of pottery.

'Do you think you can drink water?

Water!

In the meantime, Leeds Belt learned a thirst that was hard to resist.

My daughter supports my body and only wakes me up in my upper body.

My left arm was broken and my right arm was badly lacerated, so my daughter brought me a pottery cup to my mouth.

'Drink slowly, please. Because if you take a breath, your body will be surprised.'

Tastes good.

It looks like the water will stain your dry body.

Drink up slowly and take a breath.

Then, when he was put to sleep on the floor again with his daughter's hands, Leesbelt noticed.

'Hmm? You said that time... sure, Seri?

"Yes."

Daughter of a half elf with an elf father and a human mother - Celi smiled small.

"Thanks for the water. And I'm sorry... that's when we put you in such a terrible way '

'No, it's past. And I'm not the one who helped you.'

That's when the girl who left earlier came back with one human woman.

"Mr. Seri, you've noticed the elves better"

"Yep. The fever seems to be dropping a lot, and I was wondering if another night's sleep would make my meal okay"

"Lord Seli, who is this lady?

"Mr. Laura and her daughter, Mr. Iferina. These are the two of you who brought you back to your home and treated you for falling in the woods. '

"Right."

Laura and the others, who took the seriously injured Leesbelt home, immediately called a doctor from Imperial City to treat them.

And Leeds Belt, which is caused by high fever coming from the wound, has been nursing me for a long time.

'Right. That's taken care of.'

Lisbeth, who heard the story, tried to thank me and reminded me that she wasn't even named Celi. When Celi asked me to help her wake up again, I looked at Celi's face and said:

'I was very rude not even naming my name when I said I had help.

My name is Leesbelt.

Apparently, the words of the elves don't make sense to the two benefactors who helped me. I'm sorry, but could you pass on my thanks from your mouth? '

Celi nodded, telling Laura and Iferina his words as they were.

Iferina grinned and Laura accepted his words of thanks, "We're each other in trouble," she said.

'So, how long have I been asleep?

"Approximately… Is it about three days"

"... three days? I've been asleep for three days!

'What's wrong with you?

'Shit! I can't stay like this. We have to reward the country!

'No! The wound opens!

I try to support my body with my right hand complaining about the pain and force myself to stand up, but even though Laura and Seri were two clues, Leeds Belt was held down lightly.

Still leaks his voice in remorse as he tries to push the two of them away somehow.

'Even while I'm doing this... the Demons! I need to tell the princess as soon as possible...'

"Princess?

"Between you, a wise man and a well-known man."

"Master Great Sage? Um, then... '

As soon as I heard of "The Great Sage," I weakened my ability to hold Celi's Leeds belt in. Because the change was too sudden, Leeds Belt slammed his left arm on the floor, which was lazing forward and fractured.

'- - Eh!'

A scream without a voice.

The sweat runs off sloppily.

His complexion turned earthy, and for a long time Leeds Belt had to eat up his teeth and fight the pain.

"Look, you can't move yet. Rest in peace, even though the fever's dropping."

I didn't know the words, but I generally understood what Laura was saying.

Regrettably but with a few shocks I remember so much pain, I would go and fall without holding it for half a day, as I reported. In the first place, he moved in a hurry and realized that he now had no means of rewarding his country with information.

Back on the bunk, Leeds Belt is beaten to powerlessness.

(Everyone in there died and said I was the only one who survived...)

"Um..."

That's how Celi talked to him.

"The Great Sage is about Tiara, right?

Liesbert raised his face when he heard the name of the princess of the high elf, a royal for the elf named 'Tiara'.

'Shall I talk to Master Leticia?

Leesbelt opened his eyes.

'Oh, well! If you are indeed a brave man...'

"Oh, but... the Crown Prince and I were on our way to Lyon."

'No, I'm fine. More than that, I'd like to ask you a favor. You know a guy named Kelvin, right? One of the knights who visited us when you were imprisoned. "

Seli was told she was the Wins' superior officer. Reminds me of a fine eyed, honorable man.

"I wonder if you could manage to get in touch with that man"
