Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Freed..."

Simultaneous attack on Talim and Arkanum islands.

Having heard the report, my husband left the office in a keen atmosphere.

As a general, he must be at the forefront of the army. I knew that, but I was worried and my chest was about to split.

Especially now, Freed is significantly weakened.

I couldn't help but think that something would happen to him.

……

"Masahisa"

I looked at the door where he had left, and I heard a voice from behind me.

The voice of the Lord is the Blutbaden Aeon. Next to her was Lena, who looked anxious.

"What's the matter, Aeon?"

I heard that Arkanum Island declared war.

Yeah.

Aeon replied, biting his lips and making an irresistible face.

"...... I can't believe it. I mean, everybody on the island wasn't interested in going out there. If only we could live in peace. There are only beasts on the island who think like that. I have no idea how to fight with humans. Rather, they are often kidnapped as slaves, so even though there are many people who hate them....."

That's right.

Aeon's words were particularly good.

The beasts on Arcanum Island basically don't have good feelings for humans.

Children and women are often enslaved.

Rather, the slavery of Tarim and Sahaja may be so disgusting as to give rise to revolt.

Fortunately, I'm getting along with them, but of course, it's not all of them, not all of them. I'm pretty sure most people on the island don't like humans.

"Young people like me don't hate people that much." Some are good, some are bad. Because I know that not everyone is the same. But it's no good when you're older than your father's generation. I feel angry just by hearing it from humans... I'm sorry "

It's not about you apologizing.

I shook my head to the side when I was told I was sorry.

Lena was also kind of shy. My hometown is at war, and I'm attacking where I am. I know it makes me feel complicated, and that's why I wanted to protect you.

Lena, are you okay?

Lena nodded weakly as she called out.

"It's okay, but the island is at war... come and attack Wilhelm." I'm sure everyone doesn't like me. Everyone knows I'm a beastman. You don't like beasts attacking your own country, do you? "

I stared at Lena in pain.

In fact, I think some people would say that. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but there are stupid people everywhere and everywhere.

Lena was especially cute and small, so there would be a lot of people coming after her. That's how people try to hit weak things.

But I won't allow that.

It's okay.

I slapped Don in the chest and said to Lena, who was trembling.

"Don't worry, you're a lady in my castle." I would never let you bully Lena, who belongs to Wilhelm.... hey, Lena. If you ever say anything you don't like, tell me right away. Never suffer alone in silence. Please. "

Stroking Lena's head, she stared slightly.

"But, but... I'm not bothered by your mistress..."

"That's not true." I think Lena is cute, and I want her to stay in Wilhelm for a long time. Lena doesn't want me to feel comfortable here. So don't worry about it. Besides, you know what? "

Cut out the words and look at her. Lena looked back at me.

And what?

"You're not the only child left by Theon." I think Theon entrusted you to me. I'm trying to make you happy instead of him. That's why Lena can count on me. I may not be able to rely on Theon... but I want you to rely on me like that if possible. "

I'll tell you what I've been thinking.

Theon left Lena in Wilhelm.

I was sure he trusted us and left Lena behind.

Of course, it was because Lena wanted to [stay], but if Theon thought he couldn't do it, he would have stopped.

I think that respecting her will without stopping means that she trusted us that Wilhelm would be okay with it.

“Don't worry, we'll protect you.”

I told Lena again and stroked her head gently.

Lena grabbed my dress and nodded silently over and over.

Aeon, who was watching in silence, said he was pissed.

--Your Major Consort is a Beastman Killer, isn't she?

Huh?

What are you talking about? I stopped stroking my head and looked at Aeon with a strange face. He looked back at us complicatedly.

”No, we're dealing with the Beastmen... even if there's no prejudice... I guess I'll have to serve you back as much as I can.”

"... I know"

I'm sure Lena, who hugged me, agreed with Aeon.

"Sion-sama was just like that, but since your Majesty will give me the words I want... you'll be gentle." That's why I'm trying my best here. "

"Huh!? You don't have to do anything for me, do you?" I wish Lena could live happily ever after. "

You don't have to think for me. I just did what I wanted to do, and I didn't expect you to feel sorry for me.

I had a problem with Lena being stuck.

But Lena stared at Giroli and me.

"Look, that's it!"

Yeah!?

I don't know what that means.

Look to Aeon for help. But Aeon also seemed to agree and nodded many times.
