* Saint Royal Palace *

Having heard the whole report, the Holy King looked up to heaven in arms.

This is between the sights of St. Royal Palace, but there was a round table set aside as in the reception room, rather than in a tough place. During the "hard" gaze, it exists in the "1st Sanctuary". Only those of the Holy King were allowed into the Holy Royal Palace.

In addition to the Holy King, only the Holy Prince Kruvschrat and the Mule Borderline Uncle are in the midst of the sight. Borderline uncle is still wearing grey bear fur.

"What do you mean...? Sometimes we help to get rid of mediators who show up at gifted pearl awards ceremonies, prevent massive human deaths, and yet —— the man who took out giant snakes! Just because you have dark hair and dark eyes! Are you saying that you caught him, tried to kill him, and even met him in return, and dropped him off with your fingers crossed to get out of the Holy King's capital!?"

"It seems so."

Without moving into the wrath of the Holy King, the grey bear responds.

"What did Evigne idiots think and do that!! And so did the Knights of the Holy Kings!! Did they brag that they crusaded themselves, albeit by mistake in contacting them!?"

"We rush for kung fu and insist that we have a benefit even if we know it's not true for now because we don't want it all taken by the Adventurer Guild... it's like a nobleman, not a knight. It's just like saying 'this is a mistake', 'I didn't report it falsely', 'it's all for the good of the country', etc. '

"Borderline uncle! No need for sarcasm!

"It's not ironic, it's true."

"Then you don't give a shit. Shut your mouth drooling over the facts! It doesn't mean anything!

"Hey, hey... Father, calm down"

When Kurvshrat entered between, the Holy King also drank some water that seemed to have settled into the cup.

"Oh, shit, you mean it wasn't if you were pursuing Lord Riviere..."

"Hmm... How about the Duke's?"

"... um, that's not good. Lord Evigne puts quite a bit of his shoulder in Lord Riviere. He doesn't care about the evidence Uncle Sullies brought."

"Uncle Sullies said that" The Eye of Hearing "was difficult to use"

"That's right. And that escort... Reggie, did you say that? The fact that he was at Uncle Sully's is also causing problems. But, well, it's only a matter of time. I'm just trying to figure out where to drop it."

"Are you about to drop it"

"Oh... I know as much as there's no way Lord Evigny can fool Lord Riviere, who is almost black. But if you let it go like this, Uncle Sullies will rise, and Lord Evigne can even stand up to a bad wolf who 'tried to kill a hero'. While you're at it, you want to can-can bark (...) and lower Uncle Sully's legitimacy."

…………

Neither did Borderline Uncle think that it was "facts" rather than "bad wasa" etc., but it is the aristocratic society that "facts" are not necessarily "truthful".

"At the end of the quote, 'If there was a sword Saint Augustine of the Duke of Luciel's house, the damage would have been smaller this time,' even Lord Luciel mentioned in the balls."

"Well, Lord Evegne and Lord Luciel weren't originally close.... Well, Your Majesty. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Uhm... you're going back to the realm now, aren't you? Mule Borderline Uncle, thank you for your unchanging loyalty."

"Ha."

"I will never forget the scolding of your Lord"

"... play"

Uncle Borderline laughed nicely in a vicious face before leaving the room when he stood up.

"Your Holiness, what is the 'scolding' of the Borderline Uncle..."

The Holy King, bewitched by Kruvschlat,

"... you need a friend too. Friends you can trust and entrust everything to."

That was as if I were telling myself.

Many problems await the Holy King from now on. In particular, it was troubling how to explain to the nobles what had happened at the gifted pearl awarding ceremony - although in the end it is belly-up that we have no choice but to talk about everything as it were.

Just explaining it means acknowledging the "sin" of the Holy King, who hated to give Kruvschlat's life without even taking it back. And you have to figure out how Louis is going to face the dead Rosier family —— the Rosier family said "what the kid did on his own," but he must not be convinced on the inside.

The mayhem is inevitable because this is intertwined with the crushing of the Riviere family, one of the six Grand Dukes.

"Kruvschlat, from you, how's my brother and sister?

"Are you your brother and sister? You're both very splendid. I'm sure your brother will be a wonderful companion to becoming the next Holy King —— oh, yes, your current father, it wasn't, it doesn't mean His Holiness is bad!

"I know."

And the holy king narrowed his eyes, and took the head of Kruvshrat.

My feelings as a father drove my judgment crazy. And it caused confusion.

Still -- and still can't abandon myself as a father.

"... Come on, I still have my job as Holy King. I'm going."

"Yes. Welcome aboard, Your Majesty"

When the Holy King stood up, he cut the wind with his shoulders and left between the glances —— and Kruvschlatt sent it with his head down.

…………

Kurvshrat's expression, which raised his face after a while, was cloudy.

He knew again, too. that he was helpful and that Louis —— that a boy who could have been my friend -- was dead.

I didn't know what was going on, and when I realized it, it was happening. On the other hand, I'm relieved to think I might have died, and I'm also driven by self-blame for how I survived.

If death was the service of the Holy King's family, it should have been fulfilled.

"... what is Miss Eva doing..."

Kruvschlat was remembering that beautiful girl at that time. She was the daughter of Uncle Sullies, my father's katana, and used "heroes" as escorts to prevent great damage.

Though he seemed badly ill at the award ceremony --.

…………

Kruvschlat shook his head to the side. I knew I was attracted to her presence, but I'm not in a good position to do that.

I really had to die.

Then.

"You have to spend the rest of your life for your country..."

To the 12-year-old boy, this incident had cast a dark shadow on the Holy King's Palace so much that he was prepared to grieve.
