"I know how much you're asking me to do."
"You still demand it, don't you?
"Yeah."
His Highness Ethel's gaze is strong.
I think it's the first time I know what the word "eye strength" means.
I wonder if this is the only thing that makes me tremble and draw my opinions in.
However.
"How many villages are burned if you exchange...
And if you wonder how many people will end that life in hunger, mourning and violence. "
"But saving everything is a feat that even the gods cannot make."
With an interchangeable gaze.
His Highness Ethel shrugged his shoulder.
"…… at all. If only you were just an anonymous man."
After a while, I cut my gaze from His Highness's side.
Put your hands on your eyes and rub both temples. I guess it's his habit.
"It was meant to be a favor, in an anonymous position."
"If that's the case, I wish I could have waved good, good..."
"… at all. Nevertheless, we can't ignore the Fei Long"
"So, there is..."
Silence fell.
An accomplished Fei Long kill is suddenly working in a bad way.
... Yes, Your Highness is right.
If a normal man sees the state of the border and the extent to which he gathers a few people for a hunt at his own expense, well, fine.
That's about as far as His Highness Ethel can miss.
In fact, it's a world where warcraft and evil races travel.
It doesn't seem uncommon to hire an adventurer to manage because the lord moves slowly.
That's good.
Nothing else, a hero of the Feilong-killer (...).
Perhaps it is seen as the origin of this nobleman.
Gather troops who can serve as private soldiers and operate in the Beast Forest (Beastwoods), which is not currently under Lordship.
... There are so many dangerous elements that I can't tell you what's at stake that it's dangerous to be stuck in a mess.
For example, you think I'm going to be the banner of the rebel forces, that I'm a possible string of other nations, that I'm going to do too much to inspire the warcraft and evil species in the woods?
No matter how I think about it, un.
No matter how I think about it...
"…… we must even consider killing you."
Intimidation knocks me out.
"...... that's horrible. How did you die?
"I won't take it to honor. Let's just say you had a gut ache in the fight against Wyburn, and suddenly you threw up blood and couldn't heal in time."
The escorts behind His Royal Highness the King, who stood strictly at his feet, wandered slightly.
Perhaps the moment they were ordered to "slash," those two would kick the table and stick it in.
That's probably a sign that you're holding back in a hidden room on the left or right side of the room, and a few samurai will try to cut me. There's a danger of flying gear.
His Royal Highness Brother Wang is also quite skilled. It's also difficult to take hostages because as soon as you give the order, you will be thoroughly defensive and evacuated.
And I've been thinking about the way it would be if it were a battle, but even before that, I could kill everyone in the hall, and I would die socially. Die without escape.
"- Hmm?"
and.
His Highness Ethel's gaze turned to this one and Menel.
"This is, this is horrible"
I shrug my shoulders at all costs.
I wondered if something had happened and looked back...
Menel was standing faceless.
"... what the hell"
"No, it's nothing"
? I wonder what.
I can't really just look at Menel, so I return my gaze to His Highness Ethel.
Anyway, it's not a very good flow. We have to get through this situation.
A twitch and sweat seeped into his hand under the table.
... This is the only hand I can think of.
"Your Highness."
"What is it?"
"- If the salt of the world is no longer salty, by what means will the salt taste salty?"
◆
"…… hmm?
I will carry on my words to His Highness, who is doubtful.
"If all the bearers of the world's lights were to be in the light of day, what would the lights illuminate?"
…………
His Highness Ethel's, look sharply into his eyes.
Align your gaze.
Don't distract me.
It doesn't flicker.
Straighten up.
"I was given one end of the fire by the God of Lightning (Gracefield)."
Look me in the eye and talk to me.
"I think the carriers of the lights, more than they are, have to take the lead and move on into the darkness.
We must shine a light on those who mourn in the dark and show them the way to those who follow. "
Turn around.
In heartfelt words, sue.
"I know that's my mission."
That's all I have, and I should.
Bad decorations and deception are counterproductive to this person.
"- So please.
Can you forgive me in any way for my activities? "
Saying so, I got up from my chair and lowered my head deeply.
Not smart, maybe not.
But after all, if you're going to do people an impossible favor, I think you should ask them from the front first.
"Lord William…………………………"
After a moment of silence, His Highness Ethel says.
"Eighty-nine out of ten, that's the way to despair."
I slowly raise my head to that word.
And against His Highness, I laughed.
I know.
But...
"I need help with that despair."
I don't like it, so I thought I'd kick your ass, full of strength.
I shrugged my shoulders and said so.
His Royal Highness Ethel replied, pompous for a moment… then slowly, laughed out.
"Ha, hahahaha......! I'll kick your ass, huh? this is good, hahahaha............!!
It was a big reception.
He's stomaching and tapping the table.
It seeped to tears in my eyes.
"Hahaha. Right, right. Speaking of which, you were a cleric who even prayed for the Sanctuary.
Besides, I have a good friend!
…… Uh, "
"What, are you aware of that?
Lord Half Elf behind there, the moment I told you I was going to kill you, you gave me a glimpse of this killer.
Those are the eyes of a dead soldier, I was prepared to protect you and stab you like everyone else in this room!
No, brilliant, brilliant and laughing, Your Highness.
Looking back slowly and looking at the menu......
"And I don't know! I just decided I was going to roll up and eat too... damn, don't look happy!
I laughed with a strangely loose face without thinking about it.
The menu that sees it makes it even worse.
Such a rush - from across the hallway, all of a sudden, I heard a bumpy, rough footsteps and screams.
◆
"The temple chief, stop, Your Highness is in the process of welcoming…………"
"Please wait! Wait, wait, wait!
"Yeah, let go, let go!
It sounds like etc.
"Don't get in my way! You idiots!
The door opens.
It was the Bagley Temple Chief who was there.
The servants of the hall in the back, the midwife and the young lady are trying to drag them down.
As it was, with a rough breath, Phew, Phew, the temple chief steps back into the room.
And casually, I stood in front of His Highness.
"…… His Royal Highness Ethelbald. Would you stop tearing the cross paper?"
His Royal Highness Ethel's or not, it's a harsh gaze.
After a close glance at His Highness, the Temple Chief said so.
"Hmm, cross paper tear. I wonder what that is, Temple Chief Bagley"
His Highness Ethel shrugs his shoulders and even asks the temple chief with pleasure.
"I want you to stop fooling around!
Don, and the temple chief steps on the floor.
"This young builder. Huh!
pointing to me,
"One who booked it on the register of priests in my temple! It's a place to live in a temple, even if it's a harvest!
Even so, what do you mean, you don't send a word to the temple? Your Highness intends to disregard the authority of the Temple!
And I screwed it up all at once.
"Oh, is that so? I didn't know that, did I?
"……… Ah, yes"
I did put it on the roster.
But that obviously wasn't that important, it seemed like a lodging-level thing...
"A story you didn't even know about! I didn't know you wouldn't follow the confirmation steps just because I was absent due to the mess on the go!
"Nevertheless, the men of your temple seem to have sent him away with pleasure."
"You're just undereducated! I'll squeeze you tight later. Wow!!
That said, he slammed his fat, golden and silver ring fitting hand, bang, on the table.
It's kind of weird that Tapu and Fat wobble.
"Whatever, he belongs to our temple! Not at His Majesty's discretion……………………."
"That's it, Chief Temple. He's not that kind of balls."
"……… What?
"I've told you to form a private soldier, etc. He wants to save the beast forests."
"Huh!?
The gaze of the stripped temple chief now turns this way.
"Oh, you, you……………………."
"Honestly, it's a lie when it comes to the idea that I'm going to kill you here that didn't cross my mind"
The temple chief no longer utters a word, and his mouth pounds.
Looks like a goldfish.
"but it's so straight... I'm starting to get funny"
"Ha!?
"What do you say, Temple Chief? I'm going to leave him to a one-generation knight, but will you bless him at the temple?"
"Ha ha!!?
"Look, it's the one called the Holy Knight. Me and the temple, halving responsibility and profit... around, what do you think?
"Ha-ha-ha!!?
He had an amazing voice.
The whole room is trembling.
"This will mean that me and the temple are under control, and if you have to, you know. There will be a bill called Bankruptcy Gate."
"That's not the problem!
"If the Temple guarantees about your identity, and then you become the hero of the Fei Long Killer, well, there's a problem"
"That's not even the problem!
"So what's the problem?"
"It's too urgent!!
Also, Bang, the desk was slapped.
"- Let me take it back and consider it! Are you sure?"
"Uhm, good. You may freely consider it.
...... but I'm already glad to see it happen, Bagley. I liked him. "
"Even when it draws me to life, the fun is probably!
Yes, Temple Chief Bagley looked at me and Menel.
"Hey, Freshly Made Kid (Nobis)! I'm leaving, accompany me!
"Ha, ha!
Said and rushed to take a seat.
With the momentum of a stormy temple chief, my meeting with my lord, His Highness Ethelbald, was over.
