Private Awakened During The War

“Kaiyan, in other people's eyes...”

“I can't see. So don't say it out loud. People look weird. ”

“… Got it. ”

You and Baran are observing the people around you in a large hall where the inauguration ceremony begins.

If it's a bit unusual, it's the fact that Baran has a completely different face and that I look translucent.

‘I didn't think Riiko had it in her. I should thank Elder Elder Elder Elaine. ’

It's all thanks to Rieka that I was able to come out like this.

I was going to use the necklace I got from the Assassin's Guild Master that day to change my face and send it alone, but Rieka was able to follow me back with Elder Elder Elder Elin's blessing.

‘You said your heart was getting stronger. They also said that the stronger the heart, the more powerful it becomes. ’

Rica said that the stopped heart started beating after receiving Elder Elder Elder Elder Elder's blessing. And the abilities that I used before I became a helper are coming back.

I don't know how much help I'm going to be in the fight yet, but it's good for me that she's getting stronger.

“Varane, don't be surprised if I suddenly disappear. ”

“Hmm? Where are you going? ”

“No, because her abilities are still unstable, and she could suddenly disappear. ”

“Who said that? I thought it was artifacts. ”

“I just... think so. I think your brother's in here somewhere. ”

Turning your gaze toward the entrance of the hall, you see Lian going through a jewel-like door.

He's a lot taller than he used to be, and he's mature enough, so now he's more like a girl than a kid.

Lian hides his mouth, ignoring the approaching nobles with a cold, expressionless face with a pretentious smile.

“Lian...”

“Your brother doesn't know anything yet, so don't even think about leaving now. We need to stall until the Count of Carsia finishes his work. ”

“… I know. ”

The only people who knew that Baran was involved in the inauguration ceremony were me, the Marquis of Carsia, and the Hou.

And Carsia is doing one thing while we wait for the inauguration ceremony. At the end of the inauguration ceremony, it was very important to catch the Countess.

Sheesh, sheesh!

As you pause to chat with Baran and observe the nobles around you, the palace attendant strikes the bell in the middle of the hall and gathers people's attention.

“King Lachnasha, the ruler of Manislan, will enter shortly!! All nobles, please take your seats! ”

There is a king living on the continent of Unicia that I have never actually seen.

What is the king of a country that is the pinnacle of all power? And what kind of man was Isabelle's father?

The moment I saw Baran sitting on one side, following the nobility with anticipation.

Chuck! Chuck!

Knights in golden glowing armor enter the entrance of the hall, making their way into the center.

‘Crazy... You made armor out of gold. It's not just a glowing yellow material. If she knew that, she'd be sparkling. ’

It's a little funny that those wearing such expensive armor were only used to make their way.

However, the other nobles wiped their smiles and bowed their heads to the ground.

I find it incredibly polite to believe they are full of arrogance.

“King Lachnasha, ruler of Manislan, is entering!! ”

At that moment, the royal acolyte loudly shouted the king's appearance, and a middle-aged man wearing a crown resembling Holly Crown came to the entrance of the hall.

The difference between the crown he wears and Holly Crown is that it's more colorful and has more jewelry.

‘The sacred crown was modeled after the crown worn by kings... It was real. ’

Then that middle-aged woman is Isabelle's father and King Lachnasha.

It's overwhelming.

King Lachnasha sits on a chair at the far end, past hundreds of nobles and servants.

The other nobles keep their heads down even as he sits in the chair, but I look straight at him with a translucent body.

‘It looks a little like Isabelle...’

King Lachnasha. He seemed to weigh quite a bit like the ruler of a country. A person who conquers countless nobles with just a strong eye.

Obviously, he had arrogance in his eyes, but oddly, he never looked arrogant.

That's funny, but isn't Isabelle in today? ’

Before attending the inauguration ceremony, I heard through Baran that I do not participate well in the inauguration ceremony except for the successor who will be king of the next generation, but I was disappointed when Isabelle was not seen.

‘I was going to surprise you. Hmm... They're all too busy to see Adolf. ’

It turned out that I didn't see the three Lofund, Abyon, and Cecilia members of the Garonne organization. Well, as long as you don't have to be an heir, it's an appointment.

“Begin.”

“Yes!”

The king who was looking at the nobles for a while gave the order, and his servants were busy moving around and handing out papers to the nobles.

After checking the paper, the nobles nod and move around.

“Hmm... I'm 47 times. That should do it. ”

Looking at him for a moment, a boy who appeared to be not yet a young man approached me and stood behind me.

And towards that boy, a boy of similar age approached with a happy look.

“Oh, Miles! Is that your back number, too? ”

“I see. You must be the back number, too! Haha!”

“Well, we're a local aristocrat, so we can't help it. I'm glad it's not the end. ”

I understood why they came to the corner of the hall thanks to those who came and talked to me.

"I see. Did you move in the order of appointment?" What about Lean... the third? ’

As the boys said, I thought Leanne would be at the forefront, but I was a little surprised.

So the black-haired boy in front of Lean and the brunette-haired boy are the offspring of a larger family than the Karsias.

“Then let's get started! Attention, all of you! ”

This time, the palace attendant shouted, not the palace attendant, but the fancy, complex custodian.

All eyes turn to the center of his voice, and he smiles as if enjoying the situation and opens his mouth with a paper.

“Hencaron, the hereditary successor of the Deferoan family, may you come forward! ”

The name of a family I've never heard of before.

Well, it's only natural that I don't know a few families.

The black-haired boy standing in front of the warden's shout walked to the king with a confident stride.

Chuck!

“Hencaron de Deferoan of the Deferoan family greets King Lachnasha, ruler of Manislan. ”

“Yes, Hencaron. I seem to remember seeing you with the Marquis of Defiance the other day, but you've grown up a lot. ”

“Thank you!”

A boy called Hencaron knelt on one knee a short distance from the king, and the king warmly said a few words.

And I and the nobles who were watching him. Exactly two boys in front of me whispered in small voices whether they were jealous of it.

“King Lachnasha, known as Iron Blood, has been so kind to me... I'm from the Deferoan family, the ruler of the south. ”

“Phew... Can we hear a word like that? ”

“This guy's looking forward to it. I'm glad we didn't have to do this by hand. ”

‘The ruler of the south... I see. The wealthiest south will outrank the Karsias. ’

It is true that no matter which kingdom you go to, the more abundant and relaxed you get away from monster dwellings.

In that regard, if the Deferoan family is in a position to be called the ruler of the south, it is said to be within five fingers of at least Manislan.

‘… It has nothing to do with me. I hope it's Lean's turn soon. ’

No matter how great the family is, it's just a family to me.

Even the single-fingered family in the Empire is nothing more than a scarecrow compared to Astiana Garon.

“Hmm...”

While yawning, I watched the king and Hencaron chat and looked at Baran for a moment.

He was looking at opportunities among the crowd with a nervous look to surprise Leanne's turn.

‘I'm more nervous to watch. ’

The moment Baran appears, it will go into the ears of the Countess who will be in the mansion. And when she finds out about it, she doesn't know what to expect.

Maybe we can use the Assassins to attack Baran again, and even if we don't, we won't stand for it.

If we don't do something about it, she'll know it's over.

‘And that's exactly what I want. ’

As soon as she moves, the Carsia Marquis is ready to take her into custody.

There's still no evidence that she was after Baran through the assassins, but from now on, she's gonna come up with new evidence.

‘You won't be able to move as thoroughly as you are in a state of urgency. And that will tighten her breathing. ’

As I was smiling at my satisfied plan, it was Lean's third turn.

“Umm... May Lean, the next successor of the Karsia family, come forward! ”

The moment Lean, who was expressionless in her manager's cry, stepped forward.

“Huh? Hey! Where are you going? ”

“He's from a family somewhere... Tsk, tsk. ”

Varane, who had changed his face among the nobles around him, walks out towards the center of the hall.

Seeing that, the nobles around him urgently tried to stop him, but Baran ignores them and puts his hands on the necklace around his neck.

Glug.

At the same time, his face turns blurry, and a few seconds later, he returns to his original appearance.

A handsome man with a cold look that doesn't match Baran's original personality.

“Ouch! Baran? How did he get here...”

“What? What are you talking about? If it's Baran, he's lying in Carsia's mansion. ”

“It's really Baran! I've actually seen him! He's definitely right. ”

The nobles see his face and sound surprised, and the commotion spreads to the center and reaches Lean's ears.

“Brother Baran? No way...”

Lean stops walking and looks at Baran with surprised eyes, her expressionless face just now.

“Are you sure about this, Brother Varane? ”

“Lian. It's been a long time. As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I fell down and couldn't say hello. I'm sorry. ”

“Brother!"

Lian runs to Baran, looking at him in disbelief for a moment and holds him in his arms.

With a crying face, throwing away the cold face that I had just been building.

Baran gives Lean a warm hug. He raises his head and nods at me.

“This place is clear. The Countess is all that's left. Liekah, I want to go to Cartier Manor. Is that possible? ”

Hmm... I don't know, the streets are pretty far apart. Shall we give it a try?

Unlike usual, you nod slightly at Rieka's voice, which sounds like a conversation through a communication station.

I told you that the erl's wife will take over, but I'm concerned about the association with Astia. Maybe Astia's playing tricks on us.

But even if Kaiyan goes himself, there's nothing else you can do. You know that, right?

“It's okay. I just thought I'd be able to make it to Harvest Mime in person. ”

Okay! Here we go! Please close your eyes for a moment, as you may feel dizzy.

My body is not my real body right now.

It's a fake body, almost like a fantasy created by the power of Rika. That's why Reflexa can't track it, but I can't use any power either.

No, actually, I could use a little bit of physical force, but it's only about the physical strength of a child.

Weeing!

Liekah closes her eyes, and her mind fades with the feeling of collapse.

‘For the sake of the Marquis Baran and Lean...’
