Episode 212

The sight of North Rolmund was as expected.

Most towns and villages appeared to be undamaged, but battle marks were visible near castles and forts attacked by the Eleora army.

Burnt-out buildings and fields can be found here and there. There were also vast vacant lots, which seemed to have buried many dead bodies.

From the nearby forest, there were signs of massively cutting down trees in a hurry, and river bridges had collapsed.

I don't know which army it was.

"It's not worse than I thought."

Mao looks around on the horse and mutters. It looks like he is relieved.

I nodded because I agree, but I'll add a little more.

"Maybe something was in the invisible part. I hope there is no damage to the hardware or human body."

Mao stared at my face and laughed curiously.

"It's interesting, you are"

"Really?"

"It's such a distant foreign and enemy territory. As far as I know, soldiers are pleased that enemy lands are badly damaged."

Essentially, I'm not a soldier.

I shrug my shoulders and turn it back.

"I'm not interested in fighting between humans. I'm a werewolf."

"Is that kind of thing?"

"Such a thing"

Did you let it go?

Along the way, I arrived at Kinjar Castle, contacting the army stationed for security.

The splendid castle that rises above the steep mountain is Kinjar Castle, the military base of the Dniesk family.

All nearby cities belong to the Dniesk family, which has already been seized by the Eleora army.

He heard that Elleora was on the forefront of the siege, so we immediately visited Eléora's headquarters.

"Long time, Lord Weid"

Eleora, who had passed through a fierce battle, was somewhat handsome. It is rude to say that a man is a man, but he can only express it.

"It seems that she has become even more sharp with the reign of her master, Eleora."

I was a little sorry because I was relaxing in the back.

Then Eleora smiled.

"What do you say. I was forced to struggle because you were rampaging backwards."

Is that kind of thing?

Then, young Eleanor nobles gathered one after another.

The armor and cloak that shined at the time of the formation are now exquisite in style with abrasions and dirt.

"Sir Weid, it's been a long time!"

"Congratulations to the big pattern that captures Prince Warroy!"

"We're protecting Eleanor, so we won't lose you."

Everyone has a fearless look.

The war is a facet that is not visible in peacetime, some of whom have defeated enemy commanders in one battle, others who have knocked down forts, and turned over Dniesk nobles.

Conversely, some have demonstrated their skills in logistics and occupation and governance, and are likely to be a reference for future talent appointments.

"Everyone seems to be assisting His Highness Eleoora.

Then everyone has a strange face.

No, it was really easy, right? I was able to focus on fighting Prince Warroy because I believed that Eléora would never lose.

"Hey, Lord Recoma ..."

"Oh, I know. I wasn't aware."

"It seems that this is not enough for Lord Weid."

"Isn't it okay to be rampaging again?"

Don't be afraid that things are going well.

Then Eleora coughed and told me:

"Your bad habits are coming out again, Lord Vaid"

"A bad habit?"

Elleora walks at me all the time and makes a troubled face.

"To underestimate your achievements, positions, and abilities. Rather, are you getting worse?"

I don't know much about it, but the same thing has been told by Prince Warroy, and when I thought about it, it was said long ago by the King.

"Yes, well ... everyone says that."

"Then accept it a little. Can you be a little proud of yourself?"

Hmm ...

In my case, I have the knowledge and experience I had in my previous life, and the wolf's great abilities. I met a wonderful teacher and learned magic, and my blessed boss and colleagues are blessed.

With this alone, everyone can do the same.

What am I to be proud of?

I do not understand.

Elleora sighed, more and more troubled.

"You seem to have your own evaluation criteria inside you, but also the terribly strict evaluation criteria."

"Yes ... maybe."

Elora nodded at my words and let the other nobles go down.

"I'm going to go to the army later. Please finish your duties by then."

"Hah!"

Eleora, who was alone with me, offered a chair while sighing.

"I know a little bit more about your upbringing than others. So can you tell me, are you hiding from me?"

I was excited to point out the sharp point.

She glanced at me while preparing her tea.

"Born in a hidden village in the depths of the sea of trees, learn magic while protecting the village from monsters many times. After that, he joined the Demon King Army and succeeded in capturing and occupying the trading city Lünheit.

"Ah"

I miss you.

"And I pulled Lünheit to the Demon Army and eventually brought all of the southern side of Milardia to my side. I tried to get the northern side allies, but stopped it, captured it, and united it."

"Yes."

It's relatively recent, but it seems to be a long time ago.

Then Eleora sighed again.

"In other words, your half-life is a streak of consecutive victories. It would be normal if it grew, but you would usually be more aware of your achievements and positions."

Looking back, it certainly worked so well.

Well not my credit.

At that moment, I am crammed at Eleora.

"So why do you think it's not your credit?"

"Don't read my thoughts"

This guy is sharp.

But Eleora does not loose his pursuit.

"Your self-esteem is low, it's a thought peculiar to those who have been badly beaten in the past, but as far as I know, there's no such thing in your career. "

Wow, this guy is approaching my previous life.

I don't want to remember anymore.

I answer this while sweating cold on my back.

"I don't want to lie to you, so don't ask any more."

It could be tricked appropriately, but it would be useless in front of Eleora's keen insight.

Eleora looked sad, but smiled.

"I've done useless prying. Sorry."

"No, only me"

I don't think there's anything wrong with telling Eleanora the truth, but it's hard to get to understand.

And I don't want to remember much.

Eleora silently presents a teacup in front of me. This is the tea that Her Imperial Highness brewed.

"Thank you"

I take a sip of it with steam and think about various things that I usually don't think about.

Eleora looked at me and said,

"You're probably only looking ahead. I'm not interested in past victories or glory. I'm just thinking about what to do next. I'll take that guy."

"... It would be helpful if you thought so."

Indeed, it's clear that you can't afford to look back.

Even now, there is no time to relax.

"So, Elora, I have to do the next thing: rescue Prince Ruinier."

Then Eleora sighed.

"I've been considering that possibility since I heard I'm here. Is rescuing difficult when you're rescued?"

"I know. But this was a bargaining stake for Prince Warroy's cooperation. Now that there is no penalty for going wrong, you have to keep your promise for your honor."

Judging from Rolmund's common sense, or from my previous history, there is no way to save Prince Lünier. He is a rebel's son.

But Prince Lünier himself did nothing, and he had no way to stop this conspiracy.

But you have to die.

Isn't that unreasonable?

I drink a cup of tea and grin like a villain.

"Above all, if we could secure a male prince, would we still be able to cause confusion in Lorumund? I came to cause confusion in Lorumund."

A perfect theoretical armament.

I'm an evil minion, trying to threaten the sorry princess and confuse her neighbors.

I'll do a lot of bad things.

But Eleora laughs strangely for some reason.

"That's as usual, you are"

what?

"You are always like that. That's why I trust you."

So what?

Eleora continued with a smile, tracing the edge of the teacup with her fingertips.

"If you decide, I can't stop you. Let's cooperate as an ally. Convene skilled lawyers from the Origanian family. Leave me secular things to me."

"Thank you, thank you."

In Rolmund, Eleanor is my boss.

It would be great if she could cooperate.

When I got up, I told Eleora.

"After the battle is over, the battle with the Ashleys awaits. Securing the Dniesks will help you."

I'm saying it myself, is it really helpful?

I think it's more of a nuisance, but let's do our best.

That's my responsibility for Eleora and Warroy, and for Miraraldia.

As my responsibilities continue to increase, I have no time to look back on the past ...
