Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 216

I arranged to bury the corpses of the assassins and decided to leave the village. Long stay is useless.

I and Prince Lünier face each other in a carriage escorted by the werewolf squad with the Milaldia flag raised.

I spoke as brightly as possible to cheer the sinking Prince Lünier.

"I don't know what the people of Rolmund think, but my father was a fine man."

"... Thank you, Lord Vaid"

Prince Ivan's rebellion has led to his defeat, so for many Rolmunds it would be annoying.

Unlike the loss of his father as usual, Prince Lünier is exposed to the cold gaze of the public.

On the contrary, there are many who try to kill him.

It is a great situation.

But Prince Lünier looked up and looked straight at me.

"Why does Lord Vite hide me? The grandfather always said, 'Beware of those who are kind for no reason; there is always a reason.'"

That's right, you have to be wary of strangers.

I was wondering how to answer, but Prince Lünier is an adult, albeit only in form.

Let's face each other as a man alone.

"That's exactly what Dniesk said. There are three reasons I helped His Highness."

As Prince Lünier looked up at me with a nervous look, I told her with a serious face and tone.

"The first is because it's a condition to get cooperation from His Highness."

"What about your uncle? Oh, that ??"

I smile at Prince Lünier, whose eyes are crackling with age-appropriate reactions.

"His Highness is alive. Like Lünier, I keep it hidden."

"really!?"

Forget about his circumstances for a moment and Prince Lünier smiles. The immediate family was still alive. I'm glad.

I continued, thinking about his chest.

"His Highness has a strong influence not only on the Dniesk army, but also on the nobility and the people of Northern Lorumund. It is important to me, and he is very lawful."

Prince Lunier thinks a little, and then stares at me, who is afraid to look up.

"I'm gonna sell my uncle to me ...?"

"Yes"

I smile.

"And the second is this."

I took out a parquet knight statue from Prince Ivan.

"Oh, that's ..."

I'll explain that Prince Lünier was surprised.

"Before the fall of Kinjar Castle, I was able to meet Himself secretly, and she would benefit me if I handed it to Lünier."

I say so and notice it.

"... Illustrator Ivan passed on me and died. I couldn't save myself."

Sorry, Lunier.

It was only a moment, but I was expecting it.

As expected, Prince Lünier is deeply and quietly saddened.

As expected, it is impossible to rebel himself. He must take responsibility for what he has done.

"Lünier, I respect Him. I don't know what the Lorumunds say, but Ivan is deeply knowledgeable, foresighted, responsible, honest and brave. was"

Later historians would give such an evaluation, perhaps after a thousand years. At least the next hundred years will be treated as a villain.

Prince Lünier was looking down for some time, as if my words were surprising.

Then shook his shoulders, squeeze his voice and weep.

"I'm sorry, I don't know ... Dniesk's man, tears ... Show me ... Don't, don't ... Father, Father ...

A drop drips on his pants.

I felt sorry, but I don't know how to comfort a high-ranking person.

So I had to look away and say:

"Please be assured, I am looking out of the window now."

I could cry as much as I could here, but Prince Lünier never cried out.

I remember Prince Ivan while watching the snow outside the window.

He is at least loved and respected by his son. I don't know if he was a good leader, but he certainly was a good father.

Can I someday be such a good man?

Feeling calm down, I turned my gaze. He handed him a parquet knight.

"Please, Lunier"

"Thank you……"

After scrubbing the red eyes, Prince Lünier gazes at the statue of the knight.

"Sir Um Weid, this is my grandfather ... a secret knight statue of Dniesk."

"A secret?"

"Yes, this way ..."

His thin little finger presses on one part of the pedestal.

Then one of the parquets was pushed inside.

Then he flips the knight statue and pushes the bottom of the pedestal. Once again, one of the parquets is pushed inside.

From there, it seemed that they were watching the quick solution of the three-dimensional puzzle.

"That's how ... well, it was like this ..."

Prince Lünier pushes and pulls the knight statues in turn with a serious expression.

The parquet seemed to me to be tightly assembled, but at the moment Prince Lunier slid down the foot of the knight statue, the pedestal of the knight statue fell apart without warning.

`` Awful !? ''

On the boy's lap are pieces of wood that have fallen apart.

But one of them was metallic.

Silver earrings with many blue gems. If you look closely, it has the shape of a flower like a lily. The jewel was cut into petals.

Prince Lünier gazes at the earring when he picks it up.

"This is what my father gave to my mother before marriage. One was buried with her, and the other took care of me much."

Good witness ...

Apparently, this knight statue was a secret accessory case.

I've seen something similar in the past. Did you make it a pedestal of a knight statue so you don't notice that it is a box?

Prince Ruinier picks up the earrings and looks strange.

"This is important to me and my dad, but I've heard it's not that expensive."

In other words, isn't this earring itself the "profit" that Prince Ivan said?

"If so, Lunier, is this a clue. Could you tell me what you know?"

Then Prince Lünier nodded, and began to talk about digging his memories.

"Um ... this is the earring for" Knight Yuri "and it seems that my mother was my favorite flower."

"Is it a knight lily? A name I've never heard of in Miraraldia."

"A red lily flower. It's so called because it's often used in the coat of arms of Knight Rolmund."

It is strange that blue jewels are used for the petals, although they imitate red lilies.

I was a little worried, but decided to keep silent so as not to break my talk. The attitude of listening is important because Prince Lünier is still a child.

"My father took great care of the knight lily and had a special flowerbed built for her mother's grave."

That may be some hint.

"Where is my mother's grave and its flowerbed?"

"A villa near Kinjar Castle. Next to my mother's grave."

Okay, let's also visit the grave.

It is unlikely that Prince Lünier will remain in North Lolmund, and this may be the last grave visit.

In addition, Prince Lünier spoke of his parents' memories. It didn't seem like a clue, but I remember it and remembered the late Prince Ivan.

The story soon reached his grandfather, Dniesk, and Prince Lunie said:

"I wanted this grandfather's parquet, so he promised to give him parquet for his next birthday."

Prince Lünier continues, returning the fragmented pedestal.

"My father was busy with this battle, but he always said he would give parquet instead of his grandfather."

I try to make him smile to force him to comfort.

"Your Highness and Ivan Dniesk kept their promises."

"Yes. But I'd rather have a father and grandfather alive than a promise ..."

At that time, the pedestal being assembled collapsed in his small palm.

"Oh ... sorry ..."

An increasingly depressed boy looking at wooden parts scattered on the floor.

When I got up from my seat, I sat down and picked up the parts, one of which was presented to Prince Lünier.

"Please, Lunier, it's an important item."

"Oh, thank you, Lord Weid"

It's unlikely I can encourage or comfort him.

So I laughed mischievously and said,

"By the way, you haven't talked about the third reason I helped your Highness yet."

"Ah, yes. I didn't ask."

As Prince Lünier nodded at me, I said in a small voice to confide a serious secret.

"It's ... secret."

"e?"

I show my boy who has black and white eyes to wink.

"It's sweet if you can tell me anything, Your Highness. I'm a small villain from a foreign country who plans to use her."

"Um, what is it ..."

Not sure how to react, Prince Lünier is completely rigid.

I took his hand and gently put a piece of parquet on his little palm.

"Beware of me, as if you are stepping on thin ice, because, like your grandfather and dad, your Highness is a Dniesk man."

"Yes, yes ... that?"

If you are told to be cautious and nod obediently, you will not enter while you are cautious.

I laugh and sit down on my seat and look out the window.

Father?

...... I'm doing fine, King.
