Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 96: Tamaki
"I don't believe in Russia..."
(d) Chancellor of the Principality of Niza, Yury finally spewed out the words from the bottom of his belly. Next to it lies King Dwarf lying in bed, and beside him is the blue-faced Princess Considi.
Next to me is May and Ferris, Luara. And there's one gray-haired old man.
"... after all, the Deer God didn't abandon us Dwarves."
King Dwarf groans in a weak voice. Tears were telling on those cheeks.
The Dwarves were stunned. That would be so. Because Shika, who I thought was my enemy, was actually on my side.
The dwarves treasured the water that purifies the water created by the Lecornais. Originally, the water used to refine the ore was dirty and the water quality of the river flowing through the Principality of Niza was poor because of the smell. For this reason, mountain springs were used in this country for drinking and agricultural water. For this reason, there were limits to producing crops.
But if the water in the river is clean, the story is different. Because you won't have to bother to go all the way to the mountains to get spring water. And furthermore, by using the water in that river, cultivated land can be expanded. The Dwarves were ecstatic.
In the Principality instant arable land was opened and crop seeds and seedlings planted. And the earth, which was ever a meadow, was stunningly filled with crops.
At this time, below King Dwarf, everyone living in the Duchy of Niza was convinced of the further leap and development of this country. It was then that the Sika damage occurred.
"The Deer God has made you aware that this crop is mixed with poison when he happens to be mouthed with a crop provided by a nearby peasant. And I was instantly enlightened. That this will be the culprit of Dwarf's death."
"But if the water in the river is poisoned, aren't we going to die? This is how we live, though?
"Yeah, that poison isn't immediate, it's what you accumulate in your body. Whether you drink water from a river that has been invaded by poisonous water or not, you will accumulate poison in your body even if you eat crops made using that river's water."
"So all the people of our country are invaded by poison!
"No, I believe the poison damage to the people is negligible so far"
"What does that mean?
"The Principality did not draw the river water all the way to the town because it focused first on the opening of the meadows. The people basically seem to have been drinking the same spring water in the mountains as before, so the poison damage seems to be minimal."
"It seemed to me that Deer God could not find out that the crop was being invaded by poison and feed these to the people. And by eating the crop yourself, the people were prevented from being poisoned."
"Do you say that all those hundreds of herds of sea lions are orders of the Deer God!
"No, it wasn't an order, it was the deer god himself"
"What do you mean?
"The Deer God was making a differentiated sari, a herd. Every one of them was the deer god himself."
"Stupid..."
"In the end, the country fell into a food shortage and received food support from countries, but the damage to the people was minimal because it was non-poisoned food"
"Then why are only the royalty, headed by the king, laid down in disease?
"Aren't those royal palace fields I tied the line on, that were growing crops dedicated to royalty? Besides, wasn't that water pulled from the river?
"Ts... it's..."
"In the end, the damage was most concentrated on those royals who drank poisoned river water and continued to eat poisoned crops."
"We nobles, too, have lived longer with relief supplies, as have our subjects, so we do not know what that means... So... so... how does Master Considi explain it? From what I've seen, it looks healthy..."
"Master Considi was born with a strong poison resistance. It's invaded by poison, but it's still in its infancy."
"Why is Master Considity the only one who has such resistance? Isn't that strange!
"What the Chancellor says is most appropriate. You should explain this to yourself."
"I'm giving Considity my protection. I promised Summersche I'd give the royal family protection when the princess was born."
"Sa, summerche!? No way, the Empress of the First King... You are."
"It's Tiyos."
With his eyes wide open, Yury saw a portrait hanging on the wall behind him. I see, a little young, but someone just like Tiyos is depicted.
"Can you give it to me in the Duke King... No way. Live..."
Dwarf royalty is a male lineage, from generation to generation. It is unusual for women to be born, and even if we look at the thousands of years of history so far, only four women were born in the Dwarf royal family, including this Duchess Considity.
About 1000 years ago, a crisis strikes the Dwarf royal family. The contemporary King Dwarf died young. Only Princess Summersche was left alone, but at the time she fell in love with Deer God Tiyos and lived quietly in the Nizza Forest.
But because the situation was a circumstance, King Dwarf was given the status of Summersche as Empress, and Tiyos as Duke. Then he entered the royal palace and remained in that capacity in a position to assist the empress. For this reason Tijos became known as the "Duke King".
Years later, a child is born between this "Duke King" and the "Empress," whose descendants lead to the present Dwarf King. The current attitude towards Sika was also defined by this summer-she.
"At that time, the demons in the woods were very tough. If you lived in my forest and defeated the demons, this country would have been ravaged."
Deer god Tiyos misses his chin mustache at the time.
"What this Lord Linos said is true. There would have been more, but this is all I can think of, forgive me. After Summersche died, I thought I was never going to look like a person again, but that's all I really wanted to apologize for. Even though I promised Summershee that I would protect the royal family, I have made my grandson so far the king. Forgive me."
"Ugh... just because I'm impudent... I have..."
King Dwarf does not even try to wipe his tears, but squeezes out his words.
"Fine. Fine. But that poison was awesome. I've decided to die, too. I'm proud to live with that poison and think about my country."
King Dwarf is crying.
"And Lord Linos' junction is wonderful, too. I don't think there's that much damage to my body when I get out of it. Life expectancy has diminished in that junction."
"Just kidding."
"No, it's true my body was scratched. I guess that junction isn't all we got, huh? I'm sure God can't invade that line."
"Thank you"
"Now, King Dwarf, there are still a lot of things you have to do to do. You must not die here."
"Oh, my word, Duke King. My body is the earliest... and then there's the..."
"No, then no. Still alive. There are other medicines to cure the poison. And that's how I met you with that medicine."
"King, I refrain from this is my wife, Maurice. My wife made it. Antidote, please summon me. Dear Yury, take care of this medicine for the royals who are lying ill."
I give Chancellor Yury the medicine Mae made.
"Drink that, it's painful for a while, but it lets you spit out all the poison in your body. Lord Maurice is the best medicine. Drink with confidence."
King Dwarf silently contained May's medicine in his mouth.
He was a king who seemed to groan painfully for a while, but with the help of May, he also poisoned well. He seemed to simmer more poison than he thought, and he kept spitting poison for quite some time. Thanks to the shame, the sheets on the bedroom had become so dirty.
Finally the groaning that seemed painful subsided, and the king began to sleep with Suyasuya.
"I think we're good now. However, the effect of the poison is that the body's bones are brittle. I need absolute rest for a while. It will take about a year for the bones to come back to normal, but after that you will be able to return to normal life"
"Thanks, May"
Seeing the sight, Chancellor Yury popped out of the room. Probably went to distribute those pills to the royals.
"Lady Considi, please call."
The princess, staring at the medicine she was given, slowly looks at my face.
"As for the damage to Sika, I understand very well. But it's not the story that you murdered Dr. Lecornais. In our current story, didn't the doctors intentionally make that poison? If so, wouldn't Master Birtherm have killed someone without sin?
I look at May. And take a deep sigh.
"This... is something I don't really want to say, and I'm talking about feeling sick... Okay, let's talk about it."
May looks at me with a surprised look. And the king's sleep has stopped at some point. From the bedroom window there was a view of the city floating in the purple mornings.
