Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 266: Tears in the Eye of the Ghost
The Fladime country has two taboos.
"The death of the king's brother in the throne of every two kings, which shall not be touched in the fladime."
This is the first thing that a person serving Castle Alisne can be taught, and has been secretly conveyed among servants for the past few decades. A king here is, needless to say, King Ribbon, and his servants fear him. Not much, and now this topic never comes up before King Ogata.
Almost all the great halls of Castle Alisne, the capital, all the nobles who were in Orbisse, and the servants and women who served the castle, were gathered together and filled with people without room for cones. Nonetheless, this room is surrounded by silence as if there were no people. Everyone is killing their breath and standing still without being slight.
Set in the back of the room, a stage-high place rests three thrones, in the middle of which King Maintia, the king, sits with the same no-horn expression as usual. He looks satisfactorily at the faces of those strained by tension, while his righteous queen sits in the lower seat, but she leans down with her fan against her mouth as she pales her face. If you look closely, her shoulders are up and down into small pieces.
"What do you think, you draw a lot?
King Maintier releases his words as he glances at Chirali and the throne of good. But there's nobody there.
Needless to say, King Ribbon was supposed to be sitting on that seat. But he stands behind the throne of King Maintia, turning his back on the servants in line. At the end of his gaze was adorned a giant painting, which, needless to say, was that of the Cabaret family, written up by the king at Agarta at the end of his restless sleep. And before that, he was also worshipped by a dagger whose cabaret was enclosed.
King Maintia, who returned home, also gave an order there to gather all the nobles of Orbisse and their servants in the castle of Alisne immediately in the Great Hall. King Ogami was surprised, but came all the way from the recluse hall to this room in a way that entailed a different atmosphere and was pushed off by his son, who made a soft but powerful statement. And the king, who made sure that they were all in place, opened his mouth in all likeness.
"Everyone, for a year, has often defended this country and the castle. Thank you. Thanks to you I was in Agarta, gaining a lot of knowledge and learning a lot. As for chasing stories about it, I want to show everyone here first.... Patterson"
King Maintier turns a blind eye to Patterson, who had refrained beside him. And he went out through the doors beside him with a bow of grace. Then, so much less, the curtains decorating the back of the throne quietly open.
... There was a huge painting set up there. Moreover, there was a brilliant portrayal of Cabaret, the late brother of King Ogami, and his wife.
People breathed in the less splendour of the painting, but on the other hand, when they found out it was the Cabaret family that was being painted, they froze for a while to the point that they could not exhale their inhaled breath. With a smile on his face to enjoy such an atmosphere, the king slowly looks back on his throne. And in a way that could be attached to it, his righteous queen and King Ogami looked back.
After a period of silence, the righteous queen quickly turned to the front and leaned down with a fan on her mouth, as if she had seen something she should not have seen. The king watches the sight with a gentle grin. At that time King Ogami slowly rises and approaches the painting.
"... what are you going to do?
A majestic voice echoes all over the room. If you look closely, King Ogami's fist is firmly gripped and faintly trembling. The gathered people are admiring and watching what horrible things are going to happen.
"That's what I'm saying, Father."
A noisy voice echoes. King Ogami keeps staring at the painting without even moving with Pickle. I can only see his back from the servants, but it was easy to imagine that the face was in such a terrible shape that it was unlike anything in the world.
"As for what happened to Cabaret's uncle, it's as Agarta wrote to me. I don't think I should drive my uncles to the other side of oblivion. To that end, we…"
"On your own."
Without listening to the king until the end, King Ogami made sure to throw up and throw away, and then left the room behind with a bumpy look on his face. The king dropped off the look with a soft smile, as usual.
"... your father said that too. Come on. Now, all of you. Today I intend to restore the honor of my uncle, Cabaret, and his wife, his aunt, Meetia, his son, Gregorn. Therefore, the uncle of Cabaret restores him to the position of Duke, and also bestows the position of Duke upon his son Gregorn. And I'm going to build a grave dedicated to them"
The majority of those gathered knew about the cabaret. Everyone is astonished by the words of this king when they open their eyes. The king goes on to say more as he sees things like that.
"My uncle preferred glorious things. Plain graves like royalty would not be preferred. Right...... museum. Yes, I will exhibit something that my uncle's virtues will hold. And let's make sure everyone visits there. Naturally, it is forbidden to take money, such as entrance fees. Let's decorate it with this painting and dagger."
With a satisfying look on his face, the king looks back again and looks at the Cabaret family paintings.
"One more thing... Count Nesium Parents & Sons"
The king who looked back called his name. Then a small, magnificent man emerged from the people in line and a boy who still remained unobtrusive.
"Ha... here"
"Today, I will prescribe kick-boo as a national skill for the Fradime country. Earl learned to kick your uncle's ass from a very young age, didn't he? From now on, I want the Count to focus on spreading Kikuju, my uncle's and my country's tradition of pulling."
"Ha... Ha! I risked my life..."
Parents and children shudder and bow their heads. With a satisfying look on his face, the king gave an order early in the arrow about the tomb of the new cabaret to be made.
... that night, in a large hall where no one, there could not be, one man stood. The light of the full moon slipping through the skylight dimly illuminates the room. The man, wondering what kind of bump and spell he had, generated a small chunk of light over his palm and floated it in the air.
"... I miss you. I was not good at magic at all. When you were a kid, this is how you used to brighten up your room."
What, King Ribbon was the one squealing like a blur and a solitaire. He looks at the painting in nostalgia, with a small voice, whining even more.
"... I thought I'd never see you again, but I didn't expect to see you in this way"
With that said, he took a dagger that was worshipped before the painting. I couldn't pull the sword out for the seal, but he still strokes the dagger lovingly.
"... Cabaret. Why didn't you apologize to Non then? Brother, I'm sorry. If you'd told me that, I would have saved your life. That's because... you're being mean. You punish other nobles severely for not listening, but there's no way you can just forgive them. Non... Non... didn't want to lose him. That's why he sent a letter to apologize to Nong. That's... that's... that's... No, I did something sorry. Nevertheless, to Lord Meatier and to Gregorn. But I had no choice. I had no choice..."
King Ogami exhales slowly. And gently touch the painting, opening your mouth.
"... Cabaret. What was I supposed to do? And what do we do now? None of the servants have an opinion. Like that, there are those who gloat. Was what Non did right? Cabaret, tell me. What can I do to keep my servants open? How can my son talk to me? Non... I don't know. Cabaret, tell me. Please... please..."
In the Great Hall, where no one was present, King Ogami continued to shed large tears for some time.
It was not until the day after that that that King Ogami offered to provide King Maintier with his own hiding place for the art museum of Cabaret….
