Running Away From The Hero!

# 50 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“I knew it, Ast. I trusted you. ”

The princess said that everything had gone according to plan, and I just nodded with a shivering look.

“Thank you."

“As expected, there is no talent but an astronaut to turn a man's clothing upside down. ”

This time, the Empress said that Lord Leah and many other generals around her nodded.

“Thank you, Your Majesty? ”

Once I said thank you, I had no choice but to question it.

Was the compliment I received now a pure compliment, or was it spun around to pick on me?

As usual, it is clear that they are picking on me, but I am not sure because there are other humans around.

I hope you're not picking on me in front of all those people.

The Princess' toughness isn't that bad... right? I think it is, isn't it?

“The enemy has been taunted. More pissed off than I thought. ”

Like the Empress said, the letter I've been working so hard for has finally begun to work.

If you look at the letter filled with the Wrath of the Master and the busy movements of the soldiers observed in the enemy camp, you will know that the enemies are preparing for an attack, as long as they are not fools.

By the way, the opponent seems to lack patience.

I just sent her a letter worrying about her welfare, but I didn't think I'd be ready to attack in this anger.

No, if I had lied, I would have understood, but the letter contained only the information that the spies had uncovered.

It is not a lie that the master's father cheated on him with a young woman, but it is real.

He was angry at me for worrying about the situation when he suddenly had to greet his stepmother when he was 40.

At this rate, I felt the opponent was too strong.

“Now we can greet the enemy. ”

“Then my work is done. ”

I've done you a favor, but I'm about to rush in with a little anger.

Taunt the enemy, which the Empress has ordered! ’The mission was completed so lightly.

A person who has done one thing on his own needs rest!

And Howling, the evil organization, keeps this law.

“No? I have more work to do. ”

The Caran Empire, the continent's most important country, was not defended.

There's more where that came from!

“What's going on? ”

You hear loud noises around you.

When I heard the sound, I thought it was blasphemous, even though I was favored by the Queen Dowager.

I must have made such a grumpy face.

“Very important work. ”

However, it seemed that the princess did not care at all.

He kept his pace and gave me a job.

“What is it? ”

“We need to raise the morale of the soldiers. ”

“That……. ”

I wanted to ask myself why, but I had to keep my mouth shut from the eyes of the people staring at me around.

They're not normal people.

Most of them were middle-aged, muscular, top military, or knight-made.

There are those who say a pen is stronger than a knife. Stab it.

It's just a pain level unless you get stabbed in the eye.

But a knife hurts no matter where it hurts.

The knife is much stronger than the pen when it's far away.

And all those middle-aged guys with knives.

“Can I do that? ”

So there's an automatic positive answer!

“Yes, you can do it. ”

I was aiming. I'm sure I was aiming.

The smile on that mouth was clear that I had moved because I knew I was going to do this.

“There are many who are better than me. Wouldn't that be more appropriate for them? ”

It was a hassle.

In the military, General Felstein, the so-called pillar of the empire, died. That was intense, too.

If he tried to avoid it, he could have avoided it, but he gave his life to defend Pesra Castle.

And that's the result of wiping out most of the enemy's troops!

He used to be a general who exemplified soldiers, and the process of death was not uncommon for the heroes of the empire.

His death brought Pesra Castle back, as well as the frontier he had taken.

The enemy commander, who lost most of his troops, either lost his commander and decided it was hard to stop the angry soldiers and returned to their strongholds.

Everything seems to have ended well, but your fury soon turned to grief.

Officers were ashamed that they survived with General Felstein, and they were saddened that they had nothing to do with their greatness.

Thanks to you, your morale is getting weaker even though this is a victory or battle.

When I first met them, I was mistaken for a Straggler.

You want me to raise the morale of those soldiers?

It was nonsense.

“We can boost their morale if we leave it to them. ”

“Then why don't we leave it to them? ”

I was originally a vassal of the Empress, not a soldier.

Taunting the enemy can be done with a letter, so it was too much work to lead the soldiers directly.

Yeah, it's too much. Absolutely not!

“But if you leave it to them, it's going to take time. Spending your anger on the enemies while talking about General Felstein should prevent this attack, but in the long run it will be a bad outcome. ”

“Then we should get it over with." ”

“Your opponent is the Kingdom of Mercia. The Kingdom of Mercia is one of the most decorated military forces on the continent. Even for an empire, it won't be enough to end it in a short time. ”

So, the princess said to the soldiers that the emotion of fast-consuming anger must be evoked by other emotions.

It was all true. Even the guys around me who ate a lot of time nodded their heads.

My lady, what a wonderful and clever woman.

I can't believe how young people think!

It would be great if it weren't for me! Why are you making me do my job?

“That mission... do you think I can do it? ”

I could barely open my fluttering lips.

“Yes.”

And the answer came back very quickly, as if it hadn't gone through the brain.

Wow... I barely said it, but it's too easy to answer.

It's all on your side now, isn't it?

You're crushing them into ranks, aren't you?

“Well, is it? ”

“Yes, I believe in asts. ”

I did not ask what it means to believe for my mental health.

She was a princess who knew me too well in just a few years.

We should postpone a good servant in a situation where so many people are watching.

Otherwise, you can get poached and get at least a matchbook.

Even now, as the commander of the army and deputy, there will be even more severe penalties waiting for him.

It's filthy. I've been running around in the middle of this, except for my previous military life!

The commander of the platoon jumped into the bathroom to remind me of the time I had to brief him.

“Can you do it? ”

I can't do it.

Usually I would say that, but this was an army.

I had to nod to the empress who made me realize that.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Your Highness' order... will surely succeed. ”

Yeah, we're gonna have to. That's what military life is!

... But I don't know how to handle it!

# 51 Their Reason: Leah Reel Arrays' Reason

“Will it be all right, Your Majesty? ”

“Somehow. ”

Your Majesty is too peaceful.

Normally, it was not right when the war was coming.

“Do you think Lord Ast can do it? ”

It reminds me of Sir Ast, who was filled with complaints.

It was quiet by looking around. If it was just you and me, as usual, there would have been a lot of commotion.

But the scarier thing is,

“Lord Ast genuinely accepted your last words. ”

Lord Astor meant what he said at the end.

“Yes, so I can trust you more. When Ast did that, he got the job done, right? ”

You were right.

He was Sir Ast, who always complained that he was a pain in the ass, but when he really tried to get things done, he brought good results.

Even the Imperial Court didn't come up with their favorite promotional speed for nothing.

However,

“But I also remember that the aftermath was very large. ”

Whenever Sir Ast brought good results, many events followed.

Why are you at war with the Kingdom of Mercia now?

Although the entire continent was at war, it was because the Kingdom of Mercia assassinated several Imperial diplomats, including my ex-fiancée.

It was Ser Ast who discovered that it was the Kingdom of Mercia.

Though he was destined to fight against the Kingdom of Mercia, Ser Ast would have fought in a far future if he hadn't found the culprit of the diplomat assassination.

“It may not be right to send Lord Ast away now. ”

If the war had been postponed, General Felstein might not have died.

Of course, it's just a fantasy in my head.

If Sir Ast hadn't found out that the Kingdom of Mercia was the culprit, there could have been a bigger tragedy.

What I thought was an absurd assumption, a blasphemy against Sir Ast.

But General Felstein was one of the military's symbols enough to make me think that.

Although the military and the Knights were not very good, General Felstein was respected even by the Knights.

I couldn't even imagine the shock of the officers and soldiers who served him directly.

“Sir Ast was too dangerous a choice. ”

It was Lord Ast who didn't know where to splash.

It's unlikely, but if Lord Astor makes a false statement about General Felstein, fraud can be worse than it is now.

“Why don't you change it now? Your troops have many excellent commanders. ”

There were no masters like General Felstein, but they still ruled many troops. It would be better to use them safely than uncertain factors such as Sir Ast.

I was sure of that, but he shook his head.

“I've already given it to Ast. ”

“Your Majesty……. ”

“Trust the astronaut. But he does it when he does it, right? ”

I couldn't say anything to His Highness who was smiling and talking.

He really believes in Sir Ast.

I can't believe you trust someone who doesn't trust people well... I didn't want to break it.

But of all the people in all the world, you believe in Sir Ast!

About last year, Your Majesty, an axe you believe in would have put a foot in the top of your foot! 'Sir Ast, you said so confidently!

“Your Majesty……. ”

Why would you trust a man like Sir Ast?

I wanted to say it out loud, but I couldn't say it out loud.

“Your Grace... I will trust Lord Ast. ”

I had no choice but to believe in your choice.

“Thank you, Leah. ”

It was the first time in my life that I lied to you of my own free will.

“No, Your Majesty. ”

However, if I can protect your smile with my lies, I will always lie to you and protect your smile.

That is my loyalty to the charge that even gave up my life for the Empire, and my oath as a knight.

So, Ser Ast, please repay your faith.

And let me not be disappointed in you.

So the next day.

The 13 legions who lost their commander and were handed over to the Queen Dowager and all her reinforcements were gathered.

And at the end of their gaze was Sir Ast.

With tens of thousands of men in front of us, will Sir Astor be able to speak properly?

If you were to take it out, what consolation would you offer to the grieving soldiers who lost their commander?

I looked behind Ser Astor, filled with anticipation and concern.

Please, I don't want you to succeed, but did you notice how I was begging you not to?

Lord Ast's voice is heard from a magical device set up for tens of thousands of troops to hear.

General Felstein is dead! No more!

“Ah……. ”

I think we're screwed, Your Grace.
