Episode 155: One act after the battle

As Rio looked up into the sky, he took a small breath and looked back broadly behind him. There stands Duran, the first prince of the Kingdom of Palladia, where the knights that Rio has repelled lie, with claw marks of intense combat. Also a short distance away stood three people: Will, Donner and the village chief.

(... what's wrong)

And Rio conceived it somewhat badly. I guess it's best to walk away with a strange face like this, but will Duran allow it right next door? That's how you run your gaze across the scene while you patrol...

(... Huh?

Breathe painfully, Flora's face falling to the ground enters her sight and gazes open. Flora and I met a while ago at a nightclub, and until recently, we had been acting with my sister Christina, and she looked familiar to me for her eye-catching appearance. But for that overly blurry outfit...

(No, but you can't be alone in a place like this... right? Village girl......? Why are you falling?

And, half-heartedly, rethink. But the girl still falling there was far too much like the royal girl that Rio knew - similar in appearance to Flora-Bertrum. Once Rio tried to walk away to see if it was him...

"... your name is like Rio."

Unexpectedly, Duran spoke to Rio.

"... Yep"

When Rio stops on his feet perfectly, he responds to Duran with slight vigilance. Then...

"... to Palladia, no, are you not willing to serve me?

Duran suddenly said that.

"............ what?

Rio is accidentally taken aback and eaten.

"I'm suggesting you don't serve me. Money, status, woman? Any of them, I'm gonna give you the best I can get you?

Duran has a serious face, and he starts scouting Rio...

"No, I refuse,"

Rio said no clearly and instantly.

"Mmm... well listen. I'm suddenly wondering what you're going to say. If it's goodwill, I'm serious. Let me declare that I have no intention of hostility with your lord."

Duran speaks majestically and eats down.

…………

Is Rio having trouble reacting, or is he on guard, or is he silently looking to Duran? Then...

"What, you look like this and you have a good eye. I understand the difference between my strength and my strength. I'm not stupid enough to distinguish the meaning of assault and jade crushing, and I'm not a hot enough man to compel him to assault your lord. In the first place, he doesn't have a stepdad like that."

And, Duran let Eagle Deep talk.

"... I can't read your thoughts"

Rio sighs small and opens his mouth.

"I'm just saying that my relationship with him is between a prince and a mercenary in a country. There were a few things that made me feel comfortable, and I planned to continue my business relationship in the future, but I knew very well that I was a man who would buy resentment from people. He was killed because he was weak."

Duran first revealed his position firmly in order to de-alert Rio.

(... this man, is he the prince of this country?

When Rio was struck by Duran's qualities...

"Honestly, that's a wish at the point where you feel comfortable with that guy"

I shook it without a nibble.

"Ha, you think I'm a bastard walking the outside road just like that guy? No, I'm not. It's a hegemony I'm trying to walk. I'll take it if I want, and Lucius and I share values in the sense that power is justice, but I'm not as bad of a hobby as he is, and I'm not a bad eater. Well, I can't deny I'm a tyrant."

That's what Duran says, and he carves a grin at it.

(Hi, don't go crazy)

and Rio first put his sword in the sheath of his hip-,

"Even though it was an animal, how quickly would you like to hold a strange man who killed a facial acquaintance?

I scratched my head like a hundred million bucks and asked. Some princes were fond of it.

"However, it would be the hegemony of cloudy merging and swallowing. Besides, I don't hate the weak, but I like the strong. Even if I want it."

"... why do you want strong people?

"War."

When Rio asked intrigued, Duran responded forcefully and instantly.

"War, is it"

"Oh, my country is a small country. That's why other countries just have the power not to lick it. I can work more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers on my own, but there are people in other countries who can remember my arms, and I can't beat overwhelming quantities."

Duran theorizes.

"Is that so?"

Rio nodded softly. But...

"In that regard, I admire the fact that your lord only has the power to overshadow the battlefield by himself. Even if you don't serve me, are you willing to lend a hand to my hegemony? Big countries are loud about form and tradition, but small countries like ours can run up as much as they want with meritocracy, right?

And, Duran goes on to say the words without looking particularly concerned about Rio's attitude.

"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in the hegemony."

Rio's answer was no different. I don't want to go to war.

"... Your Eminence, with so much power in your hands, even if the hegemony will remain as you wish, do you dare to go down the King's Road?

Duran asks in all likelihood.

"I am not willing to go on a hegemony or a royal road."

"What, so you're not interested in caring? You're gonna be a deserter, too?

What do you think?

When Rio laughed bitterly, he just walked away saying the story was over, and walked over to Flora, who was falling to the ground.

"... Hmm. Vengeance, possessions fell, something like that."

Duran narrows his eyes softly and stares at Rio's back.

"It's more like this than it used to be."

Rio replied bitterly, stopping in front of Flora. Right next to Will, there are three Donners, the village chief, standing...

"Ugh..."

He looked frightened somewhere and stared at Rio.

(After all, Princess Flora...... right?

Rio glanced at Will and the others, kneeling down and staring at Flora's face, recognized that the girl who was falling was Flora herself. And -,

"What about this girl? How did you end up in this village?

And ask Will and the others right next door.

"Oh, no, the..."

Will and the others were nervous and stuck in words. Then...

"Your Lordship, do you know the nature of that daughter?

Duran speaks to Rio.

(... I see. Is she the reason this prince is here? What the fuck happened?

From Duran's question, Rio deduces one end of the background -,

"... strange face, that doesn't mean. Trouble is."

And, slightly between, I answered.

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, Lucius was from the Kingdom of Beltram. That means it's likely that he's someone with ties to Beltram."

Duran puts an exploration into its origins from Rio's statement about knowing Flora.

"Well, what do you think?

Rio responds with a poker face -,

(That's a terrible fever. There is a mole in the neck muscle. What is this, sick? No......)

I grabbed Flora's body and started checking the container.

"Princess Flora. Are you conscious?

"Ha, ha..."

The exhalation is rough and there is no response. It's suspicious that you're keeping consciousness at the moment -

(Were you aware of the battle earlier? It's possible they even noticed my name...)

And, Rio conceives. It's a little cumbersome if they had noticed, but leaving it like this is also a bad wake-up call. Then...

"They're poisoned by spiders living in the woods. Lucius, who your lord killed, had a magic potion for detoxification. The first blow would have made him disappear."

Duran seemed somewhere delightful, telling him what was causing Flora to suffer.

"If it's a magic potion for detoxification, I have it too."

Rio answers with a sigh.

"Well, a handy guy to make. You mean help? So what do we do?

Duran asked, intensifying his delightful grin.

"… I will take you to the country"

"Hmm, better than the old one, the princess took me to this point for her own sake... well, okay. Take him with you. Thanks for the interesting spectacle. There's no stopping it."

When Rio answers slightly more than 100 million, Duran gives permission to Rio's decision without exception.

"Are you sure?

And, Rio unexpectedly rounded his eyes. Rio is somewhat aware of the relationship between the Kingdom of Palladia and the Kingdom of Beltram. And also the value of use that Flora would have. So, honestly, I thought you might get a little bit eaten down.

"... Hmm. Even if I want to stop you, I can't stop you with strength or power. I thought it would be nice to have the princess of the hostile state for comfort, but I also offered to be happy. Lucius is dead."

Duran said as he snorted small, it seemed somewhat uninteresting.

"... So let's just say we take him before he changes his mind. Take this..."

Once he had left Flora on the spot and walked over to Duran, Rio was able to relieve himself of his wonder and mouth. And take the wooden bottle out of your nose.

"What is this?

Duran stared at the wooden bottle.

"It is a magic medicine (potion) for healing that blocks the wound. It's not immediate, but drinking it should also speed up the recovery of wounds in your body. Use it on them."

That's what Rio says, he sees the knights rolling on the ground.

"... I don't want it. It's a disgrace to a warrior, such as being sent salt to a defeated opponent."

Duran whispered his nose small and shook his cover. But...

"Don't say that. I couldn't help it then. Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any dead people, but I don't know what would happen if I left them alone. I don't want to take my life until I can. Or are you also a safe healing magic user?

Rio smiles bitterly and offers Duran a wooden bottle.

"... Phew, I say things like people have changed. Isn't the lack of forgiveness in battle a lie?... Fine. Then I'll take it. But instead, if there's anything I can see again, I want you to take a seat."

Duran grinned furiously, grabbing the bottle from Rio's hand.

"... a seat, is it?

Rio leans his neck strangely.

"I will welcome you as a guest and entertain you. If you change your mind, you can lend me someone to serve you."

Apparently you're still going to solicit Rio. It's hard to get out of it.

"... think about it"

When Rio smiled bitterly, he tried to hold Flora back. Honestly, I don't want to stay too long. Then...

"Ma, wait! Oh, no, wait!

Will rushes to call off Rio.

"Something?

Rio stopped holding Flora and watched Will.

"Oh, no, the... Fr. Flora..."

"Ko, I don't want to break up like this!

When Will is stuck in words, the donner hitches a ride and screams.

"... if you'll excuse me, what relationship do you have with this child?

Rio asks in a calm voice.

"Mm, I lived in a village! Protect me from getting lost!

Will never explained the situation to me.

"I see...... He said he knew her qualities."

When Rio somehow grasps the situation and is good at it -,

"Hey, my extraction allowed the man to return. Why do you pinch your mouth? By the way, did you protect him? Could it have been a mistake to try to abandon you in the dirt?

Duran spoke to Will and Donner in a swordswallowing voice.

"Hih!"

Will and Donner get scared and pull their faces together. Physically Duran and Donner are to the same extent, but I didn't think I'd die looking at the battle ahead and looking at them with arms and enemies, etc.

"She has a place to go home. I don't have much time either. Unfortunately, we can't wait until she wakes up and breaks up with you."

Rio immediately speaks to Will and the others in an attempt to quell Duran's anger.

"Ugh..."

Will and Donner totally constricted and pushed silently. I said something from the look on my face. That kind of vibe conveyed, but no more than that, the two of us would open our mouths -,

"Let me tell her about you two. May I ask your name?

And Rio suggested and asked.

"... it's Will"

I'm a donner.

The two of them say their names as strangers.

"Sure, I got it. Then... take this."

Once Rio stands up, he takes the sachet out of his pocket and hands it to Will.

"... What's this?

"Gratitude on her behalf. There's money in it."

"Beh, I didn't want any money to save you!

Will ate the bubble and screamed.

"Nevertheless, you will need a thank you for what she has caused. You might get sick later by giving thanks."

Rio speaks in a neat tone.

"Ugh..."

Will couldn't say anything back. Then...

"Well, then you can take me too!

And the donner sued...

"Hey, what are you talking about, idiot!?

The village chief shrugged, changed his blood phase and shouted.

"Kuck, kuck. It's a crappy trilogy play, but why is it so promising?"

Duran watches Will and the others exchange from the side and laughs happily.

"... you can't take me"

When Rio took a small sigh of sigh, he shook a clear shake. But...

"But the Kingdom of Beltram is a country that exists more southwest than here. Now that she's based in a city called Rodania, the realm capital of the Marquis of Rodin, I'm going to take her that far, too. We need money to travel, and it can be a long and dangerous journey."

And go on with the words. That also sounded like he was saying you could do whatever you wanted if you were going after him later in the dark. But I won't say anything because I don't have the coverage to meet you where I've been chasing you. Based on that, like it, I guess. If that's all you have in mind.

Will and Donner had a frightened face.

"In a breath disaster."

Duran chops a hoot of laughter and speaks on Rio's back.

"Excuse me."

Rio said so, now it was time to hold Flora and gently rush out to the streets. The movement is very slow, but incredibly fast, and instantly disappears far away.

Duran looks behind Rio like that...

"... Hmm. His hands are still paralyzed by the recoil that struck him."

And I squealed my nose and squealed.

(In the end, we didn't know if he belonged to the Kingdom of Beltram. I prefer not to fight a country where there is such a god of struggle...)

Duran has dived through another battle, but honestly, I didn't want to run into Rio on the battlefield. So much so that it would seem that there would be no guarantee of life if it were decent relative.

(It fits just when I'm calm. I don't know when the big battle Lucius was going to start, but we might as well put some exploration into the trends of the big countries everywhere right now. Maybe we can figure out what he belongs to, too.)

Duran thinks so with a sharp eye...

"Hey, you guys. Return immediately to the village and bring the men. Carry the wounded. Get your quarters ready."

And I spoke to the village chiefs who were beside me.

"... to?

As opposed to the distracted Will and Donner -,

"Yes! Follow me, you guys!

The village chief replies first and rushes to the village.

"Oh, hey! Father!"

Will and Donner, bewildered, rush right out to chase the village chief's trail. Duran, left alone, looks around at the knights lying around -

"Those are impudent people. Let's try to work it out a little bit."

With the wooden bottle I received from Rio, I started treating the knights.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, time goes back to right after the battle -.

Behind the dim woods, about a kilometer away, from the point where Rio and the others were fighting, Reis was pounding alone. In that hand was held the sword used by Lucius...

"Has the flesh vanished in an instant? If this sword had also been retrieved a little later, it might have been destroyed. Totally, utterly powerful."

And, Rayce rarely squeals clouding his face.

(You're in trouble. This just got a little troublesome. He said he was going to have a lot of work to do...)

That's what Reyce thought, looking at the sword still...

"Suppose you do something with a pawn in your hand for a while"

I sighed and let go of the sword I was holding. The sword follows gravity and falls softly. But the tip didn't stick to the ground as it was, and I was sucked into the bottomless marshy darkness that was spreading at Lace's feet.

(And dark-haired spiritualist, is that it? I have one person in mind...... but you had different hair colors and no sign of the Spirit)

I didn't even see his face well because it was far away, and Rayce stood up on the spot with his imaginary face on...

(But if that brunette spiritualist is the same person I know, it's a pain in the ass. It's more troublesome than I thought...)

I often wonder.

(But if it stays this way, Princess Flora will be returned to Restoration safely. What do you mean you let the evil black flying dragon (ibil black Wyburn) out for and then attacked the demon ship? That and this is caused by the whim of that man, so at all...)

Rayce smiled with joy, having conceived madness.

It's just a miscalculation. Yes, something incorrectly calculated keeps happening. And it was definitely that brunette spiritualist who was causing that miscalculation straight away.

(I can't let you go home adultly, and I just want to leave a few nail marks...)

Where we have many half-breed combat personnel, it is visible that we encounter a unilateral payback. But still, I wasn't very good at pulling back as hard as I was.

Hence, Reyce often conceived...

"... for now, suppose you try to move the two brave men and princess knights you capture"

I came up with a next good measure and chose a pawn for it.
