"Thank you for waiting, Ars Barca."
"I know. You've grown."
"Did you remember? I don't think I've ever talked like this before."
"What do you say? Of course I remember. Since you were only a little knight, you've let go of an atmosphere where you're not alone."
We had a New Year's celebration in the city of Fontana, and there was Kyle's wedding.
I was going to spend some time in the city of Fontana after that.
but now he's back in the city of Rishar.
Because at a time when it is more south than the Kingdom of Fontana, but still snowfalls, we received reports of important figures coming to the city of Rishar, which has just been newly created.
Face the person in the reception room at Charlotte Castle.
There was a deep wrinkle on his face and an old man there with white hair and beard.
But this person is not the one who came to the city of Lishar without food.
The old man's eyes, along with the sharpness that seemed to foresee the bottom of this one, had copied a gentle light that embraced the other.
"I miss you. I was a knight a few years ago, but it feels like a long time ago."
"Right. From an old bone like mine, I think it's like it was yesterday. However, a lot has happened since then. It's just a tumultuous few years for those like me who can't keep up with the rapidly flowing times. And there was always you at the center of it"
"Really. No one would have expected this to happen where you were still in Fontana territory. But what is it like by now, Lord Joseph de Greated"
The old man in front of you is a nobleman by the name of Joseph.
The Greateds.
That's an historic aristocracy that has served the Doren royal family for a long time.
In the king's capital, ruled by King Doren, exists to serve the king.
Once, this Joseph was in Fontana.
That was years ago.
At that time, I was still the head of the Knights ruling the Barca Knights.
Yes, once, one of the kings' sidekicks who followed King Doren from the king's capital when he was surrendering to Fontana territory was this old man.
I was just a peasant up knight then, and I didn't even get a chance to face King Doren or his neighboring nobles.
At the time, it was the job of Carlos, the lord of Fontana, a nobleman, to entertain the Doren kings who were staying in Fontana.
Therefore, I knew this Joseph person existed, but there was no direct involvement, and I didn't think they would remember him either.
This old Joseph accompanied King Doren as a side of the king on an escape in the name of an inspection of Fontana territory, and was raided on his way home.
He was at the scene of the King Doren raid, a major incident that could be described as a turning point in history.
Old Joseph, who was assassinated with Carlos, whom King Doren tried to defend himself, and who was lucky enough to survive, escaped the ordeal by working with Lion, who was there on the spot.
And I hear you've reached the King's Capital.
Most of all, I haven't heard much about Joseph in the King's capital since then.
Surely, didn't you lose the political battle when the proximity you were supposed to be with on the spot accused you of fleeing without protecting the king?
Therefore, I feel like I have managed to hear that they are being turned into idle positions without being heavily used by the next King Doren.
But that being said, he should be a historic nobleman and close to King Doren.
What does it mean that such a person suddenly asks Reed territory this way?
Besides, now is the time when New Year's celebrations are still going on in every noble territory.
It's not just a matter of coming through the King's Capital at a time like this.
"So it's about why I came all the way here..."
"Yeah, what can I do for you? Honestly, the Kingdom of Fontana has previously been hostile to the Doren royal family. Nor does it mean that the relationship that followed is otherwise good. Why would someone like you come to someone like that?
"Call me Joseph about me, Lord Ars Barca, the Shield of God. You are now more than enough to see God. I would be like the wooden end there."
"No, then, let me call you Lord Joseph. If so, is it good with the realization that Lord Joseph came to see me, not the finance minister of the Kingdom of Fontana, but the shield of God?
"Yeah, if you can see it that way. I came here to see you because I really wanted to ask you something."
"… if it's something I can tell you"
"Then…, our Lord, the contemporary King Doren, the King, has lost the inheritance that he should have. Once, the Memento family raided and occupied the King's capital. Afterwards, the previous King Doren, who was king at the time, should have taken off the king's capital in the utmost secrecy. but the whereabouts are unknown. But even if the king dies, there will be no return of inheritance to the present king. What the hell is this? I don't know why you asked the Blue Virgin Miriam. If you were God's shield, I wondered if you knew why."
Oh, that's right.
Okay, I get it.
I'm the cause.
King Doren is dead when the Memento family raids him, perhaps then.
However, if he dies only normally, the magic pass that King Doren had will be handed over to him who is first in inheritance, and so the death will soon be discovered.
but not then.
Perhaps Naja [collected] the inheritance rights of King Doren, who died then.
And that naja isn't there anymore.
Even though it is, there is no right of inheritance back to the prince of the Doren royal family, who is now named king.
Why is that?
Because Valkyrie [collected] pointing to Todome to Naja.
In other words, the Doren royal inheritance will be held by the first Valkyrie, that is, Kaiser Valkyrie.
And Kaiser Valkyrie is [synthesized] with a labyrinth nucleus and an ice-sucking stone with ice refinement to become a godlike being with the flesh of the Spirit that transcends death.
Probably, but Kaiser Valkyrie doesn't have a lifespan.
And Kaiser, Valkyrie's magically so. He won't be killed by an external enemy either.
Therefore, there is no right of inheritance back to the Doren royal family.
How do I explain this?
Explain honestly, then wouldn't they say that Kaiser Valkyrie, who has the Doren royal inheritance, belongs to the Doren royal family?
That's a hassle even if that happens.
I concentrated my magic on my head thinking about how to make up an excuse.
