Three days have passed since that southern marquis was simultaneously detained.
I walk down the hallway from the Fine Palace.
Immediately behind the diagonal, Elma refrained.
"Elma, we have no problem keeping tabs on the Hordes, right?
"Right. They're all under house arrest in their private rooms. The wand soldiers are on the lookout and are not allowed to make contact with the outside world in any way."
"Hmm, that's quite a thing. Keep watching."
"Ha..."
"Yeah? What's wrong?
I feel a questionable atmosphere from Elma's verbal buttocks and try to encourage them to go ahead.
"No..."
"I don't mind. Ask me anything."
Elma opens her mouth after showing a glimpse of her surroundings.
"Well, witch, didn't you get too rough on the boulder this time?
Hmm, rambling...... hey.
"I admit that, is there a problem?
"Hmm, even though witches are hated by the nobles of the South. You're buying more and more grudges this time."
Cheng Cheng... Right. Well, naturally, no, maybe something like a legitimate concern?
I can just say it's too serious.
"Right. But I don't care."
To my reply, Elma would be flying a question mark.
You don't have to turn around, you can easily tell how it is.
Imagine that puzzled face and continue the conversation with a grin inside.
"The Knights of Private Soldiers of the Southern Horses, devastated by the liberation war they tried. Within the last nine years, I seem to have managed to rebuild... Heh, that's what's gonna get crushed once and for all."
Yes, by the battle that's about to happen. That power will be paid off.
How many people, money, and time does it take to rebuild from there?
"You can't rebuild immediately. Then there is nothing to be afraid of, such as the resentment of the lords without soldiers. They won't be able to do it, even if they want to."
"... I sure would if it was the most recent. Wouldn't that be a disaster later? A few years from now, you'll be restoring your strength again, won't you?
Oh? You're thinking a little bit. But it's still sweet.
"Don't worry. I'm not so swallowed as to allow it."
Why, in the first place, have you ever left the southern gods with a grudge against me?
That's because I've been focusing on grounding in the center for the past nine years.
That's why I couldn't afford to reach out.
However, sufficient time was already spent consolidating scaffolding in the centre.
I wouldn't call it a pebble, but I wouldn't even shake it so easily.
That's about as good a foundation as it can be in the center.
And if I succeed to the Hoover family in the future, my strength will grow.
Whatever, my lord, you will climb to the extreme of both literary and martial arts.
That would also allow some impotence to be pushed through.
The future in a few years? Ha, give them all that respite to the southern lords?
"Elma, a few years later, the neck of the Southern Marquis has been inserted in place of something new. So don't worry about anything."
That's how I conclude, I change the story.
"By the way, Theodora's protection must be adequate, right?
"Oh, it's okay. Basically, that girl, as a witch's last name, is stuffed in a witch's room. In the name of guarding the witch's room, there's always a wand soldier next to her."
Hmm, all my concerns are fine, that's the thing.
Pretty good.
Then later, later, only strive to complete the fisherman's profit maneuver.
"Nevertheless... you're right about Lily"
"Yeah? Lily?
"The witch talks about child distress. I can't believe I'm so concerned about that girl..."
I stop, or turn around and stare at Elma's face.
"Oh, no, what are you talking about? Naturally. Yeah, well, maybe the witches will take someone close to the witch hostage in pain."
"Right..."
When I hammer short, I turn back forward and walk out again.
From behind, I heard a ho exhale.
... Honestly, I wondered if I would bring Theodora or leave her at the royal castle.
Carl is fine.
That's the king. In that capacity, even without me, it is strictly protected.
And just in case, I'm asking Lily.
But Theodora doesn't either.
That child is only a small surname. He is inferior to the woman who serves in the royal castle.
Because it's like my private servant.
Even women officially employed by the royal castle are inferior as titles.
Is it more accurate to say that she doesn't have an official title than that?
So, without me, without that asylum.
No, although Lily is here. She's the only one who cares.
Then there is a danger that something unforeseen could happen.
It's dangerous to bring him near the front line.
But I can feel safer being within my sight than being within my sight.
Yes, and...
I look through the hallway windows, at the beautiful garden.
This Fine outpost, here was placed the General Command of the Southern Army.
The fact became the deciding factor.
In the end, even though I was lost, I decided to bring her in.
"Witch?
Elma's surprising questioning.
My view of the garden led me through Theodora in my heart and looked unnatural from her eyes.
That's why......
"Nothing, Elma."
"Ha..."
Oh, there's no way it's nothing.
Those children's presence is a consolation to me, defeated (...) in the war of liberation.
I am saved by the presence of those children.
That's true. But......
The presence of those children clouds my color. Another color mixes.
It keeps me away. from pure primary colors. That's......
... what, cry.
Drop it. If she were, Fujido would try to get everything she wanted her heart to.
Yes, reach for everything you want. I don't give up anything.
Then I can't be wrong right now.
The difficulty just made me sound weak. Yeah, I'm not wrong.
Yes, it is. Isn't that right? Fujido......
I shake my head left and right once.
"... let us show you hell, Elma, the Southern Gorges, and the Arlunian Gorges. Turn me to my enemies, and I will pay them for their stupidity."
"Ha! As the witch wills!
Elma has a military tone and responds to my words.
I nodded contentedly, shaking off the obsession in my chest, and kept walking.
