Sword Whisperer

"...... ah."

Siraz.... Sarah sighs like groaning. The connection with Siraz is broken, and the fullness of consciousness that has always filled her is gone.

It was a light thing to hold only one voice. Sarah looked back at Arotep as she felt it. I don't know who he is, no... I know who he is, but his eyes were filled with incomprehensible expectations.

"Sarah."

"......."

I'm not Sarah. She had already taken that out a few times and she couldn't take it out. Come now. I don't think of myself as Sarah. When the bond with Shiraz is broken, it is not that she has lived most of her life as a Shiraz.

As a man named Sarah, she has long forgotten how to live.

There still seem to be dozens of voices in my head. Traces of knowledge accumulated close to infinity remained within her. I had to. I rush to collect the rivers that have already flowed into the sea, so how many rivers can it be?

"What is Sarah?"

And when she realized that was the tour she used when she was Sarah, she panicked. Arotep smiled.

"You."

"…… I still don't know if I'm Sarah. Rather, I can be sure that I'm completely different from Sarah at the time."

"Everyone hasn't changed. Neither have I, nor our daughter, and you have only changed as well. Take a look."

Arotep looks at Sarah with his big eyes.

"Aren't you crying?"

"That sound again..."

Sarah laughs in vain, but reflectively puts her hand on my eye. And at that moment, I was forced to make a stupid look. This time it was not such a false tear that only Arotep's eyes could see.

She was crying.

"Say hello. It's your mother."

"......."

In front of Arotep Muñet, his mouth growled with a dumb expression. Looking at Van with unbelievable eyes seemed to ask if he was crazy.

But Van shook his head, and Munet faced Sarah with an unmistakable expression.

"…… you?"

"I think so......"

Shiraz said without confidence. At least when I was connecting with other Shiraz, I was able to determine with certainty what to say. But with only one voice like this, it was difficult to determine what to say or whether it was the right word.

"... I don't know what to say."

Munet shed a laugh. I was so upset with my father that my mother had never seen this before in her life. She had a definite reason why this family relationship had to be awkward. So Van watched their reunion quietly without saying anything else.

"It's a strange landscape. '

They needed to be closer than anyone else, but they were more difficult than anyone else. Will the family be able to have a peaceful morning and evening with the rest of the family over time?

I wish I could. I thought so.

Their clumsy reunion was about to touch the waves somewhere. Sarah calls Van aside. She looked at Van quietly and said,

"Siraz will never forget your kindness."

"Can you speak for Shiraz like that? It must be disconnected from them by now.

"…… I have lived as a Siraz for over 20 years."

Sarah touches the wrinkles on the back of my hand.

"You don't have to be connected to what they think."

"…… this freedom will not last forever."

The giant said their bond is eternal. Syraz's branch would one day reach her again. But Sarah wasn't particularly concerned about it. She smiles closely.

"My freedom is not important."

"…… then what does it matter?"

"Even after our consciousness has become one, it's important to know that each of us can be one."

"If you need my help...... I will cut Siraz's strings whenever I can."

"You don't have to. I knew it wasn't a problem to be solved by someone else's hand. That giant was our own home after all. This is a problem that we have to deal with ourselves."

"…… you can think of it now, but it's just one of the myriad voices in Siraz. Will they really accept that idea?"

"Sometimes a single voice can overwhelm many voices."

"I wish I could."

"Van."

Sarah's expression became serious. Van looks at her, swallowing his saliva. Sarah looks around and opens her mouth in a nervous voice.

"There's one thing you need to know."

§

Despite Muñet's work, there was still one homework in front of Van. Four days into the next round table meeting. Until then, in order to gain Nahar's heart, he had to promise to marry Anya.

"Is Munet still in your house?"

"At Shiraz's mansion, I heard it was a little rusty. Why did my place look so comfortable?"

Anya shakes her head with her tongue out, as if she were a woman of incomprehensible class, no matter how she thinks. He was cute. He would be happy if he lived with her. In fact, no, I couldn't even imagine a woman and a family.

Nevertheless, Van could not bring out the words of goodwill to marry.

"Why is that? Senior."

Van lamented and asked. He replied that the glass seemed obvious.

"That's why there must be so many. All of a sudden, you have so much to do to do something casual, like getting married. Not when you want to pursue stability. Most of all, if you get married like this, it's like a tactic, right? You might not like that."

"I would not have been so hesitant to get married had the Lord of Vindelheim not done so."

"If I had, I wouldn't even be thinking about this marriage."

"That's right."

"Why don't you do it?"

"…… Yes?"

"Why are you trying to do something you don't want to do?"

"No, it's... it's the only way. It is a very urgent situation to lottery the Sunwoo family, so all I can do for the vote is get married……"

"When did you start discussing reality like that?"

It was a bone sore word. Having said it like a habit of fighting reality, Van is now more powerless than ever.

"…… At the end of the second round table meeting, the agenda for Sunwoo will be pushed backwards."

"Well, I know it's hard to give you that kind of detailed advice, but at least I know you're not a politician, you're a prosecutor. Don't fight politics. The opponents have wandered far beyond you."

I can't see his face, but the glass is probably smiling.

"Fight like you. Van."

§

"..... you can't get married?"

"I don't want to get married in a hurry."

"I should have told you last time. It is already a blessing that all marriages are forced to be matrimony, and that you can do it with someone who has a heart in mind."

"I remember. I understand. But I have more greed than the Lord thinks, and that is not enough."

Van bows his head.

"You know, you're a good person. I want to be in a good situation, with good intentions."

"......."

Vindelheim looked at Van without saying a word for a long time. He asked if it wasn't.

"Even if that decision is a reason for me to vote?"

"The promise I can give you is that I will be with you no matter when. In fact, this heart is bigger than the one that wants not to marry, and even if the Lord opposes it, it will not stop it."

"Good."

Vindelheim nods.

"Let's not get married."

"I'm sorry."

"But I can't talk about Nahar and Sunwoo's solidarity."

"…… Yes?"

"The return of Sunwoo is ultimately a matter of time. If we insist on objections like this, our relationship will eventually end up awkward. If chalk and the worst choice, wouldn't it be right to choose chalk?"

"Gaju..."

Van was blurry at the moment. I didn't expect things to be this easy.

"It's a shame you can't tie this strap tighter with your engagement, but it will happen someday, too." …… congratulations. Van. "

Vindelheim laughed.

"Just now, Sunwoo is part of the great nobility again."

§

It was two days until the round table meeting. Citadel's citizens flocked around the gates without the need for an adult child.

"Sunwoo family is here..... I can't believe I've lived so long."

"I can count on it. I once ate at a restaurant run by the Sunwoo family when I was young. There's still no way to forget the touch of that time."

"But what are they..... isn't that the reverse? You heard rumors about the back of the Revolutionary Army."

"Shh, shut up. Hey man, you guys up there must have been foolish! You are now a great noble.You can go to the goal with your horses! How much more does the Sunwoo family read the past like a dogbee?"

"…… Khh, Khh. No, that's not what I meant..."

"Moreover, the elder half of the Heavenly Sword is the elder of the Sunwoo family, so you can't just turn your back on the Sunwoo elders from the kingdom's perspective. Aren't you the most promising hero in the Little Kingdom?"

"Apparently, I heard you could be the next Commander of the Royal Knights..... If you are of the Sunwoo family, will that be hard for you too......"

There were such murmurings everywhere. The return of the Sunwoo family was exciting the people of Citadel in many ways. The story of the Nine Gates soon becoming the Ten Gates floated around. As the base of Sunwoo was in the north, it was not uncommon to say that Sunwoo's return would restore the north of the kingdom.

The anticipation, excitement, or hesitant gaze of many such stories were all facing Van's back. In front of the glottis. From the end of the royal knight to the warriors of the early family, the Druids of Eustein. Everyone who was friendly to Sunwoo was preparing to meet the Sunwoo family in front of the wall.

"How do we express this moment in history?"

Yustein's Zeo laughed bitterly. He listens all day long to how much I have heard in order to lead a friendly public opinion about Sunwoo within Youstein. The spirit frowned at Zeo's side.

"But I want to be able to bring him here like this. You haven't even made it back to the meeting yet."

"The Lord of Nahar is not going to change his words all of a sudden, but you don't have to worry about that."

"Well, that's just..... I'm just anxious."

In Zeo's words, the spirit grumbled. Van opens his mouth quietly.

"The Librarian made his own decision. Whatever the outcome of the vote, how can Sunwoo fall at the moment when the fate of Sunwoo is determined?"

"... so when the hell are you coming?"

"I'm already here."

"Here...?"

The spirit frowned. Because of the forest beside Citadel's road, she couldn't even see the shadow of the Sunwoo family properly.

But Van's words were not false. At some point, the sound of footsteps, the sound of shoe tapping, and the sound of dirt squeaking in my ears became increasingly clear, but I began to see the procession of Sunwoo from the end of the road.

"..... I really am. Sunwoo has appeared."

Wu Liung put out his tongue. For their generation, it was in fact the only family left as a legend. But the legend now appeared before them.

History was moving with substance in front of them.

Leading the procession at the front was, of course, the Librarian, the principal. He seemed to walk slowly, savoring one step at a time. He stopped walking until he stood in front of Van. And in time for the main event, all Sunwoo stopped his feet.

"Long time no see, Van."

He greeted Van with a loving glance and looked at Citadel.

I was seeing the end of a long wandering and nomadic life.

Sunwoo came to Citadel.
