Tearmoon Empire Story

"Patty, for now, let's rest here."

It was odd that Patty was brought by Anne to the room where she used to live.

Looking at that room, Patty gets confused again.

It was because the interior had changed.

- What is this place...?

If it was a foreigner I didn't recognize at all, I could still understand.

However, the place I was brought to was halfway through Patty's knowledge of the landscape of Clausius.

Therefore, Patty was more confused than ever.

Clausius' mansion with no sign of anyone, and Hannes, his brother, who is nowhere to be found.

The elderly shopkeeper of the tailor and the capital city with the appearance of being lonely.

--What is this...?

I don't know what's going on.

At first, I thought it was part of the serpent's shiitake.

"As a serpent agent, I will be able to move appropriately under any circumstances..." I thought it was such a drill.

But apparently, it was a mistake. But then, what does this mean?

Where are we?

Myriad questions sprang up. It slipped around like a mist, distorting the sight in front of it. Fluffy, uneasy, and unstable.

Among them, the only thing I'm sure of is the warm feeling of my hands on my back...

Jana, who called herself her friend, was gently rubbing her back.

Only the warmth of my friend was certain in this misty and uncertain world.

--A friend is like a cuttilla on an empty stomach...

Just now, what was told to me by a man I don't really understand, passed through my head.

That man who calls himself the Emperor... his name is indeed...

"Excuse me."

Voice outside the door. A maid named Anne opened the door in a panic.

Standing was a man who called himself the Emperor. He looked around the room and narrowed his eyes.

"This place... oh, I miss it..." It's the room your mother used to use. "

- His name is... yes, Matthias.

I remembered... and then, looking at Matthias's face, Patty suddenly felt a smile.

Because the name Matthias was a long time ago... it was still the name of the dog that Patty's mother had when she was alive. I died of a disease... it was a precious family... it was the name of the dog.

Patty had a strange sense of intimacy with a man with the same name as such a dog.

"However, the Emperor was called..." What the hell is going on here?

I'll think about it again.

To Patty's knowledge, neither the current Emperor of the Tier Moon Empire nor his son had such a face. I feel somewhat alike, but I can assure you that it is someone else.

So, what on earth is this all about...?

Matthias laughed at Patty as she twisted her neck.

It looks like you weren't feeling well earlier, but are you okay?

Patty nodded tinyly to the words... that's all she had to do.

Yana, who was next to her, seemed to be in a panic.

"Ah... um... well... Patty was separated from her only family's younger brother, so I was worried and not feeling well..." So, um... you might lose your thanks, but... "

Yana said it with a nervous face, as if she was a commoner who was opposed to the real Emperor. Meanwhile, Matthias stroked her hair with his hands on Jana's head.

“You don't have to be so nervous. I am now your parent. With such an attitude, the disguise will quickly be revealed."

What a majestic face to say,

"Besides, you are children who have received the favor of my daughter Meer." Then there is nothing wrong with thinking that it is in my favor. After all, if I did something terrible to you guys, wouldn't mea hate it? "

That's not true, Matthias said after a pleasant smile.

"But I see. There's only one family..." That means it's similar to Yana and Cyril... "By the way, your parents....."

"... no. He's dead..."

Patty said as she shook her head.

Nowadays, Marquis Clausius is a parent, but Patty has never thought of him as a parent. Probably the opponent as well.

"I see..."

Matthias framed his arms to think of something, and mumbled. but......

"I know that friends are important, but at the same time, I know the importance of my family well..." Isn't that right? Most of all, everyone will become a real family... "

"Huh...?"

Matthias nodded in an upbeat mood as he chirped, in front of Patty, who blinked his eyes.

"It's a pretty good idea to really take you in as my adopted children." That way, you won't suffer from hunger and you won't be worried about your future. That's right, then Bell will be with you..... "

Demoton has come up with something he can't do!

"Your Majesty... you know, that kind of thing..."

It was Strina who gently and loosely caught up with me. There was no one to stop Matthias, except Strina, the noble lady. but......

"Yeah. Surely, succession to the throne looks troublesome." "Let the Prime Minister do something about the area..." Meer wouldn't disagree, and this is a pretty good idea..... "

"Why...?"

It was Yana next to Patty who suddenly opened her mouth.

"Why are you helping me like that?"

I understood how Yana felt when she wanted to ask that question.

Patty was just as strange when she was taken over by the Clausians... and despaired of the answer.

Reflexively, Patty turned to Matthias. Matthias didn't even think about it... "

"It will be decided." It's just a whim. "

I said it out of the ordinary.

"...... Qi, Guru......?"

Matthias said to Yana, who snuffed a little.

"Or maybe the arrogance of something to have..."

Laughing at himself, he continues.

"If the butterfly caught in the cobweb in front of you is beautiful, I will help you, right?" It's the same thing. If there's a damaged tadpole in the woods, you'll feel pathetic, right? It's the same thing. It's just that much. I don't know if a spider dies of hunger. I don't know anything about foxes eating mackerel. I will not help the weak and helpless who are out of my sight. Only a foolish emperor can do that. It's just arrogance. There's no reason. Neither kindness nor compassion. It's just whimsical and arrogant. So... there's no need to feel grateful. "

Having said that, Matthias laughed loudly.

"But my daughter Meer... she's different." Instead of using your power at will, you are trying to change your country, change the world, and save a lot of people. That's my daughter who's gone too far for me. "

Stretch your chest out to be proud of your beloved daughter.

That's what I heard... Patty thought.

--You can laugh proudly at your daughter's achievements in trying to save a lot of people... I'm sure she's a good person too...

And at the same time, I think.

"To save Hannes' life, we must desperately degenerate these people..."

"... a little, in the bathroom"

That said, Patty quietly leaves the room behind.

I don't know why I didn't want to hear his voice anymore.

I didn't want to be near Yana, who worried about me.

Then Patty went to the room where Meer and the others were.

So, she... "
