Sir Gwennasis's Resolutions, Part II

Returning the title and territory......?

To Sir Gwennasis's words the scene quieted back.

Huh? Really? Seriously?

Something has just made me a surprising creature whenever Sir Gwennasis utters words!?

No...!

"I guess you already know what I want to be stupid. But my ambitions were shattered, of course. You can't do anything."

Sir Gwennasis, speaking so quietly, smiled sadly.

Stupid hope is that maybe he was trying to seize the throne with the Saviour's Demon in his hands, right...

I, facing Sir Gwennasis, open my mouth.

"... Think I gave up, is that good?

To my straight-ball question, Sir Gwennasis raised his eyebrows a little as surprised, but immediately opened his mouth with a self-derisive grin.

"Now that there is no magic of salvation, there is no more victory over me.... No, he never beat me from the beginning. As a myth, he claimed that the one with the Scripture in his hand was the king, and intended to keep the king's people and the others on his side. That way, this one has an overwhelming advantage. If the royalty is not so graceful, it will also gain the throne without contention.... I foolishly assumed so."

With that said, Sir Gwennasis, once he stopped talking, shook his head gently and opened his mouth again.

"As long as we had the Savior of Salvation, we could handle it, such was a pale fantasy. I'm an old man. I didn't realize my values were already in the past. I didn't doubt that because I believed that everything was supposed to feel the same way as I did. But it wasn't. Would His Highness Henry be reacting to the people after he burned the Scriptures? The Wizard was the only one upset by His Highness's burning of the Demon Scriptures. Many King Nationals who could not use magic looked no different from their usual routine. No, he said he did something amazing, and some even glorified His Highness Henry.... even wizards who should have been confused at first are beginning to think they are flushed around and have no big deal"

Sir Gwennasis, who went on to say so all at once, exhaled deeply with fu.

And I frown sadly.

"To the pressure of the majority, our magic no longer works. I understood clearly and painfully. Our time as wizards is over."

To Sir Gwennasis's words, to his thoughts, to his apathy for a while, and to his painful opening of his mouth, "Oh, no such thing…" I tried not to continue beyond that.

Isn't that what I thought it was?

That's what I think, and I'm moving for it, that the power of non-wizards will be stronger from now on, in those times.

While there are those who want those times, there are those who spare the present.

But that doesn't mean all the wizards aren't gone.

I opened my mouth again.

"With the months flowing, times will shift and people will change. But even if a new era is coming, it's not like there are no wizards in that era. They say it's as if it's just a non-wizard era, but it's not! It's those times when magic can walk with you, regardless of the unusable!

When I put it in a tone of fortitude, not surprisingly, Sir Gwennasis, for the first time, gave me a gentle grin.

I'm not laughing bitterly, I'm not sad, I'm just, like, having fun.

"I see, is that what the new era says? Doesn't look bad.... Actually, I'm a really stupid man, and even now that I've decided to surrender my territory to the King, there's still been a stray. At the expense of the inhabitants. But maybe we should put up a bet... But I'm not lost anymore."

That's what I say with my face that I'm ready for, so I accidentally got my fist into it.

"But don't you have to bother returning the territory? Even the thoughts that Sir Gwennasis had hidden within, if you don't say so, the country shouldn't notice. Shouldn't His Excellency, as Earl of Ghennersis, be doing all he can for his people?

"Of course, the robbery thing, I'm going to lay low. Exactly. I'm not going to confess it. Speaking of boulders, even this child, sin flies."

With that said, Sir Gwennasis stared at his own daughter, Miss Caterina.

He looked sweet.

"So, all the more so, if you think of Master Katerina, why don't you go out of your way to return the countenance? All you have to do is treat me like a shiitake!

Unexpectedly, when I said so, Sir Gwennasis laughed as he erupted.

"Ha, just what you say is different. If I could do that, I would, but it's also difficult now. Because now, Ghennasis has a sharp beast of fangs"

A sharp beast of fangs......

"Are you referring to the Knights of the Sword and those who are called their heroes?

"Oh, yeah. I should have stopped them. But I couldn't stop it. Grace for saving my territory, my dissatisfaction with the kingdom, it was put in there. I was put on their sweet words. When I realized their danger and tried to stop them, it was too late. They are taking the inhabitants on their side and increasing the number of fangs. One of these days those fangs will head to the kingdom.... but in their way, they can't beat the kingdom. And make a lot of sacrifices. I have to stop it. It's my last job as lord of Gwennasis."

"… to stop them, to not make the sacrifice of the inhabitants, do you mean to speak of the inside of the territory of Ghennassis"

That's what I was whining about and remembering about Alec's parents.

Sure, that might be the most convenient and good way to stop that parentage......

"That's right. To contain that beast, tell the country what's going on in Gwennasis territory. That would distract the eyes of the kingdom. That's right. They can't be so free either.... and as a foolish lord who could not contain the non-wizard, I will return to the throne. He's a valuable wizard, so I don't think he'll take it to life. But Caterina and the sons of Gwennasis have narrower shoulders. I want you to protect me. That's why I'm here today. And if you can, I want you to reach out to me when the Ghennassist realm asks you for help. Sincerely, will you listen?... I want you to take the kids in a new era"

To the words of Sir Gwennasis, who speaks so, I nodded with my lips clenched.

"... Yes"

"Thank you. At today's graduation ceremony, I intend to watch the children of Caterina and other Gwennasis territories grow before going to the castle. That's because he's a bad guy. He'll fight recklessly while he's grumbling. If he's good enough to watch his daughter graduate, he'll take a big look."

That being said, Sir Gwennasis stood up.

That man is definitely about Alec's parents.

Alec, it's because of your parents. I knew you wouldn't change.

To send you too, stand up.

Miss Caterina was nagging with a pale face.

My shoulders are shaking. You must be crying.

Let's just relax now.

In order to send you Sir Gwennasis, I looked back to Sir Gwennasis, hoping to speak of it, at the knob at the door.

"How could Sir Gwennasis have been counted on me? Well, if you were Sir Gwennasis, I thought there were other destinations you could count on...?

"No, there's no better place to rely than here. In the Wang capital, the Ruby Forn Chamber of Commerce is loved. It is even heavily used by the royal family. And my daughter asked about you. [M] I can trust you, this is the only place that seems like it. Besides, most importantly, you are so afraid of that man."

"Um, man...?

"Make me a hero of the Sword Saints, I'm talking about Alexander, the dangerous thinker. Do you know him?

"What, how could you do that?"

Sir Gwennasis, you know you have contacts with me and my affinity!?

To my surprise, Sir Gwennasis smiled slightly.

"Alexander was a fearless one. He's like a man who walks only on his own beliefs, without fear of the country or even the royalty. I used to ask that one on a whim. I was wondering if you had something horrible. He said your name after all his troubles, Lyo-Rubyforn."

What's my name...?

Too surprised, to me by the words, Sir Gwennasis smiled faintly.

"You're definitely the one who's going to make the times. There's nothing more I can do, but I wish you the best."

"Thank you, thank you"

When I replied so painfully, Sir Gwennasis nodded satisfactorily.

"Wait, Father! I'll come with you! I am your father's daughter! My inability to support Gwennasis is also my lack of strength!

That's what Miss Caterina, who had been keeping her mouth shut, stood up.

Miss Caterina wept in her eyes and looked straight at Sir Gwennasis.

"What does my pre-adult daughter say? Who do you think I'm going to go to the castle for? Because sin does not fall on my child. Don't let your family go unpunished. Busy, I can hardly make time to meet you, and you made me miss you. Katerina, let me put this on my father for the last time."

"But...!

Miss Caterina, with a sad face, was about to rush over to Sir Gwennasis, so I took her right hand and stopped moving.

"Mr. Lew!?

I shook my neck to the left and right towards Miss Caterina, although the pulled shape Miss Caterina had looked at me with a face that was stuffed with cut feathers.

And I turn once again to Sir Gwennasis's back.

"I'll take care of the people in Ghennassis."

When I said that, Bach said small "thank you" without turning around and walked forward.

The school's graduation ceremony was then grandly opened.

Originally in relation to the consolation meeting, the nobility of the province is also coming to the King's Capital, so the guardian seat was more abundant than the usual graduation ceremony, and we nestled in the school, watched by many people.

And at the end of the graduation ceremony, Sir Gwennasis was returned his territory and title to His Majesty.

In 717 Gaith Calendar, the whole country was fussed by the sudden departure of Sir Gwennasis, who had ruled the territory of Gwennasis for many years.
