The Branded Female Fencer

War of the Fools, Part 16 - In the Garden

"Even so, this guy's a little maze"

"It actually serves that purpose."

Ray fans react as soon as possible to the crushing of the line.

"This garden was created as a royal resting place. It is inevitable that if you are also royal, you will always be exposed to the crowd. Those who are disgusted with that will have free time here for just a few moments. Well, it looks like it was just me and Mustard who used this place. My other brother always preferred to be exposed to the crowd because he wanted to stand out. I guess you didn't have to rest here."

"Were you..."

Ray fans continue, as is Rusty's emotional emotion.

"My existence, which had never been known except to a limited number of human beings, was only allowed to remain in this garden. The first time I met Muster... my brother was here too. Strangely enough, he accidentally shouldn't have met or even had a name, but that guy recognized me as his sister. I couldn't help but feel a little unusual in appearance, but the core of that guy was something I felt was never evil."

But that's why I missed it, too.

"Whoa, that's too much mouth!

Rusty revealed his anger at the line's overly careless words, but the line was there and serious, and Ray fans didn't seem to care.

"It's okay, Rusty"

"But!"

"I still believe what I feel. I don't think you should change who says what to you."

Ray Fan answers as he takes a round of flowers blooming in the rough garden. While the outside of the petal was covered in plain brown, the line did not know the name of that flower that would bloom a deep red circle if flowered, but he thought it would be a flower that represented Ray fans' present mood.

"I've been thinking about it. I wonder what I can do as a royalty and what I have to wear as a royalty. I don't know much about martial arts, nor do I have much to learn. It's not superior to foresight, and it's highly questionable whether such a person can carry the future of the country."

"That's not true."

"Don't you understand?"

Rusty tried to say something to the line that would throw up disrespectful words again, but just as he no longer said anything about whether he also guessed Ray Fan's intentions. Rusty also understands that the line is never offensive. Still, if the place is a place, it is so rambling that there is no choice but to be decapitated for disrespect.

Ray fans go on further.

"Still, what I need is readiness. Knights and other civilians would be good. Because they just have to leave the final decision to me. But I can't rely on that judgment or basis for anything. It's all at my discretion. Several people die. We've already lost many lives today."

"... so?

Rhine had noticed the flow so far and what she was already trying to say by looking Ray Fan in the eye. Rusty doesn't seem to have guessed it yet, but Rhine doesn't underestimate her enough to handle it.

Ray fans then continue along a complicated branch of the road in an unmistakable foothold. In doing so, the two people invited by the Ray fans went out to the square. There is a roofed simple but elaborately decorated arch, with some tables and chairs below so that a tea party can take place. There was a seat for six.

"... there was a seat here for our father, mother and four brothers. Six of us never sat down and enjoyed the conversation."

Ray fans look a little lonely, fingering over a desk a little dusty. That's how she urged both of us to sit down when she sat in that seat, but neither of the servants could sit in the seat that the royal family used.

Seeing them like that, Ray fans laughed just a little funny.

"Let's continue the conversation. Still I won't stop, you can't stop. That's why I ask the two of you. My father died a long time ago, didn't he?

Rusty was annoyed by the words, but the line was the answer I expected more than half, so I took it calmly.

"Oh, that's..."

"Since when have you noticed?

Leaving Rusty alone trying to cloud the words, Rhine admitted lightly. Rusty wandering, but Rhine stares calmly at Ray fans. Ray fans also stared calmly at the two as much as possible again. In that gaze, there was always a strong light.

I think Rhine. Now I wonder if I'm running into a scene where the king is about to be born. My words and responses from here will surely affect what kind of leader the girl in front of me will grow up to be. That's why he stopped halfway deceiving.

Rayfan replied with a callous response like someone else did a day ago.

"I had taken it into account from the start, but I was sure earlier"

"Why?"

"I don't think we have so much enemy power anymore by holding back so many places. Yet I can't see any movement from this painting to try to respond to us at all. This is a funny story if the Father King is alive. It is also possible that the forces are being shredded to the point where nothing can be done, but this will be unusual until we get inside the royal compartment. I don't see any force holding your father back again. I thought it was reasonable to see your father dead already."

I see. How sharp is that inside?

Rhine was honestly impressed, but Rusty was very awkward. It was a fact that had to be communicated if not a little more, but it made me ashamed of what was known earlier. I also realized that I was insulting Ray Fan's way of looking at things, and Rusty was becoming more and more aware of his uncertainty and so ashamed that he wanted to go in if he had a hole.

"So, what do we do?

"... I won't do anything. If my father is not here, I will officially reign as the new king until I raise my name against my country and nations. I guess it would be more convenient if you didn't have a father."

"Heh... what makes you think that?

"Naturally. The third prince, who killed the two princes, manipulated the country all he wanted. Who can count on a king who can be helped here by an army led by another girl like this? Rather..."

"Keep it that way."

All of a sudden, the three of them were annoyed by the sound of the call. And the Lord of the Voice came into a place that opened from a different direction than the lay fans had come in.

To the unexpectedness of the person, the servant line also breathed.
