The Branded Female Fencer

"King Dreyan! No matter how many kings, I will not tolerate Krums and alliances on my own!

"King Dryan, this one?

"The only survivor of the Zamwed royal family, Princess Oolal. With his strong hope, he's invited to participate in the expedition."

I saw the princess's face like Dryan was in trouble. Because I could see such a development, I was tempted as a dryan to involve Princess O'Rall in the negotiating arena. Given her position, the princess must also be present. As much as I thought about Woolal, Dryan knew that a sober discussion was impossible.

It is Dreyan who thinks that emotional women are inappropriate in places where they are asked to push and kill emotions, such as negotiation. Dryan doesn't even hide wrinkles between his eyebrows in response to Woolal's remarks.

Woolal speaks out, ignoring Dryan, who shows such blatant difficulty.

"Have you forgotten what treatment our country was treated as doomed? This country of children suddenly waged war on us without a proper declaration of war, killing all of us until we had women and children. Skewer the escapees from behind!

"... I don't deny it. That's why I took care of my brother myself."

Ray fans were desperate to follow a bad memory and spin the word, but it had nothing to do with Woolal.

"How about that too! Are you sure you picked on my brother?

"Rude! Do you fool me, the representative of one country?

"You can say anything on the tip of your mouth! Evidence is more important than that. If you say that you have disputed your brother, it will be a lesson to bring his neck. Isn't it muscular to ask me to excuse myself on top of that?

"It's..."

There is also a point in Woolal's statement. Ray fans were troubled. At a stage when Mustar's body was not left, Rayfan planned to proceed with negotiations with Gruzaldo in a part that would not touch the Mustar issue. That's also why I calculated to pull Dryan out here.

But so was Woolal's life, and I didn't even think she was that strong. Among Ray fans, he painted a statue of a princess and a more savory figure. I didn't think of myself as a princess who was as victorious as Woolal.

A ray fan who gets stuck in words, Woolal screws up.

"You don't seem to have any words, do you? Muster and I are actually alive anyway, and after we even signed a one-end peace treaty here, we're suddenly going to attack again, aren't we? That's what cowardly people think."

"Princess Woolal, there must be enough to insult you, isn't there?

"That's all you did!!

Woolal rides himself out and slaps the table. Even though it is a woman, it is a blow of a beastly woman trained in martial arts. Woolal's tapped table is partially destroyed and drinks spill in unison.

"Even if King Dryan forgives you, I won't forgive you, will I? I will curse you forever. Whether this soul is caught in the curse of eternal resentment, I will hate you and hate you and spare you your hatred. Ahahahahahahaha."

"Princess Woolal..."

Many of those present at Woolal's crazy laughter were taken aback, but the beasts did not know how they felt. Especially familiar, such as Vargo, even accidentally sympathized with a word that could be described as a woolal madman. Calm among them are the faces and lines of the other 12 beast generals. And suddenly the line opened its mouth.

"Hey, Princess of the Beast Man"

"What?

"Who told you 'to skewer from behind'?

"What?"

Woolal twisting his neck, not knowing what the words on the line mean.

"It would be strange. When you were in the capital, the soldiers were supposed to be fighting to protect you, and even when it comes to civilians, you can't possibly tell how you were supposed to be in Royal Castle."

"Hmm, that kind of thing is something you can tell by looking at a body rolling on the battlefield. There's nothing to say."

"It's rolling, hey. You, you describe people in your own country that way?

Woolal that is clearly offensive to the words of the line.

"What's wrong with that!? What are you, more or less? Wouldn't that be a good place for a knight to speak?

"Not really. This time, I'm following you as an escort to Princess Rayfan, and that also means assisting in the negotiations. I should have a say, too. Hey, give me a break for being dirty with words, will you? He's a country guy, not like this.

I'm not used to speaking in situations. "

"Bullshit!

Woolal gets more and more intense, but the line was subjectively calm. It even looks like he's making fun of Woolal somewhere.

"Now let me ask you an answer, princess. When and where did you see the people being skewered from behind?

"I don't remember the place or anything! That's where the people were meeting their crippled eyes. Not uncommon, such as a body being killed from behind."

"That's getting weird. I heard that Groussard's military personnel are more considerate than humans. I don't see how that army would give your lady such an innocuous sight?

When Rhine makes that statement, Roch gently hears Dryan. Dryan's ears moved tingly when he heard the report, but that's why he didn't do anything about it, watching what just happened.

Woolal answers the line question.

"It's not perfect with Groussard's army. I was sneaking up on the town to see what was going on when I stole the eyes of the escort. I have my own martial arts smugness, and I have fought.

The whole town seemed terrible, perfect to know how cruel humans are! Besides, you've been making suspicious remarks about me for a while now, but is there any basis for that? If you don't, you're just guilty of disrespect, aren't you?

"Line..."

Woolal fishes and laughs at the edge of his mouth to an anxious looking ray fan. The face of the line that saw it turned into something more serious. On a face that makes you decide to be ready for something.

I see, there's no evidence.

"You've seen that! It is disrespectful to suspect a princess of a country of escort without proof. Weren't humans a more courteously noisy species?

"That's only in the case of someone they can discuss. I have no doubt about it, but I have grounds."

"What?

The arrow tip that Woolal tried to eat even more, thrown at her hand, was a small bag.

That was just after the battle was over. It was when the line was trying to sneak out of the Blossom Garden. There are those who pull his sleeves trying to get out in the dark and sneak out.

"Line"

"! That's you, don't threaten me"

It was the director of the whore who pulled the sleeve of the line. She looks up at the face of the line worrying.

"Where are you going?

"Oh, I was just wondering, to find out"

"Princess... no, you're a princess already. What about her?

"I didn't say. I don't need it, and maybe I'll just disappear."

"It's the same."

The director of the whore sighed.

"You helped us when we messed up and rubbed our guests. Even then, when I thought I'd been playing in our whorehouse for about a month, I suddenly disappeared without saying anything. If I think so, I show up pretentious. It's totally rootless, you."

"I'm a man who lives in the wind."

"Don't say that!

The director of the whore pokes the belly of the line with his elbow. The face is grumpy.

"Hold me as you like every night, and suddenly you'll be the one who's gone. What I felt when I was accidentally caged."

"Ha? Nora, you don't say a word like that..."

"I'm kidding, you don't make such a mess. Of course I do."

When the director of the whore saw the face of the blue line, he started his nose with his fingers. I guess it was meant to be a little bit of a payback. I got a little anxious just because of the small line.

"You... you're bad, huh?

"Which is better. It's worse for you to call me by name only at this time. You must have noticed as much as I meant it at one time, didn't you?

"Sort of."

Rhine said deliberately. A lot of silence wraps them up. Nora is not a particularly distinguished beauty, but she is a man lover, and most importantly, she spins her head fast. The line is more of a character that values its ability than the woman's appearance. I felt comfortable with Nora, who was smart and alert. Besides, Nora can take care of a man as a woman, and she's more hospitable at night. As for the line, she was a woman with no complaints at all as a partner (partner).

That is why Rhine left Nora's former place. Because I found out that if I stayed with her, I wouldn't be there long. And his instincts also realized that it would slowly rot his mind. But the line may not be aware that ordinary people describe "rotting" as "happiness".

Even as Nora, it might have been different if she had told me that she liked the line specially, but it could have been a man with few places to complain. That personality, which somehow cast a shadow on it, suited her. She is also a heartbroken person.

Either way, it was a long time ago for each other. Nora decided to break it off at least that way. Because I don't want to draw any more regrets. Nora, who has regained her mind, tells Rhine.

"I already know you're not someone to be tied to, but just leave me the means to contact you anyway, okay? If you don't, he's pitiful."

"Well, I'll be able to get in touch with Rusty. Yeah, shouldn't you serve in court?

"Huh?"

Nora is surprised by the sudden suggestion.

"Hey, what's that..."

"Actually, I already have a suggestion for Ray fans. Of course you're the assassins. Ray, the fans want you to have it whenever you want."

"Well, I wouldn't even hope so. We can't be whores forever, either."

"Do me a favor, too. It's going to be tough around Ray fans. It would be a relief to have people like you by my side. Anyway, the enemy isn't normal."

"Isn't that normal? What do you mean?"

Rhine explained the rays of this battle. I didn't mean to get Nora involved, but the line that looked heavier than I could have imagined, I didn't think it was weird for them to be involved in any way either. At least it matters if Krums is wrapped up in war, and you could say he's already involved.

Nora listened to the story in silence, but the servant also seemed to have difficulty judging.

"... I kind of get the conversation for now, but the conversation's too big to be on my side."

"I know that. I don't mean to make up your mind now, but I want you to make up your mind early."

"Mmm, that's right. I've cared more about it than that in my current story. Do you have a minute?

"What?

Nora walked away prompted me, and the line continued later.

"What did you care?

"The magic swordsman and the lady. If he's that strong, it wouldn't be weird if his name was sold."

Nora stops and looks around.

"Was it around here that you fought that woman?

"Oh."

"Where did you play something that flew in?

"The right hand of the fountain."

"Do you remember the direction you played the flying object?

"Sure... that way."

Nora walks in the direction indicated by the line. Exactly, the surroundings were dark and even lighting Cantera was hard enough to find. When the two of them look for it for a while, they find the place they want.

"Is this it?

"Maybe. This is... what's buried?

"Don't you understand the habit of playing it yourself?

"I couldn't afford that much in the middle of the fight. He was just so tough."

So blurry, what the line took from the chosen marks on the wall...
