The Branded Female Fencer
The War of Fools, Part 38 - With Knights and Princesses
From the next morning, Rhine and Ray fans only had a stereotypical conversation. There are only princesses and loyal knights there, and the negotiations went too well. As initially thought by Ray fans, Gruzaldo and I agreed that Krums would cede a portion of the land. Still, much more territory had been taken by Krums in this war and had swelled to nearly triple, to put it in terms of national territory alone.
Of course, the possibility of civil unrest being unleashed by the remnants of Tragaslon was well thought out, and reports of civil unrest were already being received everywhere as a matter of fact. But Ray fans were turning heads more than anyone else thought. It was with the intention of borrowing Gruzaldo's army against this Traguslon rebellion that we made our concessions to Gruzaldo. Of course what we offer each time is already built into Ray fans' heads. Rayfan was willing to use Gruzaldo as a back shield from the edge in order to survive a country called Krums.
The only time Rhine noticed that was when he asked questions jokingly. I wondered what I would do if I were the champion of Nakahara. Rayfan answered this with a little worry.
"Even if Krums dominates Nakahara, he'll have a lot of external enemies in trouble, so get someone to do the Nakahara champion instead. What about that?
Maybe Ray fans have been drawing this schematic since I thought about it. In that case, eventually this war will have worked just as Ray fans think. To Ray Fan's idea and his cunning, Rhine remembers his liver getting a little cold. Maybe I'm glad Ray fans aren't enemies.
And the negotiations ended the way Ray fans thought. 3 days after starting the meeting. Alliances entered into at a faster rate than expected will take effect shortly thereafter.
When the treaty was signed, Rayfan quickly turned back to Krums. By the night the treaty was signed, Rayfan had already been in the Royal Castle.
"Welcome home, Lady Ray Fan"
It was Rusty and Nora who welcomed him. Although I am a ray fan who was supposed to be resting in a maintenance area, the colour of fatigue is dark on its face and I don't think anyone has rested. Such Ray fans push their tired bodies and get reports from Rusty.
"Rusty, do you have a rush case?
"No, you don't have to hurry..."
"This is an important time. Just give me what I need right now."
"... okay. Then there have been reports of an impending civil unrest in the Ronnell region..."
Seeing the sight, the line gently left the room behind. Because I thought there was nothing I could do anymore, and I thought it was a mistake to reward Ray fans. Plus, I didn't like being here any more, because I was about to grow an extra desire. Rhine gently walked away from the scene.
And along the way, he caught sight of a royal garden that was being rebuilt. The site was smaller than before, and only a building like Azumaya was still in the center. Once only that painting is visible from the surroundings, it is already hidden with a tall implant. I don't know the name of the plant on the line, but in some seasons it is probably a plant that blossoms beautifully.
Rhine walked to the place to be led by something.
"I guess there's no more... family gatherings, Ray fans. That would be pitiful. Couldn't there have been a better solution..."
"That's what battles are all about, isn't it?
It was Ray fans who spoke from behind the line they were distracted from. A line that surprised her when she suddenly appeared.
"Hey, the job..."
"Nora distracted me."
Rusty says it's hard to report work to Ray fans who are in a hurry to realize the line has left. It means that Nora, who boiled her business, forced Rusty to sleep by spraying sleeping pills. Forceful means, but to grate Ray fans, Nora signaled with a glance.
And Ray fans came after the line without one or two. Looking at the girl, Rhine realized that a different light was dwelling in the girl's eyes.
"So? What can I do for you?
"Yes, because I didn't give you this reward yet."
Ray fans take a single letter out of his nostalgia.
"About where we first met?
"Oh. That was the back alley of Trimedo."
"Yes, we divide the rewards among the people who lend money in that town. I know it's a hassle, but I don't think I can trust anyone in the money lending business."
"No, it's a prudent response. That's fine."
Rhine received the writ with a little admiration. The ray fan grabs the hand gently.
"There's another thing I need to give you."
"Huh, good stuff?
"Yeah, it's more than that, privately."
The line kneels naturally in the magical face of the Ray fans and takes his benefactory thanks. If it's true, I should have done so from the beginning, but I guess the neighborhood is a person named Rhine.
A necklace that is gently wrapped around the neck of a line on one knee. The line is kept face down very much, but it was left, but eventually a voice is heard from Ray fans.
"Line, raise your face."
"Maybe... eh"
Something soft blocked that lip as the line tried to raise its face. In front of the open line was a Ray fan with a look he had never known before. Line with eyes open to unexpected events.
It seemed to me that the time had stopped as it was, but it was only about the time they felt, the wind flowed slowly, the bugs sang love songs like the summers were in full swing, and the world was marking the same time as usual. Men and women who leave slowly in it.
"Whatever it is... will you go?
"... oh, I'm going. No matter who stops it."
"Really?"
A moment of shade fell on Ray Fan's eyes, but it was also a moment. As Ray Fan left the line, he plugged his ring into the indentation of the table in the center of Azuya and turned it. Then there was a chilling sound and part of the floor opened.
"It's a royal escape route. It was originally here, but we built Azumaya to hide it."
"Are you sure? Tell me."
"I don't mind. You and I are the only ones who know this path. They don't even know what they made because they split fine with the designers and the builders"
A ray fan lights the cantera near the entrance. Then the road was divided into two strands.
"If you go right, it continues all the way to the city. Normally, even you would stand out from this royal castle, wouldn't you? It's night time, and you should leave softly."
"What about the left?
"It continues into my private room. And the necklace you left behind is another key."
A line to hear the words and a ray fan laughing at them. The expression was already less visible to the young girl who knew the line, and she had already indicated that she had begun to transform into an adult woman.
"I can only wait for this. The best I can do. Again, I cannot abandon my country from myself. I'm a coward."
"... five years."
The line shrugged to Ray fans, who laughed slightly and thinly lonely. Ray fans who can't hear that word and unwittingly listen back.
"Now what?
"Wait five years. In the meantime, I'll clean up my current job and show it to you. No, you don't have to clean it up, I'll show up to you. If there's no woman in love with me then... and you still like me or something... then I'll make you my woman. Is that all right?
I was a decent ray fan when I heard the word, but eventually there were natural and large tears spilling out of both eyes. And a ray fan who covers his mouth with his hands with an impressive face and nods and shows it again and again.
That's all Rhine checked, turning his back on her like he was lit.
"Bye, Ray fan. When I came to see you, I didn't know you were a good woman."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure... I'm sure..."
To say all that, Rhine turned right onto the road as he lit Cantera. Dropping off that back was one girl, as king, trying to climb endlessly long stairs as a woman.
