The Branded Female Fencer

"Miranda, what's wrong with you?"

"... I haven't slept in about three days. Exactly. Atashi is also limited in strength."

"Is the errand so intense?"

"There's that too. But lately, I've had a bad headache."

"Headache?"

It was the first time in a long relationship that Miriazal had also heard of Miranda not suing for one of her physical changes, no matter how much she teased her booze or sent her to the barren earth. My first intention to blame Miranda had already been lost somewhere.

"Miranda, don't you need rest"

"If you're going to give it to me, I'll take it, but you don't have time for that now, do you? Just sending a pilgrimage to the end of the demons that appear there is a lot of work. We need to compile a report on the new demon king that's coming up from them, and we need to discuss the measures. At the same time, we have to take into account the suspicious people wandering around the master. This is even if Lizard Manadil takes the lead in preparing for the Arnelia 400th Anniversary Festival and the Lizard of the Dride does other superficial general tasks. I'm not too busy. What I want is manpower, manpower. I'd rather borrow a cat's hand than a moi bird's mouth, actually."

"Hmm, I think Lapenti's pretty good."

"I'm assuming that Lapenty has a good chance of plotting an assassination of the master, but Atashi..."

Elsa's and Miriazal's expressions sharpen in Miranda's words.

"Is that still the case?

"You've been a little on the subject before. You still think you have feelings that just don't convince you?

"I thought he wasn't the only one who was cautious and smart enough not to get his tail out, but rather devoured by our church. Then the number of people is squeezed. Lapenti could be called the head of it.

Apart from love, how did your lord know he was suspicious?

"Nothing, I just don't care from the start. When Atashi gave a speech in front of the pilgrims, he didn't rebel, but took the other powerful men and put sesame seeds in Atashi. I hate guys who do sesame seeds, but I feel like I'm here to threaten you more than that. 'I have all these people, so please divide them up if you can.' Perhaps too much."

"Maybe not. I was late on a pilgrimage assignment and again not very much affected by Lapenti due to the amount of outings, but I did get powdered. It wasn't a particularly intimidating atmosphere, it was about joining our own camp or anything. I said no at first thinking that there would be no factional feuds or anything left belonging to the same church, and I was wondering who you were going to argue with, but if that's the case, I'm convinced. She was going to chase Miriazal down from the beginning."

Elsa added, Miriazal and Miranda looked a little uncomfortable.

"Lapenti... I know him when he was younger, but it's hard to say."

"What was he like?

"First of all, he was one of the most beautiful sisters in Arnelian history. A woman with such a vivid beauty that all the flowers around her faded when he walked. That's what elegantly behaves like again, so the monks at the time were immersed in training. I guess it's impossible not to be blinded by any sturdy thing. Even the demon eagle of the same sex doesn't feel right watching it."

"So much?"

"Yes, not so much. Take a look at Tarrum's best whore forminations and the exceptionally beautiful historical Aphrodite captains of Friedelinde's Tenma knights. Compared to you, you can beat me. And the way in which you enter training, the diligence, goes hand in hand. He refused all the invitations of the national nobles who had studied in Gloria and Arnelia at the time, volunteered and stayed on the mission of pilgrimage, but quickly became said to be the best of his time with strength.

Loyalty is one of the best again. The eyes that look at the eagle shined as if they were looking at the Absolute. I feel somewhat extreme, but I can't make a mistake, so I threw it away. Anyway, I'm not sure he was a trusted subordinate. I don't know if you've imitated life for me. "

Miriazal thought about it with his arms all the time, but there seems to be no verse to think of. I'm used to being targeted for my life. But there seems to be no reason for Lapenty to target us. I'm going to reward you enough so far, and I trusted you. The two of us have talked many times about a better way of this continent. There have been various reforms that have taken Lapenti's opinion into account. And yet, if you're just complaining, you still know, but you don't know why they're after you to your life. Because even when opinions were in conflict, they were opponents who could be adequately resolved in discussions.

Miranda spoke to the troubled Miriazal.
