The Branded Female Fencer

"We've got a thousand chiefs on board."

It's a big day.

"That's right. Slowly, division leader - that's what I was told.Instead, he will serve a three-year term in the unit directly under His Highness Dioré.That was the deal. "

"When I became a unit under Dioré..."

"Front lines on the eastern border. The battlefield is targeted by barbarians like the Warriors of Wanu-Yoda, led by Orlu, or monsters who are asked to crush Class A or S.Many are just peaceful sentries, but suddenly fierce battles can unfold like the fort collapses.Alexandria's inability to dominate the continent is due to the fierce fighting on this eastern border. "

"Did you deploy there?"

"Oh, it's been about a year and a half.That's where I learned a lot about the war. "

"--What happened?"

Alphilis dared to ask the heart of the story.The line breathed heavenly and drooped.

"... I can't tell you the details. Though my feelings have not been sorted out, I can't despise people's honor any more.I loved everybody... and I still want to think it was a mistake. "



"The only thing I can tell you is that she died with no honor, no dignity... neither her father nor her brother.Everything in my life has been ruined by the middle of nobility's shit.I killed the original nobleman on the spot.And then I'm a hunter. Killing a nobleman for any reason is capital punishment.At least I'm not immune to permanent exile.

There were a lot of people in the army who could cover for me, but I feared they might even get involved.His Majesty's troops are Alexandria's lifeline and the liver of the army.Alexandria without them is like a house without foundation.Because of me alone, I couldn't let you fall into such a feather.No, it might come to mind. "

"... about Alexandria."

Alphilis was grasping something that bothered him, so he decided to talk to the line.The line is sharp and smart. I felt that if I realized that I didn't have to say anything, I should tell you now.And it was believed that they had enough strength to accept it.

I think Lord Barotelli, the head of the mission, was murdered.

"... who, for what?"

"I don't know. As for Alexandria, I'd like to hide it, but he didn't show up and obviously has fewer guards.Besides, Dioré himself, there was only a minimum supply in the waiting room for the game.Even though we only bring a predetermined number of people, including contestants, it's odd that there aren't people in the iconic Diorre game.The investigation revealed that Alexandria's faction was suddenly in shock.Besides, I was able to make sure the cloth was gently transported by carriage.I'm sure Lord Barotelli was murdered first. "

"... is the killer a Knights-of-Night?"

"There's a high probability of that.If you're going to kill Dioré himself, you're going to aim for the moment of the competition.I checked with Miranda, but we can't use magic, but we're free to enter from the outside.In other words, a sniper weapon such as a bow or arrow cannot be prevented by magic.If you kill the Knight of the Spirit, it will be most effective during the competition.

We raided the inn on purpose.Then I will aim for Lord Barotelli from the beginning.If you do that, it's natural to think of Knights-of-Knights as your opponent, both in terms of motivation and strength.I just don't know why. What's in it for me to discredit my country? "

― Civil war, huh?

Alphilis breathed into the line's words.Alexandria became immobile during the civil war.What does that mean?

Alphilis put his hand on his chin and thought.Of course, the director of the facility at the peace conference was murdered.At least we'll find the killer, but will it be an immediate civil war?Dioré is also a calm warrior and a major town that has supported the country for a long time.Will she take such a choice?

Rhine answered as if he had understood Alphiris's thoughts.

"As Ibran said, the military has crossed its limits a long time ago.One more step in the battle everywhere, the middle nobles have been pulling their feet for more than a hundred years.There have been dozens of times when supplies have been interrupted, requests for reinforcements have been arbitrarily reduced, and boiled water has been consumed.

They did not take the form of a civil war, thanks, for example, to the presence of Dioré.She has always forgiven everyone so as not to cross the last line.Sometimes I turn to home affairs to stabilize the country, but Dioré must be at his limit. "

"If you start a rebellion, how far do you think you're going to go?"

"I would never kill a royal family.That's how Diore-sama's Spirit Knight is - well, Alfilis.Is that what you're trying to say?Suppose Dioré dies in some sort of "accident" with a rebellion, Dioré could lose his power as a Ghost Knight? "

Alphilis nodded. And he talked about more terrifying possibilities.
