The Branded Female Fencer

The next day, as the sun rose, Anneclose came to greet Jaeger. And Dodo, Mistna, and Katra had already woken up.

Apparently, the palace is picking me up, and I need to keep watch until then. Although the mercenaries were not soldiers, the Palace of Romanesse Land was originally subject to rigorous scrutiny and identity checks, even by the Dento Hall, and some people could not leave the Palace for several years or finish their lives there once they had climbed the Hall.

Even the generals undergo rigorous physical inspections to enter and exit, and only royalty can enter and exit freely. It is said that dignitaries from other countries are also mostly entertained in this first level. It was only the general captain of Friederinde's Tenma Knights who invited people from outside to such a center.

It was unusual to have mercenaries there, and it was only Dodo from Müller's Iron Man. Mistona, Cattoria, Verfra, Marguerite, Emerge, and somehow Tasha were selected from Friedelinde's Tenma Knights.

Six people were originally allowed to climb the alphi lease, but it was explained that Dodo refused to let the others go, and Anneclose requested that Alphi lease also select six people from Jaeger.

Alphilees chose Lisa, Lunatica, Darron, Closse, and Lana. This is what happens when I think about the fate of Romansland and the power of war. I was surprised that Lunatica might have joined us, but it seemed that Layer had gone somewhere else on that leg, seeing only the path that leads to here.

"It's not a staircase, is it?"

"I saw an undercover path that was unobstructed by the gate." It's what we have to do. ”

When Lunatica's neck is blown away, Alpha Reese once again realizes how awesome they are. Except for the regular route, it was supposed to be a fortress in Heaven to prevent any intruders. How did you come up to this height on a rocky skin that was so brittle and slippery that it peeled off when you put your fingers on it? We won't be able to do anything but them anyway, so don't ask me for details.

And when I heard the tip of the layer, I was just curious, so I decided to leave it as it was. With the current layer, it would be better to follow his intuition.

And when Alpha Reese had them dressed up as Jaeger, a stunning flying dragon suddenly landed in front of the guard's time. It was King Swendle himself who controlled the flying dragon.

"Chi, Father? I can't afford to wait until the time--"

The way Anneclose stroked her head in a panic and exclaimed, it seemed like she was going to mourn the child.

"I think there's still time for a walk, because the people upstairs are waiting for you." It's my playfulness. And I haven't been riding around with him lately. I'm old now, but I thought I'd be dull if I didn't exercise. "

Swendle patted Aidan on the neck. The dragon, which boasted a huge body, was elderly. It seemed that it was not suitable for jumping long distances, but the eyes that lit the light of intelligence were moving slowly to identify the humans.

As I did so, I saw Alpha Reese, and the dragon stopped moving. Seeing that, Swendle laughs.

I'm sure you're interested in that woman after all.

What is it?

With a slightly nervous expression, Swendle reached out unexpectedly.

"Stay with me a little bit, Alpha Reese." It's a morning walk. "

"Hah, I refuse." I don't want to be handcuffed. "

Anneclose, whose complexion turned red or blue, said something to Alpha Reese, who declined lightly, but Swendle laughed loudly and pulled Alpha Reese's hand.

"Hahaha, the woman who refuses my invitation is just like you." Don't worry, I haven't fallen as far as the sky bridge. That's the spiritual backbone of the Dragon Knights of Roman's Land. "

If that's the case, just a little bit.

"When the time comes, I'll send you straight to the palace." I'll borrow your commander! "

Swendle whispered as she dumbfounded Lisa against the boulder and put Alphileys on the dragon's back.

"There's something I need to tell you."

Without changing his expression, Alpha Leith grabbed Swendle's back and flew off with Swendle, announcing that she would meet him up there.

And when they came to the heavenly rock bridge, they were just going to watch the sun rise over it. It was wide enough for the flying dragon to stop, but the wind was strong and the skin of the rock slipped. If I make one mistake, while it crashed far down, Alpha Reese stood firmly without fear, shaking her brunette in the strong wind.

Spectacular view, isn't it?

"That's right. This is completely natural, but the Dragon Knights come here because of something." I want to cry, I'm sad, I'm happy. Since the founding of the People's Republic, you've seen all of this rocky bridge. Nowadays, there are occasions when they meet and propose, but it seems like the times have passed. I come here because I have troubles, but I haven't been here in a long time. "

Or is it a private conversation?

Swendle nodded tinyly to Alpha Reese's grand question.

"The airflow around here is unstable." It is suicidal to approach here at dawn, especially during the fog and cloudy hours. This... Dufest's feathers could withstand a bit of incitement, but with an ordinary flying dragon, the feathers would break and crash into a rock bridge. In fact, only fairly skilled Dragon Knights could come here. It's a proof of publicity, isn't it? "

“I see. Few visitors, and the sensor's hearing is blocked by the sound of the wind.”

"And the extra bugs can't get close." I've only recently learned about it. "

In response to Swendle's words, Alpha Reese had a strange look on her face.

Orloisage ― ― No, what is the relationship between Calamity and you?

“What do you think?”

"It's just a puppet of Calamity."

Swendle laughed thinly at Alpha Leith's tooth in a way that she would not dress up.

"He wanted to, but he didn't. He remodeled me, but I took control. He was terrified, too, that he was the first to be able to move by his own will while being taken over. But there is a price. Far from him, this body begins to weaken. Mentally equal, but physically dependent on Calamity. I can't get away from him. When you leave the country, you must be accompanied by Orloisage.”

I knew it ― ― The main body of Calamity is here, right?

"Yes, it seemed like it was already here when I was born." It seems that full-fledged rule began before and after I was officially elected Crown Prince. I'll tell you a little bit about myself, him, and this country, because it's going to be important to you. "

Then, with a slightly nostalgic look on his face, Swendle began to talk about the past and the country.
