The Escape of Layla
Episode 35 (Leanhardt Perspective)
"Destiny Man" is dead.
I promised to marry you, a week later.
Hundreds of years after the Age of Migawa, I was born as the eldest son of the main house of the Leweyne clan with cursed blood. I guess I'm just a direct descendant of the princess of Ogawa and the escort knight. My magic powers are considerably stronger than those of any other sorcerer, and I think they received a lot of attention in the sorcery division.
"The boulder is the future division leader, we'll do it."
Oddly enough, Haino, who was born at the same time as me, was also known by the characteristic gray hair of Haino and my dark hair as "black and white bi-perfect" and other aliases that were embarrassing. I guess I got that name because it was about Heino who could cross parity with my magic the most, but even then it was my feeling that it didn't matter.
A hundred years after I was born, I'm tired of living anymore. An irreplaceable peaceful city, a kingdom that keeps making similar mistakes, Altair, everything was boring and boring and I couldn't help it.
"... if I'm tied to the 'Destiny Man', I want to die that day already"
When I squealed that word, which was almost cliche, Heino stared at me in a pulling mood next door.
"You... don't say such noisy things with such a serene face"
"I'm tired of that kind of haino, even living."
"Don't be with you. At least I'll take care of that when Fate shows up."
"... Heino's a surprisingly romantic."
Along with Haino, he snarls and squeaks as he walks along the border between the kingdom and the phantom king's capital. Now it was time for the exorcism of the boredom demons, only famous for the witchcraft division's outlook. Although all the major demons disappeared in the Age of Miga, there are rarely any small objects left. It was just the right place to exude useless magic.
I'm bored, I want to die, I can't help it. Colorless days. It might be interesting if there was even a war going on.
I walked without guessing as the next head of the Sorcery Division to glorify peace supremacy, picturing things as roughly unworthy.
One day, a big turning point comes to me.
Without any foretaste, all of a sudden, the man appeared before me with the scent of white lilies.
That day, the moonlight was a bright night. Bright enough that the stars around you scratch out, you don't even have to magically light the lamp.
Walking along the boundaries of the Fantasy King's Capital with Haino, as usual, I noticed the smell of blood mixed with the night breeze.
"Have you noticed?
Heino asks me with a gentle vigilance around.
"Oh, I wonder what. I wonder if even animals are dead."
There are also small cliffs around here, so sometimes unfortunately the fallen animals were dead. But that makes me uncomfortable.
"Under the cliff?
Heino goes off the road and peeks under the cliff. I had no choice but to take a look under the moonlight cliff following Haino.
There were some rolling horse carriages and human bodies like yours and servants. It was not in itself so uncommon for carriages to pass, as when returning from neighbouring countries they would have to use this road to make a major detour. If nothing happens, it's a wide enough road, but with some clap, that carriage must have fallen off this cliff. Some of the bodies are miserable enough not to retain their original form.
"Wow, this is hiatus. And it's a royal carriage."
"Yeah."
"Yeah, well, you... you really don't look good on my face and it's cold..."
"You've seen so many corpses rot. I envy Haino, who feels fresh every time."
Yes, I've seen people's bodies rot. It was such an unlucky accident, or after being eaten to death by demons, I have seen many bodies in scattered conditions.
"Um, do I mourn you? I hope I brought it to the kingdom, but if we show up, it'll be a hassle..."
"You can do it on your own. I'll go first."
"You're the next cold division leader..."
I lost interest and just tried to keep looking around, and then, uh, there was something moving under the cliff that caught my eye.
It was a silver-haired girl wearing a light water dress. The girl has some white lilies in her hands. It was very thin and dirty because of the accident, but somehow I couldn't keep my eyes off the girl. Considering why, oh, I was convinced.
"Oh, you have survival. And silver hair...... Wow, you're a royal princess. What do we do? Leanhardt. You want me to send them to you?
"... that's her"
"Huh?"
"Mine, The Destiny Man."
"What?"
I was trying to slide down a cliff and go for the girl. [M] The Sorcery Division's blue coat was dirty, but I don't even care about that.
The girl seemed to be sobbing her pale eyes and offering each and every white lily to her body with tears in her eyes. From what I've seen, even though this girl is like a princess in the kingdom, she's an unusual princess mourning the death of servants and servants.
"... I'm already dead, but I don't know if I need to worry about it"
Honestly, I don't know if there was a better word for it, but I'm going to regret this for the next few hundred years, but this is the only dialogue I could throw up at this time. Did the girl finally realize this one existed, shaking her shoulder like a fright for a moment and staring at this one?
Beautiful, I thought it was ethereal. It's like a jewel pale. Because he was moisturized by tears, he reflected the moonlight and looked glittering.
Right, this beautiful person is the one who's destined.
This girl will end my boredom. It frees me from these colorless days. To be honest with that expectation, I may have floated.
"... I don't know how people feel about Reaper."
He threw up like that and was surprised. After being treated like a reaper, it's unexpected that the "Destiny Man" will make you so cold.
"Death is not a big deal. I can grab the magic though."
"... don't you see this situation? It's not like you're dating a joke. I don't know if it's a trap or not, but if you kidnapped me, your father wouldn't shut up."
"That's troublesome. I was thinking I'd go say, 'Please send your daughter to me' now."
I meant to say it very seriously, but the girl just turned a frightened glance at me.
"How can you say that before a woman who is grieving over the loss of a valued servant?"
"Well, I've got a lot going on too. Anyway, I'll send you. Can I have the castle?
"Oh, hey, come on"
Embracing the girl, the white lily flowers fell all over her. The two of us were lit up in the moonlight, and I think the girl finally saw my face here.
"I'm glad you're not hurt, my Destiny Man."
If you smile softly at the girl, the girl darkens the confusion color even more. I screamed at Haino on the cliff, holding the girl in my arms.
"I'm going to send this girl over for a minute. I asked you to look around!
"Hey, hey, Leanhardt! I'm not going to the Imperial Castle."
Without hearing Heino's words, I activate metastatic magic while holding a girl. I knew where I was going as soon as I got a little peek into the girl's memory.
Make a transfer and land on a balcony in a room on the south side of the Royal Castle. From a peek into my memory, this would be the living space for this girl. From the balcony, carefully prepared conditioning was seen. All of them are of good quality.
"You're a princess, aren't you?"
"... you, what the hell"
The girl dropped off on the balcony looked up at me hesitantly. I thought you were a strong-minded kid, but I didn't feel bad for the first reaction I saw magic.
"I'm Lenhardt Lewayne, the magician. I've been expecting you, Amelia."
From what I can remember peeking earlier, it seems that this girl's name was Amelia. Amelia looks up at me with an increasingly surprising face.
"Me? And a magician..."
"Ah, people are here"
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but there were signs of people across Amelia's room. Even the servant must have come. It should be troublesome if they find out the princess is in close contact with a man at midnight like this.
"People are nowhere..."
It was almost at the same time that Amelia looked up at me, looking back and watching how things were going, and I activated the metastatic magic.
"I'll be back, Amelia."
You heard something like a little scream because you thought I jumped. Unfortunately I couldn't see that surprised face because I had a metastasis, but I let one cheek loosen that this was going to be interesting.
"Charlotte, can you do this in a way that doesn't bleed when you try to die yourself"
Back at the mansion, my admirably sick sister was just stabbing a knife in her body. I wonder as my sister wonders why she repeats herself, even though she can't die anyway, but she decides to leave it alone because there is no real harm.
"annoying annoying annoying, quick, quick kill me..."
I find myself harmed unexpectedly, sideways with my sister poking a knife around my chest crying. I was going to eat the apple I bought in the corner, and apparently that fool sister is using it for suicide that can't even be fulfilled to a fruit knife.
"... I hope you don't use the fruit knife because it will taste worse"
"Oh, really, why is your brother so floating!? I don't know when it's gonna end. Aren't you afraid of these days!?
Charlotte screamed as she threw her bloody knife over here and pulled over. I don't feel like peeling an apple with a knife with my sister's blood attached to the boulder. Even if I washed it, I can feel something. I had no choice but to eat every apple on the skin.
"Oh, that's it, but I'm about done. Because yesterday I met" The Destiny Man ""
"Ha!?
A sip of the apple ruined the taste because of someone bloody in front of you.
"I knew... would you stop wounding yourself like blood? The apple tastes worse."
"No, no, no, wait a minute!" Destiny Man "? Are you serious? Who's who?
"The third princess of the kingdom Altair, a child named Amelia Altair"
"Are you a princess!?
Where were his dark eyes when he was stabbing his body earlier, and Charlotte glistened his eyes and approached beneath me. With my sister, it's the amplitude of a worrying mental state. Besides, I really want you to stop because the smell of blood gets thicker when you get too close.
"That's important! To be tied to a princess, might I run off after all?
"I guess so. If a magician asks a princess to marry him with dignity, it's going to be a hassle."
Though the royal family of the kingdom of Altair also contains the blood of Lewayne, it was clear that we and the people of the kingdom were incompatible. Again, I guess the only way to get tied is to run off.
"Oh... but you're not gonna leave me until your brother..."
I escaped the mansion softly with the apple I was about to eat, creeping my sister out with a knife in her eyes again.
I tried Amelia on the balcony of the castle and she burst into tears, incredibly. From the day Amelia said, "I like white lilies best," she held a bouquet of white lilies that I bring to souvenirs every day indispensably, and Amelia was quite beautiful crying in the light of the moon. She looked up at me with pity as I smiled and watched Amelia unexpectedly because she was so beautiful.
"... Lenhardt, you're too emotionally oblivious"
"Me?
Neglected emotions, huh? I've been told to rot in Haino that it doesn't look good on my face and is cold or too indifferent, but this was the first time anyone pointed out that I was neglectful of emotions.
"You can't think of your sister's pain, can you? You were when we met."
This is about the seventh time I've come to see Amelia, but this was the first time I've been told a story I've stepped in so far. In the third time or so, I finally got her to believe in the existence of a mage, and in the fifth, I talked about Lewayne's blood curse. Is this the seventh time I've welcomed you like that? Amelia is funny because she always reacts fresh.
"I never thought about it, but maybe I am."
"... it makes me nervous to watch something."
"But I want you to like me."
"I guess that's because I'm The Destiny Man, isn't it? I don't think you love me."
"Well, then, you tell me your feelings. You're the only one who can tell me what it means to love."
"... suddenly you're talking, don't be stunned"
Amelia dyed her cheeks red and accidentally missed her gaze from me. I kind of don't care that I won't be able to see that beautiful pale, and I turn this way with my hand on Amelia's cheek.
"Turn around, Amelia"
"Huh... I'm really, unconsciously telling you, it's horrible! Your face is beautiful for nothing, so be a little more aware!
"Awareness?"
"Oh, already......! Leannhardt and I are going crazy."
"I enjoy spending time with Amelia."
"Yeah, well, really...... Me too, it's fun."
Amelia looked up at me and smiled beautifully as she grinned. I thought I was crying until earlier, and I laugh like this right away, so Amelia never gets tired of watching.
