My name is Luxeria von Ascarid. I am the current king of this country, the Ascarid Federation. ...... This treasure sword is proof of that.

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, and their bodies trembled.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it. But I didn't do that because I wanted to hear their own words with my own ears. I swear by my sword that I am not lying here.

I'm not going to tell you what to do.

...... Now, tell me. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me why I've been complicit in the torment of my precious people.

I asked, but no one answered.

They seemed to be in despair and turned away from the reality of the truth that was suddenly thrown at them.

It's not like that,......, what the hell are we doing here,......?

In the heavy air, Yumis's murmur echoed awkwardly.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to make of it.

"......They said they would save us. ......! The magical children.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'll try.

"Save?

I'm not sure if you're aware of this,......, but we're all magicians. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. I'm a ...... magician, and my parents abandoned me. Yumis there was violated by his family. ...... is Anita.

In place of Youmis, who was crying and unable to connect her words, the young man called Ben took over.

...... I let my magic get out of control, and not only me but even my family was cut off from the village. In the end, it was as if my father and mother were killed by the people of the village.

The other members of the ...... group are all very similar. So we created this Etoile so that we can live with ...... our magic, or rather, with our special skills because of our magic.

There was no lie in his words.

I finally got my business going. So I went around to different towns and villages. I've been to a lot of towns and villages, and I wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy themselves in a place with as little entertainment as possible. ......

As if in response to his words, every member of the group who was listening was crying out in their hearts, as if they were still in pain.

But what we saw there were children just like us. At first, this group took them in. But there was a limit to what we could do. ...... Still, we couldn't abandon them. ......

So you took advantage of Carl's sweet words.

...... Carl said he would help me! He said he would teach the children how to control their magic and help them live on their own. ......

...... In a way, he will teach the children to control their magic.

I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Why did you trust Carl?

Because ...... he's an errand boy for the Marquis of Beckford. ......

I can't really blame them for this.

It is the king of this country who has given you the splendid sign of the Marquis.

Even though it's .......

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

They didn't know anything about it. I'm not sure what to make of that. ......, is that right?

They nodded in confusion at my question.

...... is a good nuisance.

I let out a sigh and said away.

"No, ......!

"Isn't that right? They are the ones who have knocked the children into the depths of despair.

That's .......

You didn't know? Ignorance is not an excuse. If you have decided to help the children, you should have taken care of them until the end. If he had decided to help them, he should have taken care of them until the end.

"Are you saying that you should have just abandoned them?

I shouted, losing my momentum.

"Well, that's how it turned out.

No. ......

I told you I should have taken care of him until the end. Why did you let it happen? Why didn't you think it through? Your decision is noble,......, I admit it. But if this is the result, then no one will be rewarded.

At my shout, Anita stood up.
