... the royal palace was always in a hurry.

In addition to the state of emergency of war, King Luceria fell.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Everyone was busy doing what he had to do, except for the sleeping Luceria.

However, thanks to the reforms she pushed forward, whether fortunate or unfortunate, the government managed to keep going even in the absence of the king.

... and that night.

"... where are you going?

My voice melts into darkness.

Beyond that, Wilhelm stood.

"Surprised.... why do you think I'm here?

"Thanks to my memory, I can now use magic.... with my magical "contradiction," I know who will enter and exit the royal palace by laying boundaries around it. "

Even more than before, Wilhelm reflected his surprise on his face.

"... I'm a lot reckless."

"It's only natural to be careful not to harm Luceria in the unlikely event that she falls.

"How many people do you think will get in and out?... how dare you confuse me? "

It's guts.

"... so comfortable.If only a maid like you were by her side. "

"Please don't distract me.So, where are you going?

Wilhelm frowned in trouble in my pursuit.

"... if I were here, Luxeria would be in trouble.There's no time to get out of here without the chaos in the palace. "

"No way...Luceria is sad. "

Wilhelm smiled bitterly.

"... I'm a sinner.That fact cannot be overturned. "

"But that's what your father did, isn't it?

"Even so, the crime of attempting to overthrow the state is a clan feudal.If I were you, I'd be dead. "

"... I won't be held guilty of that crime.Even with the Sword of Love, Wilhelm lived a long time.Those who do not die after being judged by a treasure sword will be forgiven for any suspicion they may have received from the King, right?

A voice different from ours floated in the darkness of the night.

"Tommy"

Call the Lord of Voices and Tommy will show up.

I see.... that's what Marquis Orcott said.I didn't know it meant anything to me when I was stabbed. "

"Hmm? Didn't you know?

"Ah... because there was hardly any so-called treasure sword in my house"

"I can't believe you're laughing and receiving a treasure sword... or that your liver is sitting there?"

"I just didn't think about anything.At that stage, there was only one hand left for me, and that was the best hand and goal I had ever painted.Well... I mean, I guess I cut off all the hands I could, and I'm relieved to cut them off. "

"... but Luceria was sad to lose you.I was suffering.Never again can you grieve Luceria.If you're not guilty, that's all.... "

"... even if I'm not guilty, there's no place for me in the palace.The name of sin follows me. He's Radford's son.Son of a sinner. "And I said, "Why would Lucería put the son of such a sinner on her side?"

"That's...."

"Besides, we are finally shredding the power of the five great marquises in the country and gathering power in the king.Those of the old factions should be evacuated here. "

Wilhelm moved his stopped leg again.

"You must love Luceria...!?

Turn your back and scream.

"I can't do it...!Even if I didn't show my heart to Lucery-san..... "

"... be confident.She has a very reassuring look on her face when she's with you. "

"Hold on!

"... I love you."

The murmuring was a small voice.

But the voice resounded well in the darkness.

"But no matter how much I love you... there are things that can't be helped."

That was the last thing he whispered, and he left.

"Uhhh... uhhhh"

My tears didn't stop.

She just keeps crying as she swallows.

"... that was a failure."

Tommy said to comfort me.

"How sad Luxeria-sensei is... when I think about it..."

"... Alicia did her best.It's just that Wilhelm was the best. "

"Why...? Why do I have to put up with Lucelia all the time?"

"That must be the king.I'm sure Luceria will understand.I'm sure I'll get back to work as usual when I get well. "

"That's not true... that's not true.Endure your happiness and work only for others.Even though I'm sad, I can only cry in my heart... that's just hell. "

Tommy's words were filled with tears.
