It was the start time of the founding festival, and the King's family finally entered the venue peacefully. And I'm coming with you.
Looking at the corner of the VIP seat, there was Yuka among the earlier Prophets. The seats are slightly open, so we wave at each other and greet each other.
I'm right behind Alexis. It's quite a privileged seat compared to the Duke's seat. I wanted to see the tournament more than a boring ritual anyway. Chiaran sits diagonally in front of the seat.
I can see the Tristans in the Duke's seat a little further away. When you settle down a little, leave your uncle alone and leave Tristan and Max alone. To keep an eye on Lake Nell, we're going to the forest park after we're armed.
The other Duke's house should have requested less than Roxanne, who was involved in the disturbance the day before yesterday, so the seat around there is likely to be scattered in a while.
Looking around, Troy was among the court magicians in the VIP seat guard. Well, the role of security is formal, and it feels like the Japanese relationship has been put together in a safe zone. I don't know who else to target.
Conversely, Douglas, the guest sitting next to me, would be a complete fighter. It's been a long time, but thank you. There are other faces I know that don't usually come out. Around the nobility seat, I'm already feeling guilty and motivated, and it's already leaking. I'm bloodthirsty when I'm a nobleman in this country at all. It's a bad group of people who deserve a job, perfect. I can count on you now.
This will allow us to deal with unforeseen situations without a knight of the Duke. Otherwise, wouldn't Elias take tough measures that could involve even ordinary people?
In the first place, the general audience is quite approximate.
The super crowded audience filling up the bowl-shaped audience is filled with clear signs of excitement and flutter.
They certainly expect an unknown big show, just as the fighters' aristocrats bring in their weapons and wait for them to be ready and scrambled. Not to witness a solemn national event. I saw something scary, and I definitely thought something like this was going on here, so I feel bad.
In fact, the social phenomenon that witnesses who were at the summoning scene in the past present the topic to the public as a little pride is dealt with frequently every time a case is solved. Sure, the Tristan show was a hit when I instantly killed ants.
It would be more accurate to describe it as flavored rather than unpunished.
Are the people of this country really militant or festive? If a nobleman is a nobleman, so is the nation. I don't hate it. I feel something cuter than a stupid child.
If the monsters ever show up again, they'll make another fuss. Once the peace is over, it's decided to leak grievances like it wasn't boring. I'm in absolute trouble. Enjoy your eyes.
The Founding Fatherland Festival starts as usual in an atmosphere that is more exciting than usual.
I've been there more than 50 times in my previous life, so there's nothing new about it. But in a way, the tension is the best this time.
Unlike at the 600th Anniversary Festival, everyone has a hunch that something will happen, not just to me.
Starting with the King's greeting, the program continues as tradition suggests. Every year, the sword dance is performed by 15 of the Royal Knights' elite. In other words, the sacrificial system is basically a sword bow, but it's just a warrior.
But this year, the real elite, like Rufus, are turned over to the forest park and the guards, so they seem to be of lower quality than usual. The general public is excited, but my fat eyes bore me.
Turning to the Duke's area, Tristan and Max were gone. Otherwise, the main forces that were the main ones have long disappeared. They are moving to their positions so that they can respond to sudden changes at any time.
I encouraged everyone in my heart to work hard and looked back at the show again.
A few decades ago, Douglas, the current Knights Counselor who was dancing there, called out to me boringly.
"Lady, are you enjoying your work at school?
As far as you can see from the side, it will only look like your grandfather is talking to the girl next door.
"Yes, very much."
I nodded to my former classmates. Because the rival Douglas was Gideon, he would take a normal chat. You asked me even more.
"So, are you happy now?
"Ha-ha?
Unexpectedly raise your eyebrows to the outsider's question. What is it all of a sudden? Are you asking me to go to religion?
Douglas laughs at me in suspicion.
"What, I've known your grandfather for a long time. He must have been worried about you.
――
Words have a double meaning. Not as a grandson, but as a partner, as a friend.
As a grandson, I respond to my grandfather's friends to the extent that they are not crazy.
"I think you may have been a little too free, but have you been so worried?
"You look familiar to him. That's why I always cared. He looked like an idiot all the time, but he didn't look happy."
――
I lost my word and just looked back at Douglas.
With the immediate goal of just living happily now, happiness was completely another human resource.
You were never lonesome - remember the words you said a while ago and look reflectively at the chiaran in front of you. Chiaran also looked back at the private words of his master and classmates.
A nostalgic friend who looked at me like this came back to mind and tightened his chest again.
Douglas keeps on saying things like remembering distant memories.
"Gideon has always been in love with him. I never noticed him, but it was from the moment I met him until he died."
…………
I wasn't surprised when they told me. I noticed unexpectedly that I was feeling it somewhere in my mind. Even the feeling of the final embrace, the temperature and the breathing are still clearly remembered.
An obsessive Zachariah curse sitting at the edge of your heart.
I made up my mind back then.
If you cannot live alongside anyone more than you are a great prophet, no one will like you from the beginning. If they return the same thoughts, it will only be too painful. You can't even touch each other forever.
Even though it has healed little by little, when you cross the set line, you always apply unconscious brakes, and you can't go any further. There are no more restrictions.
Gideon kept me close as a friend and kept me close. --Even after reborn.
The secret to taking to the cemetery is Gidion laughing on the floor of death.
Covering his mouth aggressively, he suppressed the leaking swallowing.
Oh, no. Even though you are young, are you old? Recently, the lacrimal glands have become too thick. If you are alarmed, your vision will seep at once.
When I was Zachariah, I wondered if it was true that I was thinking of someone. I can't remember anymore.
But if you were aware of your thoughts as you naturally spring up... just if you could honestly accept your feelings - even if you were in an unremunerated love, even if you had a painful feeling, did you have a moment to feel happy in your life?
I sincerely agree with Gideon's expression when she separated.
If the identity of the Great Prophet were to be exposed in the daytime, there would be constant anxiety. But now, I feel that the strange last jetty that had blocked somewhere in my heart has vanished. The gear that has been stopped for a long time is finally turning around.
It saved my heart until after I died - my best partner was overwhelmed with sincere thanks.
My mind is free. I can't be seen in my previous life anymore. ― ― Whatever conclusion is waiting for us to move forward.
Remembering Gideon doesn't hurt anymore. Replaces precious memories.
Speaking of which, it was you who brought me back my grief. Little by little, my frozen heart started to move.
Looking back at the past in a calm mood, Douglas kept quiet.
"Gideon was always really wondering how you could be really happy? I knew you well."
The thoughts of an old friend who was also a former rival. It was because of the words of a third party that I knew at the time that I was taken calmly.
"Are you happy now?
"- Yeah, I'm happy."
Now I can answer without hesitation.
"Because there are people who love me, and I can love them just as much - so wherever I am and whatever I do, I am always happy"
And one day, when I find someone I love as much as my family, I'll push you like me without stopping.
