"Twelve knights of Her Majesty's."

I thanked Valisa. That's how we need to appeal to the Imperial women around her.

Anyway, some of them are believed to be part of the Grand Duke who rebelled against Her Majesty.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty!?

I heard that Elisha was biting Valisa.

"You are my knight who protected me from assassination and avoided the eyes of his pursuers."

If there's anything else, the Imperial facade faces each other.

"The great heroes who saved everyone and the white elves who were about to be killed by an unjust trap. Without him, we wouldn't be here."

He was also recognized as a hero in this era. In the meantime, I think we should leave the situation to her.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see the floating island once and for all. I want to know the Grand Duke's movements."

"It was a cause. I'll take care of it."

"Yes, Your Grace."

I bow my head again and quit on the spot. When I tried to get into Tyrant, Lew and I would have come first.

"Dad...."

My eyes were swollen. Seeing my desperate face, I had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong?

Please take it off. Reu told me to squeeze out my thoughts.

"Santon... is dead."

Lew escorted Ridalla Garm aboard the wounded Santon. The two aircraft merged into a fleet to leave.

Santon was alive until then. Leu got off the cockpit and shouted that there was a wounded white elf coming out.

Then I ran to the Santon, but the Santon didn't come down from the plane. Running up the plane in a hurry and opening the hatch, Lew was stunned by the bloody cockpit.

Hey, Leu......

Santon?

I called, but there was no further reply. When he stopped moving and opened the visor, Santon took his breath out to sleep with a calm smile on his face.

When he arrived and saw his brother's face, he must have been relieved. A 13-year-old boy who was made as a magic doll passed away.

"It's my fault....!

Reu couldn't hold back the overflowing tears.

"I'm your brother! I had to pull him!

It's not your fault, Lew.

I hugged Lew. Dad, he swallowed and Lew cried on my shoulder. The voice echoed around, contagious to other children. The white elves also leaned down with a painful expression.

Santon was a big but very kind boy. I liked making plastic models and valued things. I don't have a lot of mouths, but most of the time I did nothing, and I took good care of the little ones.

The second son who supports Lew, the oldest of the boys. He took the initiative to support Lew when he was anxious or lacked hands.

But that gentle boy is gone.

"This is war. People die easily."

And me and you, if you get up on the battlefield, you can die for nothing. And don't forget, we killed the Enemy.

"Kill, be killed, that's how you fight with weapons."

"Uhh...."

"Santon's body won't move anymore. But as long as we don't forget him, his soul will live among us."

"Soul...?

Lew said she didn't know. I whispered.

"What does Santon in you say?

……

Shut up, Lew. Did you think about him when he died? No, nature brought him back to life and opened Lew's mouth.

"'It's okay'...."

"Yeah."

"Santon said it was okay."

I see. Santon followed you to the end. That's because you were my trusted brother. "

My eyes were hot. These kids are a little over a month old. But it's been a long time since I've forgotten the pain in my heart. The children who called me Dad. For me, it's my kids, even if I don't split the blood.

"From now on, he'll be there to help you. For his sake, you must be a gentle brother to everyone."

"Mmm...."

Reu cried again. And then one day, Dear and Alicia came and hugged us. While rubbing his children's backs, he remembered Santon's innocent laughter, which he loved pramo, and tears spilled.

Returning to Ridara Darha's cockpit with the magic of transfer, he returned to his home port, Amiwool's flagship, Elpis.

The Gragna sisters, Bull welcomed me and told me about this disturbance where the white elves took the ship. Not only the military port, but also the crew of the ship couldn't hide their upset.

Above all, the presence of the Emperor's magic plane of light in the White Elf's escaped fleet seems to be causing great confusion.

The Light Magic Machine Shea Eyetria can only handle Emperors. And Empress Valisa must have been assassinated the other day.

Then Captain Megis visited me to check on the situation, so I lied to Ridalla Darha that I was searching for an escaped enemy.

"Are you all right, Commander? Can I help you?

"Ah... I'm tired."

"I would like to ask you to rest slowly, but the Commander has requested to appear at Imperial Castle."

It must be about the White Elf fleet.

"The Commander saved the Grand Duke's life."

Captain Megis had a warm look on his face.

That's right.

"Ah... that's right."

Well, I made an alibi. I tried to fight my enemies in front of the Grand Duke... and now I don't know if I can fool them.
