The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor
Episode 27: Old Vows
"... Your Majesty, after all, we cannot move. Regardless, my Lubfera and one of the great wings of the royal family. I want to turn all my forces east and destroy the rebels. But."
"Leo, I know. That loyalty will never be forgotten."
"... sorry"
His Highness the Duke of Leo Lubfera, a young man with thin green beautiful hair - one of the four great dukes of the kingdom - ruling the western region bordering the demonic kingdom, drowned his head deeply while sitting in a chair.
My ears are slightly elongated, my hands and feet so thin that I think they are overwhelming beauty and women.
The story of the Duke of Lubfera's family being an elf is easy to believe when you look at this face. You don't look over a hundred years old.
... but that's not what matters.
You escaped from the King's capital and fled to the West because you didn't hear a word like that.
See your father with a sad face.
"Father, if so, King's capital in the Knights of the Kingdom!
"... Cheryl, I'm not even saying I can't. Of the twelve knights concentrating in the West, eight are the Great Wall of the Blood River. There are four Knights left if you want to move them, but these are strategic spares if the invasion of the Demon King's Army starts. If you move it, let's put a lot of strain on the Duke of Lubfera and the houses listed in it. Then what do the people of the West think... Wainwright must leave those who think he has abandoned the West to protect his own home. Our trust with the Elf Dwarf Giants, built by our family and the Duke's in the last two hundred years, could collapse. I need time."
"Okay, so what are we going to do? Awesome!
"-Well, I support the ideas of His Majesty and the Duke."
"John, my brother?
Usually, my brother - John, the first prince of the kingdom - expressed his opinion, not pinching his mouth on these occasions. In the seat next to it is Gerhard Gardner, head of the Royal Palace Mage.
Just spin words.
"Come on, move your troops to jail while you don't know what's going on in the north and south, and you could lose. This is where we should identify the situation."
"... What is Sir Rod thinking?
An elf man wearing a white robe with arms and void - alias' The Great Demon's Guide '- throws questions to warring warriors who also served in the Demon King's War.
He didn't look at me, he opened his mouth - it was then.
A loud noise was made and the heavy doors of the meeting room were knocked. Duke's drink.
"Something! It's in front of His Majesty!!
- Leo, it's me.
"! This is... open the door!
"" Ha!
Quiet, but powerful, female voice. A soldier, who had refrained by both sides of the door by the life of the Duke, opened the door.
A beauty in military attire with long thin emerald hair with pins stretched out on her spine and a beastly man looking exhausted came in. He would be in his fifties.
The body of the beast man is thin and dirty, and blood everywhere. Not as usual.
Brother John shook his body and Gerhard narrowed his eyes just a little uncomfortably. Duke's shout.
"Your grandmother. Such a filthy man."
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. Leticia Lubfera, in front of you."
"... um. Long time no see, Letty. And the man... is he not a werewolf?
"Ha. I am an escaped messenger from the East Capital. We arrived earlier."
Leticia Lubfera!!?
The Duke of Lubfera is considered to be the most powerful user in the history of the family, and has served in the Demon King's War, citing the effects of a hellish battle.
I heard you were hiding a long time ago......
The Duke asks in a frustrating manner.
"... From the East Capital, it was brilliant to escape and come this far. I see, the soldiers."
"I have a message for His Royal Highness the Duke of Lubfera from our chief Ougi"
One step, the man who took it out of his nostalgia, took out a worn black cloth.
... blood?
Then, take another step and hoist the cloth overhead high, screaming in a dead voice.
"'Take an old oath!
"!!!!!!! No way...... your grandmother?
"Heh, heh, heh... that's what you're not dying for. No, no... no old soldier dies without fulfilling this oath!
The beautiful woman's eyes accumulate large tears and convey her cheeks.
Likewise, he rises out of his chair and the Duke approaches the Beast Man.
And...
Leo Lubfera, the four Grand Dukes of the Kingdom, was on one knee with respect to the One Beast Man, drooling his head.
A quiet voice is uttered that has not been able to hide its passion.
"-... awed. Rubfera fulfills her old vows."
"Become! Here, Duke. Well, that's not good..."
"Your Majesty, the West is at the disposal of the Knights"
"... it's Leo. The cloth, if."
"Yes."
The Duke slapped him in the chest with his fist and raised his will to battle was the first to accept.
Stand up and sit the messenger in a chair.
"- We, the people of the West, rushed to the end of the War of the Demon King, but not much, to run out with Orgren… pushed the human side to the front of its defeat. It was Linster and Howard who saved it in the battle of death. And" The Brave ". But the most active was the Beastman Brigade led by 'Meteor'. They are the ones who guarded the banks of the Blood River dead and bought time for all the troops to withdraw and wipe them out!!! … We, the people of the West, remember their activism as a bedtime story. And at the end of the day, you bite your teeth and swear hard as you cry." If the time comes, I will surely reward you for what you have done. "
"What is an 'old vow'?
"A pledge made by the head of the Beastman Brigade, 'Meteor', in exchange for the then Dukes of Lubfera and Orgren. Lord Lubfera took part of the army flag stained with the blood of the Brigade of the Beasts and was sworn to help them when they gave him this cloth. Olgren, as Her Royal Highness knows. There will be a dwelling place for beasts in the East Capital. My apostle, what does Oogie want? The liberation of the East Capital?
Sir Rod rang his fingers as he explained.
The messenger's wounds plug and his anger returns. The man shook his head wide.
"No."
"Ho. So?"
"... it looks like one of our families was captured by the Orglen guys and taken to the northeast island. The chief heard about it from Daiki... I want him to help me. Please, please!!!
"Ugh, that's a lie! To save just one person, we need something important to negotiate."
"... John, refrain. The name of the man."
After this, I am sure I know the name you will speak of.
'I can't be a hero. Because it's not like Lydia or "The Brave." It's so exquisite you can see it by the side. "
You're an idiot. Really stupid.
You already are.
"His name is Allen. No beast ears, no tails... people. But... it's definitely the family of the Werewolves, the Beasts. Please, save him!
That evening., from the Great Spire of the Wall along the Blood River, the emerald light flashed for the opposite shore.
- Issue signal to the Demon King's Army.
If we continue to confront each other for 200 years, there will be some interaction.
If there had been anyone on this occasion who was not born in the West and could read the signal, he would have opened his eyes.
"We are not going to fulfill our pledge to" Meteor. "Feel free to attack if you want. '
Lubfera's flag is hanging in the darkness. What's there is a war of war that just pounds heaven.
There was no immediate reply.
The lights follow the fortress of the Demon King's Army and observe a vast magical reaction.
- Eventually, blood flashed from the tip of the confronting fortress tower.
"It's a pleasure. Later, they reported the details. Safe and unfulfilled pledge. '
