"The Kingdom of Lulan came at me because it wanted the privileged land of this country. But right now, Manrinha, the country's best port town, doesn't let people in because of its filth. And apart from that, our last sanctuary on the purification journey is Manrinia. You know this far?

"Ah, ah. I know."

"Okay, then go on. At dawn, when the twin swords fulfilled the request of the Lulan kingdom, only one wish was heard on behalf of the Alliance. We want land in a good location."

"Eh?"

"I want a new headquarters. And Manrinha's a great place to be."

"No way......"

I opened my eyes to the way that Tedra said she couldn't believe what Alhardt was trying to say.

Alhardt smiles at Tedra like that.

"That's a good guess, second boy. Yes, the Twin Winged Sword (us) was aimed at Manrinia from the beginning. The guild men asked for the kingdom of Lulan in order to get Manrinha."

"Well, that's not the only reason."

"But it's so easy..."

"Well, whether this country wins or the Kingdom of Lulan wins, you don't expect me to give you Manrinha so easily. But you think we'll lend nearly half our forces to the Kingdom of Lulan without any thought? It's just a coincidence, you think the last place of purification of this journey has become Manrinia?

"Oh no…… then it's all yours……………."

"Yes, it was on the plan. Well, you could have just lent a hand to the Kingdom of Lulan. When we get Manrinha, we think we'll pay for what they did to Shirti in this country.... No, it was the other way around. I came up with the idea of using the kingdom of Lulan when I was thinking about how to get back at the people who hurt Silty, sure. You did, didn't you, Silty?

"That's right. If Jin is going to build a new headquarters, he won't need a branch, and if he leaves anyway, he's going to let the royal families of the Lulan kingdom that he's been scattering for me, so I've decided to involve the Lulan kingdom."

"Dominated by a country that should be weaker than ourselves, the largest port town is taken by those we once banished and their companions. You got a funny story like this? The people of this country... especially the royal family, will remember every time they see Manrinha. Humiliated us. Complete defeat. Fear for the strong. Desperate enough to die. Forever, until you die, as many times as you want. You just have to keep suffering as long as you live. It's still warm for the people who hurt our people."

"Do this just for one person…………?

"Exactly. Well, then, second boy, choose."

"Eh?"

"Come to this side, or scatter it for your country."

"That's what I have to choose..."

"Yeah, right."

The choices put forward were such that there was no room for the earliest choice.

He stuck a sword in his throat and said, 'Come on, you want to live? You want to die?' The same goes for asking.

"I am."

Strangely, however, there was no stray in Tedra, who was forced to make a choice.

Staring straight back at Alhardt, he grips his fist forcefully.

"I don't want to regret it anymore. I don't want to make the same mistake I made two years ago. Even if what you're trying to do leads to the collapse of this country, it's still much better than losing the smile of your loved ones again… I'm coming to you."

Alhardt laughed at Tedra, who ran out of words.

"Nice second boy. It's nothing like that."

Sirtina responds bitterly to Alhardt's words by striking one hand and changing the subject.

"Now that we've finished buying out, let's go back to everyone. It's a little earlier than planned, but I'm leaving here tonight. A little too conspicuous in this city, so I don't know when the other knights will sniff it out."

"Right. Do I have to move with caution to the Knights from now on? That's a pain in the ass."

"Um, is there an overall operation or something?

"The general flow has been determined, but there are no detailed operations. As long as we end up doing what we planned, it feels like we're going to take care of the details ourselves."

"Well, if it's an operation that's too detailed, it tends to delay the response when it stops going down the street. It means ad hoc."

"Ad hoc…"

"If you don't forget your ultimate purpose, you can move as you please. That's pretty much what we've been doing with the Twin Wings."

"They're not the people who move on that street in the first place where they've decided to make a fine operation. All twisted swords (guilds)..."

……

"This time, our ultimate goal is to take the Virgin to Manrinia and purify her." So, well, I know it's okay, but please be careful not to let the Virgin or Prince find out. Other than that, it's no different than before. "

"As far as it goes. I understand."

"Well, it's time to get there. My Lady Dowager's persuasion is left to Uto, my second son, you tell the prince that you are leaving tonight."

"Okay.... What, huh? 'As I leave it to Ut', could it be…………"

"Ute is one of us with the Twin Wings."

"It was a real coincidence that I joined the journey."

……

Tedra glances at the words.

Apparently, other than what they think, they are overflowing with twisted swords (their) associates.

"Well, let's go."

"Ooh."

"Yes."

Tedra's face tightens in the camp she starts to see.

In a different way than before, he had to go through a day of unconsciousness.
