"Any news from those who made their way to the Duke of Barratona's house!?
"Ha! As always, I can't even seem to get into the Duke's mansion grounds!!
The Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Lydian, there was disturbing air between the sights.
"Why!? Why can't you get in!? Why didn't you answer my call, Gardo?
It was the King of the Kingdom of Lydylan who sat on the throne and abandoned him with abomination.
"What's the situation when you say the showdown with the Kingdom of Lulan is already current?
"Ha! Starting with the Duke of Barratona, Marquis Armoine, Marquis Lurut, Baron Inmania, Baron Howto and Viscount Riuccina are unresponsive. According to reports from those heading to their respective territories, they can't even enter the territory, just like the Duke of Barratona."
"What the hell do you mean... what else?
"There have been responses from other nobles, but very few have responded that they will respond to the convocation. The rest of us have to leave the territory."
"... have you found the acaris?
"See you there. Of the five purified sites in total, two remain. I know it's the last place to purify Manrinia, so I'm telling you to wait ahead of the rest."
"Is that so…… how is the Royal Lulan Army progressing?
"In the next month or so you will reach the port town of Rakayan. If we don't get out of here, it will affect the progress of our army."
"I know. That's enough, back off."
The king, who had escorted the soldier who had made the report out between the sights, exhaled a heavy sigh and looked around.
"Is Kihato here?
"Here."
In response to the king's call, he appeared to be a man with dark hair and dark eyeglasses.
"What's going on with the Secret Service guerrillas?
"We are serious about sourcing once and for all. We're scattered all over the place in triplets to procure horses, food and weapons."
"I see. Participation in the battle is………"
"I can't do that. No matter how much I tell Captain Familus that the captain and deputy captain are entrusted with the command of the Secret Service guerrilla squad in his absence, that's just to put the squad together. We can't give instructions to the team, and even if we can, we won't obey them. I just want to thank you for the supplies."
……
The dark-haired, dark-eyed glasses man, whose name is Kihato, is the one in charge of the Secret Service guerrilla army.
Now that captain Familus and deputy captain Hain disappeared, it was this man who was collecting the Secret Service guerrillas.
I will not even kneel in front of the king, I will merely state my contact matters pale.
There was a wrinkle engraved between his eyebrows, indicating that he was never in a good mood.
"It is not too late now, my king. We should reward the people for their battle against the kingdom of Lulan."
"Talk about it again? That doesn't change the answer. I'm not willing to reward you. Look at the current situation in this country. The people, frightened by demons and deprived of their places and possessions because of their filth, became thieves everywhere and started making incidents. The spearhead of that anger is right for us. Publish your battle against another country here and now. We are sure that our own people will strip us of our fangs."
"But you can't hide things like this forever. Which one will you find out? At least we can't hide it from the people of Lakayan, who will be the battlefield against the Kingdom of Lulan. Your life forbids you to speak out, and when it does, the fact that you hid it will surely stir the anger of the people."
"You knights will shut everything up by force when that happens! If you are going to turn your teeth on me, they are not nationals of our country!!
"……… Is that so?"
Kihato nodded in a spookily quiet voice, the opposite of the king who emotionally raved his voice, bowing his head slightly and turning back to his heel, saying that he was no longer needed.
The king hastily called such a kihat to an end.
"Wait!! Where are you going?
"I'm part of the Secret Service guerrilla squad, too, so I'm going to raise supplies."
"HAN!! You stay close to me."
"King, have you forgotten?
Sighing out in the wind of heartbreak, Kihat turned to the king.
"Secret Service guerrillas only obey the orders of Captain Familus or Deputy Hein. Therefore, even if you are king, I will not obey your life."
"Go anywhere on your own!!
"But aren't you the one who allowed that to happen?"
"………………!?
"Now it's time for you to excuse me"
His eyes narrowed slightly to the hateful and distorted face of the king, and Kihat, who had given him a beautiful thank-you unlike the other day, took a look after him.
"Ha..."
"Whoa, pretty tired face Nah, kihato!!
Soon after leaving the royal castle, he breathed out a heavy sigh of breath, a voice calling on Kihato.
Pong, and Kihato, who was slapped on the shoulder, turned around, and there were two men.
"Renard, Sarshra too. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"I'm not waiting as long as I say. So? How was the king?
Within the two of them, they ask if they are called Sarshra.
"There's nothing wrong with you or these things. I knew it, but he doesn't deserve to be the King. Foolishly enough..."
"Oh, that's quite enough to make you say that, nah."
"The beginning and end of saying that they reward the people for nothing for their own cuteness and that those who turn their teeth are not even their own people. I was told that the Knights were there to silence everything by force."
"That's a terrible thing to say, Oi……………."
"But if the king affirms it, he can't say anything about what we're going to do."
"Don't be like that."
If we're going to shut everything up by force, we can say that we're going to do it.
But happiness or unhappiness, the opponents against whom that force is directed are not the people of this country.
We never want power.
What I want to accomplish is “revenge," and what I want is “land."
There is no need for status or power.
Of course, I won't forgive them if they come with their blades pointed at them, but that's not how their blade spears will be directed at them.
"Well, then it's time for us to leave. Master Hain is waiting for you."
"Right. Is that Manrinha? It's a little far, but can you make it?
"I plan to rendezvous with the twin swords (guilds) along the way. From there, they're going to be able to secure a better way to get around, so let's not dare to run the horse to that location."
"Heh. Don't meet a twin sword (guild) person other than the captain and deputy captain for the first time. Who is it? You got two names?
"Yes.“ "The witch of foresight," Lady Clarina Hamley. "
"Wow. You're famous. Surely it wasn't someone with two names who was in Manrinia?
"Yes. There's Lady Rain Nanatseite."
"As Lady Familus said, you really have two named people moving around. Awesome."
"It's enough to really take over the country. Join us there, not to mention two. All right, let's get this over with. It's time to go."
"Yeah."
"Ouyo"
Two people nodded at Kihat's words pulling a horse that was connected to a nearby tree.
Kihato, riding on one of its heads, looked back at the royal castle only once.
"Force is not meant to silence something. It's to take something and protect it."
Kihato understood very well that the whining words would never reach the people inside.
