The Old Knight of a Frontier District

1

Two sets of guests came to Fusarion on March 38, the fourth thousand two hundred and eighty-seventh year of the Continental Calendar.

The first guest was the use of Shantillion, the Acting King of the Kingdom of Parzam, who, when he met Bardo, celebrated what the wedding of Quinta Ektor, Lord of Cogs, and Princess Yunaria, son of Galam Rezaratro, Count of the Kingdom of Parzam, had investigated.

Baldo is stunned and speechless.

The carriage in the stash has already left Parzam, he said.

When I told him only what to do, the messenger went to Cogus without taking a meal.

It was for some reason Kara who explained the situation to Bardo.

"You know, Master Bardo.

You know we've been to Parzam together.

Look, when there was a dragonman raid.

Master Bardo passed out and I don't know, but after we drove the dragonmen back, there was a little thing.

Quinta discovered a girl who was caught between a pillar and a wall and couldn't get out.

When you were wandering in the wrong direction to escape, part of the wall collapsed in the Dragonman's attack, and I hope you hid behind the pillar, but you were blocked from exiting by a piece of the wall that fell down.

That's where Quinta came in to help.

So, the girl came to thank you later, with Her Majesty the Chantillion.

No, I wasn't your majesty back then.

How dare the girl be the niece of His Majesty Chantillion.

I was on a samurai apprenticeship for my behavioral training. Really?

The girl came to visit Quinta many times a month and a half after Bardo was asleep.

We were watching in a slight fashion.

And then Quinta went back to Fusarion, but when the labyrinth adventure was over and Master Nutz was going back to Parzam, Quinta wrote to Princess Yunaria. "

I didn't know.

I had no idea.

I didn't know there was such a love story, etc.

"That's it, we thought.

A messenger came from Chantillion last year. "

Coming.

I did come.

The messenger said he had come to see Bardo healthy.

"So I understand that Master Yunaria has insisted that she never leans back to Quinta and goes to someone else's wife.

But I'm not a princess who can give a knight from a village on the border to his wife.

Anyway, His Majesty Chantillion told the Count to go see how it went. "

Speaking of which, that messenger stayed three days in Coggs neighborhood.

I wondered what you liked.

"If you try that, Fusarion will develop tremendously, and Quinta will be Lord Coggs.

This would make a name for my daughter-in-law from the Count's house, so your messenger flew and was happy to return.

Of course, after checking how Quinta feels.

Anyway, the princess was nineteen last year.

You're too old for this.

After that, when I was getting ready for the dowry, it was winter, so I guess I waited for this spring to come and put it in. "

Yes, it was.

That's what happened.

If you ask, Doria Tessa says she understands.

In any case, can Quinta have a partner?

Good, good.

... Seriously.

Not when the Dragon Man raids?

That was four thousand two hundred and seventy-eight years ago.

That princess was 19 last year... eleven!

When I met Quinta, the princess was eleven years old.

Did Ayatsuzu talk to the 11-year-old princess about her love?

Bardo stared at Quinta, who was not there on the spot, with a look at the hard stuff.

Carla made an excuse for guessing what Baldo's gaze meant.

"Master Bardo.

I know what you're thinking, but that's not true.

When you get out to the samurai, the girl will be quiet in no time.

Of course I do. "

With his increasingly harsh eyes, Bardo took a phantom quinta.

"Besides.

A woman is going to be quiet much faster than a man.

As long as it triggers it.

Eleven can make real love. "

Whatever it is, Bardo thought it was a lie.

But there may be times when a young bud that comes out of a young child's retribution grows into a great tree of love.

In any case, I'm a twenty year old princess now, so I don't have anything to say anyway.

I think so, but Baldo's eyes on the phantom quinta were cold.

Nevertheless, Kara is familiar with the lives and mindsets of nobles, which are also senior nobles.

I wondered how the hell he grew up, Bardo thought.

The answer will soon be known.

2.

Trying to be replaced, two knights came.

They each have one squire.

If you look at that armor, you'll see that it's not an ordinary knight.

Just looking at the holy mark engraved on his chest and the greasy cape reveals who he is.

Holy Knight, is.

The knights serving the Temple of Mercano, besides being escorted by high priests when they leave, rarely leave the Temple of Mercano Autonomy.

Its strength is famous, so much so that two ordinary knights can match one holy knight.

Even so, for Bardo, such as the Holy Knight, was like a fairy tale, and I never thought that the time would come to be seen with my own eyes.

The two visitors to the General Lordship Hall in the main capital Zaria,

Holy Knight Urbeto Martan

Holy Knight Ogisja Terrano

named and offered to see Bardo.

And after greeting Bardo,

"We are here to welcome Master Karen Egdra Stortmenos.

This one is named Kara.

It is our duty to welcome Master Karen Egdra and his children and to bring them to the Temple of Mercano Autonomy "

I said.

They also knew that Carla had married the Lowens, and they greeted the Lowen-owned Bardo first.

As the Holy Knights offered to meet Master Karen Egdra and share your father's thoughts, Bardo let the Holy Knights pass into the guest room and call Kara.

Kara talked to them for a while.

The next evening, Bardo and Kars and Kara, and Jurchaga and Doriatessa and Helidan and Taranca and Quinta, and Kizmertol and Noah gathered at the General Lordship Hall.

Kara began her confession on the spot.

3

Kara's real name is Karen Egdra Stortomenos.

She is the daughter of Archbishop Stommenos, one of the four archbishops of the Temple of Mercano.

Kara came to Fusarion in the first place after targeting Jana's bracelet.

Jana's bracelet was the treasure of the Temple of Mercano.

But from one point on he was made an instrument of power strife, and it is said that the angry Spirit took Jana's bracelet from the Temple of Mercano.

I didn't know where it was for a long time, but one time I found out it was under the Queen of Manuno.

I sent a few messengers, but no one could see the queen.

And a long time passed.

Nowadays, few people recall Jana's bracelet and say she is treated as half legendary.

The Archbishop each has an information network in his country, but there are rumors that Carla's father pinched it in his ear for mundane things.

Rumor has it that the nearby knight, Bardo Lowen, received a strange bracelet from the Queen of Manuno.

Carla's father sent Carla out, confirming the veracity of the rumors and ordering him to give in at any cost if Sir Lowen's bracelet was truly that of Jana.

However, this also included leaving the temple to live freely.

My father thought that the swirling Mercano temple of the black conspiracy was somehow too breathless for his youngest daughter, who grew up in freedom.

Thus Kara came all the way to Fusarion.

I saw Jana's bracelet as soon as she came.

What an owner, Sir Bardo Lowen, wore his sacred relics in dignity without concealing them.

There was spiritual power coming out of the bracelet.

Also, the familiar text was engraved.

Kara was convinced that it must be Jana's bracelet.

Sir Lowen was about to embark on a journey.

When I applied for accompaniment, I was allowed to differ and be light on the draft.

But Kara was stunned by the journey.

Though Sir Lowen is dealing with it, it's to much enormity.

Secrets of the Spirit.

Mystery of the Warcraft.

A monster who was reaching out to the continent in the darkness of far history.

Bardo was confronting them alone.

I thought that might be the holy service.

What difference does it make between myself and Yana, who is looking to bring back Yana's bracelet to favor her father's power struggle?

But Bardo and his people accepted me.

Accept me, you gave me a role.

Glad to hear it.

So much so that I feel this is where I am.

Secret use had come from time to time from my father.

Carla said that she was in the process of checking whether Jana's bracelet was working.

And if you keep exploring by Baldo.

My father did not say anything different about it.

My father's will was felt that if Fusarion was comfortable, he could stay there.

After I told him I was married to Cars, a letter of blessing came.

It's rare for a careful father to send a letter.

In fact, Kara had cemented her determination to bury her bones in the Fusarion, and she had already decided to forget about Jana's bracelet.

Bardo then confronted the monster and defeated this.

When Bardo flew back from the sky on the clouds of light, he greeted them with open mouths.

But Bardo forbade him to ask any questions about the details, and strictly admonished him not to speak out about it.

Bardo just said, "The king of evil spirits is doomed. Warcraft will never be born again," he told me.

Kara was keen to know what had happened, but she also thought it would be better not to ask.

More than that, I was happy to be among those who could have Bardo revealed the secret that he confronted the monster and defeated this.

After the letter of blessing for the birth of Adolcars arrived, the communication from my father was interrupted.

And yesterday, two saint knights came to pick up Kara.

This was the case there.

The supreme position of the Temple of Mercano is that of the Pope.

The Pope is literally an absolute power, but rarely specifically exercises power.

The life of the Pope is harsh.

In addition to eating early in the morning and late at night and getting a short sleep, spend all of the day on the altar at the deepest part of the temple.

The mystery that the Pope, with his mighty spiritual power, carries out with the numerous help of the sacred instruments, is essential for the peace of the world, and it may be said that the Temple of Mercano exists only when this mystery of the Pope is fully fulfilled.

It is the four Archbishops who give birth to the Pope.

Of the four archbishop houses, the most spiritual and youthful man takes the throne.

The principals of the Archbishops defend and support the Pope and govern the Temple of Mercano and its territory.

The men of the Archbishop are also familiar with the handling of sacred objects and serve to maintain the health of the Pope.

On all sides of the central temple there are four "Towers of the Archbishop", where the Archbishop or his successors can pray at this tower for a certain time of the day.

The four Archbishops have supported the Temple, sometimes in opposition and sometimes in concert.

But last year, a murderous incident happened.

The oldest, second, and third sons of the Stortmenos family and all of their children died.

Neither the Holy Knights nor Kara know what the hell happened.

But it is the Temple of Mercano that can cause such a change.

If those who inherit the blood of the Stommenos family cease to exist, there will never again be a god king out of the Stommenos family.

If the Pope is not to leave the Stortmenos family, Carla's father loses his political voice.

The Stortmenos family will perish.

So Carla's father paid attention to the Adolcars that Carla had given birth to.

I had to pay attention.

He is a man who draws the blood of the Stortmenos family without deception.

Carla's father commanded Carla to take Adolcars back to the Stortmenos.

As long as Adolcars is alive and in the Temple of Mercano, Carla's father can maintain his political power.

I can't expect high spiritual power or anything because I'm just a child I could have had with a flowing knight, but since I'm a child that draws the blood of the Stortmenos family, I should have some spiritual power, and having a child with spiritual power is the strength of the Stortmenos family.

If Adolcars becomes a child in the future, the Stortmenos will prosper again.

Now we have no choice but to live up to that possibility.

If this is all about the Stortmenos family, then it is no longer necessary for Carla and her son, who are married to the Roen family, to dare return to the Temple of Mercano.

But Kara had secretly heard from her father a secret that even the Saints did not know.

In addition to the four archbishops, the Temple of Mercano has a secret insinuation of a party that seeks to interfere with the duties of the Pope, saying that the archbishops are turning their backs on each other.

And if one of the four Archbishops were to perish, the power of the Seal would weaken, and things would be more likely to happen that would lead to the doom of the world.

4.

Baldo said that such an important issue should not be concluded as soon as possible, ordering us to gather again in three days' time to dissolve the same.

I told Kara to think about this issue often.

On the night of the second day, Kara visited Bardo.

"Master Bardo.

Cars.

Cars.

He said he wouldn't come with me to the Mercano Temple. "

Half crying, Kara complained of her misery.

Carla chose her way back to the Temple of Mercano.

Take Addle Cars.

And I begged Cars to come with me.

But Cars didn't shake his head vertically as hard as he could.

That's where I cried to Baldo.

Bardo thought.

I thought I'd go to the Mercano Temple, too.

If Bardo goes, Cars follows him too.

You will break your promise to embark on a journey with Jurchaga, but it will be unavoidable.

It's for Cars, Carla and Adolcars.

The family better not leave.

Sometimes if we stay together, we can have more kids.

I don't want to make cute Adolcars a fatherless kid.

Then I went to the temple of Mercano too, and Baldo's gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

Ha.

Why does Lord Bari Toad's face and such come to mind now?

What the hell news is this?

Bardo thought.

I feel like I'm missing something important.

Cars, Carla and Bari Toad.

Wait a minute.

Speaking of which, it was through the story of Lord Bari Toad that I learned of the fate of Cars.

When Lord Bari Toad asked me about the demise of the Grand Duchy of Zarban, I wondered who Cars was.

What happened then?

The destruction of the Grand Duchy of Zarban took place only in the four thousand two hundred and fifty-first year of the continental calendar.

I mean, it happened thirty-six years ago.

The Sinkai army invaded Zarban under the leadership of the General of Appetite.

The Sinkai Nation had indicated beforehand with Teula, Seion and Kalisau, and the four countries invaded at the same time.

Then, then.

We still don't know how, but Sinkai pulled out the west corridor.

Teula, Seion and Kalisau have also entered the Mount Mordos system.

Right.

And Zarban fell into distress.

General Appetite was originally the royal family of Zarban, so you knew the way out west.

Then what happened?

Later, the Knights of the Temple of Mercano and the Gainellian army joined the battle.

Zalban's defeat was a must, and he wanted a share.

Right!

That's what it was.

Mercano Temple Autonomy was one of the countries that participated in the Zarban invasion.

Besides, that means.

Zarban once thrives due to the activity of the King's Sword, but the resistance is crushed due to the advance of General Appetite.

Afterwards, with the knowledge of Uncle Ride of Parzam, Zarban surrendered to Parzam.

Naturally, the General of Appetite did not approve of this surrender, and consultations took place in various countries.

And an oath was made, and an offer was made.

The precious mountains were to be divided between the countries that participated in the invasion.

The Grand Duke clan of Zarban has to die.

Oh, my God.

Now Cars can't go to Mercano Temple Autonomy.

There's no way I can go.

"Master Bardo?

What's the matter?

Shut up. "

Bardo told Carla about Zarban's involvement with the Temple of Mercano.

We had already spoken and made him hear about the history of Zarban's demise and the fate followed by Cars during his former journey, so if there was a slight suggestion, it would have been cumbersome for Carla to recall that.

Kara turned her face to bright blue.

"Oh, my God.

Bye.

Bye.

Does Cars still resent the Temple of Mercano?

Because it is one of the countries that attacked and destroyed the sieve.

Because it is one of the countries that has prospered by taking away the green flame stone.

Is that why Cars won't follow me?

It is not.

That's not true.

All right.

The Temple of Mercano agreed and took an oath that the blood of the Grand Duke of Zarban should not remain in the world.

"Yeah.

But I can't believe Cars is pulling the blood of the Grand Duke of Zarban, if you keep your mouth shut. "

Cars doesn't look like that street.

If you're a human being with a story, you might recall the legend of the Werewolf King.

The Temple of Mercano is an exceptionally old country even in the Middle Plains.

I wonder if there are many people who know it's old, people who are studying it.

"Yeah, yeah.

Sure, a lot of people know it's old. "

And there must be a lot of people with special feelings.

"Ugh.

Oh, yeah.

Especially the four Archbishops, who are trained to feel the unseemliness of ordinary humans. "

If you were to settle down, there was a risk that the identity of Cars would be revealed.

"So, but.

Such an old promise. "

The word the country and the nation swore to God is not so light.

Although it used to be, it was about thirty-five or six years ago, so from the history of the country it can be said that it is very recent.

Most importantly, the vows exchanged between the country and the country are also easily broken depending on convenience.

But the political enemies of the Stortmenos will never miss that.

He said he was a political opponent.

Right.

It is not clear that the four Archbishops and their families are continuing their bloody struggle for power.

If anyone who draws the blood of the Grand Duke of Zarban finds out that it has become a trace of the Stommenos family, the political enemies of your father will sneer and laugh.

Even more so if it's a leap.

"Oh, no.

But the Sinkai Nation once lost the Second National War and no one really cares about those old promises anymore. "

So the promises that the country and the country have sworn to the gods are not so light.

And if your father's political enemies bring it up publicly, it will surely be covered.

Think about it.

I have agreed to eradicate the Grand Duke's blood in order to get back from the hindsight of taking away the Green Flame Stone, and to eradicate those who can claim legitimate ownership of the Green Flame Tree in the Mountain system of Mordos.

And the Temple of Mercano has been enjoying its abundance with green flame stones for more than thirty years.

Due to its hindsight, the head of the Temple of Mercano will try to keep the promise that the blood of the Grand Duke of Zarban will not be allowed to live.

At that time, Adolcars, naturally the son of Cars, is also killed.

And your father-in-law, who welcomed such an inappropriate person to his son-in-law, would be in a crisis of utter desperation.

"Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Bye. "

To keep him from doing so, Cars will not go to the Temple of Mercano.

Cars chose to separate in order to keep his beloved troubles and Adolcars out of danger.

Then Kara cried for a while.

Then he wiped his tears and left the room with a resolute look on his face.

"Master Bardo.

Thanks. "

And leave it out.

5

Three days later, that is, on the forty-second day of March, we gathered together again.

Bardo asked Kara.

Have you decided on your stomach?

"I'm leaving.

Take Adolcars. "

"I wonder what the name of the Lowen family will be."

It was the knight Kizmertl who asked.

Knight Kizmeltre and Knight Noah are the children of Count Huddle Zoráls, whose loyalty is dedicated to the Grand Duke of Zarbán.

However, the Grand Duke of Zarban was destroyed by the Duchy of Zarban, and was extinguished by covenant between the nations.

I can't name the Grand Duke now.

An alternative to this is the Lowen family.

The righteous Cars Lowen of the Werewolf King is the object of the loyalty of the knight Kizmertol and the knight Noah, and the Lowen family is the Grand Duke of Zalban himself.

Adolcars is the heir of the Lowen family.

Kizmertol asks what happens to the Roen family as they enter the Grand Temple of Mercano as a successor to the Stommenos family.

"I'll leave it.

There, I can't give in either.

Adolcars will be the heirs to both the Stortmenos and the Lowens "

Carla answered clearly.

It seemed like that was the only thing Kizmertl wanted to make sure of, and then he shut up.

That was the same with the others.

After a long silence, Bardo said.

Then Kara and Adolcars go home.

Then Cars made the move as he watched the story go.

Kars first pointed to Knight Noah, and slowly moved those fingers to point to Kara.

He then pointed to the knight Kizmeltre, pointing with his fingers to the earth.

After a little silence, Knight Noah drooped his head against Cars and poked his knee, putting his right fist against his chest and said.

"Ha.

Knight Noah will take the clan royal party and offer the young lady!

Late to that, the knight Kizmertl did the same thing.

"Ha.

Knight Kizmertol will remain in the land with the clans, serving Master Cars and helping and supporting the Olgazard family!

Cars nodded.

Knight Kizmertol and Knight Noah were also convinced that they could correctly read the meaning of Cars' operation.

Cars is about to embark on his last trip to Jurchaga about Bardo.

The Cars have two tasks to fulfill as Bardo's son.

One is to support and help develop this fusarion that Bardo has watched grow with all his heart.

The other is to make Adolcars, the heir to the Lowen family, a fine adult.

Cars entrusted those two tasks to two straight knights.

The departure was decided as May 1st.

I followed Kizmeltre's opinion that I couldn't take over without at least that many days.

The successor to the Second District Lords, where Knight Noah was in office, was assumed by the second son of Kizmertol, Knight Hungator, and the three-man trigger was to be attached to his assistant.

The successor to the Sixth Street Lords, where Noah's eldest son, Dali, was in office, decided to persuade the reluctant knight, Banzren, to take office, and Knight Seto, was assisted.

Either way Seto becomes the lord.

The two Holy Knights frowned for a moment when they heard that the departure was May 1.

I guess you wanted to leave more quickly.

But I didn't say anything to put it in words, I just nodded.
