Marquis Bayle, who is also careful what he holds to avoid committing suicide, died strangling himself with his own hands in an iron lattice. The guard testifies that the Marquis Baile told me to help him.

Suicide is an inexplicable way to die.

There was a slogan, but rumors spread quickly. The death of Marquis Baile had already been passed on not only to the castle but also to the town. Besides, I got all sorts of tails on me.

Jill sighed heavily in her room when she heard rumors from Camilla and the others who had her in town to see how things were going.

"After all, it is the curse of His Majesty the Emperor, so..."

"It's bad air. This is Marquis Bail territory, so the people of this town are cursed to death, and they're all threatened."

"I talked to Hugo from the Northern Division at the military harbor, but it looks like someone's stirring up the town."

"The people Prince Gerald brought in must be stirring it up."

Camilla snapped her neck at Jill's twinkle.

"Why Prince Gerald? Sure, I think Atashi would find this timing obnoxious..."

"If those who oppose His Majesty are connected to Prince Gerald, it wouldn't be weird."

It was obvious that the Marquis of Bail was involved with factions opposed to Hadith. But before I could follow it, I was killed by the Marquis of Bayle, and I was forced to eject the Hadith curse, which I thought had subsided once.

Enemy enemies are allies. Even if Gerald was already connected there, it's not unnatural.

"In the first place, His Majesty, who had no back shield, could have become so emperor at that young age because his surroundings thought, 'That would put an end to the curse'. If that premise breaks down, now there will be people out there trying to take the life of His Majesty, the culprit, to get rid of the curse"

"…… so the Crown Prince will gain momentum. So, Jill suspects Prince Gerald is moving to hold back the Crown Prince?

In fact, beyond what Jill knows, Gerald has incited anti-emperors, skipped information, and used it.

Gerald is a samurai, but he is also an intelligent politician.

"But what about it, actually? Is the curse not an exaggeration, but something that really exists"

Throw the question that Sieg poked at the essence. Camilla nodded.

"I'm only certain that the way Marquis Baile dies is not normal. It's hard to deny it."

"But His Majesty said it would be a curse if I were here."

You should tell these two.

Talk about Rave, about his blessings. I also showed Lady Dragon's ring.

Camilla holds both arms together and wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"It's hard to believe... but I've also heard of the emperor making a mystery call about what he sees in his fiancée candidate. If that's what Lady Ravé said, it would solve the mystery."

"I originally didn't know magic or anything like that. It's a myth, but if the captain says so, I will decide that it is... but there is no mistake that there is a curse, right?

"Before that, there's something you have to confirm. I mean, it's a curse."

To Camilla's opinion, Jill looks up while sitting in the chair and repeats.

"What is the curse……"

"Yes. It's been flushed by the dragon emperor's curse, but is that in the end? How is it that the Dragon Emperor is getting married? Besides, there must be someone cursing."

"... assuming the myth is true, it would be the curse of the goddess Craitos"

Jill was honestly surprised by the name that came out of Siege. Camilla twirls her horizontal hair around her fingers, making a face.

"I wonder if that will happen... Lord Rave, the Dragon God himself, is a myth..."

"My daughter-in-law is the shield of the dragon god. It looks just like what's going on right now. Wouldn't that be helpful?

"Huh? Wait a minute. What is it?

To Jill's question, Sieg and Camilla look at each other. Seems like a natural story for both of us.

"Speaking of which, is Jill from the Kingdom of Craitos? Oh, so it's a little bit different?

"I didn't really care...... back in the day, there was a conflict of opinion and disagreement between the goddess and the dragon god about the treatment of humans, right? So one continent was divided into two countries."

Protect people with love, or guide them with reason.

The teachings manifest themselves in the form of shelter in each country. The land of Kreitos, protected by God's love of magic and fruitful of everything, and the sky of Ravé, protected by the knowledge of reason and danced by dragons.

"What we're talking about is not a scriptural story, it's called folklore..."

"Craitos and Rave were originally supposed to be a couple gods who could unite the earth and the sky, or something like that, I've even heard of Craitos."

"Yeah, well, that's the thing. They had a time when the grace of the earth turned into a curse in conflict with the goddess, and they stopped growing anything on Rave's land. But the Dragon Emperor succeeded in getting a very powerful daughter-in-law - the Dragon Queen - to build a magical shield on the summit of the Lakia Mountains to plunge the curse of the earth from the Goddess. They say the magic shield at this time is now the border."

The curse of the goddess is certainly the same as it is in the present situation if Lady Dragon is present.

"The goddess was pissed off by the curse. But the goddess gets caught up in a shield, so she turns into a black spear and has a human carry her all the way across the ocean."

"Uh, a spear... is it the Holy Spear of the Goddess? Handed down from generation to generation by the Craitos royal family?

"Does the Holy Spear of the Goddess exist, to Craitos? I just thought it was a legend."

Sieg is impressed. Again, there's a difference in information between Craitos and Rave.

"There's a lot going on over there, isn't there? So, the goddess is a wonderful spear, and the dragon emperor and his wife gave it to him to stab the dragon queen. Lady Dragon realizes the identity of the spear and locks the goddess in her shadow in exchange for her life. As a result, the magic shield was extinguished, but the goddess could no longer return to her original appearance and the curse of the earth was gone. I'm talking about the dragon queen."

It's a myth.

It's a myth story, but the Holy Spear of the Goddess is real. Now Jill was attacked with that weapon six years later by Gerald.

(... Sure, Prince Gerald would still be able to bring up the spear of the goddess...)

Has the goddess's curse recurred because of this?

Sieg puts his arms together to figure it out.

"But it's only a myth. You can't believe it cheaply. The content of the curse is also different. The serial death of the Crown Prince seems to have helped His Majesty to reign."

"- But I can also think of this. I isolated the prince, who was supposed to be emperor without such a curse, as a cursed prince, and made him emperor."

Rave is right, if the Crown Prince was destined to make Hadith emperor no matter who didn't die, the Crown Prince's serial demise is total harassment.

"Well……… this time I am working against His Majesty after all………………"

"But then, wouldn't the ultimate purpose of the curse be Lady Dragon... the life of the captain?

"But I don't remember making a magic shield. Besides, even if I die, it will be enough to groove into the kingdom of Kreitos and the Rave Empire. But if the purpose is to isolate His Majesty the Emperor..."

But what good would Gerald gain from doing that? It would help the Crown Prince, but it's too far-fetched a way. Think about it, I realize.

(... Speaking of which, didn't it happen by now? Beilburg's compulsion......)

If you look at it historically, the solemnity that Hadith gave us in that one thing planted terror on people. The rivalry with the Crown Prince went hand in hand, and Hadith should have been isolated.

And now, the process is different. Marquis Bayle is dead. That's what comes from Hadith's curse, so I guess the same result is about to be produced.

Why, for what, who - no, I should care before that - is not the person who is said to have caused Bailburg's compulsion?

"……… Where is Master Sphere?

"Huh? Oh... I think I went with His Majesty to check the identity of Marquis Baile. Isn't it time to come back now?

"Even a father like that would think if he died. Though it would be better to keep it calm."

Sieg is right. But there was a strange heartbreak.

"I'm going back."

"Yeah? Jill, hey... oh"

Jumping off the chair, I heard a knock on the door.

It was precisely Jill who was trying to retreat - the Sphere - who came in with the voice of excuse me.
