The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

"Damn, you've already found it! Princess, please step back......!

Cover me, Elia stands up.

Gillius as well.

You can't run anymore, that's what you must have been prepared for.

Mr. Stra and the others......, that's Mr. Reid, he's perceiving the danger and putting you all down.

Most of all, enemies aren't interested in what's happening over there --.

(... is that, Belle...?

That's when I came up with something horrible.

She looked just like me, wearing the same dress as me, the moment she got into my eyes.

She even thought for a moment that shadow fighters, if they had to, should be prepared to throw themselves in danger on my behalf.

And the enemy didn't miss my gaze like that.

"... hmm? Princess, what did you see earlier --"

I followed the end of my gaze and opened my eyes to surprise.

At the same time, Gillius understands the situation perfectly.

And you must have thought the same thing about me.

I'm staring at the bell and stifling my face.

Even if Gillius made that decision, he can't be blamed.

Absolutely correct.

It is rather too gentle not to go on the bell and offer it to you.

In the first place, this is our role as the original shadow fighters.

But was it right to do what I did, just to watch in silence?

I thought it would be a good idea to sacrifice you for self-preservation.

Maybe this is Perne's nature.

As our gaze is poured into one point,

"Gi, Lord Gillius? What happened to the princess all of a sudden?

Only Elia remained unable to swallow the situation.

"What the hell —— oh, is that...!?

And she, too, seems to have noticed Bell's presence.

"The princess, two...? Lord Gillius, then this princess is no way an influencer --"

Bell must have heard everything, too.

She was alone and ran out in the western direction.

To the opposite direction of our escape.

...... thanks.

Your ready, I carved it on this chest.

"Hih, princess!!

Elia's reaction to not knowing about the Shadow Warrior also added to the authenticity.

Her chest ached unevenly on her desperate expression chasing the running bell.

"... Damn!

Your play will be the main thing, but I'm sure you're worried about Elia.

Throw me out, and Gillius will go after me, too.

While I made eye contact with Mr. Reid and the others that he left me to him.

In their actions, the enemy seems to have decided that Bell is the real me.

After a niggling laugh,

"Nah, I see. Have they eaten a cup?"

We chased the three of them and ran in the western direction.

Gillius, I'm sure, won't be impotent.

You should be back at me soon.

...... but Elia is different.

You will believe Bell to be the real me and continue to protect him from being foolish everywhere.

I told Elia an an irrevocable lie.

I may not be forgiven, but I still want to apologize.

Please, stay safe......

Since that day, it's been a week.

I have not been able to protect the princess, and I have been overthrown with no hands, nor feet, by the demons of my enemies, and I have taken her away.

That's how the Kingsguard Elias is now taking off his armor and wandering around in his cloak and hood.

The Wang capital is occupied by the army of Tartus, the first prince of the demonic tribe.

Whether an information manipulation was carried out, the overthrow of Burtoghu became their handicap, and the damage to the eastern section was announced as the work of the Burtoghu faction.

"How did this happen... It was Lord Brave and Resistance and Lord Gillius who defeated Burtoghu. I'm one of those people who bled...!

Yes, Lord Gillius.

I got lost in the fight with that guy.

I don't know where he's been, though, only for that guy.

The tyrant was defeated, the war ended, and the oppression closed.

Tartus declares liberation from the kingdoms of the neighbouring countries.

Freedom to remain a country or to be independent.

I made a statement that I would not be involved in that choice, nor in the movement of the countries.

It's a judgment full of intentions and hypocrisy to not make more enemies than necessary, nauseating.

"First, what happens to the Kingdom of Deltirade…. It's a virtual doom..."

With the kingdom in the position of belonging to Corcuete, the nobles are desperate to retain their present status, tailing their new rulers.

The princes and princesses who survived that day, they were all caught.

(Barbario and Camille are the exception, did the body rise in the river? I just heard the facial damage was terrible. Maybe......)

It was like Camille came up with something when he was chased by the golem.

Does that stupid prince have such wisdom, fulfill it?

"Kill him! Kill him! Don't leave a trail of tyrants in this world!!

"Please sign the execution! Execution of royalty!!

And now it is the movement to ask Tartus for the execution of the princes and princesses that is making noise all over the king's capital.

Wouldn't it be nice to peek at Princess Perne and soak up everyone's neck?

(such exercise, should be heard --)

Three days later, the execution was indeed carried out.

A execution table is set up in front of the main entrance square, where so many residents gather to fill the square that whenever the captive princes are beheaded with guillotine, a great deal of cheer rolls up.

Did the people wait for such bad taste entertainment...

"Hi-ha, hi-ha! No, I don't like it!

This is the last prince left of the prince.

He sees his brothers drop their necks and takes them to the execution bench crying.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. Please help me."

Stu, supa.

The rope is mercilessly slashed, and the chopping table drops its neck.

The neck of a prince rolling in tears and snot.

As the square turns up, I turn away most of the time.

(Such, mundane things...)

Because there is a big nickname for popular demand?

It must have been a hell of an opportunity to clean up the royal family that was having trouble disposing of it all at once, with no one to blame.

"I don't like it, wobble, who takes wobble!

After the execution of all the princes, the first princess, huh?

As I blurred to see how she could be put on guillotine, I saw the other in line waiting in the next order, and I doubted my own eyes.

"Pei, Princess Perne!!?

In my cry, I guess the people around me also noticed.

One twitch after another, the agitation spreads to the square.

No one had seen him anymore, such as the figure of the First Princess, who would be decapitated while crying.

"Dear Perne...!

"Why even Master Perne!!

"Ya stop it, that one...!

At last, by the execution bench, he appears to Tartus even to those who wish for his life.

"Please, have mercy!!

"Only Master Perne is an exception! Please, stay with me!

Yes, no one wants to execute Master Perne or anything.

Yet......!

"... Gentlemen, you seem to be misunderstanding something. This is what Princess Perne wants herself. You bet, princess."

Hey, what...?

Why would Master Perne want his death!

"... you're right,. My brothers and sisters, all have been killed and I cannot live with congratulations alone. If you're not going to execute me on this occasion, let me leap from the Spire of the Royal Castle."

Citizens squeal at the princess's words.

Inside even those who sob.

But, but.

Is that for real?

(No......! That was not the will of Master Perne! First of all, he's not ready to live with a corpse on his back!

Princess Perne was fixed to the headrest.

I don't know what's going on, but can you keep your eyes shut any longer?

I will never let that one die.

I, Lord Perne's Kingsguard, will defend that man by betting everything!

"Exercise Qi (Renki) - Soul Haughty (Congo Ushin)!!

Activates the depths of Lord Gillius and flies out like an arrow.

With the knight's sword in his hand, he chopped up the dropped guillotine blade and destroyed the truncating platform.

"... Mm!

"Are you...!

Before the demons who consolidate their surroundings respond, lift Master Perne's body and jump with all their strength.

Fly through the square alone, jump into the alley at full speed without pretending back, and run through.

No matter how many people are coming after me, I'll make sure they get away with it!

"(a), Elia......?

"Princess, I'm here to help you"

"... Elia."

Tears come to Master Perne's eyes.

After all, this one didn't want to die.

"Will you protect me, this me? This, me..."

"I don't even need to be asked. You swore an oath that day, didn't you?

"Protect me no matter what until this life runs out......?

"Remember... you were here"

Oh, it's Master Perne.

You remembered the vow I gave you that day.

This is the real Perne I swore to protect.

"Elia!!

I turned my hand around my neck and they hugged me.

Helpful... as long as it's a lot.

"Let's get out of here, Elia. Just me and you, everywhere..."

"Of course it is. I'll serve you everywhere, Princess."

△ ▽ △

I'm Belle, just a slave.

My role as a shadow warrior is to protect Princess Perne's life.

To that end, I stood on the execution bench hoping from myself.

To make you think Princess Perne is no longer in the world by killing yourself, Princess Perne.

To protect the princess.

"Princess, I'm here to help you"

I was ready to die.

I was able to, but I didn't know anything about it. I was broken by a barbecue.

... Yet.

How can I be happy right now?

"... Elia."

Why, tears flood me.

"Will you protect me, this me? This, me..."

"I don't even have to be asked"

I'm Belle, just a slave.

I abandoned 'myself', Princess Perne's shadow fighter.

I don't deserve to be protected by this guy like that.

"Let's get out of here, Elia. Just me and you, everywhere..."

"Of course it is. I'll serve you everywhere, Princess."

Minutes were disproportionate, and I wished.

Live with Elia, have a happy future.
