"Stupid......"
I wonder what's going on.
I don't know why she's here, and Theodore lags behind.
(No way, Else was bonded!?... but it's weird. Hugo and the others were on the lookout, right? Those guys won't betray me, and they can't allow Else to guide them!
With the moving Theodore approximate, Leishe turned her gaze to the right.
"... His Royal Highness Arnold"
I don't have a voice calling my name. The look also seemed nervous somewhere.
Theodore also knows that these two have not been in contact since that chapel night.
I don't know what happened, but my brother was more flat on Liesche's awkward look.
"Looks like your stupid brother bothered you. I'm sorry."
"No, such a thing..."
"The story of this is that the prison was also imprisoned in the same place. Did you come out the window? Or even a hole in the wall."
"Hey, what is that question?!? Normally, I walked out the door!
"Ha. From the locked doors where the guards are, I don't know if I'm out of the ordinary."
Although Liesche seemed out of his mind, the tension disappeared from his expression and he also seemed slightly relieved.
My brother seemed to have more fun, but Theodore is not the place to be.
"What the hell...!
Squeeze your fists tightly and stare at the leashes.
"How the hell did you get here? How did you get out of that place!
"His Highness Theodore"
"I knew someone had betrayed me, otherwise it would be impossible! What have I been..."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I have something more to offer you than I do."
That's what I said, Liesche, he had a cold look on his face somewhere.
"Prophecy?"
Her odd power makes Theodore flinch.
The other person is supposed to be a worldless young lady your age.
"- One at a time"
Liesche gently raised her index finger.
"Keep your eyes open from the captives you capture. Even if you want to lock yourself in a locked room, it's out of the question, such as leaving you alone. Always keep an eye on two or more people in the same room."
"Ho, you're a prisoner!?
At least, it's not a word that pops out of a regular warrant lady. Suddenly he said something strange and accidentally disputed it properly.
Theodore is more and more hunted down to the wall because Leishe walks by without caring.
"The physical examination shall always be carried out by more than one person. Once you've made sure you don't have a weapon, do it yourself at the end."
With a dagger in his hand that he did not know where he had prepared it, Liesche continued.
"It's best not to leave clothes on or anything in the first place, but to do it naked. You won't be able to hide weapons or escape tools, and if the opponent is a woman, it's better. If you push yourself into the 'you can't run away dressed like this' mood, it will be a deterrent."
As if speaking of common sense, the red crease spinned the words.
"Mizume. - It wasn't appropriate that you didn't admonish my hands and legs, either. Yeah, in that case, I put my hands behind my back and put the cuffs in place. Then brace the roots of both thumbs with sturdy strings. Of course, it's best to restrain your ankles and then tie them to columns, bedding, etc."
Its eyes, bordered by long lashes, shot through Theodore. Its face, as beautiful as a doll, even makes you feel some kind of horror.
Even though it is, I can't get my eyes off it for some reason.
"But it's still raw and warm to do just this. Do you have any idea what the most important thing to do is?
"Huh..."
"Break the bones in both hands and legs."
Is she serious?
It gets scary, and Theodore cringes his throat. Liesche peeked slightly lower into Theodore's face with his back on the wall and said pale.
"We have to get this far. Break bones, restrain their broken hands and legs, take all their belongings and watch them in groups. For the first time since we've done this, we can determine that 'the enemy is unlikely to escape'. And still, it needs to be remembered in the liver that it's not absolute."
(What the hell, this kid!
Theodore knows her eyes very well.
I won't forget, I must have seen it on the battlefield someday.
In a land visited to assist the knights in their care, Theodore looked just like her.
"A missed enemy may take home information about his own army and his allies may be destroyed because of it. Civilians could die. So whatever means you use, you have to make sure you don't miss it."
(Oh yeah, these eyes)
Isn't this the eye of a man on the battlefield?
In the moment of such certainty, Liesche said this away.
"That's what capturing enemies is all about"
"... eh"
Theodore's back pops up in front of a girl with no talent.
I didn't even know the emotions I had here, and Liesche laughed unexpectedly there.
"- I've read about it in a book before. His Royal Highness Theodore seems a little too kind to take hostages and imitate blackmailing. You seem to have ordered me not to imitate anything."
"What the hell..."
"We've talked about a lot of things, but you haven't told us the key thing. The reason I let you get away with it is that it's a secret...... Aah!
He grabbed his shoulder by his big hand and Liesche stepped back about a few steps.
Behind her stands a brother with a slightly frightened look.
"His Highness Arnold."
"What to do with the person who captures you by guiding you through the perfect way of restraint"
That's what my brother says. When he takes off his jacket, he hangs that black coat on Lieche's shoulder.
For the first time there, Theodore noticed a deep cut in the hem of her dress. The leachet of the day is woven with his jacket and in great haste.
"Your Highness!? So, you can't! I'm fine, so please get your jacket properly!
"Fine. You keep it on."
"But then, there are signs of injuries…"
Before listening to Liesche, Theodore's gaze was poured on his brother's neck muscle.
(What, that wound)
There are countless scars there. They were all like ancient wounds, but I can see at a glance that they were deep wounds.
And from Liesche's mouth, I could see that my brother had hidden the existence of the wound and still told Liesche.
(... oh)
Theodore didn't even let me realize that he had such a scratch, instead of talking to me himself.
I knew I couldn't do it.
Theodore bites his teeth too hard.
(My brother won't tell me a secret. My brother doesn't trust me. Even though I know that)
That reminds me of a few years ago, when this country was still at war.
Theodore was in support of the battlefield at the time.
That shelter, which was built away from the front line and was carrying the wounded, was supposed to be a 'safe' place not to be attacked according to inter-state arrangements.
Even so, there were men who attacked the shelter. That was probably not a knight, but a kind of bandit.
You were in trouble in the war, their eyes were running blood. Pharmaceuticals and golden-eyed objects, and then he called and scattered food, and shook up the sword in his hand.
People who can move have fled, so it was the seriously wounded who were targeted. Theodore also tried to escape, but the wounded man with the sword was a facial acquaintance from the ghetto.
When I noticed that, it was popping up reflexively.
For Theodore, who grew up ignored by his father emperor and compared to his excellent brother, the people in the ghetto whom he knew in his service are not others.
You laugh on behalf of my father, you worry on behalf of my late mother, it's important. So I wanted to protect them.
I was prepared for terrible pain. That's what I thought he might have died. I kept my eyes shut all the time, but the moment I was afraid wouldn't come.
Instead he hears cloudy screams and Theodore looks up terrified.
And I saw my brother's back with the sword.
"Oh yeah...?
A convulsing throat finally produces a meaningful word. The voice seems to have reached him properly.
My brother's face, slowly looking back, was stained red with returning blood.
Red Shizuku flows through my brother's contour line. My brother hasn't changed one look in front of me, although I was human until earlier. Keep rambling with your cuffs and wipe the blood off your face.
At that moment, I wondered if my brother would kill me too.
Anyway, I've had conversations with my brother a lot since I was in the mood.
A beautiful and horrible brother who has hardly ever been involved.
Though he has tremendous achievements on the battlefield, he behaves cruelly and is feared by his enemy allies.
That's Arnold Hein for Theodore.
At that time, I couldn't move because of my fear for my brother.
But after he turned his cold eyes to Theodore, he said this with a pale mouth.
"- You did good."
'... eh...'
I don't know what they said, I get pompous.
Then his brother continued with his eyes slightly lowered.
'Trembling, I often tried to protect my subordinates. Not that I was praised as a royal family, but as a master I looked up to it. It was an act'
……
"From now on, don't imitate like you put your life on the line.... but be proud of yourself for being able to move like that. '
My brother watched me. Unlike him, I couldn't even hold my sword, and this is how I had to move backwards about Theodore.
I was incredibly happy with that fact.
(... you are my admirer. That's why you can't forgive 'that thing')
Theodore stares at the leachet in front of him.
(I wanted to if I didn't have to hurt you, but if this happens, I can stab you wrong. If I can harm her and touch the scales on my brother - …)
"It's no use trying to kill me."
I was overwhelmed by the thought.
Normally, the agitation that should be able to hide through openly comes out to my face. Apparently, she's swinging at me and I can't keep my usual behavior.
"I said I'd settle for it, but I'm not going to have a physical fight with you. Please answer more than that. What is your purpose?
"Of course it's the seat of the next emperor. There's no other reason why brothers with inheritance rights should fight each other, is there?
"I don't think so. That is why I ask you on this occasion, where His Royal Highness Arnold has also spoken."
Whatever they ask you, what do you answer? Theodore's determination will soon be overshadowed.
On the dress, the girl, feathering her brother's jacket, said something incredible.
"Your real purpose is' to bear the stigma of a great sinner as one who plotted to seize the throne '.... Isn't that what you want?
……
My brother, who heard the words, frowned.
But more surprising than my brother is Theodore.
(How could you...)
