Cecilia opens her mouth as she organizes the information Janice tells her.

“How do you know that?”

That's because I am the descendant of the first god child, Lumiere.

Huh?

“You may have obliterated the history, but Nortlach was created by the son of Lumiere, who was driven out of the Prosperous Kingdom.”

He continues to do so as he holds himself in the palm of his hand.

"Even though I was supposed to inherit Omiko, I was born a Lumiere without any power or mole."Driven out of his country by persecution, he still could not abandon his homeland and built a country next to it. That's Nortlach. "

……

"As proof of that, I can freely germinate the 'barrier'."... that said, I'm the only one who can do this kind of entertainment, even royalty. "

Sarah confessed and stopped breathing.This is his secret that was not revealed in the game.I never thought I'd find out in such a place.

In response to Cecilia's reaction, Janice scratches her neck with a slightly surprising look.

"What? I'm not surprised." Could it be that you already knew? "

"That's..."

I see, Cecil is surprisingly good at observing.

He takes it upon himself to convince himself how he took Cecilia, who was speechless.

Janice reached out to Cecilia as if she wanted to shake hands.

"That's why I need your help, Cecil."I can't forgive the Caritas that are afflicting the people of this country. "

……

Cecil?

It's a lie, isn't it?

Huh?

Janice tilts her head with a smile on her face.

Cecilia stared at him like that directly in front of her.

"I honestly don't know the truth about the Catholic religion.Maybe you're right about everything.But that's not what you really want, is it? "

“How can you say that?”

"Then why did you take the [Sword of Selection] before us?"You know how to handle that sword and how it works, don't you?If you were really angry with Caritas, didn't you think you'd better keep your sword with us? ”

In Cecilia's quiet voice, Janice retracted her hand.

But still more, he spins his words.

"I didn't know you guys were going to find the sword."I just had it secured first.So, I'm sorry if I made you feel distrustful.... I told you so, didn't I?I said I'd give it to you... "

"As a reward for success, right?"Success rewards after your true purpose is successful.And if "crushing the Catholic Church" is your purpose, then you can't explain your actions so far. "

"I'll explain that later."I've been bothering you for a number of reasons.I'm sure you'll understand. "

"Besides, I don't know why you tried to kill Oscar."

Janice wholly shut her mouth there.For a moment, after becoming the face of a ruthless politician who lost his emotions, he once again pastes a good smile on himself.

Cecilia repeated her words to him.

It's not the Catholic religion that you hate, it's the country itself, right?

Shortly after the words, Janice started to shake her shoulders in a really funny way.

Even though I'm not shouting out loud, my voice is trembling.

"Great! Yeah, I like smart kids."Yeah. I hate this country.That's why I want to break them all.The royal family, the people, the religion.You have no personal grudge against Lord Oscar, do you?However, if you want to crush the country, it's easy to crush the royal family. "

……

"But I see. Couldn't you fix it with an impromptu lie?"You seem so simple, so I figured you could handle it, but if you're going to lie, you need to think about it....... I can't help it, so let's do it the way it should. "

Janice said that and gently spread her hand.

"Cecil, join us."If you don't join us, we'll sprout the seeds of everyone's [barrier] here. "

Too lightly, Cecilia frowned at the unpleasantness.

That's how Ain and Zwei were going to scare you, right?

"Those twins can't betray each other, can they?"My brother tends to rely on his brother.My brother is my brother, and I am governed by a sense of duty not to protect him.I thought it would be easier to be a puppet if I took one hostage and threatened it. "

"... hey, was there a Kadi Miraldo among the people you put on the [barrier]?"

"Who's that?"

"The name of the servant who killed Ain and Zwei's mother."

Janice mumbles her chin.

"I wonder how it went." I don't remember much about the old days.In particular, I try to forget the names of people who don't care about my life.Because, you know, life is a waste, right? "

"That's right..."

“So, what do we do? Are you going to be one of us?Will you give it to me? If I touch it with my hand, the seeds will germinate. "

As if to show off, he flashes his palms before his eyes.

Or did Cecil want to experience the Barrier himself?

As he threatened to do so, he brought his palm closer to Cecilia.But before Cecilia touches her palm, someone throws it at her.

"--Oh!"

"I wonder if you won't touch my princess."

It was Dante who appeared behind Cecilia without a sound or a trace.

He holds Cecilia from behind, staring at Niyanya and the person in front of him.

I see, you've been very vigilant.

"It's been a long time, Prince Janice."

"It's been a long time, traitorous Dante Hampton."
