Ernesta Kaif was away from the house of the Duke of Lüdiger, walking in the city and in the night breeze.
"Jared, you were like my brother once."
This one case became one that allowed me to know Jared for Ernesta. Of course, I can't tell you that I should have thought of the people who were harmed, etc., but it's true that I had something to gain for her.
Once, it occurred to me that my brother Barnabas was a candidate for court magician and purely aspired to be a court magician.
I was thinking about my best friend Torres and the future of the sorcerer, seeking strength but also justice.
"Since you lost your brother, only memories come to mind"
I know Jared isn't acting in a sense of justice, but the way he stood up and tried to protect his people and lords deserves respect. I thought it might be the way my brother went for it.
Unlike Barnabas, who had set out his ideals, he was trained as a magician by his parents because of his magic powers, and dazzled by Ernesta, who belonged to the Royal Sorcery Division.
Blood caught my eye when I saw Jared, who was seriously wounded. Like my brother, I got scared I'd lose it to him.
The relief when he wakes up safely is unspeakable.
If I realized, the unreasonable resentment I had against him had disappeared. All that remains in Ernesta's mind right now is gratitude to Jared for stopping my brother.
- Now we move on.
It was when Ernesta, with a sunny face like a possession had been taken, turned her heel back to return to the mansion.
"Ernesta Kaif - I'm here to pick you up."
"Who!
Suddenly he calls his name in a dark alley, revealing his vigilance and searching for the Lord of his voice.
The presence of the Orthodox Mage Army, an organization of mage supremacists, was revealed, partly because members of the Royal Mage Division were found to belong, and only a limited number of people were trustworthy to her.
Because of that, focus on letting the magic go at all times.
"We don't need to be vigilant, we don't need to be hostile. I'm just picking you up."
"... you are"
One man emerged from the darkness and Ernesta doubted his eyes.
Blonde hair stretched to the extent it takes on her ears and icey blue eyes. She knew she was a little older than she looked in the middle of the thirties. If you belong to the Royal Sorcery Division, you can't know what a magician looks like wearing a robe.
She calls fame with a trembling voice to the appearance of someone who is not supposed to be here.
"Dear Leonard... why are you here?
Leonard Gallagher, who heads the Royal Sorcery Division, was there.
Suddenly, Ernesta's confusion over her boss's appearance is extreme.
"What does it mean to be picked up?
"Being the sister of Barnabas Kaif, you deserve to be our comrade. Come with me."
"No way, are you - involved in the Orthodox Mage Army?
Asked in a trembling voice, Leonard agreed unchanged.
"This is my invitation, but I will refuse it"
"You have no right of veto."
"If you shout out, I think you'll be in a bad position too...... are you going to fight Jared?
Loud voices on this occasion will not reach Jared, who is in the Mansion.
With Ernesta's strength, he can't beat Leonard. Showing up and revealing something to do with the Orthodox Mage Army shouldn't just be done with it.
I was going to stab the nail so that I wouldn't be run over by reckless behavior by telling him his name to avoid getting informed and just getting killed.
"- It's my brother's vendetta. I was surprised when I found out he was alive, but I admire that it's quite something to do. With that boy's survival confirmed, I decided to welcome you early, and this is how I am directly in front of myself."
But when he heard Jared's name, Leonard dyed his face, which was quiet, with hatred.
"I'm sorry to bother you - but I refuse. I'm not going to give it to the traitors. I am a member of the Royal Sorcery Division. I serve my country!
"Well, you say the same thing as your brother."
Changing from a distorted look, Ernesta was puzzled by his words, which made him smile bitterly.
"Do you know my brother?
"Whatever. I was the one who showed him the way to teach Count Brawell injustice and avenge it"
"- Become"
She was stunned.
I did not know where my brother had learned of Count Brawell's wrongdoing and was about to run for revenge. But I never dreamed it was at the hands of the head of the Royal Sorcery Division.
"You, you instigated my brother!
Anger stains my vision bright red.
It blows magic out of your body and causes wind. Kicking the ground and fleshing to Leonard also tries to release a chunk of wind from close range -,
"It's no use. Stop it."
They easily catch their magical arms and are scattered with magic.
I don't know what kind of all-activated witchcraft they deactivated, but at least use one blow and the other arm to release the fist.
But they still grab me.
A calm voice called to speak to Ernesta, who was pressed against both arms and was unable to move.
"You don't have to be so angry. Me and you are comrades. And he's the victim of Murphy robbing me of my brothers. I had to kill my brother with my own hands because of him"
"Shut up! Do you know anything about your brother?
"Then know. My brother's name is Girill Gallagher. It's my shadow and my precious body, even if I'm not on the stage. Fighting Jared, petrified but thought to have taken his life - unfortunately, he was alive"
"It was your brother who attacked Master Jared and the Duke of Lüdiger!?
Then Ernesta threw up saying she deserved it.
I have no sympathy for the family of the man who created the cause of losing my brother. As an issue before that, they are criminals.
"Now you know. He said if it wasn't for Murphy, we wouldn't have lost our brothers."
"Don't be ridiculous! My brother wouldn't have died if he hadn't even avenged me! You're going to say you're not bad, instigating it! Jared is guilty of taking away my brother and still trying to accept me without running away! How could he be the only one who could say that?
Ernesta yells at me with emotions, just because I don't have a history against the captain anymore.
Even though he spits and manages to release his arm, there is no sign of Leonard's power loosening.
"Don't be with you or anything!
Ernesta, who can do nothing, rejects most loudly out of remorse.
"Hey, Dad - that's enough. Isn't it futile just to convince you?
In a moment, even once again, a new figure emerged from the darkness.
She was a girl who stretched out rare dark hair and twin-tailed it on the continent. He's about fifteen or six years old. He had an unusual grin and a cute look.
Ernesta stretched her body to a third party that she couldn't notice at all.
"Don't get in the way - I'd say, maybe you're right"
"Then let's do it fast, shall we?
Leonard nods at a girl with an abusive, distorted grin.
But keep your mouth shut.
"Huh."
"Well, you got in the way. Think this is the last time - Ernesta Kaif, come with us. Those who resent Murphy are also comrades. Kill him with us and drag down the courtroom magicians without strength. And let's get rid of all the kings, the nobles!
"It's crazy - you can't possibly do that"
I said what I had to say by summoning all the courage of Ernesta Alan, even though I was horrified of Leonard, who was mad in my eyes and convinced I was never doing anything wrong.
"I'm not going to be one of you!
"Right...... too bad. Do it."
"Ha, daddy"
Ernesta's arm can't move while Leonard catches her trying to escape.
At least I don't care what happens to me, so I want to tell you who the enemy is. I hope so, but the resistance ends in vain.
On her chest, which kept fighting, the girl's fingertips glowed and magic was released.
"If you refuse to be our comrade, ask them to follow you with strength. It's such a shame to end up like this. Ernesta Kaif."
It receives magical light and the consciousness goes away.
"Jared, Sama... Lily, Mr.... Brother... Takeshi"
She asks for help in a fading consciousness, but her voice reaches no one and disappears.
