Tower of Karma

Wilhelmina laughs bitterly when she sees Victoria finished dressing. The material resembles the best delicacy among the sisters, my mother, who was more beautiful and gentle than anyone else. That used to be unforgivable. I couldn't forgive my bright daughter for this bottom line, which was born instead of the death of my favorite mother.

"... it's so beautiful, Victoria"

Wilhelmina was the center of the sisters, probably bullying Victoria. Back then, everyone was shaking at the loss. Then the dark age of Bernbach, which lasts for years. Seeing as my sisters were blurted out of my crazy father, I turned my spearhead on Victoria, like eight hits, and I pointed.

"Thank you, sister. I can't wear a dress like this on my own, I'm not good at makeup, and it helped me so much. It's painful, but hehe."

Bottomless smile. It was in those dark times and Victoria's. That didn't change. It is a distortion. Even Theresia didn't try to touch Victoria. Other sisters also neglected Victoria, the culprit of the dark ages, albeit indirectly. The answer to that is this smile. Would there be such a sad appearance?

"Hey, Victoria. This will open you up from Bernbach. You resent us, don't you, Bernbach? I don't need to laugh anymore. I don't need to hide it anymore. Hate us. And be happy."

When Vlad's spearhead turned externally and came somewhat calm, Bernbach's house finally regained its sanity. And we remembered a lot of the barbarism we did to Victoria, and it was to be captured with regret. She was not guilty. There was nothing wrong with her.

"But now you love me, don't you? I like it. Your sister likes you all. Something that hurt us all then. That's because there's no choice. He apologized to me afterwards. You stayed with me. That's enough. I don't resent you, nobody. Not even your father."

Victoria's smile heals everyone. Break their hearts at the same time. I can't hold my conscience back. So some sisters stay away from Victoria. Because I'm so sorry. Half of Tellegia and Wilhelmina are beside us because of that blame.

The other half, just like the sisters who admire her.

"You're an idiot, you really are an idiot. I wouldn't get tired of avenging you a hundred times, that's all they did. You always laugh and poke your weakness at us"

Wilhelmina held Victoria in tears. Most of all, I'm proud to have hurt her. I had big, oversized regrets.

"Then be happy, just be happy. Tell me as soon as something happens. I'll do whatever I can. Anything, let me, please."

Victoria knew how weak this sister was. That weakness is attractive. A very cute place in Hua called Wilhelmina. In the midst of being harsh, he was really, rarely, just a little gentle with me. It was her weakness, because I saw her tenderness. That's why I could stand it. One day, the light will shine, he said.

"Yeah! But hey, even if I talk to you, it's gonna get extra messed up if you're my sister"

"... is that what you're saying you're currently running away from home?

"That's not true. If not. I was just there."

There were tears in Wilhelmina holding up her ears. Stuffed not to show it to Victoria, he releases his ears with a very gentle look.

"Be happy. You have that right."

"We're still ahead of us. I think it's too quick to wear this."

"... wear it. You get it. I mean fat."

"I wonder. Maybe Rutgard made it small. You put it on."

Victoria getting pounded. But it was actually the right answer. Rutgard will be sneezing by now. And I should start sewing somehow in a good mood.

"Does that Rutgard my daughter like with that boy too? Hey, it's not hard!

Wilhelmina in a hurry. The competitor thought it was accurate because he didn't have a clear enemy, except when his personal name came up. Because Wilhelmina knows a lot of good things about Victoria, but also a lot of bad things at the same time.

"It's been a long time, before me. If they're serious, they lose. But, you know, there's only one place I beat Rutgard. That's all I won."

"... all I can think of is appearance. I can't believe you beat someone else's maid."

Wilhelmina shouldn't have missed the answering face. I thought about it and didn't see Victoria's face in the mirror. If I had seen it, I might have been able to see it.

"I'm an idiot!

Wilhelmina's fist flies at the twisted answer. "I'd love to, sister. Well," cried Victoria, crushing, "I'm sorry," Wilhelmina said, "Hmm? But Victoria smiled all the time.

False.

William's army instantly dominated a small group of nations. That's a speed not assumed by anyone in Arcadia's own country. It was too early, too strong an army. Even those inside were strong enough to command William. The measure fits in perfectly and builds up the victory lightly. There was even a fear that if the target was inferior, it would be so overwhelming.

"Well, apparently that's it."

But the march ends here. The boundaries of the Roulya River divide into two branches, the opposite bank of which is so far away that it is sumptuous. Still clearly visible. I see a black flag, a wolf flag.

"Stupid. I knew it was moving earlier over there, but why do you agree to march so fast?

Angelm floats a question mark. William responded with a laugh at it.

"What, that's all he'll do. Instead, if you're wearing the same clothes, don't forget to wear them. Now neither country can hold hands. A country within the Quasi-Seven Kingdoms with national power second only to Aquitania. Darnubius, capital of the god of water, sandwiched between East and West by Lulya and inhibiting even a few. This is the end of the line."

The huge fortified city was in between. From there, the mountains cover without much distance to the south, and through the valley between them, Roulya goes to the south. In other words, the river protects the north, east and west, and the south is the natural key that the mountains protect. Difficult to drop.

"Normally it flourishes as a hub of trade, but I pulled that bouncing bridge in, but at the end of the day, I can't attack it with my normal hands. It's one of the most defensive forts in the world."

Terrain difficult to attack. But that is not the only reason for the impenetrability.

"Additionally, the fact that this place is responsible for trade in different countries, its midpoint, also makes the offense more difficult. I want everywhere, but I don't want to be taken anywhere. If it's enough to be taken, it's enough to cooperate and sell thanks. Even until we got here in the first place, it was many small countries that bordered this country, Ostberg a little down the river, Saint Lawrence to the south across the mountains, and Garias holding back behind them. This is all the interest that is giving us a glimpse. And now Arcadia and Nedeluxe are in that circle too"

I'm no longer talking about dimensions that are difficult to attack or anything like that. When you show the will to take this place, you need to be prepared to fight it all at the same time. And that was also something that went well beyond the responsibility of the Legion Leader.

"The Black Wolf is the limit here too. I wouldn't allow my employer, Nedeluxe, to attack. And I can't find a reason to get permission to attack this place, either. Right now."

William returns the blemishes. Leave only a minimum watch and retreat. It will be a pile of countries that have dropped it and its neighbours, for every various negotiation, but it is the work of the civilian. This is no place for William to squirm right now.

"I did what I had to do. We're leaving."

Instant instant execution. Besides, the season is already winter. Whatever you do, it will be the following year. Now it is enough to triumph over the results obtained. What needs to be done is in Arkas.

(Well, is it that time of year?)

William stares at the hand. Bloody, squeeze that hand.

The season was about to cross autumn and winter. As the tumultuous year draws to a close, the world often falls dormant because of the dawn of renewed turmoil.

William was coming to Bernbach's mansion. The moment we arrive, we shake off Marianne, who has been following us, and go to Vlad's waiting room. It's been a long time since I've seen him in person.

The current situation is being examined sequentially, and William's main purpose is to ascertain whether it is as reported. Because I know why Vlad called in anyway.

"Oh, my son. You've come well. You'll be tired. Sit down here."

William laughs inside when he sees Vlad's face. I guess I'm getting tired at a party day after day. There is a big neighborhood under my eyes and my eyes are congested. Are you losing a lot more weight than before? You look weak and small. But there was a dark flame swirling behind his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"A single ride in Corsica is a story grass in the Royal Palace. I have a high nose too."

Vlad himself pours me wine. The contents will probably be the product of bad habits. I was colouring my blood. You seem to be thriving.

"No, it's only with my stepfather's back shield that I can safely get out to the battlefield."

"Fu has a good mouth while my son. It sounds disgusting when you're too humble."

Taste the bloody vinegar as you bicker. Even William, who is not too annoyed by the taste, can assure you that this drink is not a good idea. Every time I see you, every time I drink it, it's getting thicker. The saltiness, the slight aroma of iron, lowers my mood.

"By the way, I have a party hosted by the Marquis Meischberger tonight. I want you to join me. [M] We're all waiting for the White Knight to join us."

The requirement was this. party with those who are superior to themselves. A fine drink that attends a different aristocratic meal every night and interacts with the superior. For the superior, Vlad can only be William's stepfather. If the scenery changes this way for one of its values, you will also drown.

"If it starts on the way. The current state of affairs, which winter has not yet arrived, cannot be discouraged. We don't have a stable small country to sort out, and if you do, you have to think about distributing your share."

"It doesn't matter if you're on your way. Strikes are the ones that appear late. No, what I'm saying is that this will keep my face, too. He asked me to follow him quickly. Sorry I'm busy."

"No. I actually dated you all. I have a job."

"But the job description isn't that of a martial officer, it's that of a civilian. Hey. Well, it can also be considered evidence of being great. Speaking of which, you didn't celebrate becoming Legion Leader. Congratulations."

"I'm afraid. This is all thanks to Master Vlad for pulling me up. I haven't forgotten. He said it was none other than Vlad who showed me the way when I was dull. Therefore my allegiance is neither in the country nor in the royal family. I believe it is my loyalty to Vlad."

Vlad breaks up and drinks all at once. I know it's Vlad. That my value is only the man in front of me, the shield behind it. That's why the words in this hand work well. Believe it. Don't believe it. Because if you don't believe me, the situation will break now. Because you lose the different environmental changes that the White Knight has given you.

"One thing I want to keep in Lord Vlad's ear"

William suddenly makes a serious face. Vlad also makes a harsh face, but he was slightly yawning and expected William's words to continue after this.

"Following the north, the small group of countries in the southwest was also held by Arcadia on the eastern side, across Roulja. Our country has expanded its territory even further. Then we will also need a new lord with a new territory. Although a small country, a country is a country. There's a lot of people and a lot of land, and there's a lot of countries I've dropped... and they'll increase even more because my men are going to calm down the rest of Kass."

Arcadia grew much bigger in this battle, along with the Northern case. It's already nearly double larger at this point compared to when we didn't have the North and Southwest. It is Arcadia today that has that great body to spare.

"We need good rulers. An aristocrat in a capable and loyal aristocrat who understands the country's intentions and can manipulate the people. I, Lord Vlad, think you deserve it, and I take the liberty of recommending it. I was wondering if they would probably entrust me with the old Genova."

William uses a seemingly sorry face and voice color to give Vlad further greed. William thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to play with 'this' a little more, though he's already had plenty of dipping to his head. This neighborhood is honestly a hobby area.

"Yes, no, but such a major role -"

Vlad, who can't hide his joy in front of the big player. William grinned inside, whispering a no push word in his ear.

"This job is a difficult one. The territory to be entrusted will also be quite vast. A position to entrust a single nation, albeit a small one… a clear shortage in the Count. Therefore, those entrusted with this mandate will be granted the status of Marquis."

Marquis, in that word Vlad's heart swings and falls. The sea of desire, dragged down to its abyss at once. I can't fight it. I want to give this man more, more. Give it, give it, fatten it to the extreme of disproportionate minutes, and take it all away.

"Wow, I can be the Marquis? This Vlad von Bernbach?

"I'm the person to be. That it was just an unfair evaluation until now. I don't think it's worthy of a Marquis and a Vlad vessel. Ahead, I'll cut the road to the Duke and show it to you. Please wait in the Marquis' chair. I won't keep you waiting."

Vlad took William's hand with a senseless look. "I had a good son," "Thank you," etc., and throws a thank you to William. Eyes drowned in desire, the flames that float make you feel even more plush, and your face turns into something even uglier as if it represents the inside.

"When winter arrives, generals will return from all over. As a result, it is not a roundup for this year, but we plan to carry out promotional ceremonies, etc. that were all abbreviated. And you'll be awarded the title."

Vlad holds William's hand. As if to make sure what's there isn't a phantom. He drowned his head and even had tears in his eyes. A pathetic beast who loses love, loses her sanity, seeks light and still lives in vain. William's eyes looking at it were completely chilled out.

(Do you think this will end when you are saved? Really, he's so stupid)

William snorted. Weak beings that are not worth killing for the pathetic beings in front of them. I sought the heat of madness to fill the cold of nothingness. Hot madness and overflowing desire. Something weak that can't live without it. Weak, and strong.

A fool who is the same as William and has the opposite nature to William. That's Vlad von Bernbach. This man is already sinking at the bottom of the ocean.

○

As William exited Vlad's private room, he noticed one snuggly glance pouring down. The Lord of gaze is not even trying to hide it.

"You can't save me. Moths seeking light never emit light."

Strengthens gaze. A clear intent to kill stands against William. Intense intent to kill. But William thinks this kind of killing is a trick. I just want to hide my denial, and this is a killing intent to protect myself. In other words, something to delude.

(Too childish compared to what that woman was pointing at me)

The mutilation of wounds between those who live in nothingness. It is not to William's knowledge of what the Lord of gaze attracted and swore allegiance to. Whether you were attracted to the light of the substitute like an object, or whether there was a time when the man was shining, it is not a good thing now.

(Now I will not plead guilty to you. I'm in the same hole again. No consciousness, that's all the difference. The method differently takes heat away from others is the same. So what I'm going to make is not revenge)

William's hands are painted with blood. Now that I know myself, now that I've made my way, it didn't mean a lot, such as about Vlad. It's just work,

(Turning down is my way. Absolutely zero degrees to seek. You guys...)

It's just an accompaniment.
