Tower of Karma
Shogun: The Witch of Altvais Castle I
William was visiting under Felix for a petition to amend the law. Felix glances through the parchment with a slight lack of interest. William is also assumed to be around. By the time I joined the Felix faction, my interest in politics had waned.
"Whatever you want."
William laughs inside, getting the words he wanted most. There is no longer even a need to manipulate it through trivial ventriloquism. I hold myself to the first place in the right to inherit the throne without political interest. Of course, essentially Airhardt has an advantage as a candidate, but that also dropped a lot of power in this one case. It is in a position where it can be fully rewound.
"Thank you. Let's definitely lead Arcadia to victory"
"Uhm, encourage"
No interest. As disgusting as it was a little, Felix lived a peaceful court life. I'm not close to the rough stuff, I don't fall for anyone, and I've been cursing my brother with a loud voice for over seven years now.
"This battle has been a great force for Lady Rafael. Your son will be a very good general."
"... less than you"
Out of the blue came a thick word.
"Let's get unplugged any day. That's all your son has."
"I don't need a granny. Make it airhardt for you, and don't use long words against real competitors. Either of them is before you die. By then, Raphael has also lost his old power. He will never stand over you."
Felix retreated from giving up and began to look at things in a step-by-step position. Both the politics in the palace and the battle against other countries can be calmly determined if it is not my business. Third party eyes, it was just a little dangerous for a man in this position to have these eyes.
(It looks good. I don't like it very much.)
I don't think I'm going to stop where I like, but I'm more than happy to think of one thing in case there's someone in a position where it can be done. In that sense, this distraction of Felix was a troublesome condition for the out-of-the-box William.
It is many times easier to handle those who are blind to hatred and jealousy.
"Then I'll work out. So that Lady Rafael can be strong, so that he can transcend me."
"Hmm, is there that much of an instrument there? Fair enough, as I said before, I'll leave politics to you. Do whatever you want. If you want to use me, prepare everything, including the script. I don't do anything, I don't think anything. Use your name as you please. I don't need this kind of report or your aunt in the future. All I have to do is watch you guys. I don't want any more."
A slightly distorted look for a moment. The distorted pleasure of a man who realized his own small size and gave up his throne was the 'observation'. The power deceased spreading throughout the palace. Watch the struggle play up close that enriches the cause of those it weaves. Especially since it seems to be my favorite way to look at the distortion of the airhardt.
I never became a good man. Instead, it was too distorted and completely insane.
"I understand. After this, please excuse me."
I'll lend William my umbrella, but he doesn't seem willing to interact. Even as William, that's where I want it. I renew my resolve when I use it successfully to show it.
"Around to say hi. Thank you for your hard work."
"Going now is the Althauser family where old friends wait. It's a little far away, but it's easy."
"... Althauser, huh"
"Something?
"No, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you."
William frowned when he saw the look sticking to Felix's face.
"Be careful. For a man, 'that' is poisonous."
I had guesses about what that meant. But the sight of having to change perceptions about the strength of the poison was spreading ahead.
William heads to the demon cave, the Althauser family.

Two days southeast of Arkas with horse legs, there was a rich barn zone. Depending on the time of year, they can see a rolling sight of a golden hobo shaking all over the wide earth. In Arcadia's richest soil, the castle reigns.
"You've never been here before. That's the Grand Duke, different digits"
It was the first time that the Althauser family had ever set foot in this territory entrusted to them, although they had never entered the Arkas mansion. Naturally, it was also the first time we had entered this castle of Altvais.
"Welcome to Altvais Castle. Viscount William von Lewis"
In front of the castle gate, a samurai and a woman awaited William's visit. I bow my head respectfully. What I do is of the same quality as a first-class nobleman. Being the Grand Duke's maid of honor is better than the nobility around it. In fact, they even have a house where a maid of honor hires one daughter who couldn't be the heir to the Viscount or Count's house or who matters to create a relationship at all.
"Thank you. As soon as I asked to greet Master Leodegar. I was wondering if you could guide me."
"I'm hearing it from the lord. Come here."
A large gate opens. Gigi, make a noise...
"Be careful, Master William. Let us not be trapped in our darkness."
William couldn't stop laughing bitterly at the words that it was like a hell of a kiln had just been opened. I've crossed the dead line many times. I survived repeated battles to wash my blood with blood. Something that could well be described as hell or something against a heroic white knight.
But at the same time as the bitter laughter, I certainly haven't neglected to be alert to the enormous malice I feel. There is no doubt that something lurks. As I dived through the gate, I felt my skin tingle. It's been a long time for William.
There is something. If that original was the person you imagined, it would have continued to expand more than William imagined. It is no exaggeration to say that this visit, in a way, came to determine it.

"Well done! It's been a really long time. I was sorry I couldn't show my face to you. Woohoo, I miss you so much. I feel good."
William was stunned when he saw the face of the Lord of this castle, who welcomed William in the guest room.
"... Long time no see. It's been a long time since I've seen you again."
Leodeger von Althauser. He was a likeable man no matter who saw him. His face was neat, the atmosphere was rigorous, his head was covered, and the households didn't even have any gaps to go with it. So many men say, "This kind of thing" also clogs the words.
"Ever since that day. I'm sorry about then. I was disturbed."
"I don't care. As much as it's easier."
"Well, good for you. I've always cared."
The eyes are indented and the eyes have no light. My hair is minimal, but I can see pain by the way. The body is thin and has no overall hegemony. Above all, the appearance was that the atmosphere was someone else's.
First of all, I lost my eye. Even if it matches, I immediately look around. Evidence that the person is also insane that he or she intends to be able to hide it naturally.
"Dear Leodegar. How about it's time you went outside?
"That's good," Leodegar said to the samurai's suggestion. Let me show you a big farm in Althauser territory, though it's not a good time. I'm sure you'll like it, "he says like he thought," but it obviously looks clear that it's as in advance of the meeting.
Not so much, a being who instead avoids even the Leodegar who became the Lord of this castle.
"It sounds like an interesting story. I want my concubine messed up."
The faces of Leodegar and the Samurai distort. One voice, it was a voice that often passed. Lukewarm, crawling voices. Never loud voice, but I'm confident I'll never have to hear it.
"... ma'am. The lord is dealing with the guest. Please don't take your seats off."
Without taking the words of the samurai as a glimpse, the woman appeared on the spot with dignity without turning her gaze.
The bearer of a demonic and fascinating voice stood unaccustomed as if he had concentrated his voice. Beautiful enough to creep in, sexually enough to inadvertently lose words, a monster smiles demonically combining all the weapons a woman could want.
"Long time no see, Master Claudia."
"I've also been hating this castle. Deal with the concubine, William."
My spine is stirred up just because I was called by a name. The woman in the eye was very attractive. It is only natural because it has been considered a beautiful Arcadia princess who forms a bi-perfection with Eleonora. Beauty is mutual. It was just that of the beauty and Claudia that made me want to love, loved by anyone my sister had, it was like something different.
Wherever there is no love, as long as there is desire there, she attracts them. Intensely, half-compulsorily, the smell emits a lukewarm sweet fragrance. I can't resist it if I'm a regular person. There is a sexual desire for any innocent white man. It's more than being a creature, it's more than being a man. It's equipped stuff. And you can't escape that poison fang as long as you have it.
(I see. I have to change my mind. It's not something adorable called a female fox or anything. This woman is a snake. Powerful poison, it also releases a sweet fragrance that will attract everyone... I can't bear the end because my prey captivates me on its own)
The moment Claudia called me by name, it wasn't just William, the person in charge, who felt the colorful incense contained in his place. Moving his gaze to Claudia, the moment his vision ceased to be shared, the man had turned his intention to kill to William.
Face to face with a monster that captivates even a man who was so noble, William won't be able to afford it.
Even that Leodegar fell. That fact planted a little fright in William. My thoughts on Victoria should have been real. He had such powerful thoughts that he thought he was stronger than himself. It is scratched, ravaged and overwritten.
Claudia von Althauser.
