Unmotivated Hero’s Tale (WN)

Under the autumnal sky, where cool winds began to blow, a group of hundreds of men, hardened in arms, were heading straight north on the streets of the northern Empire.

A group of heavily armed cavalry proceeding silently without slapping one mouth in vain.

In that, there existed one brunette man who yawned heavily on his sleeping beard, almost unchanged in his attire.

"... His Highness Isterz. It won't be long before the border."

Yui, who was about to rub her sleeping eyes, smiles bitterly at the honest voice that was suddenly hung from her side. And immediately, I turned to him.

"I wonder if Your Highness will stop, Mr. Royce. I don't care if you call it anything, but I'd appreciate it if you could call it something else anyway."

"Well, I can't call you that. You were engaged to Miriam. If so, I want you to get used to this way of calling me"

When he heard the words from Yui, Royce shook his neck left and right just as absurdly.

Yui then reluctantly complained with a troubled look on his face.

"It's not like I'm the king's wife. Besides, I don't know what to tell you, but it's only an engagement. I didn't even put a book in it, so I guess I'm a little too early... or maybe a prank per noin?

The moment I hear that Yui remark, Royce's cheek draws slightly.

Yui, who did not overlook it, sighed deeply on the spot.

"... just a good reminder"

"Not at all, no alarm, no gap. As you try to build up faits accomplis from your feet like this, you're starting to look more and more like your father, so is he."

When he says so, Yui sneezes and scratches his head. And when I turned to Royce again, I opened that mouth.

"Anyway, it would be nice if you called me on the assumption of my original position. I wasn't dismissed from Clarice's third position."

"You're going to disobey me, but it's inevitable..."

"I don't think it's such a big story."

With Royce with a bitter look in his eyes, Yui could not help but remember once again how much he appreciated the honesty and integrity of the man in front of him and how fatigued he was even more.

Meanwhile, Royce, who doesn't know the inside of such a yui, reword his earlier words with a rugged look on his face when he manages to decide to be prepared to go against the rhetoric from Noyne.

"… then again, Excellency Istarz. It won't be long now, Lemuriak."

"Oh, right. Uh, Royce, have you been here before?

Feeling the agony of the magnificent officer in front of him, Yui decided to dare accompany his conversation with a bitter smile.

"No, I'm ashamed"

"Well, I guess so. Lemuriak is off the main streets."

"Yes. Speaking of coming to the land, to be honest, it's probably about the guys from the Novamim Autonomy"

The demonic stone handling from Lemuriak within the Empire was still carried out in its entirety via the Novamim Autonomy.

Of course, time has passed since last year's battle, when the Empire and Clarice collided directly, and mutual tensions are slowly fading. However, the seeds of distrust present in each other were still not wipe able, and ostensibly the demonic stone exports from Clarice remained suspended.

That is why the role and presence of the Novamim Autonomy within the Empire is increasing year after year. However, although lords are the only ones present when it comes to the autonomy of Novamim, it was also true that criminals by the name of Omersen are dividing up their substance, which makes them increasingly vigilant towards autonomy within the Empire year after year.

"Surely only as good as you, Omersen, can you say or not come to us... They're in business, so they must be desperate."

"Yeah. That's just why I'm also honest with you about the proposed measures against the Omail Sens. Because of Lemuriak, they were a little overpowered. Maybe that was part of your calculations."

"Ha, I wonder. But because they put so much effort into it, they were able to keep the majority of this unit. Why don't you just thank me honestly this time?

Seeing the intricate inside of the officer in front of him, Yui suggests so with a smile on his face.

But Royce only gave him a sinister look, and he never shook his head vertically.

"That's fair to say..."

"Heh heh, well, I know what your concerns are. That's why I put my troops in Lemuriak."

"Well... so you're saying it's also about surveillance over them?

When Yui's remarks are heard, Royce opens her eyes to surprise.

"Ha, well, it's not that solid. But if the Imperial Army is stationed on a large scale, there are naturally restrictions on their behaviour as well. Well, lately, it's been a little noticeable. You just have to understand that it also contains a little message from me."

"... who's you?"

"No, no, don't be too impressed. This is just an aside. There's no real reason."

Yui felt a clear increase in respect and vigilance in the gaze he was directed from Royce. That's why he decides he shouldn't keep it hidden and suggests that other reasons exist.

"Is the real reason…"

"Oh, the real reason. The aim is twofold, one because, as I explained the other day, we're not being distracted from our actions, and the other because we can't handle it in time."

"I also understand that to be unpretentious is the backbone of this operation. But what the hell do you mean, you can't do it in time?

Royce asks Yui that as she remembers her unspeakable anxiety.

Yui then gently spit one secret out of its mouth, smiling bitterly.

"Actually, when you go into Lemuriak, you need to be a little rough on each and every one of them. It's impossible to treat all the troops together on a boulder."

"Ambiguous..."

"Oh, it's a little disease called Rugelil's disease that you can't help but suffer."

The word, which was spoken from the mouth of Sarai and Yui.

Having heard that, Royce couldn't help but shout out.

"Nah!? Then Rugelil's disease is really!

"Oh. Rugelil's disease can be magically prevented. This is true. And that's why we can export Lemuriak's Demon Stone to the Empire via Novamim."

Yui laughs at the fact that she has never officially released anything before.

As soon as he did, Royce stiffened his expression for a moment.

Ever since Yui Istarz was sealed as Lord of Lemuriak, the amount of demonic stone mining in his land has acknowledged a sharp increase.

Originally, even the Empire had information that there were massive demonic stones in his land. Still, however, there is a reason why they did not cut his land.

Yes, Rugelil's disease, a terrible death disease, is spreading, but it was late.

That huge demonic stones are being mined in his land like that.

That meant only one thing.

This means that Yui Istarz used some means to deal with Rugelil's disease.

And naturally, not just the Empire, but all the countries of the West, and even those in the House of Lords in the country, were in the midst of an intelligence battle to uncover its secrets.

It was precisely that information, arguably certain, that popped out of Yui's mouth lightly that Royce could not help but wolf.

"And, but... were you sure?

"What do you want?

Yui tilts her neck slightly, like she really doesn't know.

Then, although Royce hesitated for a moment, he struck suspicion at Yui for going straight into the stand-alone.

"No... you can tell me about Lemuriak's confidentiality"

"Ha, you say funny things. You are one of those people who will fight with me from now on. Do I have to hide that from you?

"But..."

Yet now, under the Emperor's command, Royce is under Yui's command.

He believed, however, that it was only temporary to converge the disturbances that would be happening in the West.

That's why Royce can't honestly take the word for the man in front of him.

Meanwhile Yui, realizing such an inside of him, opened his mouth with a bitter smile as he scratched his head gently.

"Mr. Royce. You and I fought together as enemies once, and the second time as allies. That's why I understand you. [M] So if you ask me, I'm not gonna hide anything from you."

"... but I think you've fooled me the second time"

"That's terrible, Mr. Royce. I'm not fooling you. I thought you were obsessed with collective magic, so you went to the front without speaking up for a second."

He doesn't even show how bad he can be at all, and Yui tells him so with a laugh.

Then, completely quenched of tension, Royce exhaled a small sigh as well as slightly altering the spearhead of the story.

"Ha... well past is good. More than that, let's talk about what's coming. Based on what I said earlier, as soon as I get to Remliak, I ask all my troops to provide Lugeril's disease prevention. So that's good."

"Oh, that's the plan. I guess that's all that's settled tomorrow. Unfortunately, we can't take the lead this time."

With his hands on his chin, Yui mouths it that way somewhat unfortunately.

Then soon Royce asked what the word meant.

"Leading the way..."

"Yeah, leading the way. It's Britnia that's going to take the lead more than just fighting across the ocean. Attacking from us is unlikely to be an option. If so, the key is to strike back the right hand against the first hand of the enemy."

"I see, you're absolutely right"

"Yes, so the important thing is accurate information. And ready to move quickly..."

He accidentally swallows words and stops the horse from walking when Yui speaks of the future policy he had clearly defined in himself.

With such suspicion of his actions, Royce hastily peered into Yui's face.

His face, which had been a mix of laughter until earlier, was tightened, and his eyes were pointed to just one point directly in front of him.

Yes, to one woman sitting on the border.

"Cecil......"

More or less, he speaks of the name of a nostalgic woman who kept Lemuriak in his possession.

Then the flax-haired woman, who noticed him like that, slowly opened her mouth to the brunette youth with the same soft grin she had back then.

"Long time no see...... and welcome back, Mr. Yui"
