Wortenia Senki (WN)

That night, countless pine lights of fire were flowing through the dark night towards the castle as if it were a river.

Cursing, anger, and invisible enthusiasm envelop Ipilos.

"Finally it started...? He's right."

Signis gently closes the window curtain.

And when I took a single letter out of my desk, I lowered my hips deep on the couch and closed my eyes quietly.

Emotions that spring up one after the other in your heart are anger, sadness, and grief and guilt.

They push against the heart of Signis like turbulence.

(Everything was known beforehand...... the firmness planted between the refugees and the inhabitants of Ipilos had come to the limit of patience. All I had to do was predict the timing and tilt the scale a little bit. There's some makeover for that guy's gesture.}

Everyone is desperate to protect their lives and their families' daily lives.

This earth world does not resemble a hell similar to the ideal home preached by the monks of the Order of the Light God.

And that makes no difference even if it is Signis, one of the most powerful knights in northern Roselia.

Here the weak, the foolish have no choice but to be exploited and trampled upon.

(In the end, everything worked out the way the guy saw it. After that, just how I move......)

What comes to mind is what happened in this room a few weeks ago.

It was not until shortly after the war that Signis Galveira was contacted by a man named Ryo Mitsuzawa's true subordinate that he exchanged spears on the outskirts of Ipilos.

The masked man, dressed in black as if he were an assassin, snuck into a room in the castle loaned to Signis without making him feel any sign like a shadow.

A place of unlimited difficulty, even at all times.

Besides, we're in the middle of a war right now and the salutations are twice as harsh as normal.

It could be described as a terrible maneuver.

And this is how he whispered to Signis, who had a surprising hip sword in his hand.

I was wondering if you and Roberto Beltran would be willing to serve Ryo Michizawa.

Of course, that's when Signis smiled at the man's suggestion.

Assuming that the quality of the soldiers truly led by both Michiko Shiba is extraordinary, because that alone will not determine the victory or defeat of the war.

And above all, there are circumstances in Signis that prevent him from betraying the Garveira family.

As long as there are circumstances, we cannot betray the Earl of Salzberg, the Lord of the Galveira family.

(No... is it right that I couldn't)

That night, when many refugees from the South pressed against Ipilos, the man appeared before Signis again, he silently offered and disappeared a single letter.

When I read the letter, the shock of Signis was hard on his tongue.

At first, he doubted that it was a ploy, then realized that the letter was authentic and desperate, and finally realized that he was in the crossroads of his destiny.

(I never knew what would happen to the Galveira family now that my grandfather is dead... but the Count has both a brother-in-law and a grace... that's a fact...)

The dark emotions that have been hidden in the depths of my mind since I was a child have gushed to the surface for just a moment.

Signis is not a full-room child, although he is the six men of the Galveira family.

More importantly, he's not even a sideroom kid.

A child who lived in the belly of a peasant daughter whose father, now head of the Galveira family, held only once in a play before inheriting the title.

That's a man named Signis.

Well, a world where there's hardly any concept of contraception. It was only natural that we could have children if we exchanged men and women.

Signis' father, who was told that he had a child from his daughter, naturally ordered the child to fall.

It goes without saying again the difference in identity between the successors of a clean aristocratic house called the Baron's, albeit the lowest, and the peasant's daughter.

Moreover, the father had already had a child between the regular room and the side room.

If you are a second or third son, you are worth it as a spare for your successor, but not as a spare for six men on a boulder.

Not to mention, whatever the merchant whose mother's identity is powerful is the daughter of the great landowner, just a peasant wouldn't be able to expect any assistance from his parents.

Even in the sense of avoiding extra inheritance disputes, the judgment of Signis' father, who ordered my son to fall, can be said to be correct as a nobleman.

The same thing could have been said to my daughter, who is my mother.

Given the difference in identity, there's little chance she'll be a side chamber. No, even if Signis' father wanted it, he would never be able to do it, given his quarrels with his surroundings.

If you do poorly, you could be caught up in the struggle of the righteous wives and siderooms who want to give my child the next generation of barons.

Unwanted baby from parents.

Normally, a baby named Signis would never have grown. Without the sound of the crane of a brilliant predecessor Baron Garveira...

Ignoring the customs of the aristocracy, Signis will be taken by the Baron's family and recognized as the official six men.

Was that the mere pity of the previous Baron, or was it a decision with some sense of fate? I can't even be sure about Signis right now.

But at least Signis worked as a member of the Baron's family to train Buddhist martial arts without wasting his life saved by his grandfather. In return for his ill-founded stepmother and his frigid father against himself.

As a result, Signis grew into one of the finest knights in Roselia.

Without even knowing that was the beginning of a further tragedy.

(I wanted a place and tried desperately... but as a result I became a potential enemy of the Garveira family)

A weak man strives to win his place. What a situation that seems to be a story.

But unlike stories, the real world isn't as sweet as stories.

The figure of Signis, who strives desperately to gain his place, was the root of his fear, at the same time a tumor above his eyes for the Galveira family humans who have neglected and persecuted him.

That would be natural, too.

When will I be avenged? For a baron who understands that his work is never to be praised, the stronger Signis becomes, the more dangerous he becomes as a knight.

Then they could neither kill nor banish Signis.

The strength and fame of Signis, who has been young and diving through many training grounds, was such that it greatly increased or decreased the military power of the Galveira family.

I wouldn't have cared.

And they notice.

To Signis' greatest weakness…

(Looks like Hermeda is safe as far as the letter goes for now)

Handwriting of a nanny more familiar than childhood.

Even if there is something wrong with the handwriting of the actual parents, there is no chance of misreading the handwriting of Hermeda, the nanny.

Rin's letters dance neatly on paper.

And it is easy to see from the handwriting that she is safe.

(This letter only says that I am safe. But the fact that Baron Goshiba's subordination brought this letter... does it mean one thing)

Hermeda is the only thing that can be said about Signis.

I don't feel the feelings of flesh parents or anything like that for my father or mother, but only Hermeda is different. Signis will not fear death for her sake.

"Signis, it's me. It's Roberto. It is becoming unpleasant. We should move immediately."

All of a sudden, the door of the room is rambled.

Perhaps Roberto noticed what was going on out there, too, and flew away.

A rough breath echoed through the door into Signis' ear.

(You're in a lot of a hurry... you're a good guy. Roberto)

A friend of Signis who turned his back on the world and put himself on the slope.

The man who was supposed to be the least motivated by the nobles in this battle. Signis himself has heard dissatisfaction with this battle directly from Roberto's mouth.

But such a man has changed his blood phase to the crisis of the Earl of Salzberg and has come running.

It would not simply be an action from a sense of responsibility as one of the generals.

It's usually a sign in my heart that I admired the Count of Salzberg, even though I was evil with my fucking father against my surroundings.

(I just have to brace my belly...)

As Signis slowly lifts his hips off the couch, he removes the white paper medicine packet from his desk drawer.

(Roberto... Before the war, you told me to think only of myself... sorry, but this time let me sweeten that word. Let's get your judgment after it's all over... even if you wanted my neck...)

"Open it now. Wait a minute..."

With that said, Signis put two glasses on the table and put the contents of the medicine pack in one of them.
