Episode 273: Later Story (1)

The sound of footsteps resounds in the royal castle, Esnoren.

Silis, wearing a platinum dress, walked down the aisle without hesitation. He stepped forward confidently, ignoring his past as a doll.

But, as it was natural, there was no fuss.

From soldiers and knights guarding the castle to even Prime Minister Paloland, no one thought it strange to see Sillis walking on her own feet.

───Kooung.

Silis entered the royal bedchamber.

A secret place that no one dares to approach. In the midst of luxury full of luxury, there was the King of Estyria and the 1st Prince Balugna.

Two people sitting opposite each other on a chair.

He opened his eyes blankly with his gaze directed diagonally down. Breathing and blinking, all of this was repeated regularly, like a machine.

Those who inherited the blood of the royal family of Estyria gathered together.

Sillis, who had been silently looking at the space for a while, approached and spoke in a small whisper.

“Asher is gone. Obama and brother.”

“… … .”

There was no answer.

However, Silis let out a sigh as if vomiting.

“Once again, it is over… … I have a feeling that The royal castle is so wide, how does it feel so different simply with the presence or absence of one person?”

It was like the Dark Warton’s mage lord.

His gaze seemed to see right through the girl who was pretending to be a doll. That coolness still lingered in the senses.

Certainly compared to Leonil, who had the heart of a witch, there was an insurmountable difference in rank.

“That kind of people rule the world. Not just one country.”

“… … .”

“I think Obama wanted something similar. He is a great king who will wield unbridled power over the entire continent beyond the kingdom and leave that reputation in history… … No matter what happened to my mother or the kingdom of Estyria. My older brother wanted to inherit his power by clinging to him.”

It was excessive greed that did not fit the subject.

So many people died. The invisible blood and tears flowed like rivers.

In my mind, I want to kill them both.

I wanted to see them die in their screams.

Of course, I have no intention of moving directly into action. Silis had a new goal, and these two had roles to match.

“From now on, I will change that dream completely.”

Silis’s eyes turn to twilight.

The peculiar aura that flowed from the slender fingertips permeated the heads of the King of Estyria and the first prince.

Having already lost their wits, they could only be led by dreams that overshadowed their thoughts.

rattle, rattle.

The two had a small seizure.

My head shakes and my hands and feet twitch intermittently. Her body resisted the witch’s magic with all her might, but to no avail.

Because the initiative had already been taken away a long time ago.

“eww… … uh… … !”

“Keuk… … ぅ… … .”

The subject of the king and the prince is lost.

However, there is nothing they can do about it.

Everything will flow according to the will of Sillis. Eating food, walking, breathing, and even death.

These were the shackles and punishment she gave.

Still, it wouldn’t be too bad for the two of them.

No matter what you do on the inside, you will live a life worthy of a king.

Sillis smiled softly.

This is her new dream to come true. Estyria, ruled by witches, will be different from before.

certainly.

The weather in the afternoon was sunny.

The warmth of the sun and the winter air blended pleasantly.

Calia looked at her right hand, unaware that the tea in front of her had cooled down.

Carefully caressing the blue jeweled bracelet, a smile appeared on her lips. The Marquis of Esperenza, who was staring at him, sighed.

“Isn’t that great?”

“I received a present, how could it not be nice?”

“Don’t attach too much importance to it. It’s likely just a farewell gift.”

“… … !”

Calia shrugged.

The Marquis of Esperenza lightly clicked his tongue as he couldn’t hide his agitation.

“Tsk, I even made a seat for you, but I can’t speak properly for fear of being rejected. I wish I could have shown the bravery when wielding the sword back then.”

“… … There are steps to moving forward.”

“Do you know when we will meet again? Are you going to just take steps until you die of old age?”

The Marquis’s blow pierced his heart.

Calia, who had been silent for a while, sipped her tea while avoiding her gaze.

“Then, shouldn’t I go find it?”

“That kind of thing is called obsession in the world.”

“I am close to Jizo.”

“It must be your idea. I wonder what Asher will think when he hears it.”

“Even a father cannot read people’s minds.”

“Better than you who have never met the opposite sex.”

Calia was speechless.

I tried to refute something, but I couldn’t think of anything to say.

I blankly opened my mouth and turned my head. Anyway, the current conversation is a little bit, but my heart is broken.

Marquis and his daughter.

These were high-ranking nobles, but now they were ordinary parents and children. Words I wouldn’t normally say came naturally.

I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been able to afford my mind.

The Marquis of Esperenza was very happy with this situation. Putting down the teacup, he spoke softly.

“If you have any lingering feelings, you should have grabbed it instead.”

“… … I don’t want to be a stumbling block.”

Asher had a goal.

Even though I couldn’t cheer them on, I definitely couldn’t do anything to block their path. Calia remembers the terribly distorted face she once saw.

“However, it is difficult for me to help with the power I have now. Because I am very immature.”

“That’s right.”

“… … anyway. In that sense, I have a request for you.”

They met each other’s eyes.

There was firmness in his dark red eyes.

“As the mediator dispatched to Loapra, please leave that role to me.”

“… … !”

The Marquis narrowed his brows.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy.

“What is that mine?”

“It is to develop my lacking ability.”

“Ability.”

repeat the word once.

It was only in an instant that I finished thinking.

“If you want to grow, there are countless paths. The same goes for being taught by me and Melzard. Or, how about going to the West Continent to study like your brothers? Your mother is there too, so you won’t be lonely.”

“I want to learn from my father.”

“hmm… … .”

The Marquis tapped the armrest.

“Managing people is never easy. The powers of the underworld under the control of Vintert must be even more so. Even more so, due to the nature of Loaf, she will be wary of the Marquis of Esperensa. Simple hardline or conciliatory measures will not work. Of course, I wouldn’t be hasty to be hostile, but… … If you suppress them strongly, they will wield their claws.”

“So I am going to try it. It’s not something everyone can do.”

Calia’s determination was firm.

I know it’s difficult, but I’ll try.

The Marquis got up from her seat and approached the window. He looked at the mansion’s garden and said.

“It is a reckless decision.”

“I think it’s better than my father who rebelled… … .”

The Marquis laughed at the correct rebuttal.

After all, it was none other than Calia who inherited his personality. So I can’t force that stubbornness to break.

No matter what you do, it will be of no use.

It was the same with the marquis in the past.

“Okay, let me.”

“Thank you, Father.”

“Instead, before being dispatched to Roapra, until the first half of next year, I will have to raise my level even more through sparring with Melzard. At least in the underworld there is no greater deterrent than force.”

It was what I was hoping for.

Calia smiled and nodded happily. In this way, the arbitrator to be dispatched to Loafra was decided.

Calia de Esperenza.

She won’t stand still.

“It passes! pass by!”

“hey! Be careful not to collapse there!”

city ​​asern.

Dozens of workers were busy moving in the center where a lot of people come and go.

He was busy working on the exterior and interior of the five-story building with a large floor area.

A cafe across from the construction site.

Sitting on the terrace with a clear view of the outside, Fernet enjoyed tea time. It was the leisurely feeling of being the owner of an expensive building from a mere creditor.

In addition to him, Information Award, who was recruited into the Marquis family of Esperensa. There would be no shortage of money in the future.

‘I’ve only met one person.’

This happened in less than a year.

It even had an influence not only on her, but throughout the kingdom.

It was eventful and there were times when my heart sank, but looking back, it was fun. It’s been a while since we said goodbye, but I already miss that time.

“Where would Asher be by now… … .”

Come to think of it, I didn’t ask for the destination.

Judging from the fact that he asked for information on the western continent or the eastern continent before, he might be trying to move the continent.

Whatever happens, I just hope it goes well.

“… … Oh.”

I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten.

‘I didn’t write a letter to Senior Pale who introduced me to Asher.’

It didn’t matter if I didn’t send it, but it was a matter of mood.

In a way, it is also a life saver. If it hadn’t been for help… … She didn’t want to imagine what would have happened.

At least I wouldn’t have enjoyed life like it is now.

At that time, a blue light shimmered in his arms.

Seeing him, Fernet nodded and stood up.

“Is it stuffy because you’ve been around for a long time? Yeah, I was just about to leave too. In the meantime, shall we go for a walk?”

The light flickered irregularly. It meant a strong affirmation.

I can’t put it into words, but… … Lately it seemed like I could understand what Blue was talking about.

more intuitively.

‘It’s like we’ve gotten closer, right?’

Probably.

Thinking nothing of it, Fernet left the cafe.

* * *

Northern Gray of the Principality of Riviant.

The shadow, where all kinds of intelligence dealers secretly receive requests and connect, has finally returned to normal after a very confusing few months.

And at the top was a man.

“Whoa, I guess I can finally rest.”

Information fail.

He is Gray’s informant whom Verden first met.

Originally a native of the South, he expanded the scope of his activities in a chaotic situation, and as a result succeeded in firmly rooting himself in the North.

An information award that covers both the North and the South.

The most influential person in the current duchy of Gray was Pale.

I press my tired eyes and caress them.

Disputes between information merchants, transactions with nobles, management of manpower to carry out requests, etc. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good night’s sleep.

‘It would have been more convenient if Asher-sama had been here.’

Fail recalled the gray-haired man.

A magician who contributed to the demise of the Marquis of Gadran, who disturbed the principality.

It was difficult to hear from Young after he wrote a letter of introduction to his junior, Ferne, in the Kingdom of Estria.

‘Well, of course.’

The Estyrian royal family strongly pursued the severance of information while engaging in material diplomacy with the principality.

Of course, you could dig into that niche if you wanted to, but there was no reason to go that far. There was no room for that.

As it is, the minimum information is accessible.

An undead avalanche occurred in the kingdom. And after the civil war, the coronation of the first prince was over. It was probably more crowded than the principality.

There must have been a lot of requests.

smart.

Then, someone knocked on the door.

After allowing entry, a man wearing a bandage appeared, one of Pale’s aides.

“What happened?”

“Pale. to you letter. go. came.”

“yes? A letter?”

Pale tilted her head and received the envelope.

A letter sealed with red wax. When I looked at the back, the sender in the name of ‘old junior’ was written at the bottom.

There was only one person who could write something like this.

‘It’s a handwriting I haven’t seen in a long time.’

I guess I’m doing fine.

Pale recalled the past and opened the seal.

[To Senior Pale.]

Address written on the outside of the letterhead.

It is a unique habit of Fernet that has not changed in the past.

With a small smile, Pale carefully opened the letter.

[Thank you for introducing Asher. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you—]

The text is densely packed.

Most of the contents are full of gratitude to the extent that you can feel goosebumps.

Pale, whose expression was hardened, blinked.

“What is this?”

* * *

There is a considerable distance to the Dominion of Midlos.

Also, the road was rough, and it was not safe at all due to the recent flood of sub-species. Moving by carriage without a proper escort is tantamount to leaving your life to chance.

Of course, Verden is not applicable.

It was possible to move to the sky without using a wagon, and even if a sub-species attacked, he had the ability to deal with it without a single wound.

‘But I can’t move alone.’

The forces in the Dominion of Midlos that were written in Robert’s information.

In order to use them to gather information, we need someone to prove Verden’s identity. It’s possible to do it alone, but it’s cumbersome in many ways and it’ll take a lot of time.

Which means you need a guide.

In addition to him, someone who could shorten the road to the Dominion.

Verden knows one suitable talent.

Not only that, but I’ve met him once before.

‘Cland, the dark merchant. No, it was a request from Sebas.’

When Count Fleischer was arrested by Calia.

It was a request to bring certain items from some of those who had fled, such as members of the Guild or noble knights.

I have a clear memory of receiving 400 million elk as compensation.

Eventually, we arrived at Smuggler’s Gulch.

The place closest to the border with the Dominion of Midlos in the north of the kingdom.

‘It’s the same as when I saw it before.’

It hasn’t been long since we entered winter, but perhaps because it’s a deep mountain range, the air is cooler than other places.

To ward off the cold, those wearing thick leather are standing guard.

Whoaaaaagh!

Verden lowered his altitude rapidly.

Ignoring the main gate, I landed right at the place where I entered the canyon entrance.

Confused eyes gathered at the sudden appearance, and soon all the smugglers aimed their weapons.

“Rain, emergency! Intruder, emergency!”

Verden raised his head.

Einver’s hood covering his head became light and disappeared.

“… … uh?”

The gray hair, the walls, and the appearance were reflected in countless views.

The people who saw him stopped moving at about the same time. I’ve seen it before, but it’s been a long time since rumors of it have also been heard.

Information about the mage who killed Grond and sat on the throne of Loapra. And about a new ruler who doesn’t want to be called a king.

“Is Bootleg Padrell inside?”

Verden asked quietly.

An indescribable presence calmed the air.

Originally, those who came to Smuggler’s Gorge without a promise were killed regardless of the reason.

It was for security reasons, but especially because Padreld, the leader of the canyon, hated uninvited guests.

It was a must-have custom in Smuggler’s Gulch.

But not now.

“Yes, Asher. You should be sleeping under the canyon by now. I will tell you to grab him by the collar right away and bring him.”

“You don’t have to. I go myself.”

“Ah, is that so? Then I will guide you right away.”

The mustachioed smuggler groaned.

The entrance to the canyon was open before anyone knew it, and the guards had already withdrawn their weapons. He just smiled and welcomed Verden.

Experts in smuggling between Dominions and Kingdoms without paying taxes. To them, nunchiran was a lifeline.
