Fly the Flag of Fire!

"So the Imperial Army isn't attacking you anymore? You're gone, aren't you?

There is desperation and naivety in a trembling voice. Though the power of the shingling finger is strong enough to devour, its posture is as anxious and weak as that of a toddler. In his big eyes, he flows from by his tears. The white eye area is congested, and the neighborhood under my eyes is thick. My lips are rough too.

"Are you okay now? You don't have to get out of here, do you? Topias, are you?

"That's right. Eleonora, it's okay now. The king is safe."

"Oh...... oh! Ahhh!"

This woman also shows passion for the way she represents relief...... The man called Topias was responding to it with a smile, as usual. With his head as a pom, he strokes his back. Take your time and repeat it.

Topias. That is the name of the brave man who once fought for the Kingdom of Asuria. He led the Knights of the Holy Grail to defeat the Imperial Army, led the royal nobility and was taken over by the Imperial Army, and became a legend. He said he was formerly a simple young man living in the southern realm of the kingdom. You think he was an ordinary person who didn't have the ability to do this in particular?

Now, living in the name of Topias, he has no face with such a brave man. He was a holy knight at the time, but remained on the island of the Holy Grail for his defensive mission, without the opportunity to fight under the command of the brave. I have no desire to rejoice or spare it, but I think I would have liked to have seen it happen. It is a matter of efficiency in carrying out my duties as King and Mate. Although it is not necessary to become a person named Topias, effective words, behaviors, methods, etc. are not difficult because of reference examples.

"Why... why does the Empire always do terrible things?

While his face lay low, he could see his next emotion boiling. He... while Topias observes, he waits. It is the basic policy of the mandate to always be passive. It would consequently ignore many of the good things that the Church preaches and recommends to people. But Xiaoshan is worthless before Daishun.

"If it's war, I wish it was just the usual way...... get on with it right away!

War gives rise to the death of a general, one death gives rise to many sorrows, grief reduces productivity. The decline in productivity is a loss to humanity independent of the framework of the country. It has to be paid for within reason and calculation. So the church teaches. How to relieve grief and… a moderate amount of death.

"Always make me feel scared... what resentment do you have?

Fear and anger if infringed. That's natural. But there is such a thing as scale. Instead of being angry as the head of the kingdom, I am not even angry as the mother of my two children, but only as long as I have the anxiety and anger for them. Even though the Church preaches to couples the happiness of having and raising children.

Topias thought of the catastrophe of the Peterius territorial capital. How much bloodshed does that scroll, left in the paperwork room and uncut, say letters and numbers to complain about? Perhaps it would be better to show Eleonora in red area and volume at first... I think so, and reflect on delusions beyond my job title in my brain. Assuming something does that, Topias is in a position to dispose of it and cover it up.

"Say something stupid about the brave man and me, knowing nothing...!

The provocations that have become the culmination of a massive meeting have developed into disturbances beyond the control of the Church. Uncle Kalisalmi also got a valve. Oh, and prepared, and incited... if they create an unusual torrent, the influence of the Church cannot be truly demonstrated either. He first saw his boss, Bishop Beck, panic.

But...... and Topias wonders. This woman named Eleonora doesn't want you to fight like a brave man, even though she calls the holy knight prepared as a king's mate by the name of a brave man. Whether he says so or not, he plans to say no easily.

Or maybe the brave didn't want to fight either. As for him, who now lives called Topias, he also gives his thoughts to the psychology of the former Topias. I wonder what you were going to fight for.

"How can the Church not punish the Empire? It's a punishing country, isn't it? Hey?"

"I wish everyone was as confident as Eleonora, but it's not. In this country, in that country, the Church is always preaching hard. It's gonna take a while."

"Yes... you do... even though it would be early if all the fools died... Topias is sweet, so you say that..."

"I can wait for you. Eleonora is sweet. That's great. You're very hurt."

Make them say what they want to say. Sweetly whisper what you'll want to hear. wrapped in immaterial warmth. It exfoliates the skeleton and dissolves in the melt. It was the usual thing.

"... yes, it's always hurting me. Nobody, he, don't get it, expose your incompetence... make me feel so scared...!

Come on, it bursts. Topias associated himself with how a boiled pot could blow zero. This series of battles was only exciting for Eleonora. Topias feels like the past where Bishop Beck provoked passion and let it spit out was a long time ago. I have to handle it well. Because I plan to use it a little longer.

"That man... what is he doing now that I gave him soldiers...!

"Uncle Kalisalumi said he killed him."

"Yes, yes... yes I did... incompetence...!

One street of information is given to Eleonora through Topias. The report is up the mountain, and Marquis Uliharsilla has appeared to mention it more than once, because Eleonora rejects both of them. The former is usual, but clashes backwards and forwards to large-scale meetings about the latter are pulling back.

The formation of a large army of 120,000 led by Uncle Kalisalmi... Marquis Yuriharsilla was against it until the end. There wasn't enough material to convince the surroundings, and somehow Eleonora ordered them to leave with power, so there was no opposition or anything, but Marquis Uliharsilla even returned his umbrella Knights of the Sword Horn from the front line. It was an act of stepping in.

And that leads to seeing unexpected sights, even as topias. Marquis Uliharsilla and Bishop Beck had a discussion of knee-packing. To the best of Topias' knowledge, there was an odd sense of distance between the two, though not contentious, as if they wanted non-interference with each other. Those two were in an upset palace, meeting as if they had attracted, and seriously discussing something. Topias hasn't heard anything about it.

"The dragon blew the fire, that's fine... that may be the case, but that's fine... that's not...!

Eleonora raised her hair in frustration. Apparently, the new myth didn't bother her her. Topias felt it as he spoke. The guardian dragon of the kingdom...... it is a magnificent story, but there is a lack of elements that fascinate her. It's Topias' job to make it up to you.

Something in the legend of the brave and not in the legend of the guardian dragon... that's sweetness. While the former unconditionally admitted Eleonora as the protagonist of the tragedy and intoxicated, the latter's duties and history as an exchanger were strictly contents to accompany. Naturally, it is a story intertwined with the Great Flag of the Ascension Dragon, which is a symbol of national authority. It would have been a fantasy and useful safeguarding its authority for those who live as kings, but it would have been close to a novel if it had been for her.

"... there was a boy who fought until he fell for the kingdom. Right?

If Softly Topias told him, Eleonora, who was showing restless behavior, stopped Pitali and his movements. Asking gaze...... some heat is shaking in those eyes.

"Have you ever heard of a child who used to be a loyalist to the border? See, he's the one who said he crossed the plain and attacked the Empire's fortress. Eleonora praised you, didn't she?

Gritty and eyeballs moved and she seemed to revive that memory. Understanding manifested itself as a full smile.

"Oh... you fought for me, that kid, right? I thought you said Marco."

Topias let him snort with a smile. If that's how she understood it, it's an unmistakable reality in her. I don't mind if the truth is in a different place. Even if the boy is the one who takes his name to the SS of the Third Princess Paulina, there is nothing wrong with that, even if the battle merit is the result of Eleonora's plot to destroy the SS. She has no connection to such crowds as sorry and hindsight.

Eleonora believes as she deserves. To be faithful to the kingdom is to devote oneself to being at the top of the kingdom. There's no way it's not. To discuss the Imperial Army as a Royal Army is, in other words, to grieve and hurt oneself. It can't be. There seems to be some rejection only about the SS, which bears the name of the abominable third princess, but there were circumstances in which, when it came to a boy named Marco, she would be allowed to misrepresent him.

When he shows remarkable work, he is not fighting in the SS. Whether entering the fort or in this battle, they are both acting together with the cavalry known as the "Fire". In the former there was still a cavalry in the name of SS, but as for the latter, it acts as an almost independent army. It is an urgent measure, but while attached to SS as a separate army... I fought as a "special courageous army" if by the name created by the army. The structure is also aesthetic. Because during the crisis in the kingdom, a group of well-known mercenaries stood up in response to the call of a loyal boy.

The flag permitted to be flown is a special flag with a black cross in red.

"Fire Gauge War Flag" where the soldiers call it.

The Marco boy stood at the head of the army with his thin hand, holding that flag, which had come to be called so because it had been raised during the flames of the Imperial Army large convoy, indicating that the king had temporarily delegated his command during the current crisis. It was proposed by Marquis Uliharsilla. As a matter of fact, it would have been a symbol of a steep field to bring together the great armies from 40,000.

It was a proposal. Topias was impressed, too. The Marco boy was widely hustled for his loyalty to the royal family as a beauty story, and his martial arts as a horseman of “fire” are praised as his personal patriotic act. It is more suitable than any other Uliharsilla sign fearing the division of the kingdom, and would be a promotion to the right place in times of crisis.

And the promotion rang out to the continent with more shock than expected. There is still that after-effect, and poetry about the Marco boy is broiled in the population. Topias was grumbling again.

Fly, Flame Flag. And don't argue, dragon of aggression.

Continue with him. He is the victory. Join the march of fire that opens the way to glory.

The name of those who breathe flames is Marco. He who is at your head and refuses to do so.

It's a marching song, that's it. There is a place that moves vigorously and produces pneumonia in the hearts of those who mumble. The creator is unknown, but Topias doesn't think that was made by any other than the military. Was there one of the generals who participated in the meeting who was fond of poetry, or was it organized by the army to make it for the exaltation of war?

Either way, this poem will continue to resonate widely in the still unhealed kingdom of chaos. It will heat people's hearts. The aftermath is also excessive heat. It takes time for that to cool down. It's where Topias and the other churches work.

"Did he win? Did he take the lead like a brave man? The emperor was coming, wasn't he? Then someone needs to step forward... he's the one who broke the emperor and let him escape? That's what war is, isn't it?

Eleonora comes word after word. Sharp in a strange place...... Topias thought so, but looking at the color of Eleonora's eyes, he found that to be a misunderstanding. Fix the perception behind a smile. The statement in this way only showed a coincidental similarity between an amateur's casual remark and an exceptional view.

She wants clarity. It's also a little different from how the masses make their minds jump on poetry, and they're looking for stronger intoxication. I want my will to be fulfilled. I expect to join a new legend. Topias left it to nature and the grin to deepen.

"Right. He seems to have worked hard as a representative of the Royal Army. Eleonora's right."

"I knew it! That would be great. That's so wonderful!

Laughing like a girl, clapping her hands, Eleonora asks.

"Isn't he a brave man?

I'm not sanctified.

"Shouldn't he be a brave man?

"Because it's what God dictates. People can't decide."

"I think so... Yeah, I think so... the brave ones are special..."

Looks like Eleonora is trying to find something with her gaze right and left as she wanders. Topias wonders if that must be a landing spot. Some fantasies exist in her as if they were even real, but they seem disastrous and quite associated and orderly.

So, Topias whispers. To create what she wants, in a way convenient to the Church.

"You're not a brave man, but you must be a hero. That's a special hero, too. I would have helped you, wouldn't I?

"Yes, it is. He's a hero who helps me. That's very important. There's a hero for me and a knighthood for me. Not just in the Knights. I'd really rather have the Brave Men and the Holy Grail Knights..."

Topias shook his neck to the side, regrettably, against the gaze he was directed to confirm.

"... then I'll make it. For me... for this country, special..."

Eleonora's gaze fell there with a potpourri, and its focus was as if it didn't fit. Are you tired, or are you turning your thoughts around with the new Knights… Either way, the spiralling destinations of the passion fit within your assumptions and are likely to calm down. Consciousness guidance seems to have succeeded.

Topias kept an eye on the frightened beauty... of his work.

I didn't feel bored. This doll only rings well for the difficulty of harmony. The squeal reaches all over the country. It is an indispensable tool for the Church to implement the Great Good in the world. If it is well maintained, it is old enough to be used for a long time.

For the next decade...... Topias laughs calmly. I had no regrets.
