He raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky.

——One day, I will tear up the starry sky full of anti-armor.

"Pfft, haha." Thinking of a funny stalk, Cao Shurui laughed softly.

"I didn't expect that one day I would become a knight. But then again, the hero I loaded is Saber, so it is very suitable to become a knight."

"However, I don't like war at all. If I didn't do this, I couldn't survive, become stronger, complete the mission, or let me meet Ellen and the others, I would have found a peaceful place to live for a long time."

"Oh, it's scary to get used to this kind of thing. When did I get used to killing people? Besides, I didn't think of them as human beings at all. When I killed them, I wasn't worried about my companions. Anwei is just thinking about gold coins and power. Am I not normal?"

Cao Shurui wrapped his arms around his body.He lowered his head.The wind that shouldn't have made him feel cold was so biting at this time.

"Hey!" With a slightly rude voice, a knife slashed Cao Shurui's head.

"I just said why your state is not right these days. You were thinking about this kind of thing."

Allen's voice came from behind Cao Shurui.Immediately afterwards, a warm embrace brought Cao Shurui into it.

Allen hugged Cao Shurui from behind.

"You think too much, and you are wrong. When I was a mercenary at first, I often had nightmares at night. The tragic situation of those who were killed by my own hands was repeated over and over again. Later I realized that this Everything is for survival. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. There is no right or wrong in the battlefield. Only survival is important. Just have a clear conscience."

"Is my mentality still a normal person?" Cao Shurui's voice trembled.

"Haha, can you ask such a question and still don't know the answer?"

"...Thank you, Ellen."

There was no more sound, the two just hugged, silent.

After that, nothing pleasant happened.Seeing that Cao Shurui seemed to have figured it out, and the whole person was much more cheerful, Allen took him back to the city.

However, they were not able to rest immediately.Because of the surprising news.

"There's a report from the scout who just came back from Lutetia. Alutesm is on fire and it's all burnt out."

Cao Shurui and Allen couldn't understand what the soldier meant when they heard the news.After a few breaths, they finally understood, and Alan stood there dumbfounded.

Beside her, Cao Shurui, who heard about the Burning City incident of the same era for the first time in his life, was furious in his chest.

"Envoy, is that so?"

Sophia made a questioning expression with her knees bent, and tilted her head in wonder.

She is a war princess who has the title of "The Shining Yaoji".Although she is a young girl in her twenties, she is also the third elder among the war princesses.

This is Hilasi, the capital of the Kingdom of Gistat.The audience room inside the palace.Sophie knelt down on the red carpet that stretched to the throne, looking at the old man sitting on the throne.Now there are only Sophie and the old man in the audience room.

"That's right. Although you've only been to Brunet at the end of autumn."

The old man was King Victor of Gistato.The gray hair and beard are not without style, but the black complexion and the lifeless eyes in the blue eyes are even more impressive.

The hand he stretched out from his luxurious silk clothes was as if nothing but bone and skin.

"After the invasion of the Muorginel army, the situation of Brunei changed again. Besides, it has been almost half a year since Eleonora Wiltalia started the war. If the goal is almost achieved, it will be better, if it is extended. You have to bring her back."

As far as which way it is concerned, Ellen is the main reason.But that's not surprising.

Silently thinking so in her heart, Sophie admitted the legitimacy of the king's idea.

Even if the affairs of the principality are handed over to someone who can be trusted, it is really not good that the war princess has not been in the principality for half a year.

It may be a good time for the king to weaken the strength of the war princess, but he still wants to avoid bad influence on the whole country of Gistat.

"Your Majesty's concern, on behalf of Zhan Ji who is not here, I would like to express my gratitude. However, regarding Eleonora, Lyudmila Laurie has already served as an inspector. Considering the relationship between the two, I think I am stupid. Leonora won't do anything reckless either."

Ellen and Mila's bad relationship is also well known in the palace.So Sophie was surprised that she was suddenly summoned by the king to say these things.

"You're right, the relationship between the two is not good."

The old king's voice, like the dead wood rubbing against it, carried some obscure feelings.

"That's why it's possible to have information that I haven't heard of. About this, Sophia. I've heard that you and Eleonora have a good relationship. And you've only been to Brunet the other day. So I've decided to appoint you."

"I understand your appointment."

Since it was an order, Sophie couldn't say anything else.With her head down, she pondered the king's intentions.

——Are you taking advantage of the fact that Ellen and Mira have a bad relationship to fight back?

The reason for appointing Sophie was the same as the King had said.It was also true that she had just been to Brunet as a special envoy.

Of course, there are still diplomats specialized in Brunei Kingdom, but the existence of the war princess, who is second only to the king, cannot be ignored even by opponents, so as a special envoy, it is more effective than others.

Out of the audience room and strolling down the hallway, Sophie was lost in thought.

——Your Majesty, he intends to interrupt the post-war process under the pretext of my friendly relationship with Ellen.

This is not uncommon.This kind of thing is not only the king of Victor, but also very common among the kings of all dynasties.

There are kings who actively weaken Zhan Ji's power, and there are kings who will never cross the line even though they are very confident.

——But His Majesty Victor must be the former.
