The Magnificent Battle Records of A Former Noble Lady

The House of the Duke of Barratona is situated twenty minutes by carriage from the Royal Castle.

……

"Are you all right, Master Sirtina?

Tedra called out to Sirtina, who stood just faceless in front of the mansion holding the black cat clo.

"It's okay. Let's go."

"Yes."

At the end of the door was the servants alongside the slack.

"" "" Welcome home, Tedra-sama "" "

"Oh, I'm home."

The movements of the servants who heard Tedra's reply and raised their faces stop. Because I saw Sirtina next to Tedra.

"Everyone will be listening. Sirtina accompanies the Virgin on her journey of purification as an escort. We are going to take care of you at home until you travel. without the crude phase."

"Ah, uh..."

Even with Tedra's explanation, the servants looked at the two as if they were confused.

Of course, we heard that Sirtina, who accompanies us as the Virgin's escort, would stay at this Duke of Barratona house that we could send ourselves to. I also understood that she was the eldest daughter of the Duke's family until two years ago.

But they were stunned with the person in front of them. Because they were so different from the Sirtina (the lady) they knew...

She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, dressed in elegant clothing with an emphasis on ease of movement, with a sword raised on her hips. The hair, which was long and palpable, was cut short and has no former glow. The hand that was producing the beautiful embroidery is made of razor blade and sword dako and is rough. She was told that she was not a former Sirtina.

Should I say something that makes me happy to return home, or should I say something to my guests? In the midst of the confusion, they simply lost their words.

"My name is Sirtina, and I will be taking care of you at the Duke of Barratona's house for three days."

Sirtina opened her mouth instead of the unspoken servants.

The voice resonated well with Rin. That was... that was the only thing that we knew so well about, Lady Sirtina.

"Long time no see, Master Sirtina"

An old man advances out of the servants. It's the Deacon's harginal.

"Please let us know if there are any inconveniences during your stay. Let's put on a few samurai. For them."

"No. You don't need a samurai. You can do your own thing. Don't worry, we'll eat outside."

"But then, let's have a seat with some inconvenience."

"There is no inconvenience. I'm sorry, but I've decided to keep it with only those I can trust."

That was a definite rejection. She said she couldn't trust anyone in this house.

"……… Will you sit at the left? Now let me show you to your room. Come here."

Harginal, sadly lowered her eyes to Sirtina's words, walks out to guide her. Tedra caught Sirtina's arm trying to follow.

"Dear Sirtina, I am sorry, but the cat cannot be allowed in our house. My mother is allergic."

"…… yes, you were. Cro."

Sirtina calls to the black cat in her arms with her eyes narrowed just to miss Tedra's words for a moment. A black cat, drawn to her will, jumps out of its arms.

At that moment, the black cat instantly changed its appearance and became a long-lasting young man. Long black hair is tied loosely behind her, and her golden eyes of the same colour as when she was a cat hold a sharp light.

"……… Huh?

The thing that was a black cat laughed with his nose when he glanced at Tedra and the servants, whose thoughts had not kept up with what had just happened in front of him with a flashing face.

"Take a look, Silty. You can be so dumb with humans."

A fun laughing young man approaches Tedra.

"Second son of the Duke of Barratona family, am I a black cat who can't get into the mansion?

"... no, no. You are…………………………."

Tedra managed to answer the young man's question with a trembling voice as she peered in from above and gazed at Tedra.

"He is my demon."

"Yes. I follow his will and move only for him, the demon of his use. It's called" Kreutz. "

"Use, demon?

"What, you don't even have a demon in this country?

"There is no magic to summon a demon. It's the first time I've been in a guild."

"As far as it goes. Even more fragile among vulnerable people."

"I'm just lacking in magic. Then I want you to explain it to Tedra."

"The presence of the" demon of use "is about the summoned and the covenant made."

"Covenant?"

"The" wish "of the summoned person and the" wish "of the summoned person. It is a cooperative relationship between the summoned person and the summoned person to fulfill each" wish ". Put it plainly."

"Does Master Sirtina wish him anything, too?

"It is a violation to say anything else about the covenant exchanged between the user demon and his Lord. Our wishes are ours alone."

"… is that so? Um, he's not human, is he?

"Yep. He… they are residents of a different world from this one. In the kingdom of Lulan, they are called the Demons."

"Demons..."

"Okay, enough talking?

The servants, who were tired of it and were relieved of the rest of the events to Kreutz, who had just stretched out, finally moved out. It is the understanding of the servants of the Duke of Barratona to carry out their work without moving, no matter what happens in front of them. That's why we shouldn't just be stuck in surprises right now. Tedra and Harginal are equally motivated by servants whose earlier agitations have moved like lies.

"I'll show you to your room."

Sirtina, Tedra and Kreutz followed silently this time to the Harginal where they walked out again.

Uh-huh.

- I'm sorry.

"Sirtina, you..."

"Also, much more..."

"Sil......"

"Dear Sirtina……………"

……

Tedra was so upset that Sirtina, who was only supposed to have dinner with the faces of the Duke of Barratona's family, thought only that it smelled troublesome from the bottom of her heart to the reaction of those gathered there.

"I will take care of you for a few days from today, my name is Sirtina. Please, thank you."

Siltina still utters her words first.

"Ah, ah. Take your time. … by the way,"

Gardo Barratona, Duke of Barratona homeowner and father of Sirtina, turned his gaze to the sword being raised on the hips of Chirali and Sirtina.

"Please forgive my bandage at the dining room. Even if this is the place, letting go of this means exposing my life to death. Please forgive me."

Sirtina realizes Gardo's will and says so and lowers her head.

"I don't mind. I'm just a little concerned. And who's there?

I lowered my head and gave Sirtina forgiveness. Gard went on to gaze at Kreutz as he followed behind her.

"We're late to introduce you. He's Kreutz. He's with me."

"A squire or something?

"No. It's not such a thin connection. There is a deeper, stronger connection.... but that's right. If you're going to show up in the language of this country, the word" squire "might be appropriate."

"Subordinate…"

Eugene, who once served as Sirtina's squire, reacted to the word "squire".

"Can you trust that person?

"…… at least, more than you."

Sirtina answered Eugene's question with a slightly narrower eye with a flat voice. Eugene wasn't the only one who breathed in on it. Someone who was quiet as opposed to Eugene who obviously exposed his surprise, but did freeze his expression. Jildo Barratona, the eldest son of the Duke of Barratona family and once the brother of Sirtina, exhaled deeply to quell his own heart, rocking in agitation.

"Sil, you, aren't you willing to come back?

"Where the hell are you going back?

"Where, you..."

"My place to go now is where Kreutz and Alhardt are. I don't need anything else, and I don't want to go back to those who cut me off once."

"…… Are you not allowed to make amends?

"I don't want it"

"……… So why did you come back to this country again?

"Because you had a royal decree, you were listening to my conversation with the king."

Zildo asked Sirtina, who said that he was not willing to obey, whether it was his royal life or not, because he was on the spot as the next prime minister and had heard the words.

Why, once again, did you intend to step into the country that tormented you? There, what the hell is your intention?

"I just wanted to show it to you."

"Show it off? What?

"Two years ago, you abandoned Sirtina Barratona, who now possesses enough power to refuse even royal decrees of her own free will."

"Are you proud of yourself as a strong man?"

"It's not arrogance or anything. If I or Crowe or Al are serious about getting this country, this king's capital alone can drop it in less than three days. It would be quicker if we targeted only royalty and key nobles. For example, if Crowe and I tried to take your neck here now,"

Kim, and Sirtina play the coin upwards.

At that moment when the consciousness of Sirtina and those other than Chro turned for a moment on that coin, the disease ran through the room.

"Look, this is how it ends in an instant."

Zildo, whose movement is sealed by the magic of the wind, is poked with a knife around his neck by Sirtina on Tedra and Eugene. A sharp blade tip was also placed on Gard and his wife's neck by Kreutz.

"Did you understand?

"Ah, ah."

If Sirtina leaves the nodded Jildo, she returns to her side as if nothing had happened to Kreutz. If I had noticed, the magic that had been cast on Tedra and Eugene had also been solved.

"Right? You're not like me two years ago, are you?

Saying so and laughing, Sirtina's smile was, but certainly, hers.

Uh-huh.

- I'm sorry.

"Sirtina"

"………… What can I do for you, Duke?"

After dinner, it was former father and Duke of Barratona's owner Gardo Barratona who stopped calling Sirtina, who was about to return to the room he had been given.

"Are you really going to accompany the Virgin on her journey?

"Yes, I accepted the request, so..."

……

"Rest assured. Everything is going without delay. There will be some discrepancies, but nothing has changed my mind or what I do."

"…… well."

Quiet, Gardo exhales.

Two years ago, the people of this country did make a mistake. But it had already begun more than two years earlier, when a girl from another world came to this country, who became known as the Virgin. We started from the beginning. That's why I've been wrong since I was in the starting position.

That is why she is…………………

"What about Zildo and Tedra?

"We are at your disposal. They're not my brother or brother anymore."

"You really don't want to forgive me."

"... forgive, not forgive. I was betting, even if this were to happen before (...) measuring (...) and (...) (...). I believed it. I was hoping this wouldn't happen. But here's the result. I lost my bet and was betrayed by those who believed. You don't forgive, you don't forgive. I can't believe I'm in this country anymore, and I hate this country two years ago because I don't care about anyone but those who believed in me and moved."

"…… well."

"If you want to forgive them, I'm not going to disagree with them. Whatever you want. But there's nothing I can do for them."

Most of the people in this country are no longer included in her "loved ones". The people of this country have fallen far enough to let her say that she cared about this country more than anything else.

Without demons and filth, Gard thought to himself, "What is the law of doom in this country?"
