Unmotivated Hero's Tale

The imperial capital rend of the Kelm Empire.

At present, certain rumors are spreading in this capital with tremendous momentum.

Its astonishing rumors were not just about the general public, but about the situation that was causing even the nobility to spread, and it was therefore not surprising that it was also in the ears of the rigorous and famous Kelm military.

"Hey, did you hear that?

"I heard, I heard. You're talking about Lord Istarts."

Hickle, a young soldier belonging to the Imperial Defense Forces, nods back all the time knowing against his colleague Roomy.

"Oh, hey, they're getting engaged to our princess and banishing Clarice."

"I knew it was true! But marry that flower princess... honestly, I envy you."

Hickle Leomite, twenty-eight.

Although he is still single, he is rarely given a favorable gaze by the women of the Imperial capital because of his body and his stern face, which he was trained as a soldier. Let's just say it's more accurate to say it's a lot.

With him, however, there are countless high ridge flowers that are never within reach.

Yes, thank you all over the country, the flower princess thing Miriam von Kelm was exactly its epitome.

"I'm really jealous of our marriage... but more than that, now we don't have to fight that monster. As a soldier, to be honest, I'd like to thank you for that."

"Sure, you're right. Anyway, it seems that the battle the other day was actually planned by Lord Isterz with our soldier, the Crown Prince. Sounds like a big victory... but either way, I'm totally grateful to never have to fight someone like that again."

I agree with Roomy that Hickle agrees entirely with him.

Hickle and Roomy opinions seen here are by no means uncommon.

It was, of course, an indisputable fact that more than a certain number of layers still had complex feelings about Yui existed from the events of last year's devastating defeat in the battle against Clarice.

Yet last year's battle was only a war of aggression from the Empire, and this time a battle in which my country was invaded. Therefore, there was a steady increase in the number of soldiers in the army who showed a passive but favourable sentiment towards Yui, who supported the victory of the Empire in this battle.

Of course it was the fruit of the information manipulation by Rialto, and the result of the disproportionate footprinting of Yui's merits and personality over and above the actual image, but also the spreading of rumors.

"Instead of having to fight, you mean to be on our side, right? Now I know it's Kisletin, but it's Clarice, but I'm not scared anymore."

"Clarice's hero... no, the Western gods of the continent are joining our army. Does this mean that the time has come for our Kerm to unite the West and finally launch into the central part of the continent?

Hickle dares to rephrase the term Clarice's hero to say the path that the future empire will take.

"Oh, that's a lot of potential. That and this will only be done if Lord Isterz is brought in. But...... is this still with His Majesty's help?

"Well, there's a chance Lord Isterz might have wished for himself in love with Master Miriam... let's stop. This story isn't good here."

Hickle, who realizes that the content of the story has moved in a dangerous direction, lowers his voice and stops speaking when he slightly distorts his expression.

Meanwhile, after letting his gaze dictate as he explored his surroundings, Roomy turned to him again to cast his own doubts, with a voice to the extent that it could only be heard by Hickle.

"Sorry, I heard something weird. But honestly, don't you think so?

"Oh, I think so, too. That would mean our Majesty. Even the heroic Istarts are only one of the pawns."

They think of the beloved and fearful emperor, and the two shake their bodies slightly. And when they retightened their expressions, they walked away from the spot to work around again.

White ceiling in front of me.

Moving her right arm, which is slightly less powerful, Yui realizes that she is in reality rather than in her dreams.

"How are you feeling waking up, Mr. Yui?

A young man's voice still speaks toward Yui in a blurry state of thought.

Yui slowly woke up her heavy upper body and turned her gaze toward the Lord she had been speaking to.

"Fernando...? Wouldn't that be so bad? I didn't get sick this time."

"Ha, that's more than anything..."

In response to Yui, who said nothing about the events that struck him, Fernando spewed out his words as if he were frightened with his hands on his forehead.

But with no wind to worry about his tricks like that, Yui opened his mouth to him.

"So, how long has it been?

"It's been ten days since that battle."

"Ten days...? My body is heavy with a scratch. Well, at a reasonable price."

So whining Yui scratched his head with a bitter laugh, slowly moving his right arm as the force struggled to get in.

Meanwhile, having heard that voice, Fernando shook his neck around a few degrees, pointing his mouth as if to protest at him immediately.

"You make it easy for me to say it's reasonable. While Yui was lying down, the situation around her had changed dramatically. I also used my nerves to hide your information, and if you really want to keep telling me all about stupidity, it'll take three days and three nights."

"Hmm... has the emperor moved?

Hearing Yui speak, Fernando opens his eyes with surprise.

But the person in front of him had two problems. What a thought. He told him in a somewhat tired voice the two problems currently arising.

"Yep... the engagement to the Crown Princess and the declaration of expulsion of Clarice from the House of Lords. Each story has a different origin, but it's probably the story that came out of the emperor's head."

Those two events emanating from Fernando's mouth.

Yui chews it slowly and smiles slightly.

"That's still a story against me... I guess"

"Who else is there? The text of the declaration of expulsion has not yet reached the embassy, nor is it a story passed down from the official route with regard to the engagement. But already, as definitive information, rumors have spread not only to the Empire, but also to the surrounding countries."

"That's right, that old man is a fast hitter. While I was unable to move, I was able to partially leak the information and bury the outer moat… It is regrettable that I met him when this happens. That was the only thing completely out of the math."

Unable to understand the subject of the word he uttered, Fernando puts the color of doubt on his face.

"Him? Who the hell are you talking about?

"Oh, it's about a little nasty magician in Filament. Anyway, the situation doesn't seem pretty fragrant. Whatever my engagement story is, I think there's something in the House of Lords that connects you to the Empire."

"Yeah, of course the Empire hasn't told me who it is. But from what I usually say and do, I wonder if Under-Secretary Rabe of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is."

Fernando speaks abominably of Rebbe, Yui's predecessor's Imperial ambassador.

"I see, Under-Secretary Rabe...? That sounds like a possible candidate. That's very convincing of you to say that you led the House of Lords, while also being connected to the Empire."

Fernando unwittingly laughs at the sarcastic allegations from Yui. And once I shrugged my shoulders, I turned straight to Yui and expressed my doubts.

"Perhaps the true purpose of this battle between Empire and Filament was part of an operation to detach Mr. Yui from Clarice"

"They say I underestimate myself, but I'm still nowhere near the talent I want to get that far. I think it's just that I took advantage of the situation. I don't know if you're willing to use everything you can under any circumstance, but that old man...

Once he shakes his head to the left and right, Yui tells him so as he drops his shoulder.

Meanwhile, having received such Yui's words, Fernando, once he swallowed the noose, uttered one question.

"So Yui...... what the hell are you going to do after you could have predicted so much thought?

"If you can, I'd like to go back to Clarice and relax. But when I go back now, instead of relaxing, it definitely becomes a spark. Royalty and the House of Lords. And if you do poorly, that will be a dressed intervention material for the Empire. Helping your fiancée, for example... what a pretext. Anyway, they should be getting confused and intervening in Clarice's civil conflict. Because there's no more filament in their eyes, and the Republic is still in the middle of the inner circle."

"Sure, it could be."

Hearing Yui's prediction, Fernando pulls his cheeks slightly. And even as I tried to keep my mouth open, I swallowed the words once I hesitated.

"Fernando, what do you want me to do? I think I have something to say."

Yui, who noticed Fernando's trick like he said something, urges words toward him.

Fernando then exhaled loudly once, and turned his strong gaze to Yui as if he had decided to be ready.

"Yui, it's hard to say after figuring out the thoughts of the Empire...... now is the time to fight the House of Lords? To be honest, there's no reason to keep them more bulky."

"As I said earlier, that action could only benefit the Empire. You think that's okay?

"Of course, I don't think that's desirable. But more than that, I can't forgive the House of Lords. Crushing the House of Lords and rescuing my sister is my greatest hope. And I can't keep my sister in their hands any longer. That's all."

In a strong tone sometime, and with a strong will, Fernando tells Yui so.

Once Yui sighed loudly when he noticed the words of Fernando and the strong light and darkness that dwelled in his eyes. And I scratched my head and opened my mouth.

"... I know how you feel. Yeah, I'll take care of your problem. So don't worry."

"Do something... What the hell are you going to do?

Unexpectedly Fernando is bewildered by Yui's words as if they were cheap contracts.

But when he turned to him like that and had one gentle grin, Yui slowly opened his mouth.

"Yeah. I can't say for sure yet...... But it's okay, don't worry. I'll take care of your sister then."

Yui says so softly, as if it were nothing.

To the words of Yui, Fernando was perplexed and the words did not appear.

Meanwhile, Yui, who said he would do something about it lightly, would already take his thoughts to the next level and turn his thoughts again to the man who created this situation.

"But looking back at this assignment to the Empire, you're saying that you really kept being danced in the palm of that old man. I used to meet people who were just monsters... but the world is still huge."

"Yui......?

Suddenly, he heads to Yui, who grunts to himself, and Fernando speaks out in horror.

Yui then quickly regained his bitter grin and turned to Fernando.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Still awake, a little blurry in the head."

"Well, you did. I'm sorry, I'm sick, but I can't."

No, I don't mind.

Heading to Fernando, who fears, Yui grins with a grin.

Fernando felt unspeakably uncomfortable with Yui's reaction, which was too refreshing. But he can't language that discomfort well and has no choice but to change the spearhead of the topic slightly.

"With that said, it looks like Mr. Lute will be here from Wang Du about tomorrow. It's about that one, so you'll be more worried about Yui than anyone else, and rest as well as you can today."

"Lute?... well, there was just one case of Remliak, and this was felt"

"Could it be about access to the world of examples?

With Yui with a slight glance on his face, Fernando asks with a slight sharpening of his gaze.

"Well...... right. Don't get mad at him for this because he promised not to use it. But at this point, okay... so what's with Alex's guy?

"Mr. Alex is on his way to the southern part of the Empire as an intermediary in negotiations between Filament and the Empire on behalf of Mr. Yui. If things go well, I hear you'll be home tomorrow or the day after..."

"Heh, well. Alex is early and tomorrow... that's settled."

Hearing that Fernando answer, Yui nods one thing.

But Fernando, who failed to understand the meaning of that uttered word of Yui, asked him as it was.

"Um, what's the decision?

"It's no big deal. More than that, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm going to have to ask you and Alex to represent the ambassador for a while now. I don't think I'll be able to use it for a while."

Shuffling his shoulders, Yui asked Fernando to do so.

Fernando cares about Yui's health and urges him to rest, even though he feels unspeakably hooked about the reaction.

"Yep... Yep. Well, I don't know what else to do because I've just been woken up...... anyway, take a rest today. If they settle down again tomorrow, I'll ask."

"Oh. Thank you, Fernando. Again..."

Yui laughed at Fernando when he said so.

With that grin in his eyes, Fernando feels unspeakably uncomfortable. Now Yui's grin in front of him was because he felt that something was decidedly different from what he had seen before.

But he is convinced that he cannot find the reason from among himself and that it is of the sick and the dead. And left the room intact to avoid any further burdens on Yui.

That's how the room left Yui deserted.

In that room, where no one is supposed to be, Yui turns to the void and utters words.

"So what about the tail, Kreha?"

"I just got there in time. Thanks to someone who was going to help me in the final stages of the plan, who kept me fully asleep"

"Ha, it's not honorable. Their presence was completely out of the math, just to deal with the emperor's political and filament strategy opponents at the same time."

Yui grins bitterly to delude herself as she scratches her head.

Then towards him like that, Kreha gave him a sharp glance.

"Is that true? Maybe you knew they existed before. And that's why you pushed this job on me. To keep me away from them."

"... that's not true. Exactly, if you knew they were getting inside the filament, you'd have taken another stand from the start. I didn't want to expose myself to this kind of ugliness if I could."

With a weak grin, Yui denies Kreha's suspicions.

"Ugly...... right. If it's true, I'd like to keep you here. I'll arrive here tomorrow to stick you out."

"Ha, can you skin it? At this age, it's just as good to be preached straight from the front."

"Don't get me wrong. He's not the only one angry. Neither do I."

Usually she keeps killing the signs, turning her quiet anger to Yui.

"... sorry. You're worried, Kreha."

"You always do. When you apologize to me, after everything. You've been cornered enough to have to use it until then, so I can understand that it was unexpected. But it's not him with silver hair, but stop being such an impotent person already, right? And the next time you're impotent, tell me first."

Having learned all about Yui's character because of his long relationship, Kreha proposes so to the man in front of him only with the compromise proposal.

But Yui, with slight hesitation, clearly informed her of his thoughts.

"I won't make any promises. Because obvious lies are too dishonest. But... I'll do my best not to. Will you forgive me around here?

"Ha... thank God the person you ask is me. Your mother would have strangled you the moment she said such a joke."

From the beginning she understood that the opinions of the stubborn in front of her, who loves laziness more than anyone else, could never be changed.

So all the whispering resistance, and Cleha dares speak of a human name equal to the Achilles tendon for him.

"To be you... no, that doesn't matter, I'm always grateful to you. Previously and always will be."

Slightly out of sight, slightly toppling and subtracting, Yui replies so.

With such eyes on him, Kreha opened his mouth once. But with slight hesitation, she exhales one sigh.

"Ha... well fine. It's over, I don't have any more time. So what's your next move, hero?"

"On schedule, of course."

"Okay, then get ready immediately. I'm not talking about that earlier, but if he and he really get here, it's a lot of trouble, right?

That's what Kreha tells Yui, darkly indicating about the silver-haired and red-haired youth.

Yui then shook his head vertically without getting lost.

"Right. The next time I look at each other, I'm scared, but now I don't have time. Plus, I've got one more job to do."

"Work?"

In response to Kreha with a slightly narrowed and suspicious look, Yui spoke of her promise to the young man who had just left this room.

"Oh. Rescue one girl for a cute goddaughter"

"... you'll have more trouble."

"I hate to make promises I can't make, but what I promised is a doctrine of keeping. Either way, I was gonna stop by Ertbourg. To see your stepfather."

"Yes... then say hello from your mouth"

To that word of Kreha, Yui moves her eyebrows pickly. And as I checked, I asked her.

"Aren't you going to see me?

"There's a pile of work that someone pushed me to do. I also need to make adjustments with Clary, who has Wang Du heading ahead, and I can't afford to be moving with you all the time. And this is because someone was asleep earlier."

Sharpen a novel against Yui, and Kreha speaks so.

Then Yui scratched his head with sorrow and opened his slightly heavier mouth.

"Sorry...... and thanks, Kreha"

"... Fine. I never break my vows. Until the day you stopped needing me."

Feeling Kreha's gaze around his forehead, Yui smiles as slightly illuminated. And he squeezed his expression after he snorted one.

"Then shall we walk out of the board as planned? Yes, the Emperor Rialto built it, and it's already packed."

"I know. That's why I prepared it."

Yui nodded one against Kreha's gavel.

And he makes a clear declaration toward those who are not on the spot.

"Next time let me hit the cloth stone first. A rosy future where you can just take a nap every day without worrying about what's around you. To grab it with this hand..."
