Wortenia Senki

Many nobles and knights fall on the floor during the interrogation, turning into unspeakable bodies.

And those whose necks have been cut open, and whose hearts have been cut open. Some people have had their heads crushed like pomegranates and their brains spilled out.

And the factors are different, but the results are all the same.

Speaking of the living, is it as good as Ryomasa Mikoshi, the mastermind of this tragedy, and the people of Igazaki, who were transforming into guards?

Meanwhile, a rough breath echoes in the hall.

It came from the mouth of Queen Lupis, the highest living human being in the hall.

Perhaps he was frustrated by the violent storm unfolding in front of him.

Even if you hold Mertina's arm close by and don't let go, you can easily see it in your heart.

(Well, even though you're a princess general, you don't really know the fear of the battlefield... on the contrary, you can say that you're calm without running away or screaming in vain...)

Of course, Ryo is not going to take care of a woman named Lupis Roselianus here.

However, it is only convenient on the bright and true side.

Normally, there would be no reason not to kill Queen Lupis on this occasion, unless Ryo had so flashly demonstrated her rebellious will against the Kingdom of Roselia.

Ryogen-kun Okoshiba is a fair person in both good and bad ways.

Basically, there is no mercy or forgiveness for a person who has stripped himself of his teeth.

And Queen Lupis and Meltina understand that.

Naturally, they are in danger of their lives.

Nevertheless, they do not try to escape, nor do they look like they blame Bright True.

It is a truly unexpected act, even if it is bright.

At least, if it was Meltina Lecter, who knew Ryo True, there was no wonder that she had pulled out the sword and cut Ryo True.

Even if Mertina herself understands that it is a dangerous act that could endanger her master, Queen Lupis.

Even if I chose wisdom to avoid the danger, I would curse Bright Truth.

(Does it mean you won't waste it... you've grown a little bit...? Or....)

Such thoughts shine through your true brain for a moment.

Nevertheless, there was really no time for Ryo to question that now.

"Well... I've finished cleaning up the garbage, and I think it's time... for you to have some time. In that state, I don't think you can say that you have a gentle conversation with me anymore..."

Such words came out of the bright and true mouth wrapped around the Wanni chain in the right hand.

And I bowed deeply to Queen Lupis, who still shakes his body sitting in the chair.

The work is a perfect example of nobility.

And slowly raised his face, he smiled provocatively.

I look forward to seeing you again, Your Majesty.

Although perfect as court practice, the intent hidden behind the words speaks eloquently of a declaration of war above all else.

In other words, I told Queen Lupis that I wanted to make a spear on the battlefield.

And Ryo turned her heel and turned her foot toward the hall door.

The faces of the Igazaki crowd dressed as guards followed like shadows.

It was also a sight to be said of the new reign.

Queen Lupis and Mertina leave their backs silent.

Queen Rupis would have been filled with the desire to leave as soon as possible.

After seeing Bright True and the guards disappear into the back of the door, she relieved the tension and breathed deeply from her mouth.

Mertina embraces such a master with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty... please rest assured..."

"Meltina... I'm sorry..."

The eyes of Queen Rupis, looking up like that, were filled with tears.

It's not just a relief that you've put your life at risk or escaped the crisis.

The essence of the tears is guilt.

It would be an atonement for the fact that Mertina put herself and Mertina's life in jeopardy by putting herself through her own self, despite Mertina's advice that she should not be here today.

Meltina slowly shook her head against Queen Lupis.

"No, Your Majesty. There's nothing to worry about."

"But... the Marquises of Halsion, my allies..."

Queen Lupis snapped as she watched a pile of bodies lying around.

In fact, Queen Rupis is right.

After all, the members of the House of Lords, one of the most powerful factions known as the aristocracy, died.

Of course, it wasn't Queen Lupis, but it was definitely a powerful ally in this case.

If that ally were dead, it would be natural to worry about the future.

But Meltina smiles.

In fact, for Mertina, there's no need to panic.

"Indeed, the death of Marquis Hulsion is painful. However, the nobles who have not made the flag clear before in this riot will also recruit more rebellion against the man. Of course, some of it will happen to that man... but I'm sure I'll buy more disgust. In other words, under His Majesty and that man, the forces in the Kingdom of Roselia have been completely divided."

"Well then... more than the civil unrest ahead..."

Mertina nodded deeply at the words.

"Yes... perhaps, but eventually it will not compare with the previous civil unrest... or the war that threatened the survival of this Roserian kingdom..."

The words drew blood from the face of Queen Lupis.

If the war breaks out, the country will be devastated and the people will undoubtedly moan at the scourge of war.

But the reaction of Queen Lupis had already been expected of Mertina.

"Don't worry. No, on the contrary, this is a great opportunity for you to take the lead."

Not knowing the meaning of the word, Queen Rupis leaned her neck.

"Return to the Royal Palace as soon as possible and declare the man a traitor. Immediately afterwards, we will fly into the country and form an expeditionary army to crush the rebels."

"I mean... you want me to start with you? I wonder if it's in the math that we move like that because we're talking about that guy?

"Yes, but now we can turn our backs on the will of the nobles and the man. The disappearance of the noble towns should make it easier for you to take the lead, at least as it is now."

Queen Lupis loses her word.

"You... I can't believe this is happening..."

Behind his gaze were the bodies of the Marquises of Halcion, who fell on the floor.

What comes to mind in that eye is the color of blame.

It is true that Queen Lupis is in a leadership struggle with the nobles, but it is fair to say that she has entered into an alliance, albeit tentative, on this matter.

It would be difficult to tolerate Queen Rupis personally if the death of that fellow had been counted from the beginning.

However, the person to whom the accusation was directed was calm.

"No, that's not possible."

That said, Mertina categorically denied Queen Rupis' query.

But the dark smile of Mertina for a moment is the answer to all of this.

Without further words, Queen Lupis loses her words.

Sure enough, I could understand that Mertina was right.

Because the presence of nobles in the kingdom prevented Lupis Roselianus from truly ruling the country.

Even with a victory in the previous civil unrest and a crown over it, its essence would be closer to those responsible for or managing subordinates who struggle to control them than a dictator named King.

In that sense, it is by no means a bad thing that vested interests who have despised Queen Rupis have disappeared.

It will be difficult to steer the mad aristocrats who want vengeance, but at least until they conquer the Waltenia Peninsula, the aristocracy's consciousness should be directed toward Ryo Okoshiba.

I'm sure it's true, and it's not a bad decision.

But it's too selfish and full of calculations.

At least it wasn't the word of a woman named Mertina Lecter that Queen Rupis knew.

And as far as Queen Rupis knows, Mertina has no special talent.

Not incompetent, but intuitive and not thoughtful.

It is only unnatural that Mertina should be able to propose an appropriate response to the master immediately.

(Of course, I knew that Mertina was growing.....)

Mertina's current position is that of chief security officer within the Kingdom of Rose Area.

Of course, with a bona fide interpretation, the position of General Manager could have greatly improved Mertina's ability.

In other words, status creates a person.

But if you interpret it maliciously, the answer changes 180 degrees.

(I mean... did you know this was going to happen? Or were you considering it as a possibility?

Did you think about it yourself, or did someone give you the wisdom?

The problem is that Mertina didn't tell Queen Lupis about the possibility.

(Meltina... you too...)

That thought wiped out Queen Lupis' fear of brightness and truth.

With Queen Lupis, I understood why Mertina did not report on this possibility.

I don't suppose there was a hundred percent conviction compared to Mertina.

Queen Lupis, who was watching her reaction beside her, also felt it on her skin.

That's why I couldn't decisively turn down the hope of my lord, Queen Rupis.

(Of course, Mertina stopped it... but it was my decision to push it off and bring her foot here...)

The sense of loss that occupies the heart of Queen Rupis today cannot be described.

Not even Queen Lupis herself understands what it is.

But I only sensually understood that something important had been lost.

But in the heart of such a master, there is no reason for Mertina to know.

"Besides... civil unrest doesn't always happen again..."

Murmuring so little, Mertina turned her gaze toward the door.

It's like chasing after a prey that you can't see.
