12.
“by the way.”
Starting with a stroke of luck, Ibella spurned her seat and sat down on the bed. Then he turned to the others and asked.
“what will happen to us in the future?”
“huh? how is it?”
“Suddenly, that's what, what, sound?”
Perticia and Dillia ask questions as if wondering.
Then Ibella, realizing that the content was incomplete, asked a more fleshed out question..
“So I mean, I asked what to do after defeating the giant king..”
“Oh, if that…….”
“Of course, back to the academy.”
Dillia shrugged..
With an expression of asking what is so obvious.
Ibela, on the other hand, shook her head. As if her just reply wasn't what she wanted to hear.
Then he licked his lips again.
“If we go back to the academy like that, will we be able to live a normal life like before??”
“that…….”
For a moment, Dillia was speechless..
It was only then that I realized.
What is the essence of the question Ibella asked? So she was wondering what to answer.
“maybe it's hard.”
someone broke in.
none other than Noah. Like Ibella, she sat on the bed and muttered calmly..
“Defeating the giant king, Largtan, doesn't mean everything is over..”
Warriors still have work to do.
Another lord, Lacus, had to be defeated, and the source of the abyss mentioned by Kazan Rudric had to be subdued as well..
“Then when you're done with it all?”
“Yes? entire?”
“Yeah, if you stop the threat from the abyss and bring peace, then see what happens?”
“Well, maybe it will go back to normal?”
Noah gave an ambiguous answer..
It had to be. Because what happened before that was an unknown that even Noah had never experienced..
So I vaguely guessed.
However, Evelyn's thoughts seemed different..
“really think so?”
“huh?”
“I'm asking if there's any reason for us to stay at the academy after passing the hero's ordeal?.”
“that, that…….”
Noah shaken for a moment.
As Ibella said.
Currently, most of Ulan's party have passed the ordeal and have risen to the level of masters or archmages..
As long as you're much stronger than the professors, there's no reason to go to the academy anymore. Even if I did, it would be just a waste of time.
So when I was thinking about what to say.
Dillia rejoined the conversation..
“Then, everyone, scattered, scattered.”
A word spilled from my lips.
It may sound cold, but this answer was also the point. There is no reason for the warriors to be gathered at the point where the abyss disappeared in the first place..
“And, perhaps, among us, Pertisia will, first, return to the imperial family.”
As her grave eyes turned to Pertisia, she shook her head resolutely..
“no! i won't go back.”
“I don't like it, it's a problem that can be solved, it's not.”
this is a desert.
A place where the power of the empire is less.
However, the story is different if you cross the border and return to the academy. From then on, the imperial family will exert its influence in earnest..
To take Pertishia.
“If, even then, you reject the emperor,…….”
Then I will really turn the Empire into an enemy..
Dillia blurted out behind her back. She thought that everyone would know without having to say it..
When such a still silence fell.
“Oh right.”
Suddenly, Isabella opened her eyes wide..
As if something I had forgotten came to mind.
“And then I was curious about that too.”
“this time, again, what?”
“It's about Perticia, nothing else, but I've been hearing some strange things lately..”
Tomb of Kazan Rudric.
The story of the time when Noah and I were waiting for Ulan's party, and when we faced the Empire's five swords.
At that time, Barca, the sword of the north, referred to Perticia's existence and called her thus..
‘Empress Candidate'.
Meanwhile, at Ibella's words, Dillia snorted as if it wasn't worth worrying about..
“You must have heard it wrong.”
“no! I heard you right.”
“My thoughts are the same as Dillia. In the first place, the next emperor is my older brother, so how could I be a candidate for empress??”
“Because it's not! Noah heard!”
Ibella shouted in annoyance..
Then, Dillia and Perticia all turned their attention to Noah. Like asking if what Ibella just said is true.
Noah sighed at this..
‘……I knew that someday this day would come.’
The truth about the existence of Perticia.
Remembering this, Noah let out another sigh and nodded slowly..
“Isabella is right.”
“what? really?”
“Yes, the swords of the empire consider Pertisia not a princess, but a candidate for empress. At least that's what I'd think of the Northern Sword..”
“Ha, but that makes no sense!”
Then Perticia screamed..
A face with a clear expression of confusion.
It was a very embarrassing reaction to the fact that Noah, who had played the original game countless times, said this, not anyone else..
“My brother and I are siblings of the same blood, but how could the empress…….”
“There's an unknown secret.”
Noah answers straight away.
Dillia asked with her eyes shining..
“Always, said, in the original work, experienced, information?”
“that's right. However, this is a story about the identity of Perticia, so it is a little premature to bring it up.…….”
“I don't care so tell me.”
The moment Noah hesitated to answer, Perticia urged the story. Noah asked in a voice full of hesitation..
“I'm really fine?”
“yes. Since I've already heard this far, if I go on like this, it'll only make me feel uncomfortable..”
Well, he is too.
Noah nodded..
“all right. Then I'll tell you.”
The truth about Perticia's existence.
After catching his breath, Noah first explained why Perticia was born..
“It is safe to say that the existence of half-man, half-spirit was born because of the distorted desire of the emperor who is currently bedridden..”
Martes Plume Ul Reuben.
A being who boasted of omnipotent power and believed himself to be the noblest blood in the world.
Therefore, he believed that the only true matchmaking partner for him was a being in legend or mythology, not a human being..
Beast people, fairies, fish people, etc..
The emperor had relationships with numerous candidates and had five bloodlines under his wing. Still not satisfied, they searched for more rare species..
“One of them was a spirit.”
“what? but the spirit…….”
“that's right. A spiritual being without a body.”
Perhaps even Pertisia knows by this point..
But now it's different.
With a serious face, Noah spoke out the truth behind the fabricated story..
“So the Emperor and the Mage Tower secretly conducted research. And finally, he succeeds in creating a human with a spirit soul..”
“……yes?”
Perticia asked blankly..
Perhaps it was because it was different from the story he knew. On the other hand, Noah did not answer the question and added an extended explanation..
“half-human and half-spirited. An artificial life form created by mixing humans and spirits. Originally, a being who was destined to become the wife of the current emperor who was lying on a sickbed..”
After closing my mouth for a while.
Noah kept an eye on Perticia..
“that's you.”
“……!”
Perticia's face visibly hardens..
It wasn't just her who reacted in surprise. Dillia and Ybela's faces have hardened like stone..
“wait a minute! yes, that means……!”
“Yes, it means that there will be no problem even if the next emperor welcomes Pertisia with rain..”
The royal blood does not flow in Perticia..
After such a shocking truth was revealed, a heavy silence filled the barracks. But after a while, a voice broke the silence..
“He's crazy..”
It was Ibela's voice..
She muttered in an absurd tone, and Dillia asked back, looking a bit surprised..
“Kick, to the emperor, you can say that?”
“What do you think? it's true.”
Isabella responding boldly.
It is certainly not an ordinary way of thinking. Dillia also nodded her head in agreement..
However, it was definitely Perticia who was more surprised than anyone else. She stammered out her words with her pale face..
“Then, if we return to the imperial family…….”
“I must become an empress.”
The moment this truth is revealed, there is no one who can block Chartrand's path..
except for one.
“But nothing to worry about. Because there are barbarians here who will defend you, even turning the Empire into an enemy..”
Ulaanbaatar.
At the mention of his presence, Perticia flinched momentarily. In response, Noah mentioned the story he had heard from Ulan..
“You said you swore? I'll never send you back to the imperial family.”
“that…….”
I must have said that.
Pertisia silently nodded..
Not just words.
Uhlan actually confronted Rimmer, and when asked if he intended to turn the Empire into an enemy, he replied that he would if necessary..
the moment I remembered this.
Pertishia realized.
‘ah, that's right.’
Why Ulan swore so.
That's probably because he already knows his true identity, which he just heard from Noah, and that's why he swore with those words..
I will not send Perticia to the imperial family..
‘……Ulan.’
The moment I remembered his existence.
I felt my heart, which had been swirling with shock, gradually subside. Her complexion returned to her face as well, along with a sense of relief..
“Anyway, that's all my story.”
A secret that has been hidden.
Perhaps thanks to this revelation, Noah's face looked more relaxed than before. She smiled as well, Pertisha, who was freed from her thoughts with him..
“thanks for telling me.”
“Not to the extent of being grateful. Because I had to tell you someday.”
Noah shook his head..
At the end of the conversation, Dillia suddenly asked Perticia a question..
“So, yes, what do you think??”
“yes? What does it mean?”
“Do you have any thoughts on becoming the empress?.”
A word that flowed out indifferently.
As soon as Dillia's question was finished, Ibella retorted with what she was talking about..
“it's crazy? Of course you don't like it!”
“no, rather, it might be better.”
“what? Seriously, it's a sound?”
“It's like, the empire's, the empress.”
The most powerful country that dominated the continent.
If she was the first empress of the Ruben Empire, she would be able to wield considerable power, if not as much as the emperor..
As a human being, of course, you might be greedy. But Pertisha shook her head as if she wasn't worth worrying about..
“i don't like.”
“see i said?”
Ibella scolded Dillia.
On the other hand, Dillia asked calmly..
“The reason is?”
“Of course, my older brother is a good person. You have given me many favors in the past..”
When other members of the imperial family assassinated the current emperor and the children born of different races, Perticia survived under Chartrand's protection..
In addition, the list of blessings received from Chartrand would be endless. But that and this are entirely different kinds of problems..
“But my older brother is family. I've never thought of myself as a partner.”
Isabella nodded silently..
As if that was a natural reaction.
Dillia didn't ask any more questions either. In the answer she had just given, it was because she sensed Pertisha's firm will..
In response to these two girls' reactions, Pertisia added a word with a smile on her face..
“'Cause my only companion is Ulan.”
“……what, how?”
and at that moment.
The faces of the two girls were crumpled.
“hey! Even if it goes beyond anything else, that's not it.”
“I know that we will be deceived?”
“hehe, got it?”
“of course! not stupid!”
Looking at Perticia, who smiled shyly, Ibella shouted in an absurd tone..
But is it because of the quarrel??
The dark atmosphere has gotten better.
Noah, who was watching this scene, brought out a guess that he hadn't been able to say right after he revealed the truth..
“And this is my personal guess..”
“Yes? what is it?”
“There is a possibility that the next emperor, Prince Chartrand, was related to the abyss or the abyss worshipers, just like Count Dermore..”
“……what?”
A shocking story with a different meaning from Perticia's true identity. Immediately after Noah's words, the hall went silent again..
