Chapter 253. Why do you always think of assassination when you're wrong? (2)

“The saintess is the enemy of Dia's hometown. I told you about it.”

“Yes, it is... Are you concerned about that? Even so, I never...

“No, not really.”

I cut off what Dia was trying to say.

“There is no human being who will not feel anything after hearing such a story.”

I'm pretending that nothing is wrong, but my eyes aren't so dark that I can't see through it.

If she had been a person who was genuinely okay with it, I would not have had her by my side in the first place.

“Did you really think I would run right away?”

“Well, considering Dia’s personality, that wouldn’t be the case.”

If so, I may not have taught you.

Even now, on the other hand, Dia is calmly thinking about it.

She also has a lot of things to do and where she is now to just fly away in anger.

Still can't hide it

When an epidemic is mentioned or the holy kingdom is mentioned, the hand that holds her wand becomes stronger.

It's hard for anyone to hold back the fire that burns in their hearts.

“Are you actually angry?”

“Maybe it is. .... But to be honest.”

Dia readily admitted.

“I can’t come to a conclusion yet.”

she said so

“Arel-nim, when I was young... when I was just taken to the Mage Tower, I was resentful of God.”

“Hmm, God...

well, it deserves it.

If it was D.A.'s position, it would be enough.

What can't be laughed at is that the people who drove her to tragedy in the past are the ones who carry the name of that god on their backs.

If there really is a god they worship.

I might have caught that god and tore it to death instead.

I am also very displeased, but what about the person involved?

“When I was young, there were times when I was resentful of everything. But...

Dia frowned for the first time as if she was perplexed.

“After coming here and listening to it. I am not sure what to do.”

It's not just a metaphor, it seems to be a really complicated feeling.

“I feel a little complicated. I don't understand the motives for what the hell they did.”

“You deserve it.”

The motive is probably inferred, but I didn't say that.

I was worried that it would be meaningless to say it and that it would have the opposite effect.

“Also, even if I am angry with that fact, I am not so blinded by reason as to forget my duty in revenge.”

“Hmm is that so?”

” but.”

“hmm?”

“It's a shameless request, but would you mind doing one thing?”

“say it.”

Dia hesitated a little before answering.

“...If that saintess appears, then I would like you to give me a chance.”

“opportunity?”

“I want to talk to her once. Or I want to know for sure about it.”

She said it was a story, not revenge.

“Otherwise, I cannot draw conclusions about the matter at that time.”

“That’s the conclusion.”

Thinking of that, I nodded my head.

“...Yes, if there is a chance, I will do my best. If I can get her recruited, I'll make room for her somehow.”

“I have no face for asking you too much.”

“hmm? It's not too much. Dia Negen has that right. Other guys can't refute this.”

There's nothing that can't be taken into consideration.

When I said that, Dia lowered her head slightly.

“And again, Dia I have no intention of leaving her alive anyway.”

The reason I pursued this war in the first place was because, in the end, she crossed the line.

Because I did something I shouldn't have done.

It's okay to curse at me.

Lua silently muttered as she observed the Ernesia Kingdom army's camp in the mountains with her magic tool.

“I guess that’s about it.”

She is now in the mountains behind their camp.

Looking at the place where a large group of soldiers are staying, she murmured.

“Certainly... that's a large army...

I don't have much war experience, but it's threatening.”

Lua continued to keep an eye on the campsite and surveyed the situation.

Among them, the place she is keeping an eye on is the place where the Fahilia Territory Army is gathered.

“That means Arell Ernesia is over there.”

Lua's eyes shone coldly as if she had found what she was aiming for.

Originally, her mission was to escort the saintess. Why should she leave the saintess and stay in the mountains like this to keep an eye on enemy lines?

It was because of a certain order that Nelvania called her aside some time ago.

Lua silently recalled the incident several days ago.

“I have something to tell Lua.”

“Yes, Miss Nelvenia. say anything I will follow any order.”

When she was called, she quietly approached and waited for orders.

First of all, the only mission that is revealed is to escort.

She would come and help with other tasks as per the saintess' orders.

However, this time Nelvenia was not willing to speak.

Looking at it, Lua understood the intention.

She knew the current situation in the Holy Land.

At such a timing, he called me quietly, saying he had something to do, so it's all the more strange that he didn't know.

“...Is that what I'm supposed to do?”

“I’m sorry. This time, I have no choice but to leave it to Lua.”

After hearing that, Lua was sure of why the saintess had found her.

“Assassination... in this case, that Areel Ernesia... is it?”

“okay.”

Nelvenia nodded so calmly.

Lua was also used to this.

Among Nelvenia's subordinates, she is none other than the most skilled and most trusted.

So, from time to time, Nelvania would ask her to do tasks that only non-believers would be able to entrust.

Something that should never be known to the world.

“I’m sorry.”

“no. Compared to the grace I received from Nelvania, this is a matter of course. It's none of your business.”

“Originally... these things should be entrusted to someone with a more suitable position... but unfortunately there is no one I can trust.”

“...others betray easily. I can't help it.”

Lua said as if she understood.

I can say that I know that fact better than anyone.

She was a low-ranking knight who worked in the Seongguk region before she was selected as an escort and entered the Seonggung.

However, the lord who served at the time, the lord, recognized her as nothing more than a discarded chess horse.

In the end, after an unreasonable mission, she was betrayed and abandoned at the end, and Nelvenia accidentally picked her up while dying on the mission and kept her by her side as she is now.

And she's not the only one who's been blessed.

In fact, most of the people Nelvenia has around have similar circumstances to Lua.

In her words, she just said, ‘It's because people who sit in high places can't be trusted without any trouble'.

Lua was able to understand that feeling in her heart.

can not believe it.

That's why Nelvenia didn't ask others to do the assassination mission.

Other knights are breathed in by other high priests.

It's difficult if you order something for nothing and then change your mind.

There, the saintess orders the assassination of the royal family of another country.

It's difficult when such gossip rises.

It should be wrapped up as an action that has nothing to do with her intentions.

On top of that, Lua also heard about the unfavorable situation.

“After all, if we want to win the war, we have no choice but to get rid of him?”

“...Yes, there are too many uncertainties about him... It's not what I want, but I can't let it go.”

I understood that Nelvania was determined and determined.

No matter how strong Ernesia-kun is, if Arel continues to give them wisdom, they will inevitably become weaker.

That's what she judged.

Then, of course, assassination is the most efficient method.

However, as long as she holds the position of a saint, it is not easy to talk about assassination.

He also understood that he had no one to ask for.
