38 Grand nobility

Trinity and the others, hurrying their horses and detouring north, were on their way to the mountains surrounded by trees all the way.

If you look up, there is a swordsweeping cloudy sky in the sky. Because of this, even the neighborhood seems melancholy as if it represents the anxiety and disturbance that is going to be there, and it does not appear in the shade of greenery despite being in the woods. Everything there just floats on a shadow and gray background.

Hit and change from earlier I was in a hurry and carefully move the horse forward. In the meantime, I notice signs coming from front, slowing down even more. Then a small group of troops, dressed in what appeared to be Astel's soldiers from the front, stood up.

And the captain-like man releases a word of restraint toward Trinity Two.

"Stop there!

Avoid collisions and manipulate the reins to stop in front of them. The roar of horsebuds echoed in the wood.

The man then inquires with a harsh look as he anticipates that Trinity and the others have stopped.

"Who are you people! Answer me!"

"We..."

And when Trinity tried to magically open her mouth, Gregory, the elderly knight behind her, stepped forward and yelled at the stand-up soldier.

"You guys! Who the hell do you think you're holding back before! These are His Highness Titania and Lady Reggie, the Summoner! Be modest!"

"Become!?

A drink released from his stern face made the soldiers shout surprises, frightened them, and immediately awed them. A multitude of eyes to stare at in horror. Eventually, did you realize you looked familiar?

While the footage in the memory and those in front of it coincided in the brain, the soldiers knelt down simultaneously to try to salvage their disrespect and take the form of thanksgiving to Titania and Trinidad.

"And excuse me! I beg your pardon."

"No, I don't mind. From what I've seen, it looks like you're on sentry, but you're in Klant City garrison?

"Ha. It is in the army of His Excellency the Duke of Hadrias"

A soldier who answered, in awe of Titania. In his words, for a moment subtle air and tension arise between Trinity and the two of them.

But neither does Teatania get used to abdominal arts or put any unnatural bareback on the table.

"Sir Hadrias is here."

"We're in formation ahead of us."

"Please don't show me around."

Once more the soldier says yes, the erupting sweat also keeps the surrounding soldiers together and goes to the end of the road to lead the way.

Titania followed the sound of the young leaves trampled by the soldiers' shoes, and as Trinity tried to follow immediately, Luca's horse stopped by. Then Mizuki, who was riding behind Luca, approaches him to lean against Trinity II and brings him a secret story.

"Trinity, the Duke of Hadrias."

"Oh, it's the name of a nobleman who embedded Mizumi. I didn't think you'd be here."

"This is where the person is going to be...?

"Sounds like..."

He won't be here. Vengeance. When I narrowed my eyes so that I could see even such a thing, I could see Mizuki's body tense. You go to the person who made you your friend. You won't be able to dispel the tangled anxiety.

Trinity thought so, but Mizuki appealed strongly to him, even with a worrying look on his face.

"... Trinity, you can't hurry up. No matter how many tiers you have, you don't know what will happen if you get your hands on nobility."

"Ah...... yeah, I know. Thanks for worrying, Mizuki."

If you were angry, would Mizuki be afraid of you? But it doesn't. You shouldn't. I'd still be able to get tired of Gregory talking to me if I did that. It was more than letting me know without regard for myself, it was something I had to avoid.

… Eventually there was a group of knights, soldiers and wizards in the open place in the woods of the woods. Due to the uneven terrain and the mugging of the rain earlier, the formation is clustered and neat with a tenacious atmosphere that makes the scaffolding bad but does not take it for granted. How good is that? How much?

At the heart of it, however, which was summed up in outstanding tension, were those who put together that group or the magnificent masters of the magnificent years who wore pitch-black armor.

Around forties when I was old, or just like Gregory, a little under? He has a bearded beard stored neatly on his face, and a large scratch hanging from his forehead on his opposite cheek.

He is nearly two meters long and has a tight body as if he condensed his muscles. And in spite of its nature, it unleashes an internationally powerful authority that strengthens those around it.

If that's the general in here, it's the only person who makes you feel that way.

The men of the troops who were leading Trinity II will either announce their arrival or advance toward the formation. And when he interacts with the seemingly general man a couple of times, the seemingly general man gestures to make way for the knights and soldiers gathered around him. Then the road opened up immediately.

A seemingly general man who passes between them and approaches them.

Coming before Titania without hesitation, he fell on his knees and took his subordinate thanks, not releasing the martial authority that had amassed him.

Eventually it took Titania's words, "Duke of Hadrias, go easy," and the seemingly general man - Duke of Hadrias - stood up.

"Your Highness Titania, it's been a long time. Have we met since the night club a few months ago?"

"It's been a long time. Lord Hadrias. You are no different, you are noisy."

"To this extent for Your Highness, let it be like a cool breeze. This Lucas de Hadrias will be uncomfortable in the rain as he crosses the border. I wish His Highness a good coolness..."

"What's cool? This is what unwanted care means."

…………

To the exchange between Titania and Hadrias, together, we shall cease.

Cool, but to disgust. It was hard to say that the greetings that Titania uttered and the subsequent pretentious things were as friendly as they were. Perhaps enough to make you think that you are also sending from horseback a contempt gaze.

Different quality tensions run around because of the frozen words sounding. Hadrias, however, does not offend the words, but merely returns the words solemnly, without the appearance of joking and receiving them and without grinning.

"The phase is the same, Your Highness is a tough thing to do. - And you are the brave Summoner, Lord Rage Shanna?

"Yes."

When Trinity affirmed, Hadrias turned to Eagle Deep. Then it was the gaze that intimidated others, with only arrogant eyes.

Is this what Titania means by noise? With that in mind, Trinity excites her to lose and hits her gaze.

(This man...)

- Yes. Is this the man who fell into Mizumi or the merchant squad? A man who doesn't try to hide his arrogance in standing and behaving, as if he doesn't have a single suspicion of his actions. Burning anger is sought after by a general who has taken outrageous measures, but now calms down and keeps his anger calm.

... eventually Hadrias meditates and opens his mouth.

"I'm late, Lord Brave. It is Lucas de Hadrias, who deposits Western territory over His Majesty the King. He heard that the demons were attacking the country, and led the army under his command, which would eliminate the demons."

and, informing the arrogant shore of his name and current purpose, he went on to

"His Highness Titania, the Summoning Brave. How could you be in a place like this today?

In that inquiry, Trinity speaks of the reasons she prepared in advance.

"... the movement of the Demon Nation is enlivening, so I am concerned about the situation in Astel and have rushed from the Nerferia Empire"

"Master Left? I'm sorry for your loss."

"No, it's my job to be a brave man."

When Trinity finishes her words in an administrative tone, Titania asks Hadrias without even getting her hair in between.

"Lord Hadrias, is the Demon Clan ahead?

"To infer from the circumstances, it seems so"

"So the earlier rigging was packing the calculations to be attacked?

"is that as soon as the scouts return, I think I'll hit it off"

Scouts. It's about the so-called scouts. They were just doing what they were trying to do. They measured the size of the troops they were deploying and were about to attack them.

But Trinity II finds herself puzzled by the words and enters into a conversation between Titania and Hadrias.

"Setting up a demon tribe...... seems like a small number for that?

Yes, the number was unusually low as far as the group that is now spreading to this occasion. Estimates range from 100 to 200. With this number of personnel to attack more than a thousand troops, I don't feel competing at all.

"Hall of the Brave. This is not the only size of our army that is unfolding. In order to strike simultaneously from multiple quarters, soldiers have also been placed on the south and north sides, and many soldiers are still laying low around this perimeter. Don't worry."

"Really? You didn't have to worry."

"If it's true, it would have been desirable to march in tandem with the soldiers on the Metail side, but we haven't been able to do that well either because of the preparations for the war and the bad weather, the situation where the city of Krant and Metail are separated. Therefore, I settled into this form. I want you to forgive me for being around it."

To the words of Hadrias, Trinity tells us what action we are going to take.

"When the scouts come back, we'll move too."

"You're bloody cheerful. I don't care if Lord Brave just keeps an eye on what happens this time."

Hadrias returns it that way. But you laughed, and now your breath. I did see my mouth hanging subtly in Trinity's eyes.

"- Fine. I wish you were watching instead. I'm a brave man. Until I do what I have to do."

"Heh, fine. We all have no idea what the purpose of this Lucas, Lord Brave, is, but if we're going to move forward in the army of the Demons, we'll be on our way."

…………

Hadrias breaks up for the first time and gets an invincible grin. Trinity's body, listening to his words, is tied to the thread of tension. Why have we come here, and this man has no idea?

Driven by the urge to turn around Gregory all the time, but it keeps holding back and gazing at Hadrias.

Then he said, "Please wait till the scouts return," and went back to the center of the soldiers.

Will I leave it like this? Princess, even though there are brave men, I can't handle them.

Then Titania narrows her eyes and says:

"Being a person as always"

Trinity keeps looking at Hadrias' back, just like her, no, she keeps staring.

"It's unusual for Tia to say that. I knew you didn't like that guy?

"It's just what I was looking at. I like not to imitate the flair, but that constantly overlooking atmosphere and intimidation fuels this defiance."

There was something unexpected about her rating, which was emitted so low.

"... Tia hates losing a lot?

"What!? No. Well... more than that, Lady Reggie sees Lord Hadrias, how do you feel?

"Yeah, it was a surprise. You're such a man."

And, Trinity divulges her honest thoughts. Lucas de Hadrias. He was a more obscene man because he fell into another with a despicable hand, and he thought of a nobleman like it - something like a fat tanuki, but fulfilling it betrayed his imagination.

Most of all, it means it sucks.

"I thought it was the inferior species that I couldn't see, but actually they were the bad guys on the wheel for it?

"Not that far then, but... Tia really doesn't like that guy"

"Isn't that enough, Master Reggie? This is the first day I've heard something from Lady Reggie called 'The Man'."

"Oh......"

To Titania's point, I hope Trinity speaks of it. He did say it that way naturally. I was going to be careful what I said and did, but can't disgust still be false?

Then Mizuki gives a bewildered look and asks Teatania.

"... Oh, does that guy fight too? He's noble, isn't he?

"The Duke of Hadrias family is one of Astel's leading martial arts households. And the Duke of Hadrias has excellent martial arts."

Again. That intimidation wasn't the norm, and the temperament to come out on the front line, and that body. There can be no doubt if you say samurai.

Mizuki, on the other hand, says something strange with a rugged face.

"You have a big scratch on your face."

"Yes, I've heard of that wound, too, a long time ago in battle. I've never seen it right before, but I hear it's pretty strong."

Titania says so, cleverly manipulating the horse and turning it all around. And while you watch your surrounding ears,

"As you can see by now, Sir Hadrias is an unafraid man. Dear Reggie, don't let Mizuki forgive you. And Luca, Roffrey will need your help."

To Teatania's order, the two knights respond comfortably, like if they hit "Ha" it sounds.

"And Gregory. You stay with me."

"But Your Highness the Princess..."

"You have nothing to worry about. Whatever Sir Hadrias may do to you, this is me. Don't worry."

"... Her Highness the Princess..."

Gregory bows his head to Titania's reliable words. Roffrey, on the other hand, was more impressed and tearful for some reason, and Luca was sending her respect to Titania.

"Tia today, that's so cool."

"Right."

"But you shouldn't like it, should you?

"Huh? Huh?

When Trinity was confused by what Mizuki said, she turned her back. Luca, who keeps her back in such a rui shu, looks just as strange as Trinity.

The fold, a few soldier-like men from the back of the tree, comes running.

Probably a scourge I was going to see how it went.

Keep an eye on them as they head toward Hadrias in a straight line, and Trinity and the others head toward the center of the formation.

When we got there, Hadrias was asking the soldier under his knees.

"What was going on with the Demons?

"Ha! My lord, the army of demons..."

A soldier trying to speak out of breath, keeping the dripping sweat intact. Everyone but Hadrias is breathtaking at that moment in front of them when they hear what happened. I imagine how unfolding and what demonic tribes there are.

And shortly afterwards, the soldier told me that

"Why, it's all gone..."

That was such a stunning fact.

――

"Destroy them all!?

"... silly, the reports must have been over a thousand, huh? That's the whole thing before you hit the army?

The voice of Trinity is followed by the stunned voice of Hadrias.

If Trinity looks to the side, she still has a stunned look. Couldn't Hadrias have predicted such a report? Even from around you, you start to hear confusion and suspicion mingling.

So Titania,

"Is that for sure?

"Oh...?

Have the soldiers noticed her presence yet? After a little confusion, Hadrias's voice prompts him to answer as if he was in a hurry.

"Ma, no doubt about it. Only demon and demon carcasses were found on the plains."

"Oh my..."

Titania's voice at the end, heavy silence engulfs the formation. This situation is not bad news, but the doubt is more winning. Everyone is confused without knowing what to say.

Then did Hadrias come up with anything? Turn around Titania.

"Your Highness, what if"

"... No, we are here from the Nerferia Empire. It's the opposite direction to where the Demons were, and if they were, where would they need to play such a small play?

"... that was a stupid question"

Hadrias denied himself an earlier obscure question.

I guess he thought he wiped them all out. Sure, he's a person in this world, too. In other words, people on the side who find hope in the presence of the brave. There is no point in thinking that in a situation where there are brave men.

Though it never seems to be the case to me.

Titania urges Hadrias, who is reticent about something.

"Lord Hadrias, in that place anyway"

"... right, let's go"
