Chapter 29: The Fall of the Kingdom’s Capital

Takeru, please come with me for a moment.

What? Are you going to make fun of me again?

Ria has come.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

I am not. Were to going to talk seriously.

All right.

She looks over here upon moving the hood.

The blue eyes show a color of earnest anxiety. It does not seem to be a lie.

If this is a strange talk, no matter how much of a choro I am, I will never trust this woman again.

Ah, have you called?

The destination, Lyle-senseis room.

It is sensei who makes the room assigned a disorderly laboratory.

Today it was cleared up neatly and the Saint Wand Holy Paul was placed on the desk.

This is

Yes, it is the imitation of Saint wand that Rias master used for the failed seal.

As expected, is it fake?

Yes, a magic is casted that projects the past afterimage speculation concerning the thing. It is magic used for the important crime investigation, but

As a result of the investigation, General Gales strong thought remained. His involvement is almost certain.

Yes, I understand it somehow.

It was bad for Louise that advocated the pride of the knights, but I thought that General Gale did it.

I guess this is a proof.

I am going to visit the capital and condemn the General Gale with this.

There is no choice but to do so.

I dislike dispute but I understand that it is necessary to face Gale given the evidence.

Because the other party is not foolish, there is danger that it is possible to be killed here if we do not face and condemn him early.

Ria holds the fake saint wand. Under her hood, her eyes deepens and became foggy.

Takeru, A-sama prohibits taking revenge by commandments. We were taught to forgive sins. However, I

Ah, yeah. I think it cant be helped.

To put it out, Gale is evil.

I do not know what kind of person Rias master is.

My master was my foster parent that raised me who was an orphan. A person who is too kind I will never forgive Gale who conspired and killed my master.

Understood. He will surely compensate for his crime by all means. Look forward to it.

After doing such self-indulgence, Gale will be executed.

Though I dont know whether there is a death penalty in this country, execution is certain in medieval fantasy.

Ria doesnt need to dirty her hands.

Thus, we decided to head for the kingdoms capital for Gales denunciation.

Scene Change

When you go around the mountain road, the distance is quite far, but if you cross the Devils Mountain, the distance between the City of Ox and the royal capital is close.

Im very concerned about the metalwork of the Miasma Hole of Doom at the top of the mountain.

I cant drop in and check it when I think about Ria whose master has been killed.

When I arrived at the capital, I was welcomed unlike the previous time.

We suddenly have an audience with his majesty the king. We are shown into an luxurious room that is reserved for distinguished guest unlike last time.

The old man with white mustache wearing a luxurious formal clothe, Prime Minister Rogue is waiting with a smile on his face.

Prime Minister, its been a long time.

Ohhh! The countrys saviour, Hero Takeru, please be at ease.

Hes in a good condition.

Im preparing for the audience with the king. This is a sordid place but please heal your fatigue of travel first.

Haa

The reception is warm. Does the prime ministers character changed?

The treatment has changed so probably.

Even with zero magical powers, I have a reputation of a hero as authorized by the church.

Prime Minister, isnt there something you have to say to us?

Ha ha, of course, I apologize.

The Prime Minister puts his luxurious clothes to the ground. Even it is not a ground(it is carpet), his head looks like its almost rubbed on the ground upon kneeling.

I apologized, Knight Louise.

That is.

I intended him to apologize to Lyle-sensei.

My decision to have you taken the blame of the last failure and drove you away from kingdoms capital were a mistake. I would like you to return to the Knights by shedding the past.

Oh, he should apologize to Louise too.

Well, that story preceded it.

Prime Minister, I have a story about the Knights Order. Actually, General Gale

To Lyle -senseis explanation, the Prime Minister makes a blue face.

Such a thing, Gale himself! Capture him at once!

The Prime Minister called for his aides and moved to condemn Gale.

We heard enough from General Gale. Withdraw Leader Louise, I will defeat him.

The calm voice of sensei echoed in the room.

Kukkukku. How will it be done? Are you going to use magic Secretary Lyle? The current state with which youre surrounded is a proof that will not change.

In the meantime, the crossbow corps puts the next arrow.

Well do this.

In the signal of Lyle-sensei, the slave girl corps came in.

Their number exceeds Gale crossbow corps.

What?

Toward the deplorable cry of Gale, a salvo of the gun man corps attacked.

Smoke burst out.

Did you do it?

The crossbow unit which was defenceless while pulling a bow. Gunfire is received, all members fall, and all lies down. Gale is

Surprisingly, Gale pulled a desk down immediately and made it a shield to stopped shooting.

It is admirable in spite of being an enemy.

You have no right to say Louise is a monster.

Well, dont think you already won with this degree, Louise!

Gale escapes while holding a big desk leaving behind those lines to Louise.

Even without doing such a thing, the arquebus cant fire in rapid succession, but you dont know it.

Ah, are you going to barricade by hanging on the door of the room?

Should we pursue, sensei?

Louise, she tried to pursue him by getting over the desk that Gale left at the entrance in the room even without hearing it.

Because it is Gale, I am at a loss because there can be a trap after this.

You must not chase, Louise!

It is not good Louise. Her eyes looks back to us with severe dissatisfaction.

But, what does sensei intends to do?

Masters enemy will escape.

We failed to catch Gale. Ria voiced out her opinion and seems to cry.

For her, it is the enemy of her benefactor.

Aside from usual times, I sympathize with todays Ria.

As long as we defeat Gale, this commotion will come to an end.

Gales order will join the regular army of the kingdom. There is certainly a trap ahead. Even with Takeru, we cant do anything!

The gentle sensei got angry. Thats true.

Since the mouse is out of the bag, is letting it escape better?

Sensei deserves a credit, Im sorry.

You should understand it. Now everyone will escape. The entire capital is not yet enclosed. We only have to break through the defence of the castle.

Under senseis skilled tactical command, the enemy s enclave which was deployed double triple in the castle was broken through by the attack of the gun man corps.

It is good to know that my gunman corps cannot be defeated even with the latest mechanical bow as the opponent. Its good but I feel dark.

Finally, humans are killing each other.

As Gale said, there are troops surrounding the castle but it seems that the military doesnt have enough power to surround the whole city.

TN: Lyle is the one who says it earlier so the writer is probably just tired

The city is in a tumultuous state. The side who wants Gale and the neutral knights and the soldiers are fighting.

It seems to be easy to escape from this city.

When I was relieved to go out of the capital city of Silesie, I looked back. The royal castle was burning.

Perhaps there was a battle between court magicians that ignited it.

The fall of the kingdoms capital. Flame goes up everywhere.

It was already a terrible city full of refugees, but it is sad when this happens.

Gale is doing such since his plot came out.

How will you get this under control?

In spite of being an enemy, I begin worrying.

Sensei, which way do we escape?

Of Course, were heading toward Count Est territory.

Eh? Isnt the City of Ox closer?

Gale is probably not a fool, so hell chase us with a fast-footed knight. I want to avoid unnecessary fighting.

Sensei took out the volunteer corps from Ona village along the border of the Kings Territory and the territory of Est. Allied troops was stretched.

It will be safe to escape to Est territory.

I was relieved, but if you already read this far, sensei could have prevented Gales plot.

I was wondering whether to ask sensei who jolted in the carriage with composure. I hesitated and left it after all.

Also, Ill get angry and be rude.

Im going to think of Lyle-sensei as a universal cheat, but its not like he can do anything because shes a mage.

Rather, I am the one who is said to be a hero but became phlegm in this story.

The future development, I cant read it at all.

I made the Prime Minister lower his head, Gale was driven into a fall and I will live happily ever after.

What on earth is going to happen after this?
