Chancellor Ludwig was one of the chief servants of Empress Meir for a long time.
As Meer's right arm, he was the one who played the role of the six arms on all sides, but by the time Bell was born, work had gradually decreased and time was available.
The reform of the group with Empress Meir at its forefront was so dramatic and strong.
Already, the Tier Moon Empire had such a system in place that Ludwig could move without any problems without being too busy.
As a result, Ludwig, who is a little free and lonely, one day receives a call from Meer.Therefore, I decided to ask you to do this.
Would you mind investigating how Meabel has worked in the past?
... it was quite a frivolous request.
"I don't think I can tell you what you don't know..."
Ludwig smiled bitterly, and Meir said with a solemn face.
"Please, Ludwig." I want to give her the information she needs to go to the past. "
In response to his sincere wishes, Ludwig rectified his posture.
“Okay, but let me say no to this, even if I can, it's just less than hypothetical personal reasoning.What happened to Bell-sama is too abnormal.I don't think I've seen any examples in the past, and it's probably not familiar... "
After saying no, Ludwig immediately went into contemplation.
The first thing I did was look at the past literature.
Isn't such an incredible event really happening in the past?Isn't there a legend like that?Do you have any literature on those times?
Now, I'm going to St. Meer Academy, which has become the empire's largest research institute, to investigate.
Eventually, I knew that I would return to Bell's memory.
The second time Belle appeared, she had memories of her first visit to the past.Therefore, it would be best to talk to Bell after the memory returns to find out the cause.
But that doesn't necessarily make it clear.
Besides, I don't know how long it will take for Bell's memory to return to the past.That's why we do everything we can in advance.
Well, look it up, look it up... but there's no results.
Is that a miracle that just happened to Bell after all?
Having concluded so, it is reported that Bell's memory has been restored.
Instantly, Ludwig, who had heard from Belle, unintentionally roared.
"The future of the collapse of the Empire... from the future that disappeared... yes..."Maybe there's a clue.Her Royal Highness Princess Meabel has been there twice in the past.However, the first princess to come to the past is not the current princess."I came from another future and was killed in that abandoned castle..."And the other future that she came to is gone by Meer-sama laying down good governance. "
Ludwig casually draws a line.It is the line to the future of ruin and to the present thriving empire.
Then, from one line, pull the arrow to the past, and add a bump to it.
"I wonder if Princess Meabel lost her life in the past and this line of ruin has completely disappeared... wait a minute."
Along the way, a landscape rises in Ludwig's mind.
It is the sight of the abandoned platform built in the central square of the Imperial Capital.
Before Prince Zion, I went to ask for the life of the criminal Meer... such a fragment of memory.
I truncated it as just a dream, and I tried to forget it was an ominous dream... remember?
"No way, a dream... isn't it a memory of a vanished timeline?"
When I noticed that, there was something I could see.
Will my memories in the lost timeline continue to be integrated in the form of dreams?
Suddenly, you can see the stringed instrument (lute) in your room.It was a gift from the head of the Riding Kingdom, Lin Clan.
Even now, from time to time, Ludwig took it in his hand.Then, I pull one of the strings with my finger... and play it.
The string swings up and down, creating an illusion that there are several lines.
"Isn't this also the line of time...?"
Sway, sway, many in parallel, all converging into one.It converges in one direction.
"No, but... that doesn't explain why Princess Bell went to the past."Besides, I don't know why this fluctuation in the timeline happened. "
It was impossible to imagine that Belle had flown into the past, and that caused a shake in the timeline... "
"Then I can't explain the memory of the collapse of the Empire."This is supposed to be an oscillation even before Bell-sama comes. "
After discovering the secrets of his dreams, Ludwig began to write them in his diary as soon as he could.Keep a record of your dreams along with your daily diary.As a result of this, both records will be kept so that if the "world now" can be transformed into a "dream" as a result of shaking and convergence.
In the meantime, he remembers that he has a strongly engraved memory in him.
It was a memory of Meir, who was once a princess, and running around hard to save a leaning empire.The meer inside was really a pimp, but there was nothing I could do about it... "
"It's a cloudy memory..." It must have some kind of memory.Unfortunately, I'm not young anymore. Hahaha
It is Ludwig with a bitter smile, etc.
... anyway, he thinks this memory is not just a dream, but a vanished time line memory.
"In this case... the point where the fluctuation occurs and the time line branches out doesn't coincide with the appearance of Belle-sama."On the other hand, isn't this [sway] the reason why Bell-sama is sent to the past? "
Ludwig then began to look into the past for tips.
The situation on the continent at the time left by Galve, his mentor, and the flow of history from country to country.After a detailed examination of these things... Ludwig began to feel a certain discomfort.
"That's..."
“Isn't it impossible for a great, brilliant figure like Meer to appear at this point in history?”
It was uncomfortable.
At the same time, he thinks:
What if Master Meir is really the Savior sent by Heaven?
and so on... "
While soaking in the hot water, I heard Bell's story, and when I heard it, I slightly lost it, so I went up from the bathtub and poured cold water over my head...
"Ludwig... it's pretty awesome..."
I crushed it unintentionally.
"Somehow... it's a lot more than it is now..." Or is this about getting old? "
I feel lonely...
At this time, Meer was completely underestimated.
Ludwig Hewitt, the brain of imperial wisdom.The reasoning that could be said to be the delusion twisted by his head, where does that go...
I had no idea that it would be a bluff to my own truth.
And the conversation between my grandmother and my grandson continued.
