168 The reincarnation princess's prayer.

Captain Reaver exhales a long sigh.

He rejected Leonhard's sword by hand and sat down.

The expression that the possession has fallen is probably incorrect. But with an expression that makes me want to express, he drops his shoulder.

"I see. Which way I was stuck?"

Are you feeling down or relieved? Or both?

Captain Lever muttered in a gentle voice.

Latte gets up and shows his thinking.

"Well ... when you first went to recruit the captain, did you refuse me?"

Rate raised her bangs.

When you get this wound, point out the wound on your forehead.

Rate seems to have recommended the betrayal of Captain Lieber as a raptor intermediary. And Captain Lieber once refused.

But it seems that his wife's condition has deteriorated and has shaken.

"The king of good government, the sincere prince, the wise second prince, the kind princess who loves the people, and the faithful knights and happy people. Nebel is my ideal land. I was more than glad to see that I was able to bounce my invitation. This utopia will not be destroyed. It is like a fairy tale and it ends with a celebration. "

Utopia. I was surprised that Latte thought about Nebel like that.

I think the Kingdom of Nebel is better than other countries in terms of climate, resources and economy.

Of course, he knows that his brother is a sincere person, and he acknowledges that his regrettable father is a competent king. But it is far from the ideal town. There is darkness, just as shadows always cast in the sun. There is a difference between rich and poor, and it is hard to say that all nobles are innocent. So is the environment where mages, including Lutz and Theo, were set up when they were young.

"It looks like you said something, young lady."

Late smiles as if she had read my heart.

"I understand what you mean. I want to say that there is no Utopia. I know that too. Nebel has darkness. But I think Nebel is beautiful. That's it. "

Perate mutters with distant eyes.

Your eyes like a child who looks carefully at marbles in a treasure chest.

"However, the captain decided to betray him."

Perate speaks with gestures like a dramatic narrator.

"In this case, the evil kingdom will destroy the utopia. But how dangerous is the utopia, the murderous assassin will lend a hand or it's weird. I've never heard such a fairy tale."

Rate smiles, saying so.

Nebel to Perate felt like a treasure that should not be touched.

I know it's not the ideal home. But I want it to be so. Let me believe that. I felt like seeing such a wish.

"I can't do anything. I just look at the progress of the situation in the front row. I thought so ... Until I knew the identity of the young lady."

Late turns around and faces me.

I was staring at me with lively and shining eyes.

"My identity?"

Return parrots while puzzled.

Latte nodded many times.

"A girl from the royal city with the Black Lion General. Thought for a moment, I thought of a noble man, but immediately canceled it. My hair color was different, and above all the princess could not jump into danger. It should be just waiting for the prince to pick up on the tower or in the castle. ''

I shouted small.

You know who you are the most strange princess, no matter who you are. I don't want to be pointed out to others.

"Nevertheless, you were a rainy day princess. In the cold, your nose was turned red, and you continued to sway with an unfamiliar horse and continue your adventure without whining. I have never been

Perate was excited like a child talking about heroes.

On the other hand, my tension is falling.

I'm not happy at all even if I can line up a miserable figure. I wanted to say that there was no better looking scene, but I stopped. There is no such thing. There is no such thing as a cool scene, not just for this trip.

"But if there is such a princess out of specification, there should be an assassin who helps the justice."

Lately narrows his eyes, and Latte whispers as if to bite.

"Above all, the adventure tale of such a cool princess must be finished with" Happiness and Happiness ", it will be a lie"

"..."

Is imagined and opens my eyes. He clenched his lips and gently grasped the stone at his chest.

It's not the end like a fairy tale.

It's not the worst, I want to believe that.

“………… Your Highness”

He is called in a small voice and raises his face down.

Captain Perever stared at me. He tried to say something, but eventually he closed his mouth. I felt like I wasn't sure what to say, like a lost child.

I slowly approach him.

I left about a meter and squatted down. Look for words while facing each other. But I have no words. I didn't know what to say.

Long, long, silence fell.

"... Um"

At last, the squeezed voice is crisp and ugly. Cough and deceive.

"... I'm sorry I just said bad things."

Captain Lever blinked unexpectedly.

"I said it with momentum, but ... I want to die, I don't want to."

Even if you don't look good, there is a degree. As Lathe says, there is no such fairy tale. Such a sad hero, children will be disappointed.

But if you don't say what you want to say, you will regret it.

"Alive, please"

"..."

Captain Lever's face is distorted.

I couldn't see my face because I covered my face with my hands immediately, but my strong shoulders were shaking slightly.

If you are puzzled without knowing what to do, you will feel warmth on your shoulders. Looking back, there was Leonhardt with his hand on my shoulder.

When he meets my eyes, he lowers his eyebrows and laughs as if he was a little annoyed.

However, the smile disappeared immediately. Leonhardt kneeling next to me turns his eyes to Captain Lieber. The quiet gaze seemed to contain neither anger nor hatred.

"Ernst"

In response to Leonhard's call, Captain Lever shakes his shoulder.

"I can't forgive you. Probably a lifetime."

The strength of Leonhardt's hand rested on his raised knee. I finally reach out because I can't see the emotion-killing behavior.

He touched Leonhard's hand, and he was astounded. He stares at me who is confused by himself who has done a bold thing, and narrows his eyes slowly.

Leonhard, with a crying face, put his other hand on my hand.

"But ... no, that's why I live. Let's live to the end."

Returning to the Royal City, Captain Lieber has no idea what the ruling will be. It will never be a light disposition.

But we still want him to live.

I want it even if I know it's ego.

Please survive to the end.
