436 At that time, the countries are ~ Gania Edition ~

- "In the case of Gania"

……

Schuanze's expression gets harsher as she proceeds to read the letter. I noticed that. Did Rafik also perceive something, waiting for the word of the Lord with a nervous face.

Having finished reading, Schanze releases the letter she was holding onto the table. Rafik frowned at that somewhere abusive trick.

The letter comes from Mizki, a magician who is one of the Lord's few friends and benefactor. If it's a letter from someone you don't want to get involved with, the sender is Mizuki.

Schanze and I were delighted initially to receive a letter from Mizki. That is the attitude… and Rafik had a growing feeling that he was unhappy with what was written in the letter.

…… I hear His Highness Elshon was raided and wounded. "

"Nah!? Where the hell are you?

Rafik raises their voice to the murderous reports brought about by his grumpy voice. But Schanze didn't blame it. Ning Ro, I even take it for granted. Because he's a benefactor.

Schanze's legs were born unable to move. 'A birth disorder cannot be cured by healing magic' - I had a deep give up on that fact, and had also plagued my stupid parents with my head.

A royal but king disciple breath who has had time for misadventure.

A being despised by his brother and his wife, belittled by the nobles, and protected by the King's family.

That was Schanze not long ago. Quite pitiful as an adult royalty, but due to his own negative elements and the ambition of his king brother, who is still after the throne, it is also inevitable and 'the prince who gave up'.

No matter how much the king and his wife had mercy with my son, and Tezelt, the king's prince, thought me like a brother, I have the pride of being born a royal with Schanze.

Speaking of whether their kindness did not hurt that admiration...... it would definitely be a 'no'. Gratitude and respect are real, but people's emotions are not so easily divisible.

Rafik is the only one who knows the grid of such Schuanze, and I guess he won't be telling others about it in the future. It's Rafik who knows the heart of such a Lord that he couldn't give up on 'healing Schuanze's feet'.

And... the wish was fulfilled. It's not simply about 'healing your feet', it's even about 'clearing up Cheanze's worries'!

"Worry is already in the past." Now Schanze is not The Prince Who Was Giving It All Up.

Rafik was dedicated to serving Shuanze, so he could understand the joy of the main Shuanze. Those days, when the Magic Master and Shuanze fought together, are a 'happy time' for this Lord that he will never forget.

Not just to protect, Mizki treated Shuanze as an 'accomplice' and gave him a role.

By acting and speaking for himself, Schanze himself rewarded the king and his wife Tezert.

Above all, he put Schanze in charge of the decision to plead guilty and set him apart from the drooling emotions he had on his chest!

No matter which one was missing, Schuanze's heart would never have cleared. That is why the Lord remembers his gratitude to Elshon for encouraging Mizki to be so.

Mizuki may not have taken special care of it, but it's with her prepared muscles that Schuanze is laughing without any worries. You can't be ungrateful.

Therefore... this raid could not have been tolerated.

"Sounds like Harvis' third princess ordered the raid, right? But she seems to have 'The Blood Starch'. That's why Mizuki and the others doubt the existence of those who tried to exploit the madness"

"Oh...... let's take that for granted. It is inevitable that there will be more 'blood starches' than marriage will take place between those whose identities match each other. Dark blood causes madness...... every country will know. Therefore, we have an obligation to monitor."

"Right. With me, they suspected it was possible. Fortunately, he wasn't under surveillance because he was just a leg anomaly."

Saying, Schanze strokes her feet. If "those who possess what once seemed to be the hallmark of an existential species" are the ancestors, then it is the "precipitation of blood" that possesses a negative legacy - some sort of, mental anomaly - due to the intensity of blood.

Schuanze also understood its peculiarity because he had a past where he thought, 'If only he had [the starch of blood], he would have buried Mr. and Mrs. Wang without worries'.

"This time, the reason for the raid seems a little incredible. Well, that's still convincing. That is why I also suspect 'the existence of those who tried to use the raid plan'...." Blood Starch "has always been a target of alarm. Knowing the eyes of surveillance directed at me, which I suspect, makes it impossible to act easily."

"Lord......"

"You don't have to feel painful, Rafik. Isn't it like someone's always watching you more than being royal? I guess Mizuki realized the possibility because she had surveillance on her. Unless you intentionally missed it, there can't be a raid like this one."

Schuanze ran out of clarity because he learned about his experiences, and the current state of Mizki - the exorcist of the otherworlds.

Mizuki favors the guardians, but she also knows they're in charge of surveillance. I guess because I take that for granted, the guardians can also treat me like a friend.

If you threaten the surveillance facts and build a wall with the guardians, Mizuki can't move as much as she does now. People will not accept the achievements so far, as they do today, because they are only trustworthy with them.

It's a harsh way of saying it, but 'people of different worlds are on alert without question'. 'Knowledge of different worlds' brought about by those who have no knowledge of this world and even different common sense… nothing would be more frightening. Because the otherworlds of the day can't tell if it's good or not.

"Will Rafik look me through, too?... as Mizuki moves. Based on the reasons why His Highness Elshon was targeted, I would like to consolidate Tezert's protection. You need to send someone to Ilfena."

"... this is... indeed. Looks like you should consolidate Tezelt-sama's protection."

Rafik, who read the letter, also gets a harrowing look. Rafik didn't take it lightly, no matter how awkward the 'conditions to be targeted' might be.

From Rafik, who knows the situation of Schanze so far, it is not Harvis' third princess or anything else to be wary of. Like Schanze, I suspect 'the existence of those who tried to exploit the raid plan'.

"His Royal Highness the King deserves better" - many moved for themselves whispering those words. For the two of us who watched such a man with cold eyes, what is suspicious is those around the Third Princess, or those who resent the royal family.

In the first place, black cats go hunting alone, even if their opponents would be royal people.

Doesn't that mean there's still something she hasn't seen, more than she hasn't moved?

Because of the days we fought together, the Schanze and the others think so. Mizuki is not hesitant to retaliate, but Elshon is the top priority. And the 'country' whose Elshon is at the top of the list is Irfena.

Not yet, if Irfena doesn't move and not even the knights of Erscheon supremacy.

- 'Now' I'm waiting for a dialogue between countries, I guess. Decide that's the 'best course of action'.

"... yeah, yeah, let's ask those three"

"Lord?

I hear Schanze was thinking about the future while Rafik glanced at the letter. Nodding in fun, he turns his pranky grin to Rafik.

"Let's put those three on Tezert. They are Mizuki's godchildren, so it's no wonder they received letters directly. Of course, he's my keeper, so is my contact."

"Does that mean... that the Lord is going to Ilfena?

"Ha! That wouldn't be weird, would it? I have not yet conveyed my thanks to His Highness Elshon. In the first place, you should report more details from my own mouth than you helped me."

"But... is the Lord okay with that?

Rafik's gaze turns to Schanze's feet. Schanze hasn't yet, he can't walk satisfactorily. Going to Irfena also means exposing such a state of shuanze to the eyes.

In the first place, Schanze has never been on the table before. Sometimes if such a royal family turns to Irfena, it is a party to one of the earlier cases - the culpability of Mr. and Mrs. Wang - and it does not take foresight to be exposed to the gaze of curiosity.

But...

"That's why. There will be people who say a lot about the wounded Lord Elshon. If I go there, don't you think I'll catch the subject at once? I'll take care of all the curious gaze and all the uncanny questions."

That being said, Schanze laughed with pleasure. Rafik opens his eyes to such a figure of the Lord.

"Until now I have been protected. But from now on, I have to help myself.... depending on what you think, this is a good opportunity. Because I can appeal to Irfena."

"... you've grown stronger, Lord"

"Heh heh, maybe Mizuki's shame, huh? He said, 'Treating monsters is a lovely name that people can't judge by their laws!' Or so he said." Divergent, "" otherworldly, "" magical conductor "… such perceptions turn into advantages depending on how they are used. What about this time, 'For the sake of the country, I drove down my real parents [poor prince]'? In the guise of sympathy, I suppose you'll come and explore."

I have no worries about Schanze's face. People will see Shuanze with some fear that even the Wang brothers and sisters, who have already decided to punish them, will use it and say that they will try to connect them to the making of the topic.

But that's where Schanze wanted to stand. Fearful yet fruitful from people, loyalty to the country...... unwavering loyalty to Tezert.

The 'loyal villain' who compensates for the missing part of the gentle cousin who was treating me like a brother, sometimes in conflict and sometimes in hard decisions. Because Schuanze aspires to be like the Duke of Fakr.

For that reason, Schuanze wants me to use this one as well. Along with Irfena's side, he also has flavor. Irfena and I would be angry if Gania was on our side.

"Mizuki says, 'You've got a bad personality!' They're going to say something like... oh, or 'I thought I'd do it'? Either way, it's gonna be fun."

"Lord. It's a little careless. It's important for His Highness Elshon, so please keep it down a little bit."

"'Cause you don't have to worry."

Rafik lost his words to the words returned properly.

"Even if you get injured, there's nothing else in your life, so this is how you give me information. Besides... it's impossible that the guy who crushed those knights is safe. Even Mizuki won't shut up. I guess the next time you set me up, it's the end of the line."

Schanze has never been able to move. Therefore, the only thing he could do was gather information.

That's why I know. "Whatever His Highness Elshon is, his immediate knights are outrageously fierce," he said.... If I say more, I even think it's similar to Mizuki's.

The kidnapping of His Royal Highness Elshon, which was explored by Brother Wang, the last of its executors. It is only for the record that the knights who responded to the appearance of that threatened sorcerer fought.

"Mizuki is the magician who cured my leg, right? Naturally, healing is a treat... Mizuki did something when His Highness Elshon was wounded? That kid, he's not stupid enough not to realize, 'If you keep doing your job, your parents will be in danger'. Don't take your hands off the magic workouts of protection and healing because you are also likely to be in danger. I thought you said there was no help with the guardian."

"That's... well, that's a little bit of a special situation. It also looks like we're supposed to be in action."

"Maybe that fits. So I guess Mizuki could have stayed alone in our country. It's not just because she's a magician that she's strong, but because of her education and hard work."

……

Initially, Schanze was stunned by Elshon's words, which ordered him to 'protect Schanze'. Civilians, even if they would be magicians. I wonder what a harsh thing to say to protect an unidentified otherworlder.

There were previous rumors, secretly wondering, "For that prince, are the otherworlds treated like pawns?" etc. Now it was just a joke, but it was an order that made me think, from Schanze's point of view, 'It won't be there'.

... but Mizki accepted it with all due respect and let it be done. Elshon was also perfectly flat about it, so none of the worries must have doubted Mizki's victory.

Then who made it possible?

What 'master' trained Mizuki to that point and to the point where he could deal with the danger to his life?

"I'm sure, His Highness Elshon's knights train Mizuki every day. In the name of training with a guardian, I teach him how to survive in action, until he can meet alone. I'm afraid I overdid what His Highness Elshon instructed me to do. But I don't know if that's normal for them."

Both for Mizuki's sake and for his use as a force in the event of an incident, both would be correct. All Mizuki is said to be many things, but enough with those knights, he is a 'nasty creature'.

A different world is a civilian. A being who worries because even common sense is different and still has to learn the art of living in this world.

Why do we want the same level from such creatures as ourselves? Absolutely, that's crazy.

And Harvis crushed their pride to pieces of wood. I just can't do it.

"Most people are magicians... wary of Mizuki, but those knights are probably too. Ning Ro, the nature of those who are in the aristocratic class is extraordinarily poor. Behind Mizuki's actions, I guess he's been doing a lot of things."

Speaking calmly beside Schanze, Rafik was feeling something cold flowing down his back.

Rafik, who is not good at battle, and for the Lord Shuanze, would strip his fangs to his enemies with everything he has. As a loyal minister it is a natural action and a cliché that Rafik himself holds.

But those knights are more than usual. 'For what they call [the worst sword], serenity' is outrageous! Hiding in the shadow of a magician, in the back, what the hell were you doing?

It's the environment that has surrounded me so far that Schuanze noticed it, and the part due to his natural talent, is huge.

While in the position of the so-called 'weak', he has stood around without letting them use him. Normally, this should be quite difficult. There was no way he could have been more incompetent than through such a situation. Hardship breeds people.

… but because of it, Schuanze was suspected of having "blood starch" for a time.

Let Schanze say, 'As far as my parents, who are only fools, I just stood around desperately to avoid being used'. On the surface, however, he remained calm and therefore tended to be seen with strange eyes as a child.

In addition, the real parents, Brother Wang and his wife, did not take refuge in their unmistakable sons, so the unusual differences of Shuanze emerged.

Nothing in particular happened after that, so in the end he settled in the direction of 'Prince with Bad Feet'. If I hadn't grown up here, Schanze's rating would have been different again.

For the record, Schanze has called the very brief period of her parents' love a 'stain on her life' out.

Shuanze is now completely a gray cat of the same kind as a black cat, but for once, a childish time also existed for him, or something that would be a "period of desire for affection from parents" from the general child.

I don't think I would have even lightly discerned Mr. and Mrs. Wang if I had given him a good love for that period, but it's all just speculation.

"Me and Rafik are going to Ilfena. Those three are beside Tezert. So even if Gania alerted Harvis from the information we got 'by chance', there's no choice, is there?

As we confirm, Schanze turns her gaze toward Rafik.

"Yeah, of course. In fact, His Highness Elshon was raided. I can't say bullshit or anything....... I will be inviting Tea to Dear Tezelto. It's no wonder the two of you are close to each other."

"Would you tell those three to come too? It's a corner opportunity, and I want to deepen our friendship."

When the opposing Rafik also nods to the word of the Lord and gives his consent, he speaks of the arithmetic for immediate passage through.

Among the Schanze, the visit to Ilfena and others is already a matter of decision. If you decide to do all of that at the discretion of the Schanze individual, then suddenly Harvis and Gania won't be able to rub it either.

For Gania, Harvis is a neighbor... they understood that we should avoid moving poorly and stimulating.

Well, for that matter, if anything happens to Tezert, I'll do my best to retaliate. The core people are just different, and Shuanze and the others are like Mizuki and the others.

I won't forget the gray cat and the favor they protected me from. Ning Ro, sneak relentlessly at the enemy.

I would provide toys to your friends (= black cats) and do enough to play friendly.

"Well, I'll go and come."

Schanze took the letter again as she dropped off Rafik, who was leaving the room in a courtesy. And hold your eyes to one sentence.

"'I want you to send me straw,' what the hell is that? Sure, you said you'd use it to make dolls. Mizuki is good at cooking, so no wonder he has a puppet making hobby... he's got a lot of cute hobbies."

Not knowing the truth about "Straw Doll," Schanze tilted her neck. It wasn't until he went to Ilfena that he found out it was "a super famous and otherworldly [curse]," as opposed to "a lovely hobby".
