708 Episode 0708



In front of Ray's eyes, the debate against the White Rose Knights continued.
 Ray had been watching it for a while, but when he saw the discussion calmed down a little, he spoke.

"What they wanted was that Fritzione had ordered him to contact Mercurio. and they are now on their way to this position, taking the men who have attacked them."
"...sister Fritzione? I think it is natural to think that the arrival of the White Rose Knights was due to her orders... from sister Fritzione at this time of year?"

 a slanting Mercurio
 The possibility of contact before the civil war began was well thought out, but the civil war has already begun.
 The reason for this civil war... Fritzione had joined forces with Kabazid and Schles on the subject of Mercurio's detention.
 What's wrong with him now? It's only natural that he thinks so.
 By the way, it seems that even though my sister is an older sister, she doesn't have that much affection, perhaps because she is a half sister, unlike Vihela.

"I don't know what my sister is thinking, but there must be some reason given that she sent me her hand." If you think about it safely, I think you want to avoid fighting between brothers and sisters."
"...it would be normal for sister Fritzione,"

 He must have remembered his sister. Mercurio listens to Vihela and breathes a little sigh.
 A negotiated settlement might have been possible before blood was shed.
 But now civil war has broken out and fighting is taking place with the punitive force. Both the punitive force and the rebel force are already unable to retreat.
 That being the case, the reason why I dare to come into contact with you at this time of year...

"I suppose it's a surrender."

 murmured Tiyur.

"I suppose that Prince Fritzione wants to avoid further bloodshed."

 Teoreme agrees with Tiyur's words, and the two who know her sister's character nods to each other whether they have reached a similar conclusion.

"Well, you can see in person why the White Rose Knights were sent. So I'm heading this way, what are you going to do?"

 If you have any business to do, you can make a decision only after you meet in person. Gurgast nods and turns his eyes to Theoreum as he tells her so.

"I agree with Ray. If there is any prospect over there, there is no use in saying so here."

 The words are nodded by the aristocrats in the magic tent who agree with the group.
 Theorame, who had been looking at the surroundings, turned to Ray again.

"Ray, I'd like to ask you in person to see the White Rose Knights. Did the man who brought the story this time appear to be up to something?"

 Ray shakes his head at Theorem's words to confirm.

"As far as I could see, he didn't seem to be such an accomplished person. though he seemed to be quite skilled as a pure warrior."

 Ray's words have been met by two combat freaks, Vihela and Gurgast.
 Knowing what they're thinking, Teoreme and Ray continue to talk about it without worrying about it.

"Then you have no intention of harming Prince Mercurio?"
"My first impression is, though." But you don't mean to believe me and not give me a bodyguard, do you?"
"Of course,"

 an off‐the‐spot answer Theoreum
 In fact, if Mercurio, who is also the mikoshi of the rebels, loses his life, it means the destruction of the rebels... and of those who participate in the rebels.
 There was no way we could have messengers from our opponents meet our general without a bodyguard.

"I don't think it's a problem, then? They certainly seemed to be quite skilled, but I don't think they'd make any strange moves in a situation where we were all set up."
"... I'm sure. But there's a rainy day. I'm sorry, but I'd like Ray to be with me there, but would you mind?"

 Some people who have yet to see Ray's ability with their own eyes look displeased at the words of Theoreum.
 However, as long as most of the nobles nodded to it, it was impossible to say no.
 And as for Ray, the most important.

"No, I'll do it if I'm told to, but do I need it? We have Vihela and Theoreum, and we have Gurgast. There must be other hidden balls."

 This hidden ball is about the Mystery, but some of the people here may not have been informed, and some of Ray's words looked momentarily strange.

"Just be sure," he said. In fact, knowing that Ray is there can be a deterrent against him. Even if the White Rose Knights are up to something, Ray will judge that there is no point in setting up anything. Have you knocked down the men who were attacking the White Rose Knights?"
"I don't deny it. ... well, if I may say so, I have nothing else to do but eat, and I can help you. But as long as we cooperate, we will accommodate ourselves to dinner."

 Theoreum frowns slightly at Ray's words.
 This is because they see firsthand how much each and every one of them eats on their journey from the Kingdom of Milliana to the Empire of Bestia.
 If you let Ray and Sett eat whatever they want, the rebels themselves could run out of the rebels themselves.
 It's no use thinking so.
 Watching Theoreum and thinking about it, Ray shrugs his shoulders slightly and then opens his mouth.

"I won't tell you to have all the food on the rebel side. I'm just curious about what you're eating, so let me taste it. But if it's too much, it's better than that'said he.

 After a while, Ray probably decided that it would be better to obey him calmly here. Teoreme turns his eyes to Mercurio.
 Mercurio immediately nods, knowing what permission he is being asked for, without any particular verbal interaction.
 How much food do Ray and Seto eat at a time? I made the decision because I didn't realize it, but in this case it's not wrong.

"I have the permission of His Highness Mercurio, and I will do so. When, therefore, will the White Rose Knights arrive at this position?"
"Well, you said you were coming in a hurry, and it was about time..."

 muttered Ray, then. As if timed, one of the knights in charge of guarding the entrance entered the magic tent.

"Excuse me, Prince Fritzione's forces, the White Rose Knights, are coming to see him. I understand that you are understanding..."

 The knight turns his eyes to Ray for a moment and says so.
 The permission could have been expected to come from Ray, who had just entered the magic tent saying he had urgent business to do.
 And, in fact, it's right.

"Oh, I've heard of it. Let me through at once."
"Yes!"

 Theorame nods and the knight leaves.
 Mercurio, who had seen it off, soon opened his mouth.

"Well, that's why I meet with the White Rose Knights. I want anyone but my sister, Teoreum, Thioure, Gurgast, and Ray to leave the room."
'Your Highness Mercurio!'

 All the aristocrats raise their voices.
 Surely they didn't expect us all to be asked to leave their seats.Mercurio, however, speaks to these nobles without any compromise.

"As for the number of bodyguards, the one whom I have named now will be sufficient."

 It is true that the statement was true. With so many people on the defensive, no one in the neighborhood will be able to harm Mercrio.
 Furthermore, even the demon soldiers are secretly on guard.
 That would be a different story if you had the power of a spooky noise.

"No! Indeed, as for the bodyguards, as Prince Mercurio has just said. However, if you meet the messenger without many subordinates, you will be looked down upon."

 Mercurio smiles softly when one of the nobles says so.

"Low, if I may say so," As you know, I'm just the leader of the rebel army. I don't think there's anything low about it, and if they give me a low estimate, don't you think that's lucky for me?"

 The aristocrat heard the words and tried to speak more...

"The orders from His Highness Mercurio have already been given, and you must obey them."

 Theoreme interrupts the nobles.
 Some of the aristocrats looked displeased with the Theorem.
 But in the end, he probably decided that there was no point in saying anything more here. walk out of the tent quietly

"That's all right, Mercurio," I think some of them took that attitude out of their own interest, but some of them were genuinely worried about you."
"I understand what my sister means, for sure, but ... she's older than Fritzione." I don't know what you're going to me. and I don't want to be confused."

 the first princess of Fritzione His kindness is known, but his occasional outlandish behavior is rarely known except to his family and others who are very close friends.
 My sister went out of her way to send me a knight of the White Rose Knights, which was also under her direct control. There's definitely something. It wouldn't be a mistake for Mercurio to think that way.
 Vichela smiles a little bit, perhaps understanding it.
 Although Vichela fled the Vestian Empire a few years ago, it was not long before she forgot what her sister was like.

"It's the same,"
"Yes,"

 It's probably because there's a small group of people... ...that's because there's a whole bunch of forgiving people. Mercurio nods relaxedly.
 Ray himself didn't know if he was among the people he could forgive, but he could understand that he was not looking at me hostilely, though he was being watched carefully as far as he could see.
 After a short chat, the knight comes back into the magic tent.

"Excuse me. I have brought the White Rose Knights. We have already received information about the captives brought by the White Rose Knights."

 Behind him was Widale of the White Rose Knights, whom Ray had seen some time ago, and four of his men.
 Perhaps because the number of people in the magic tent was smaller than I expected, my eyes twitch for a moment.
 He may be assassinated as he is, partly because he has his weapons in his hands before entering here. You must have thought so.
 Nevertheless, they show no sign of fear, perhaps because they are aware that they are under the direct control of the first princess, Fritzione.
 But when we saw Ray waiting for us, our eyes fluttered.
 It's only natural that I saw with my own eyes how much combat Ray and Sett had.

"It's an honor to see you, Your Highness Mercurio. My name is Widale, the commander of the Third Corps of the White Rose Knights."

 Widale bowed and told me, but it was because he understood that this was the enemy's territory. I don't kneel down.
 So did the other four, who had left their weapons behind before entering the Magic Tent to meet Mercurio... or perhaps that's why they never seemed to be on their guard.

"Oh, I remember hearing from my elder sister before. I've heard that he's a brave and loyal man among the White Rose Knights. So what business has such a man come all the way to the rebels to say that he is hostile to his elder sister?"

 Widere, somewhat surprised that Mercurio knew his name, immediately pulls out an envelope.

"His Highness Fritzione told him to give it to his Highness Mercurio."
"...theoreum,"
"Huh!"

 Theoreum responds briefly to Mercurio's words and receives the letter Widale had.
 Theorem takes the envelope to Mercurio, who confirms that the sealed wax belongs to his sister before opening it.
 There were several letters in it.
 Look over it...

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

 a little... and then a growing roar of laughter.
 It's so funny that I can't help it. Such laughter would echo through the magic tent.
