The Royal Capital of the Garlist Kingdom.

　In the villa of the Fomor family, somewhat removed from the glittering center of the city, there was a storm. It speaks with a flutter in its voice that is truly joyful.

"What a mess. Or perhaps it's just as well for a scoundrel like you. For every scoundrel, the sword he wields will eventually come back to him.

　The voice of the storm, Valerie-Brightness, relaxed every muscle in her body as she spoke. The voice of the storm, Valerie-Brightness, relaxed her muscles as she spoke. The words came out of his throat as many as he could.

　Her tongue was strangely smooth today, which was unusual for a woman who is not usually so talkative.

Isn't it possible that old age has finally set in, or that the alcohol has burned her head?

　His lips were full of harsh words, as if he were throwing hard stones. But oddly enough, there was a hint of familiarity in all of them.

　It was as if it was a sign of affection.

　As if to take in the gravel of Valerie's words and crunch them through his teeth, the scathing Richard Permiris, sitting opposite her, opened his mouth.

"Don't be stupid, Valerie. The only way I'm going to age is when this body dies.

　With a large bandage on his abdominal wound, Richard smiles and speaks.

　The scars from the Battle of Sarnio were still visible on his body, but his expression of cunning and cleverness was still intact.

　The liquor that had been poured down his throat settled easily into his stomach. Richard's eyes narrowed in comfort.

　They had a few casual conversations. It wasn't exactly the kind of conversation that would bring them closer together.

　But that seemed to be their normal conversation. They seemed to understand that this was the best distance between them.

"I can't believe I'm hearing you kneel on the battlefield.

　Valerie said as she poured herself a glass of wine. I don't usually pour myself a glass of wine, but on this occasion, I've told my servants to stay away from the room where we're sitting.

　After all, we are both very busy. If the dice don't happen to roll the same number, we won't be able to exchange a word.

　That is why, when such coincidences occurred, we usually shared a drink together. However, the drinks they drank were not the same.

　Richard responded to Valerie's words with a deepening wrinkle in his face. His voice sounded strangely buoyant.

I don't know about you, but neither do I. I've come to realize that at my age, I still have a fighting spirit. Ha-ha-ha.

　Valerie almost spilled a glass of wine in her mouth when she saw Richard talking about his regret. She felt a soft touch on her tongue.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

　No, it is true that he may be holding it in his heart, but he does not have the honesty to express it.

　That was a good thing for Valerie.

　What if, what if...? Valerie would not have known what to say to him if this scoundrel had sunk into a state of grief.

　In her panic, she might have even blurted out words that she should not have said. Unbeknownst to her, Valerie was relieved that she hadn't made a terrible mess of things.

　Looking at Richard's expression, she opened her mouth.

I'm pretty sure it was an outlaw who called himself Lugis. I've heard he's still running around quite happily.

　I'm not going to be able to return to Suzif for a while because of that, Valerii continued.

　Richard raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard the name and the words from Valerie's mouth. The wrinkles in his face deepened as he realized what Valerie meant.

　Richard had already heard what Valerie meant. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　The name of the person leading the army is Lugis, who was given the name of hero by the witch Mattia. In the kingdom of Garleist, he is abhorred and called vice itself.

　What Lugis is trying to accomplish in the eastern border is not clear.

　Is he just trying to show off with his troops, or is he really trying to come across the border in the dead snow?

　At the very least, it would be foolish to accumulate troops in the midst of deadly snow. But that doesn't mean we can ignore it.

　No matter what the reason, if you do not defend yourself by gathering your troops in the midst of an enemy, it means that you are no longer a nation. Even if they do not really spear each other and take each other's lives, it is necessary for them to stare each other down.

　So, Valerie-Brightness, who was supposed to return to the Suzif fortress as soon as she was ready, is still stuck in a remote room in the royal capital as a precaution.

　Not only that, but in a short while he was going to be given the task of defending the eastern border area.

　Richard's cunning eyes narrowed at the sight of Valerie, and he knew he was right. Valerie's lips rippled quietly as she made eye contact with Richard.

I'm just curious. What do you see as the enemy's goal? Do you really think they intend to invade from the border?

　Almost before he could think, Richard responded. The words even sounded like a taunt.

I wouldn't do that. Then he wouldn't either--he's a former student of mine. It's his favorite move.

　Richard said, his wrinkles deepening.

　Yes, as he did when he kidnapped the daughter of the House of Bardnick. Lugis had proudly used his troops as a diversion to achieve his own ends.

　It was his specialty to make things look daring and foolish, but to be clever and manipulative.

　When people are blinded by big things, they become too stupid for small things. Richard says that he knew this before he taught it to him.



　Valerie nodded with a sophisticated movement and urged Richard to continue. Valerie's heart took Richard's words in stride.

　Valerie knew that she was very good on the battlefield. On the other hand, she also knew that she was a person who needed help from others in other areas.

　That is why I wanted to be sure of what I should do. That's also why I'm here today.

　She had a lot on her mind, but Valerie believed that Richard's words were enough to convince her. Richard closed his lips for a moment and set the bottle down on the table.

　His fingertips lightly twirl his beard and he says.

I can't read everything. I know you want them to look east, but it doesn't look like the heraldry is ready for the west. Then it's people first.

　People. I know you want them to look east, but it doesn't look like the heraldry is ready for the west.

　Staring into Valerie's piercing eyes, Richard responded.

There's a thing, isn't there? There is one place in this country where the heraldic people are packed in like pigs.
