"O-o-o-rae!　Lasse-Tamer!

General Frieda was furious.
It was because of the other day's fire cordon.
General Frieda was heavily criticized by the nobles for setting up the cordon without the king's and ministers' permission, and even for not giving any explanation.

However, General Frieda was at a loss to tell the truth, but Merck's quick thinking led him to explain that it was an emergency measure based on information from the special forces that had been guarding Lasse in the town of Dexi that the magical treasure had been stolen by someone and that the culprit had escaped into hiding in the direction of the capital.

It was actually General Frieda who ordered the the theft, and managed to cover up the scandal that the hired thieves were actually spies of the enemy.

In fact, the spy was forced by confession magic to confess that he was a spy for the enemy and was hired by General Frieda to lie about his identity in order to obtain information.

This confession magic had not been investigated by a wizard of the knightly order, but was forced to confess by former general Maldo's protégé.
Due to its nature, confession magic is considered a state secret, but it is an open secret between nations.
Naturally, countries have taken measures against the truth-telling magic, and nations continue to develop more powerful truth-telling magic.
Former general Maldo was able to remain a general for so many years because he continued to develop such technology in secret, without his political enemies knowing about it.

However, if it was revealed that his own general had been involved in such scandals, not only his political enemies but also the neighboring countries would have a great opportunity to get in touch with him, which could not be made public.
Thus, General Frida's head was tied in a piece of leather.

But after years of making enemies through political strife, General Frida's political enemies attacked him on a moment's notice.
His requests to find his kidnapped sons were ignored on the grounds that they were the prodigal sons' indulgences, his disregard for accountability that should have taken place immediately after the cordon was set up, and the outrageousness with which he had used his position as a knight commander to date were all pursued.
　The aristocrats have demanded that General Frieda step down from his position as general, or resign, as he is not competent to take charge of the defense of the country.

He was under siege when he was rescued by the king.
The king waited for Commander Frieda's resignation, saying it would be impossible to find a man who could immediately unite the order even if he were to resign as it was now.
But as a substitute, he offered a condition that former general Maldo be reinstated to the order as a counselor, and the nobles accepted the king's order.
That is to say, they had a chaperone recommended by the king.

General Frieda had a rough time of it, as she could no longer do as she pleased.
He even doubled the amount of sweetness he enjoyed at teatime.
He summoned the cook of a high-class restaurant and ate the finest food and wine.
He did not indulge in women's games because he was afraid of his wife. He was a fearful wife.
Maybe he was looking for an outlet for his family's stresses in political strife.

And there was one man who was the victim of General Frieda's selfishness and temper tantrums.
It was Lasse's friend, Merck.
He was assured of his position in the order by ingratiating himself with the leader, General Frieda.
But now that General Frieda had been thrown out of the political fray, his position had become very tenuous.

(Nothing is more foolish than to continue riding a sinking ship. Will this be a good time to join the other factions with General Frieda's secret information?　(No, it's not worth much information on General Frieda now?

Merck calmly judges that his boss's value has already been reduced to an infinite zero.
But that means your value has plummeted as well.

I have to find out who the next Commander of the Order is and prepare the information and things he wants.

　Merck was already planning to flirt with his new boss.

"You hear me, Merck?

"Yes, that's how General Frieda will come back again.
　Merck formulates a strategy while letting his boss's complaints play out half the time.

(If you're in the character of General Frieda, you can read her next statement at ......)

"If you know what you're doing, get on with it!

(This is it.)

"Yes, sir.

　Knowing full well the character of General Frieda, who does not care about her, but expects her subordinates to be competent, Merck, fortunately, left the Commander's office and began to try to prolong his own life.

　.

"Do, Mr. Dryad!

Oh, Edil, you're .......

"Ha, yes!　It is edil!

　Edil had come to Gen. Maldo's mansion in the name of thanking Lasse for saving them.
　When he entered the grounds of the mansion, he saw the dryad relaxing in the courtyard and immediately ran to her.
A thank you to Lasse is just the tip of the iceberg. His purpose was nothing more than to see the dryad.

I have come to thank you, Lord Lasse's squire, for saving my life in a dangerous situation!

　Speaking with the dryad, Edil was very nervous and I'm sure his men would laugh at him if they saw him.

I've heard of you. I heard that you stopped a bandit from stealing the magical treasure.

"Yeah, yeah!　We didn't have the numbers of spies, but they were cowardly enough to use their demonic powers to get at us!

Although Edil tells his own saga, he does not realize that he will definitely be punished if his superiors find out about it.
A weapon that utilizes the power of the devil is a blasphemy from the perspective of the church.
Even a new holy knight could understand that this was definitely something that had to be kept secret.
Love is blind.

But this is in no small part due to the fact that the dryad has the good looks of a forest girl who deceives men.
To begin with, the dryads are plant demons. There is no need for them to take on human form.
The only reason they take on human form is to seduce humans and feed them.
Humans are just nourishment for them to talk.

But that was their miscalculation, too.
They were born to mimic humans, but they grew up to be able to communicate with humans, so that they could seduce them.
As a result, they chose the people they seduced by their own will and loved those who fed them.

They loved them.
From there, everything was reversed.
Instead of being loved for nourishment, they wanted to nourish the man they loved.
And so the dryads began to look at no one but the man they loved.
They are a contradiction in terms of living things, but that is exactly the kind of thing that attracts men deeply.
Perhaps it was the amusement of a being who lived a long time ago.
　But there is no doubt that these women loved with all their hearts the person they decided to nourish.

　Through this process, the dryad became even more attractive as a woman, and was transformed into an entity that charmed every man she met.


　It is the birth of a woman who seduces men without knowing it, but has no other intentions than her true love.

Unfortunately, the bandit broke the seal of the devil and we were unprepared for it, and we were caught off guard. ......

　And while the dryads secretly think it's not important, the saga of Edil continues.
It's just a little bit of manliness.

But my training has certainly amassed the power of a holy knight!　Eventually it will be possible to defeat the demon alone!

Well, that's encouraging! (It would be impossible for you to struggle to the extent of your family members.

Hiding his true feelings, the dryad timed to break off the conversation.

"So, when I return to King's Landing after completing my training, I will be able to go to ......

　Edil pauses and pauses to pause.

Will you take me to live in King's Landing as my wife?

I'm afraid not.

　A dryad that says no to a crisp.

......

　The dryad slips past him, ignoring the brains of Edil, who is desperately trying to understand his immediate response.

"I've offered my manipulations to Master Lasse,

　Then, as the dryad entered the mansion to head down to his beloved Lasse, a man's shout rang out.

"My Lasse-Tamer!

　It was a sad underdog's howl.

　It was a sad underdog howl.

The magical artifacts found in the kingdom of Tendo appear to have been destroyed by dragons.

　The voice of an emotionless man in an undecorated room echoes.

"There he is again. It's annoying.

　There was more than one voice in the room.

"But he has many demons. We cannot be too careful, even if he is alone.

I know. After all, you have practically single-handedly defeated our country.

　For some reason, the man's voice sounds amused.
　It sounds as if you're up against a formidable opponent.

"The d*mnedest thing in the world is the dragon.

Why would a dragon side with a human? Just because a dragon is the natural enemy of a demon doesn't explain it.

Then let's find out. Let's find out the link between the dragon and the human. Who exactly is the Lasse-Tamer?

　The demon pursues the past of Lasse.
