"--Well, let's talk about the biggest problem of all. Manion Reinbach possessed a magic sword, and the sword had the ability to take away the magic and physical strength of the person it cut. And the person who gave him the sword...

"They called themselves the people of Najaria."

　Clyde looked up to the heavens.

　He does so for a moment and then, with a loud sigh, turns a weary gaze on Sam.

"It's them, isn't it?"

"Did you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not. They have plagued this country for years."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had never heard of it.

　At least Sam had never heard of the people of Najaria from Jonathan or Günther.

　Nor had he encountered the people of Najaria when he and Ur were based in the Kingdom of Skye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He only knew of the existence of such a people.

"It is not surprising that they have been quiet for some years now. But it is a headache that they have started to do something again. And they even brought out a magic sword, what are they thinking?

"The people of Najaria are from the northern part of the continent. Why would they want to involve themselves with the Kingdom of Skye in the south?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam questions Clyde.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, the Kingdom of Skye and the people of Najaria should have no connection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They want this country."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that. But I'm not sure why ...... you want to live somewhere warm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's not. They want our kingdom, but they also hate us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I heard something similar from the people of Najaria themselves, but I still don't understand it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So are we.

　Just as Sam could not understand the claims of the Najarian people, neither could Clyde.

　The king sighs deeply.

"It must have been about a few decades ago. There was a great famine in the north of the continent and many tribes were scattered all over the continent."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aside from the major powers, a small tribe could not sustain a clan properly. It is a wise decision to flee."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam has never experienced famine, but it breaks his heart to think of those who have suffered the agony of not having enough to eat for so long, even in the past.

"......It's difficult, though, from the standpoint of a man who governs a country. Anyway, looking for a new place is not a bad thing. But it is not always possible to find it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's just the way it is, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. The people of Najaria have not found a new home. If that were the case, it would be a common story, but they didn't."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......What do you mean different?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you can't find a new home, make a new one. In other words, they want to take our country away from us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't understand why that would be the case."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can sympathize with the difficult circumstances.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But to rob a place just because it is there is the thinking of a criminal.

"I understand that the famine was the trigger and that you suffered. But to have the Kingdom of Skye taken away from us as a result, that's just too much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But we have not been enemies from the beginning. We once tried to accommodate those who fled famine, but they were thoroughly incompatible with us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean, incompatible?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Clyde prefaces his story by saying that he heard it from the previous king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"First of all, the people of Najaria are the best in terms of men. Especially the older men are the best, and the position of children and women before they reach adulthood is low, no different from that of slaves.

"I know you're at ....... Tribes with weird rules like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They didn't mind doing it in their own little world, but they forced their rules on the people of the Skye Kingdom."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's not something you do to the people of a country that has embraced you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed. They are arrogant to the people of the Sky Kingdom who have extended a helping hand to them, and they assault and violate the women of the Sky Kingdom as a matter of course. We could not accept such people. As a result, the Kingdom of Skye has banished every single one of Najaria's people."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought it was a foregone conclusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But they grew to resent the Skye Kingdom all the more for it. They think they were kicked out for no reason, because that's what's normal for them. Of course, other countries that have reached out to the people of Najaria have had similar results. They are out of control.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reality is that there are people like them outside of Najaria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even in the Kingdom of Skye, there are men who disrespect women and children, and vice versa, there are women who disrespect men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is an individual view, and it is rare for a whole family to be like the people of Najaria.

"I don't know why they are so obsessed with this country, but it's not good for them."
