　I asked Eiri to look after Eva and Lucas left the house, and we met up with Fegnis and the four knights who were waiting for us outside the boundary.

"Usato-sama, where should we go now?"

The curse is near the throne. The curse is located near the throne, so let's move closer to the throne. Mr. Fagunis, would it be all right if I ask you to show me the way?　Actually, I'm not sure how to get to ...... the throne. ......"

"...... understand."

　When Mr. Fegnis came up to me and Master Lucas, he gave instructions to the knights behind him and they started walking toward the castle with him in the lead.

　We entered the castle through the warding garden and walked along the passageway illuminated by the lights of the magic tools.

"Usato, it's a little late to ask this, but what does ...... the curse look like?　Eiri told me about it, but it's too abstract for me to understand at this point.

"Yes, ......."

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

　I looked at Eva with a sideways glance at Mr. Lucas's question and then thought back to last night.

　The skeletons were ...... simply put, skeletons with only the upper half of their bodies, with collars around their necks and chains extending from them.

"Poor souls in chains......?

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

"Chains, is that the curse the sorcerer has placed on us?"

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

"Perhaps, yes. They want the living bodies of Eva's ...... Samaritan royalty. Their resentment is so strong because they were deprived of their lives for selfish reasons, and at the same time they want to be free from the curse that binds them to the land of Samaria for hundreds of years. These two wishes have muddled together and Eva is now in this state. ......"

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

　When I said these words, Eva looked sad.

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

"Poor people."

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

"...... I guess so."

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

　I said the same thing as Nair, but in her case, it has a different meaning since her life is in danger from those poor people.

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

　I guess it's her kindness that she still feels sorry for me.

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

"One last thing. This is what I found out while I was fighting them, they were looking for a brave man. If they could capture a brave man, their souls would be freed and they would be free.

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

"Will that set you free?"

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

"I don't know. But if that happens, there is a strong possibility that I, who am mistaken for a hero, will be bound to Samaritan and Eva will disappear as well.

"......"

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

　Master Lucas, his face contorted as if he didn't want to imagine it, reasserts his hold on Eva.

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

"Hmm?　Wait a minute, you may have extraordinary power, but you are not a brave man. Why did the curse react?"

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

"That's ......"

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

　Are you sure?　I'm saying this in his presence.

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

　Nair told me not to stir things up until we go destroy the curse. ...... No, the opposite is true. I have to say it here.

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

　I show Master Lucas the small sword at my belt.

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

The reason is this.

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

Usato, why do you have that?

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

"......"

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

　Mr. Lucas looks astonished.

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

　Seeing his reaction, I call out to Mr. Fegnis, who is walking in front of me.

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

"Mr. Fegnis, I told you before, didn't I?　This is an out-of-this-world sword."

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

"......Yes, indeed."

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

"Ha-ha-ha. Hey, hey, hey, Fegnis. Did you give it to him?　Usato may be a trusted guest, but he's not from this country. And it's unheard of for a man to return a weapon in a castle.

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

　Mr. Lucas laughs as he talks to Mr. Fegnis, but he still doesn't look back at him.

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

　I turn to Mr. Lucas again.

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

"Master Lucas, let me check. Is this the knife you authorized me to give you?

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

"No, no, but ......?"

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

So I can return it without your permission?

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

"I trust you, but Eva is nearby. I trust you, but Eva is nearby. I can't just give it to her without permission.

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

　In other words, Mr. Fegnis is acting on his own.

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

　...... should be on the lookout. The knights around us can't be trusted if they work for Mr. Faegnis.

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

Sir Lucas, please step back.

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

Hmm? What's going on?

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

......

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

　He stops Mr. Lucas with his hand and stops his footsteps.

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

　His eyes never leave Mr. Fegnis, who has stopped as we did.

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

"Usato, aren't we going to destroy the curse now?　What the hell is going on? ......

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

"The situation has changed. Please hold on to Eva tightly, because things could get rough."

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

　Slowly and cautiously, he backs away from Mr. Fegnis and the knights.

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

　The knights seem to be upset, but I can't tell if it is because of my behavior or something else.

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

"Please stay away from us, too. If you approach us, we will beat you up without question.

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

　He doesn't take a stance and only uses words to threaten.

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

　Still no hostility toward the knights. The only clear suspect now is Mr. Fegnis, who still turns his back on us.

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

"Usato-san, are you okay ......?"

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

　Eva, who was standing behind me, spoke to me uneasily.

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

　I reply as gently as I can without looking back.

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

"Yes, don't worry. No matter what happens from now on, I will protect you and Mr. Lucas.

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

　In truth, it would be better if Nea were wrong.

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

　But if Mr. Fegnis is doing what Nair says, I can never trust him to have my back.

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

　That's why I'm going to find out now if he's a friend or a foe.

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

"The suspicions I have about you now may just be a mistake. I wish I were, too, but my suspicions are deepened by what Mr. Lucas just said at ......."

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

　Why did he return the knife to me without permission?

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

　It was unusual. Even if I was recognized as a trustworthy person, it's not normal to give swords to someone in a castle.

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

　Especially when I was near Eva, the princess.

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

Why did you give me back the sword?

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

"......"

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

"Perhaps you understood more deeply than Lucas-sama about the curse of the evil dragon and the heroes ...... no, the curse?"

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

"......"

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

"......If we assume that you know that and you returned this to me: ...... you were willing to let Eva fall into danger?"

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

"......"

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

　Silence on all questions.

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

　Even Lucas and Eva, who had been sent to the back of the room, seem to have finally grasped the situation and are holding their breath, muttering in disbelief.

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

"Did you give this to me on your own initiative or did you really give it to me out of kindness? If you don't make that clear to me right here and now... I can't trust you.

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

　He says this with his eyes downcast.

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

　Then Mr. Fegnis put his hand over his eyes.

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

"Before that, may I ask you a question?"

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

"What is ......?"

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

Is it real?

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

"......"

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

　I think we've established that. The fact that Mr. Fegnis wants to know the identity of this small knife, rather than words to prove his innocence, is because he has a reason and value enough to ask it.

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

　I thrust the small sword in my hand forward and open my mouth.

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

"This is a sword that was handled by a true hero.

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

"......!　......Kuku,KukuKuku."

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

　Mr. Fegnis' shoulders tremble as he turns his back to us.

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

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!　I see, I see!　I was right after all!"

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

　I was horrified to see him laughing with joy, unlike his previous calm and polite appearance.

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

"At first, I was only speculating. The sword he was handling!　A sword that had been missing for hundreds of years, I never thought it would turn up like this. ......!"

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

"Usato,...... am I ...... dreaming?"

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

　Master Lucas is shocked to see Mr. Fegnis in a different state of mind.

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

　Even I, who only saw it from the sidelines, could see that there was a solid relationship of trust between Master Lucas and Mr. Feknis. It must have looked strange to Mr. Lucas to see Mr. Fegnis, whom he trusts so much, laughing like he has lost his usual calmness.

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

"No, Master Lucas. This is not a dream."

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

　Now Mr. Fegnis has a negative side that even Mr. Lucas did not know.

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

　Now that he has been revealed..,

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

"Mr. Fegnis intentionally set the curse in motion. He is our enemy."

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

　I clench my fists and glare at him, still exultant in front of me.

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

　He is shaking with joy and doesn't seem to care that we are upset.

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

"That's great, ......!　My family's long-cherished dream finally comes true!　A man from the same hometown as the hero was chosen!　And in my generation!　I've never been so lucky!

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

"My family, or ......"

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

　Not the king who tried to bind the brave to the country .......

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

　Then there is only one answer.

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

You are the descendant of the sorcerer who tried to cast a spell on the brave?

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

Yes, that is correct. Yes, that's right. You are a man of valor. You have a wonderful eye.

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

　A sorcerer who was executed after his magic was invoked.

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

　According to Lucas's story, only the king of the time was enchanted by the hero, but there was no way that a sorcerer who invoked magic with sacrifices could be ordinary.

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

　There was another who had been seduced by the power of the brave.

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

"Hey ......, don't tell me ...... you're ........."

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

"I was not deceiving you. I was not learning magic just because I am a descendant. ...... If I may say so, my father kept telling me about the greatness of the heroes since I was a child."

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

　Mr. Fegnis turns around after saying this to the astonished Mr. Lucas.

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

　His face, eyes wide open and teeth bared in a smile, was a look that could not be imagined from his usual calm and collected appearance.

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

"Our family respects brave men. Because we respect them, we want them to be the hope of Samaritan. It is for this hope that we have kept the curse alive. And then, in my generation, you appeared."

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

　Mr. Fegnis pointing at me.　

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

"Master Usato, you are the one this kingdom needs. You carry the sword of the brave, and you stand against the curse. You are worthy of the name of hero.

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

"...... I am not a brave man."

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

"But I have the qualities. It is true that the curse reacted to your sword. But it was your power that overpowered the curse and even pulled it away from the princess.

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

　You saw me fight with the curse.

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

　I guess I was lucky that she didn't know I was talking to Nair and that I was using magic on her.

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

"And the curse successfully recognized you as a brave man. ....... If you had been an ordinary person, easily trapped, I would have waited for the next brave man to appear. But you showed your fighting spirit and fought!　To save the princess!　What would you call this if you did not call it noble?　I'm convinced!　You are absolutely necessary for this kingdom!

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

　His voice got louder and louder, and I felt a bad sweat.

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

　He is a fanatic. He is seeking only his own purpose without considering the damage to others around him.

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

　So this is the true nature of Mr. Fegnis. I can't deny that he's gullible, like Nair said. I wish it was just a bad guy who came out of the woodwork.

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

　But this guy doesn't think he's evil. That's what's really bad.

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

"Why ...... why ...... why ...... fegnis."

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

　A very upset Mr. Lucas asked Mr. Fegnis with a tremor in his voice.

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

　Hearing these words, Mr. Feknis calmed his agitated feelings and smiled softly.

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

"My king. I have done nothing wrong. He is what Samaritan needs. For the sake of this country, I have decided that he should be bound by a curse.

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

That is not for you to judge!

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

　Mr. Lucas shouted at Mr. Fegnis, raising his voice.

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

　He is in shock that Mr. Fegnis, whom he trusted, has betrayed him.

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

　It is understandable that he cannot keep his cool.

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

"Did you know about the curse?"

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

"Yes, it is our family's duty to protect the curse.

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

"......ッ"

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

　Master Lucas looked a little hesitant before continuing with his question.

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

"Were you able to save Eliza?　Knowing the curse that even the royal family had never known, didn't you know the means to ...... eliminate that curse?"

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

　Mr. Fegnis did not argue with these words, only a sad expression appeared on his face.

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

"I was also deeply saddened by what happened to Lady Eliza."

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

　...... What the hell, that's...

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

　The attitude and expression on her face as if to say that Eva's mother's disappearance was inevitable.

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

　I wondered if Master Lucas felt the same way as I did, and his hand trembled as he held Eva in his arms, and he raised his voice.

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

"...... Is that all?　You, who were the closest to me,......!　You who watched her life disappear!　You who knew everything and just watched!　Don't play with me, Fegnis!　Eliza was murdered by a zealot blinded by valor!　You stole the mother from this child!!!!"

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

"Curses are not evil. They just want to be freed. If you are bound to this land, your captive souls will be freed. And they will forgive the royal family of Samaritan and the curse will disappear. All will be well."

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

"I don't give a d*mn about that nonsense!　What about my daughter?

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

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.

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

　Eva's hands tremble as she grips Master Lucas's clothes.

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

　......This man is definitely not compatible with me.

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

　Just the fact that he's smiling so faintly in front of me right now gives me the urge to wipe him out of my sight.

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

"Ah!"

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

　Don't let your ...... emotions get the better of you.

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

　You shouldn't have to fight.

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

　Clenching his fists tightly, he desperately suppresses his emotions..,

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

"O king, don't think so big about breaking the curse. The princess is a necessary sacrifice for the future of Samaritan.

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

"Oh?"

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

　---But with those words, I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer.

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

　What did he just say?

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

　Did he just say "necessary sacrifice"?

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

　Of all people, he's abandoning her with such convenient words?

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

"If you're going to put her through any more pain, let's just leave her happy..."

　I silently punch the stone wall that was within my reach.

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

　With a loud bang, a large crack appears and the window shatters. With that, Mr. Fagunis shut his mouth and put his hand on the sword at his waist.

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

"You're still happy, aren't you?"

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

"......!"

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

　His voice is surprisingly low, and Mr. Fegnis and the knights around him shudder as they lower their heads.

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

　I don't care if he's a knight-errant or not.

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

　I tried to convince him to cooperate with us, but that's enough.

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

　That fool who says it's a necessary sacrifice, he'll never be the same after you beat him up, will he?

　I'm sure I have an angry look on my face right now.

　Just as I was about to clench my fists and advance toward Mr. Fegnis without question, a voice from behind me stopped me in my tracks.

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

　I looked behind me and saw Mr. Lucas with a surprisingly calm expression on his face.

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

"Thank you for getting angry with me for Eva's sake. But I have to answer for this.

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

"...... sorry, I couldn't stay calm."

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

"Ha-ha-ha, it's okay. To be honest, I was almost furious too, but thanks to you, who was even more furious than I was, I was able to keep my cool. ......I'm so glad you're on my side. I am so glad that you are on my side.

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

　He cools his head at Master Lucas's words and shifts to the side so that he can get a good look at Mr. Fegnis.

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

　Holding Eva up in his arms, Master Lucas slowly took a step in front of me and began to speak in a strong tone of voice.

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

"Fegnis. I did not become king for Samaritan. I became king for Eliza. I became king because of her. I became king because she told me that she loved this country. So, when she disappeared, ...... I was not supposed to be king."

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

　Master Lucas' gaze turns to Eva in his arms.

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

"But she was born. I knew that a hard fate awaited her, but I am so glad that she was born. That's why I decided to do my best as king once again for her sake. I hoped she would smile like Eliza. I hope she will be happy in this country.
