83-Episode 83: King Yu, Moyu





Serena, tell me more!
Well I understand...


 Me and Fee follow Selena. The girls are apparently currently fighting the Mystics. Mystics. They are now calling themselves the Revolutionary Army, planning and executing a coup d'etat within this kingdom. This act started the day before yesterday and the royal capital was instantly set on fire. Currently, this is still the one that has been extinguished, and it seems that Serena was the last person to come to check if there was anyone alive.


 The Knights have also split internally and more than half of them are in the Revolutionary Army. The remaining people are all people who have fallen out of the main force, especially the newcomers, and almost all of the old knights belong to the Revolutionary Army.


''So the ringleader is Alice...?''
Yeah. They've released an official statement. But I don't think that's exactly what happened. Perhaps Prince Oscar is the real mastermind behind all this.
That jerk of a prince...


 Prince Oscar. He's just an idiot who tried to set me and Fee up and failed. Come to think of it, he was also a mystic and tried to do something, but I didn't expect him to go this far.......as expected.

 Certainly, that a**h*le could have caused this disaster. But what did Alice do? The fact that Alice came to visit me that night was probably........related.

 d*mn! If I knew this would happen, I would........


 But even if you think so, no one knows what the future holds. It is impossible to see the future, no matter how genius and talented a person is.


And also, Dr. Alsufilla. Please listen with a clear mind.''
....
The current heads of the three noble families are all dead. And your parents are already....
Well.....


 Fee tries to fall to the spot, but I'm walking with him next to him, and I hold him firmly in place.

 I knew that Fee's parents were dead. The fact that my parents were dead was a heavy blow to my heart as well. I knew Fee's parents well, and they were both very good people. They were both good people with great personalities. And now they're dead? Also.........people are going to die around me.

 Fee then looked stunned and started walking again. When I left the center of the royal capital, there was no burning fire there. The burning was from the center to the northern part of the city, and the southern part of the city seemed to have already been extinguished.


''So........you're both dead.......''
Yes, sir. We've already collected the body here. But...
Is the deficit worse?
There are burns and damage to her extremities. Well you shouldn't look at it.
Yeah. But I have to make sure they're my parents. I'll at least see their faces.
Yes I understand.


 Serena, who was talking like that, also had a pained expression on her face. That's right. The head of the Brew family is Serena's father. And if the head of the three great aristocrats is dead, then Selena too.......lost her father.

 Serena and Fee. Both of them lost their beloved immediate family members. On the other hand, I wonder if my family is going to be okay. And besides my beloved vegetables are probably burnt to a crisp. I prepared myself for the fact that there was more to come.



 ◇


Here it is.

 I arrived at the Knights' dormitory. Right now, this was the headquarters of the front line, and the knights were sparsely present here. And among them were some familiar faces.

''Fred!
'Master! Back from the labyrinth!
What's going on...!
Let's talk about it over here. There is a member of the Order of the Holy Roses, the Heilich Rosen Knights.
"The Order of the Holy Roses, the Heilich Rosen Knights...


 The Knights of St. Rose "Heilich Rosen Knights". That's a title given to the ten highest-ranking members of the Knights. But come to think of it, it is. How did the Holy Rose Knights Heilich Rosen Knights get to this tragedy?

 All of them are specialists in combat, probably better than me if you just look at their combat skills.

 That's why it's like this.......I had a bad premonition as I went along.


''Hello. You must be Elwydd Willis. My name is Ardell Belz. I'm the seventh in the hierarchy of the Order of the Holy Roses [Heilich Rosen Knights]. You can call me Ardell if you want.
I'm fine with Elle, too. And the rest of you...
The rest of you are with the Revolutionary Guard.
I knew it...


 Ardell Beltz. He looked kind to look at. A soft expression and silky black hair. I wasn't interested in the Knights of the Holy Rose 《Heilich Rosen Knights》, but come to think of it, I heard a rumor that a young genius had been appointed to that position this year. Perhaps it was him.

 But even so........nine out of ten members of the Holy Rose Knights 《Heilich Rosen Knights》 had joined the Revolutionary Army. Considering that, one can understand the current devastation. By the way, me, Fred and Ardell are talking to each other right now. Fee and Serena are in a different place.

 And I realized while the three of us were talking. The remaining knights are strangely young.


''There are only young people left, though?''
'Master, as a matter of fact ... the older people have joined the Revolutionary Army. The younger ones, rather, have mostly stayed behind.
What's going on in the Order?
'No I was not aware of it at all.
What about Ardell? Did something happen within the Order of the Holy Roses, the Heilich Rosen Knights?
'No, not even me, especially.......everyone was very nice. And yet I can't believe that they would allow the King's people to die so much.
Well...


 The mystery remains. How did the revolution happen in the first place? Are you unhappy with the system? But for the most part, the kingdom was functioning peacefully.


''Come to think of it, the ringleader was Princess Alice, wasn't it? Is that an official announcement?
''I don't want to believe it, but it's true. I know that my master and the princess are close, but I can only confirm that this is currently the case. It seems that the princess's throne is currently occupied by Princess Alice.
'The next king, or in this case the queen... is that what the revolution is all about?
Given the circumstances, it seems likely that...
Well....


 The more I think about it, the more unlikely it is. I certainly don't know everything about Alice. Maybe what I do know is superficial. But I don't think he's had his eye on the throne all along, and I don't think he's the kind of man who believes in killing people. There's always something behind it I think.


''Elle-san seems to be thinking about it, but I also don't think this is Princess Alice's sole determination. I'm pretty sure there's someone behind it.
'Does Ardell know about Alice?'
Yeah. I've been in the royal castle a lot because of my job. But I can't imagine her staging a coup d'état and taking the throne away from him. Perhaps Prince Oscar was involved. This is the current consensus of the Knights. We should ride into the royal castle and take out Prince Oscar.
...and what happened to the king, by the way?
He was executed....two days ago, I believe.
'Well you're serious...'
Yes. All they have to do is sweep us off our feet and their revolution is complete. A victory is an official army. Victory is the sum total of everything. But we cannot tolerate such inexcusable things. We shouldn't give in to this atrocious violence, don't you think, Elle?
I agree with you fiercely. Our kingdom must not be overrun any longer. I want to be part of the front line. I'm not much of a fighter, but I'd appreciate it.
No, no. 'You're stronger than Fred, aren't you? This still makes Fred one of the best in the Order. You are welcome, Elle. Together, we will reclaim our kingdom.


 This is how I've come to cooperate with the Order.

 Absolutely no revolution I can't allow it to happen. Even if it is anyone's will.
