The person remained silent without any signs of impatience.
Pause for a while, and exhale. He put his hand on the mantle's head and dropped it on his back. Pathologically white skin is illuminated by torch flames. A delicate face, not quite similar to his father, became apparent.
"I want to ask you the other way around. What are you doing in this place, Your Highness Prince?"
Philipp said in a flat voice, as if he had just encountered the front of the hall. With no rush or fear, smile with a thin smile at peace.
I thought you were a mediocre man, but it was ridiculous. It is unusual to have a normal face in this situation. The men around me threatening this seem to be more decent.
"I was told I would return to the royal city, but I never thought I would meet again in this place."
"Oh, I didn't even want to meet."
I got off the horse, glancing at Philip.
Orcein also gets down the horse and stands next to me.
"I'll ask you again. What were you trying to do?"
Ask your eyes straight and ask questions. Philip did not look away.
But no answer is returned. Philip raises his left hand lightly. I waved with Sui to send a signal. The man behind him catches the signal visually and pulls one out of his quiver. The arrow was different from a normal arrow, and was wrapped with a cloth-like object first.
The man approaches the arrow to the torch held by another man. The cloth burned vigorously, probably because the cloth was soaked with oil.
The spine freezes in a flaming flame.
"Stop!"
Realizing what I'm trying to do, I roar.
However, the man did not show any worries, and he crossed the fire arrows. An arrow is shot in front of my eyes trying to run. A silent scream leaked.
Reach for the arrow that goes straight to the forest.
Not reach. The trail of an arrow running through the tail of the flame, like a broom star, was clearly visible.
The imagination of the trees wearing oil burning up goes beyond your mind.
Please stop.
At that time, my eyes were almost darkened in despair. The wind was up. No, someone moved as fast as the wind.
The blade that emits a dull color shines, and something shuffles. An arrow cut in the center was hit against the ground. There was a light sound with a currant sound.
"..."
The place calms down. The breathtaking sound of someone sounded loud.
Yurari. One beat behind his movement, the skirt of the mantle fluttered. Peeking through the dark hair, the long jet-black eyes reflect the flame and shimmer mysteriously.
"Sir Nahat"
"... oh, oh"
I was called, and I breathed in as if the spell had finally broken.
Orcein talked to me with a sharp gaze over the men.
"What should we do?"
The voice to ask is low and hard. I thought the shiny beautiful voice was somehow like a beast roar.
It feels like you are holding a chain that connects the beasts. While asking what to do, I felt told to order.
"... Please neutralize me"
At the moment, Orcein squinted.
The flame reflected in the eyes is so intense that it is incomparable to a torch. Oh, I finally realized he was angry.
"Understood"
Orseuin shook his sword lightly and ran low.
It is difficult to follow the speed of the wild beast, which beats the fastest from the moment you start running, not gradually.
Runs next to Philip and jumps in front of the man who fires his fire. Unable to understand what happened, the stunned man's hand was torn along with his bow. Fresh blood dances. He dropped the broken bow and screamed, holding his bloody, dominant hand.
Before the man beside him pulls his sword, Orcein swings his sword down. The man crumbled on the spot with a dull noise.
"Wow ah ah!"
Screaming like a scream, another man swings his sword from behind Orcein. However, Olssein immediately looked back and caught the blade with his back, causing his belly to take a strong kick. The man who blew off falls down involving the man behind him.
Slightly avoid slashing from the side and slash with a man from the other side. The steel scraped together and made a harsh sound. While catching the blade with his tsuba, Orcein hooked the man's feet up. The man who had neglected his feet fell without fear. Orcein steps on the man's belly with brute force. The man sprayed his saliva and gastric juice, and then turned his eyes off.
"Die!"
Orseuin strikes down the flying knife with a sword. He jumped back and avoided the sword that was swung down without a break. The tip cuts the soil. Orcein picks up and throws the fallen knife as if to prepare for his position. A knife with a sharp trajectory cut through the smoke and stuck deep into the man's shoulder.
Avoiding attacks from behind, Orcein puts a sword in between. Change the direction of the body, hit twice or three times, change the angle of the sword and slide the blade. He jumped up against his tsuba and dug his flank. The armor did not seem fatal, but the man fell on his knees and dropped the sword.
The remaining man was shivering with a pale blue face.
Orcein approaches the man with a slow step. He pulled his sword out of his quivering hand and threw it away, dropping his sword down on the man's neck. A large body leans and falls to the ground.
“…………”
I couldn't even speak.
The battle was over on one side, without being too foolish.
Orsein shook his sword like a bleeder and put it in a sheath.
There is no harsh light in his eyes as he turned back. I was reverently told that I was waiting, and I didn't know how to return it. Instead of waiting, I feel like less than ten seconds have passed.
It is a glimpse of why he is called a black lion.
His way of fighting is like hunting for wild beasts. It seems to be alive with no waste. It might not be the right expression, but I felt it was beautiful.
"There is a very strong escort."
Philip, who was left alone, glances at the fallen men and sighs.
"I didn't seem to have taken it at the time of the inspection, but where did it come from? ... Oh, it's just not going as planned anymore."
"Yes. I won't do what you want. Drop down calmly."
"... Is that really okay?"
Philip, who raised his hands lightly with the surrender, said meaningfully.
"What is it?"
"Grenze's epidemic has no silver bullet, and even the pharmacist of the Gearster family had no choice. If the sick were left in town, it would have spread throughout the city by now. "
It is tempting to nod to Philip's words, but he did.
No effective drug has been found so far. There is no guarantee that it will be there when you search all over the country.
"If we don't stop here, the disease will spread all over the country. No, it will jump across borders and spread all over the world."
"... Even if that is the case, you are not an excuse to burn the innocent people with the forest."
"Yeah, but it's your sin from now on. I will spread sicknesses around the world to prolong the lives of tens of people. I am confident that I can endure the sinfulness "
The lives of dozens of people? Or is the world peaceful?
I forgot how to breathe, because of the weight of the weighed scale.
I want to save their lives waiting in the village, but that's it. Does my act endanger the lives of innocent people?
Choose one and cut off the rest. What remains behind sinful selection?
If it's a ruler. I didn't want to be that if it were the role of the person standing.
I have difficulty breathing. My chest is about to tear.
Now, everything is about to spill from the hands that hold the important thing.
who.
who.
whoever. ask. Please. I'll give you anything I own.
Help my precious people, treasure ...
"Sir Nahat!"
"Well ... Orsein?"
I was grabbed by both shoulders and shaken. Her scary eyes shoot me through.
"Please do not be fooled. Hope still remains."
"... Where is it? I don't see it anywhere.
You can grab your hand to shake it off.
Orcein, who looked into me from the front, said in a strong tone.
"I have it. Even if I can't see it now, I'm sure. In my country ... No, the light of my hope never goes away."
Light of my hope.
What does that mean? Above me asking, I heard a noise.
A black bird is circling in the sky.
If you noticed, the sky was starting to whiten.
A piece of light leaks from the horizon in the east.
The sound of rattles and wheels echoed to my narrowed ears.
For a moment, I thought it was empty ears. But the small shadows are getting bigger and bigger. Approaching are several carriages.
He complained that noisy sound was not a phantom, even for large cargo wagons.
Why a carriage comes to such a place?
A carriage stopped in front of me, watching me stunned.
A person wearing a black cloak was sitting on the pedestal. Probably a young man. He stepped down and opened the carriage door.
"Princess is alive?"
"I'm alive! Why did you suddenly change direction?"
"The destination has changed.
The young man talked in a mellow tone and heard the girl's voice from inside. It was a pretty voice that was not suitable for such a remote area.
With the hand of the young man, the girl appears from the shadow of the door.
The wind at dawn shakes the undulating platinum blonde and sparkles. The girl with a clean face looked at her and opened her eyes. The blue eyes that seemed to fall were clearer than the sky at dawn and brighter in color than the sea on a sunny day.
Smell on the skin of Hakuseki. I felt as if I had witnessed the moment when a delicate doll was brought to life.
"Well ... Leon ...!?"
"Princess ...!"
Orcein rushes with a face that looks like a mixture of surprise and joy.
The girl also released her hand and ran to Orcein.
"Why, why is Leon here ..."
The confused girl tried to ask a natural question. But after shaking his head to shake off his doubts, he tightens his expression.
"Yeah, not right now, why not. Leon, did I make it in time?"
"Well, then Princess"
The eyes of Orcein shine. The girl nodded firmly, asking him to suppress his excitement.
"Yes. I came to deliver the medicine."
The moment you heard the word, a voice that made no sense leaked out of your mouth.
Unable to catch up. Now, did she say medicine?
Do you have any such convenient things? What a miracle.
The twisted voice of my heart is rushing to erase the growing hope. But his body was honest and his hands were shaking.
"Pharmaceuticals ... Did you say you brought medicine now?"
Ask with a trembling voice.
The girl facing me leans her neck. But as soon as he realized something, he became serious.
"Is your important one also sick?"
"Oh ... important, important people."
I remember the faces of the people who left my friends.
The girl gripped my hand, muttering as if biting. Eyes like jewels look straight at me.
"It's okay. Not only medicine but also excellent pharmacists are coming. I will definitely help your important person."
All right.
Absolutely help.
How long did you want to hear that word?
How long have you been waiting for?
"... Thank you, thank you ...!"
Warm drops flow down my cheeks that have squeezed out the trembling voice.
The girl was in a hurry, but the tears did not stop.
The light of hope suddenly appeared in the shape of an adorable girl.
