Outside the tower, General Kimble rendezvous with the envoy of Count Cooper and head for Elias.
Along the way, I encountered the Kingsguard fighting in the courtyard.
"You're telling me that we're part of His Majesty the First King!"I am obediently obeying the evidence! "
"I know! That's why I didn't slash you!"
The Kingsguard, who seemed to be an Elias, and the Royal Army soldiers were fighting each other.
Although he surrendered quietly, he was still treated unfairly.
She seemed dissatisfied.
If not, General Kimble will move.
"Don't do this! Don't treat those who helped the Chancellor unfairly because you haven't been able to make sure that Lord Elias is safe!"
"Hah, I'm sorry!"
The soldier responds immediately.
But General Kimble's attention to them was not enough.
His attention was also directed to the Kingsguard.
"You too!" Even though we helped the Chancellor, we weren't able to stop His Majesty Jason beforehand, so we can't say that he acted as a close guard!I had no choice but to turn my gaze to the surroundings.Forgive and accept now! "
Huh, the General is right.
It was said that the Kingsguard Knights were not in a position to express their anger, and they obeyed General Kimble's words.
"We can't help but get emotional with each other now.But think about what should be the top priority.If you fight here, Lord Elias will be sad.Don't increase your effort anymore! "
General Kimble scolds with a generally majestic voice.
It was also a word of admonition.
If it was true, I wanted to hit the Kingsguard without worrying about my eyes.
But you can't do it yourself.
If I did that, the soldiers would attack the Kingsguard.
Of course, the Kingsguard fought back.
Unnecessary strife and chaos should arise.
The chaos may trigger the movement of the Jasonians.
It was time to prioritize the elimination of uncertainties.
I'm going to sigh at my men who can't take care of anything as simple as this, but no one can stay calm on the battlefield.
Plus, I'm doing a big job rescuing Elias.
The pressure was not comparable to a normal battlefield.
I thought it should be looked at with some seriousness, but I didn't say anything further.
General Kimble moves on.
The destination was not the private space of the royal family, but the warehouse.
"Hey, hey, hey."
General Kimble puts his hand on the sword.
I thought the man in front of me wasn't the Cooper Count's messenger, but the Jasonians were trying to trap him.
His entourage will be ready for battle.
However, you must have known of the reaction.
The messenger did not panic.
"Take them to an impassable place and assassinate the town of His Majesty the King."Isn't that what you think?You won't believe me when I say I won't do that.If you're uneasy, would you like me to show you some of my men first? ”
"... no, there's no point in setting a trap in this situation."Killing one of us doesn't change the course of things.Lord Enfield would have been different. "
“There's something important about this.I needed a place without a window..... "
"Window? Oh, yeah. To limit the direction of the raid."
General Kimble was convinced, but the messenger looked as if he had given up everything for some reason.
That makes General Kimble even more uneasy.
As they approached their destination, a large number of soldiers were on alert.
General Kimble de-escalates as he sees many known Elias commanders among them.
In addition, there were surprises.
"Did you even call the elves?"
In front of the armory, several elves were talking.
General Kimble knew about them.
Probably people working at the embassy.
I've seen it at the party venue.
"You've rushed to the throes of your Majesty!"No, or......)
General Kimble's heartbeat intensifies.
I realized other possibilities as to why they helped me.
- Elias's wounded.
--And it's close to a fatal injury.
Even though there was an Elias Kingsguard, he went out of his way to call the Elves.
There will be no other reason.
General Kimble is now on his way to the Armory.
This idea was boundlessly close to the right answer.
(Nevertheless, I will hide your Majesty in the armory.The Chancellor, or someone who's away, that's a good idea.)
The Armory holds weapons and armor.
Of course, it was impossible to be robbed by an enemy who had invaded the palace.
Both doors and walls were sturdy.
It didn't seem like a bad choice to hide them temporarily.
General Kimble notices the anomaly as he approaches the door of the Armory.
(Don't get cold...) Even though the sun hasn't yet risen, it's still sweating.If it's a closed place like an armory, you'll need some cooling.Perhaps the Elves are using magic for His Majesty's sake.)
Thank you very much for your help, Elves.
Express gratitude to the Elves who were next to the door.
(Maybe she used too much magic power.I'm sorry, but I'll thank you at a later date.)
But General Kimble thought positively.
They may look pale, but it's because they worked hard for Elias.
Then you don't have to worry about it.
Unlike when I saw the bloody room, I apologized to Elias for being "late," and I was reconsidering my best wishes for safety.
General Kimble! You're here!But it was a little late. After Uncle Cooper rescued me. "
Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you so much with the general.
{That's right. My attitude led to the departure of the Kingsguard.I have to be careful from now on. "
Elias's insensitive words were echoed by Jessica.
And with her attention, Elias listened with a serious face.
"I was too sweet on my brother.From now on, I will not just use my time for art, but I will also help politics. ”
Mills seems to have changed his mind to proactively help Elias.
Elias nodded reluctantly.
”You're a man who can do it.I'm counting on you.But is it okay? If you get involved in politics, you won't be able to spend time with your family.The kids would be cute, too. "
It's okay. Even if he is at home, he is still in the atelier, so he remains the same. Please don't hesitate to use it. "
Mills' wife exposes her husband's private life.
Elias laughed bitterly at this.
"Damn it..." Once I started painting, it wouldn't be the same as it used to be.On this occasion, remember to look beyond your hobbies.I'll use it so much that I don't have time to think about art.Jason's big wipe keeps me busy.You too, General Kimble.Give me a hand, please. "
Elias smiles and asks General Kimble for help.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
--Maybe there was such a future.
General Kimble clings to the ice coffin.
Elias, who was sleeping in the coffin, had no left arm.
Elias wasn't the only one.
There were bodies of Jessica and Mills.
All the royalty in the king's city was wiped out.
But it had nothing to do with General Kimble.
It was filled with the feeling that he could not be saved in his head.
I can't afford to think about the future.
But his men were different.
Jason is already dead.
Thinking about the future, my body didn't move.
“Go in or wait outside.Either way, close the door.The cold air will escape. Your Majesty's body will rot. ”
One of the Elves rushes General Kimble's men.
They hurried in and closed the door.
― ― Elias's body rotted.
In one word, tears began to spill out from the eyes of those who didn't feel real.
"General Kimble..."
Count Cooper approaches General Kimble.
There were no tears in his eyes.
Instead, there were traces of frozen tears.
"One more day. If only you'd come one day earlier..."
"Even this... I'm in a hurry."From Emerald Lake, it was a force that was supposed to move 5,000 soldiers in six days. ”
General Kimble's men, who were relatively calm, excuse themselves.
It was originally scheduled for about a week, but it took six days to travel.
It's not easy enough to say, "I just got here a day early."
Count Cooper understands that, too, and says, "Oh."
In Emerald Lake, you're still fighting, aren't you?It's dangerous to separate soldiers... "No, then why is General Kimble here? ”
At this point, Count Cooper wondered why the person in front of him had come.
Needless to say, General Kimble is a stronghold of the Royal Army.
I was supposed to be fighting, but I was wondering why I could be here.
"No way, by His Majesty Jason's order!?"
It can't be like that!
Bite off the tears, General Kimble answers.
As expected of the Chancellor, he was strongly denied because he was seen as a Jasonite.
"The battle in Emerald Lake ended in a day.That was the thirteenth day.Early on the 14th, we led an elite force to spawn to save His Majesty Elias!If you want to check, ask Baron Kirby.You'll be in the administrative division by now! "
"I see..."
It turns out that General Kimble is seriously sad and upset about Elias's death.
So Count Cooper didn't blame him for his words.
"In that case, we must discuss the past and the future with the general."His Majesty Elias is dead.His Highness Mills... now I have to wear that usurper as my king... "
What if that's what you were after?
Count Cooper's secretary replied, shaking his body.
It seems that there is something that comes to mind.
But it didn't matter to General Kimble.
"Jason sank to the bottom of the lake.You won't be called Your Majesty anymore. "
What are you talking about!?
For Count Cooper, there was no more stunning news from the past to the present.
It is the same for those around them.
― ― Immediate royalty was wiped out.
The news was enough to make us uneasy about the future of the Reed Kingdom.
