The Returnee Noble Lady Attacks His Majesty the Dragon Emperor
The very next day, Listeard’s little sister was kidnapped.
Hadith did nothing because there was no particular request, and he was also not interested in the culprit. The day after, Listeard was mocked by Hadith.
Listeard didn’t even respond—perhaps he was also mocking himself, or he plain thought it was Hadith’s doing.
Afterwards, he led his own Dragon Knights and rebelled out of nowhere.
It was clear that the kidnapping of his little sister was part of the reason. Did he resent Hadith for abandoning his little sister? Or was that the price for his little sister’s freedom?
Hadith wasn’t interested in either. The consequence for betraying him remained the same.
Vissel asked Hadith to leave it to him, so that was what he did. However, Listeard’s Dragon Knights were well-trained. Moreover, he was riding a red dragon. The appearance of him flying in the sky on the front line must had been mysterious. Their morale was high, so it was hard to shake them off. On the contrary, there were also those who joined him due to his words.
“Do you think Hadith Theos Rave’s way is right?!”
“We’re not going to fight the Dragon Emperor. All we need to do is close his ears and eyes from those who trying to misled him with sweet words. We will reclaim the Dragon Emperor.”
Hadith had no idea what Listeard was saying.
However, many seemed struck by his earnest words, and the scale of the uprising only grew.
Even though those people had seen Georg’s demise, they still turned against Hadith. It seemed that people truly had the penchant for conveniently forgetting.
However, the Duke of Leirzatz had already turned his back towards Listeard. Without any support from the aristocracy, Listeard was gradually cornered by the overwhelming difference in quantity. In the end, the uprising was settled in less than a month and Listeard’s execution was decided.
“Her Highness Elynsia has issued a petition to lessen his sentence.”
“Unnecessary.”
What was she saying, now? She was still so kind, so helpless. Vissel nodded with satisfaction to towards Hadith’s blunt reply.
“The moment he turned against you, Listeard was no longer considered a member of the royal family. Being merciful is useless. It’d be a problem if an idiot tried to imitate him.”
“I thought they’d learn from my uncle’s case.”
“People are much stupider than you think, Hadith.”
“To the point they’d wage a battle they know they’d lose?”
Vissel made a slightly embarrassed look at Hadith’s words and changed the topic.
“It’ll be over, soon. You just have to watch from the balcony. Of course, yYou don’t have to do that if you don’t want to.”
“If he has any excuses, I will hear them.”
“He just said that, ‘you’re mistaken.’ That’s the gist of his claim.”
Regardless, Listeard’s red dragon never left the execution site. Rave was concerned, while people were concerned that the red dragon would start rampaging. They were hoping that the emperor would stop Listeard’s execution.
“I’ll witness it until the end. That is also an obligation of the emperor.”
“…I see. Well, thanks to him, the Duke of Leirzatz, who has been causing a fuss for some reason, has become quiet. It’s painful that the option I had prepared for you has been scraped, though…”
Towards his brother’s remark, Hadith raised his face.
I see. No wonder the proceeding has been so smooth.
—the Duke of Leirzatz had lost his insurmountable force the moment he was chalked up as a rebel. On the other hand, the supposedly more powerful Duke of Fairert was forced to withdraw spectacularly after his first move when he attempted to quell Listeard. The duke’s proud military facilities were destroyed. Vissel’s hands, which were backed by the Fairert, had decreased considerably because they were careless. They decided to deploy their forces piece by piece instead of properly mobilizing them.
Those who had turned against Hadith had crushed each other without any of them realizing.
With this, everything should be quieter…
Moving from the dimly-lit corridor to the bright balcony dazzled him for a second.
The sky seen from the balcony where the wind blew was deep blue. Clear skies with no clouds. It was said that the execution would proceed the moment the bell rung. But on such a day, what if it was mistaken for a celebration bell?
The execution site in the open space under the balcony was also surreal. A red dragon stood next to it while the steadfast crowd looked at the execution site with bathed breath. It was as if they were cut out of a picture.
It was quiet.
Perhaps because of the tranquility, the eyes were naturally on his traitorous half-brother.
Listeard had just straighten his posture and climbed on the execution site. He was wearing a ragged prison uniform. He wasn’t even tied up.
Hadith jumped over the balcony and landed in front of him whom was about to be beheaded at the execution table. Vissel, whom noticed it late, couldn’t give a proper warning.
Still, everything was quiet.
No, everyone was actually talking—“Why isn’t he tied?” “What if he were to run away?”
However, neither of those reached the eyes or ears of Hadith.
His half-brother bent his knees and stuck out his neck.
The half-brother who noticed the shadow of Hadith blinked.
Then, he frowned.
“I wonder if you’ve finally come to hear my complaints. How slow.”
“…”
Hadith didn’t want to hear anything. Despite that, he didn’t attempt to close his ears. He couldn’t.
Listeard, whom was about to die, had very gentle eyes.
“Did you hear them? The voices of those who are trying to save you.”
By merely seeing Hadith, whom only blinked once, Listeard seemed to have had guessed his reply.
“Use it well. It’s fine with me. In the end, I couldn’t choose between Frida or you.”
Listeard closed his eyes—in resignation, with satisfaction.
“But treat Frida’s body with care. She was a wise child. I heard she died of poisoning. She tried not to weigh me down. She fulfilled her duty as a member of the Rave royal family well, which was dying without weighing down anyone.”
“…Is that a complaint?”
“It’s a request, obviously. As for my complaint—”
Although he, the rebel, was about to be executed, Listeard laughed fearlessly.
As if he had succeeded.
“Let me tell you this—I’m two months older than you.”
Is that a complaint?
Before Hadith could inquire, Listeard’s head had fallen and rolled. The guillotine fell without a signal.
Cries, he couldn’t tell if they were screams or cheers, finally reached Hadith’s ear.
Blood dripped as it reached the tips of his shoes.
As if it had seen everything, the red dragon spread its wings and went up to the sky.
However, Hadith stood in a daze. He didn’t understand the meaning—
He knew.
Was it for my sake?
But the answer could no longer be heard. Even the inside of his chest was silent.
Did you truly say that for my sake?
Even the Dragon God of Reason, who didn’t understood love, had no answer for that.
“Listeard!”
Elynsia, who screamed, ran and embraced her half-brother’s head. She didn’t mind getting soiled by blood. She crouched and cried.
For some reason, Hadith felt envious of her.
“Listeard, why, there should have been some time left, so why—!”
“…Caskets.”
That was the only thing he could do.
“Older sister, prepare caskets… get ready for the funeral.”
“…Hadith?”
“We shall prepare for the funerals of Listeard Theos Rave, and Frida Theos Rave.”
Reflected upon Elynsia’s eyes, which were wide open, he didn’t know how he looked. The soldiers approaching to deal with the corpse was also confused.
But, if he were to leave it to Elynsia, all should be well.
Hadith flipped his cloak, kicked the ground lightly, and returned to the balcony.
Vissel was there.
“Hadith, what are you talking about—”
“Prepare for the funerals, now.”
“What? Why would you want to bury Listeard? He was a rebel, therefore he was executed…”
“Why did the guillotine fall before the appointed time, older brother?”
Vissel shut up. The bell hadn’t rung yet. Listeard should still be alive.
Hadith should’ve had time to hear the answer to his burning question.
“That was… probably a mistake, or due to a poor inspection of the equipment?”
“This can’t be considered an execution, then. He died in an accident. What are you dissatisfied about?”
“…”
“Bury my brother Listeard, along with his sister—this is an order.”
He looked straight at his older brother.
Hadith thought it was for revenge.
So, it turned out, Listeard risked his life to voice his complaints.
“If you think I don’t know anything, you’re sorely mistaken, older brother, Vissel.”
Why was Listeard’s little sister kidnapped? What for? Why did Listeard rebel?
Hadith knew. Hadith knew everything—
—with his little sister abducted, Listeard was ordered to betray Hadith. That was what he did. Trying to not weighing down her older brother’s, the little sister died of poison.
He knew everything.
Despite so, no matter the reason, betrayal was betrayal. There was no mistaking it. Even Rave wasn’t denying that. That was why, Hadith was alright with everything.
Betrayal—that was all that was there to it.
But what was Listeard complaining about?
“Stop whining or I’ll kill you.”
As Hadith leaned closer to the point their noses had almost touched, Vissel shut his mouth. Hadith glanced coldly as he walked pass Vissel.
He walked a little down the hallway to the high bridge tower.
A figure of a dragon could be seen flying far away amidst the wide blue sky. It was Listeard’s dragon. Rave appeared and muttered.
“It stayed by his side until the end.”
“That’s right.”
“The dragon left his Dragon Knights to come to his side, just like that.”
“Even though neither you nor I ordered for anything in particular.”
The dragons were the messengers of Dragon God Rave. Each had its own will, but if the Dragon God or the Dragon Emperor were to order it, it’d eventually obey. It took only a single command from Hadith for Listeard’s Dragon Knights to be destroyed.
The dragons would never obey those who lied to the Dragon God and the Dragon Emperor.
“How human-like—is all I can say about it. Otherwise, that dragon’s betrayal wouldn’t make any sense.”
“But I don’t believe it. I don’t believe in the words of a traitor.”
Be it the older brother who didn’t want him, or his dragon—Hadith didn’t believe in any of them.
“…Let’s find my wife quickly, Rave.”
Suddenly, such a feeling emerged.
Rave’s eyes widened as he smiled.
“I haven’t heard you say that in a long time.”
“Isn’t that so?”
“You’ve been sporting a haggard look all the time, lately. You barely even cook.”
“I was busy with my uncle’s case, I had forgotten.”
“Don’t forget, because it’s important.”
“That’s right, it’s important for me to find her soon—”
Soon, while he could still laugh, please—
Before he were to start crying, hurry up—
