※ It is Lucien perspective
The girl I helped is a strange one.
Like an old woman, she put hers hands together an said “Pick up …”
Being surely younger than Lucien, young like this … she acts like an old woman. That moment I thought about the word "Auntie Smell".
But I was saved because she did not cry, she was frightened and did not rage.
Even so, she probably is not scared. Maybe she cried and refused accepting the present situation.
If I think so, my sympathy for her has increased. It's a nostalgic feeling that comes out from the bottom of my heart with a little regret.
Looking down at her, she has white skin that has not been burned by the sun. Her flax hair is a color that is commonly seen around this parts. However, her eyes who have a strong reddish color are unusual.
Only the crested clothing that seems to belong to a prisoner is wrapping around her thin body.
The reason why we came to attack this palace … It is because of those who were killed in the forest.
“They were the victims of those who had done the art of contraindication …”
It is probably because of strange remarks.
In the beginning, the movements of monsters near the Order of Knights started to become strange. Then, a merchant brought a report. A monster appeared in a place which had never had monster activity.
Monsters that deviate from their common range of action, are highly likely to have moved to attack people. So when I moved the Knights and let them go to subjugate them, a strange dead body was discovered. The clothes that it was wearing didn't seem suitable to travel, nor we could find the baggage of the victim.
The only situation that could be thought of was the abandoning of slaves in order to turn off monsters. However, in the Scyra territory next to the Order of the Knights, there were no eyewitness testimonies of slave merchants and no disappearance incident seems to happen.
In another mysterious situation, another victim was discovered.
A knight who was exploring near the highway, in a place far from the one we found the body last time, found the remains of a dead body.
If this continues, there is a possibility that it becomes a big problem. We must not let those who are behind this remains hidden.
What I found was a quiet abandoned palace in the forest.
Far from trafficking people, the investigation results showed that the magic of contraindication was being used, so I toguether with a dozen of people from the knight order assaulted the abandoned palace from the sky. What was inside were magicians with the characteristics of the neighboring Tanastra and warriors who guard them. Although it became a battle immediately, several people fled because there were too many sorcerers.
Even while I tracked them, I also moved.
“Captain!”
I promised before that I wouldn't put myself in danger and would leave the job to the other knights, but before I was aware of it I moved with magic.
Just as I left the building giving chase to them, I found them trying to activate the technique of long distance movement, using the life of a slave-like girl.
I was just in time to save her but before I could ask her some questions……. she fainted.
“Captain Lucien, are you safe?”
A young blonde man runs to me. He is wearing the indigo uniform of the Order and it is the first unit ‘s Frey.
“I have no problem, is this girls‘s clothes the same as the dead?”
Frey asked me, while I nod gazing at the girl ‘s clothes.
“I think so”
“Protect her and listen to her circumstances, there is a person there who is just stunned unlike the others, let’s hear him.”
“I understand”
Frey who received instructions instantaneously raise the magician who was rolling near.
“Hey, get up.”
The magician swayed up and seems to have been absent because of a concussion, but eventually he realized that he was caught and trembles. But Frey inquired mercilessly.
“What sort of magic did you use here? Is it magic of contravention?”
“Ginkish … ….”
“If you talk about the content right away, I’ll keep from killing you.”
Magician responded murmuring after wandering his eyes like thinking slowly.
“Fusion of spirits and people … to create a witch …”
“Fusion with spirits!” Have you experimented with people the people we found coming back here? “
“If we buy a person we could be found out, … …. So we summoned from a distant country, but all of them failed …”
The mage that was talking suddenly suffered.
Black smoke came out from his mouth, he weakened and never moved again. Frey who confirmed the movement of the heart shakes its head sideways.
“not good”
“The mouth seal ……”
“Perhaps if you talk to an outside person about the case, it seems that everyone will be the same, it probably takes time to activate the magic … There is time … would you like ask for the continuation?”
When Lucien gave permission, Frey woke up the remaining magicians one after another who let out the information as much as possible.
Then when the last remaining magician died out, I found out the outline.
“They tried a fusion experiment with the spirit, but since there was the possibility of being found out if they kidnapped people, they abducted from another country with summoning magic …. Even if it fuses, they made mistakes and resulted in a failure or the people fused have no magical power. Then, they left them be eaten by monsters at a remote place, “
“That is what happened to the corpse we found, and this girl also”
Frey showed a sympathetic expression.
“She did well in survive…. this child”
“Definitely”
What it was done to her is completely unreasonable, such a thing as fusing with spirits. There is a possibility that the body collapses by mixing with a spirit because tremendous magical powers it has.
“It is because the magical powers of the spirits dissipated and it was not able to blend together that she is alive. “
It is doubtful that she can survive safely as it is.
As Lucien thought about this strange things, the battle in the building already ended. Other knights came.
“Lucien-sama! Why do you act alone!”
A young man who had tied a long black hair down to the neck, Ivar, came with a somewhat wrong expression. He had a somewhat nervous look which seems to be better suited for civil servants.
“What if something happens to you? You are the one who has the right to succeed the throne of this Arendal kingdom”
“Ivar, nowadays something like this is not a problem for me now, and the crisis has moved away from the kingdom as soon as it was pestered by the Shigel Knights at the end of Arendal, By doing so, some uncle will also be relieved. “
Speaking of Lucian, Ivar becomes an increasing bitter look.
“I do not know when and what time is there. Even His Majesty the King who gave me a deal to defend Lucian, I can not hold down Prince Eric ……”
Ivar, who served Alvaro duke since before, is enthusiastic about keeping Lucien out of danger.
“There are circumstances with my uncle … … Anyway this girl, I may be better to watch her. Prior to that, if it is a victim of magical contraindications, protection is necessary.”
“Certainly yes” Frey hugged the fallen girl.
“I just want you to manage some things while we protecting her”
“What is it?” Ivar asked.
“It seems that the fusion experiment with the spirit is being carried out, although it may have failed, I do not know what kind of influence it will have in the future”
“Fusion! It is also … ….” Ivar who heard about fusing now looked at the girl with pity. “But is it okay not to send her to the laboratory? If it is a difficult case it’s usual to leave it to them.”
“If you hear about spiritual fusions, you will not be able to protect your life”
“…. Yes, is not it a little too careful?”
Lucien thought so. But he can not help noticing. There was resistance to handling it as another person’s affair.
“Because the spirits are involved”
That said, Ivar finally showed a convincing expression.
Lucian seemed to be the most used to, up to now, to be himself involved with spirits. Otherwise, he would not have stopped sending her to the laboratory.
And even if it is pursued further, Lucien can not speak reliable grounds.
It is troubling to known the reason why, sympathizing without reason is something hadn't felt in a long time, it has become a nostalgic feeling.
“You will need to talk to the deputy headmaster. Please contact me.”
“We understand” Ivar sighs.
“I understand that the decision is dissatisfied, how long will that person repeat, … the Royal Knights are understanding, because it is the decision of his Majesty and the head of the headquarters, but he said that he will retire, withdrawing from it “
It seems that the cause of Ivar ‘s sigh was about deputy headmaster.
“His position will not change because his Majesty is not willing to retreat as deputy headmaster, and there is no other choice but to pray that he will correct his mood in the near future”
As Lucien, he had no choice but to answer.
It is not something that people can easily do so, such as understanding the feeling of others, even though others have changed.
