“I’m an ally. Open the gates.”
Clearing out the enemy troops, I arrived at the place where the Lady Empress was.
“Mihara. It appears that you have been on good terms with the Lady Empress ever since a young age. Very well, please enter.”
“Many thanks.”
Saying this, I rushed through the gate.
“Lady Empress, are you safe?”
“Kenta, you came?”
“Of course.”
This person is the very Lady Empress that I serve.
Today as well, a benevolent smile like the holy mother surfaced upon her face.
“This country doesn’t have long left. All of this is due to my lack of discretion.”
The Lady Empress mocked herself.
“There is no such thing. The country having kept going up until now is all thanks to the Lady Empress.”
“But with my power, I could not restore this country.”
What kind of words should I give to the discouraged Lady Empress?
“Kenta, I will die here. If I do, then this war should end.”
“Please stop. If a suspicious man were to come into power, then the people will continue to suffer.”
“Then, please run away. Because this is my fight.”
There’s no way I could do such a thing.
“No, I have chosen this place to be where I die. Please let it be near the Lady Empress.”
The Lady Empress made a face that appeared happy, and also sad.
“Very well. But please call me with my real name.”
“Yeah, MIHARU.”
