Crown Prince Coming to Light
How did things turn out like this?
There is no mistake that the ordinary people that happened to be in this ce were thinking that. Incidentally, I also thought that.
The armies of Leezelion and Valenshel, which were great world powers, shed in the middle of town. Was a war going to ur? is what they were probably thinking while trembling in fear. I was the same.
Let me say it again, how did things turn out like this?
「Oya? You are……This is quite the rarebination.」
After the blue armored knight that came leading the Leezelion soldiers, Leonhart sion, turned his gaze towards me, he looked at Iibsal and muttered that.
「It’s been a while, Leonhart. So you came leadin’ the army.」
「Yes. Thedy that originally should have taken the lead, was here after all.」
「……Hmph.」
Sylvia snorted her nose and turned away from Leonhart who made a smallugh. It seemed that she wasn’t sorry for anything.
「It has been a while, hasn’t it, 『Darkness Executioner』. To think that we would meet again in a ce like this.」
「……It’s the first time in three years, Leo.」
With a smile that would instantly captivate someone if they were the opposite sex, the pretty boy, Leonhart, looked at me. But unfortunately, the smiling face of a pretty boy has no effect on me. Or rather, since I know that this guy is ck-hearted, has a hobby of ying with and defeating others, and is a terrible guy who takes delight in people’s reactions to his pranks, it has no effect. This jerk, there’s no mistake that he is thinking about how he would mess with me underneath that sweet mask of his.
「Foolish older brother!」
「Oh?」
From the unit on the Vnshel side, a voice that was like a shout was raised. The one that destroyed the conversation mood was a darkish skinned, red-haired, sses wearing boy. He looked like his age was a year or two above mine.
「Ohh, and on this side is Luzrashil. So you were the one that took the lead.」
「All thanks to a certain someone that ran away without leaving a single letter about his leave behind.」
So Iibsal and Sylvia did something simr to what the other did.
……Still, this man called Luzrashil, he looks just like a certain someone……rather, just like Iibsal.
Inparison to Iibsal who one could tell that he was a muscle-brain from his macho muscle appearance, maybe because of his spindly figure and sses, he looked like he was extremely intelligent.
Their appearances wereplete pr opposites, but starting with their looks, they carried atmospheres that resembled each other closely.
Ah,e to think of it, he called Iibsal foolish older brother. So in other words, Iibsal and this person are siblings.
They’re siblings that have simr looks but have personalities that don’t seem simr at all.
「Nn……And who, are you?」
Noticing my gaze, Luzrashil red at me.
「Ahh, this guy is 『Darkness Executioner』.」
「This man is him!? ……」
Surprised by Iibsal’s words, Luzrashil approached me, and turned evaluating eyes towards me.
「……I am Luzrashil Dora Gregoria Vnshel. 『Darkness Executioner』, I have heard of your active roles in the rd Wastnd and in Lizwadia.」
The rd Wastnd aside, so he knows about the case in Lizwadia. ……Nn?
「Hey, oi, Iibsal.」
「Ahn? Ahh,e to think of it, I hadn’t introduced him to ya. Luzrashil, my younger brother.」
「I already know that. I somewhat understood that. About what I want to ask.」
Taking a single breath right here, I lowered my voice and asked Iibsal a question.
「In the name of that younger brother, the name Vnshel was in there but……」
「Ha? Of course it would be in there. He’s my younger brother after all.」
「So in short, Iibsal, your family name is……」
「It’s Vnshel.」
「I haven’t heard anything about this, oi!」
「Did I not mention it?」
「No you didn’t!」
I did happen to encounter Iibsal in Vnshel three years ago, but at the time, this guy only named himself as Iibsal.
Or rather, there’s no way I would believe that this brawl loving jerk was royalty!
……No,e to think of it, Sylvia should have had a preference to swinging her sword──Ah,e to think of it
「Oi, oi, isn’t this really bad? Having the royalty of Leezelion and Vnshel right here, right now.」
Vnshel and Leezelion, these two great world powers havepeted with each other countless times in the past.
And I’ve heard that right now, they’re in a situation close to a cold war, but if something were to go amiss, even a war might ur.
We had visited Vnshel three years ago, but to summarize the visit of that time, it was just for the reason of making them promise to 『Not provoke a war until the Demon Lord was defeated』.
「As one would expect, a war would not be raised for something of this level.」
Sylvia made a wry smile. It seemed that she was listening to the conversation.
「But……Iibsal, us remaining here just like this will just turn us into a hindrance to the people. Let us dissolve here.」
Peeking over at the vicinity, Sylvia made that proposal to Iibsal. For the sake of dispelling the worries of the ordinary people as well, she judged that it would be better to quickly depart from this ce.
「How could you say somethin’ so dull, Sylvia……is what I’d like to say, but even if we were to walk freely, the soldiers would get in the way……Well, I’ll get on board with that.」
Iibsal said that and turned around. When he did,
*ZA!!*
The Vnshel Knights divided their ranks in half and created a path.
「See ya, Yuu……No, 『Darkness Executioner』. I’ll be lookin’ forward to shin’ against you in the tournament.」
Dering that while turning his back towards me, Iibsal walked away.
And then, with that Iibsal as the lead, the Vnshel Knights started marching while making *Za za za* footsteps.
「……Well then.」
Making a bow, Iibsal’s younger brother ran away chasing after his older brother. What a polite younger brother that doesn’t resemble the older brother.
「Now then, let us get going as well……Yuu, let’s go.」
「Eh, me too?」
When I was watching the Vnshel forces leaving, my shoulder was grabbed by Sylvia.
「Aren’t you the one that said you didn’t have an inn?」
Come to think of it, I did.
「Well then, I’ll be imposing on you.」
Quite a lot of various things happened, but like this, we left the Grie Feudal Lord’s mansion. ……I really would like for the bad-for-my-heart events to end with this.
◇
「So they’ve finally left.」
In Grie’s Feudal Lord’s mansion, the owner of it, Zeke Oisast was watching the armies of both Leezelion and Vnshel leave from a window, and breathed out a small sigh sounding tired.
「I’ve also be quite cowardly.」
Zeke Oisast separated from the window while making a wry smile and transferred his gaze to the center of the room.
「Lord Oisast, might I have you, believe my words now?」
In the room that Yuu and the others were in up until just a little while ago, a youngdy with a height that could make one say that she was still a little girl, and a brown-skinned woman that apanied that youngdy were there.
When the youngdy asked that, Zeke Oisast breathed another sigh.
「I have no choice but to believe them. You were able to guess that Leezelion’s empress, Vnshel’s crown prince, and then that 『Darkness Executioner』 would visit, as well as guess what that empress desired. ……I’ll believe it, you are the second generation 『Witch of Time』.」
Zeke Oisast sat down on the sofa in front of the sofa that the youngdy was sitting on.
「Well then……May I take it, that you believe, what I said about this town’s future?」
The youngdy that was said to be the 『Witch of Time』 turned a sharp gaze that did not match that appearance of hers towards Zeke Oisast.
「……Yes, I don’t want to believe it but――」
「Several dayster」
As if to cut into Zeke Oisast’s words, the youngdy muttered.
「This town, will be trampled down due to Mazoku several dayster.」
Her dark green eyes were powerfully opened.
