conflict (2)
105
Ray and Jimmy, and the Earl and Count of Phillips’ knights, all gathered in one place.
Rey looked around at the people who were seated and calmed her heart deeply.
If Bella’s child was of the royal family, he had fully expected that things could turn out this way.
However, Ray had no compulsion to convince Earl of Phillips somehow.
If things go wrong and they can’t come to an agreement, they just have to leave.
Although it was regrettable that they had accumulated in the counties, they were things that could be thrown away at any time for Bella.
Until now, Ray had been repeating that to herself.
It was kind of obsessive.
Except for Bella, it was such a stubbornness that he could cut off any ties he had made in this world at any time.
However, when the reality of leaving the counties came closer, a small ripple broke out in Rey’s heart.
All the bonds Rey made after falling into this world were in this Countess of Phillips.
Rey only wanted to show affection to Bella, and only to love Bella.
However, apart from Ray’s promise, many people now have affection for Ray and love Ray.
Ray was confident that he could turn away from those who loved him at any time, but he had to admit that as the time approached, his breathing was constantly getting worse.
Ray took a long breath.
Rei thought about how to move the earl’s heart, but nothing like a very sharp thought came to mind.
Ray, who had his breathing in order, spoke calmly about what he had to say.
Rei didn’t just tell the Count all the truth.
Rei was able to follow Harcia’s progress by accident, and he wrapped himself up in a relatively easy way for the Count to understand.
The beginning of the story was the horse tower.
Coincidentally overlapping, I was able to meet the arrangement left by Ricilote, and the arrangement left by Lisilote guided me.
As a result, it was possible to successfully follow Harsia’s progress.
It was an absurd story, but Rey had already proved that he was the legitimate and sole heir of Harsia.
By drawing Moros, the divine sword of the Empire, and using the space sword that was used hundreds of years ago.
“The chaos will come again. The signs are already starting to show.”
Ray started talking about the first prince.
The Ranger testified that the first prince had been revived by trading with the devil, and the arrangement and guide left by Lisilote urged them to confirm that the testimony was true.
Because of that, he was rushed to the Signi Mountains, and it was confirmed that the 1st Prince made a deal with the devil in the Signi Mountains.
At the end of the battle, he succeeded in eliminating the first prince.
Using his momentary wits, he retreated without colliding with the rangers.
continued that story.
“I don’t think the chain of events happened just by chance.”
It’s not just a coincidence.
Meaning, greater chaos was coming, Rey warned.
“I dare you, I hope that Count Phillips will be my strength.”
“…”
The Count was silent.
Ray’s story sounded absurd at first glance.
Even if Rey had made progress with Harsia, it felt like she was talking about chaos too hastily.
However, the Earl of Phillips was different from other ordinary humans.
Most humans have encountered the stories of heroes hundreds of years ago as fairy tales and regarded them as fairy tales.
Even looking at the history books, there were few people who could fully realize the unrealistic and absurd story.
For this reason, stories from hundreds of years ago were just interesting myths to most humans.
But the Earl of Phillips was different.
For the owner of the Phillips family, hundreds of years ago, a hero was a real existence in front of their eyes.
The history of their struggles was passed on without being altered, and it was not a fairy tale or a false record, but a calm truth.
Because of this, Ray’s story and the ‘inevitability’ that Ray spoke of came to Count Phillips too heavy and distinctly.
The count, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“Let’s go out. I need time to think about it.”
Rey bowed her head deeply and left the restaurant. Jimmy followed.
The Count looked at the door where Rey had disappeared and was silent again.
*
The Count believed that all danger would be gone if he removed Rey’s brother.
It was an illusion. Ray himself was a potential threat to Count Phillips.
Rei was unable to inherit the space sword, and even inherited the imperial divine sword Moros, which was once the symbol of the emperor.
If the imperial family had been very stable, the existence of Lei might have been welcomed by the emperor.
However, the imperial family is now full of chaos. Those who remained as successors lacked legitimacy apart from their abilities.
In this situation, if the successor of the Space Sword was officially revealed, the imperial family was highly likely to react very sensitively.
Ray’s younger brother was also a bomb, and Ray himself was a formidable element of anxiety.
of course.
Rey’s future was not bright enough to be feared.
Before he turned fifteen, let alone an adult, he reached the state of being a graduate.
In addition to inheriting the space sword, samurai of a similar level could not compete.
Rey will one day acquire the supreme state and force that Harcia had reached.
Ray’s future was obviously coveted.
However, the Count did not want to risk the risk of greed that he could not afford.
We need to get Rey out of the Counts.
When I tried to draw such a conclusion, I suddenly had a question.
After chasing Rey, will the Countess be safe?
If, as Ray argued, a series of events were inevitable, could the Count of Phillips prevent the chaos to come?
The Count knew.
Far from stopping the chaos, they will be the first to be swept away.
The Count’s position was too bad to keep his head down until the storm passed.
Rather, accepting Rei is not a choice that will allow the Counts to survive with a higher probability.
The Count had no choice but to embrace the worries that Rei had intended.
A long time has passed. The knights waited for their master to make up his mind.
The Count continued to look at the door where Rey had left, and muttered to himself.
“We perished while guarding the side of the cursed hero.”
That was true without any exaggeration.
The Phillips family fell with their heroes, and the Count of Phillips’ ancestors had to end their lives on the outskirts of the city without a single ambition.
And finally, the contract that had bound the Phillips family for a long time was coming to an end.
Count Phillips had no great ambitions, but at least hoped to regain his freedom, at least as much as Alesia.
Whatever he did with the freedom he had regained, he could be satisfied even if he ruined the family due to excessive greed or mistakes.
“However, we wanted to escape from the bondage of the past, but the successor of a hero who was cut off hundreds of years ago came to us.”
That too, with a member of the royal family as his younger brother.
“Is this the fate of our family?”
The Count lamented.
We have fallen after following the hero, and are we doomed to ruin by following the successor of the hero?
If not.
Is it time to soar high again after a long sacrifice?
It was a question no one could know the answer to.
Maybe, if you’re really lucky.
Like Count Reiwa’s wish, I didn’t know that everyone could have a peaceful ending without letting anyone know the ‘secret’ for the rest of their lives.
However, it was close to a far-fetched delusion.
The count’s expression turned cold.

Ray, leaving the restaurant with Jimmy, handed the baby to Andree.
Ray headed to the delivery room with the baby in her arms, and asked Andree who was following her.
“Is mom awake?”
“That’s right.”
“If there are other people around the delivery room, hand them over.”
Andry did not say anything about what the Count had told him, and granted a request that was close to Ray’s orders.
Rey unwrapped the illusion magic overlaid on the child and found Bella.
Bella, who received the child, could not hide her emotion.
It was so fortunate that the child I had seen lightly just before fainting was held in my arms again as it was.
Bella sighed for a while and then breastfeeding the baby in a clumsy position.
Ray looked at him and opened his mouth.
“Mom, I have something to tell you…”
“Woo-ju-ju, I’m a mother.”
Bella looked at her child and smiled.
Rey waited for Bella to fully communicate with the child, then spoke a few more times.
However, Bella treated Rey as if she had no one at all.
To treat adoptive children as people who did not have children just because they had their own children… Of course not.
As Bella’s ignorance continued, Rey frowned and grumbled.
“Mom, I’m so proud of having my legs spread once…”
“hey!!!!!!!!!!”
Bella started screaming involuntarily, and then wrapped around the child, hoping that the child might be surprised, and glared at Rey.
Seeing Bella’s face full of fever, Ray also stopped talking about the topic of childbirth.
Bella managed to calm her mind and checked the child’s hands and feet.
Five fingers each. Five toes each. No problem.
Ray looked at him and asked abruptly.
“Have you decided on your brother’s name?”
“Leah. Or Rachel. I was going to choose between the two. Which name do you think would be better for your son?”
Ray touched his forehead a few times for nothing.
If you look at the etymology of the name, it must have been built with the name ‘Ray’ in mind.
Ray, who was worried, answered.
“I like Leia.”
“Then let’s go to Leah.”
Bella still looked tired, but honey dripped from her eyes as she looked at Leah.
Bella, who was breastfeeding Leah with a smile, realized one thing and was a little perplexed.
“But why doesn’t my baby open her eyes?”
“Even if I open my eyes now, I can’t see it anyway.”
It would be nice to be able to recognize the outlines of objects with the eyesight of a newborn child.
Ray knew how poor a newborn’s eyesight was because he had experienced it firsthand.
Bella frowned as she listened to Rey’s words, and carefully placed her finger on Leia’s eyelids.
Bella’s fingers lift Leia’s eyelids slightly.
“Oh…!”
Bella’s body stiffened for a moment with an embarrassment.
Bella didn’t want to tee off, but Rey’s eyes could clearly see Bella’s embarrassment.
I understood enough.
Leah’s eyes had a color too intense to be that of a child.
Above all, no matter how rural, the external characteristics of the imperial imperial family were well known through rumors.
Brilliant silver hair and intense red eyes.
Bella’s head stiffened, and she looked for Rey.
“Ah, my son, my brother’s eyes are red…?”
Ray replied bluntly.
“It’s because it’s a hybrid. It’s human blood mixed with dragon blood.”
Hybrids were the breed Ray wanted to avoid the most.
‘f*ck really.’
What the hell happened to the cub who initially thought about hanging out with the dragon?
Rey was sticking her tongue out towards the founder of the empire with an abnormal s*xual desire, but Bella did not understand the situation and asked again.
“Job, mongrel?”
“Oh, so…”
Ray scratched his temple.
“The royal family. My younger brother.”
“…”
After a while, Bella, who understood Rey’s words, tried to pass out .
