The carriage arrived at the fortress of the Frislan family.
As the carriage entered the fortress, Spera and Alesia were the first to meet Rey.
“Did you get there safely?”
When Spera asked in a welcoming voice, Rey got off the carriage and nodded.
“Fortunately, I came back safely.”
“My knight! I missed you!”
Merciful Alesia welcomed Rey without the phrase ‘I had an affair’.
Rey answered, kissing the back of Alessia’s hand.
“I missed you too, miss.”
When Rey set the mood, Alessia smiled contentedly.
After greeting Luna first, Yohana sneaked up to Rey and patted Rey’s body with her fists.
There was no frown on Rey’s brow, even if he patted it here and there.
After confirming that there were no wounds, Yohana said with a very pale face.
“Are you not seriously injured this time?”
“Fortunately. Thanks to Luna, well.”
“Well…”
Johana, with a slightly complicated expression on her face, showed off her sword that Zeppelin had given her and boasted.
“Did I grow a lot?”
“I’ll see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the training ground.”
Johanna’s development was the car that Rey was also looking forward to.
Then Karen came up to Rey and hugged her.
Alesia tried to convince Karen that she could express that kind of joy because Karen had seen Rey’s face in a long time, but she was startled when Rey tried to bury her face in Karen’s neck.
“What am I doing in a manly place where others see me…!”
Alessia forced Karen away.
Ray smiled lightly and said hello to Darren and the other children.
After almost saying goodbye, Ray looked at Jenkinson.
“Hello, Master. How are you, Sir Didier?”
Jenkinson, who was still a little wobbly in his legs, grinned at Rey with crutches on.
“Seer, shouldn’t you say hello to the Master first?”
“You’re waiting for your throat to fall, so I postponed the order.”
“That sleazy thing is still there even after visiting the kingdom.”
Jenkinson laughed out loud with Ray and sighed.
“Everywhere you go, you’re so f*cking hot.”
It was a secret that Meteor had fallen into the kingdom, but it was shattered hundreds of kilometers in radius, and rumors could not escape.
Even in the Empire, everyone knew about it, and all kinds of rumors were being sold at great prices.
Jenkinson asked, along with Didier, who was standing next to him, expressing his apologetics.
“How’s Viscount Gadi?”
“Rescue. He’s in custody right now because of a lot of accidents. But he’ll probably be released by the end of the day.”
“Thank you, you worked hard, and I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Ray smiled brightly.

After washing and resting, Rey had a meal with Spera.
First of all, it was Rey who visited the fortress of the Frislan family as a guest, so as a courtesy, he had to have a meal with Spera first.
Originally, Rey, Luna, and Spera were going to have a meal, but Alesia insisted on having a meal with four people.
Rey cut the meat and asked Spera.
“Did you have any problems while I was away?”
“Unfortunately, there wasn’t. I wish there were more stories to tell.”
“I’m glad. How’s your win rate with Yohana these days?”
“…”
Spera’s expression deteriorated all at once.
The results didn’t seem very good.
Ray tried to contain the laughter that escaped.
Even when she first met Johana, Sperada was delighted that she was dating a friend of the same age who could share a sword.
But now, only articles that burned the competitive spirit remained.
Spera was belatedly controlling her expression and changing the topic.
“I’ve been thinking about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think it will be difficult for Ray and I to enter into an engagement relationship.”
“Um… I do.”
Are two sword masters married?
This inevitably upsets the balance of power.
It was never a wise decision politically unless you were going to overthrow the empire.
It’s going to rain like crazy.
Even if the Sword Master or the Sword Master prospects met each other, it was better to upload it with someone else who had cooled down.
Even though Ernst looked back at Rey and forced her to marry.
Alesia, who heard Spera’s explanation, raised her voice in triumph.
“After all, I’m the only one with my knight!”
Alesia liked that she was able to play Spera because of her lack of foundation and talent.
Then Spera poured cold water on it.
“But turning Rey to the edge of the Empire would be difficult for His Majesty the Emperor… Maybe Rey could form a ties with the imperial family.”
“…”
Alesia opened her mouth wide, then turned into a limp and wept.
“Uh, how… this, this…”
I liked that Spera had been eliminated, but this time the unborn princess came up on the scales.
This was not a fight that could be won.
“My knight… abandon me like a devoted mate…”
Rey comforted Alesia who was squeezing.
“Girl, don’t worry, just eat.”
“Ugh…”
Alesia put the meat in her mouth and chewed it limp.
Still, Alessia, who soon regained her energy, asked Rey.
“But did Meteor really fall?”
“Yeah, well, it really fell…”
“Have you ever seen it up close? Did the lights really flash and dust pillars rise to the sky, and a great wind blew like it was written in a storybook?”
Alessia asked brightly with eyes full of curiosity.
Ray’s appearance was a bit twisted.
If you ask a person who was hit by a hydrogen bomb from a short distance a while ago about the shape of a mushroom cloud, you might feel a little twisted.
“…”
As Rey’s eyes narrowed, Alessia slowly moved the chair to widen the distance, fearing that she would get stuck in one.
Ray, who burst into laughter as he saw that, raised his voice as he drew the shape of a dust column in the air with both hands.
“Wow…! It was terrifying. I really thought I was going to die.”
“Is the dust cloud that big?”
“You couldn’t even see the end? So, how was it…”
Alesia and Spera put the knives that were slicing meat on the table and narrowed the distance.
It was Alesia and Spera, who were bored in the fortress for a while without any unusual stimulation, so I began to listen to Rey’s story with interest.
Among them, only Luna continued to eat quietly.

Under the dark raining sky.
A woman walked on the stinky ground.
Countless corpses were messed up along the way the woman passed.
Through a landscape of cracked ground, collapsed mountains, and dislodged clouds.
The woman continued moving forward, stepping on the viscous ooze that flowed like a river.
At the end of that journey, the woman met a man.
The man was leaning against a dirty, rough rock.
The corpse of something huge and hideous was lying next to the man, along with numerous torn pieces of flesh.
As the woman waved her hand, the blackened corpse flew away and tossed on the ground.
The man opened his dry lips as he felt a new shadow cast over his face.
“What… did you come all the way here on a whim?”
“…”
After a long silence, the woman opened her mouth.
“I knew you were going to die so trivially.”
“You said I’d be lonely in the pit.”
The man forcibly lifted his eyelids.
Through the hazy eyes, the figure of a woman was reflected along with the black and black landscape.
“You’re wrong. Look, you’re not alone.”
The woman asked the man who looked very proud.
“Aren’t you sorry?”
“Regret… um… I regret a lot. But… I think there are more good memories that make me laugh.”
The man sighed and looked back at the memories.
If it was short, it was short and if it was long, the memories that were long passed by one by one, making the man laugh.
“We got along pretty well. It was fun when we were together. Although you were a little outgoing by yourself. Haha, I…”
The man finally looked straight at the woman and raised the corners of his lips smirk.
“I thought you couldn’t cry.”
The man was so mistaken.
But now the woman was crying.
His voice was as calm as ever, but his eyes were redder than ever.
The woman lowered her head and looked at the man’s chest.
There was a hole in the man’s chest.
Blood gushed out from the place where the heart had disappeared.
Even if the hole in his chest was blocked, even if there was a means to restore the heart at once, he could not revive the man.
The hole in my chest and the bursting of my heart were a secondary problem.
The man was now paying the ‘price’ of the deal he had caused himself.
His soul and body were disintegrating, and he was gradually disappearing.
What happened to him was the realm of power, so the woman had no means of interfering right away.
The man glanced at the woman and chin at the weapon next to him.
“I don’t care, can I ask you a favor to Kim who came this far?”
“…”
“Would you mind bringing some of that? It’s a symbolic thing or something, so I want you to take it and give it back.”
“Okay.”
“It’s nice that you’re not as cool as you are.”
The sight of the man squeezing the streets of farmland didn’t look pleasant any more.
The woman dared to ask a question that looked bad.
“…Aren’t you afraid?”
“I was just afraid.”
The man’s voice trembled slightly as all the blood had drained from his body.
The man forced his voice and continued speaking.
“But seeing you makes me feel better. You’ve always been calm and cool. Being by your side made me feel at ease.”
A woman who has been pointed at many times for being cold-blooded.
However, reason and efficiency were put first.
Through long exchanges, a man could see that a woman’s mind also exists.
Although it was far from ordinary, a man could feel that ‘warmth’ existed even in a woman.
“Whew…”
The man’s breathing became slower and slower.
life goes out Now we both felt that we had to say our last goodbye.
The woman pursed her lips.
She opened her mouth to say something, but eventually shook her head.
I was thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking.
I won’t confess that I love you.
To describe the blindness of the wizards… Because the word love was too light.
That is why the woman did not speak the word love.
“I will miss you, Harcia.”
“Grip…Dara.”
Harsia pondered the last goodbye and smiled warmly.
After taking her last breath, Harsia said goodbye to the woman who was disappearing through the gate.
“Thank you for that, Lisilote.”
Tweed Duk!!
welcome fades away
The marble on which the illusion was recorded also crumbled and disappeared.
The emperor of the empire, Phoebus, stood there for a long time with the divine sword of the empire in his hand .
