It is uncertain why Ariel screamed [Chase Darius!]
Maybe it was just in the spur of the moment?
Don’t let Darius get away!
I wonder if it’s because of the old woman's tale?
Ariel must have another reason for me to chase Darius.
She’s also a Dragon's dog like me.
Maybe her reason is simply: [Don’t let Hitogami’s apostle Darius get away.]
Kill Darius.
It's decided that I must do this.
"This way! "
In accordance with Ghyslaine’s nose, we run down the hallway.
Ghyslaine and Eris have no doubt whatsoever in Ariel’s words.
Chasing after a fleeing enemy, they wear stifled smiles.
Feeling the adrenaline, I run down the hall steadily.
Security is low.
It’s not entirely absent, but they seem to be after someone else.
A voice saying, [He fled towards the Royal Palace!] can be heard.
Perhaps they are after Orsted.
" ... I saw them! "
With no disturbances, we easily caught up to them after a few minutes.
Darius, with his huge body, was being carried by Auber.
Heavy wheezing can be heard as they rush down the corridor.
" ...... Tch! "
Looking back with a sharp glance, Auber clicks his tongue.
He supports Darius’s shoulder, and flees into a nearby room.
We immediately rush in after… and suddenly come to a stop.
Darius catches his breath, while Auber with his unsheathed sword is facing us.
".....Ku, Ku! "
Writhingly Darius glares at me.
"Agh, why did something so stupid have to happen? This is strange, too strange."
"Darius-dono, you have lived a long life, so you should have experienced this type of thing before. How about calming down and using your head to get us out of this situation? "
Auber replied To Darius’s cry.
"I did as God said! I shouldn’t have been cornered like this! "
Darius refutes with a red face.
" ...... My my, so you’re a religious guy. Then at least calm your breathing and pray for my victory."
While scratching his cheek, Auber took up his swords with a helpless look.
Before us, he brandishes his swords head on for the fire time.
And he introduces himself.
" 『North Emperor』 Auber Corvette."
To that challenge, Ghyslaine and Eris quickly ready their swords.
"『Sword King』 Eris Greyrat."
"『Sword King』 Ghyslaine Dedorudia."
Should I also introduce myself?
While I hesitated, Darius pointed his finger at Eris.
"The one with red hair! Boreas! It’s you! You’re a Boreas Greyrat! "
Eris bit her lips and frowned blatantly.
"...... That has changed."
" I! I have provided various help for Boreas’s needs!"
Darius didn’t hear Eris’s reply and shouted while spitting out his saliva.
"Even with Fedoa territory’s disappearance, I helped them with gold!"
...... Come to think of it.
Darius provided the capital to fund the Fedoa Region Search Group, right ......?
Although I heard talk that there was an ulterior motive.
Being caught off guard, this part of me is a little weak.
Ulterior motives of investors aside, many people were still saved by it.
"That’s irrelevant to me!”
Eris spit out her words harshly.
She is smart.
"J-James also received my help!"
James.
The current head of Boreas, Eris’s uncle.
"Installing him as Boreas family head, and preventing him from being crushed by the all-out attack from nobles is also due to my help! "
It’s a completely different matter.
"Because of that, the reconstruction of the Fedoa territory is also going well!"
No, no, that’s a lie.
"I’ve seen it on the way to the Royal Capital, but reconstruction of Fedoa territory isn’t advancing at all."
“Don’t listen to that youngster! If Boreas had completely collapsed, other lords would have sold the Fedoa territory bit by bit and abandoned it!"
Putting it in that way it sounds convincing.
Was that really the case?
The reconstruction has not been going well is a fact.
But were the alternatives any better?
"If that’s the case, you should’ve helped old man Sauros..."
Coming out clearly from my mouth, were those words.
At that, Darius’s complexion changed dramatically.
"Sauros? Don’t talk about that idiot, that toothless lion could never grasp the reality of the situation! That man tried to use the entire Boreas fortune to reconstruct Fedoa Region without thinking about the consequences!"
" ...... "
I think that's a manly choice ... but.
Well, you can definitely call it a bad move.
The Boreas House is falling prey to other lords now, after all.
"I saved James who came crying to me! I killed Sauros who was forcibly advancing things, and made sure that James would become the head! The Boreas House and Fedoa territory still exist. This was all possible due to my help! So help me! Please overlook this!"
Aa.......
That's not good.
Saying such things about the late Sauros.
I think these two people may no longer be stopped.
"In other words, you’re Sauros-ojiisama’s enemy."
"I see, so that’s how it is."
