It's obvious... in reality, this is my limit."
Here Pax relaxed.
"The King of KDK gave myself Shirone, but it's in this state.
No one recognizes me as King; no one is coming.
On the contrary, the general of some person who may not have even inherited father's blood has created a revolt.
In the confusion, the knights whom I had received from His Majesty King of KDK also died.
His Majesty would certainly be disappointed in me."
Pax's restraint crumbled and tears poured heavily from his eyes.
"It is only Benedict who accepts me, after all.
Only she loves me for myself.
She says few words, but she smiles so very hard at me."
The strength of Pax's voice seems to have somehow or another carried down from the castle.
From the bonfires, voices and chatter could be heard.
From below, I wonder if Pax's figure is visible.
Pax looked down upon them as if they were unimportant.
"Hey Older Brother... in this situation, I wonder what I should do?"
"I don't know. But, when you killed our parents and siblings, you went too far."
"... That could be. But those brothers above us would have surely revolted just like this."
"Well, alright."
Zanoba just shook his head.
"However, in these things anyone can fail.
Reflect on it and decide whether or not to leave someone alive next time!"
The lively voice of Zanoba echoes off the top floor.
It's amazing that he can produce that kind of voice in this situation.
"I can't do that. I'm just that kind of guy.
Again and again I just repeat my mistakes."
Pax shook his head slowly.
The gesture was very similar to Zanoba's.
These two people look so different, only that gesture was similar.
Pax raised his faced and looked behind me.
"Randolph"
"Yes, sir."
I was startled.
Imperceptibly, right behind me, stood Randolph.
A death god is at my back.
That's bad for the heart.
"That discussion we had before..."
"Your wish is my command."
"Good."
I wondered what they were talking about.
A moment passed while I thought about it.
Suddenly Pax moved over the handrail of the balcony.
"Ah."
