Episode. 45 You who want to see light as light (2)
It was bright like spring.
All over the land was covered with the cold magic of winter, and freshness permeated Laplace.
Wherever the eyes reached, everything was dyed pure white, and it seemed as if they were in another world.
No matter how outstanding the great mage, nor the king, who is praised as a saint, cannot bring spring to life in an instant.
It is all the more so that it brings spring days to everyone’s hearts.
so.
People praise such a sight as a miracle.
“It’s really warm.”
in the middle of the square.
The stone slabs emitted light like a bonfire.
Everyone looked at the stone slab.
However, I did not dare to touch it and only coveted the heat with my eyes and body.
In the eyes of the king looking down on the royal capital, every aspect of the people was reflected.
It was warm.
Those who had been shivering in the cold just a moment ago were warming up by leaning on the warmth.
Spring has come to the king’s heart.
Perhaps the king had been cold all along, too.
she looked back
Aristocrats from all over Laplace were there.
◈ ◈ ◈
A feeling of emptiness came over my whole body.
Should I say that it feels like half of my heart has fallen into a lump?
Covering Laplace Kingdom with faith was a heavy burden for me as well.
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever used so much power in an instant.
Whoa… … .
I barely held back the moaning that was about to spill out of my teeth.
It was not a good place to make such strange noises.
“Richard. Why?”
Dalgrak-
Putting down the teacup, Alisa tilted her head.
Lake-like eyes stared at me.
“it’s nothing.”
“Hmm… … You look exhausted. Why did a child who was fine yesterday suddenly become like this?”
Hmmm, she sighed again.
The twitching brow clearly showed her inner conflict.
“You’re not trying to activate Laplace’s Eye, are you?”
“… … If you endure pain, it becomes poison. By any chance, you might be suffering from a serious illness. Again, my eyes are clear.”
“no. I’m fine. I know my body well.”
I steadfastly refused, adjusting my expression.
I don’t know, but my soul must have been cut in half.
It was difficult to see that figure in Laplace’s eyes.
‘It’s like confessing that I’m horny.’
Actually, I don’t think Alyssa didn’t notice at all.
Since she has already seen my soul, it shouldn’t be difficult to infer a connection between me and Hor.
But that’s why he was even more stubborn in rejecting her generosity.
“I am okay.”
Don’t try to know in depth.
Pretend you didn’t see it, pretend you didn’t notice it.
I have no intention of spouting my identity out of my mouth.
I said it with that meaning.
“hmm. I must have paid too much attention.”
The wise magic master readily backed off.
Even so, the eyes did not fall from me.
I couldn’t see her inside at all, but it seemed that only she could see right through me.
Isn’t this a complete foul?
‘If you can see my inner thoughts, please give me an elixir.’
Elixir. Elixir. Elixir. Elixir.
He cried out for the elixir with all his passion and strength.
“It seems that you are tired from the hard training. I will give you an elixir, so drink it every night.”
… … The peak of insight was so terrifying.
“Heh heh, thank you. If possible, I would like it to be given as a special product.”
“and! Having already consumed the dragon’s heart, one greed is a masterpiece.”
“How did you know that?”
“People who are overflowing with mana like you are usually one of two things. Either he ate the dragon’s heart, or he practiced some kind of nefarious drink. Couldn’t you be the latter?”
Alyssa let out a small laugh and took a sip of her tea.
Is the teacup big or the face small?
When she tilted her teacup, most of her face would be covered.
“Richard.”
“yes.”
“As stated in the morning speech, Laplace became a religious state. It will be called the second holy nation after the kingdom of Baren where you lived.”
He nodded without speaking.
country of education.
They said so, but in reality, they were only believers who had just opened their eyes to faith.
If Baren was a stone tower that was built up layer by layer, Laplace was like a tower that was pulled up from under the ground.
There was nothing better or worse.
This, too, will light a rather unusual torch.
“The lords of each territory also took a different attitude. Those who were afraid of Marx are now afraid of the dark. It must be that Marx’s grotesqueness touched me only when I truly saw the light.”
Alyssa ran her finger across the rim of the teacup.
“Ideology. Yes, what you have presented us is an ideology. Our enemy is not Marx, but a ‘heretic’ who believes in darkness. Let’s embrace the light and drive out the darkness.”
“It is. Now, we need to bring about these changes in other countries as well.”
“I know. It won’t be easy, but I can’t give up.”
so.
Why are you suddenly saying such an obvious story?
I didn’t understand her, who had just finished her speech and dragged me straight to her room.
“Richard, I have something to ask you.”
“yes. Please speak.”
“Is there peace at the end of this fight? After we stopped Marx.”
This time I sipped the tea.
I couldn’t answer easily because the bitter taste was in my mouth more than I thought.
Alyssa waited until I collected my appetite.
“… … no. doesn’t exist. There won’t be a world where everything is equal, as Master thinks.”
I took another sip of the tea.
Surprisingly, it worked this time.
It must mean that the words I spit out were just written without any flavor.
“is it. Is there no peace after that?”
Alisa’s voice was calm.
However, being calm did not mean that it was not heavy.
A woman who does not know peace but longs for it.
I knew something about this woman.
“Master. What do you think true peace is?”
“I don’t know. Even after thinking about it for decades, I couldn’t find an answer.”
just.
she continued.
“Nobody got sick. Not hungry. not anxious. not sad. At least, I think a world without misfortune is peace.”
“That could also be called peace.”
okay. If there was such a world, it would surely be peaceful.
But where is such a world?
That was nothing more than a dream.
“… … What do you think peace is?”
For the first time, Alyssa’s eyes dimmed.
Even the extreme insight seems to be of no use in the face of the difficult task of peace.
That’s not the case, how can you find an answer that doesn’t exist?
“Master. There is no world in which no one is unhappy.”
I opened my mouth and expressed my thoughts.
“Some people are happy because some people are unhappy. If no one is unhappy, everyone will be unhappy. Because no one can feel happy. The desire for achievement and the desire to improve to become a better person are all castrated.”
“If happiness can only be obtained by stepping on the misfortune of others, wouldn’t it be better not to have it? The world is unequal. It’s a world where someone is endowed with talent like you, and someone else isn’t. Not just talent, but background. So you’re saying that those who are unlucky should be unhappy until they pass away?”
Anyway, this f*cking communist family.
no. Alisa is a nobleman.
Alan, that madman dreamed of taking one more shot and killing all the powerful.
“So you became the King of Laplace?”
“… … .”
“With that thought, he made Laplace independent even at the cost of losing both eyes. Did you use your own money to help the poor and unreasonably open the storehouse?”
Originally, Laplace had been exploited, not exploited, by Marx.
Most of that national power existed for Marx.
It was a matter of course as it was a country that was thoroughly founded for Marx.
And it was Alisa who cut off the bad relationship.
“The people must have been soaked in happiness. He would have chanted His Highness the King. I won’t be able to get it without it. That is why Master brought peace to this country.”
She looked confused.
I guess you can’t look into my heart even with the eyes of the battery.
“Under that peace lies Master’s sacrifice. Now, the sacrifice is colorless, and the war is ahead.”
Alisa’s peace is broken.
Laplace’s peace was also broken.
Is the glass-like peace that is so easily shattered true?
“then.”
Alyssa frowned.
A squeezing voice followed.
“then… … According to what you said, Alan’s argument is also wrong. The child’s will is to cut and cut and balance equality.”
“I think the answer is a long way off.”
“Don’t ask me again. What do you think peace is? If everyone in the world believes in Hor, will peace come? Certainly, with that light, there would be no need to filter the misfortune of others.”
back to square one
Alisa couldn’t find an answer in the end.
I laughed.
“no. God does not bring peace.”
I’m sorry, but I don’t have that great ability.
“what?”
“Peace is something we win for ourselves. fight and win try and try again By not giving in to adversity and pushing through to the end. In the end, winning with our own hands is peace.”
The men of Rio Castle.
they fought countless times. I lost a lot of comrades.
And when he finally won, he let out a shout.
I defended my castle, I defended my country. And he kept his mission and beliefs.
Thus, the kingdom of Baren was still alive today.
If that’s not winning peace, then what is it?
“Hor only helps.”
Today’s Alisa is a crouching dragon.
Even if he has power, he does not wield it easily, and he is not greedy.
Buried in the idea that the world should be equal, they feel reluctant to deal with their superiority.
How she came to be like that didn’t matter now.
The important thing was that the sleeping dragon in front of him had to change again.
old times.
As Marx’s unprecedented witch who only coveted victory.
“When a fight starts, you have to be greedy with all your might. You have to wield power with full force. Hor does not give help to those who do not do their best.”
“… … .”
she shook her head.
He probably nodded.
◈ ◈ ◈
After a long talk, I returned to my room.
In other words, it meant the first time he entered my room after giving the law.
However, the scenery in the room was quite different from what I remembered.
No, just one thing was too different.
“what. this again.”
In case you didn’t know, the ‘evil link’, tied tightly with the stem of the world tree, was floating in the air.
“Calgos, what else is this guy up to!”
From noble mtl dot com
Immediately weaved a star and confronted the ‘evil relationship’.
It was then.
[Ha, I want to ask just one question… … .]
[if… … do you horn… … !]
The warrior’s voice echoed through the room.
