Annecy Schiller’s Dream
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After answering that, the servant often backs away.
This was not the original plan.
Originally, I was going to interrogate him in the presence of the servants, but…
Mary continued to ponder what Leonhard had said.
If it was Leonhard Epsilt, it was a name she knew too.
One of the four heroes who founded the empire, and the founder of the current Duke of Epsylt.
To say that he was Leonhard Epsylt was literally something a madman would say.
The lunatic emerged from a crack in the air.
He blew away the palace knights with a single gesture.
He put the chieftain’s coffin and necklace in his mouth.
‘No, that much can be known through research.’
Mary shook her head.
Prediction is forbidden.
However, it was clear that at least I had to talk to him in the absence of others.
She recalled the image of the wolf-man who had been talking back and raising his voice.
fast.
Pretending to be for himself, his teeth are sharpened at his constant, gentle scratching.
Yes, that kind of guy threatens the kingship.
It is because of the necklace that he is unable to respond properly.
Mary wags her tail in a rising anger and enters the office.
Let her sit down in her chair and quench her anger for a moment.
Soon, a knock is heard.
smart.
“Your Majesty, tell me… ”
“Come in.”
It was Mary who spoke a little urgently.
Perhaps the fact that she called Leonhard had already reached the ears of the wolf beast, Gail Horse.
Even so, it is not a good thing to show others.
At her words, the door to the office opened.
Following Mary’s attendant, a man calling himself Leonhard Epsylt enters.
“Well… Why did I call you?”
“Well, I think this part will be easier to talk about.”
“Surely it is.”
Although there was no invitation, Leonhard slumps down on one of the chairs.
The attendant made an uncomfortable expression at that rude behavior, and the escort knights in the corner flinched.
“You guys can just step back.”
Mary says.
The attendant quietly withdraws, and Mary glances at the escort knights.
“But, Your Majesty!”
“Okay. Come on out.”
The man named Leonhardt in front of me was an unknown and dangerous man.
Didn’t he have the power to easily subdue even the knights in the palace right now?
However, they could not disobey the Queen’s order.
In the end, they left the office with anxious eyes.
Finally, only the two of them are left in the office.
Mary opened her mouth.
“I have to serve you tea, sorry for this.”
“Okay. It’s tasteless, and I don’t particularly like it.”
Having said that, Leonhard chuckled and laughed.
“By the way, a lot has changed. The prisoners serve tea, not beer.”
“Well, if you are truly Leonhard Epsilt… It must have been very different from what you remember.”
Leonhardt exclaims.
“Is that Leonhard Epsilt?”
Without embarrassment, Mary swallowed her saliva.
From here on it was important.
“Yeah, you call me Leonhard Epsilt.”
“It’s not hitting, it’s real!”
In front of Leonhard, who shouts as if unfairly, Mary shows the crown on her head.
“You knew what this thing was.”
“Don’t talk, admit that I am Leonhard!”
“Oh, I will admit it. If so, do you know the function of this coffin?”
It was Mary who asked as if nothing was wrong.
Inside, she was very nervous.
This man in front of him seemed to know the crown, the symbol of the chieftain.
Maybe that’s all, he knew about the necklace he didn’t have now.
It was here that Mary had an idea.
The last question is a test.
It is a test of the nonsensical claim that he is Leonhard Epsilt.
The bone necklace was lost in his own generation, so if you ask other beasts, you can find out about its existence.
The necklace and coffin are the symbols of the king, at least the beasts know it.
However, its function is a secret passed down only to the kings from generation to generation.
So, originally, this man in front of him would not know.
However, if this person is truly Leonhard Epsilt, it is possible.
Obviously, he said that he knew Annecy Schiller with his own mouth.
The librarian also records the friendship between Leonhard Epsilt and Annecy Schiller.
If you answer this, wouldn’t you be able to believe this man’s absurd claims a little?
And, Leonhardt replied simply.
“That’s a runaway… was it? Anyway, isn’t that something that controls it?”
Mary opens her mouth.
“… Are you talking about flashing?”
barely a squeaky voice.
Except for the King of Gilleon, no one knows.
I hope this guy is really…
“Yeah, it’s something like a rampage or a runaway, isn’t it? Anyway, the coffin was definitely something that controlled the runaway of reason. I heard from Annecy that it was a necklace and a set that control the runaway of the body, but is there no necklace? uh… Ansi, who went berserk, was difficult to deal with. Normally, when you go mad, you lose your sanity and run wild without knowing that your body is being destroyed, but Ansi fights while controlling it… ”
“stop!”
Mary shouts with her forehead on her head in shock.
“Stop, just stop… ”
She looked at Leonhardt with the eyes that saw something mysterious.
“What… ? It’s kind of a bad look.”
“no way… really… ”
“As I say again and again, this is the real Leonhard Epsilt.”
She mutters while covering her head.
“Give me a moment.”
Time to calm the shock and organize your thoughts.
And, Leonhardt was looking at Mary like that with a sullen expression.
‘Is it such a shock? No, I’m sure you’ll be shocked.’
Well, of course.
In the history of the continent, he was already recorded as a dead man.
Before he disappears into a space far from the world.
He explained what he was going to do to a few people around him in advance, but the problem was that what Leonhardt did was difficult to understand at the level of people’s knowledge.
It was something he wasn’t sure about even trying, so there was no way it could have been properly explained.
In addition, his physical condition at the time was not in a situation where he could slowly talk to everyone.
Above all, to not be interrupted while working.
When he made a crack in space and disappeared, there was no one around.
That’s why, in the history of the continent, Leonhard Epsylt was recorded as having met an unclear end.
Of course, Leonhardt also knew that he had become a dead man through the descendents he visited.
He did not know that his attempt at eternal life would not even be recorded.
There were quite a few people from the Epsylt family who faced him through the sword, but it was impossible to tell others because of the unspeakable magic.
In fact, the unspeakable magic wasn’t perfect either.
As Louis explained to Alice, it was explained indirectly, except that the person inside was Leonhard.
Or, I could have just turned around and told him to practice the family swordsmanship with this sword.
Even in the middle of that, assassination or rebellion occurred several times over the head of the Epsylt family, and the tradition was cut off and records were destroyed.
In other words, no one could have predicted the appearance of Leonhard Epsilt at the present time.
Anyway, after quite a while.
Finally freed from the shock, Mary raised her head again.
“Yes, you are Leonhard Epsilt.”
“I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but it is.”
Mary nodded slowly.
Maybe you can use this ruler.
“So, what is your purpose?”
“What is your purpose?”
“There must be a reason why you appeared here in Gilleon’s palace. What do you want… ”
“Oh, that was a mistake.”
“What?”
Mary puts on a dumbfounded expression.
However, she quickly settles her expression.
“Actually, it was out of curiosity that I accepted the invitation. Just looking at it, it looks like you’re a descendant of Annecy Schiller… ”
“Yes.”
“… I also confirmed that Annecy’s dream came true. There is no need to be here anymore.”
Embarrassed Mary.
It was a fact that Leonhardt had been saying earlier, but Mary did not have the chieftain’s necklace passed down from generation to generation.
The coffin and necklace belong to Annecy Schiller, the legendary chieftain of the beastmen.
The objects of Annecy Schiller, the legendary chieftain who united the countless beastmen tribes of the Great Forest and founded the Gileon Kingdom, were themselves symbols of royal authority.
Of the two items, Mary had stolen the necklace, so the wolf beast, Gail Horse, was threatening her kingship.
I wondered if it would be possible to change this situation using Leonhard Epsilt, but he says there is no need.
Mary asks in a slightly urgent voice.
“No, but it is… You too have a purpose, so you came back into the world.”
Leonhard nodded his head.
“Well, even if the purpose is to live comfortably, play and eat… ”
That’s a lie.
Mary noticed the desire passing through Leonhardt’s eyes as he spoke calmly.
But it was only for a moment, and Leonhard shrugged.
“First of all, there is one person who is looking.”
Mary nodded her head.
I don’t think that’s Leonhardt’s real purpose, but it can help if you’re looking for someone anyway.
“If you tell me who you are, I can help.”
As if he had no intention of hiding anything, Leonhard said with an annoyed face.
“Louis Wallenstein. He’s probably in the academy now.”
Upon hearing that, Mary gave a fishy smile and made a proposal to Leonhardt.
“Okay, Leonhard Epsilt. Let’s make a deal.”
