211─Gremory Eldin Ishtar Elmark
「Well done…… ? 」
「Good job…… ? 」
「Good job…… ? 」
Shadows, like crushed pitch black, are gathering together.
He was led beyond the gate to the Underworld to be recovered, and asked Fersen.
「 “Mom” Is…… Don’t I have to eat it…… ? 」
“…… “
She asked as if she had made “Dad” Eat.
But I didn’t know how to answer that.
Since she didn’t even have the energy to respond, Fersen tried to respond with silence……
“The mother…… “How many more?”
His severe obsessive-compulsive disorder made it possible for him to even have the energy he didn’t have.
It is common to have one father and one mother.
Still, the monsters living in the underworld may have different genealogies.
「 Two, two people…… Two people…… 」
Sure enough, the sound that it had two mothers came out of the mouth of the trembling monster.
Fersen turned his head, feeling his obsessive-compulsive disorder fading away.
And in response to Fersen’s subsequent order, which was not given, the monster who was forcibly repatriated beyond the gate of the underworld let out a bright voice.
「 Ugh…… “Mom” It’s okay if you don’t eat…… 」
「Thank goodness. 」
「Thank goodness. 」
Boom!
When the gate to the Underworld was completely closed, Fersen took a breath and sat down on the ice road.
I feel like I’m going to lose my mind at any moment.
Such fatigue overtakes my body.
Perhaps because of the depleted magical power, the area where the magical energy gathers hurts so much.
It feels like you are experiencing the moment before a person starves to the limit and starves to death.
However, Fersen got up and slowly returned to the original battle line, holding on to the remaining heads of the Brutein generation through Isabel and the completely broken body of the 13th head of the family.
Then, he strokes his altar and prepares to open the gate to the underworld again.
It is said that she, like him, has depleted her magical power.
The Auror Knight, who has risen to the peak, is a powerful weapon in its own right.
…… As it is, it would be nice if this battle calmed down for a while.
At the start of the war, except for her own life.
There was nothing I could do as I wanted.

“…… “
The song of spears and swords slowly fades away.
When the cries and screams of the soldiers slowly surface on the surface.
The Elmark Empire and the Ernes Empire turned their respective battle lines and began to turn their backs on the dark sunset of the sky.
Today’s exceptionally red sunset will cover up the blood scattered on the battlefield.
Nevertheless, there was no disagreement that the tragedy was a hell of royalties.
And Fersen remained silent at the front line, waiting for her soldiers to completely retreat.
His trembling legs want to sit down on this earth right now, but what holds him back from doing so is because he knows very well what symbolism he carries.
However, just as he was guarding the front line, several soldiers passed in front of him……
“What are you doing?”
Ferzen stopped them and asked.
I see you moving with a cheerful face even in this tragedy.
They are probably people who have been mercenaries for quite a long time.
“Ah…… Br, I have been ordered to help retrieve the heads of the Brutein clan…… “
“I already did it.”
“Uh…… Ha, but…… ”
The embarrassed soldiers look away.
And there is Gremory Eldin Ishtar Elmark.
The body of the 13th head of the family, which had been smashed by her, and the body of the 21st head of the family, which had been completely destroyed when all of her magical power was depleted and her control was released, were still lying on the battlefield.
“Those two bodies of my ancestors will not be recovered.”
“Ah…… All right.”
I was curious about the reason, but rather than asking it.
They tried to show respect to the corpses using the techniques that were naturally applied to their bodies.
“Go back.”
But Fersen blocked even that and ordered them to return.
‘Brutein doesn’t need the courtesy of mere soldiers.’
What an arrogant pride.
After all, they are called Bruteans.
They thought they were no different from other nobles, and they recalled the image of nobles imprinted on them by their long life as mercenaries……
“A person who has already died is dead.”
“…… “
“It is you who are alive who should be treated well here.”
Again.
“It is the people who died here who must be treated with respect.”
“Ah…… “
“So don’t show respect. “Isn’t it a truly vicious insult to those who are alive and those who have died to treat someone who has already died even more?”
How should I express this feeling right now?
The soldiers standing in front of Fersen felt his secret pride and a subtle emotion seeping through his words.
Yes, this is it.
No, this kind of person.
‘Are they called nobles?’ … ‘
They thought that the people they had encountered and experienced so far were nothing more than butchers disguised as nobles.
The soldiers bowed deeply to Fersen.
“…… Go back quickly. “Then won’t I also take a step back?”
“Yes! Yes…… !”
As they quickly turned to join the retreating front line and slowly moved away, Ferzen turned his head and looked at the horribly mangled bodies of the entire family heads.
In Brutein, there is one rule that has been passed down for a long time.
It is a time when the bodies of our ancestors must be ministered before a major event like war.
When their bodies are damaged or can no longer serve.
The idea is to leave them in the same place as those who have already died and move on.
Also, you should not treat them well.
You should not allow them to give you courtesy.
As Fersen said earlier, it was just the death of someone who had already died.
Because I could not have dared to be treated better than those who survived and those who died.
“…… Sorry.”
But Fersen left the horribly mangled bodies of his ancestors in the arms of the soldiers, scattered in pieces.
He bowed his head slightly and apologized.
“Count.”
At the end, when Prince Raymond, who was standing on the front line with him, came to his side……
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Fersen said something to him and smiled slightly.
“Good job.”
Prince Raymond also smiled slightly as he wiped his blood-stained face.
When the front line was completely withdrawn, Prince Raymond and Fersen turned their backs and walked away.
The fatigue still hasn’t gone away.
The war is not over, but has just entered a lull for a while.
Battles like today will continue at any time.
Fersen did not forget it and engraved it firmly in his mind.
* * * * *
The moment we meet is not far away.
Uriel, who sensed this, clasped his hands together and took in the blurry sight of the Elli Alta Canyon.
So far, there has been no news of victory or defeat.
Even without expecting it, I could guess how fierce the battle was going on between the Ernes Empire troops and Fersen on the front line.
The year has already changed, January 7th.
Thanks to the winter that has completely descended, a cold wind will be blowing across the battlefield.
The food supply is running low by now, causing them to starve.
To provide them with a warm bonfire, even if only for a moment.
They were here now.
We are going to El Alta Canyon, following in the footsteps of those who went before us.
──It’s supply!
At the end, the entrance to El Alta Canyon.
When they reached the Ernes Imperial Army’s camp, the voices of the soldiers that seemed to welcome them rang out……
Yuriel increased the pace of his unit a little more and entered the camp.
Finch!
And inside, let’s face the eyes of the soldiers looking at the food they brought.
Those belonging to the rear supply unit trembled and shrugged their shoulders.
The main unit of those who advanced first did not take large quantities of food such as meat.
Because those who witnessed the horrors of war would not be able to chew and swallow it properly.
Fragments of flesh from comrades-in-arms scattered across the battlefield.
It will overlap and completely empty the inside.
But time passed and the soldiers who survived survived.
Not caring about that, they were determined to do their best to survive.
Yes, if the soldiers belonging to the rear supply unit have well-maintained military discipline.
What they were carrying was no longer military discipline, but a persistent poison.
“Welcome.”
And when Prince Raymond, the commander-in-chief of this place, approached slowly from afar, Uriel greeted him politely.
Actually, I wanted to shake off this pretense and go meet Ferzen, but……
It would certainly be rude and insulting to them to prioritize such personal feelings.
“Leave the rest to me and let’s go.”
“Ah…… “
But as if he had read his mind, Prince Raymond uttered one word.
Uriel looked up at him with his eyes wide open.
“I’m sure the Count will be happy to see you.”
“Okay, thank you…” … “
“There is no need to be thankful. “The Count’s barracks aren’t far away, so it won’t be long before you run.”
“Yes…… !”
As soon as he answered, Yuriel took a step forward with his two feet.
No, first of all……
“Laura! Assist the prince and deliver food and supplies!”
He did not forget to give orders to Laura, who was standing behind him.
“Yes…… “
And Laura, who had received that command, frowned slightly at her beautiful eyebrows and looked at her back as she ran toward Fersen’s barracks.
The way she runs around with her big breasts bouncing around, she looks like a b*tch on the battlefield, full of anger without even knowing the subject.
What I miss about him is that he is no different.
‘Hmph…… ‘
It was okay.
Anyway, the one who mixes with him will be himself.
* * * * *
“Ha…… Ha…… ”
Running quickly, Uriel looked around his head.
At the end, Fersen’s barracks came into view, and as he stood outside, whom he had longed to see, Uriel called his name out loud.
No, I want to call you.
An overflowing heart blocks it.
It’s as if I can express the joy of reunion at this moment.
It seems like he is saying that all he has to do is hug him with both hands.
Percussion!
Soon, Uriel stops right behind Fersen.
“…… “
At the same time, Fersen also had a faint odor coming from behind him.
I turned to the familiar smell of perfume mixed with an unforgettable scent.
“Ah…… “

And the moment she saw his face, Uriel started crying without even knowing it.
His miserable appearance is covered in dust and dried blood, unable to wash properly.
The red eyes, which were always intimidating and filled with a unique and noble vitality, seemed to be complaining of being exhausted, filled with so much fatigue.
“Yuriel…… “
He is surprised and calls his name.
Ttogak.
As if drawn to it, Uriel took a step forward that had stopped.
Kirik.
“…… “
But beyond Fersen, a miserable-looking Lizzy appears in a wheelchair.
Upright, Yuriel stopped walking.
Purple eyes that seem to reflect all the despair in the world.
Maybe that’s why Uriel was able to easily notice that her Lizzie was showing some joy at seeing her.
From her perspective, the Claudia family is expanding its power, and she knows that Fersen took it upon himself to stop it.
She must be feeling a subtle sense of kinship along with a sense of guilt.
From her perspective, she may be the only sanctuary that can sympathize with the pain.
Therefore, for her to embrace her Fersen, who is now in front of her, would be a cruel act of pushing her, who was truly pushed to the edge of her cliff, to the bottom of her cliff.
Quuk!
However, Uriel put it on her knees, and she took two steps forward, raised her tiptoes, and gently hugged the battered Fersen.
Fersen said that she did not need to share in her own sins.
So how can a couple be said to be half of each other’s life?
If her husband is a villain, then her wife should be able to become a villain as well.
For this reason, Yuri El turned away from Lizzie’s gaze, and she hugged Ferzen tightly and spoke in a longing voice.
“I missed you…… “
Then, as if in response, Fersen raised her hand and gently brushed her own hair down.
“Yes, me too. I missed you…… “Yuriel.”
And Lizzy’s purple eyes, looking at that scene, were shaking in an extremely pitiful way.
