Chapter 60 – Royal Capital Gaul (10)
“It was a stupid decision. Her body moved even though she didn’t have to run away with her.”
I’m talking about a subject that can’t be protected.
Leon let out a self-deprecating laugh.
None of the three listening to him called his judgment foolish.
How can you insult
It was an action he made with his own determination and determination.
Arya, who was listening to her story, asked a question as if she realized something about her.
“Perhaps the reason she couldn’t call another priest…”
“Miss Aria’s prediction is correct. Because he was in control. He ordered me and Sir Edelis, my doppelganger, to be bound immediately if they were seen in the cathedral. Still, if Sir Edelis’ condition is in critical condition, the purpose was to treat Sir Edelis even if I were to be caught. However, luckily I met Ms. Arya.”
“That’s why you were so desperate.”
The extreme attitude of the doppelganger was now an aria that was acceptable.
He touched his shoulder shyly.
“You looked ugly.”
Arya glanced at Einstein and replied.
“If someone dear to me was injured, I would have done that. Still, I have a question: I’m not even a certified cleric, so what did you trust and entrust to me?”
“How can a priest who recognizes the complicated structure of an ancient curse at a glance be an ordinary priest?”
“… I didn’t think of that.”
Arya was short-tempered and shy of herself.
In the first place, it is an ancient curse that ordinary clerics cannot explain.
You have to be a pope or a cardinal to see the possibility.
Is there a priest who immediately recognizes the mechanism by which such an ancient curse was made and asserts that the possibility is half and half?
To the doppelganger, Aria must have been nothing more than a rope of salvation.
Einstein wiped his face with his hand.
After hearing the story, Arya did the very right thing.
What if she hadn’t saved Edelis Bride?
It is unknown what kind of behavior her doppelganger will show after losing her, but it may not have had a good influence in the future.
The warrior asked, organizing her thoughts.
“Are there any suspects behind it?”
“Because you are careful and thorough, I haven’t even caught the tail yet. Also, there are no staff available.”
It seems that I have been looking for it myself.
Einstein asked again.
“Leon, what do you want to do?”
He shook his head and tried to correct Einstein.
“Astein, I am not Leon, but his doppelganger…”
“Didn’t Edelis also tell you? If your memories, personality, and appearance are the same, then you are just Leon.”
At that nonchalant statement, the doppelganger, no Leon, twitched the corners of his mouth.
“She is like her, and she is like you, and when she calls a fake a fake, does her tongue go out of her mouth?”
At that self-deprecating statement, Arya looked at Leon.
She put into her mouth a phrase she had seen the other day.
“What if it’s fake? Are you reluctant to be made? Are all your feelings wrong? I hope you don’t think so negatively. Whether we like it or not, we are created by someone and the environment around us. Rather, I want you to know that that desperate feeling makes you more like a Leon than anything else.”
It was an unusually long speech for Ariah.
She caught her breath and looked at Leon.
His handsome face distorted terribly as he listened quietly while the long talk continued.
“… Thank you for comforting me.”
Einstein, who had no desire to watch his man cry, asked the question again.
“So what do you want to do?”
Leon wiped her reddened eyes with the back of her hand.
His blue eyes held a determined light.
“I want to kill all those who harmed Sir Edelis.”
Emotional.
But most motivations are based on emotions.
Einstein saw Arya and Azazel.
“I want to help Leon. How are you guys?”
Arya said as if she had been waiting.
“I want to help too.”
Azazel looked at the two of them and pursed her lips.
“It’s already the majority, so what’s the difference if I oppose it?”
Einstein shook his head.
“You don’t have to do it if you don’t like it. It is not compulsory.”
“It would be really ugly if I left here after hearing the whole story, right?”
It was Azazel who twisted her words about cooperating roughly.
As we talked, the night deepened considerably.
It was decided to give Leon and Edelis the three-person room that Astein and the others had kept.
Even if the curse was weakened, Edelis needed stability.
Leon, too, must have been exhausted from his escape life.
Leon expressed his deep gratitude.
Azazel grumbled in the middle, but it wasn’t malicious, it was just her personality.
Arya said.
“Then I’ll have to book a room again.”
Einstein replied.
“That’s right. I’ll find a suitable room for you.”
It was an awkward conversation.
As if avoiding the awkwardness, Einstein went down the stairs and tried to get a room from the waitress.
At that moment, Azazel ran up to her door and she called him over.
I even whispered in my ear.
“Hey, I’m going to sleep alone, so use the same room as my sister.”
“… What?”
Azazel pointed with her thumb at Arya, who was looking anxiously this way.
“You don’t have to apologize, idiot.”
Apple.
Einstein couldn’t think of anything to refute.
Looking back, it was right that I reacted too sensitively.
“… It should be.”
As she spoke in an uncharacteristically somber tone, Azazel raised the corners of her mouth and trembled her cheeks.
“It’s ridiculous to apologize after laying a plate like this. Are you a child?”
“It’s very shocking to hear that from you.”
“Isn’t that why you did such a stupid thing?”
It was a very direct statement.
But Einstein agreed.
“Right, I think so.”
“You bastard.”
Why did Azazel feel like a grown-up even though she was obviously swearing in a low quality?
Einstein decided to spit out that impression.
“You look like an adult, Azazel.”
“I must have had a lot to think about because I was kicked by some bastard, well. Hurry up and get a room.”
Hiding her shame, she kicked Einstein in the shin.
When Azazel kicked Astein, Arya freaked out and came running.
“Ah, Azazel! What are you doing!”
Azazel smiled and tugged at Arya’s cheek.
“Your sister is also your sister. ‘Cause I’m so stupid A man like this should just be kicked.”
“Ouch, that, stop it.”
Einstein blankly looked at the scenery and then moved on.
When she went down to the first floor, Leon was waiting for her.
‘There are many people who have something to say to me today.’
As for Einstein, Azazel had just been scolded by her, so she was not a very welcome opponent.
So, naturally, her tone of voice came out reluctantly.
“Leon, do you have anything else to say?”
He laughed softly.
It was the usual Leon.
“It’s because I can’t sleep.”
“Your insomnia seems to be still there.”
“Can you talk to me?”
“I am busy too. I got an errand.”
“Errand?”
“Someone occupied the room they had reserved.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to ask for an apology, so don’t worry about it.”
Leon looked at Einstein waving his hand with affection and replied.
“Anyway, I won’t spend your time too long.”
“I’ve never seen anyone who says that and ends it short.”
As Einstein was about to leave, Leon hurriedly brought him out.
“About Miss Arya.”
As if he had correctly pointed out the subject, Einstein’s face was distorted.
Her body, which had been turned, had returned to normal at some point.
It was an easy response.
“What.”
“Aren’t you worried and anxious?”
Leon didn’t specifically say what he was worried about or what he was anxious about.
He spoke vaguely and bluntly.
Even so, Einstein was able to fully realize the intention of the words.
Because I kept thinking like that.
As he tried to ignore it, he leaned his back against the wall and replied helplessly.
“Yes. It’s more like that because something didn’t exist.”
Because I don’t want to lose like my own sister.
Because I don’t want to lose twice.
As a result, she could see herself trying to violently restrain her behavior.
I also saw Arya hurt by that.
I really hate that.
They say it’s not enough to cherish, caress, and love.
She hated it to the point that she shuddered at the fact that she was carving her wounds herself.
“I did too. Edelis was anxious and nervous. Of course, it is the story of my body.”
At Leon’s words, Astein put her toe.
“Isn’t she a knight? She is fine, but she has power, so what are you worried about?”
“As a knight, wouldn’t there be more dangers to face? Regardless of human discretion, it is natural to feel anxious.”
It was an obvious story.
A very obvious and obvious kind of story.
“Are you going to give a sermon?”
“What qualification do I have to preach to you? Do you know what she said to me when she came after me?”
Einstein stared at Leon as if telling him to continue.
“‘Honestly, I hate it because it’s suspicious. However, if I turn away from the injured person for that reason, I will not be able to see someone with dignity. I’m leaving because I don’t like it. I want to be proud of him.’ Before, I didn’t know who that ‘person’ was, but now I think I do.”
It felt like being hit with a hammer.
I want to be honest with that person.
The word, the word, the syllable.
It bothered Einstein.
“… .”
“Why do you look like that, Sir Einstein?”
Shit.
He slapped his cheek.
His blood gushed out, probably because he was beaten with a strong grip.
Leon was not taken aback by Einstein’s sudden behavior and looked at him calmly.
Einstein spoke slowly.
“Because I thought I was still an idiot.”
Leon laughed.
“Where would a perfect person be? Everyone corrects their mistakes and lives.”
“Thank you for telling me.”
“The day will come when I will live and be grateful to you. After all, nothing is as deadly as love.”
“… You’ve been talking about a topic that Edelis can’t even say.”
“… Where is the law to beat cowardly with facts?”
The two glared at each other with blank faces, then burst out laughing at the same time.
For some reason, I can’t get out without laughing.
It could not be anything other than an idiot prince and an idiot warrior.
Einstein asked while touching his neck.
“I heard you protected Arya.”
“She just stopped following me and being victimized by her.”
“That doesn’t mean that the fact that she protected her didn’t exist. Thanks.”
“Are you really thankful?”
It was an awkward tone.
“… ? Thank you, of course.”
“Then, Einstein, can you do me a favor?”
“Ask?”
“Take Sir Edelis to the body tomorrow morning.”
The warm atmosphere until just now was a remark that stiffened at once.
Einstein narrowed his eyes.
“Why?”
“I’ve been contemplating what it would be like if I were the ‘body’. Fortunately, the accident itself was similar to my own, so an estimate came out quickly. Losing the only knight he trusted in a royal family that no one could trust, he must be drowning in despair and frustration. Didn’t you know from meeting him, at least that the main body was not in good condition?”
It was true.
Einstein didn’t confirm or deny it, but Leon smiled as if he already knew.
“I don’t want me to be broken. I don’t know who would want it, but seeing them separated like this made my heart stronger.”
“Wouldn’t it be painful without Edelis?”
“She said. Don’t give up So, I am not going to give up on myself either.”
He was a strong man.
Not from a physical aspect, but from a psychological aspect.
Perhaps he was even stronger than his body.
The reason he grew up must be the existence of a knight named Edelis.
“Maybe I won’t be able to see you forever.”
“As long as she’s safe, as long as she’s fine, that’s fine. Besides, isn’t there a chance that only I can take a grand revenge together.”
It was a mischievous smile.
Einstein gave him a sad look.
“Leon. As I said in advance, the lifespan of a doppelganger is not so…”
“Isn’t that long?”
“Did you know?”
“It just seemed like something like that would come out. A body that wanted to die anyway. There is nothing to be afraid of.”
The look of the one who was prepared for death was sorrowful, but there was a determined beauty.
Einstein looked at Leon like that and said quietly.
“I will make sure to get your revenge.”
“Stop it, doesn’t it sound like you’re dead when you say that?”
“He’s willing to die, but that’s not wrong.”
“I’m sure you’ll hear the request.”
Einstein didn’t answer and twisted his body.
Leon also walked to the other side.
The two men naturally parted ways.
As Einstein took the room from the waitress and went up, she heard Azazel say that she had made a room.
Not to write long.
Did you write too long?
