After Luna repeatedly greeted Karelia, she left.

In the throne room, where only the two of them were left, Vanessa finally opened her mouth.

“Master.”

“I know. I know what you’re trying to tell me. It’s okay if you don’t talk about it.”

Karelia spoke in a playful tone, but Vanessa answered in a very serious manner without a single smile.

“I don’t think I should talk about it, so I’ll tell you. Don’t trust Luna Lien Liniang too much. She was once a feudal lord. She is not a person who will be satisfied with being under others.”

“…….”

When Lunarien first brought Kane and Tifa with him and begged for them to be accepted.

Although there were those who were in favor, including Karelia and Cecil, there were also those who were against accepting her role.

Vanessa is a representative figure among the opposition, and she most strongly argued that hiring someone like Runarien was like accepting a tiger’s cub and should never be accepted.

Of course, I thought it would be a good idea to kill the Runarien that had crawled to my feet here.

She knew that Karelia was an offer she would never accept, so she just didn’t say it out loud.

In fact, Vanessa still did not trust Luna at all.

Karelia heard those words and let out a short sigh.

Soon she looked at Vanessa with a slightly calm expression.

“Vanessa. Do you know about the rumors coming from the place where Lord Luna worked?”

“I know. Isn’t that what the young people who worked with her unanimously praise her for?”

“Yes. He is a person who has the ability to capture the hearts of others just by working together in a short period of time. Not only that, but he stands out with outstanding achievements in agriculture, commerce, castle wall repair, and soldier training. .”

Just now, Luna said that she ‘doesn’t think she can achieve the achievement’.

It was really just a matter of the weather, but her ability itself was so outstanding that she could do well no matter what she asked her to do.

Her ability is not the only thing that is outstanding. She naturally captured people’s hearts wherever she went to work.

“Tepello Castle is one of the front lines of our military, and its importance for the future is very high. With Lord Luna’s abilities, he will be able to manage Tepelo Castle wisely. Such abilities. “Wouldn’t it be a big loss for our military if we don’t use talented people?”

“It could be a big threat. In the hearts of the people of the territory and the people of our Karelia county, it is enough to have only Karelia’s place. There is a person in this country who can be second in command to the absolute lord. “I don’t think you should do it.”

“Wouldn’t it be difficult if the size of the country grows?”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m going to make it happen.”

“… That’s right.”

In most countries, it was the state secretaries who effectively served as the second-in-command of the state.

Because they were the ones who were closest to the lord and helped him make his most intimate decisions.

But the Karelia army was different.

Her strategist, Vanessa, wanted to stay in the shadow of Karelia without taking power, and even if she did her best, she was moving everything to return to the direction of Karelia.

When running a country, virtue cannot solve everything. Getting blood on her hands was also Vanessa’s job.

Naturally, the Karelia military was firmly returning to the Karelian one-man system, famous for its benevolence.

In the process, it was all her credit that Karelia’s reputation did not have a single blemish.

From Vanessa’s perspective, Lunarien’s temperament did not overlap with that of her master, Karelia, in many ways.

So, she thought that she shouldn’t be given an opportunity to grow even more.

Karelia shook her head as if embarrassed, and then spoke in a calm tone.

“It’s okay. Rather, if someone like Luna stands up to take over the world, and if she stands up again and becomes a great feudal lord who surpasses me. At that time, I think the world she creates, not me, will be bad as well. Because as long as this world can become peaceful, what does it matter who reigns over it?”

“…The only heaven I want to serve is my lord. To me, those words add to the reason why I must stay by my lord’s side. Nothing more or less than that.”

“…Is that so?”

Karelia smiled a few times and said.

She certainly had a somewhat soft temperament.

She also acknowledged that the contribution of her book signing, Vanessa, to being able to expand and solidify her presence in the South to this extent was very great.

“Let’s change the topic. Did you hear that?”

“What do you mean?”

“They say a man who works miracles has appeared in Brans County.”

“If you’re talking about that… Are you talking about the incident where a huge stone fell from the sky and hit Serpina-kun?”

“I can’t believe you knew about it. It looks like the rumor has already spread.”

“Because it took about that long.”

A stone suddenly fell from the sky.

Even so, in the process, the fact that a white-haired man was performing a strange ritual became a hot topic.

The news reached Karelia County, located at the southernmost tip, so there was probably no one among the continent’s princes who had not heard the news.

“A man with the power to drop stones from the sky, what kind of person do you think he is? I think the wizard who only existed in legends has finally appeared.”

“Well… There are some things that are hard to believe because I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but my thoughts are a little different.”

“Different?”

“For example, rather than using magic-like power to drop the stone, the man already knew that the stone was going to fall, and he just held a proper ritual to make it look like he planned it… I think so. .”

Karelia’s dark green eyes lit up at those words.

“Wow, that opinion is a bit strange. Why do you think that?”

“It’s simple. There’s no way something like magic that would make a stone fall from the sky is possible, right? Wizards are just creatures of legend. Excluding the impossible, it’s just that they happened to read the timing of the stone falling through some kind of coincidence and acted accordingly. “I just thought it was a little more plausible.”

Karelia once again questioned Vanessa’s words.

“Then, conversely, what does ‘reading the timing’ mean? I think it’s already amazing enough in itself even if it’s not magic.”

“…….”

Definitely.

When Vanessa reached this point, she couldn’t help but be speechless.

Whether it was summoning a stone from the sky and dropping it, or knowing exactly when and where the stone would fall – both were amazing abilities that were almost divine.

He initially expressed it as some kind of method, but honestly, I couldn’t even figure out what it was.

“I’d like to meet him sometime. I heard he’s a young man with white hair.”

“If there was someone with such abilities in Brans County, I think they would have placed him in the forefront a long time ago due to Lin Brans’s personality of showing off…”

“Well, it may be that we have unearthed a talent buried in the wilderness. It’s like I met you. If we talk carefully, maybe we can share the same thoughts?”

“…….”

Vanessa thought.

If I could meet someone who could create such an absurd ‘miracle’, whether it was magic or reading the timing-

Rather than taming him and handling him, it is safer to kill him.

A person with that level of ability would not be satisfied with being under someone else.

‘You’d better be careful when confronting the Brans army someday.’

She and her country had tasks to prioritize.

Conquest of the South.

It will not be too late to think about the matter with Mr. Brans later.

‘I will definitely make our lord a unified monarch.’

Although he may be a bit soft-hearted, he is the only feudal lord who truly cares about the people of the territory and the peace of the continent.

From Vanessa’s point of view, a world in which Karelia could not unify was no different from a world that was wrong.

‘Then we can leave now, right?’

The very moment I finished preparing to leave and was about to go on a horse.

Runarien heard the soldiers chatting.

“Did you hear the news? A wizard has appeared in Brans County.”

“I heard you called a stone from the sky and dropped it?”

Wizard?

Now that I think about it, he wasn’t listening closely because he was concentrating on work…… There was a rumor going around that a ‘wizard’ had appeared in Brans County.

I remembered hearing that even though he was a wizard, the miracles he performed did not match any magic left in legend.

For Luna, when it comes to Brans, something a little different sticks in her head than the rumors about him being a wizard.

‘Swen…… ‘Are you doing well?’

Swen was practically sold to the Brans military.

I was very worried about whether I was doing well under Lin Brans.

At that time.

Words that could never be ignored came to her ears.

“They say he’s a young man with white hair. They say he performed a ritual toward the sky.”

‘…… !!’

Among young men, those with gray hair were by no means common on the continent.

At least among the people Luna encountered, there was only one young man with white hair.

“Hey, hey! Excuse me!”

“Wow! Lu, Lunarien…?”

The soldiers who recognized Luna were embarrassed and bowed down to her.

“W-what’s going on?! Maybe we did something wrong…?”

“Are you sure it’s a white-haired man?”

They were unable to hide their nervousness for a moment, but as soon as the keyword ‘white-haired man’ appeared, they immediately felt relieved and answered.

“Ah, you’re talking about that rumor. Yes. From what I heard, it’s a white-haired man. They say he performed a ritual to heaven.”

“After the ancestral rite, I heard that the sky suddenly moved and a huge stone, like a divine punishment, fell on Serpina.”

“Is that so…?”

A white-haired young man belonging to the Brans Army who caused an absurd miracle.

For some reason, she was certain that it was the person she knew.

‘Swen…… You’re alive…… !’

A miracle occurred?

It wasn’t that surprising.

Swen has always been like that. Even when she was with her, how many times did she cause things that must be called ‘miracles’?

So, if you’ve accomplished something this absurd – it’s unthinkable to anyone other than Swen.

“Um… Lunarien, we have somewhere to go, so would you mind if you excuse me first?”

“…….”

“……I’ll excuse you first. Please forgive my rudeness.”

Just like that, the soldiers fled the scene, leaving Luna behind, who did not respond.

Luna didn’t even notice that her soldiers had left, and she slowly sat down on the spot.

‘Swen…… ! I’m really, really glad you’re safe…… Swen…… !’

How long has it been since I last heard of Swen?

She believed in the words, ‘I will definitely return to my master’, so she wasn’t too worried…… Still, it was true that she was anxious.

If you think about it, Swen tended to speak with strong conviction when making her claims. She also knew very well that her appearance could be viewed unfavorably by others.

She used to think that she would become dangerous in various ways if she showed that kind of attitude, especially in front of Lin Brans, who was famous for her arrogant personality.

But she seemed alive somehow. As she presented when she was alive, when she was under her own—

It seemed like an absurd miracle was occurring again.

A huge stone was summoned from the sky.

She said it was nonsense, but as soon as she found out that it was Swen who did it, she stopped having any doubts.

She firmly believed that Swen had conjured it.

Because she has always been that kind of person.

She came up with ridiculous things like ‘I’m going to do it like this’ and ‘It’s going to be like this’, and the person who pulled it off was Swen.

Luna slowly got up from her seat.

Her ruby eyes were burning fiercely.

Now that she knows that Swen is alive-

To her, her hesitation was nothing but a sin.

‘…… ‘You need to prepare in advance so that you can be proud when you meet Swen again someday.’

When the time comes.

If a time comes that is so firm that no one can deny it.

I will definitely hold that moment in her hands.

She did it for Swen, who is still alive to this day.

‘… ….’

So Luna, with great determination in her heart, mounted her horse and rode to her new destination, Tepelo Castle.

I have to tell Tifa and Kane the news about her Swen.

For the first time since losing her country, her heart was pounding hard.

* * *

And.

Luna in the southern part of the continent was not the only one who lost her mind after hearing the words ‘white-haired man’.

“Is that really true? A young man with white hair and gray eyes?!”

“Ok……that drama.”

Serpina asked the leader Julian while holding him by the collar.

She was unusually embarrassed.

In a battle that took 33,000 soldiers, more than 30,000 soldiers died after being hit by stones.

Commander Julian, who returned barely alive, brought with him about 3,000 soldiers.

Furthermore, I heard that a man was holding a memorial service toward the sky on top of the fortress until this huge boulder fell.

This alone may be full of things that don’t make sense, but surprisingly, that wasn’t what was important to her right now.

‘White hair and gray eyes…’ … That person…… !’

Serpina had rarely seen young men with white hair before.

If you’ve seen it – just once.

It was in her dream.
