Chapter 43 (2/2)

……at that h the enemy side

”Leave not one behind!”

As I shouted that, I slaughtered the nearby enemies

One by one, ”Definitely kill” the enemies that stood in my way……as I ordered, everyone followed me and butchered the enemy

As expected, the enele breath

Cleaning theether with the sound of raw flesh being torn apart, the familiar scent of iron tickled my nose

The soldiers of the Army defeated the eneraduallythe encircle number of enemies was reduced to the point where you could count them on one hand

”……hi-”

A nu up at o been pulled off their horses, and as they looked up at h at the saain

”It truly was a brittle resolve”

”Resolve, resolve, you say……just what the hell is it!?”

The enemy put up a front and screamed at me in return

”The resolve to kill, and the resolve to be killed”

And I disinterestedly answered that

At those words, not only the enemy, but my allies also appeared surprised

”……the resolve to be killed?'

”It's not like I have the desire to die”

When a ave a wry so out into battle, there are no absolutes No matter how much you train your body, no matter what kind of techniques you refine……when you're defeated, you'll die when it's time to die”

Those were the words that my father had always told ue base ofwas that

”Because on the battlefield, a 'strong' person does not exist All there is how you will take down your eneh with that, as well as those who did not That is all there is”

In order to meet eyes with one of the members of the enemy, I crouched down

”You didn't have that resolve That is why the e, you collapsed so easily If you truly held that resolve……to begin with, you would have feared that possibility and would not have taken such sih instead”

”……Mel Why do you have such a resolve?”

Kuroitsu-san's questioning voice caether with the ats, resounded dreadfully

”Fro From the h there was the things father told me as well

At that ti e

Be that as it e, I wouldn't havethat into account, perhaps rather than the resolve to be killed, it was closer to a desire for death

”……but, yup Right now, it's just because I have the conviction to go past that fear That's why I have continued to hold this resolve”

I didn't want anyone else to experience the sa my life at stake

And at the same time, for the sake of the people who think of me as important, I had to survive no matter what……that was precisely why I was afraid of death

I was afraid of death, which is why I had the resolve to die Such a conflicting thought was the resolve to die that I spoke of

”……I see”

”Our conversation go prolonged but, souys! The Army will take them into custody! Those from the Guard Corps will continue to protect Parx-sama, and deliver him safely to the Anderson Marquis House!”

Since only a bit of time had passed since the end of the battle, I still hadn't ave out orders with rather rough wording

However, those fro to ht be a bit late to say this, but I'hting

Outwardly, I was just a guard/body double that had nothing to do with the Marquis House, and to begin with, even if I was the daughter of a Marquis House, there was no reason for them to obey my orders when I wasn't a uess it's fine?”

”……did you say so Well then, I'll leave those guys to you!”

And then, in the end I stepped foot for the first tiether with elder brother
