Light Beyond 2 ~ Chapter Six ~

Asyut picked up a piece of the report that was spread out in front of hilance

Unable to feel lass of water froht, asn’t so with his sigh Asyut felt that keenly But there was a mound of problenored During the day he was up to his neck in dealing with business that the only way to think slowly over these probleht

The enviro to change greatly

There were many points related to her that he was concerned about First, the uards Ever since Neisan, a victim of the Holy Jail, was announced as a candidate to be her bodyguard, everyone’s doubts began to swell again

The same situation occurred when Aeneas became one Why did he expressly want to serve as the hated saint’s bodyguard? Was he not hiding a plot to avenge himself? If that was not the case then, conversely, was the saint the one who appointed hiain? If so, then for what reason?

Certainly, the surrounding voices gradually became smaller as Aeneas did his ith devotion From an outsider’s view, the master and servant relationshi+p was also favorable and, from the start, Aeneas’ nature made it hard to associate hie

But what about Neisan? Those who had knowledge of hiathering intelligence and assassination Various factors, which happened in a row, led hied, hebehind the scenes of the royal palace as a “shadow”

(Just when everyone was gradually starting to accept her)

Celiastina’s existence

She had been a saint who pushed the limits of cruelty but, since she lost herthe atmosphere of the royal palace That all her hard ould co that vexed Asyut

Of course the probles

Currently, even Asyut did not knohat Neisan’s intentions were He hadn’t shown any noticeable movements so far, and his work attitude was as serious as always But still, Asyut thought that he was certainly planning so And yet

(My head hurts……)

What exactly was he really planning? The person in question had actually just visited Asyut’s roo to report on Lady Celiastina, even Asyut was unable to coldly send him away

What he heard was that, about an hour ago, Celiastina slipped out of her room alone Furthermore, she met with Linus at a courtyard In the past, he had heard that this frequently happened but for that to continue even now… there was so about that which made his heart noisy, but the probleinning to end

Asyut had told several of his subordinates to keep a watch over Neisan’sbut that Neisan was able to circuer and just as Asyut kneithout a doubt that he couldn’t leave Neisan as a bodyguard, Neisan continued to give a more detailed report in an indifferent manner

There was a strange point to the two’s conversation They should have been talking a

bout Celiastina herself and yet it was a very objective and cals, and the circus, “as if it were the problem of a third person, as not there”–

He could understand that portion of Neisan’s report Neisan didn’t know but Celiastina was currently experiencing ether with Linus about past events objectively in order to regain her memories

However, at the saht at Asyut

Like Neisan ht many times that Celiastina’s speech and conduct was very much like a third party It didn’t feel like it was because she couldn’t experience the emotions of her past with her memories lost She could be seen as a completely different person, sectioned from the past Celiastina

For exaether in the flower field When Asyut said they could coether, she looked like she had been about to cry She soon set the expression she just had It was a look like she had given up somewhere and that she realized, next year, that it wouldn’t be her ould stand beside him in that same place

The current Celiastina was always standing at a distance one step away Even though she focused on the future and dealt with everything positively, she didn’t create a place for herself to belong in that future It was as if she were intentionally thinking about distancing herself from there They weren’t the same They weren’t the same person It was a completely different existence, not Celiastina……

When he thought that, Asyut wondered if this was nothing more than a delusion froht The experience of falling down a cliff and nearly losing her life created another personality inside of her Wasn’t there a report that e? But it was clear that it wasn’t just hieness towards Celiastina What was the truth?

During the tiht have expressly coht know so that, if Asyut knew the answer to that strangeness, then at least Asyut ht show a reaction could be a clue

If that was the case, then would Neisan’s actions change depending on the answer? If he was personally out for revenge on Celiastina then, possibly, just knowing that she had no ive up However, if he wasn’t acting as an individual, and was acting as a anization then–

That was another large problem related to Celiastina

Recently, the people ere driven out of the royal palace due to the past Celiastina’s tyranny had gathered, and created an organization stating that they were against the saint

The existence of such an organization was known by the they needed to be concerned about, and so they didn’t particularly do anything and left the organization alone However, it seems lately that their nuthened On one hand, there ritten protests calh towns, but it was said that recently there was an increase in people who carried arer organization, the royal palace needed to take measures

And if Neisan was involved with such an organization then…

(As I thought, I had better reuard, by force if needed)

Just as his decision was settled alone

“Asyut, you free?”

A loud voice was heard clearly through the door It was the vice-captain of the Order of Holy Knights, Siegcrest

“Aa, the door’s unlocked”

Asyut replied to Siegcrest while feeling so that he had deep furrows between his eyebrows, he pressed his right hand against his forehead and sighed

Siegcrest entered the roo manner It seemed that he had finished his work already and thrown off his e into his sih he was armed with a sword, any one or two ruffians would be thrown to the ground and ended by his thick arms

“Were you heading to bed?”

As he spoke he sat down on the back of the sofa as if it were a natural thing to do, but Asyut didn’t bother rebuking him

“No”

“I see, that’s good”

“So, what’s wrong?”

When asked, Siegcrest returned a silly “ahh” noise
