122 122 "Siblings of the Royal Palace" (2/2)

Then, if the surviving Sin is discovered to be the king's bloodless sister, it will definitely be targeted again.

To prevent this, you must tell the people in the palace that it was your sister who died during the attack and your brother who survived.

Therefore, in order to survive, Shin may have abandoned her sisterhood and pretended to be a man in order to survive as her brother.

There was no other way for Shin to survive.

I don't know how much resolve and pain Shin had to endure after losing his beloved mother and brother and being left alone.

I can't help but sympathize with Shin when I think about it.

...... does no one know about it?

...... only one person. The Kingsguard, who was my mother's bodyguard at the time. He was kind to me and my mother, who was a concubine at one time, and he was the one who suggested this way to keep me alive. He was the only person in the palace I could trust. He still stands by my side as my military strategist.

Then, seeing that smile, I feel a little bit of relief.

Seeing that smile, I'm just a little bit relieved.

It's true that Shin is going through a difficult situation.

But even so, there was someone to lend a little help along the way.

When I learned that, I felt a new desire to help for this girl.

It's better to help than not to help, and that's my motto.

I simply wanted to help Shin.

I don't want to lie to you about my desire to save you, even out of pity.

Sin. I'd be happy to help you with anything. Of course I won't tell anyone about it, just relax.

You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

”Huh? I'm not doubting you. You don't need to be told that now. It's a good idea to focus on solving the country's demon problem, not on me.

He was just as cocky as when we first met, but somehow it seemed cute now.

I know, I know, I know. So, well, I guess we'll be up early tomorrow. I'll have you hunting demons in the desert again like today.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

...... I'm counting on you, Kyou-san.

◇ ◇ ◇

Oh well, it took longer than I expected to meet up with you.

With that said, the girl - one of the seven great heroes known as the Beastman Brave - Lily gets off from the Kobda that she has been riding in, as if in a hurry.

Since then, she and her brother talked slowly and spent time as brother and sister for the first time in a long time, and Lily arrived at the Arabian Kingdom to follow Kyou.

It's probably already been a few days since Kyou came to this country.

It might not be of much use to you if you came at this time, but the urge to stay close to him nevertheless, which I don't understand, made Lily head towards the palace where Kyou is said to be.

But just then, you'll notice that the people in front of the palace are in a hurry.

Soldiers, servants, maids, and various other people are moving about in a hurry.

You'll be able to see the person in charge in front of the palace just as you're about to ask someone what's going on.

Is that ...... Shin?

It was the one who had brought Kyou to this country, and his expression was somewhat more impatient than ever before.

”Shin, what's going on. What's going on here?

”!　Lily!

When Lily appears, a look of surprise appears on her face.

But the next moment, the words that came out of Shin's mouth made Lily look even more astonished.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get rid of it.

”What?!

It was a startling revelation that made Lily's heart flutter like never before.
