323 # 306 Gonesse Saint.txt (1/2)

In the meantime, I bound the knights of Gones with steel threads and contacted Princess Sarah. Then Garou-san and the knights came immediately.

I've heard about the situation from Princess Sara. But still, it really is Robert. And they're the ones who escaped from the zombie fiasco.

'According to Livina and Sephone, it looks like you're being manipulated, so I've neutralized it for now, but what should I do?'

I'll take them back for now. It's just that they're knights who belonged to our family, even though they're former. And thank you for not taking your life. And the little girl.

The girl who was approached by Mr. Garou said so takes off her hood. The girl was a junior high school-aged girl with short blonde hair and blonde eyes, dressed in a monastic uniform.

Which Valkyrie is it this time?

'My name is Jeanne. I am a citizen of Gones. Will you shelter me in the free tier?

I didn't expect to see a celebrity name come in. But they said something about executions, so it makes sense, oddly enough.

Jeanne is probably Jeanne d'Arc. She was a hero who saved France from the Hundred Years War between France and England.

She is also famous for being a tragic hero who was finally sentenced as a heretic by the Inquisition and died by fire. This was later overturned by the verdict and Jeanne d'Arc is the patron saint of France.

'Well, we've been illegally admitted to Fretia. You'll have to come with us anyway. You'll have to come with us. I'm sorry, but you're coming with us.

I understand.

But the borders are so loose. From what I heard later, it's physically impossible to defend all the borders. Apparently there are far too few knights to protect everything in the air, ground and water. It's only natural.

I listen to Jeanne's story again at Fretia Castle. First, Princess Sara-sama asks a question.

'First of all, is it correct to say that you are a nun of Gones?

'No, sir. I am a citizen of Gones.

I'm wearing my sister's clothes to the hilt.

Then what is your occupation?

”?　What is an occupation?

This is going to be... a long time coming. You'll have a rare opportunity to find out what's really going on in Gones. I have to ask.

You were doing something to make money, weren't you?

'Then I would pray to God every day.

It's...very nice, but you don't get paid for that, do you?

Can I get one?

...Yes? Do you get paid just for praying to God? That's what it is. There's no way that's how the economy works. ”What about the food?” asks Mr. Brass.

”So what are you doing about the food?

'We use money to buy the food the priests bring us.

If we're assuming this is what we're supposed to do, we're handing out money to people who prayed, selling food ourselves, and circulating the money... I don't think it's going to work.

Here's where Princess Sarah speaks to the heart of the matter.

'Then why did you have your life threatened?'

'I don't know... that day out of the blue, the Solemnity Knights came to our house and came to get our family for treason against God. I was told by my mother to run away, and then I was rescued by someone I knew of my father, and I fled to Freetia... but the Solemn Knights followed me, and this man saved me when I was pursued in that forest.

You can't get away with it alone in a situation where your life is being threatened by your country. But still, it's crazy that he's in the country illegally, and he's coming to kill Jeanne. Garou asks, ”Just in case.

''Just to be sure, do you know anything about that solemn knight?

'A solemn knight is one who executes punishment on behalf of God for the godless pagans. We know nothing else.

Well, I don't know. Then a knight under Mr. Brass walks in.
