Chapter 56 (1/2)

We are observing how the situation is going to turn out at a slightly elevated hilltop where we can get a bird's-eye view of the Bondo plains. Horses with their rider were lined up in a columns conspicuously with the forest is just behind their back. I move my eyes through their formation on the Bondo plains, it’s a situation where the war can begin at any moment.

At the back of each formation there was male and female who are able to be seen even from a distance because of their red hair. Probably, they are Naminissa’s older brother and older sister. Currently each one seems to be giving a war speech to their soldier, though I couldn’t hear it. But it’s likely the war will begin once they finished their speech respectively.

I look at Naminissa next to me. She was watching the scene with a sad face.... I don’t want to see her with such a face....

[What shall we do? Naminissa-sama. It seems impossible to approach the two of them inside this crowd of army] (Orlando)

Orlando also floated a severe expression. Not only him, both Floyd and Kumia-san have the same faces.

[Let’s see....... first, there should be around 100 holy knights under the command of my older brother and my older sister respectively] (Naminissa)

[ [ [ ..... ] ] ]

[Persuading the knight would be difficult.... they have pledged their allegiance to my older brother and older sister directly. It would be a different story if we talk in the peace-time but when it comes to a battlefield.... to be honest, I couldn’t think any measure right now.... while being called the Bloodless Holy Princess, I’m powerless when it comes to a fight.... at this rate, not only my older brother and older sister.... it will also bring harm to the knights] (Naminissa)

Naminissa covered her face that is about to cry. I look at her condition and made up my mind. I gently take her hands from her face and look at her with a serious expression.

[Wazu-sama....] (Naminissa)

I would like to see her gentle smile that soothed people’s heart.

[I.... what should.... I do....?] (Naminissa)

So I decided it.... even if I couldn’t be together with Naminissa....

[Orlando, I am going. Perhaps, that group will come to attack again and I don’t know whether I could get back here at that time, so I leave this place to you] (Wazu)

[Please...... and be careful] (Naminissa)

[Who are you talking to? Floyd or Kumia-san....? I will protect Naminissa-sama without need to ask] (Orlando)

[It’s natural thing to do] (Floyd)
