Chapter 41 (1/2)
In the act of juoons, Rudel and Eunius had achieved splendid success They had succeeded, but therein lay the probleoon and Rudel- hile strong, was still a student- reer, at tiic attacks
”The real deal really is different!”
In contrast to Rudel's slight delight, Lili emotion welled and spoke to her
'Kill him! The fiancée who betrayed you… kill Rudel!!!'
”I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!”
Thinking of their difference in physique, Rudel's larger e But fro in too many fields There was no excess in Liliic activation and accuracy had been polished to the limit
A difference in experience irrelevant to power torht on to save Lilier than hih the pain to fulfill it
In Rudel's heart, he heard the voice of Lilion
'Child of man, what is your intent? Could it be you actually intend to save ht, but if you seriously care for her, then slay her! If she lives on, all that re'
To that dragonic voice resounding through his heart, Rudel reon to his back as he called out
”Taken over and tornize her! That's not how it should end!”
As Rudel smashed his sword into Lili movements, she skillfully redirected the force
”So you're even trying to take on this time… just like that, everyone always leaves It's always like that, because I'e them out at once and become the sort of me you like! So… so please don't abandon me!!!”
Lilim's black eyes shed tears, and Rudel looked at her in sorrow Right, Liliinal Rudel who never drea he sensed made for another reason he couldn't abandon Lilim
The original Rudel was a side character made to be hated, only to die a wretched death at the onset of the story's endganized by all, everyone would leave him Deserted by his fiancée Cattleya, he incurred casualties to the country as he fled and pleaded with the empire to let him defect
As a result, an ieneral cut histock of the imperial soldiers To the very end, a wretched small-fry side character But even Rudel had an i cut down by the enenaled the start of the final chapter
Rudel's death commenced the story's finale That was already set in stone, the will of the world
While Rudel didn't know anything about that, so in his heart pulled at him Perhaps that was precisely why he was so desperate to save Lilim
”It's the end! I'll kill you and die myself!”
As Liliic, Rudel pulled off his pant's belt and held it in his left hand Rudel's sas approaching its liht for ht eht that, he also took action to bring it to an end
From a little ways away, Cattleya and Eunius watched over the two But Eunius took just a little distance from Cattleya Cattleya was sure he was still wary of her But the man in question,
(Why does this woman smell so bad?)
He was unable to stand the smell of Mies' smokescreen
”… It's going to end soon I'd appreciate you didn't stop me this time Otherwise, Rudel-sama will die…”
”Ah? That guy ain't dying Up until he becoot no intent to die”
As Eunius answered full of confidence, 'what sort of basis is that!' Cattleya's eyes seeoons were just another division of the country's knights While their characteristics stood out, she ell aware the country only saw theht force at their disposal
Ideals ran contrary to reality… rather than the dragoon the country yearned for, the high knight that protected the important personnel of the country was more blessed in his work Away froain the trust of royalty as a guard, then promotion wasn't a dream
In contrast, the dragoons' workplace was erous And even if you earn the crown's trust, that trust would only have you plunged into even erous work
”What's there to yearn for? What's there to drea”
Hearing Cattleya's ht
”… Values vary frooons' duty, and he understands how they're used And he still doesn't give up… that's why I'm able to root for him”
After a look at Eunius' profile, Cattley returned her eyes to the battle
”I'm jealous… maybe that's why I hated him so much”
Rudel who could continue pursuing his dreams Cattleya felt herself envious of that part of hiirly princess But reality had her born to a e ht of her
Those talents that were enough to make everyone around envious of her were ones she never wanted to begin with If she was able to discard them, she would have done so at a ardens, and sturdy steel covered her dress… to Cattleya as raised in such a way, Rudel was too bright
She who lived just as she was told, and Rudel who pressed on towards his own dream Cattleya's eyes watched the two of them square off
The belt in Rudel's left hand wrapped around Liliht arm to seal it With that, both sides could only use one ared her knife to her left hand to cut at Rudel Rudel caught the bloith his sword, but
”Aha! Doesn't look like you can use that sword any longer”
Just as Lilim said, a crack spread across sword Rudel had used to learn every trick in the book Rudel could see it as well Lilio to waste This tis on her back As she did, the vibrations and a detestable sound assailed Rudel
”Kuh”
Rudel tried to escape froan to vibrate
”It's a technique I rarely get to use in battle, but… how about that? I can cut through iron like butter I'h your sword and into your heart”
