Chapter 10 (2/2)
Daniel hears the words he doesn’t want to hear Daniel’s ears were reverberating with the voice er brother of a coward, as child of a coward It’s so ti that will now stir his heart However, all colours faded and vanished fro at it from a distant place
“You also know that I feel pity for your circu you, you still have a proper chance to rinse yourself froma Therefore… ill you do? I wonder if you won’t resolve such distress using your resourcefulness?” (Matthias)
Supposing there was one thing unfit to play its role within his hand, he will abandon it without a single shred of hesitation, if he is urged by necessity to i is definitely me He would definitely dismiss and abandon me now… Daniel accepted that fact indifferently
The story is siroup with my own funds, lead theovern aware of it The situation would result in likely obtaining fa to the substance of the Hakkinen household on that occasion… Such a swindle
Daniel realises the plot It doesn’t even matter if this ends in a success or failure At the tioes into action, Matthias will already have re it is soht if I destroy the thieves, but even if I don’t destroy them, it will probably be fine either way since the territory’s army won’t lose, even if they waste a few soldiers He just doesn’t feel inclined tomilitary materials
(Hu that has to be paid with assets and lives?) (Daniel)
Even while harbouring emotions that chill his interior due to those forceful methods, Daniel doesn’t consider this to be the worst He knew of situations that had an even worse conclusionLooking at it relatively, this degree is an unfortunate exaggeration
While being shaken in the carriage heading towards the inn close to the castle, Daniel showed a sarcastic smile
It was a pillar of flah it was a man, who lived the exact opposite life of his father and elder brother, he died on that day in those flamesThathis ene an army… hasn’t Salomon been killed by a vision of insanity?
There’s nothe reality of a cruel battlefield… even so killed by the illusions of this country It wasn’t so that bore reason or truth If somebody thinks that they want to do so and if some people approve of it, it will form into a dreahtmare
(Ah… I live in an absurd period where dreams trespass on reality Such emptiness) (Daniel)
Even as he gazes out through theat the city’s night, he doesn’t show any signs of soh-class lodging houses or the territory’s castle What Daniel desires is a woman That doesn’t eousness of a lady and neither one with the bewitch her own definite “innocence” with a neat and clean interior lacking any decorations… he wants to have a dreairl similar to snohite flowers
However, wild flowers are bloo firmly cut off from nature in this sht is soiving hi no e all over Daniel touches the ’s curtains with his hand But he doesn’t close it He hits two tie’s roof with his hand
It appeared as if he had seen aout like a sore thu
After the carriage stopped before long, he got down on the stone paving Telling the coach A faint scent of sake is drifting fro the bars of several certain territorial arh-class store Without even hesitating, he enters it
The inside of the store was deserted If it is an lower-class store, they will also serve cheap sake, but it see but expensive sake here Daniel recognises the aroma The quality of customers seems to be centred around non-coular soldier evenan appearance here
He understood this right away
A single child sat at a table far in the back Its body is wrapped in fine, tailored pelt clothes and it has a bundle arranged on its knees with proper manners The chair is too tall, thus its feet don’t reach the floor A girl… no, probably a boy? Although a child, I can’t even distinguish the gender Daniel felt astonishment and confusion And he considers this to be inevitable as well
That child was far too n object
In this world, where dreaue, only this child has a distinct and clear contour… it feels as if it is overwhels It’s not an obstinate reality nor is it the devilishness of a dreahtly the reins of either, Daniel hallucinated
(What… What’s this called? Why a? Is this sirl, really a huh it certainly isn’t some kind of witch or evil person either) (Daniel)
The child’s black hair is flowing s to open its mouth What kind of sound and words will it spin? Daniel impatiently waited for that
“… First Lieutenant-dono, would you introduce this Seargent-dono? No matter how I look at it, I think he is obviously different from the story” (Marco)
“No, well, he is different, however… he is a well-known person What’s this about?” (Axely)
Once he accidentally shi+fted his sight, he caught sight of the soldier sitting across the child Daniel recognised that man It’s Axely Anel, First Lieutenant of the territorial ar an appearance here and there for routine tasks, in spite of his rank He also ca Daniel’s mansion
“First Lieutenant Anel, huh?” (Daniel)
“Long time no see, Baron Hakkinen” (Axely)
Even as he tries to stand up to bow, this man somehow can’t conceal his happy facial expression Daniel prompted him with his eyes to not mind It’s not an act done out of pride as noble He doesn’t have the slightest idea in his mind how to deal with this child as if was mesmerized
“Baron, this child is called by the name Marco He is the apprentice of a peddler Marco, this esteeentleman is the head of the Baron Hakkinen household Even you should have at least been told about his honourable faht? Fix your manners in front of him” (Axely)
He looked at Daniel Descending to the floor, this child displays a flawless bow
Daniel shi+vered
He shtful smile However, what kind of smile is it?
The lonely wind bloithin Daniel’s mind ceased The ashen desert called desolation vanished as well Everything ended up being reduced to ashes by this fearsome smile The residue of the flaht possibly be madness… Daniel s time since he done that last
(I see, this is the real deal…) (Daniel)
How much tile word?
“Oyyy! I got here, Axely! Calling me on my off-duty day!”
An aged, angry voice burst with a bang The old soldier, who approached causing violent footsteps and having the rough nasal breathing of a drunkard, loudly opens his mouth towards Axely… and suddenly shrivelled With an appearance of peeking around restlessly, he now, after all that noise, asks Axely in a whispering voice,
“Oy, Axely, what’s all of this about? To what place did I coated the mercenaries and merchants, but…” (Old soldier)
Daniel laughed It was in an unexpectedly loud voice
He felt that so new had started
