“Tell me where His Highness is. – Spit it out!

Whipped on the back, slapped hard.

Bacilli, and the pain ran all over my body with the fierce sound. For a moment, my vision is enveloped in a dazzling light.

Hanging my hands in chains in a cold cell, I was interrogated for a long time.

I’m used to pain. So where I was interrogated, it doesn’t make sense.

But I’m worried about Mize. In that state, you’ll be the wingman to spend a few days in bed. In the meantime, I put aside enough food and drinking water to hold up hard…… it’s about her. There’s also the possibility of being impotent in search of me when I disappear.

When I was thinking of that, I was whipped in the back again.

“Ha, ha… this, you’re telling me to throw up!

“Hey, keep it around there. If you go on like this, you’re gonna die.”

From outside the cage, another man called out.

“… damn it, lick it”

A man with a whip gets out of jail with a shortness of breath.

Gachari and the lock of the cell were tightened.

“But are you sure we’ve been struggling with one of these guys before?

“Heh. I don’t know if he’s a war hero or something, but now he’s a worn rag. Leave me alone, or I’ll die.”

The two men looked down on me openly.

As Mize said before, intelligence forces also exist in the Kingdom of Arkedia. The men seemed to know about me, like the crew.

Things are different in other countries, even if they are regarded as heroes of the war in the Kingdom of Terraria.

For the kingdom of Arkedia, I was just a dangerous person.

“The King…”

Open your mouth and tell with a plundered voice.

“Call the king…”

After I told him so, the man was furious.

“You’re not calling me! We’ll kill you until you die.”

“- What can I do for you?

From the entrance, a man appears.

The man who was interrogating me earlier accidentally dropped a whip at the appearance of the person wearing the fine red cape.

“Heh, Your Majesty! Why are you here?

“What, it would be natural to want to see who you’ve been messing with at first sight”

Rödleiten-Arkedia.

The present king of the Holy Arkedia kingdom stared at me from the outside of his cell, saying so.

Tall and fit. Piercing locks seep out of straight stretched spines and wrinkles carved into your face, at least you can see that you are not the king of decorations.

But his eyes were somewhere cloudy.

Rather than a confident eye as one who stands above people – it looks like an ugly eye, like one who finds the weak and mocks them.

“You are Mize’s father.”

“Oh. Sure, I’m Arr (…) ‘s father”

The way I put it, I laughed unexpectedly.

“You’re calling my daughter.”

“Raw hatred, but I’ve never treated you like a daughter. I used to expect growth as a tool to make my country thrive… but now it’s a war-generating gunpowder”

With a lowly grin, Rhodleiten said.

“In order to preserve the peace of the country, I need the corpse of an array. So… just spit that place out!

Road Lieten exposes his anger.

Until we show Mize’s body, the takeover of The Way of Wisdom will not end. Sacrificing Mize for the sake of the country already seemed to be a decision in the Road Lieten.

“Negotiate, want to”

“What?

“I want to discuss how we don’t have to kill Mize”

With that said, Road Lieten laughed a lot.

“Heh, heh! Apparently you haven’t been able to read the situation!

Road Lieten stares at me with a hard eye.

“We are also moving in tandem with the forces of the Kingdom of Terraria…. sounds like you had a lot of intense fights before you got here? Even if you don’t open your mouth, you’re already dying. All I’m asking you about is where you are, and I just want to save you the trouble of finding the body. There’s no bargaining…… either way I’m gonna die”

Road Lieten said with a delightful laugh.

“… right”

I’ve never met Road Lieten, but he was generally the person I expected.

Chris once told me that nobility moves more favourably than love. Road Lieten may be typical of that. An appeal by affection is unlikely to work for this man.

Now, I don’t want to make things easier.

He turned his face upwards and spit out the stone spot that was in his mouth, chained up with his arms bound.

◆

Not long before Too Eight and Road Lieten face each other.

Chris was guided by military personnel from the Arkedia kingdom and was on his way to Tuate.

“Twenty-eight surrendered, really?

“Yes. I’m holding him prisoner now. However, Her Royal Highness Princess Meesheliase is nowhere to be found…”

Surrender is a bright red lie at a time when you are not with your escort, Meesheliase.

Shaking his uniform, Chris thinks.

Perhaps Mescheriase is still trying to escape somewhere. Or you can’t move because of circumstances. As a too-eight, he may want to draw some attention to the search by piercing his silence against the interrogation.

“This way.”

A soldier around the age of thirty or forty continues to guide Chris in a polite manner.

It was in the big hall that I was guided.

“Very, very luxurious.”

I was told that this city, on the eastern tip of the Arkedia kingdom, is somewhat rural and not very well equipped. But the interior of the building where Chris was guided is very luxurious and obviously not for ordinary people.

“For a few days now, His Majesty has stayed in this hall.”

“Your Majesty?

“You can’t give the Second Prince his Royal Highness the princess Meesheliase. Even for restraint against them, His Majesty took an immediate leg…. Thanks to Dear Chris’ troops for a good fight, we were able to drive 28 into the land. Thank you very much.”

The Kingdom of Arkedia is no fool either. Apparently, while Chris and Oz steadily hunted down Too Eight, they were deploying an operation to drive Too Eight into the city.

It was clear from that foothold that Tuate was aiming for the Republic. Then the operation of waiting for Tuaite in this land, which is the halfway point between the Kingdom of Terraria and the Republic, is not bad. Probably would have been caught by them somewhere, even if Too Eight hadn’t surrendered.

“So, which is the key, Your Majesty…”

“His Majesty is now meeting with 28 in the dungeon”

“… what?

Chris opened his eyes to the soldier who told him to be comfortable.

“… you’re not seeing him in person, are you?

“Ha, don’t worry. 28 is going to jail and hurting him with his hands and legs tied. There are military men like us waiting in the dungeon, and as long as we talk across the iron lattice, we won’t have a problem.”

“No! That’s not enough!

Anyway, if we had restrained the man with our own hands, this time the man had offered himself a neck.

It’s decided there’s something behind it. No mouth, no eyes, no ears, no nose, should make everything you can think of.

Moment – my feet rocked violently.

Suddenly, Chris kneels.

“What, what’s the shake now?!?

“This is… no way, dungeon!?

Through the midst of the werewolf soldiers, Chris ran to the dungeon.

Down the stairs, beyond which we reached…

“Hih!?

Lord Lieten, king of the kingdom of Arkedia, leaks a frightened voice.

Behind it, there was a man with frigid cold eyes.

“Chris…. That was a little late.”

Tweet says, with a blade on the king’s neck.

“Say it again. – Road Lieten Arkedia, I want to negotiate with you.”
