Orc Eiyuu Monogatari Sontaku Retsuden - CH 39.1

Chapter 39. The Messenger of Peace

Nazar Gainius Grandorius. The third son and second prince of the human royal family Grandorius. He was the strongest human swordsman and the prince of the celestial realm who defeated the Demon King Gediguz. He was undoubtedly a hero.

Though his life was not always so glorious…

The first act of his life began with his defeat. Nazar had a sister. Liscia Gainius Grandorius. She was his twin sister.

She was brilliant. Ever since Nazar was a baby, she had always defeated him. First, at birth, since Nazar was born after Liscia. She was the first to suckle her mother’s milk, the first to crawl, and the first to stand on two legs, all of which she did first.

When she began to wield a sword, the differences began to show, so clearly that those around them could undoubtedly see them. In swordplay, in speed of foot, in learning. Nazar could not surpass his sister in anything.

But that did not mean the prince lacked talent. Had Liscia not been born, Nazar would have been the strongest human in history. The human king of the time, the man who was Nazar’s grandfather, ordered his father to raise the two without separating them. He firmly believed that these twins would change the course of the war. The promise was kept, and Nazar and Liscia were raised in the same way, becoming the most powerful twins of all.

Liscia inherited the Thundercloud Treasure Sword, and Nazar inherited the Sun Treasure Sword, both treasures of the human royal family. “The Princess of the Descending Heaven” and “The Prince of the Coming Heaven”. When they heard their names, even the most famous enemy generals trembled.

It would be a lie to say that Nazar did not feel inferior. However, the war situation at that time was so bad that he could not afford to worry about such things. Rather, he was comforted by the presence of his sister, whom he could trust completely. They were not distant from each other. They were always together, eating the same food, watching the same things, telling the same jokes, laughing at the same things. Nazar knew all about Liscia. So they never had any problems because of his inferiority complex.

But that didn’t last forever.

Liscia was a woman who was always one step ahead of Nazar. She would enter the battlefield one step ahead of him, kill one more enemy than he did, and save one more ally than he did.

And she died before Nazar.

She stayed behind with a few suicide squads to let his allies escape on the fierce battlefield, and she never returned. Not that they saw the body. Everyone said Liscia was a smart girl and must have escaped and is still alive somewhere. But then the enemy forces shouted that they had “defeated the human princess Liscia”, and the enemy command rose up as well, and everyone despaired. Liscia was undoubtedly the hope of the humans.

Nazar internalized that he would probably die on the next battlefield. It had always been that way. He was one step behind, but there was nothing he could do that Liscia could not. There was nothing that had happened to Liscia that hadn’t happened to him.

That was why he would die. That was the way it was.

With that in mind, he went into the next battle. And he survived. In the decisive battle in the Lemium Highlands, they defeated the Demon King Gediguz.

From then on, the battle was like a dream. Victory after victory. There were a few defeats, but in the end they did not affect the outcome.

In a short time, Nazar had earned his reputation as a human prince and a hero for killing Gediguz… Liscia’s name had all but disappeared from people’s memory. No, most people remembered when they heard of her, but they would say, “Oh, there was such a person”, and nothing more. The heroes of each country were left in the past when they died, and then the next hero would appear. Sometimes, like Hero Leto, they were remembered for a long time if the next hero did not appear, but most of the time they remained only in the memory of those who killed them, and only in poems in their honor.

But Nazar remembered. The days when he talked with Liscia. The wild story she told him the day before she died. The story of a dream world that Nazar could not imagine and listened to with a blank stare. A world where all races held hands and there was no conflict.

Then, when the war tipped completely in favor of the Four Races Alliance, Nazar decided to do something. He decided to make what Liscia had said come true. To bring peace to the world.

That’s why he came up with the idea of peace before anyone else. That’s why Nazar would be “Nazar Liscia Gainius Grandorius”. He was Nazar, he was Liscia, and he was also a world peace planner.
