Holy Sword-4

The Senate was substantially disintegrated, in the form of a temporary freeze of surface area.

There were several reasons, but the final blow was still the wild card Leonardo.

The contents of the questions and answers shared at the hearing were recorded by the clerk and remained as a document, and it was forcibly seized by the Senate by the authority of California.

Because of California’s action power, the Senate did not have time to play around, and Marken and Chris who were present were also assured, so there was enough credibility.

And everyone in the Reinhardt family who learned of the hearing showed a consistent reaction of two tendencies.

1. The elders have grown old as a group.

or

2. If I had been to such a hearing, I would have gone out myself.

In fact, the actions of the Senators were as bad as the knights who kept their integrity and fidelity, and they were trying to pay for their sins by capturing the house of Sainte.

It was not that Leonardo did not defend or explain, however, and it was a logical and reasonable argument that even those who did not like or hated Leonardo would admit it.

The public opinion was that it was absolutely unacceptable to try to pay for a crime, even if it was not desirable, even if it was not possible to give the ball.

As a result, with the help of angry public opinion, Reinhardt’s dignitaries, including Gaju, came to freeze all the activities of the Senate.

Even then, the senators protested and quarreled, but the situation was dismissed with a single word from Californian Gladio Reinhardt.

– How many young people must sacrifice for your old age to be satisfied?

Above all, Zeron Reinhardt, who was a senator, also played a part in the fact that there was no resistance.

He had already prepared to freeze it, as if he had expected this to happen.

Thus, the Senate was officially frozen, tacitly disbanded, and internally buried.

***

Meanwhile, a busy meeting began in the mansion.

Making the information about the Senate as little as possible from leaking out to the media and organizing the system to lead the family without it was not something that could be done with ease.

The most astonishing thing was the treatment of Leonardo’s injuries.

“…that… there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Currently, the healer priest or paladin couldn’t be called, so the next best thing was to visit a healing wizard, but no one thought that such an answer would come out.

“…what does that mean?”

“I passed out… no pulse, no blood pressure, no internal or trauma. It’s just that the scars on the chest and some parts of the abdomen caused by the hasty cauterization cannot be erased…”

It was Leonardo who had been fighting to death just before. Perhaps even the Berserker was terrified to see the battle… It was hard to believe that there were no injuries at all.

“…as a magician, what am I supposed to say… unless there is a miracle…”

Everyone had their own reaction to the word miracle. At that time, the power of the Holy Sword that Ariaspil showed was like a miracle from God.

‘…Even Reuben Reinhardt, the first hero, drew the holy sword himself…’

In the case of Ariaspil, the holy sword itself flew and let him hold it in his hand.

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was not a succession of the legend of the hero, but a new one.

“First of all, I know. You’ve worked hard, so let’s go early.”

At Gladio’s words, the healing wizard took his bag and went out with an expression of no concern.

“The medication I am currently taking is a mana stabilizer and nutritional supplement, so it will happen as soon as I recover my energy. Please wake up and contact me again if you have any problems. I will come right away.”

By the time the magician specializing in healing went out, it was only then that all members of the Reinhardt family could feel the realization of this chaos and chaos.

“…what is all this…?”

Rios was the first to speak. Occasionally and rarely, with a face weighed down by fatigue and pressure, Rios raised a tense question.

“My granddaughter has become a hero, and with the Holy Sword, I defeated that ugly bastard… If I could sum it up briefly, this would be enough.”

Perhaps it was because Marken, who had spent the most years in this position, was the old knight who summarized this complex and esoteric task in one line.

“…obviously… it was an iron sword at first…”

Even Ariaspil, who was responsible for this, could not understand it. It wasn’t a conscious act, of course, and it couldn’t be said to be an instinctive or intuitive act.

It’s like a typhoon blowing from the sky, a tsunami coming from the sea, and an earthquake on the ground.

Just as no human being can handle nature.

“Yeah, at some point the holy sword flew and changed places.”

The feeling of the beginning of the sunrise was engraved on my hand.

“…can you handle the holy sword? aria?”

Chris asked while looking at the holy sword holding Arya. To keep confidentiality, it was first wrapped in cloth, but nevertheless, the divine energy like the sun was felt beyond the cloth.

“…that is…”

Arya took off the cloth to reveal the holy sword. Then he poked hard at his hand.

“What are you doing…!”

Everyone was speechless. Whatever it was, it was the legend of Reinhardt itself, a god saved from the demon king, and a famous sword comparable to any other sword in the world.

Such a holy sword…

“The day is dead.”

He couldn’t even get a scratch on one of his palms, let alone the Demon King.

“…I don’t think I’ve ever been fully recognized.”

It may have been natural without even thinking deeply about it. The Holy Sword had not been officially removed from the Reinhardt family storage, nor had an oracle descended from the temple.

so…

“By the way, haven’t you heard from the temple side?”

“…that’s the problem.”

The temple, to be precise, is the largest religious group in the kingdom that worships the god of light as the only god.

And Reinhardt is a descendant of the warrior family who received the holy sword bestowed by the God of Light.

These two groups were inextricably linked.

“Perhaps the temple side has already moved. They must have felt the divine power, so it won’t be too far to come.”

If it is the priest’s job to receive the original oracle and tell the revelation, and that is also related to the holy sword, it will be more difficult not to know.

“…Then, training as a warrior…”

“We should talk about that. Aria, now…”

“Ah, that’s…”

Arya was looking at Leo who was lying down. Seeing Arya’s face and eyes like that, Rios could sense the meaning there.

“Come on, first of all, let’s go out and talk. Aria must have been very tired too, but she needs to rest, right?”

“Then go out…”

Nunji turned to Chris, who was equivalently exchanging appearances, and Rios delivered an unspoken message with intense power to his eyes.

“Then go out… Let’s try to get in touch with the temple first.”

“…i get it.”

Perhaps Marken also vaguely understood the truth, and gave a short answer and nodded.

“Certainly, Rios’ words make sense. Then I’ll go first, so tell me when Leonardo-kun wakes up.”

Surprisingly, Gladio realized the true meaning of Leo and left the hospital room without knowing the back of the current situation.

“Yes. I know.”

Arya answered dryly and waved lightly to the outgoing family.

And as the steps gradually receded and became smaller, the vitality in Arya’s eyes gradually faded as well.

Knock-knock, tick-tock.

When Ariaspil couldn’t hear any sound, he walked to the door and locked it.

“…I know what happened.”

“…”

Leonardo exhaled and inhaled comfortably with only his breath, without a single movement.

It was strange that even the sage was quiet now, but in order to live long, he had to act as natural as possible.

“If you wake up now, I’ll be less angry.”

Bargaining was not a factor. Although he must receive an absolute promise to be angry “not” rather than “less”, Leonardo mustered up the courage…

“Dad! In that tower with Leo…!”

“I have sinned to death. miss. Help me.”

Still, I couldn’t die right away.

“Did you lie again? Is it your hobby? Or is it something special?”

“…that… so…”

damn!

With a light hitting sound, Leonardo’s face and cheeks had red bruises.

“I’m hurt, so I’ll move on to this for now.”

The slap on the cheek was a very cheap and humane punishment compared to what Ariaspil and Leonardo had done.

“…yes…thank you…”

damn

This time, I’m slapped on the cheek. I’d rather hit the same spot with a straight hit to the point where I’d rather hit another spot.

“Thank you? Is that what you mean now?”

It was as she said. What I would say now is not to express a comfortable feeling like gratitude, but to confess your sins against yourself.

“…sorry.”

Her mood was still unpleasant. Leo’s mistake was not to be rectified that much.

“What did I do wrong?”

There were countless things that went wrong.

Trying to leave the family arbitrarily, trying to quit a knight, and continuing to use harsh words and attacks even though there was an intention in a duel.

It was also a serious crime to keep a woman twisted like a dog in heat, and to remain insensitive without noticing her own heart.

“…I betrayed her trust…”

And Leonardo pointed out her displeasure through that one word.

“…I know it well.”

Perhaps she was relieved of her anger, Arya stopped her wrinkled hand. But there was still something unsolved.

“…Then why did you betray me?”

It was a question about him. Since he did not specify the suspicion he betrayed, he did not know that the answer to the question might be in an unexpected place.

“……”

“Answer me. Why?”

After hesitating for a moment, Leo opened his mouth.

“…I was afraid.”

Arya was speechless for a moment.

Did Leo say he was afraid now?

That Leo who has always confidently defeated any enemy?

“…I have nightmares every time.”

Soon after, Leo revealed his weakness for the first time. It must have been Leonardo’s deepest scar that he didn’t want to reveal to anyone, Arya thought.

“Without any notice… the lady… disappeared… and everything in the world was decided by that misfortune…”

For some reason, I thought that the story had already existed in the past.

“Every time I dream that dream, it feels like the time in my body freezes.”

Each time, Leo’s mind has to look endlessly even if he doesn’t want the still time.

“Every time that happens, all the food in the world is like iron powder heated by fire, and the water and air are like sulfuric acid… It was bitter and I felt like I was going to vomit…”

Why didn’t he know?

“A person’s hand feels like scraping the skin with sandpaper, and despite the whispering happiness… it’s like a double line that hints at the next misfortune… I can’t answer…”

Leonardo was always scary and hard.

Why did you think I was strong enough?

“…so I was afraid… if it really happened… what would I…”

wow…

Ariaspil was holding Leonardo at some point.

There was no causation.

It’s just that it’s hard for this boy to stop crying.

she thought

“…I can hear?”

Their chests touch each other, and the sound of their hearts touches. The beating of the heart signaled the existence of life.

“If you’re scared, I’ll keep hugging you.”

I wanted this boy to be happy.

“I will keep telling you that I am alive.”

I want you to take your own happiness for granted.

“Then don’t go.”

The boy’s shoulders shake intermittently. It was probably the last pride left for the boy to cry only with tears.

“Be by my side forever.”

She whispered so softly.

Each other’s warmth lingered on each other’s bodies for a long time.
