Dale adopted Erile to her room on the finish of a hall linked to the principle corridor, taking a seat at a small and easy picket desk by the window as she walked to a cupboard close by, grabbing a small tea set earlier than placing it on the desk.

“Right here… I boiled it earlier than you arrived, it isn’t as scorching as earlier than but it surely’s nonetheless greater than heat.” She stated with a smile as she poured Dale some tea

“Tea? I do not see that round these elements…” Dale stated with a small smile as he felt the perfume of the tea within the air

“Sure… Folks right here do not appear to have the apply to drink it however again house, it was nearly sort of obligatory, studying brew and drink it for the Aristocrat events.” She replied in an exhausted tone as she remembered her tutelage as she grew up

“I did not have a lot materials to work with, however a number of the retailers introduced tea leaves with them… Although it could be extra right to say I had them convey some, a bit egocentric however I do not remorse it as I will have some for some time.”

“Actually, being like this, uncaring about conserving formalities and appearances is liberating, but, I typically see myself returning to these previous habits.” She stated as she raised a teacup to her lips

“Uhum… Similar to now?” Dale requested as he checked out her fingers

Erile had certainly one of her pinky fingers raised, it was moderately stylish…

“Oh!… Sure, like now.” She stated with a chuckle as she put the teacup down

“… It is superb, can I go by and have a cup each now and again?” Dale requested with a smile as he checked out his Standing display

[Populus Tea-> Mental Power +5]

As per normal, a meals merchandise gave him a buff, albeit a weak one.

Nonetheless, Dale wasn’t shocked, as regardless of not being a Cook dinner and therefore unqualified to organize particular meals with buffs, Erile’s teas have been ok to qualify by the System’s parameters.

When he first drank it, he was fairly shocked, not anticipating Tea to have such advantages, however then once more, a Tea may be interpreted as a potion, no matter how offended an alchemist will turn into upon listening to this assertion.

“After all you possibly can, I might be honored.”

[Erile’s intimacy has risen slightly]

“And… Thanks, I used to be by no means superb at it, however after failing a thousand instances, it turned muscle reminiscence… Even when it is nonetheless less than par.”

She chuckled, reaching for her air as she brushed it, gazing on the window and the surface, her eyes distant as she regarded for previous recollections.

“In comparison with me, Xon is a lot better… Oh! I by no means informed you about him, did I?” Erile stated as she realized her blunder

She blinked rapidly, trying straight into his eyes, like two emeralds shining brightly.

“You have not, however I am all ears, we do have the time.” He stated with a smile as he waited for her to talk

‘Her Buttler, he could not come as that might not solely break her disguise, it could additionally disrupt her plans.’

‘He was one of many diversions she left behind so her father would not understand simply how far her “trip journey” really was.’

‘For everybody again in her hometown, Erile simply went on a small trip to loosen up, however in reality, she basically fled house to hunt one thing her grandmother typically spoke about…’

‘Both out of curiosity or respect, although she did obtain a “revelation” from her Goddess.’

‘It is a sophisticated scenario… Or not, it relies upon…’

“W-Nicely… Xon is…”

For the subsequent couple of minutes, Erile narrated a narrative, finally chaining into a number of different tales as Dale saved asking questions.

Time flew by as she talked however Dale didn’t cease her, solely including extra gasoline to the fireplace by exchanging tales along with her, laughing along with her sometimes as he did so.

[Erile’s intimacy has risen considerably]

It appeared that simply by listening and speaking along with her, their relationship strengthened. She started to open up, little by little because the moments handed by.

However finally, she started discussing what she heard from the Soundbox…

To simplify issues, Erile simply performed your complete soundbox to Dale, and simply as he remembered, it took effectively over half an hour for your complete ‘podcast’ of the Commander to finish, nearly inflicting him to sleep halfway by way of.

Although he did not in fact, in any other case Erile would’ve gotten upset… Though she did yawn as soon as as she watched by way of it once more.

It was necessary to say that this wasn’t her second time listening to it, nor her third…

‘Ultimately… It labored, as quickly sufficient, the Corps fell…’

‘I’m wondering what the king thought when he realized that? Did he really feel it was a disgrace or did he really feel relieved? Regardless, he would not reside to see the results of his actions so who cares, proper?’

‘Leoseus handed his Title to his son, and finally, it got here the time for his grandson to rise to the throne…’

‘However in an excessive and violent incident, three complete generations of the Royal Household have been all brutally murdered, abandoning solely offshoots, the brothers and sisters of the previous Kings.’

‘For the coincidence it was, they have been now the one Royals with a veridic declare to the throne… However then, catastrophe struck once more, and all girls have been slain.’

‘Why girls? For one motive solely, the traditions of the Empire.’

‘The Title can solely be handed to males, which means if a King has 4 sons and he passes the Title to 1 with the ceremony, if he perishes earlier than having a correct successor, the opposite brothers will not ever have a correct declare within the throne.’

‘And neither would a sister have, if she have been to exist… However she has one factor they don’t have… She will foster a brand new era.’

‘A child born throughout the Royal Blood, if a son is born, he would have the {qualifications} to partake within the battle for the Throne and certain will, and for those who survived the onslaught of the Royal Household’s loss of life. Such a factor might be disastrous.’

‘Within the letters between the Commander and lots of of his associates, it appeared that the loss of life of the Royal Household was one thing he had foreseen, not orchestrated.’

‘For too lengthy the present Royal Household has uncared for necessary points and along with his energy, he managed to look into the darkness beneath the curtains, the Royal Household’s time was quick approaching, and so they knew it… They have been simply unable to totally defend themselves. The culprits have been too proficient.’

‘And that is one thing that pales me even now, the potential of a bunch or particular person that may carry out such a feat within the territory of the Imperial Arms…’

‘There’s a ploy occurring within the Heart of the Continent, a company, a bunch, somebody, that has a deep-rooted hatred for the present dynasty, and he nearly succeeded in carving them out of this earth.’

‘I say… That is the shadow of a Predominant Storyline, a thriller grand and important sufficient which will chain along with many, many different points, finally resulting in an “finish”, probably the delivery of a New Technology of Adapters… However that’s one other matter altogether.’

‘Both means… The present Royal Household is an illegitimate one, descendants of different Noble Households with heavy ties to the unique Royal Household however not direct ones.’

‘Erile is now the only real feminine descendent of the unique line, her Second-order great-grandfather was Emperor Jumieus, and her great-granduncle was Emperor Leoseus.’

‘Not solely that, her bloodline is “pure”, having solely Excessive Nobles as her ancestors from her Nice Grandmother’s time to now, together with even the Commander of the Corps, a person of nice energy, energy, and respect, even when that solely prolonged to the South.’

‘Apart from, she now has turn into a Saintess and if she receives help from the Arkesian Church, her affect would attain an all-time excessive.’

‘Her existence would doubtless shake the political scene of the Empire if it was confirmed, not that it is arduous… Her Crimson hair says rather a lot.’

‘Crimson hair is related to the Royal Household, they are saying that each one of those that possess it are linked to them in a method form, or type, many Nobles possess it, treating it as a token of royalty.

‘I significantly discover it troublesome for a single household to carry such genetic heritage, however this thriller is one thing that may solely be solved by following the clues left behind within the Commander’s letters, or in different phrases, to depart the South in the direction of the central elements of the Continent.’

‘For a single group to own a particular genetic trait says rather a lot about what they may probably be… The final descendants of one other extinct group? A thriller with nice attainable repercussions…’

‘Heck, for all that is attainable, the Royal Household might be the descendants of an necessary group of the Previous Empire, that is not fully not possible to consider, is it? Everybody has ancestors, and it needed to have handed by the Previous Empire, although if that is important or not might be left for a participant to determine someplace down the road.’

‘For Erile, this revelation bears weight because of the phrases her Grandmother used to inform her and of her upbringing as a Noble.’

‘Seeing herself because the final rightful inheritor of the Royals should’ve made her coronary heart beat with energy and need, solely to be curbed by the waters of her incompetence.’

‘As she’s now, she would solely be utilized by the present Royals, to be bred and strengthen their declare of the throne, even when it meant a point of inbreeding…’

‘A horrifying thought to entertain, however a actuality the Nobles would not hesitate to comply with by way of if it meant solidifying the Royal Familie’s dwindling energy.’

‘Presently, the Royal Energy falls to the fingers of a younger and lately topped Emperor after the sudden retirement of the earlier one, the instances are altering and the political scene is unstable and stuffed with strife for territory, energy, and wealth.’

‘That is how the Continent operates.’ Dale thought as he listened to the ultimate phrases of the Commander

“… And regardless of every part, do know that out of everybody, you are the one one which I ever and can ever love, be it on this lifetime, or a number of extra sooner or later.” The Commander stated with a lightweight gasp because the sounds of clashing and battle died out exterior of his chambers

The Audio of the Sound Field had been remodeled a number of days, and with every, the Commander’s restlessness grew fairly visibly…

And now, he was taking his closing gasps, the second earlier than his loss of life, the place the Elite Troopers of the Corps all fell simply exterior of his Workplace.

The autumn of the Southern Corps.
