Under Metz’s instructions, I arrived at the throne room with my hands tied –

“General… … !”

“You’re here, General Gail… … .”

“Seria… … ? Even Prince Mügeldorf… … .”

All of the generals who led the troops were kneeling in their pajamas, tied up.

Guile instinctively realized that the empty space in between was his seat, walked towards it, sat down, and then turned his head to look at Metz.

“What the hell is going on, Mets?”

“Look around. Then you will understand the situation.”

When you hear those words and then look around-

The armed generals of Tepelo Castle were glaring at their direction.

This atmosphere. Those eyes looking at themselves.

‘no way… … !’

The moment when Guile finally realizes something.

From beyond – Castle Lord Lunarien slowly walked towards this place.

“Everyone is here.”

“… … Luna Ball! What on earth is going on?”

At Guile’s words, Luna looked down at them with a very cold expression and said.

“General Gail. General Seria. And General Mugendorf. I apologize to the three of you, but I think you will have to remain quiet for the time being. If you cooperate well, I will not risk your life, so I hope you will stop your anger.”

“No, they suddenly arrested me and now they keep asking for my cooperation… … !”

at that time.

Guile, who was lost in thought about something, looked at Luna’s face and spoke in a trembling voice.

“No way, Luna-dono… … Are you planning to start a rebellion?”

“… … .”

“Say it! Are you planning to stab the master in the back who, despite being an outsider, has no personal feelings and firmly believes in Lord Luna?! I don’t know about anyone else, but isn’t Luna not supposed to do that to her lord?!”

Luna doesn’t respond to Guile’s words.

The ruby-red eyes were particularly cold today.

“Master Karelia… … Makana Karelia is not the right person to conquer difficult times. In order to establish true peace, I just don’t think the current lord’s methods are suitable. That’s just it.”

“Say that… … !! Not from anyone else, but from your own mouth… … !”

Guile shouted in a voice full of anger.

“Chaeksa’s… … Vanessa was right! You were not trustworthy!”

“Be careful what you say, General Guile! Vanessa, that person is Luna-!”

“Mets.”

Metz immediately silenced Luna’s words.

It is not difficult to realize that this means that you should not mention the fact that you were the first to suffer.

“Francis. Help Metz keep these guys in the dungeon until the situation is sorted out.”

“”Yes!””

“This can’t be happening! Luna Ball! You will regret it! This rebellion will never succeed—”

puck!

Metz hit Guile hard on the back of his neck.

With that, Guile, who had been talking endlessly, suddenly quieted down.

Metz sighed briefly, looked at Seria and Mugendorff on either side of him, and spoke.

“I just knocked him out for a moment. As long as you cooperate well, I have no intention of being violent towards you. We will release it once the situation is resolved, so please remain quiet for the time being.”

“… … .”

Seria and Mugendorff could not say anything.

Well, because there was nothing they could do in this situation.

So, the three generals who commanded the troops headed to the dungeon under the leadership of Metz.

Luna approached Francis, who was left alone, and asked in a serious tone.

“What is the situation of the generals who followed the generals?”

“Currently, I have ordered everyone to be captured… … Isn’t there someone among these people who can be persuaded to follow us?”

Luna shook her head resolutely at Francis’ words.

“No. It would be better to imprison all the generals who came from outside the castle, except for those who worked inside Tepelo Castle. As General Gail said, treason has a low chance of success, so I think the right answer is to trust only those who can be completely trusted.”

You can worry before making a decision, but since you have already made a decision, you have to be more cool-headed than anyone else.

Francis was once again impressed by Luna’s appearance and bowed his head.

“… … All right. I was short-thinking.”

To Francis, who lowered his head, Luna finally relaxed her face and spoke with a bitter smile.

“No. rest of it… … I’ll leave that to Francis. Can you do it?”

Francis blushed slightly at Luna’s words, but then answered boldly in a loud voice.

“Yes! We will arrest them all and imprison them. There is no need to worry, as we will take responsibility for organizing it.”

Even Francis left with his troops.

In the quiet throne room, Luna finally let out a long sigh.

From earlier, her body had been shaking continuously.

It felt like my legs would lose strength even now and I would collapse.

To be honest, I didn’t know how to respond when Guile looked at me with those eyes that seemed to devour me.

Because what he said was right. No matter how much Vanessa planned to do such a thing, it was only in the planning stages-

What Luna was doing now, when nothing had happened, was, from a third party’s perspective, very morally wrong.

Luna was not a bold person. Rather, he was closer to the timid side.

He wasn’t a cunning person either. If you are eaten by someone like that, you will be eaten. It would be safe to say that humans are like herbivores.

I decided to start a rebellion, but I had no idea how to do it. Because he was an honest person who lived his life without even thinking about treason.

Nevertheless – she had a guide. A person who was with me for a short period of time, who always kept his cool, and who was in the exact opposite position to me.

‘If you are Swen… … ‘You must have said this.’

She had a sure compass – Swen.

How many times have you not followed the answer derived from the question, ‘What would Master Swen have done?’ when deciding not to rebel and then to rebel again.

The judgment that it would be safe to bring in all external personnel and start a rebellion with only internal personnel was a decision made because Swen would have said so.

Of course, even if Luna used him as a trickster, the period was not long and he was definitely a stranger, so it was close to impossible to completely read his psychology –

Just by thinking and acting like that, I didn’t feel afraid of anything.

Even though our bodies were not there, it seemed like our hearts were always together.

I’m not afraid because I have Swen.

Because I have Swen, I can do anything.

The existence of Swen played the biggest role in allowing the timid Luna to thoroughly control this situation from a calm perspective.

‘… … you can do it. I have to do it. I am… … ‘You should never miss an opportunity.’

In this way, Luna throws herself into the torrent of turbulent times and willingly puts her white hands into the waves full of dirty filth.

Everything to keep the promise to Swen.

At this point, the presence of Swen had become much bigger than when she was next to him, and was occupying a strong corner of her mind.

After the situation was somewhat resolved.

In the throne room late at night, everyone called the ‘Lunarien faction’ gathered together and stood on either side of Luna, who was sitting in the castle lord’s chair.

And soon after-

Two men walked over, knelt down, and spoke.

“I’ve been there, Luna.”

“Every single one of them was imprisoned.”

Luna bowed her head as she looked at Metz and Francis, who were the first to lend a helping hand.

“You both worked really hard.”

at that time.

Violet, who had been quietly listening from the side, cautiously opened her mouth.

“Luna. You forgot to give an important command.”

“A command?”

“This is a story about the treatment of those imprisoned when they are seen to be trying to overthrow the situation without relenting their rebellious spirit.”

“… … .”

Luna, understanding the true meaning of Violet’s words, lowered her head.

Even though I know that I have already taken action and cannot go back… …

It was difficult to face the responsibility that had to be placed on her shoulders.

“Please make a decision, Luna.”

okay.

Why hesitate now?

In order to be proud in front of Master Swen, I had to take responsibility for everything here.

“Mets. You are in charge of managing the dungeon, right?”

“Yes.”

“If the prisoners show suspicious behavior while imprisoned or show no signs of suppressing their rebellious spirit… … I will give you the authority to take immediate action on the spot. I will take full responsibility.”

Metz bowed his head and responded loudly to Luna’s words.

“Old!”

Since I had decided to attack the enemy in the back, I couldn’t show any signs of backing down.

If you don’t do this or that, you’ll end up getting eaten.

Luna finally made a decision… … He slowly stood up from his seat.

and.

At this moment, he looked at the people following him.

Tifa, my childhood friend who was always by my side.

And, at some point, Kane came to his country and provided a lot of help.

Three young blood that Kane had brought in and raised – Francis, Charlotte, and Violet.

In addition, the generals who came to Karelia and followed him, including Metz.

“Everyone.”

Luna engraves each of those people’s faces in her mind.

And, even though he was not here right now, he thought of the face of the man who would one day become his advisor once more.

“From now on, I intend to leave Karelia and establish a new nation in Tepelo Castle. Would you please leave Karelia and follow me as its monarch?”

“”Yes!””

After deeply cherishing everyone’s determined voices once again –

He pulled out the sword from his belt and held it out in front of him.

I can’t entrust the world to Serpina or Rin.

and… … Even Karelia cannot be left in charge of the world.

Still keeping that thought in mind –

Carefully, remove those lips.

“I, Lunarien Inian, from today onwards, I announce that the new Lunarien Army has been launched! The capital is Tepelo Castle. Please help me. For the countless people who are in despair, we promise to end the turbulent times and open an era of peace!”

The Lunarien army, who had once expressed its will at Zeeland Castle, but was so vainly withdrawn from the stage of history –

After a long time, it was the moment when it appeared again on the southern continent.
