[Re0] Sword Princess Hand Letters

Chapter 9 re9: The oath to protect with all my strength

When she awoke again, Evelyn seemed calm.

The time went back to a few days ago, and Reinhardt took Felut and several relatives back to the mansion. Only Evelyn and a loyal and reliable old housekeeper were left in the huge mansion.

She opened the window. It was morning, and the streets were incredibly lively. The colorful flags above the streets were fluttering in the wind. It was the national flag of Veronica, the pro-dragon empire.

"Huh..." Evelyn let out a long sigh of relief with complicated emotions. No wonder Reinhardt doesn't like people talking about her grandmother. No wonder when he looked at himself, there was tender and guilty nostalgia in his eyes.

It turns out that Grandma Teresia...has passed away.

On the day my grandmother went out to fight against the white whale, Reinhardt hugged her younger self. During the battle, the protection of her grandmother was accidentally transferred to Reinhardt. The woman who slackened her sword training was severely injured by the sharp teeth of the white whale. , stay forever on the bloody battlefield flying that day.

And grandfather Wilhelm also left Astrea's house from that day on.When returning home, Reinhard hugged himself tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

In the battle against the white whale, Evelyn unconsciously used magic at the moment when her grandmother was about to die. A man who should have the power to destroy the world was unable to control it because the caster was too weak. of magic.

The archbishop who wanted to attack her grandmother was beheaded by her, and the white whale was severely injured by her. The price was that her "door" tore open and lost control, and had to be sealed.

In order to protect her, the elders of the clan managed to seal her "door", including her memory of witnessing her grandmother die in front of her, which was requested by Reinhardt.

At that time, he begged that Evelyn should not be left with such a cruel memory. He would take up the sword, become the most powerful sword master in history, and protect her well.

When facing the white whale again, she unconsciously used that power, the seal was released, and the memory returned to her brain.After so many years of growth, she has been able to freely control part of the power of the "door", but her grandmother still cannot come back.

It was because of her incompetence, time and time again, whether it was grandma or Lai Yuesubaru, it was all because of her incompetence.

...It's all because she's too weak.

The girl's suppressed sobs, small and thin, gradually spread in the room.

On the other side, Lai Yue Subaru, who woke up from the apple stand, was also crying, but unlike the girl swordsman's introverted crying, the blue-haired maid couldn't help but worry: "Subaru, what's wrong with you?" ?”

"——Rem." It seemed that he realized that he had lost his composure, and Subaru quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve, showing a decisive look for a long time.He looked solemn, and looked at Rem as if looking at some long-lost treasure, which was indeed the case, so many times that Rem died within his reach, he was ashamed of her feelings.

Of course, Rem wasn't the only one he was ashamed of.

Not long after leaving the battlefield, white light burst into the sky from the white mist, just like the ability that Reinhardt had used at the beginning. Just by looking at it, one could feel the powerful destructive power, and it was even more terrifying.

When the witch holding his heart appeared, it would be accompanied by faint death and fear, but Evelyn's moves had no emotion at all. To be precise, after the sword was swung away, all living things and dead things in that space would be annihilated.

Laiyue Subaru and Rem rushed over quickly, but the girl with red hair burning like flames was lying on the ground quietly, without breathing or heartbeat, her sky-blue eyes were no longer open, and the red-haired girl seemed lifeless and bleak. Light.

But it was strange that Lai Yue Subaru felt that she was still alive, or more precisely, not dead.

……

Receiving Rem's sincere confession, Lai Yue Subaru finally realized his intentions. Relying on the information obtained from previous death explorations, Lai Yue Subaru successfully attracted Crusch and Wilhelm with the "Moby Dick" card. Tom's attention.

Wilhelm's reaction was the biggest. Almost at the moment when the word "Moby Dick" was blurted out, a terrifying aura surged from his body. Although he was quickly noticed and restrained, that aura still made people tremble with fear. .

"...I'm so sorry, I'm too immature." Wilhelm, who has always been elegant and steady, let out a deep breath and touched the sword on his waist to express his apology, "I'm really sorry for interrupting the conversation. If you order Leave the table, I will follow suit."

"No, you stay, I want to hear your opinion." After seeking the opinions of everyone present, Crusch tried to persuade him to stay, "The 'white whale' you mentioned can be thought of as one of the three great monsters. [Monster of Mist]."

"Yes, I know the time and place where it will appear next, and I hope to exchange this information for the possibility of an alliance." Although he showed a confident look, he actually had no idea in his heart, and Lai Yue Subaru nervously observed their actions reaction.

From Crusch's face, she couldn't see what she was thinking. Instead, Russell, who was his teammate, took the lead in raising objections: "How will His Highness Lai Yue prove that his information is reliable?"

"In fact, the reason why I can know when the white whale will appear is because of the magic item in my hand." The white metal machine is in his hand, shining with a metal brilliance far beyond the level of smelting in another world, "This is my The basis for the statement."

Although he was very curious about the magic props he had never seen before, Russell still expressed doubts about Subaru Laiyue's speech: "Nevertheless, you can't make an effective judgment based on your one-sided words."

"Then, shall I prove it?"

The door suddenly opened, and the girl's soft body was projected in the sunlight drifting in the dust. Her long red hair was blown by the wind, showing her majestic aura even more.

The sky-blue pupils are as clear as stream water, and the thick heels of her boots hit the clean floor tiles, making a crisp sound, and every step increases her pressure: "I'm sorry, because there are other things that need to be dealt with, So come here now."

"Back to the topic just now," Evelyn stood three steps ahead of the participants, "I swear in the name of Evelyn Van Astrea, I can prove that what Mr. Lai Yue said is true."

No one blamed her for intruding. To be more precise, the participants lingered on Evelyn for a moment before turning their final attention to Wilhelm.Speaking of other people's eyes, Evelyn saw the grey-haired and hale and hearty Wilhelm.

Very different from the person I remember.

"Sword Demon" Wilhelm, who left the Astrea's house after his wife's death and never appeared in the eyes of the world, actually stayed by Crusch's side.

It's no wonder that when Evelyn encounters troubles after coming to the capital, Crusch will always help her.It's no wonder that when they first met, Felix tried to bring the topic to cooking skills, and then pestered himself to make rose cookies.

And Wilhelm, who was three steps away, also had complicated eyes. He didn't have any feelings for many members of the Astrea family, including his son and grandson. Strictly speaking, he only had anger and hostility.

But Evelyn was different. Just because of that face that was exactly the same as Theresia's, it was impossible for Wilhelm to be hostile to her. On the contrary, he would even get close to her unconsciously.

Although he didn't understand what happened, but looking at the strange expressions of the two, Subaru Lai Yue felt that something must be serious.Reminiscent of Evelyn's reaction when she saw the white whale in the last week, and then think of Wilhelm's sudden aura when he heard the word white whale...

Laiyue Subaru was still thinking about it, and the red-haired sword girl who had become the focus of everyone's attention suddenly looked serious: "Long time no see. How are you doing recently, [Sword Demon] Your Excellency Wilhelm."

At this point in the meeting, there is no need to continue. With Evelyn's proof, coupled with the natural ability to distinguish the wind, Crusch quickly decided to give the opportunity to ally with Emilia's forces.

The hidden third force has also officially surfaced. Russell is actually Anastasia's emissary, and the two alliances have become three. Soaring directly to a level, it vaguely means that there are three pillars.

Evelyn really didn't expect that just when she was trying to face the tragic past, she met one of the parties involved, and she was definitely the most embarrassing and difficult one.

No matter what role her elder brother played in that incident, it doesn't matter whether it is glorious or dishonorable. It was an accident that no one wanted to see. Her generous and kind brother Reinhardt should not bear such accusations.

and……

Strictly speaking, what kind of regret is that? If I had been a little stronger back then, or persisted a little longer with perseverance, everything would not have slipped into the abyss.

Reinhardt doesn't have to bear the guilt to move forward, and Wilhelm doesn't have to bear the pain of losing his wife. Grandma will survive well and become an ordinary woman who loves flowers after Reinhardt takes over the sword in her hand.

Who can say that it is all their own responsibility, and who can say that there is no responsibility at all. The dead have passed away, and the living move forward with hatred and guilt. No one can escape the disaster.

The only salvation now is to kill the white whale with my own hands to comfort my grandmother's spirit in heaven. Even if it's just bitter self-deception, it's better than just escaping like this.

Whether it's Reinhardt or Wilhelm, whether it's a natural reconciliation in the future or a lifetime of hostility, at least let everyone live without self-blame.

At the very least, let them understand that the other party has worked hard for Grandma Teresia.
