Chapter 21 - The Sea A few minutes later, Feli came out of the restaurant. She did not seem to be in a hurry. She probably realized I needed some time alone; I couldn’t say for sure, but she knew that I was not the kind of person to use restraint with my words. She approached me, coins jangling in her palm — probably change — as she looked at me blankly. “Your Highness, you put down way too much for a meal’s fee.” She then took my hand and put the change in it. Since we were outside the…-

Chapter 16 - The Last Night It did not take much time for the war between the Beredhia-led alliance and the kingdom of Afillis to reach its conclusion. To put it simply, it’s because I killed too much. Among the soldiers that perished because of my “Spada”, there were nobles in charge of command and officers deeply involved with the troops’ organization. Moreover, the loss of a large number of troops and the “Hero”, who was the core of their strategy, marked their defeat: the alliance’s army…

Chapter 15 - “Hero” “Hero, huh...” The missive given to King Leric by the knight who acted as messenger. It was written by Mephia Zwai Afillis, without a doubt. However, it contained only one line. . <<Fay Hanse Diestburg is a “Hero”.>> . It was enough for Leric to understand everything. If he was a hero, a superhuman being, then everything clicked. Only “Heroes” could kill other “Heroes”. “That Fay...aren’t you sly, my boy...” Had Leric suddenly been told that…

Chapter 18 - That is Despair More than a week had passed after the final turmoil in the Afillis kingdom. My slothful self realized even more how precious peace was. In my usual lifestyle, whenever I slept I had very nostalgic dreams. So nostalgic that I felt a little lonely every time I woke up. I usually woke up in the late afternoon. Soon after I did, Ratifah would come up to tell me that dinner was ready, and I would eat together with my family. My seat was next to my elder brother, Grerial. I wasn’t…

Chapter 17 - Reaching for the Ideals “...Your Highness, how long do you plan to sleep… It’s already 4 in the afternoon...” Ratifah, my personal maid and attendant, sighed. About one week had passed since I returned to Diestburg. The letter of gratitude uncle Leric penned to my father the king, while containing no truth at all, mentioned that I apparently accomplished all sorts of exploits, so my slothful life was now father-approved. “Some important guy once said that living your life bound by…

Chapter 6 - Swordsman “Your Highness!! Please, think again!!” I am told that Logsaria Bornest would be properly put to rest, so I entrusted his body and then headed once more towards the castle, when Feli stopped me. “If you speak to King Leric, you won’t be able to go back on your word anymore!! If someone not properly trained as Your Highness stands on the battlefield, it will only mean that there will be another corpse to bury…!!” “....that’s right.” “Then why...” Feli’s…

Chapter 8 - A Place to Die The moon was still shining when I woke up in the single room Afillis’ King Leric had assigned to me, and looked out of the window. “I live in a different age, a different space, with a different body, but the sky remains the same.” I had never before awoken during the night, so I found the night sky a novel sight. I laughed wryly at myself: ever since I had come to the Afillis kingdom, I found myself feeling sentimental pretty often. As soon as I returned to the castle…

Chapter 9 - Assault “Your Highness!! Your Highness!! Please wake up!!” It was still early morning, but I could hear hurrying footsteps from all around. Feli’s shouting voice filtered through the door. Even so, I did not exit my room, but a sword formed by my “Spada” was already at my waist, just like in my previous life. Sheath, hilt, and blade, everything was the color of darkness. “No need to rush me so much.” The graver the emergency, the more important it was to act as normal. I…
