You are Siegfried Shieffer missing head of the Shieffer house, direct cousins of the royal Rosario dynasty of the great northern kingdom of Gwynedd, ruling over the biggest patch of territories and regions known as ‘’Ars lands’’ mostly free of monsters now thank to a purge and a certain episode with the great Butcher, but that is another story, for your past is indeed quite eventful.

For now you have allied yourself with the monster island of Zipangu and it has been quite the ordeal so far: your first day had you witness firsthand the sinful ritual of purification that is nothing but a glorified method of containing the generated corruption of the population inside a water dragon enshrined beneath the incredibly fortified castle.

Your second duty consisted of going as ambassador to the realm of the cat folk, the ultimate objective being crafting an alliance with the vassal-turned independent (long story, but politics are always a huge, needlessly complicated affair) and the end result was more than favorable: you ended up coming back and bonding with the small, crippled queen of the realm without losing anyone, although two close calls were much too frenetic for comfort.

Coming back offered no reprieve, for one of your companion ended up crippled to accomplish her duty but something even worse was forced upon you: to skip the details, you ended up killing your own childhood friend to create an entirely free willed golem completely independent of control Runes and apparently able to share your gift of consumption, but proof of this has yet to be shown.

7 days have passed, the end of the month may be far from now, but your prophesized death is still crawling ever closer. Now, you face the king of the land, your angel bodyguard having swapped with someone else and the queen-mother being too exhausted to give you any kind of information in this unbelievable aftermath, the only thing you remember is eating your bodyguard corruption.

You were prepared to explain the damages caused by your scuffle with Mylen even if the task was daunting, after all more than 10 beds with equipped sheets and pillows laid ravaged around the hole left by Hadraniel. It’s still hard to believe she shrugged off something like that: the force was comparable to a siege weapon, perhaps even more and the resulting clash with your bodyguard deflector had her literally cause a visible indentation in the solid stone wall, yet she resumed battle soon after.

Is that the resilience of the Heroes?

Your thoughts drifted but for once you decide not to blame yourself for that, the moment you locked eyes with your brother you felt a very real shiver of fear traveling down your spine while you held the emotional Tsukiyomi who, now after 10 good minutes, passed out from exhaustion.

Worrisome of course, your lover literally losing consciousness in your arms after crying isn’t common after you finish eating corruption, especially given the prideful and austere demeanor of the Queen-Mother, her crying had been out of joy, or at least she felt overwhelmingly relieved thank to her constant ‘’I’m glad’’ and subsequent digging in your skin as she hugged you with all the force her overworked, exhausted self could manage.

‘’I can’t believe it…’’

The elder of the room, a man named Leo if you remember your brother word, is looking at the sleeping Mylen, from your position you only get a look at her profile but the leather, red-black wings resting on her back only reinforce her charm, but you feel glad and let out a sigh while hugging Tsukiyomi a bit closer to you, whatever object that intruded her body had been removed thank to the ministration of the 3 persons around her.

‘’Call it having an unique talent’’

The soft, enchanting voice of the angel offered a simple, mischievous rebuttal to the disbelieving chaplain, while the King, or your brother, busied himself washing blood off his hand with a cloth.

Hadraniel was nowhere in sight, the sword that housed her laid at your side without any sign of presence, the color of the blade was the same dull gray absent of energy when she manifested upon the world, her presence had been… replaced by someone else, another angel, one that you’ve met only once but she left you with a strong impression nonetheless.

She called herself the ‘’Embodiment of Faith’’ with Radiance as surname and a more humble real name, Lysta. A strange individual that somehow soothed worries and hearts by words alones, her very presence having some kind of hypnotic effect without any magic, for the only one you felt what the channeling of Holy energy that she used to close Mylen wounds and that was the reason why the chaplain voiced his disbelief: Holy was toxic to monsters, yet it helped the succubus like any humans.

You don’t like to admit that fact, but Mylen is a monster, or at least corrupted enough to have a constant imprint turning the light magic to poison, yet this four winged angel did the impossible without breaking a sweat.

The tip of her fingers traveled along Mylen forehead, the two set of rosy wings flapped while her face illuminated in a soft smile.

‘’She’ll be fine’’

That was to calms your worries; your mission is a success: Mylen is fine and may very well be able to join you back on Zipangu

Your eyes cross with the fierce gaze of your brother and, once more, you feel this fear creeping up your spine, so you concentrate on Tsukiyomi and lift the smaller Youko, the huge set of fluffy tails doesn’t make your progression to the bed easy, but the silence in the room feel slightly oppressive, at least that’s your impression.

Time and again you were warned by your uncle to never cross path with your brother, never allowed to speak or even stand in the same room as him, years of warnings going as far as your youth ingrained right into your psyche completely blown away by tonight actions, you’ve yet to exchange words with him but at least he acknowledged your existence.

And that was scary.

You almost jump when a hand land on your shoulder, you realize you spent the last minutes staring at Tsukiyomi sleeping form.

‘’I can chase the king and his retinue’’

When you look back, the soft angel give you a wink, but she nod to the door and you see it closed, barred by a man in red clothes, sword at his side and short blond hair, not trying to look inconspicuous in the least.

"I'm...not too certain on what has occurred. Perhaps you could fill me in?"

You try to keep your voice down but the silence of the room isn’t helping you, you resolve yourself to face the new angel who, after a few moment of staring at you, gives you a soft and genuine smile forcing a flutter in your heart, the same feeling you had when you encountered her in Hadraniel… mind?

Quite some strange encounter wasn’t it?

‘’Details would take some time I’m afraid but… your confrontation with your bodyguard wasn’t the only struggle’’

Her words instill you with dread, even if you give no hint it seem Radiance was able to tell for she lightly grasped your shoulder, her smile feels genuine enough to let some of your worries vanish.

‘’As for Hadraniel and I, to put it simple, we… exchanged place due to necessity’’

The angel stop there, stepping away from you, the conclusion that something dramatic happened after your consumption is easy to make, after all that’s where your memory end, next thing you know the chaplain and 5 armed men burst in.

Your gaze linger to Mylen resting form, then do your brother who is looking at you while the elder man does the same but trying not to make himself get caught with his fleeting gaze.

‘’Leo, We’ll be good enough from now on’’

His strong, deep voice and commandment provoke a stir in the chaplain who turn to his king, look at him for a long moment before bowing and making his way out of the room in silence, the man at the door opening it and exiting with him.

This red uniform… You’ve seen it before…

‘’For the Northern Regalia to be used along with a camouflaged monster and angel treating upon the soil of the Sheiffer clan...’’

His tone seem amused instead of wrathful, your brother step away from Mylen bed, his long blond hair and large stature giving him a very noticeable presence, his pause was of course deliberate but you are grateful for the angel support, she placed both of her hands on your shoulders now and facing him with you.

‘’Quite the extravagant situation, I would be loath to separate you from your comrades but as King I truly have to ask for one of you to… hmm, fill me in’’

His gaze close on you once more, fierce and strong.

"Shall we convene to more comfortable quarters then? Or would you prefer an explanation in here?"

You had to concentrate on the link with Hadraniel to gain back some bravado, the angel seem truly well, at least well enough to resume sending you that constant wave of empathy and inner calm so characteristic to the stoic hero.

‘’Tired and wounded need peace and quiet, I have just the place for proper dialogues’’

He makes a rather... grand movement with his arm toward the door, and his walking is theatrical, he seems to be… enjoying himself.

‘’I’ll be staying here, I loathe the idea of one of them waking up alone in this place, my presence would also rouse suspicious’’
Radiance pause there and lightly push you forward, her every moment is calm and soothing she almost seem like a mother…

Your heart squeeze at this idea.

‘’Dear angel I can make certain to kill gossips and rumors, your presence would honor me more than you’d believe’’

Says the King, bowing to the angel who simply laugh lightly and shoo him away with a movement a hand gesture.

The meeting room is right below the top of the mansion where the disused infirmary is located, with your brother taking point and the man in red closing the march you followed them in silence while they exchange brief words, mostly concerning Leo and the five other men, making absolutely certain they were to keep their mouths shut but without lethal intent: you’ve gotten good at picking up on those slight details.

The room isn’t fit for a King at all, a bit on the small side with a single large bed, three chairs and one desk, your uncle workstation was much more grandly decorated but here, it almost look like a soldier quarters but your brother make himself comfortable by sitting on one of his chair, gesturing to the one beside him and not a moment later you spot a maid who, after seeing you, almost drop the hot tea in her hands.

‘’No need to be alarmed, but keep it a secret would you?’’

He’s incredibly relaxed, but you know firsthand of how discreet those women are and she serve two glasses in silence and exit, with the King gulping down his in one go.

‘’I am not one to forego sleep, but this meeting was long coming’’

He stops, looking at you with a side glance and one long relaxed grin.

‘’How have you been, little brother?’’

Such a smile and big question.

"I've been better. Your Majesty."

Everything that happened tonight, no in the past weeks, has been one never ending chain of events that is leaving you increasingly exhausted. Tsukiyomi condemnation may very well happen sooner than your prophesized date.

At least you’ve yet to crumble under the pressure, very much thank to the monsters of Zipangu.

"Where should I start? The events of tonight?’’

You find the relaxed demeanor of your brother to be immensely helpful in reducing your nervousness, he never speak or gesture for you to stop until you finish your question and after finishing his second serving, finally speak.

‘’No death in the mansion after tonight, while piecing together the truth will take time we can spare ourselves the details: tonight truth ended with none of your companions dead’’

His words provoke a smile, the truth is clear: even if you lost control nobody is dead, that’s… you couldn’t ask for any better right?

‘’Or perhaps further back during my time of my supposed death?"

You couldn’t answer that, Mylen hold some of them but the truth is still clouded, waking up in a field of corpse with the skeleton of your mother straddling you… an intense wave of anger well deep inside you, only calmed by Hadraniel.

Thank you, hero…

‘’You aren’t the kind to abandon your duty, brother’’

The last word is said in strength, neither of you went as far as gazing with the other for as far as you’ve lived, but it seem Gil mirror your own belief: trust your brother.

‘’But I would like to know, who is that multi tailed woman and angel? I have no doubt that the details of how you came to them must be storied, but who are they?’’

>>20841973
"Simply...friends who agreed to accompany me, in the hopes that I might yet recover a further fragment of my shattered memories."

"They are my companions. They came with me to help me recover parts of my past.’’

Although Radiance wasn’t exactly planned for, you can’t say you’re against the idea of another angel near you; her rosy-white wings must be incredibly soft…

Oh right.

Gil gave you a confused look while finishing yet another drink, not that you can blame him after all, drifting in your world with that kind of statement…

‘’The rumors of my death were not entirely exaggerated; I did lose a considerable amount of my memories, though I have been slowly getting them back."

You finish by drinking your own tea now lukewarm while your brother relax in his seat, his long blond mane cascading down his back while his eyes turn absent, deep in thoughts.

‘’I see’’

That’s all he say for now, after a few tens of seconds of silence, he lean forward.

‘’Your purpose will take you away from your house’’

It wasn’t a question; he was voicing a reality, setting it in stone instead.

‘’You came from Zipangu didn’t you?’’

He didn’t seem to accuse you, but the King was looking straight at you, his large physique all but amplifying his presence.

"You are not mistaken, your majesty."

‘’Drop the majesty, brother’’

His answer was fast, but the fact you confirmed his question provoke a long sigh to escape his lips while you wait for him to make himself comfortable, he seem deep enough in thought to take another drink, the silence cold and uninviting, the King leaking some anger, but not directed at you.

‘’No doubt you know about the crusade’’

Stating the obvious again, but you nod to confirm the question.

‘’Then… what’s you take on it, which side are you on, little brother?’’

He doesn’t sound authoritative like a King should be, although interdict and emotionless your brother speak with restrained empathy, he’s probably struggling between family and duty.

>>20842602
"I'm on Zipangu's side. They've done too much to help me for me to stand aside. I probably wouldn't even be alive or been able to save Mylen if not for them. I've grown close to some of them."

"The Church does not like them simply because they exist. They have helped me reclaim my lost memories and more. I must confess, I am with them."

>>20842602

"A fool's errand. If they do indeed have a new weapon then it would be better to test it on the front lines of the demon realm instead of on a non-hostile territory like Zipangu. To be blunt, this "crusade" is little better than murder, a mass genocide with a quite a side of cowardice."
>>
>>20842602
"Even if I didn't have personal issues with the Church and the aid the monsters that they have provided for myself. I would have simply not aid either side of the conflict.

However, I do have that invested interest that Zipangu remain standing.

So, truthfully, theirs."

"The Church does not like them simply because they exist. They have helped me reclaim my lost memories and more. I must confess, I am with them."

The truth is always so incredibly easy to profess with strength and charisma, you speak to your brother, you speak to your king, with resoluteness exceeding his own and for several tens of seconds, the two of you lock eyes in silence with naught but the sounds of breathing.

Then Gil slowly makes himself another cup of tea and drinks it.

‘’Spoken with valor exceeding my own, to be honest the church has … requested…’’

He stops there to stare at you, almost smirking

‘’The presence of the braves and pious men of the North in exterminating the Great Enemy, but the civil war took precedence and the demand was buried, but now that peace has returned…’’

He stops there with a pensive look before grunting and rubbing his forehead.

‘’But now my family is involved in the affair of the fabled land of free monsters, this is quite the predicament, brother’’

Slowly, Gil lean forward, putting both of his elbows on the support of the chair and supporting his chin with his hands, his intense blue gaze intensifying with the small, soft light of very early morning.

‘’Are you prepared to fight this war to the bitter end, Siegfried?’’
>>
>>20842982
"Peace has returned, but can the North afford to jump into another war? The people need time to mourn and move on. Regardless, yes I am prepared to go through with this no matter what. Even if I must face you and this house. I can't afford not to."
>>
>>20842982
"I... would have to say yes...but, I fear I may not be around for too much longer if a certain prophecy holds any shred of truth."
>>
>>20842982
"I would not have agreed to lend them my help if I wasn't prepared to see this through to victory or the bitter end."
>>
>>20842982
"Yes."

I mean really not much else to say. Anything else is a excuse as to why or why not. The answer in itself is simple.
>>
>>20842982
Some king he is if he can't wiggle out of partaking in the crusade.
>>
>>20843022
Indeed true, He just got done fighting a civil war so his forces are already depleted. To risk more, to weaken himself any further would be a poor move geopolitically. Another country may just come in and conquer his sorry ass if his forces fair poorly upon Zipangu, and we are quite ready to make that happen if he won't see reason.
>>
>>20843108
Eh. I have no intention of declaring war and making his life hard on him. I was just aiming more along the lines of saying A) Can't he use that excuse to get out of the crusade since he might cause another civil war if he does go to war so soon and B) Siggy has to do this.
>>
>>20843146
Really he has reasons as to why he shouldn't be taking part in this crusade. One being a damn good one. Others, eh questionable.

The North just needs to sit this one out.
>>
>>20843198
>>20843146

Which means I am agreeing with you.
>>
>>20843146
Actually, there doesn't even need to be an other civil war. Fighting two wars in close succession, one of which has been on home soil is a great way to run your economy into the ground. Come winter the famines will do a better job than most armies.
>>
>>20843265
Another good consideration, but if the church is dead set on this they may force his hand. His nation is more friendly with the sexy monsters than they would like. Perhaps they're going for "regime change". Course, other players with other reasons could also desire this.

"Peace has returned, but can the North afford to jump into another war?’’

He truly do seem ready for this and given the loss your house suffered during this bitter inner conflict, it’s baffling to think your homeland ready for a crusade but you are no King, merely the past head of the Shieffer family.

‘’Yes’’

He stop, letting his word sink in.

‘’The people rallied under me with most of the nobles choosing Ferdinand banner, your house, dear brother, took on the brunt of the fighting during the early stage. The religious fervor given by taking part in a crusade, along with the reward and spoils, would without doubt energize this land’’

Another pause, he doesn’t move an inch, a seed of dread planting in your guts.

‘’The Dragoons order will join in the case of an invasion along with the College of mages, the army is much more vigorous then you would believe, Siegfried, and this year harvest wielded enough for a surplus’’

He’s serious, there won’t be another case of rebellion if he decide to warmonger and join the crusade.

Hell he doesn’t even need to commit his whole force to save face.

‘’I am prepared to go through with this no matter what. Even if I must face you and this house. I can't afford not to."

You reaffirm your stance, this land is your place of birth, and this house is your responsibility. You accepted it wholeheartedly and fought tooth and nail in the name of your King, your brother, not even a meter past you.

This means completely disregarding the person you were, sacrificing your past identity for a new one and all but cementing the decision of your home, the castle of Ame-no-Uzume in Zipangu.

Are you truly prepared for such a reality?

‘’I feel that we are at a threshold, Siegfried’’

For some reason your brother change the subject, he gesture to the tea and pour two cup, emptying the container.

‘’Zipangu always defended its lands and never attacked despite its proximity to Central, tales of hospitalities became swiftly stifled by the church, in the end, the land of Free Monster is nothing but a fairytale yet now, it gained enough attention for a Crusade, a war of enough amplitude to be marked in the annals of history’’

He takes a small drink, making himself more comfortable as he look at you.

‘’The Church power never waned after the Heroes defeated the Demon Lord, its stuck in the belief of close and immediate genocide for the human race, but the shift in power and the monsters we now see aren’t exactly uncivilized and barbaric, although I will never abide by the philosophy of the Demon Lord for wanton hedonism is the end of civilization.’’

Finally he down his drink in one goes, gently put the cup on the table, and look at you.

‘’I want Order to lose this war’’

Speaken in a low growl akin to a lion, a man with a deep grudge.

I could be reading these posts wrong but: did Siegfried's brother the King just say he wants the side he's backing to LOSE?

It's pretty obvious his hands are tied in backing this Crusade so I don't blame him for feeling that way. At least the family isn't completely against Siggy.

>>20843699

My gut says: Not right now. The Church may have a plant somewhere that's keeping an eye and ear on Siggy's family. The Crusaders can't plan for a trump card they don't know about.

And yes, we are more than ready to sacrifice our past identity. Who we are at base has not changed, but our circumstances have. How the hell can anyone expect another person, a good person, to choose house and country over the ones they love. Hell, he's pretty much asking us to kill our companions with our own hands (which is even worse). So yeah, fuck the past.

My sentiments exactly. Siggy wants to regain the memories of who he was, but not BE the person he was. The Butcher is dead; Siegfried seeks to become a new man, a better man than he used to be.

>>20843752

About the weapon, I never said anything about mentioning our cute little golem of FUCK YOU or anything related to it. Siggy not dumb, he knows big bro might be watching. He sure was with that episode with Sylphis, that had to be enough to get him at least a bit paranoid.

"How much of the motives for the Church do you know about, for this crusade.’’

You start, locking eyes with him once more.

‘’That is beyond what is face value."

The question provoke a quiet grunt from your brother who quickly close his eyes, taking his time to gather his thoughts and brushing some hair out of his face.

‘’What I could uncover concerning this…’’

He grunt and rub his forehead, obviously displeased at his lack of answer.

‘’Cementing an alliance and testing out some weapons from the Land Beyond’’

Could he be talking about the WMD? Given your silence, your brother continues.

‘’I couldn’t uncover anything else, I had my whole clan of Red cloaks working on it but the result was lackluster’’

It seems he busied himself with international affair even during the civil war.

‘’The sun will be up soon…’’

He murmur softly, looking at the window and the slowly coloring horizon chasing away the obscurity of the night, the cold air of your homeland would, without a doubt, be refreshing.

‘’Siegfried…’’

His prompting make you face him, your brother is smiling.

‘’Did you know that I intentionally created a smuggling operations between my land and Zipangu?’’

That…

‘’Lord Ferdinand was right in claiming my lover was a monster, her name was Ren from the Rahal clan of beast folks in Zipangu’’

The regent older sister…?

‘’I want to ally with Zipangu, I know land of Free Monster doesn’t stand a chance otherwise’’

Why is he telling you all of this, suddenly? He knows more than he let on, but such a golden opportunity…

>>20844168

Maybe there's a way to do that: support the Crusade overtly but help Zipangu covertly? It would put him in a tougher spot than he is now, but at least his conscience would be clearer.

Zipangu does need all the help they can get. Can Siggy's brother still get in touch with his old smuggling contacts?

Tanuya might be a part of this as well, we could ask her for verification when we get back. We still can't reveal our countermeasure, and the lines of intrigue are thick.

"But doing so openly at this stage is nothing short of suicide. The church would simply move to crush your realm before moving on with the invasion. No, openly declaring your allegiance would not serve any purpose but to doom yourself.

No. That would not do now. The war council requires a dissenting voice, one who will raise objections and make their leaders face the hard questions and force the church to end the crusade."

Pass him the ring.

"In my travels I have had the opportunity to aid the house of Crosswalk. The lady is my debt and this ring was gifted to me. With this returned to them, they would most certainly aid you in providing internal dissent to this attack. Should you met a church agent by the name of Leila, mention my name and she should be receptive to your suggestions and be able to provide some assistance.

All given together, it might be possible to force the church to withdraw the crusade early if they encounter fierce initial resistance."

This guys are right sadly. Church already wants an excuse to pull that shit. Better to have him as a subtle backstabber. Funnel force info to us through the smuggling ring and Tanuya's info network.

True. However, I still have a feeling we'll be facing far worse than we can think of and having a Church in some strength than a weaken state would be for more worthwhile. Be nothing worst to have 3 armies near depleted and have a 4th show up to wipe all of them out.

Having a critical intel leak is a very, very big disadvantage to overcome. Even if he's eventually found out, the info he'd have gotten to us would be very damaging to their efforts. Even if we only get the planned LZ, we could make that into a fucking Normandy for them. That fight wasn't pretty, for both sides. Allies won due to numbers pretty much.

Right. Good intell and knowing what your enemy is about to do before he does it is invaluable.

"But doing so openly at this stage is nothing short of suicide. The church would simply move to crush our homeland before moving on with the invasion.’’

The arrayed might of a crusade is incredibly mighty indeed, the incursion into the Demon Lord realm may have been unsuccessful but they did an amazing amount of damage all the same, the North is still recovering from its civil war even if your brother possess enough resource for war, needlessly putting his lands in danger like that…

For some reason, he’s smiling openly but you continue.

‘’The war council requires a dissenting voice, one who will raise objections and make their leaders face the hard questions and force the church to end the crusade."

Gil lean forward, his eyes cast down and he grimace slightly, he interrupt your words by holding his hand forward.

‘’I thought of that Siegfried, it warms my heart to know that, even if our loyalties aren’t the same you care for your homeland. I do not know any of the leaders personally for I couldn’t be there during the church war preparations, but my voice of dissent, of reason, will be drowned by fanaticism: the Order has gained an important ally and this crusade, I fear, may very well have been made for the sole reason of impressing them’’

This WMD… he’s not speaking about it at all but it seems this isn’t the only thing the church has up its sleeves.

Your fingers slither along the Order of Xenon, your brother could very well use it, mentioning Leila as well… But what he has brought to the table is leaving you with uncertainties.

‘’Openly declaring my intention would be foolish of course, but…’’

He suddenly leans forward with the smile of a predator.

Oh there's a list mile long as to why Normandy was won. But that's beside the point here.

All I'm saying it be nice to find a way to force the Churches hand here and recall the crusading force even before it gets fully deployed.

Though I feel we've already pasted that point. Still...eh.

And if Church pushes forward with there plans. So be it. Make it a blood bath.

'’If you were to marry with the leader of the strongest patch of lands, this would all but cement the alliance for the aftermath, my idea was to smuggle troops along the ring, the church attention is all on its boats now and I could easily sneak out with our navy and land in the Rahall realm, the people would simply need to be told that I am securing my alliance and the soldiers are loyal to me, I made certain of that during the civil war.’’

Finishing his speech, your brother lean back on his chair, rubbing his chin.

‘’I am, after all, obligated by law to preserve to life of the royal family, this extend to the realm they’ve married to’’

He seems eager for battle, but there’s another reason for this, that’s the impression you have and so far, this feeling in your guts always proved true.

Nope. It may be that I've been playing too much SR recently, but my paranoia alarms are screaming. It just seems too easy, his goals conveniently align with ours.

"Marriage? Certainly an...intriguing proposition."

You are a noble, an arranged marriage isn’t exactly unexpected but you didn’t account or plan for it given your warlike life, however marrying Ame-no-Uzume…

For an instant the Inari in a… compromising position flash in your mind, but you quickly rein in your traveling mind and stare back at your brother who has relaxed once more into his sight, the wolfish grin having morphed into something more satisfied.

‘’But what would you gain from this, brother? An alliance with Zipangu may be beneficial but… that’ll oust you from any kind of trade of friends with your neighbors, perhaps even cause a second rebellion’’

The long haired king nod to your words, staying silent and gazing out the window for a few precious seconds.

‘’My past lov…’’

He stops, look at you and take in another deep breath.

‘’My past wife was a monster, I had a daughter but both were taken by the start of the civil war. Our father died burning for loving a monster…’’

He did? All that was recorded was that the previous king, Yuelian II died for heresy but actually loving a monster?

No wonder your homeland always had a very tense relationship with the church.

‘’This war, this crusade has the chance of changing the world, to create a miracle’’

He speak in a soft, determined voice, slowly lifting his arm, hand closed in a fist.

‘’Monsters and humans fighting side by side, such tales would travel the world over, Zipangu isn’t a wicked land and it may very well provide what I want: changing the heart of mankind, a miracle worthy of the 13 heroes’’

Speaking with the charisma of a King, yet your brother is truly convinced of his word, slight trembling in his arm, he smile despite the sadness in his deep oceanic eyes, a man driven by incredible dreams and, maybe, might not be as malicious as you first thoughts.

‘’That is my aim, Siegfried. I want to create a miracle’’

Truly, Gil Rosario, your brother, is a greedy man.

Indeed. He died for heresy sure, but who ratted him out? Can't deny he benefited from that. Can we see proof of this affair he claims to have had? To have married a monster should have gotten *him* burned for heresy as well, and it's not like you can just hide the queen away in some room all the time. And a "poser" queen would quickly get sick of just being a mouthbox for some foul monster...

I'm sorry, paranoia drive always works at max level when I deal with politics. Studied it in college, trust me, if you aren't paranoid to all hell you'll never come out ahead in the politicking game. Remember Stalin's quote: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

Officialy, big bro ahs been all alone for more than ten years
>>
>>20845977
Aye, but wouldn't that discovery had him burned? Has he always been alone, or was there once a queen? Like I said, the poser human queen wouldn't stand long for those affairs and would have outed him for heresy (I assume boning the monsters is heretical). Or he could have cut a deal to save his own arse, Godfather style. The church may have said "Alright, we'll spare you despite your heresy, but one day we shall ask of you a favor, and you WILL comply" Tricking us into giving them a beach head would certainly pay off that "debt" as it were...

You underestimate the amounts of shit people will put up with out of loyalty / for money.
>>
>>20846118

The reason for the civil war, at least a big part of it, was a certain noble clamoring that the King had a affair with a monster.

Your brother ended up rallying the people instead of the nobles but alot of shit happened during that civil war.

Can you trust him? I can't answer that, he's your brother, that's pretty much all I can say
>>
>>20846146
The Church could/would put up more money than any king could.
>>
>>20846118
And it's not like you can hide that from your inner circle, all it takes is one loyalist to screw you but good. Either he had a supernatural sense of character, or he employed Stalinist methods to keep their silence. Either way, there's more to this. That pause in his speech is also worrying, like he's trying to find the best words to convince us of his "genuine and pure" goal is being told to us honestly. Again, no such thing as too paranoid in politics.

Half brother, who we never talked to before this day. Oh yeah and also the ruler of a country.

>>20846185

Aye, now that itself does lend some credence to his story. Still, this would also imply that he could have let them get smoked because trying to protect them would out him as a heretic. If that's true we still can't trust him as of yet. If you're willing to let your family burn to save thine own ass there isn't much you're not capable of doing. Damn we really need to get Tsu up in this, she's more experienced in these things than Siggy is.

‘’I see…’’

A smile sprout on your face and despite your best attempts stays while you and your brother stare at each other’s after his vibrant speech, but you soon break the stare to look out the window, the darkness of night having all but disappeared before the creeping dawn, transforming the horizon in a mix of deep and soft blue with buy soldiers finishing late night training, the Shieffer know no rest.

‘’I will need to speak with… one of my companion, at the very least’’

You brother face hardens at your words, he stare at you in silence for a moment before voicing, slowly.

‘’My words would grant me death at the hands of the church’’

He has indeed, put a lot of trust into you, but you excuse yourself as you stand, mulling over everything that was said tonight while still confused about what happened after that scuffle with Mylen…

Opening the door, you find yourself inside the silent, slightly lit corridor with, you see, the man in red clothe patrolling the far end that, upon seeing you, stop twirling his sword and give you a brief salute that you return halfheartedly.

The way back to the infirmary is easy to remember; at least you know this place.

--

You hear a quiet music stifled by the closed door, someone playing an instrument with enough skill to let out a soft melody enough to almost soothe your worries, the continuous stream of sounds make you slowly open the door and the vision leave you on the spot.

Sitting beside the still sleeping Tsukiyomi, the 4 winged angel is playing a harp made of pure light, eyes down to the Youko, barely concentrating on the song despite how talented she truly is, her hand dancing across the ropes of light, the whole instrument is made of holy energy, the angel has embraced Focus but is barely letting out enough power to be felt.

The way she’s looking at the Youko, it feels… motherly, Radiance melody continue despite your brief interruption, her head shifting to look at you and she smile, giving you, this time ,the impression of a wife welcoming her husband.

She’s a very strange one alright.

Near the sole window of the infirmary, your bodyguard not-so-succubus is sitting in the exact position you found herself in when you laid eyes on her, her leather wing twitching at random, provoking some grimaces from her otherwise bored expression.

But she acknowledges you enough to wave her second hand at you, with the melody in background, keeping everyone silent.

You’ve been talking for quite a while, a wave of fatigue settle in your body…

But you can’t rest, not now.
