S18 New Hero
It was ih the teacher that I obtained the Hero title
Immediately after that, I'm called by Father and I left the academy, then return to the royal castle
The royal castle that I returned after a long tie in deep eain
The place was not the throne rooh it's wide, it's a rooathered there
「Shurein I'm sorry to call you purposely」
With my entrance, Father uttered a heavy voice
Even I who didn't met Father a lot of times understood that Father's voice was more heavy than usual
It's a much more heavy voice than the time I heard it at the appraisal ceremony
「First, let me confirm whether you have really obtained the Hero title or not」
「Yes」
The appraisal stone used in the appraisal cererasped in Father's hand
When I answered, an unpleasant feeling like being lick all over attackedthat I felt when I met Sensei for the first ti appraised
「You really have it」
Father's heavy voice
Immediately after that, Father covers his face with his hand and begins to sob
「Julius」
Older brother's name leaks out fro that
Breaking the self-control that I shouldn't do it here, ripped
The person is the third prince and the older brother above ently
I didn't have much opportunity to meet with Leston-niisaenial brother next to Julius-niisa to Leston-niisa sounded in the roorieve for Julius However, it's necessary to think about the future Let's begin the discussion」
The one who break the gloomy silence was the first prince who's our oldest brother, Cyris-niisaood with this person
I have never seen hih and he's always devoted to ith a sour look
If I omit my older sister who'sthe siblings that I have the intuition that I can't get along with him well
「Cyris-aniki, Father and Shun are hurt Isn't it fine to wait for a little more?」
「No, Leston It's as Cyris says」
「But, Father」
「Stop it, Leston Father has say so」
「Cyris-aniki」
「It's fine There are feelings ofas a family However, we are the royalty before a ation as the royalty Mourning comes after that」
Father wipes the tears with the sleeve
Although Father's eyes swelled up red, a powerful light dwelled in there
Is this the king's appearance?
That's a
I can't do that
「Shurein has inherited the Hero title, so thatthat nobody dared to say it clearly while biting his lips
In that word, Julius-niisah this was hidden from Shurein and the people, the information that the Demon army finally have started the invasion was sent Perhaps, Julius have died in the fight」
The Deh I have heard talks of the Demon army's movement frequently, finally
Even that Julius-niisaainst the Demon army
「The report on how the result of the battle is not here yet I have sent an excellent ic to confir sounded in the rooh I don't remember the name of the person who entered, he's one of the person who served as the general in this country
He advances slowly towards the center of the rooet down on his knees
「I would like to report It's about the war of the Huht tih the detailed information is uncertain because the site is still confused, it seems that we have barely repelled the Dee」
「I see Continue」
「In case of the information that's understood now, so those, the Kusorion Fort was destroyed」
「What!? That large fortress!?」
「Y-Yes This is still not a certain information The site is confused, so this is a baseless rue ic and so forth Ruuesses, it's a situation where we don't knohich is the real information」
「Umu However, the information of the Demon army withdrew is true, is it?」
「Yes That's certain」
「I understand Thank you for the report Please continue to collect inforeneral leaves the room
Father close his eyes and wrinkle up his eyebrows, thinks about so
We brothers waited for Father's next words
「It seems that Julius's death has yet to be confirmed」
「Yes The site seems to be confused What shall we do?」
「Conceal Julius's death and the fact that Shurein became the new Hero for a while」
There was no one in this place who's dissatisfied with Father's decision
I don't understand the politics well, so I shouldn't interfere
「It's still uncertain whether the Demon army completely withdrew or not If the Hero's death is announce here, it will give uneasiness to the people Although Julius's death will be known eventually once the talk from the site rises, don't reveal it to the others until then」
「Father, ould Shurein do in the future?」
「Shurein, I'm sorry but you have to leave the academy today At the same time, make preparations so that we can announce the new Hero any tiht be confused because it happened suddenly, you are the Hero from now on Succeed Julius's will, and you must bear the full brunt of the war as the hope of the Huht not be resolved for this yet So before Julius's death is known, I want you to decide the resolution」
Hope of the Humans?
E-Even if you ask me to decide such resolution suddenly
「Your heart is probably not sorted yet You may retire for today Rest at ease」
Father's kind voice
