The sword princess' tale

Volume Two Chapter 7 - I Was Dumped!?

-???'s POV-

Human Territory was ruled by many kingdoms. They who desired to attain the throne. They who were driven with both noble and evil causes to conquer those below them. It was the nature of humans to antagonize each other, easily discriminating and greedy for things they didn't have.

Because of that, wars happened. Because of that, kingdoms fell to ruins. Because of that, true peace could never be realized. Only those who truly possessed divine heart would be able to create an utopia for humans who were constantly hostile with other races.

However-even the wisest of the wise fell prey to the humans blinded with greed and wicked desires.

It always went like that. And it will continue to stay like that.

Do not believe the humans. Do not trust them. Do not seek help from them. Otherwise-one would pay for it dearly.

"My, isn't that dashing of you, elder brother? You really look excellent with that uniform."

"-shut up. Who the hell asked for your opinion? Let's get this over with already."

"Hehe, such an impatient one. Don't you think you have become more emotional lately, or is it simply my imagination, elder brother?"

......hmph. Who gives a damn? I don't have any reason to know you even more either. While cursing under my breathes, I looked up from the base of a castle. Residing atop the hill. Towering over the whole kingdom infested with corrupt nobles and dirty scumbags who liked to trample on the commoners.

"Seven years... now I'm here only to crush some Tyrant's petty ambition to overthrow the throne. What kind of sick joke is this?"

The person a little behind me chuckled. Her long black-white hair which parted into two at halfway down swayed. Her gorgeous dress was out of place within the rows of army she led along with the other Royal Knights. Even so, an ornate knife was at belted at her waist as she displayed a mischievous snicker.

"Don't be silly, elder brother. You rushed back here the moment you heard Edward was killed by Eugene, the first prince right? All because he is hated by his Lagnaris and he also don't have the capacity to become a proper bearer of the title Vagnalos of <Pride>."

Ha! That is just his misfortune to draw the short-stick. In fact, other than Edward, none really qualified to become the King. Because among the Seven Princes and the Six Princesses created through the everlasting ambitions of that wretched Old Bastard, only one possessed zero synchronicity with the Cursed Weapons of Sins.

As I began clicking my tongue, knowing that one of us already fell to the Lagnaris' influence and assassinated the True Inheritor of the throne, I tapped on my sheathed sword's hilt. It went on until a Royal Knight with a stature a head shorter than me approached me.

"Felix, all the knights are ready to move. Captain Richard's squad is also ready to infiltrate from the underground waterway."

...how many times have I told her to shut up and never call me by my name? I really hate how people ignored the warnings of the wise and simply interrupting my privacy as if there's no tomorrow. In fact, this Volkahusen girl seemed to approach me with ulterior motives once she was told who I am.

Sigh... looks like I shouldn't have spared her back when her squad charged to capture that Sanpaku. It's also my mistake to make contact with her. And it led to a chain reaction which caused this Black-White sniffing and pulling me into her schemes.

As expected, no one could escape from the dark ambitions of humans. I knew that it's the correct decision to not tell anything to Charlotte. And I also gave her a letter and a gift to convince her so I hoped she wouldn't do anything stupid.
