Dull bravery is like a blind spear that stabs its allies.

Wise valor is the guiding light for your allies.

purple! The meaningless struggle of that black demon race.

Even a rain of arrows couldn't stop him from running.

The blades of the branches cannot reach his armor.

Eventually, the young warrior raised his shining sword... ... .

"The tree monster shot him with an arrow? Why does the arrow try to stop the warrior?"

Laurent let go of his lyre and sighed in response to the little boy's question.

"It was in the song earlier, right? Of course, it was the Wolf Knights who fired the arrow. but... ... ."

"mom! This guy is stupid! "The Wolf Knights are shooting arrows at our warriors!"

The only listener, a sniveling little boy, jumps up from his seat and runs towards a woman. He was the owner of the bar who allowed Laurent to sit down.

She clicked her tongue slightly at the downcast bard.

"It's nice to hear free songs, but is it okay if I have to pay like that every time?"

"That's right. "I heard that the people here really welcome bards."

"Well, since the time is right, no one drinks alcohol in the evening these days."

The interior of Sigismund's estate was in disarray. News of the large-scale southward migration of the demonic beasts has spread, and the head of the guard is in the process of forming his unit by selecting combatants step by step.

The residents of the territory were busy locking doors when the sun went down, and it was highly unlikely that anyone would have the time to ask for a bard's song in such an atmosphere.

The reason I've been doing nothing lately is probably not just because Laurent's song sucks.

"So, who is that great warrior in the song?"

The woman asked while stroking the head of the little boy hanging on the hem of her skirt.

"Didn't I tell you before? "It is me, the prince of the empire."

"Then when will you, the prince, meet the blue-eyed girl?"

"... yes?"

"Isn't that what you're singing now? 'The Wandering Prince and the Blue-Eyed Maid.'"

"no... ... ."

They are His Majesty the current Emperor and Empress. And now the hero of this story is not Him, but His Fourth Son... ... .

Laurent, who was thinking a lot in his head, soon sighed.

Do I really need an explanation? No matter how much he saw the qualities of a great hero, Prince Mores was still just a bastard prince who was not even recognized by these people.

"Come on, let's sing the prince's love song. "In the past, my heart fluttered when I heard songs about great heroes, but as I've gotten older, I really like stories about unfamiliar love these days."

"But my love songs are still lacking. With all my pride as a bard, such a poor song... ... ."

"If you play me a great song, I'll give you a drink in return."

The free alcohol had no artistic spirit or anything.

Laurent sang 'The Wandering Prince and the Blue-Eyed Maid' in front of her, followed by 'The Genius Swordsman and the Fair-Blonde Princess', and finally, he poured out his latest work, 'The Genius Wandering Swordsman and the Moon Maid'.
