On the roads within the forest at the outskirts of the imperial capital, 100,000 individuals have gathered.

Despite the number of people gathered, there was an overwhelming silence in the area.

This is proof that each and every soldier here is very well trained.

In order to relay the situation to Yuuki via “telepathy”, the Black Knight Claude has silently left the area alone.

The vice commander of the mixed corps, he had came here in order to contact Yuuki. That’s why, nobody thought Claude taking action alone was strange.

Due to Yuuki’s “Overwrite” ability, at one point Claude had his allegiance to Leon overwritten. However, thanks to Chloe currently Claude is restored back to normal.

But, after having his heart taken once, Claude has always been troubled about something in his mind.

What is the heart?

As expected, can the heart really be overwritten simply with the use of abilities?

And, can such a thing really be permitted?

Leon is a great man, whom he has taken care of since his youth. He was the strongest man Claude had even known; he was his target of worship and longing.

And towards that Leon, even thought he only betrayed him for an instant, to Claude that was was an unforgivable stain.

However, at this current situation he must continue to act loyal to Yuuki. If he starts to suspects and the fact his heart has been restored has leaked out things are going to take a turn for the worse.

After receiving treatment from Chloe, he has been training his heart with all he has, but he doesn’t have any confidence in his training.

Although he sworn to endure the effects next time, it’s uncertain whether it would succeed. He feared the chances of having his heart overwritten again seemed higher.

Therefore, he must be careful.

In order not to arouse Yuuki’s suspicion, he must pay close attention to his own actions.

Leaving the group, he took a breather.

That Claude had been called out by a voice without a presence.

“Have you finished contacting?”

At first he was shocked within, but after identifying the owner of the voice he understood.

Chloe・O’bell

She was a Bishoujo with mysterious silvery black hair.

It would be hard to imagine from her appearance alone, but she was an existence with horrifying capabilities.

With a single glance, Yuuki had claimed her to be the world’s “strongest”.

“It’s Chloe-dono huh. There are no problems, I was able to contact Yuuki.

But does that guy really intend to initiate a Coup d’etat?

It doesn’t feel like there’re that many merits in doing so……”

“Un. That’s true.

I can’t ever seem to understand what’s he thinking, it’s probably useless thinking about it.”

“Did he asked Chloe-dono for something too?”

“Un. I seem to be his insurance. Just in case something happens.”

“Is this related to the 3 command chances issue?”

Claude was wondering whether Chloe fell under the category of being bound to the three commands (wishes).
