Gwen Perrelet.

Although he was born in a noble family, he is the same as his name. He is a man who makes people feel warm involuntarily.

Just like the sun at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning in March, the pleasant temperature is the same as its beautiful platinum golden light. Although it will not make people excited, but its encouraging words are full of hope and vitality.

The young Gwen has golden slightly curly hair, and the corners of his mouth are always slightly raised subconsciously, looking gentle and shy. And under its sunshine-like appearance, there is a hopeful, sensible and firm heart.

He did not fall in love with his wife, but got married directly according to the instructions of the family. It was a beautiful woman with all the beautiful qualities that a "wife" should have, and she was perfect like a commodity.

After marriage, life was plain and routine, and soon Gwen had his own son. His most beloved brother since he was a child named him "Had Reimer", based on the hunter in a fairy tale book.

I just became a teacher at Baird College, and I had a family and son before I fell in love at a young age. Gwen couldn't help sighing whenever he saw his brother running after Jiulan with a smirk. But since he was born earlier than Roz Roltun as the eldest son, all the burdens were arranged by heaven.

The entire Perrelet family rested on his shoulders. Although he is a gentle person, it does not mean that Gwen is a "soft-hearted" idiot. His wish is very simple, he just hopes to protect the happy daily life between himself and his family.

However, even this kind of "daily life" requires a price.

Although the war on the mainland because of the magic core came to an end because of Yinglan's unstoppable force, it continued. Baide has lingered until now because he possessed the "Mana", but if he does not use the treasure, the treasure will only be the seed of the disaster that will come.

And at this moment. Someone in the family who founded Baide together has spoken out.

Relying on the talent advantages of Mana and Baide, vigorously develop the "Military Magic Guide". Use the magic army to stop Yingran's dragon knights. The only way to end war is war.

"No! We sweared when we created ‘Baide’. Never use magic guides in warfare!"

what. Yes. That initial vow. All the good wizards who have been displaced by the "magic" have placed their ideals and ethical oaths.

The sound of the chair pulling suddenly sounded, and the same angry voices erupted from the crowd one after another. But Gwen keenly discovered that many people were still silent.

And he himself sat in a chair, bowed his head silently.

The flames of war were spreading, and from the end of Baide's sky came a clear and clear dragon cry. Time never waits for anyone. At this time, the inside of Baide also changed.

Either light or dark. Families continue to decline rapidly.

Gwen stood by the beautiful man-made lake in his courtyard that day, watching his still beautiful wife and his grown-up son playing. Dawn fell on his golden curly hair, his eyes were so gentle.

Until a high-ranking friend visited him.

It was a friend of my own age who used to go to school together. Now he is standing in the shadow of the sun, still smiling to himself.

The purpose is also very simple.

I hope the Perrelet family will express their views.

"The reason is complicated... for the Perrelet family's status in Baide, the safety of the family... Oh. And the future of the country. I also know very well... If you don't develop a military wizard, Baide will definitely be taken. Yinglan is flat."

The sparkling lake light reflected in the old man's dim eyes. The man sitting across from me can only collapse in a wheelchair under a blanket, looking at the man-made lake alone, wondering if he misses something.

"Haha...Anyway, the reason is complicated." Gwen smiled. The dark and hoarse voice was like fine sand passing by, "But in the end...I chose to ignore it."

Turn a blind eye to the cruel "farce" performed by Baide. Give acquiescence to all actions that violate the oath.

Gwen Perrelet is actually an indifferent person.

"But you know. Destiny always likes to tease people. Oh..."

As if thinking of something. Gwen chuckled.

retribution.

As a retribution for "turning a blind eye to hearing and not hearing" oneself. The younger brother of his wife, the only son of the family, was assassinated.

And the wife who always smiles to herself. From then on, he stopped talking.

Only then did Gwen Perrelet understand.

It turned out that she always knew what she was doing.

"She was a gentle and strong woman... but not long after that. She committed suicide."

"...Hadremo is also because of this. Do you resent you?"

The voice lowered unconsciously, I asked Gwen like this. And respond to me. It was he who nodded very slowly and faintly.

"But even now... I will make the same choice."

"Gadrich. Sometimes our choices are like this. The right... is often the most painful."

"But. If you insist."

The dim sight left from the lake and fell on me. I struggled, I don't know whether to tell him or to tell myself, "Just hold on... just in case there is another way."

"Haha. That's just delaying time."

I was unwilling to be silent.

"But Gadriche. Hope is not a bad thing."

The black eyes shrank slightly. I raised my head. Gwen looked at Gwen faintly.

"Work hard...and hope."

The gray-haired old man looked at me and smiled, with overly complicated emotions in his eyes reflecting the light of the lake.

"Then. Wait for the miracle to come."

...

Hadremer's funeral the next day. Gwen still didn't come.

It's snowing in December. The scene before him seemed to overlap a year ago. The dark eaves covered by white snow are filled with gravel roads with water-stained beaches. Even this empty square where there was a group of "Snow Fairies" last year.

Obviously this year's snow has also accumulated. But there is not a snowman yet.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, I thought so. Baide is a rigid country. He thought he would stand neatly according to the major of the college even today.

But unexpectedly. Just pulled a dark rope. On one side of the rope is us students who are standing scattered, and on the other side is a dark coffin. With my professional eyesight, I can tell that this is a mixture of black wood and gem-level magic core, and Hardremo died very richly.

"Hadremer Perrem. A respectable humanist, teacher, magic scholar—"

Standing on the high platform at the end of the crowd. The middle-aged man in the dark robe began to mourn the eulogy.

From his solemn but unwavering voice, what came was the life of a man named Hadremer Perrelet. It was a glorious and magnificent life. But I understand that this kind of eulogy is to add fuel and jealousy, he is actually a good teacher with enthusiasm.

"...Standing a little tired."

I muttered like this. Leaning his body, he leaned against Arnold.

The ice knight looked at me. Even if I leaned over suddenly, it did not move a little like a pillar, "Do you need me to hold you."

unnecessary. Please be serious at other people's funerals.

I slandered in my heart. He pressed his head with a pair of dead fish eyes to show his dissatisfaction.

However, the iceberg remained motionless. It makes my head hurt.

Snow fell sparsely, accumulated on my shawl, and melted on my bare skin. The icy and gloomy feelings seemed to remind me of the cruel reality before me over and over again—the death of Hadremer, and Gardrie's defeat was unequivocal.

But I can't cry anymore. Instead of extreme sorrow, there is a quiet enlightenment wrapped in emptiness.

Thanks to my fair height, Edwin was quickly found among the crowded dark people. Although the dark robe had no characteristics, the long, smooth dark hair was easy to recognize with Sophie beside him.

He stood at the front of the crowd, standing straight. The blond, graceful beauty stood quietly beside him. Obviously they are not close together, but they give me a feeling of mutual support.

I stood on the other side of the crowd, unable to see his expression. All that was left for me was a thin figure wrapped in a robe. The white snow fell beside him, occasionally stopping a few times on his long hair.

Did he take the words of that day in his heart?

Looking at the overly straight figure, I thought quietly.

"Hadremer Perrem's body has turned into elements and returned to nature."

"But his soul will always be with you."

The silent crowd suddenly became noisy. I recovered, but only heard the last two words of the man.

But I quickly understood what happened.

The young student standing in front of me turned around and tremblingly stretched out his hands to me. He was crying, and the suppressed cry was mixed with choking from all over. And I was looking at what was in his palm, shocked and unable to speak.

Those are many beautiful stones that are as beautiful as jewels. The platinum-colored sunlight is refracted in the white world, shining brightly.

[But his soul will always be with you. 】

"..."

Huge sadness gushes out from the place called "heart" in the body. At the moment when I was about to vent from my mouth, I was abruptly stopped. I bit my lower lip. Take the stone with both hands. After taking out two of them, he turned around and handed them to the person behind them.

The students standing behind me are like me. After a moment of stiffness, his body shivered slightly.

I was silent. After turning around again, he handed one of the stones to Arnold beside him. The jellyfish with aqua-blue hair pinched the two ends of the stone with his thumb and index finger, and observed it, with a calm voice, "Transparent artificial magic core. There are not many magical elements in it. What is this."

"This is Hadremer."

Arnold looked at me.

"Here is his soul. It's the ‘heart’."

Her right hand tightly held the tiny gem against her chest. Although the expression was uglier than crying, I still smiled at the calm-eyed man around me.

"To you too. Last wish."

Ugh--

As expected, Otome is rigorously complaining about Western fantasy funny realism.
