Herscherik

Chapter Eight: Jealousy, Hatred and Distress Part Two

Hershelik sits in front of a horse that Oran runs, and he finds himself saddled to avoid being shaken down.

Of course, Oran shouldn't support Hershelik with one hand to keep him from falling, but the horse running at the fastest speed than that was a struggle for Hershelik.

When I finally got attached to the orphanage, my soul was half out on the horse.

Have Oran drop you off and take a deep breath.

"Prince, let's hurry.

Oran rushes. He wasn't out of breath even though he ran the fastest horse he'd ever ridden to this point. That's the honorary student from the former college. When I graduated, I was a critical inferior graduate.

"Yeah."

Proceed to the orphanage with him.

The time was already around 10 pm. I guess the kids are asleep. The lights are almost out.

(We need to hold back the evidence somehow...)

The pattern of Ignaerts, already a seller, is suppressed. If he finds out something happened, the evidence could be erased, and the medicine could be purified and the equipment hidden.

The plan was to tighten up Ignaz on the spot, find out the curtain, solve the problem fundamentally, and get access to materials for the creation of neutralizing drugs that would be effective for the drug.

There is already no material in the country for this medicine for strengthening the human body. Because Crowe was being taken out of a hard-won vault. By the way, this information was requested and discovered by Marx to an R&D acquaintance.

That's why I really need medication material. I don't know if the orphanage has the materials I want. But still, none of it is possible.

"……… Mr. Octavian?

Upon entering the orphanage grounds, Baron Almin was present. Put your face in the shadow of the building.

"And you, Lyoko, what's wrong?

"Baron Almin......"

He smiles a good smile of people. Usual Hershelik would have smiled back at him, but now he's the man to be most vigilant.

"Prince, step back.

One step before Oran laid his hand on the sword.

"Baron, I need to ask you something. And let the three of you who are hiding in the shadow of the building come out.

"Mr. Octavian!?

To the baron who opens his eyes to surprise, Oran pulls his sword out of his sheath without alarm.

"…… Baron, I need to ask you something about the medicine.

Something glowed on the moon and night, as if to react to Oran's words. Oran slaps it down calmly. A throwing knife smaller than a regular knife is rolling when Hershelik confirms the knocked down sole.

"Again, the baron... ugh."

I can hear Oran's regrettable, and sad voice coming from overhead. It must have been someone he trusted. Hershelik didn't really know how alert he seemed to be, either.

View the Baron. But he panicked and stuffed himself with a knife thrown at him.

"Please don't hurt them!

"It's impossible, Baron Almin. They knew we existed.

The voice was both a man and a woman. He was deeply hooded and dressed in dark colored clothes that blended into the darkness. The other two who showed up were dressed the same way. The difference would be about the height. He grips each with a knife, a dagger, a throwing knife, and comes this way.

"I mean, there's the big balls behind you.

Hershelik is convinced. And things were more complicated than I imagined.

"Oran, get him without killing him.

"Copy that."

The next moment he replied briefly, Oran stuffs the three men with weapons in an instant.

Oran flashed his sword against them delayed in reacting to the sudden motion. But the biggest one takes the sword with a duplicitous knife, and the other two immediately jump from Oran's intermission to take the distance.

Despite poking his surprise, Oran lurks his eyebrows in their movements more than he could imagine.

(These guys, they're trained.

With that in mind, Oran takes a break from the man who was taking the sword. There is a condition that this one doesn't kill, and there is also a handful that protects Hershelik.

If the other guy is an amateur, he's still quite a genius.

(But I can't lose.

Oran holds the sword with his dominant hand and pulls the sheath off his belt with his free hand.

A knight is a rare duplicant. Because when knights use swords, they often have shields. But since the Ordis are family members and love to fight, if they are strong, they have everything they need, and Oran has mastered all the fighting methods that interest him.

There are two priorities this time: don't kill him or catch him, protect the prince. Protecting your prince is your top priority, but you can take away your ability to fight without killing him with your sword, but it's not easy. But with a sturdy sheath, you can defend, restrain, and become a blunt instrument. Now it is possible to beat the steeple and deprive it of its ability to fight.

Oran's heart was very quiet when he set up his sword and sheath and confronted his enemies. Thoughts are clear, and even though they are overwhelmingly unfavourable in terms of one-on-three and number, they are just the difference between heaven and earth from before Ignaz.

Oran understands that one of the causes is Hershelik's existence. The disgust for the royalty that was in him disappeared at some point, and new emotions were sprouting.

Hershelik was fascinated by the battle of Oran.

Oran's move was brilliant, even though he said that the situation was one-on-three, that he would catch him alive, and that he was under unfavourable conditions to have a leg to leg.

While dealing with a knife duplicitous opponent, he knocks off the knife thrown and, while sending a third assault to poke at him, adjusts his position to keep him away from Hershelik, aiming at the steeple while defending and restraining him with a sheath.

It's easy if only to put it into words, but this meant that Oran's combat abilities far outweighed them.

Oran still has room for the hostiles who are starting to see the rush. He seemed to take the time to wait for his opponent to lose focus.

(I'll do what I can.

Hershelik looks at Baron Almin. There was a battle going on in front of me.

"Baron Almin!

Hershelik threw his voice at him like that. I made sure the baron was pointing this way, and he continued his words.

"Why did you sell drugs?" Besides, I can't believe you used the orphanage kids!

"…… I had no choice.

Baron Almin disagrees with Hershelik's words. But it was a very weak voice. Sewing between the sounds of the sword trident, his voice did reach Hershelik.

"I have no choice?

"The money, I needed it. I really needed money for the orphanage, for the kids!

It was a cry from his heart.

As soon as his wife died, the business began to lean. That puts the management of the orphanage at risk.

Applying for subsidies to the state only got enough gold to make it only water to the burning stone. In the next step, when the orphanage was closed, he was approached to broker drug trafficking.

"I had no choice!

If you refuse, there will be no place for the children and they will starve. That's all I wanted to avoid. That's why I put my hands together with them.

"The nobles of this country never try to see or help anything down, struggling! I've lived a wealthy life before, they've been rewarded!

Count Almin is right, nobility and royalty...... Hershelik himself has never had the same hardships as the orphans did, and he doesn't know it. If you go back to the castle every day, a meal will be prepared, there will be sleeping beds, and you won't have any trouble with the clothes you will wear tomorrow. It would surely be a life of jealousy for those who struggle.

"... but such they are also someone's children and parents! It's not something that others can take away!

It's a different matter from this. The dead also have loved ones, people who think of the dead.

Parents who have lost their children in this incident will be pessimistic about the future. Children who have lost their parents can become the same orphans they are. Maybe I'll have a harder time than them.

Even if it were the reward of having a hand in medicine, death would unhappily slam all around you equally, regardless of your pride.

Besides, I didn't think everything would change because they were gone.

Hershelik also understands the current state of nobility in this country. That's why I try to do something about it every day.

"In the world, you can't just live with ideals and beauty!

Baron Almin's sad voice echoes. I can't live with the beauty of the world alone. Hershelik also understands that painfully.

Grab the silver Komi pocket watch that is unconsciously in your pocket from the top of your clothes.

(I think so too. However……………)

From that day the Count was gone, Hershelik had carved it into his heart.

"Just because you're weak, it's wrong for the right person, the serious person, to look at the stupid world.

A world where sincerity pays off. A world where evil is right. A world where all people can share happiness.

"We have to pierce our ideals, and the world won't change.

Hershelik said quietly, but forcefully.

Hershelik never thinks that he is right about everything.

Sometimes we have to compromise, sometimes when we need to do something dirty.

The world can't live by beauty alone.

I guess Baron Almin was in a situation where there was nothing he could do.

So even though I knew it was a sin, I did.

Even though he knew it was wrong, he thought he needed it.

A serious person, an honest person, has to change the world of seeing fools.

A world where the kind grieve must come to an end.

Hershelik understands that that is the ideal theory and that it is beautiful.

It's hard to change people, countries, the world.

Even if that's a thousand miles of road, an endless path... still Hershelik can't help but ask for it. Such an ideal world.

"I don't care what anyone says, if you don't set out your ideals, if you don't ask... if you don't pierce it, it won't start!

Hershelik tells himself as he tells Baron Almin.

Hershelik is aware of his inconsistencies.

We do not choose the means to acquire the ideal country. If I had to overturn my ideals just to get it... Baron Almin could be my future self.

(So……………)

Watch Oran continue the fight. Now I'm sure.

(I need Oran.

Baron Almis collapsing on the spot.

"What was I supposed to do………………"

I just wanted to help the kids. Take the baron. The children are not just orphans. It was my family.

"Baron, you can't change the past.

I can't change what has happened. Time cannot be traced back.

"But the future can change.

The baron looks up to the word. At that time, the sound of the door opening sounded slightly.

When Hershelik ran his gaze, the girl through the door...... Colette was glaring at her face.

"… sir?

As the tension was complicated, Colette's groaning of the unsweetening of the situation sounded.

"Colette, you can't come!

Baron Almin speaks up. But one of the threesomes already... the first person to talk to turns to her.

Hershelik runs out. Because my position was closer to hers than their position.

Stand on the line that connects them to her.

"You failed.

Bite Hershelik's lips on those who slowly approach him.

Moving from that position, Hershelik also knew that Oran would not be able to protect him. But if I hadn't moved, Colette would surely have been their hostage.

(I'll give you money if you have to!

Hershelik stands up. I don't even know if they are men or women, but even women are effective. For some reason it is a previous life experience.

"Prince!"

Oran moves to protect Hershelik, but the knife inhibits the interrupter.

Hershelik stood up in the hands of the demon, slowly approaching like a lot.
