Declaration
"Olasha, are you there?"
Aritote enters the room designated as the office.
"Aritote? Are you sure you're okay to move?"
"Yeah... I wasn't hurt or anything..."
Her eyelids are red and swollen, and the dark circles under her eyes are terrible.
"Is there any work I can do?"
"You should rest now..."
"Please"
She probably wants to concentrate on some work and forget about Lucette.
"Then, could you please provide me as much information as possible regarding Marguerite?"
Then I hand her a stack of papers.
"…Yeah, I’ll write it down."
"There's no need to rush, so please give me as much detail as possible."
No reply
Aritote leaves the room.
We can't have Aritote with the rest of the group right now.
Lucette and the others died because of Aritote.
There are many members who think so.
But we don't have time to worry about that.
There are many things that need to be done
Almost half of them need to be completed today.
"Sensei!"
The door swings open
"Doss, please come in a little more quietly."
"Ah, sorry."
I can guess why Doss came in.
"Have they come?"
"Yes"
Now let's go to everyone
-------------------
This is the royal castle
Or, more precisely, what used to be a castle.
Still unrepaired, cracks can be seen in the walls in places.
But on this day, at this moment, there is no more fitting place.
"Everyone!"
The group members heard my voice and straighten their posture.
They are not dressed as adventurers or mercenaries.
They are all clad in knight's armor.
"This was once the capital of the Marguerite Kingdom, the royal castle."
There are people a little further away than the group members.
They're all people from the meadow.
"This country was destroyed once. But today, this day, this time!"
There are people wearing luxurious clothes a little behind me.
They are the royalty of the eastern nations, led by King Boldoi.
"I, Olasha Marguerite, am the king of the kingdom! Olasha Marguerite proclaims the restoration of kingdom!"
