Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 395

 

Bat in the Dark



Viscount Augberts... that's my name...


Where is my place?


Where am I to go if I am not wanted to be born?


The midwife who took me out


The nanny who raised me


My mother who never spoke to me


The father I've never met


A servant who only feeds me


My mother's family put me behind bars.


No one can tell me anything


One day he told me that I was five years old.


The man who called himself Boldoi was right in front of me.


My mother


A nanny


An attendant


My mother's family


They were all killed in front of me.


If I lived a normal life


Would I have hated this king?


Would I have wanted revenge?


...No, that's a hypothetical. Such talk makes no sense.


I was transferred to another country by order of King Boldoi.


When I was 5 years old, I was asked to write a daily diary.


A man named Zalmbald became my educator because I didn't know how to write.


My task was to give Boldoi a report on the affairs of the Kingdom of Marguerite, called a diary.


It's been going on for 15 years




-------------




"This is completely unbelievable..."


Boldoi's minister gives his honest opinion.


"A ship that looks like an island or a mountain, wyverns that covers the sky, and a castle town that covers an entire basin..."


"Is it true that they are a more powerful knight than him?"


Other ministers give a different opinion


"If King Marguerite’s story is true, I think so."


"Hmm, but..."


"Isn’t that good?"


King Boldoi, who has been looking at a copy of the diary, finally speaks.


"We remain committed to supporting Marguerite."


"That's right..."


"The quality of the crops has also improved."


"So, then, I guess the cause was Harness’ gold mine?"


In the Dead Desert, to the west of Marguerite Kingdom is the Shelma Kingdom.


There is a small country called Harness to the south of Shelma and west-southwest of Marguerite.


Harnes, which once flourished as a gold mine, is now a deserted country with no trace left to be seen.


And the time when the former Marguerite goes to the Dead Desert and the time of Harness's glory coincide exactly.


"Viscount Augbert, Bachelor of the Empire, what did he say his name was?"


"Seltense. Seltense Madrick."


"Yes, the bachelor said arsenic? And heavy metals? The water was dissolved and flowed into Marguerite, resulting in the Dead Desert. Was it?"


"That's right. Sulfuric acid was the most concentrated."


"That would destroy the country... it's not like throwing poison into a well. My King."


"Hmm, maybe this country isn't just someone else's problem. I'd like to ask the Empire's bachelor to investigate the mines."


That's the King's answer


"Then I will request his cooperation as soon as I return to Marguerite."


"Fumu, I'll leave the adjustment up to you. Augberts."




Where is my place?


Is it Marguerite?


Is it Boldoi?


…No, both.


I am a bat


I fly silently in the darkness of history, unknown to anyone


Jump between King Olasia and King Boldoi


But hopefully


It doesn't matter if it's dark


I hope somewhere I can find a place to rest my wings
