48 Padilla in Poor Memory.

The banquet held on the second night was not what I expected. Romantic appetites like the prom were slow, but Kara's local establishment and the four tribes couldn't help but rush around trying to stamp their faces on the envoys.

It was a war. It was one of the few dangers that could bring the privileged people down. I couldn't help but do what I could to survive.

Earl Fabious, who was pouring a cup with me, saw this and said a word.

“Everyone's busy. ”

“Let's just live for now. I can't say I blame you. ”

“But from Kara's point of view, wouldn't the blood be parched? ”

“Be gentle when you know. Those three conditions, don't you think it's too much for Grandpa to see? This is about the war, isn't it? ”

Marquis Fabious shrugs.

“It's a condition that Kara would never accept. But even our kingdom has its own money and efforts in preparing for war, and we can't afford to lose money. ”

I smiled, Pic.

“Hey, Grandpa? Do you know why gamblers are such a disgrace? I'm screwed because of that original idea. You have to lose money when you lose money. ”

“Why would we do that? ”

“The Great Desert Bandits. You can't get rid of them. ”

“Why?”

“Are their activities more spacious? We need 400,000 security forces per square kilometer, only in the territory of the Horse's Trade Route. What are you going to do? ”

Marquis Fabious glances at me with a subtle glance.

“You. You speak the same as Duke Bastein. ”

“Did the Duke say the same thing? ”

“I did. That's why he opposed this war forever. ”

“Oh, my God. So you knew we were going to war? Ridiculous.”

“It's still a business in the Western Plains and Kara here. ”

That's what happens when you don't have any Independents. Now, the Great Desert Bandits don't attack Kara's Merchant Guild, but when they do, they'll all turn. By pillaging blood, too.

The Great Desert Trade Route itself becomes heavily blocked and intercontinental trade is significantly less frequent than before.

“Is everything going your way? ”

“But it's none of my business. ”

“Huh?"

“I am armed. If we are told to fight, we just have to fight. And politicians do it. ”

I look at the Marquis for a long time and hold my head back.

“Well, yes. ”

I stared at the night sky outside the window with a weary face.

“After all, this war is the last war of my life. So I'm just going to go without any regrets. ”

I keep nodding and staring at the Marquis with a sudden look in my eyes.

“The last war? ”

“Yes. I have grown old and become very weak. Come on, I can't handle the power of time as a human. ”

Wow, look at this old man.

Eight years later, many heroes appeared and disappeared, but if I had to name one of the most fierce heroes among them, it was that inspiration.

To some extent, during the Polkin Gateway Workshop, I went outside the flooded gates and slaughtered a large number of magic objects. When I fought against King Zod, I went first and wounded his foot.

I'm not calling him a psycho for nothing. Marquis Fabious is the best Raider of the Age of Doom.

“Grandpa, can we not do life's repentance later? Because it looks so clean to me. ”

Marquis Fabious touches his face.

“Is that so?"

“Yes, Grandpa's going to live a long time. I guarantee at least 10 years. ”

I am the only one I know who has lived longer than this grandfather. That old man persistently survives and serves as the last general commander of humanity.

Marquis Fabious looks pleased.

“You have to live long enough. I came here this time to get clues for the Mind Master, but it's just too bad to die like this. Yawn.”

“Yes, you must become a mind master, get more wives, get some clogs, and reunite with the Roots. ”

“Got it. Hehe. ”

Marquis Fabious raises his glass.

“You're leaving already? ”

“I've got a busy day tomorrow, so I'm gonna go get some shut-eye. ”

“Okay. Bye, then. I'll see you tomorrow. ”

Earl Fabious, who was leaving the banquet hall, hurriedly took another glance at me.

“Oh, the backbone. What are you gonna do now? ”

“What?”

“I'm asking whose side you're on. ”

The meaningful gaze of Marquis Fabious flows into my indifference.

“Where's the boss on your side? At best, he'll be on the other side of the equation. ”

“Then we stand with the Kingdom of Robos. ”

“On what grounds? ”

“We'll offer you much better terms than Kara. ”

I smiled at him.

“I'm sorry. You can't. ”

“Why?”

“Our excitement is astronomically high wages for combat. I hate war. ”

“Why?”

“It's no fun. I always lose a battle. This is really not funny. ”

“At what point · · · · · · · ·? ”

“I've fought more battles than you, to be honest. But I lost like crazy. I never won a first place. ”

In the past, I have participated in numerous battles. Most of them have lived through the age of destruction and fought magic, but they have never been better before.

But strangely, there was never a history of winning. They were so miserable that they couldn't even manipulate the statistics to make it a victory.

Marquis Fabious rolls his eyes.

“Are you saying you're a graduate of the Hundred and Hundred? ”

“Worse than that. ”

“Backbone. You just stick to Kara. It's not a matter of skill, it's a matter of weight. ”

“Oh, come on, don't tease me. I'm serious.”

“Got it. Hehe. ”

Marquis Fabious barely smiles and returns to his quarters.

* * *

It was an ambitious night after the banquet. I was taking a quick walk down the dark corridor of Kara Palace to return to my quarters.

I'm a little scared because there's no one around. Of course, there was a bright full moon floating outside the window, but that's why it's scarier. It was because the statue of Euroa, standing in the hallways, was being given a creepy atmosphere by the light of the moon.

"Boys, let's get some magic lights on. ’

As I turn the corner, I flinch at the sudden burst of sound. Like a strange whistling sound, this sound repeats regularly and clutters my ears.

“Oh my god. What the hell?”

Looking down at my courage slightly, I found a young woman with blue hair waving a spear at the training ground outside. I sighed for relief. Luckily, it was a person.

Who is it?

She was wearing a very tight black dress with a clear shoulder blade. Overall, Manat's energy was quite strong, and he was performing very eloquent and sharp movements, as if he had been practicing spear for a long time.

But I felt a little familiar. So was the back of the woman, and the window she was holding.

“Gaussian large receiving window · · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

Gauss, the Great Spear of Receiving, was one of the seven last days left in the world by the Great Daughter of Euroa. Now in the Sacred Hall, I meet a new owner and come out into the world next spring.

The spear she was holding seemed to be a copy of Gauss.

Since the citizens of Kara believe that the Daughter of Euroa is almost divine, there is nothing strange about anyone carrying a copy of Gauss.

‘But I saw her somewhere, too. You can't be Padilla.

I opened my eyes.

Padilla is the woman who will be the owner of "Gauss the Great Hall of Reciprocity" next year, who hides her tracks for a while and reveals herself to the world in the age of destruction as the queen of turbulence and the leader of the three generations.

But she was from the realm of Caligo, a dark force. Never, not here in Kara.

“Isn't it?”

But I couldn't just say no. She had blue hair and sunburnt skin, and so was Padilla.

Moreover, Padilla disliked the Kingdom of Robos more than anything else. He never accepted the people of the Robotic Kingdom in the third generation he led, and even during the Polkin Gateway Workshop, he never went to the Robotic Kingdom defenses but only to our Yosrahim Empire or other defenses.

If Padilla was originally Kara, it was understandable. Kara is destroyed by the Kingdom of Robos.

‘Padilla. I miss you. ’

In the age of destruction, Padilla was the only one who was kind to me.

During the Polkin Gateway Workshop, my troops were rescued from the crisis several times. After the destruction of Yosrahim, I turned my back on everyone and asked Kern Kingdom Command to appoint me to the Ceiling.

Afterwards, we went out to the front several times and fought together, often eating together.

But there was no nuisance. I always wanted to go to Ignes' second front, but I couldn't see her anymore because she kept dragging me to Ignes' third front.

But when I think of her last time, my heart is still sad. Was it when the new guy ambushed the Demon King Zod? At that time, Padilla came to me in a body so overwhelming that she could not resurrect Gauss and breathed her last breath into my arms.

Anyway, Padilla, in my memory, was a strange woman who was very beautiful, but she was very claustrophobic and had poor emotional expression.

“Let's check it out. ”

I jumped out the window and very carefully approached the woman suspected of being a Padilla.

She was tall enough for a woman. The body and long legs that showed a firm curve were stretched out to look luscious, and the blue hair that came down to the base of the waist was silky soft and shiny.

Its clear blue eyes glow like sapphires under the moonlight, and its clever nostrils are visible even when it covers its lower body with a white silk thread.

It was only a slight blemish on the medium-sized breasts, but overall, it seemed obvious that she was quite a beauty.

‘I think Padilla might be right. ’

As you can tell by the veil, Padilla was right about the overall body type. I showed my curiosity and approached her.

The woman felt faint and turned the pack towards me.

“Who are you?”

When I heard her shout, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of shame. His voice was also fad and plaque.

“Hey. Hi. ”

The woman carefully looked at the mask on my lower back, and her eyes narrowed.

“Caoyan in the White Mask? ”

“You know me? ”

“I know. But what are you doing here? This training ground is not a place where anyone can just barge in. ”

“I have a question. I would never do anything bad. I just need to ask you one question. ”

The woman relaxes slightly.

“Yes, tell me. ”

“What's your name? ”

“Your name? Just out of curiosity, you broke in here? ”

“It's very important to me. She looks a lot like the person I used to know. ”

The woman drew attention to me and said in a flowing tone.

“Hesa Sharif Karada. Is that enough?”

“Ahh. Huh?”

Hesa Sharif Kara is the name of Kara Tohu.

I'm glad you know Padillin, but I don't know what this is. If she feels threatened by me and calls for a bodyguard, maybe I'll have to fight the whole Kara.

When I was embarrassed and couldn't think of leaving, Hesa warned me.

“Do you have any more questions? ”

“No, I don't. ”

“Then go. ”

Fortunately, it seemed to be going smoothly. As soon as I try to leave in a hurry, Hesa asks me a quick question.

“But who is like me? ”

“Oh, it's Padilla, the girl I used to know. Never mind, it's nothing. ”

As soon as he heard that, Hesa opened her eyes and shouted.

“How do you know that name? Anyone who knows that name is counted as one hand. ”

“Huh?"

“Padilla is my nickname. ”

As expected of Padilla. It was a pleasure, but I couldn't be more pleased to see Hesa in action. Anyway, me and her don't know each other.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“White cotton. How do you know my nickname?" Answer me. "

“Well, well, well. ”

Hesa looked at me closely and thoroughly. For a moment, her stiff-looking expression slowly cleared up, and suddenly it was bright.

“By any chance, Grand Duke Jan? ”

Suddenly, my real name came out of Hesa's mouth. I was so surprised that my face turned white.

“What are you talking about? Duke Jan is dead. How can I be Duke Jan? ”

“But there's only one person who knows my nickname besides my dead parents, Grand Duke Jan. We met on the coronation day of Emperor Yosrahim. ”

I was reminded of the coronation day of my uncle, who was held very large as a child. At that time, famous people from all over the world visited the empire to celebrate their uncle's coronation, including a young foreign girl.

Now that I think about it, that girl was crying because her skin was chaotic, being mocked and stoned by the children of the Imperium nobles, and I saved her on the way.

Of course, I had no intention of saving them, but the noble children ran away in terror as soon as they saw me, and the misunderstanding was complete as the girl showed her gratitude to me.

“Oh?”

“You're right, right? ”

“No. Absolutely not. Goodbye.”

I ran away from the burinake. How can they be woven together like this?

To think that Hesa, the soothsayer of Kara, was that Padilla, an exotic girl I saved at her uncle's coronation. It was as if some damn god was playing with me, and I even felt ridiculous.
