"Prince Eucharlouch." Following the king, the magic swordsmen called out to me after I was freed from dealing with the senior officials. "It must be hard dealing with important people." In response to their words of appreciation, "No, it's really interesting and educational to be able to talk to people from all walks of life."
I reply in a very honorable way.
I don't really believe that, but it's not a complete lie either.
It's up to me whether I can make use of the contents of the conversation or not. "I am impressed by the strength of the hero."
Says the young man who first challenged me.
He looks cold hearted, but that's not really the case, it seems.
"We fought back as magic swordsmen with all our might, and this is the result. We were completely defeated."
The leader of the group said while bowing. "It seems you didn't doubt the hero's strength." In fact, there are many people who are suspicious of the hero's power. Some countries think that we made up the Hero for self-defense because we are a weak kingdom. The Vallegarda Empire was the vanguard of this movement, as they carried out an invasion of our kingdom, which was originally considered taboo. Well, the empire doesn't believe in magic and denies all supernatural things, so that may be a reason.
"They are the ones who rule Braidea, a great monster nation, so they can't be weak,"
I received an extremely calm opinion.
"We are the ones who are responsible for the peace of the country. We cannot allow ourselves to be defeated due to carelessness or complacency!" She says, puffing out her chest. I'm sure that one of the major religions in Sorceras teaches that if you die after giving your all, you will be called to heaven where the gods reside. They gave their all and were defeated by me, so I guess they don't feel ashamed of that in itself. If you're alive, you will encounter situations that you can't do anything about.
If you've tried every possible means and still can't do anything, then it really can't be helped. I felt like I was seeing the strength of those who live in the harsh environment of the desert, and the generosity of accepting things that cannot be helped. "I think that's a great idea. I'd like to follow that example."
I replied with a smile. Not a polite smile, but a smile from the heart.
