Wishes are such things that I have long forgotten.

The so-called wish is the existence of expecting and having beautiful illusions.

And I, on the other hand, have long been swallowed up by the cruel reality of all illusions.

Illusory wishes and cruel reality, I chose to live in reality.

"Don't ask me, I don't know what my wishes are, my current state, I have fallen to the point of hatred for the unreasonable reality, na-house, why did you say that this world has become such a spotless world?"

"Don't you want to see a world that doesn't change?"

"That's not right, our world is not the same, it's always changing, but the prison-like change is still free, what I hope is the impulse to make me gamble with my life."

"Our world, although the same as the same, but I think this world, because there is no change, we can embrace the reality, try to live, when tomorrow's survival has become a luxury, we will miss the comfortable life of the past."

"Do you miss the comfortable life you have now? You're right, but this world is boring for me, and that doesn't change it, and the mental emptiness is more terrible than illness."

「Lance1ot——」

"Don't worry, I'm talking a little too much, house, please believe in yourself, I will also believe you, let's go and create that free country together."

It's not a lie, but I believe that House can really bring me such a country.

Even now, that so-called country is very far away from us.

I think we might be able to do that, even if it's infinitely close to zero, not equal to zero.

——

March and March.

Half a year has passed.

Our Baratheon exhibition went very, very well.

The possibility that infinity equals zero has been reduced to 99%.

Our internal affairs are governed by a group of very professional officials, and externally there is the invincible Blue Knights.

Taking care of both the inside and outside, it has also made us one of the most powerful forces on this big 6.

As our power grows, so do our internal problems.

Those officials have completely emptied the central power of the house, and if it continues like this, the house will probably become a symbol, and I will never allow such a thing to happen.

Baratheon exists because of her, and Baratheon, who is not led by her, has no value at all.

"Kmira, what kind of leader do you say House is?"

This is one of the last questions I ask before I act.

"House's judgment has always been correct, and he is a capable leader who is forward-looking, graceful and powerful, and does what he says."

After hearing KMIRA's answer, I left the central hall.

——

"Are you crazy! Do you know what you're doing?"

Facing the angry officials, I smiled and drew my short knife.

I chose my approach, and I had to get this group back to the house.

It doesn't matter if it's hated, it's the path I chose, and I definitely don't regret it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think you can represent all that Baratheon has to offer?"

"Isn't it? Don't forget, without us, you'd be doomed, even now, if we let go, you'd be doomed."

"So, why do you think I care if Baratheon exists or not?"

「...」

"I only care if this game will make me happy, and for that, it is not impossible to overthrow you and re-establish a country."

"How long do you think a country can survive on your own without us?"

"It won't last long, but so what, overthrowing and establishing, isn't that the pleasure I want to see the most?"

"You are crazy, no one will be like you, no one will abandon everything that exists and choose a crazy war."

"Really? Looking at our reality, class solidification, political corruption, youth unemployment over 2o%, and even lower birth rates, who do you think would like such a country? Who would want their children to be born in such a country."

The official didn't care about my words at all.

He sneered at me contemptuously.

"That's reality, it's different here, if you can't even tell what reality is, I'll see you see the doctor."

"Why would you think that even if it's not reality, someone would want to make this a second reality? What is the charm of that world full of irrationality, cruelty and pain, that can make us ordinary people like to replicate our world here?"

「...」

"You think we're going to be willing to suffer twice as much? Or twice as much pressure? We play games for fun, and no one likes that reality."

"If you want to normalize the country, then these are the paths that you have to choose, at the expense of a small number of people, this is inevitable, no one can be perfect, you have to understand that."

"So, why do we, a small number of people, take your so-called sacrifice for granted? Do you want us to choose to die in order to save the world?"

"If it could save the world, you'd definitely choose to do it."

A righteous and awe-inspiring sacrifice.

The fearless spirit of sacrificing the small self and achieving the big self.

Well—it's good, it really looks like the words of the officials.

"I'm sorry, I'm not such a selfless person, I'm an ordinary person who is selfish and only cares about my own life and death, as long as I can live one more second, then I will never die for others, if you want to say that this is cowardice, so what, insist that I, an ordinary person, voluntarily choose to sacrifice in order to save my fellow human? What a joke!"

"Hmph—on your scales, don't we all weigh as much as you alone?"

——

"If the continuation of this world must be based on someone's sacrifice, then it is better for this world to be destroyed as soon as possible."

——

"I see in you all the negativity of us humans."

"No, it's not a negative, it's a reality, a reality that you have to admit."

"Is selfishness and cowardice a reality?"

"What you need to face is our malice towards the world, and don't forget that it is not only us who is cruel, the world treats us a hundred times more cruel than we treat him."
