Selena: This is Dragonstone......

Indeed, in my opinion, this is just an ordinary gemstone......

The Frelian army, led by Prince Iverem, landed in the harbor.

Will be here soon.

If you could, I'd like to attack them right now......

It's a pity that His Majesty has ordered this stone to be taken back to the imperial capital......

Mel:...... That one......

Selena:?

Mel: Please give me back the stone......

Please.

Selena: Are you?

Mel: Please give me back the stone......

Come on...... At all costs......

Selena: Why this stone?

Who are you?

Not the people of the Empire. Where did it come from?

Mel: If not...... I......

Please, give it back to me.

Selena: Answer my question!

Mel: My name is Mel......

From the Sea of Dark Trees......

I was deceived by the bad guys......

The stone was taken away.

And then I'm going to be kidnapped...... When.

Ivrem helped me......

Then he came here with Iverem.

Selena: And Prince Everem?

Then I can't just give it back to you.

Can you go to the imperial capital with me?

Mel: Wait a minute......

Are you from the Imperial Capital?

You know the inside of the people......

Has there been a particularly big change......

Selena:!

…… What do you mean?

Mel: You're around......

Are there any people who have a sudden change in personality?

It's like you're a completely different person than before?

Selena:......

Why do you say this......

Mel: It's a bad sign.

I'm here to stop this......

Selena:...... Explain it to me.

If you dare to lie, you will look good then.

Mel: Yes...... I say.

I take what I know......

Say it all.

――――

Selena:......

…… I see.

Mel, I understand everything you said.

Mel: Hmm......

Selena: But, I still can't believe it.

Well...... Unbelievable.

If what you say is true......

Then Your Majesty has ......

Mel: Selena......

That one......

Selena: Fluorite......

This was given to me by His Majesty when I was appointed Imperial General.

This gemstone represents the honor of the Imperial General.

It's a treasure of the Goulards......

That was a few years ago......

Now that I think about it, it feels like it was yesterday.

Your Majesty's kind smile and voice full of majesty and love......

Mel: Selena, you......

I like that majesty, right?

Selena: W-what......

Mel: I know.

Selena, how much do you cherish it......

Selena:......

His Majesty is a very kind person.

I was from a civilian background, and I lived in poverty all year round.

Not only do we have to pay taxes, but sometimes we even have to sell our little ones for the winter.

At the most difficult time, the grain brought from the imperial capital arrived.

It is said that His Majesty sent someone to send it.

Just for this small village on the border.

Mel:......

Selena: The kings of other countries thought it was stupid, and it was said that there were some who intercepted and looted on the way.

Of course, these wise Majesties are well aware.

His Majesty reflected on his own approach, even so......

His Majesty finally decided to help us.

Mel:......

Selena: I aspire to become a knight in the imperial capital.

Live for Your Majesty.

That's what I thought.

I want to make what Your Majesty wants to achieve my own ideal......

Mel: Selena......

Selena: Mel, what you're saying feels incredible......

But as things stand, one person will become more than two......

Could this really happen?

Mel: Yes......

That person is no longer the same person......

Selena: How can it be cured?

Mel:...... I'm sorry.

No...... Methods of treatment.

Selena:...... Is it.

Soldier: Serena-sama.

The enemy is closing in here!

Give the order to attack!

Selena: Got it.

Let's go.

Selena: Mel. You're free.

Go back to Prince Iverem.

Mel: Selena......

Selena: I'm sorry, I can't give you back the Dragonstone.

I have sworn that I will never disobey His Majesty's orders again......

Tell Ephrium to retrieve Dragonstone......

Defeat me first.

Mel: This ......

Selena: Let's go.

It's about to turn into a battlefield!

――――

Selena: All the troops!

For the sake of our Gurad Empire!

――――

Seth: Prince Iverem.

There was a Gulad's army in front of them.

The commander is an Imperial General......

【Fluorite】Selena.

Rachel: Selena ......

It is said that the thunderstorm she holds can also attack her opponent mercilessly from a long distance.

Seth: Prince Everem, please be careful about the other party's magic.

――――

Jester: According to Prince Hinias, it seems to be in this area......

Well, where's the one named Iverem?

Tetis: Which side is the Frelian army, and which side is the Gulard army?

I should have gotten a little closer, I can't see it here......

Mel: Ah......

Jester:?

Tetis: Ah, what a lovely boy.

It's okay, come over here......

Jester: How can there be children in this place?

Is it a separation?

Mel:......

Tethys: Don't be afraid, it's okay.

Although this uncle looks terrible, he is not a bad person.

Jester: Ahhh...... That guy was right.

I'm so sad to be so guarded......

Tethys: What's your name, little girl?

Mel: My name is Mel.

I'm going to Iverem......

Jester: Ephrem?

The person we're going to be guarding is called Ephrem......

Do you know where?

Mel: Hmm...... Over there.

Jester: Hey, hey......

――――

Mel: Ephrem......

Ephrem: Mel!

Are you alright...... That's great.

Mel: Ephrem......

I'm sorry......

I...... I......

Ephrium: Mel ......

Mel: I insisted on following Everem all the way here......

So...... I don't want to cause any more trouble......

But...... Even that made Iverem worry for me......

I...... I'm sorry......

Iverem: Alright, Mel.

Me too, didn't take good care of you.

The battle began.

You go back and take a dodge.

Mel: Ephrem...... The man was a good man......

She listened to what I said, so ......

Iverem: Got it.

I tried to convince as much as I could.

――――

Selena: Fluorite......

It was a name given to me by His Majesty.

So, I ......

――――

Selena: ...... Tired......

Right now...... I've ......

――――

Mel: Selena......

Iverem: ......

General Selena seems to have a strange stone.

Mel. Is this the dragonstone you lost?

Mel: Yes...... That's right.

However, I am sad.

Although the [Dragonstone] was retrieved......

Still very sad......

Ephrium: Mel ......

Mel: Ephrem...... Why?

Selena is a good person.

When talking about His Majesty, I feel that she is very happy......

Why Selena......

I'm going to die.

Why do we have to fight?

Iverem: I'm sorry......

If you can convince her, of course it would be best.

But if that's not possible......

I can only knock her down.

Even if it's not right......

I also have a reason why I can't go back.

Mel: I'm sorry......

I shouldn't ......

Blame Iverem.

But...... I'm sad.

Iverem: ......

Mel: I realized this strange feeling and came to the outside world......

I think it's just a matter of letting that ominous feeling go away.

But how is it that the war in the outside world is not like this?

Do not only bad people, but also good people have to die?

Ephrium: Mel ......

Mel: How do you keep good people from dying?

Ivrem: Now I don't know.

In search of answers......

I'm going to the imperial capital.

There, everything will come out.

――――

Iverem: You're Selena?

Selena: That's right.

You're Prince Ephrem.

Ephrem: You know what Mel said.

Withdraw your troops!

The emperor is not mentally normal now!

Selena: I know.

Ephrem: Then why yet!

Selena: I'm an Imperial General.

His Majesty's orders are above all else.

Ephrem: Bastard. You know that the emperor is not in his mind, but you still carry out his orders!

Are you loyal?

Selena: Prince Everem, you don't understand.

I know it's stupid to do that too.

But as a knight, I can only go this way.

Ephrium: Selena......

Surrender, Selena!

I don't want to kill you!

Selena: Kill me?

Don't underestimate people, Prince Ivrem of Runes!

I'm not going to lose here.

As an Imperial General, I'll do my best to defeat you!

――――

Dussel: Selena.

Selena: General Dussel......

I just want to say I'm sorry.

It was my misunderstanding to take you for a traitor.

Your loyalty has not wavered in the slightest.

Dussel: ......

Selena: But I'm not planning to withdraw my troops.

There is no need to say anything more......

Let's fight it out.

Dussel: Why......

Must hit?

Selena: Yes.

This is the path I chose.

I have no regrets.

Dussel: Really......

Then I'll go my way.

Selena:...... Good.

――――

Jester: Are you Ephrem?

Ephrem: Ah, that's right......

Jester: I'm Jester of the Mercenary Regiment.

Hired by Prince Hiniath to join you.

Welcome?

Iverem: Xenias?

Jester: Ah, the prince asked me to send you a message.

"I don't need any help, but Ivrem does, right?"

…… So to speak.

Iverem: Looks like that guy said...... Really.

All in all, thank you for joining us.

Fight with us.

――――

Marika: Captain.

Jester: Oh, Malika!

Did Ewen give you notice?

I'm sorry.

It seems that the union has made a mistake.

Really...... I'm going to talk to them about that too.

Marika: Alright.

It's good to see the captain.

Jester: Aren't you hurt anywhere?

I mistakenly sent you to the port of Tassel.

Good thing you're fine......

Marika: It's fine.

I fought with the captain.

Jester: Hmm...... Sorry.

Our real mission is to protect Prince Iverem.

But it's not so much about protection as it is about taking down the enemy before......

Let's go, Marika.

Marika: Got it.

――――

Eun: Ah, it's my sister.

Tethys: Eun, you've done everything you've been asked to do, right?

It's dangerous here, go back to the old place, the bar.

My sister will rush over soon, okay?

Ewen: No. I can fight too.

Prince Iverium asked me to join him.

Let's go and kill the Bad Emperor together.

Tethys: Ah, wait a minute, Eun!

Is...... Worrying kids.
