Towards the low voice of Camila, Listeard said.

“With so many dragons around, the horses will feel threatened.
Let’s leave them here before we approach.”

“Camila, Zeke, Lawrence—look after the horses.
Your Majesty, please stay with His Highness Listeard.
I’ll go ahead and listen to what’s going on.”

Even though there was no shield, no voice could be heard from there.
Jill jumped off the horse and ran down the slope.

Elynsia, whom was about the size of a bean, immediately entered Jill’s field of view.
Behind them were dragons lined up to the point of filling the width of the river.
It was to an extent that only the blue sky behind them could be seen.

Soon, Jill came face to face with Elynsia’s haggard face.

“Did something happen?”

“Yes… I apologize for how sudden this is…”

“Don’t worry about it.
I’m also aware of the dragons flying to Noitral yesterday, could it be—”

—suddenly, Jill’s arm was grabbed by Elynsia.
Soon enough, Jill was restrained by Elynsia.

In a flash, Elynsia pressed the blade of her long sword to Jill’s neck.

“—wha?!”

“Jill!?”

“Don’t move, Hadith! Listeard!”

Jill was taken hostage—that much was obvious.
From behind the dragons of Elynsia, soldiers appeared.
Some of them even came out from behind the trees near the riverbank.

They were surrounded.

Grabbing Elynsia’s arm with her hand, Jill poured all her available magic.
However, with a clicking noise, her magic was repelled.

Elynsia was the member of royal family of Rave, as such, she had magical power.
If Elynsia wasn’t caught off guard like before, Jill wouldn’t be able to disentangle herself.

“…What is the meaning of this, Your Highness Elynsia!?”

“Sorry, Jill… I’m truly sorry, but I…”

“Why would you apologize, Elynsia? You’re doing the right thing.”

Jill frowned at the person who came from behind and passed by her side.

Georg Theos Rave! Then… yesterday’s red dragon… it’s truly this guy!?

Due to the wind coming from the river, his crimson cloak swayed.
Georg swung his silver sword.
The silver sword—the beautiful, but also fake heavenly sword was brimming with magical power.
That was probably the reason it was mistaken for the real thing.

As he swung it down, he shouted.

“All troops, charge! Capture the fake emperor who plagues this empire!”

“Your Majesty!”

The moment Georg shouted that, the soldiers cried out as they charged towards a group consisting of only a few people.

Jill tried to reach out, but Elynsia seized her and saddled her dragon.

“Be quiet.
I don’t want to shed any unnecessary blood.”

“—that, over there, is your younger brother! Despite so—”

“Listeard won’t be killed! My Uncle said he would persuade him!”

“Then, what about His Majesty!? What will happen to His Majesty!? Or is this some kind of strategy!?”

Elynsia bit her lips at Jill shouting.

Elynsia’s eyes had already told the answer in an eloquent manner—

—betrayal.

“Forgive me.”
