Zero no Tsukaima:Volume14 Chapter1

Chapter 1: The Flowerbed Squadron's Rebellion

The river gently flows through the Capital of Gallia where King Joseph awaits in his palace.

From the old town center which extends from the central area, the soldiers on horses took 13 minutes to run back to the royal capital city.

The streets got cut off, out of the long, uninterrupted stone wall. They couldn’t see that it hasn’t been cut off.

On that other side of the stone wall, is where King Joseph’s family lives.

Whether or not the palace was built according to the kind of end and reading the scale will help you understand.

This much of the place was not searched and the land that makes up the large palace was elaborated everywhere around the central area.

That night, with the favor of twin moons that was hidden by the dark clouds, darkness began to engulf the source of light that shine through the eerie night. One shadowy figure was seen, in a form of a horseman who was swaggering and dashing towards a gate surrounded by red roses which is in fact the east side of the royal palace.

It was still dark even with the light from the torches that were hung on the palace wall. With the heavy rain that fell that noon, humidity has risen up to its high point and the night mist wrapped around the knight.

“Walk to the right side, young knight,” said an elf as it lifted its decorated hat in a tired voice. “However, regarding the Furotte Bilateral fleet and the rebellion. Commander Lord Claville, he knows that the governments aren’t loyal to the king. Now that is rebellion! Tradition falls to area, politics becomes corrupted, and nobility only thinks increasing the gold coin of the warehouse, the commoner thinks and can increase only taking part in the share. All this leads to rebellion!”

A horseman took a deep breath and with a small voice, started singing a song that is popular back in his town.

“Staying behind is my favor from King Joseph and the Founder. We together with King Joseph will reign over the radiance of Halkeginia. Could this be done by our Founder for some reason? What is the reason for this friendly help that came from God? Oh King Joseph. The fragrance of the flower that I received disappeared somewhere. Oh King Joseph. This place that becomes our homeland, it is beautiful. What are the many reasons I’m disgusted towards the rebel’s fleet?”

The Saint Mallon fleet that ports in the North West seashore of Gallia suddenly confronts a rebellion receiving a report that the naval port is being closed this morning. Many groups of horseman that are opposite to the chestnut fleet obeyed the Capital’s martial law.

At that moment, it seems that the troops that surrounded the fleet exchanged glare between the people in the ship.

There was this young horseman among the troops, who looked like the old aged knight of South Lily Flowerbed, that showed pitty in his eyes.

"You really think that this is the cause of the rebellion."

"That is what we've heard. We have to do this. Probably that it has to do with the driving force at this time of night. But, if you compare to the other troops here that starts compacting the duty of the Saint Mallon fleet, you probably can call it an easy mission to accomplish. The rebels want to stick to the same Gallia because they aren’t afraid.”

The old aged horseman let out a sigh and said amazing words,“The kind of man who frequently lowers his fleet command has no reason to be here at all.”

“What do you mean?”

“Everything has a private opinion of His Majesty.”

The old aged horseman was wearing an old uniform and has a fatigued eye and in the mix of insight, glanced across the stone wall.

“What? Is that true?”

Since he just joined the organisation, the young knight looked directly to the old aged horseman who is in fact his own teacher. The only reason for his birth was to become no more than a mere knight for this coming year. But if you have him at least the rank of baron, by now he would have been entrusted to the Knight’s status. The words which were superior in literary and military arts came off until now and the callous did not grind. Therefore, the young knight had always had deep respect for him and kept his words in his mind.

They were surprising words indeed, it must be true now that he said it.

“Are those people glaring at us?”

“They are probably playing around with us. It’s like His Majesty is being made fun of from the inside and outside. But, I’m having a second thought. Even though His Majesty has always been disrespected, he’s an individual who’s to be feared of. I have been serving to the royal family for 40 years and always lower my sword below the waist in His Majesty’s presence, I know him very well. I teach the battlefield with my two fingers. But even the King knows that a man such as me fears him.”

The young knight kept staring at the old man, and let out a deep sighed.

“Does that mean we have to be playing in their games?”

“Knights like that are like us. After all, this is no more than a comedian dancing in someone’s palm. But as for now, the mouth I spoke with, it is probably understood. Because this might fly to your neck, not only I, if these enter to the ears of His Majesty’s."

The young knight straightened his back and nodded.

Two people appeared in the place where the forest spreads luxuriantly on the left side. The forest of Teniyan. In the section of this forest which becomes the hunting ground of the royal family, the young horseman saw a shadow which wriggles swiftly.

“Who’s that?”

The young knight clangs the rope on his horse and rushed to catch up with the shadow. He cast a spell of light, which illuminates the dark area including the shadowy figure.

A man who wrapped the body in the black robe surfaced. The body just stood there motionless. The young knight pulled out his sword and ready to confront him.

“Take that hood off so I can see who you are!”

The man slowly removed his hood. Looking at the face that appeared before the knight, he was stunned.

“Lord ‘kasuterumoru’!”

The face under the hood was Batsuso Kasuterumoru leader of the East Rose Knight. He is not too old, and yet not too young. He is a responsible man who was led by famous knights. It was his bravery that made him famous, even the Flower Bed knights should know him.

He stares at the young knight with a hard expression.

The young knight was puzzled, and sheathed his sword.

"Why are you here? For the East Rose knight to be here, is to face the Saint Mallon fleet, isn't it?"

"Why not open, and we hope through this..."

He murmurs in the young knight's ear. He shook his head with a troubled look on his face. It is probably a life risking duty. But it is still a duty.

"It cannot be increased and is defeated in such reason. Because at these times, they are yours. You should know your curfew, no? Everything met in this area, we received orders to arrest any government position and status case. But, hey, just format. If people like you, it's fine you have to sign papers and appreciate the guard post. Well, here anyways..."

But Lord Kasuterumoru did not move.

"My Lord?"

That time, an old aged knight who watches over the development at the rear shouted. He became aware of something and tries to warn the young knight.

"Furandaru! Unsheathe your sword!"

The old aged knight pulled out his sword to ready to charge.

"Hey, what do you mean?" the young knight mumbles, the tide of the wind was flying from the rear of Kasuterumoru, it was simultaneous to be entwined to the body of the knight.

The young knight turned around and unsheathed his sword seeing that attack on his subordinate but felt something like mass of air sank to his stomach. With a harsh face Kasuterumoru made, he pulled out his sword from the young knight only enough to make him lose consciousness. Knights dressed in black robes began to show up one after another from the darkness.

"...Why?" As he murmured, the young knight lost consciousness.

Watching his men tie up the two fallen knight, Kasuterumoru sighed. Was it a mistake to be found out? But we were lucky enough to be able to enter without the other knights seeing us.

Kasuterumoru and the East Rose headed forward, despite the fact they had received the report on the fleet. Even though they are Elite Knights of the East Rose, they secretly made the report in such a way the imperial government did not believe anything at all. Immediately, offer of information was requested from the cooperators who lie hidden in every place, truth was being obtained in past noon.

Lies and rebellion.

Conspiracy of King Joseph.

King Joseph will be holding territorial ambitions against Romalia, conspiracy even to deceive the allies, the knights of the East Rose including Kasuterumoru are excited. This was a situation where they were pretending to be rebels and allies to invade its neighbors. If the plan fails to follow the Kingdom of Gallia will perish to the deepest grounds, its glorious past would vanish even beyond the darkness.

Two hours later, when the order came to retreat in the name of the Saint Mallon due to the surrounding knights, Kasuterumoru has finally decided something.

I will name the fleet's flagship 'Charles Orleans'. The name of the younger brother whom you killed by your hands. Would you think of atoning for your sins?

If this is the kind of imitation that makes one to stick onto the conspiracy, the fleet will not do.

Not only that, the king incompetence that is tailored to the actors trying to step up to their force.

Siege? Surrounding is what you say? But this depends on what? Perhaps their role will be a mere spectator. It is no more than, a portion of coloration in order to make the foreign country agree upon.

We cannot have patience anymore. When rising to action is now.......

Saint Maron way to the east | Roses "rose" Ryutisu Knights turned back to wait for the night. In advance of the night, four hours later was able to come back this way Ryutisu. Miti Miti was a cliff while flying a sudden facilities early in each regiment had been mounting for cooperation. Approached the deputy head of Arnulf in even more distant family, one's head over the ears. "Promised the cooperation of the three regiments, the moment arrived and reported. They arrive in the morning Ryutisu" A "reassuring" Kasuterumoru the first smiles of the day. Military aristocracy and the king disgusted by the current government is not small. But the story and if it really is a different cause. | Treason "Baasha" stigma of people who "anyone" also 着Takunai. Immediately according to rouse the three regiments still. My decision was not wrong. Joseph is to be given Kasuterumoru neck will soon draw to the rest of the guys. "After three days of the Customer to welcome Charlotte to the throne is Asobasa Torisutein asylum." Kasuterumoru the princess's face was remembered as a good slave for, shook his head. Remember the Duke of Orleans gentle face, my heart becomes hot. "... Your Majesty, when we do finally dispel your sorrow of Your Majesty. Highness was born into an aristocratic Watakushi poor, it is expected』 [kindly patronage of the Knights in a word. When you return the favor is that it is finally here. " Kasuterumoru head up and, at most, and stick "stick" as a. "Friends! Attention to the Knights gentlemen! Us than this, | who 纂奪" Sandatsu speak "to get back from the throne! Later, and they deserve to return to the personage! Fear! We are | rebel army" is I gun "abstracted! true Gallic knight flower is Gaul Volunteers!" We are proud of from the Knights. "Only a man sleeping across the stone walls, the enemy of God and founder of the country and" that thing "forms | treason" Baasha "is now! Gentlemen, followed us!" I cried Kasuterumoru, Casting "Fly" jumped over the stone wall on. Knights continued their backs one after another. Guard soldiers have been east of the bustling gathering | Roses "rose" We are blown away by the Knights of magic, and went rushing to have Joseph straight Grand Troyes.

Joseph is sitting on the throne, was listening to the music box. Hazy | void "Kokuu" gazing, slowly lift your arms, move your hands to play the conductor. Committee to investigate the founder himself smiling with an exhausted look intoxicated "It's Yu," that I, a gentleman 連Reta minister flew in to the throne room. "Your Majesty! Majesty! Is hard!

For example, "conspiracy" and was the royal capital 出払Tsu most troops and Knights. That gap, "like" was the betrayed. Despite the terrible pinch ..., Joseph ecstasy "La-La Land" and destroy the face. As part of the examination rather cry even though the minister had listened to the sound of the music box. "Your Majesty! Majesty! To underpass soon! Purchase a convoy guarded by" Matsu Tsuka "configure!" Finally noticed the threatening attitude so that I'll face Joseph. "What?" "This is treason! In which I mentioned many times do not!" "Oh. I see. By the way, was also a possibility that. I forgot." Joseph greater beings, "Unazu" and Ku, rising slowly. "In here!" Information minister shuts tried to say so, looking at the entrance between Joseph swarm ball Or. Beyond the entrance to the military takeover and Gentlemen "Baasha" weapon of the knights "in the drama speak" the boom. The horrible sound, one's legs minister, Hetaheta collapsed to the floor. "Ah, ah ... the end is the end ..." Sound and flying magic wand "stick" and stopped suddenly collide with each other scary noises. Slowly, even when the ball appeared at the entrance to among the winners, Joseph had stood still. "Oh, do not Kasuterumoru. What? Forces of the kid, should be ordered towards Saint Maron." Kasuterumoru did not answer the question of Joseph, he pulled out a cane. "Joseph King of Gaul current generation. And justice in the name of God and founder, You're nothing to arrest." "So. It's going to arrest more than what kind of crime? Judge of the King, I was serendipitous in Gaul there." "It's a betrayal to the homeland of many. You're nothing without the instruments of the king." Eastern crowd | Roses "rose" pouring into Knights during their balls, one after another army staff "Gunshou" will confront a Joseph. "Come Get your stick!" Then Joseph laughed out loud. "What's wrong!" "Well, [the instrument face of the king is not in the Guide, what was said is a truly first. Kasuterumoru, you do not have a pretty sights. Honestly, the only bow-inactive, but I thought it flattery Tamer " "A lick! Merely a play to deceive you!" "... Is really over, what is missing is that of men. As you say, in such instruments is not at all with the king. The truth is even notice the spirit of rebellion because of you. Here incompetence The 極Mareri! it. What the heck? " And Joseph, laughing out loud again. | Preposterous "amazed" Everyone was taken to | naught "Shirime", and Joseph turned back. "Where are you going?" "It's going to bed. No, it's time to sleep. If you talk, or make Kurenu tomorrow?" I really like that plan. Kasuterumoru the past the anger, 呆 "tired" has been. Perhaps the king is weak in the head really do be known. But 赦 "every" can not will not Su. "Keep Joseph custody." Some of the knights, trap "trap" and closer to Joseph but cautious. The rest of the knights even spell "Jumon" stick to Joseph chanting "stick" of courtiers. As Butler approached the deputy head of Arnulf, the Kasuterumoru whispered. "There may be a trap. You care." The Kasuterumoru beings "Unazu" was. Though there is surely a trap, no trap can stop the knights from the other 18 names. What use is magic, sleight of hand only, "they have" been surrounded by Knight, does not escape. Right now Joseph was captured by rabbit hunters. But when you put your hand on the arm of Joseph Knight ... strange thing happened. Quickly, raking in an instant the figure of Joseph "or" consumption come "come" and ours is. "What?" Kasuterumoru cry. The Knights shot a spell was a reflex. Throne, erected screen "screen", but was put behind the throne silk damask "Donsu" is a gorgeous carved mirror, they become tattered by the wind and the magic of fire. However, the figure of Joseph is not anywhere. Who "Who" or the chant quickly detect magic. If some of the hidden magic, you will find it soon ..., but the reaction between the magic ball is not anywhere. One of the knights, cried out from the window of a light face. "I'm there!" "What?" Kasuterumoru will pick a knight "is" removed it "in" only jumped on the window. "Hey, they're looking at what's wrong?" What on earth do the trick any thing, Joseph was standing next to the fountain in the courtyard. Knights pale. Experts in their magic is no reason for an instant Joseph was moved to the courtyard. It can do magic, only strains of the wind "ubiquitous" ubiquitous "" was, and disappeared out fine and so is impossible. And the square of the wind could not have handled the talent of Joseph was told there is no magic. Skylight windows overlooking the courtyard is small, it is impossible to get out there. Kasuterumoru ordered the urgent voice. "-About in the courtyard! Hurry! An escape him!" The Knights will rush off to. I received a cry, and laughed out loud Joseph courtyard. "I run and hide accidental! Relieve reiterating More than that, over the | Tonight" this good "was changing the bed. I ran it for themselves rather quickly. " "What?" Joseph spell "Jumon" began chanting.

Phil Yarunsagusa Eoru Sunu ...

Sequence of runes was never heard before. Also forget Kasuterumoru attack spells, they listened for a moment the spell.

Rado le Osusunu Uryu ...

Kasuterumoru felt a chill to the spine was. Surprising. My fear is that! Square yourself ... like, not derided magical talent, but fear that the king called King spell incompetence. Becomes cool! Kasuterumoru told herself. There's no spell to blow up from eighty knights. But powerful magic, that power is limited. Let alone have it in their palace. Themselves, and how to attack it from that garden? "The king of this incompetence! Get him to worry about yourself!" The cane Kasuterumoru "stick" raise my advocated spell. Giant ice spears and the gust "spear" is ready. Captured alive, the court wanted to get in front of citizens, this has been weak at best. Joseph 放Tou the moment and it slowly Joseph, holding the stick down I could see when you start playing like an orchestra conductor. Can bluff badges. King Me incompetence. ... You're nothing like a spell handle. A "?" The floor shook topple. Ice Spear 狙 during his swing because of the "sleep well lately," If it sticks on the ground away from Joseph. "Temple head!" Arnulf before the next cry. Kasuterumoru will turn his head there. Arnulf bodies are receding. Look, we might shift a large stone table. Kasuterumoru finally understood there. The entire palace, crumbling it. "Fool" fool "is! How on earth!" Spell "Jumon" There was not time to take aim. Kasuterumoru eyes looked up, I can see a huge stone roof had collapsed.

Troyes is a beautiful blue stone gran was assembled, Eastern | 薔夜 "The Rose" while swallowing their Knights, with the collapse of the Customer rumbling, Joseph stared laughing out loud. Stress not only in the uprising, and the servants and ministers, even though the gentleman was friendly, Joseph continued to laugh. Of dust whirled up a large area becomes suddenly quiet. "This" | explosion "explosion" "Do. A useful spell it. This power was only blow up the seams of the castle. In such use, and I hear that you can have fun." Joseph is a hand, "the founder of the Music Box," grumbled looking at. Then from the pocket, "founder censer" removed. Gently caress and has the aroma drifting from the inside. "But," exploded "However much it, the first of my" empty "the impossible really is wonderful." Recall the first rush of knights in the courtyard when I saw him standing, even Joseph smiled. Futameki hurry while there has been a survivor of the knights of the guard ran. "Your Majesty!'re All right in it!" To turn around there without more, Joseph had ordered. "And raise people. Debris" debris "from the rebels" and soldering "dragging the body of our soup, hanging on every road Ryutisu gate," one "Ru them. Us blindly is stupid morning came, will realize the folly against more than to see it. " Joseph Knight was staring in the face when I saw the devil at the bottom of hell, and kowtow to it. "... It, ha ha!" Comply with the order, the knights intend to run outside. "Wait." Was stopped, as if the knight upright lightning struck. With a yawn, told Joseph Knight back. "Give me before bed. Damn it anywhere. No, I'm sleepy Tamaranu"
