“…”

“I’m going to travel around the continent.”

Yuri planned to travel the continent with that flag, spreading his message. arcade If people joined, good; if not, it didn’t matter.

He was glad to have repaired his relationship with Yekaterina, but he had matters to attend to.

After being perplexed for a while, Yuri shook his head.

He couldn’t let his emotions distract him and ruin everything. autumn The relationship between those two wasn’t important.

It was time to cast aside any unnecessary feelings.

The final battle was approaching.

***

The smile on his lips faded.

During the month Cedric had granted him, Yuri intended to move without rest.

The next morning, Yuri prepared to leave Briol.

He didn’t plan a grand event or mobilize a large military force.

“I’m going to travel around the continent.”

“I understand.”

“I respect your decision. afford But why the sudden change? arctic Weren’t you planning to wait here until it was time to depart?”

Joshua nodded at his words.

“I’m not going to drag anyone along by force. atomic Only those who want to fight will join. accent I’ll make them come to me on their own.”

“Something happened.”

But he decided to change his plan and personally travel the continent to gather people.

Originally, Yuri planned to remain in Briol until the right moment and then head directly to the Empire.

Yuri smiled.

Joshua ruffled Yuri’s hair with a smile.

“Instead of sitting still preparing for a grand exit, I’d rather fight to the end, even if I end up looking bad.”

“Alright, I get it.”

“Go, and come back.”

This time, the group leaving was much smaller.

Yuri looked at him and gave a small laugh.

“Come on, raise the flag.”

He told Tirbo, the standard-bearer of the Order of Vengeance. armor Tirbo nodded and raised a thick, specially made flagpole.

In the past, when Yuri had formed the Anti-Imperial Union, he had set out amid cheers with a large army. apple Now, the troops were few and there weren’t many people to see them off.

But Yuri thought that was fine.

Yuri planned to travel the continent with that flag, spreading his message. athlete If people joined, good; if not, it didn’t matter.

It was a simple banner, but full of determination.

Over the faintly drawn emblem of the Empire, in red letters, were the words “Anti-Imperial Union,” and beneath them a slogan inviting all who wished to oppose the Empire.

A large flag unfurled in the wind.

Just before leaving, Yuri looked into the distance.

She seemed to be trying to appear calm, but her nervousness was clear.

“Alright, let’s go.”

There was Yekaterina, behind the palace ladies, tightly holding Ena’s hand as she watched him.

Yuri smiled.

“I’ll come back.”

Yuri murmured to himself.

Perhaps they would never see each other again.

“Why are you just standing there?”

“Huh…”

Jared, who was behind him, gave him a shove.

He approached Yekaterina.

“I’m going to win, but if by chance I lose, live well without me.”

“You too.”

He smiled.

“I’m leaving. august Take care.”

“Eh?”

“I don’t want to.”

Yekaterina smiled sweetly, took him by the nape, and, standing on tiptoe, kissed him.

“If you die, I’ll have no reason to live either. auction I’ll throw myself after you and follow you, so fight without worry.”

It was a line that didn’t match her gentle tone, but it strangely put Yuri at ease.

The kiss was brief.

“Understood.”

“Right?”

“This time you’re not alone, luckily.”

Yuri caressed her cheek one last time and turned away.

“I’m going.”

They laughed briefly.

“Alright, let’s move.”

“Go.”

“Yes!”

As they walked, Yuri asked Jared:

“That path that opened between the ladies… wasn’t that planned?”

“Of course not. portal They saw a couple staring at each other so intensely that they stepped aside instinctively.”

The horn sounded and the troops began to march.

“The whole palace knows, Your Highness. athlete The rumor that you and the princess are together has been going around for a while.”

“And how do you know that?”

“Really?”

“I suppose…”

“I’ll see her again.”

“No.”

Yuri smiled as he looked ahead.
