"What? Is that Allen? What the hell is this!?"

"Duke, please, I need a doctor as soon as possible, a doctor who is very good at his profession. Then prepare a bed where Anna can safely rest."

I suddenly tell the matter without greeting him. I know in my head that this is rude, but I want to get Anna to the doctor as soon as possible.

"A doctor? For Anna? No, wait! Where's Anna?"

"Over here. Please! Quickly! I beg you!"

I plead with the Duke while pointing to Anna sleeping on the Buitor Rev.

"Anna! …… Understood. Hey, hurry up and get the carriage ready."

"You don't need to. I'll carry her straight to the yard of the Duke's mansion. So I need a bed and a doctor!"

"Eh, okay, Understood. I won't say another word. Hey, you heard the man. Get ready. You, too, Allen. My house is the biggest building in the center of town. You'll understand if you go"

"Okay! Thank you very much."

I took off the Buitor Rev. and flew directly over the capital, then landed in the yard of the Duke's mansion with the help of lissa and Jero.

"Hi~ee, dra-dragon"

"Uwa ~a~a~a~a~a~a~a!"

The servants were surprised to see lissa-chan and Jero-kun, whereas the guards were trembling and readying their swords and spears.

"Ga o~tsu♪"

When lissa opened her mouth and funnily threatened them, so of the servants fainted, and so of them beca incontinent.

"lissa, don't tease them much……"

"Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't want to do anything, but when she reacted like that, I just couldn't restrain myself."

I stand up and hold Anna to my side. The arrow wound hurts like a hell and feels like it's burning.

But that doesn't matter.

I hugged Anna to my side and yelled loudly.

"We have rescued Lady Anastasia from the Empire! I've already inford the Duke, who won in the battle, about her! A physician will be here shortly, so prepare a place for her to rest quickly!"

"What's all the fuss …… my, my Lady! What is with that look of her!"

Hearing the commotion, a dignified maid ca out from inside the building.

She was rapt when she saw lissa-chan and Jero-kun, but the next mont she noticed Anna in my arms and rushed over to .

But she quickly frowns.

Anna's outfit may be part of it, but probably both Anna and I sll terrible.

"I need a place where she can rest quickly!"

"I-I get it! I don't know who you are, but I appreciate it. This way, please."

I was led into the building with Anna in my arms and laid her down on a large soft bed in a very luxurious lady's room.

Was it my imagination, or did Anna's expression seem to waver a little at that mont?

"Allen-sama, I presu. I will change the dress of my lady. So, we will prepare a room, so can you wait there?"

"……Yes"

I replied and was led by another young maid to the room across the hall. It was a large room with modest furnishings and a relaxed atmosphere.

"Sir, please use this room. Also, your military uniform is very dirty. So I will prepare a change of clothes for you. Please wait a mont."

"……Yes"

Then the maid went out and soon ca back with a change of clothes. Apparently, the clothes prepared were the military uniforms of the Duke of Ramslett's army, and they had brought several sizes.

"I will help you."

"Eh? Oh no"

"No, this is the work of a maid. Also, you're injured, aren't you? I can take care of it if it's sothing simple."

When I was told that, I was half-heartedly pushed to take care of the arrow wound and help change my clothes.

"And thank you, Allen-sama, for rescuing my lady. If you'll excuse ."

After saying that, the maid left my room.

To be honest, I'm pretty sleepy from staying up all night yesterday. But my arrow wound is burning, and I feel like I'm being forcibly woken up.

Besides, I'm still worried about Anna.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I slipped out of the room and headed for Anna's room.

Just then, the maids ca out in a row. It seed that they had finished changing her clothes.

I knock and then try to go inside, but the maid stops .

"My lady is resting now. Please refrain."

"Huh?"

I was indignant for a mont when I was stopped, but after thinking about it, it was only natural for a maid.

However, I can't help but worry. I knew it was selfish of , but I insisted.

"Um, I'm worried about her. So, I'd like to see her face……"

"My lady is asleep. I will call you again when she wakes up, so please refrain from doing so."

No, that's why I'm worried about her.

As I was pondering what to do, I heard the Duke's voice from behind .

"It's fine. I also need Allen. Co with ."

"Yes"

"Understood"

The maid withdrew without a word, and the Duke ca in with Elisabeth and an old man in a white coat who appeared to be a doctor.

Then we enter the room where Anna is resting. She is sleeping peacefully with her eyelids closed, her body cleansed and her hair arranged.

I was relieved that she was sleeping peacefully, but at the sa ti, I was worried that she might not wake up again.

The Duke ca up to and started talking to , who was feeling like that.

"Now, Allen. Can you tell what's going on?"

"Yes. There are so deep military and political issues that I would like to discuss. Is it okay to talk here?"

I glance at the doctor and check with the Duke.

"It's fine. He is also a servant of my dukedom. He's not the kind of fool who falls prey to selfishness."

"I understand. The first thing you need to know is that the main culprits who kidnapped Anna……stasia-sama are the crown prince of the Est Empire and a magician who seems to be close to him."

The mont he hears this, the Duke's face suddenly turns grim, and the doctor is also upset.

"Also, the Crown Prince and that man said that they would break Anastasia-sama's heart and let the magic sword rule her. From what I've overheard, it seems that they locked her up alone in the dark, told her lies that we're not alive, weakened her mind, and then gave her the demon sword when her mind was weak."

"What's this magic sword?"

"I don't know. But this is the sword that Anastasia-sama was holding when I rescued her. Perhaps it affects the spirit of the person who holds it, so I brought it with like this."

I placed the magic sword, which I was carrying around my waist wrapped in a kind of scabbard made from the walls of the prison, on the floor and showed it to him.

Incidentally, I hadn't thought of appraising the sword in the Empire, and I couldn't appraise it in this state when I couldn't see it completely.

The details of this magical sword remains a mystery.

"So that's the magic sword….."

"I can take it out now, but what do you want to do?"

"No, let's not do that. I'll not be able to handle it if sothing happens."

I nodded at the duke's decision and resud my explanation.

"I understand. Let return to the story. I followed the two of them to the prison where Lady Anastasia was confined. And when the man who was not the crown prince used so kind of magic and started to tornt Anastasia-sama even more, I couldn't resist intervening, so I killed them and rescued her. Then, with the help of my friends, the Sky Dragon couple, I escaped the Imperial Capital and flew through the night to get here!"

When I tell him that much at once, the Duke is holding his head in his hands.

"W-Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say Imperial Capital? And you killed the Crown Prince? You ca all the way here from the Imperial Capital in one night? Moreover, those Sky Dragons are husband and wife, and that they're your friend, is it?"

The Duke huffed and sighed loudly.

"You are not saying things just off the top of your head, right?"

"Yes. It was those two sky dragons that found Anastasia-sama. I've also brought back the heads of the crown prince and the other man in a magic bag."

When the Duke heard this, he looked up to the heavens.

"Well, that's all I know about the situation. Oh, and I watched over her the whole ti she was flying, but Anastasia-sama stayed asleep and, well, she didn't wake up."

"Okay, I understand. Hey … can you cure her?"

The duke looked at the old doctor with an expression of clinging to hope despite his tone, but he shook his head.

"I'm sorry. As long as there is a magic sword involved, there is nothing a doctor can do about it. The only thing we can do is to put our trust in the rcy of God. Also, if there is anyone who can heal the mind of a person, it is probably the Wise Sage. But that person is already……"

"I see……"

I see. There must have been a great person in the past. But it can't be helped…..he is deceased.

"Loringus sensei….."

I was surprised at Elisabeth-san's muttering.

"Lorin…..gus? Then! Duke! I'll take Anna now!"

As I said this, things in front of my eyes wavered.

The arrow wound hurt as if it had been burned by flas, and then my heart suddenly started palpitating.

Huh? What…..is this?

Breathing….not well….

"Allen!" "Allen-kun?" "You!"

In my distant consciousness, I thought I heard soone calling my na.
