Chapter 269
Serena's POV
"Serena-sama, please command anything to this Edgar! I will do anything!"
"Serena-sama, what is going on here?"
"Why is Hero Edgar kneeling?"
"Oh? What happened?"
Well, it's quite surprising... a sudden change of heart.
I doubted if there was some hidden agenda, but it seems he genuinely means it.
He is speaking from the heart.
This is troublesome... well, for now...
"Uncle Edgar, these three are my fiancées, so don't lay a finger on them!"
"Hahaha, why would I ever lay a hand on Serena-sama's fiancées? They are the ones who will become my Lord's wives, the ones I should serve."
"I... see..."
"""???"""
He seems like an entirely different person.
I asked about the 'Hero Clan' as well and his answer is...
"Isn't it ridiculous to call themselves a Hero? Especially when there is Serena-sama, the true 'Hero,' present... Besides, even if they claim to have Zect's bloodline, how many generations have passed? And it doesn't matter for a Hero... That's just foolishness! Roland and Martin are just fools."
Is it really necessary to say all that...? But since it's all true... sigh~
"Yes, I suppose..."
I no longer know what to say.
Since it doesn't seem like he is directly involved in the persecution of my fiancées, I decided to leave it be.
"Oh my, this is amazing... after calling me a villainess and a wicked woman for so long... and now he's calling me Fleur-sama."
"He's also calling me Elsa-sama, it's really embarrassing."
"Being called Rosalia-sama feels weird too."
"Well, since he seems sincere, let's just leave him be."
"""Yes, that's true (that's right) (I agree)."""
However, what should I do?
Surely, not all the other members of the Hero Clan are like Edgar.
By the way, I call him Edgar because he likes it.
* * *"Serena-sama, could you show me your Wings of Light... those beautiful wings of light?"
"Well, it doesn't really matter, does it?"
It's not like they will diminish... and since I've shown him once before, it's fine.
Recently, I've been frequently showcasing my Wings of Light at Edgar's request.
"This is the secret technique only usable by the Hero... the Wings of Light!"
Actually, this catchphrase isn't really necessary.
But since Zect-oniichan used to say it, I'm just imitating him.
"They are always wonderful to see... every time I see them, I feel my own arrogance."
He says this and always bursts into tears.
Edgar's appearance bears a slight resemblance to Zect-oniichan.
Well, since he doesn't seem to be doing anything bad to us... I guess it's fine.
* * *Edgar's POV
"Pope Romalis... as you said, Serena-sama is undoubtedly the true Hero! He is the one we've longed to meet."
"Edgar, thank you for informing us! Those Wings of Light can only be used by a 'Hero,' and moreover, they were favored by Zect-sama! I never thought I would be able to see them. I thought I was born under a sad fate where I couldn't meet the Hero-sama... That's why I showed favoritism to those with Zect-sama's bloodline! But now, he was born... the 'True Hero' in this era."
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it! Furthermore, Serena-sama can even use the 'Perfect Heal,' which only the chosen existences among the Saint can use."
"Marvelous! That is the existence we truly serve! Edgar, now that the real one has appeared, we will revoke the privileges of the Hero Clan."
"Of course! I may not know about others, but I, too, am an absolutist when it comes to the Hero. Now that I've met the real one, I understand! As for the matter at hand..."
"Naturally! The Kingdom of Kohane is the land bestowed upon Hero Ceres-sama to make him stay comfortable... and when he ascended to the heavens, it was passed on to his close friend, Hero Zect-sama. It's called the 'Country of Heroes'! Even if they have Zect-sama's blood, it's a country that should be returned once the 'True Hero' appears! The Holy Nation of Gandhar will assist in reclaiming it... If any disputes arise, please let us know anytime! We won't shy away from war."
"Thank you very much."
I have finally found the true existence to serve.
For the sake of my master, 'Kohane' will be...
Edgar's rampage is about to begin.
