TYND 9
TL: Motokare It was then that Chungnip realised they’d spoken too freely in the child’s presence. Just because Rothy always sat there quietly, as still as a porcelain doll, didn’t make him one. Yet, without intending it, they’d treated him as though he were. Rothy fidgeted, his small hands attempting to form fists, but lacking the strength, he could only manage a faint, anxious wringing. In a low, measured tone, Theon asked. “You know about PLEIN?” “Yes, Master... hated them... He…-

TL: Motokare This is why people look down on mages. Northerners scorned mages for chanting spells from the safety of the rear while knights got blood on their hands from thrusting their swords into fiends. Rivahn had hoped Lord Rothy would break down those prejudices, but now it seemed he'd only reinforced them. His Grace should’ve stopped him. Rumour had it Lord Rothy was physically frail. The Archduke must’ve been unable to refuse, given how he doted on him. Rivahn was…-

TL: Motokare The odd conversation between the two sixteen-year-old boys made Ultje, Zey, and the others quietly turn their heads, stifling laughter. “Aeruhen, come over here.” “Yes, Your Grace.” Aeruhen schooled his expression and approached at Theon’s summon. He then personally straightened Aeruhen’s shirt collar. “You’re not to exceed three kills today.” “Yes.” “Watch how things go. And the day after tomorrow you need to bag the most game among your…-

TL: Motokare “I greet you, Lord Rothy.” “We pay our respects to you, Lord Rothy.” The nobles who’d been with Theon bowed politely. Rothy, now dressed in formal attire befitting his identity as the archduke’s spouse, returned their greetings with practiced courtesy. “I hope everyone enjoys the hunt and makes many good memories.” “Yes, Lord Rothy.” Smiles spread across the nobles’ faces, the kind of fond expression one might give watching a kitten trying to act…-

TL: Motokare “Theon... they say so many animals die a meaningless death during the hunting tournament... It’s really sad... I heard weasels are especially popular targets. After this festival, lots of Chi-chi’s friends will be gone, won’t they...? It’s too terrible...” On the night they’d gone to see Elsie Falls, Rothy quietly planted the idea. “But if it’s the act of hunting that’s important, I’ve a good idea. What if we make wooden dolls of the animals that can move like…-

TL: Motokare “It wouldn’t be right for the temple to keep something bestowed for Your Grace’s sake. While Your Grace has kindly offered to transfer the ownership, the temple can’t accept it. This sacred relic will forever remain yours.” Theon snapped out of his daze and replied. “I understand.” “We’ll guard it carefully for three years, then return it once we’ve dealt with the ‘Archduke’. “No, I’ll be keeping this watch. The temple should focus on…-

TYND 80
“The problem now is identifying the catalyst for the artefact. Since it doesn't react to aura, magic, or divine power, it might be blood.” Most Tremuhle had catalysts that were either aura, magic, or divine power, making it easy to determine their activation method, but occasionally there were items like this where the catalyst was difficult to identify. Such items would exist as antiques for years until their catalyst was discovered by pure chance, causing their value to skyrocket. In the past,…-

TL: Motokare Theon simply gave Ultje a blank, almost apathetic look when he let out a sigh of frustration. “Didn’t you say he’s easier to look after than me?” “He listens perfectly well, except when pestered about magic stones and Lord Yolone. But given Your Grace’s sheer size and intimidating look, I reckon the child’s terrified to sit here with you.” “He shouldn’t have been allowed to eat in bed to begin with. Bad habits take root fast.” “You’re…-

“Why not? Don’t you feel wronged?” “If my existence becomes known, people will realise that living magic stones can really be created artificially, and someone will definitely try to copy it... Then more innocent children will suffer... That would feel like a real injustice to me.” “......” “This time too, I was so scared and felt so wronged. If any of the children had been hurt or killed because of me—even though it's not really my fault—it's still because of my existence...…-

“When I heard you were planning to kidnap me and also those children for the purpose of living magic stone experiments, I was terribly crushed... but it was actually a fallen’s doing. That thing was really evil. I’m sorry I didn’t believe in you more. In the first place, you weren’t someone who’d do such things...” Ken Bane looked uncomfortable. “You speak as if you know me.” “Rothy was on the battlefield too. He’d fought alongside us.” “What? How— Ah...…-
