“Damn it, we’re late! Why did you have to eat so much?”
“Errm… I’m sorry.”
Two members of the Sakiel Knights rushed to the auction house late at night.
They, too, were originally supposed to participate in the auction, but they were late because they were distracted by their meal.
“Big Bro. What if the auction is already over? We will definitely be punished by the captain…”
“D…don’t talk nonsense and just run! If you don’t want to blow away even the remaining possibilities!”
The two Sakiels reached the auction venue with such anxiety in their hearts. Maybe there was already a bl*odbath ongoing, but they didn’t care.
Although they were the lowest level members, they were, in the end, a part of Sakiel Knights. To them, wielding a sword and causing chaos was a familiar thing. If they were lucky, there was a possibility that they would be able to acquire the auction items they couldn’t get their hands on in the usual way.
However, the two Sakiel Knights had no choice but to stop their footsteps…
“Wha…what the…”
“This…this…what the hell…”
What they saw next was a scene beyond their imagination.
The Sakiels were preparing for a fierce battle as soon as the auction ended. They numbered in the hundreds, and all of them were fully armed.
But…at the moment, the scene they saw was…
Those numerous Sakiel Knights were spread out on the floor as cold cor*pses!
The bloody, terrifying scene shook the two to their very core. However, that wasn’t simply because of the battle between the Sakiels.
Aside from the other facts…there was a huge flag planted in the middle of this terrible sea of blood, as if to let the people know who caused this tragedy.
“Tha…that…is obviously…”
“No…there’s no way…”
It was a red flag depicting a roaring dragon.
That flag with the seal on it meant only one thing.
A shocking and unequivocal declaration of war against the Sakiel Knights!
The two surviving Sakiel Knights hurriedly reported this fact to their superiors, and it didn’t take long for the news to spread throughout the continent.
And…
***
Vienna, the capital of the Holy Empire.
Bahamut, who had finished processing amount earned from the auction, was standing in front of a carriage.
“Be careful on the way, alright!”
“I will. You should also be careful and take care of your health.”
Looking at Bertina, Bahamut smiled a bit regretfully.
Regarding their parting, Bertina felt the urge to hold him in her embrace once more. However, she knew that as the owner of the Beden Merchant Company, Bahamut also has work to do. So, there was no way she could ask him to stay with her any longer. What’s more, it would be even more unlikely considering the current situation they were in.
“Then I’ll be seeing you again very soon, alright?”
With that, Bahamut’s carriage started to depart.
Seeing Bertina parting with the man she loved so much, Tilda cautiously asked, “My Lady, aren’t you sad? Sending him off like this again…”
“Yes…I’d be lying if I didn’t. But it’s okay. Because it won’t be long before we’ll be together again.”
“Yes?”
Regarding Bertina’s incomprehensible words, Tilda expressed her doubts, and Bertina smiled while looking at her trusted aid.
“Well then…shall we get to work? There must be a lot of work piled up while we were dealing with the Eastern Trade.”
“Ah yes! I understand, Lady Bertina.”
At her mistress’s words, Tilda put aside her doubts and followed her into the building.

“So, a things like that happened?”
“Yes, it did. Rumors have already spread all over Schwyz.”
In front of Isolda, who calmly listened to the story, Yuria spoke with an excited voice. From her point of view as a low-level secretary at the Beden Merchant Company, the things accomplished by Bahamut seemed like an amazing myth.
“I see…Master Bahamut seems to be a really great person, right?”
“Well…that much should be natural considering that Bahamut and Lady Bertina had united their strength. It’s not particularly surprising.”
On the surface, Isolda might seem like she wasn’t feeling anything, but…
