Overgeared

The pillars supporting the country. The empire was eternal and the people would be at ease.

This was a verse of a song that was once popular throughout the empire. Great Swordsman Piaro and Splendid Swordsman Asmophel. The people of the empire gained great courage and hope when they listened to the song that praised the two heroes of the empire.

It was the same for the young Mercedes. She had dreams of becoming a knight and was raised humming the heroes’ song. Mercedes overcame every hardship and trials in the hope that she could someday wear the same red armour as the two heroes. For her, the tragedy of 12 years ago was a huge shock.

“Piaro!”

“...?!”

The name buried deep in her chest. The moment when the name of the sinner flowed from Grid’s mouth.

Flash!

The pillar of light fell and a man appeared inside. He was a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothing and covered in dirt and sweat. He wore a straw hat on his head and he was holding a sickle and hand plow with hands covered in calluses. He looked like a farmer, but Mercedes wasn’t deceived by the appearance. Despite the 12 years of misunderstanding, she recognized his identity with one glance.

“Piaro...!”

Great Swordsman, Hero, Pillar, Emperor’s Sword, Head Teacher, Captain...

They were all the titles that Mercedes once used for Piaro in the past. Now the best courtesy she could give Piaro was to not speak the stigma of ‘traitor.’ Piaro defended Grid from her sword and made a bittersweet expression.

"That keen-eyed girl is now a beautiful knight.”

No regrets could be found in Piaro’s eyes as he recalled the past. This made Mercedes’ beautiful face distort.

“You...!”

Why didn’t he miss the past? How could he be so dignified? Why was he standing on the side of the Overgeared King? It couldn’t be.

“Your Majesty, are you safe?”

“Thanks to you.”

"I am here to serve.”

“Don’t tell me...”

The empire in Piaro’s heart. It had completely disappeared?

“Ick...!”

Mercedes eyes became red without her knowing. There was a sense of struggle as she tried to hold back her tears.

“I...!”

“...”

"Do you know how much I have been looking for you in the past 12 years?”

It was hard to bear. In the end, Mercedes’ tears emerged. It was because she realized that she was only an ‘enemy’ to Piaro as she watched Piaro hiding Grid behind his back.

"Every day... I was waiting every day. For the day when you would suddenly appear, telling me that the betrayal was a false accusation.”

“...”

"But look at you now? My captain... Where did my captain go?!!!”
