Chapter 5 : The News

ALISTAIR REDFORD'S SIDE :

Now I understand why except for the King the three noble house leaders Colton Roussel, Aldred Mortain, and me here. And even Dan is here too.

The King continued, "As you already know, about a year ago the Life Stone of dark sword Nightmare stopped glowing. And in a few seconds, it started glowing again but not for long.

So we presumed that Sir Tristan Siyera must have died. "

"When he left the capital he didn't let us know the place he was going to, so we tried to come up with something to know the whereabouts of the corresponding weapon from its Life Stone."

Everyone was a bit surprised, so they were listening quietly. But Sir Colton interrupted, "Your Highness, forgive me for the interruption, but wasn't Sir Aldred researching on that matter?"

The King answered,

"Yes, and the research was successful. We confirmed it with the other four stones. But there weren't any results with the one belong to Nightmare as we thought would happen anyway."

"But yesterday night that one flickered for a few minutes, and so we have the idea of the possible place where it can be. We don't have the exact location though. " He stopped.

Then he looked at me and said, " Sir Alistair, last night you were near that place. It was on your way from the northern border, a forest named 'Little Weed'. "

He continued,

"I know, it's a very very weird name, but that's what we have. So I guess it may be done by his son. But I still don't understand why it wasn't glowing continuously. "

" So I have sent someone to investigate, and we'll know more about it.

Now, if anyone wants to share any thoughts! "

I was thinking about a possibility of the reason why the stone didn't glow. I think I understand why. And I shouldn't just keep it to myself.

So I Said, "Your Majesty, may I share my thoughts on the flickering of Life Stone ? "

" Yes, Sir Alistair. "

" After the war ended Sir Tristan left, saying that he is not needed anymore and wants to live a quiet life. And then we lost any contact with him.

But we also lost connection with another person, his battle companion witch. Her name was Iliana Di Raya.

If he got married to that woman, then it's a big possibility that she was suppressing the dark mana of Nightmare, which led to the stone flickering. "

Then the king said, " Well, that could happen. Anyway, when the report comes we will have another meeting. So until then, we can just wait. "

After that, the king left. And all four of us left for our way to one's own home too.

All my way home I was thinking about Tristan and that witch Iliana. It's already lunchtime.

Dan said he wants to pick his son up from the training ground.

When he entered, I was looking from the small window of the carriage. Dan, his son, and the child from that day came out together.

Suddenly it struck me. "On my way", in front of a "forest", "a child", "five years old", with "red hair", just like Tristan but "curly", just like that witch woman.

This child....... is the owner of "The Nightmare".
