397 Chapter 396 (1/2)
”The first thing registered is the actions of our late emperor, the prince, and Your Majesty Yuki actions,” Ryoko said. ”After fighting for a month to clean the area around Tokyo of monsters, we recovered the city and started to rebuild our capital. Eighteen months later, some spies stole water dragon scales from us... the prince tried to stop them and died in combat.”
”I already know that,” Leon said.
”... I think this is late Emperor's handwriting... it is written here that six months later, the Emperor heard about an American had arrived and started to work with one of his advisors... his name was Leon, and the advisor was Ren,” Ryoko frowned.
”That did really happen?” Ren frowned. ”I don't remember that...”
”What do you remember about Makoto?” Leon asked.
”Our Emperor was a good man who would fight on the frontlines to protect his people,” Ren answered. ”He was very honest and capable.”
”What else?” Leon asked. ”How old was he when he died? What were the powers of his sword?”
”... I forgot.” Ren looked away.
”It is obvious that we can't trust your memories,” Leon said. ”You may continue.”
”... The man called Leon worked together with Ren, and then he cleared five dungeons in order to obtain His Majesty cooperation.” Ryoko said. ”A few months later, Leon returned and brought the people that cause the prince's death.”
”I thought father disappeared one day and then suddenly returned after finding the killers himself,” Yuki frowned. ”Someone must have faked these documents...”
”It is said here that Leon and his friends protected a city called Las Vegas from demons... a very dangerous race of monsters,” Ryoko said. ”This is the last register that was made with His Majesty handwriting... I remember now... this book was His Majesty diary, and I decided to use it as the first register when it was decided that I would work here, organizing documents.”
”When that happened?” Leon asked.
”I think we found these twenty years after the death of His Majesty,” Ryoko answered.
”Twenty years... I guess the things that happened before I disappeared aren't written here,” Leon starts to bit his nails.
”... No, it is here... I registered that His Majesty and Leon disappeared and then je returned several weeks later with princess Yuki,” Ryoko frowned. ”She had been kidnapped by someone... one of his Majesty advisors.”
”I can't imagine Your Majesty getting kidnapped either.” Ren nodded.
