Noblesse (NOBLESSE -ノブレス-)

Raskreia-sama,

what shall we do for this evening's conference?

If you are too tired, shall we move it to tomorrow?

This evening is fine.

Hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions is part of my job.

Raizel-sama...

Ah...

The lord must have summoned him again.

I see...

Lord

Seira J. Loyard.

I have come in accordance with the lord's order.

Seira.

It was reported that you encountered

a suspected noble while mingling with humans,

but now I hear this report was mistaken?

Where is Gejutel-sama?

In a prison cell, under suspicion of presenting a false report.

Now, you will tell me whether or not it is true.

I cannot say.

Very well. I will pose the question directly to your heart.

Did you meet the man who was inside the coffin?

It would be in your best interest to answer.

Seira!

Seira is innocent!

I didn't meet any nobles, either!

The only ones I met were some modified humans and a creepy blond guy!

What?

I don't know who he was,

but he was far too powerful to be a mere human!

Seira and Regis seemed to have some sort of connection to him!

Lord! Seira cannot endure any more!

Seira!

Regardless of who the offender is,

defying my orders and refusing to answer my questions are serious crimes.

Karias, put Seira in a cell.

As you wish.

Rajak, you will interrogate Gejutel about what we have just discussed.

Yes, Lord.

I am not as soft as my father.

I will preserve order in Lukedonia.

Are you worried about Seira and Gejutel?

Obviously.

What good does it do to fret over it so?

That's easy for you to say.

Are you sure it was a good idea to leave them behind?

If the Union makes any moves while we're away...

No need for concern. I've taken measures.

Is this... D?

No.

It's T2, a drug I made specifically for you three that will boost your powers.

T2?

Why are you giving this to us now?

Master and I must leave here for a while,

so it's a bit of insurance, just in case.

Leaving? You don't mean because of Seira, do you?

Are you sure we shouldn't go with you?

I'm sure. You don't need to worry about a thing.

Well, it should be just about time...

What is this?!

It appears we've entered Lukedonian airspace.

We'll be descending soon.

Master, please prepare.

Descending? Is there a runway around here?

No. We're barging in.

For crying out loud... What is going on?

Two clan leaders thrown in prison? It's unprecedented.

The lord seemed convinced that Gejutel-sama and Seira had met the traitor.

And on top of that, they're concealing the truth.

Does this mean they've taken the enemy's side?

Don't be dumb.

Gejutel-sama would never betray the lord.

But that goes for Seira, too.

She was forced to do something so reckless because

she reveres the lord and Gejutel-sama so much.

Rajak, what did Gejutel-sama say?

I suppose that makes sense.

What is the lord doing now?

She is in her chamber.

She sent me away, saying she wanted to focus on her duties.

It is worrisome.

Even if she is the lord, there's no way this hasn't deeply disturbed her.

She has always trusted Gejutel-sama, after all.

That's true.

Enter.

Reporting.

A jet craft believed to have come from the human world

has crashed in the sea just off Lukedonia's coast.

Who was on board?

That has not been verified.

Only the wreckage of the craft has been found.

Understood.

We will head there at once. Assemble the knights.

Yes, sir.

A crash at a time like this?

It's been one issue after another...

We shall send the Central Order of Knights there first.

Once we learn more, we will report to the lord.

I certainly hadn't planned on jumping out of the plane.

I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it so much.

Wait!

This isn't good. Beyond here is the Forbidden Region.

Forbidden Region?

Yes. I've heard that entering it was forbidden by the previous lord.

The lord?

The Central Order of Knights most likely patrol this area, too.

If they find us, they won't show mercy.

We should turn ba—

Hey!

That's...

Welcome home, Master.

What is that in the air?

Regis, you stay right here.

A-All right.

What is this intense aura?

That's...

The sword known as the end of the world itself...

The lord's soul weapon, Ragnarok!

What a troublesome thing to have left behind.

We will follow these footprints in pursuit of the intruders.

You two, report to Ludis-sama.

Yes, sir!

Looks like I have no choice.

Sorry...

Over here! Hurry!

But I can't let you get in the way!

Regis-sama?!

It can't be!

Why would you do this?

Please stop!

Against this many, it'll be tough restraining myself enough to keep from killing them all.

Gunfire?!

Woo-hoo! Good timing!

Who's there?!

That's a good question!

We are RK4, knights in service to a certain someone.

We'll introduce ourselves!

Number 4!

Number 2!

And last but not least...

Number 1 is here.

You guys... Why?!

We came to help ya,

Number 3.

Why are they here? What is the meaning of this?

Well...

They say they were hidden away in the plane.

Man, when it went down, I was sure we were gonna die!

I'm so glad we managed to find you!

We already received our pay for this month...

So we need to do our jobs.

Of all the reckless...

I see no problem. We do have several unused rooms.

Gejutel and Seira are in serious trouble right now.

This is most likely because they tried to protect me.

Protect you?
