Chapter 25. Epilogue & Prologue
“Father.”
“What is it, my son?”
“If I am to go to Henry County, does that not mean I must leave the Baster territory?”
“That is correct.”
Zeppelin took out a contract.

“I signed a contract like this with the Lord of Baster. Is it truly all right?”
“Let me see…”

Count Henry Lloyd frowned, as if the letters were difficult to make out.
The blurry text gradually came into focus.
He read through the contract.
“Ah, if it is this contract, then do not worry. Everything has already been discussed with the Lord of Baster.”
W еbn̆ö v̀ è l E n̆ u m̊ а̇
“…Pardon?”
The penalty fee was enormous, yet everything had already been settled?
‘Is the House of Henry that wealthy?’
Zeppelin looked at his adoptive father.

Count Henry Lloyd let out a dry laugh at Zeppelin’s gaze.
“I did not pay the penalty fee, so do not worry.”

“Then what do you mean?”
“What other way is there to terminate a contract without paying a penalty, other than mutual termination? It was the Lord of Baster who proposed dissolving the contract.”
“…What?”
It was a perfect chance to saddle the House of Henry with an enormous debt, so why would he do that?
Zeppelin tilted his head.
Count Henry Lloyd resolved his doubt.

“According to this contract, you were allowed to participate in defense, but prohibited from taking part in offensive operations, were you not?”
“That is correct.”
“It seems the Lord of Baster found that quite regrettable.”
Zeppelin nodded.
“So the Lord of Baster will also be participating in this war.”
“That is right.”
Еn ú m ā .і̇ d̄
The Lord of Baster wanted Zeppelin to take part in this war.
Count Henry Lloyd returned the contract to Zeppelin.

“The Lord of Baster has already torn up his copy, so now all that remains is for you to tear yours.”
Zeppelin stroked his chin.
“If it has already been torn up, then even if I demand the penalty fee from the Lord of Baster—”
“Do you think the Lord of Baster would actually pay that money?”
Ѐnû m а .і́ d
“No, he would not…”
Anyone would rewrite the contract instead of paying a penalty.
“Stop overthinking it and tear it up.”
“Understood.”

Zeppelin tore the contract and tossed it into the fire chamber.
The contract turned to ash and vanished.

Clap, clap, clap.
“You are finally free. Congratulations, Zeppelin.”
Count Henry Lloyd said with a smile.
Zeppelin shrugged.
“When you say it like that, it sounds as if I was forced to do something I did not want.”
“Were you not?”

“I rather enjoyed it. Both my work as a professor and my life in the Baster territory.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. If possible, I would like to continue working as a professor even after becoming a lord. Would that be acceptable?”
Count Henry Lloyd struck his back.
“Why ask something so obvious? If you have time, you take on side work as well. A lord stays in the lord’s castle because that is the most efficient option. If there is a better occupation than remaining in the castle, then of course you should do that instead.”
Zeppelin clicked his tongue.

“It sounds as if Henry County is rather short on money.”
“There is no territory in this world that is free from money troubles. Hmm… well, perhaps the Northern Continent might be different. They have extracted quite a lot from the Demon Tribe there.”

“Being a lord sounds difficult as well.”
At Zeppelin’s complaint, Count Henry Lloyd laughed.
“Still, Henry County has many capable administrators, so there is no need to worry too much. It is fairly profitable, in its own way.”
“I look forward to it.”
Е̌ nü m̃а . ìd
“Yes, look forward to it. Then…”
Count Henry Lloyd took out a silver-crafted ornament.
“Here, take this.”
Zeppelin examined the ornament.

A wand and a sword crossed like twin blades.
“What is this?”

Putting on his top hat, Count Henry Lloyd replied,
“It is the crest of our house. Show it to the castle guards, and a knight will come out immediately and guide you to the lord’s castle.”
“I understand.”
“Then I shall be on my way. Once you are finished preparing, come to Henry County.”
“I understand.”
Count Henry Lloyd left through the front door.

Zeppelin stared at the door for a moment.
And about ten seconds later—
Clack.
The front door opened again.
Count Henry Lloyd smiled awkwardly.
“Hmm, now that I think about it, there is still quite a bit of time left. So…”

Zeppelin chuckled softly.
He began preparing to go out.

“Please wait a moment. I will be ready shortly.”
Count Henry Lloyd smiled.
“I look forward to it.”

The church of Baster Lord’s Castle.
“……”
The chapel after the service was quiet.
The majestic music and the beautiful harmonies of the choir were gone.

Only a few believers remained, eyes closed in prayer.
That was the chapel after worship.

Step. Step.
A man in a robe walked toward the altar.
