Ch. 1: Arbitro's Song of Praise
Kingdom of Arbitro in the Land of Judgement, Month of Shadow…-
The townscape of Arbitro had a historical sense about it, the magnificent paving stones spreading all across the town in neat order.
At the invitation of Prince Dulfer, who I had awakened, I came to Arbitro and was immediately brought to the castle…
…
……
Entering a room, there was a person waiting for me, who I initially mistook as a woman.
Dulfer.
His white wings, like that of an angel, perfectly suited his clear skin and good looks…
I was staring without realizing it, and Dulfer smiled at me elegantly as he noticed.
Dulfer: "Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you."
His beautiful jade green hair seemed to shimmer as it flowed over his shoulders, and the bottom hem of the beautiful, long purple clothes he wore clung to him in such a way as to give him the contours of a sculpture.
OO: "Ah…thank you for inviting me to be here."
I had been so captivated by his beautiful form that I hesitated too long to speak, and averted my gaze in a panic.
Dulfer: "Dear OO. Your name has such a lovely ring to it. Allow me to introduce myself again. I am Dulfer, and you don’t need to use titles with me."
I was bewitched by the swaying of his beautiful hair as he spoke.
OO: "Right…Dulfer. Nice to meet you."
Dulfer: "And you. In Arbitro, in this Land of Judgement, it is my duty to sing."
OO: "Sing…like a concert?"
Dulfer: "Not quite. I command the troops of this country into battle with my songs."
Songs of battle?
I tilted my head, and Dulfer gave an amused smile as he looked at me.
Dulfer: "To raise the morale of the soldiers. And I suppose it’s also my duty to sing and ease the minds of the people."
OO: "That sounds wonderful."
I’m sure anyone would be spellbound if they heard him sing.
Just imagining such a thing made my heart feel as if it had been healed.
