Editing Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 8 Epilogue (section)

===Part 3===
—In the cockpit of the magic ship Claíomh Solais.

Sitting in the captain’s seat, Uriel held a magic-powered microphone in hand as he gave a speech. According to the original script, Uriel was supposed to show up as the hero. While the magic ship Claíomh Solais flew in, the retreat of the <Schwarz Drachen Panzer> that attacked the capital would be announced, and the citizens would have welcomed Uriel as their hero — that was Uriel’s intended plan. However, not only did the <Schwarz Drachen Panzer> fail to attack the capital, the entire army had fallen apart at the hands of Ash and Eco. In addition, even Klaus and Krimehild had been imprisoned.

“Dear citizens, I implore that you listen to my words. The monster that just protected Fontaine City is none other than the enormous dragon which forced the Continental Congress <Elysium> to be halted earlier this summer. That incident should still be quite fresh in all of your minds.”

Even though the situation had not developed according to what he had planned, Uriel was unmoved. It was because the failure of Klaus and Kriemhild was already within the scope of his calculations.

“Fufu…what an act.”

Cassandra sat behind Uriel with an enchanting smile on her face. Cassandra’s luxurious dress caused her presence in the cockpit to stand out with splendour. Clenching the microphone tighter in his hand, Uriel continued

“The Knight Country’s government has kept their possession of this horrifying biological weapon a secret from their suzerain state, the Chevron Kingdom. This is a heinous crime, and even though my nation has always acted in the good spirit of forgiveness, this is difficult to overlook indeed.”

After Uriel temporarily put the microphone down, he ordered the crew to “do it”. Because they had already rehearsed the entire process beforehand, the crew members were able to immediately begin the preparations.
