Subaru:  "Like I care about what happened after! I’m talking about Wilhelm here. What do you think? Does he still hold a grudge about his wife, and…?” Did Julius suspect that Wilhelm might rebel against the kingdom? Did he think that this person, Wilhelm van Astrea, was that kind of human being? How could someone look at him and think that about a man so forthright about his love that he’d offered up everything for it? Couldn’t you tell from looking at his eyes, his back? And why were the people Subaru liked exposed to such undeserved prejudice?

Subaru:  “Why can’t everyone understand he’s not that kind of person…?” Demanding to know why in a choked voice, Subaru glared at Julius.

Julius:  Accepting his withering gaze head-on, Julius’s eyes somehow seemed envious as he looked back at Subaru.

Subaru:  Subaru knew. He was well aware his anger was misplaced and aimed at the wrong target. In the end, Julius had just objectively recited the tale. In no way did Julius himself doubt Wilhelm, nor was he one of the people who doubted Wilhelm. After all, Julius had thanked Wilhelm after the battle with the White Whale one year prior. He’d praised Wilhelm for pursuing his greatest wish for fourteen long years.

Subaru:  “…Sorry. I’m an idiot.”

Julius:  “No, you are not in the wrong. What you say is correct. It is I who is in the wrong—and so I shall remain, without a chance to rectify my mistake.” Lowering their gazes, both of them closed their eyes as they wrestled with such unbearable thoughts. The seeds of distrust about Wilhelm’s true intentions still remained. They weren’t the sort of thing that could be immediately solved with words and actions.

Subaru:  “…Does this go for Reinhard, too?”

Julius:  “The situation is different in his case—at one time, Reinhard did whatever Master Heinkel told him to. It was not a period that could be dismissed simply by saying, well, they were father and son.” Averting his gaze from Subaru, Julius seemed regretful as he spoke. But without touching upon any of the details, Julius took a deep breath and continued his explanation. "When Reinhard became independent, such behavior came to an end. However, enough happened that a concern remains within the kingdom. Namely, could such a thing not come to pass once more?”

Subaru:  “…So to make sure Heinkel doesn’t give Reinhard insane orders, the kingdom’s trying its damnedest to keep Heinkel in a good mood?”

Julius:  “Perhaps it is something far worse. In the end, this is nothing more than rumor, but I shall convey it to you nonetheless—to you, who expressed indignation in that situation as Reinhard’s friend.” With that worrying preamble, Julius quickly scanned their surroundings.
