"Couldn't they have helped just the women and children?"
"I couldn't. When the children and women are released from their low status, they change their behavior. I hear that you can no longer deal with them."
"Wow, I don't want anything to do with any of these people."
The king nodded at Sam's words.
"Yes. It is best to stay out of it. Since then, they've been living in settlements near the borders of the Skye Kingdom on their own."
"Well, I don't know how to say this, but didn't you get rid of them?"
"We could have eliminated them, but we couldn't, since we knew they would be a detriment to our country."
Clyde continued speaking with a bitter look on his face.
"They were so good at magic that the Kingdom of Skye decided to leave them alone."
"It's no use," he said, "if it's not done well, it will lead to war.
"The only good thing about them is that they're closed. Marriages and everything else is done within the family. Occasionally they raid neighboring villages and towns, looting and kidnapping people, but the damage is kept to a minimum and countermeasures are taken on a case-by-case basis. It was also believed that there was no need to defeat them and that they would perish on their own if left unchecked. However, "
"But?"
They survived. They survived because of one terrible habit.
Sam did not miss Clyde's slight shudder.
"They eat people."
"--"
"This is why they survived the food shortage and did not perish. I had them investigate further and found out that they did not do cannibalism as a painful decision because they suffered from hunger. They eat humans as a daily habit.
"Frankly, it makes me want to vomit."
I agree. It is said that the people of Najaria have a belief that they can gain more strength by eating wizards or people with magical powers. A wizard of high rank eats a wizard of low rank. Children and women are also eaten if they have any magical power.
"--horrifying."
Sam struggled to hold back the volume that was rising in his mind.
Eating people--this is a taboo that one must not commit in order to be a person.
Just the thought of a family that breaks this rule targeting the Kingdom of Skye was enough to make one shudder.
"In the past, it seems that people kidnapped from neighboring villages and towns were also eaten without exception. No one wants anything to do with such a family. But they are good wizards. That's what's so frightening."
"--I know that there are people who believe in such taboos. In fact, I have never met a person who actually violates such taboos, but basically, nothing changes when a person eats a human being. It may be a little bit harsh to say, but it is no different from eating the flesh of an animal. It is impossible for a wizard to become strong.
Surprisingly, not a few people break the taboo.
Unfortunately, there are people who cannot suppress their mad curiosity to try things that are forbidden to do, and end up doing them.
For example, a girl who dreamed of becoming a magician killed a magician and drank his blood.
An old nobleman ate a wizard, believing that it would rejuvenate him.
The list goes on and on, and human beings commit abominations for a variety of reasons.
However, there are probably few people who believe in breaking taboos like the people of Najaria.
This is insane.
Maybe they are already more like monsters than human beings.
Not physically, but mentally.
"It seems so. But the people of Najaria do not understand such words. --If they have acted again, I am afraid.
"Albert Frege and Misery Michel were also involved with them."
"Apparently. I guess those who have only known how to be honest, loud, and violent with their emotions have gained wisdom. I wonder why now, but more than that, I am afraid of them.
"I agree. At least those who have adopted taboos into their daily lives are not normal. It is beyond comprehension. I can't predict what they will do to us in the future.
It's Sam.
"--Yes."
Clyde looked straight at Sam.
"We may have to fight the people of Najaria in the future. No, you can be sure of that. I am sorry to cause you trouble, but you are the greatest wizard in our land. We will be counting on you to do your work."
"--Of course. Let us fight for our lives for this country where our loved ones live."
I will not allow my beloved master's hometown, my country with my loved ones and my family, to be defiled by a family that is steeped in taboo.
If the worst should happen, if the worst should happen to a loved one in their hands, Sam would be at his wits' end.
For the sake of his loved ones, for the sake of the people who live in the Kingdom of Skye, Sam is determined to fight.
