Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite
Entangling thoughts
After the castle's ball was over, Rion and Aeriel appeared in favela and gladly reunited with the Ein. Unlike a ball, after enjoying a lively, easy-going feast, spend about three days meeting with the situation of the favela and the progress of progressing to other towns, and finish it Left for the province.
From then on, most of the accommodation is mostly in the back towns of the city. I never approached an inn where nobles could stay. It's about talking to subordinates being sent to town to get roots, and is afraid that someone who has stimulated the ball will think of something weird.
In fact it worked. Whatever the purpose, the couple who followed were to return in vain without grasping the whereabouts of Lions.
Only Marquis Winheels know the connection between Leon and the favela. After that, Charlotte is barely clear, but he knows his connection with the suspicious people, but he has no intention of letting go of his pursuers, and he has no intention of telling the surroundings anything extra.
Even if it is Prince Arnold.
◇◇◇
The most shocking of the ball was Prince Arnold. Yet, Prince Arnold, who is not involved in state affairs, was ignorant of the baron of Rion and the inauguration of Lord Bandhu. I know that the trigger was Prince Arnold, and no one dared to teach.
Without knowing the fact, Leon thought that he was somehow exiled somewhere, in front of Prince Arnold, suddenly he had the rank of a baron, and he was in a place called a ball hosted by the king Appeared. Moreover, Eriel, who had been enslaved, was his wife.
That is not all. A situation unfolding in front of the eyes further surprised Prince Arnold, who had hardened himself.
A mother who has been embraced since Prince Arnold's heartfelt congratulations on her marriage. Why Prince Arnold does not know why.
Prince Arnold was very upset, but he wasn't jealous right now. Nevertheless, there was a reluctant thought, and he asked Lions to ask for more details, but those who sent them turned back empty.
Unfortunately for Prince Arnold.
◇◇◇
And another one. Some are sorry that they couldn't find where Rion was. This one has clear malice.
Elwin was much more upset by the appearance of Eriel than Rion. Aeriel, who had fallen into slavery, was at the end of her aristocratic status. In addition, the other party, Rion, had a relationship that the Queen wanted to talk to, and even the king would talk to other aristocrats afterwards. Erwin has no clue how Leon, who would have been from the favela, came to such a position, but feels threatened by their presence.
They fear that they threaten their position. Not for Rion and Aeriel, but for the child born between them.
Rion will not be the heir to the Winheels. Aeriel is a woman, even if she is not guilty of exile. It cannot be a heir. But what if a son is born between them?
Would Marquis Winheel leave his grandson, a child of Aeriel, who was so beloved as to be painful to see?
Given that, Elwin feels anxious about his future. Despite its roots and leaves, rumors that he is not the child of Marquis Winheel have not disappeared. What happens if you use it even if it's a dart? Erwin, who ousted Vincent and Eriel for lying, fears it.
I have to do something. With that in mind, I tried to release the thug with a short-circuited idea, but it failed. Then you start to fear that you know the fact that you've released the thug.
Elwin was once stuck in a quagmire with the spirit of Prince Arnold.
Anyway, Elwin believes that Rion and Eriel's couple must be managed. And the land of Bandhu was too far from Erwin to do that.
◇◇◇
Charlotte was also very surprised at the appearance of Lions at the ball. But Charlotte's surprise, unlike others, is a surprise with pure favor.
They should have fallen to the bottom of misery, and they came together in a very happy atmosphere. The couple, who could not be tied together, became a couple and were blessed by the queen of the kingdom.
Does such a miracle happen in the world? Charlotte's surprise was almost impressive.
Charlotte wonders if Vincent's death was to unite them, knowing that it should not be considered.
I want to make such a love too. Forgetting Hou's status as a daughter, Charlotte has such a dream in her heart.
I want to throw away everything like Rion and love those who love me. He is a little clumsy and insensitive, but his attention to the opponent is meticulous. If you give a very cold or ruthless impression, it's an important person and has the kindness that you can cry even in public.
I want to meet such a person and be loved like Eriel.
Charlotte thinks like this. I want to see Lion again. Rion, who hadn't seen her for a long time, was still beautiful, but she was a bit masculine.
What do you talk about when you talk to Rion today?
Unintentionally, Charlotte's face reminds me of a laugh. I want to meet you again. Also, such thoughts came to Shallotte's heart.
◇◇◇
For Maria, the appearance of Rion and Eriel was not a big surprise. In the game, Eriel was to be married to a local lord. It's just that he was Rion. Maria's surprise was the surprise of the small happy ending behind the story.
And that fact cleanly removes the feeling of guilt that was only a little left in Mary's heart. I think the two were tied because of myself.
If Mary thinks of Rion, will he still be on his side?
The execution was a shock to Maria. Rion caught the magic she had seriously released with one hand. Even though Rion is a rare character, the order of strength is too different.
Since then, Maria has been calmly reviewing her own strength and increasing her training time. Some have become much stronger than at the time.
Still, he seeks the power of Rion.
At the ball, Rion said he had destroyed the demon. Maria knows at this stage that it's not a big monster, but she still wants to use the power of Rion to help her in her fight.
Thanks to Rion, the defeat of the genie can be done with the help of the kingdom. This is a good start to the game compared to the original game. In the game, the surroundings do not approve of the presence of the genie, but they are forced to fly out of the royal city with their friends alone and travel to various places to defeat monsters and geniees. Only after the monster damage has become noticeable can the state's support be obtained by buying the previous defeat record.
But Maria is not relieved. On the other hand, starting from favorable conditions, the level of the opponent to be defeated may be higher from the beginning.
Can you really fight such an opponent? Maria's heart had been worried since the ball.
By the way, Rion exposed Maria's pocketbook not only to escape from that place, but also to accelerate the defeat of the witches, and to end the game story early. When the game story ends, the protagonist correction disappears. Rion thinks:
Maria doesn't know Rion's thoughts. And Maria wants to finish the game story early. After the defeat of the witches, a luxurious life awaits as the Crown Princess and beyond.
I need more friends. Strong like Rion, no, I have to make Rion a friend. Maria has come to think so.
◇◇◇
Just as the main characters in the game are struggling with their thoughts, there are others in the castle who are bothering about Leon.
The two gathered in an audience room that once talked to Rion, inviting them from both sides. They are the King and the Guard Knight. The reason that the two who decided to treat Rion and Eriel are bothering their heads with Rion is that the concerns that they once had come up again when they met Rion again. Because
"... What did you think?"
Even if you don't ask anything, the Commander Knight knows.
"It was just the face of the governor. It should be younger, but now it's completely reversed."
"There is a difference between those who are in the business and those who are not. Should they have experienced the little things, even if a little earlier?"
The king's words do not cover only Prince Arnold. The commander of the Knights of the Guard had a desire not to increase the sense of danger to Rion.
"It's never too late"
"Yes. What about the face as a face?"
"Do you not know?"
"I thought I could get pus because of that, but it doesn't seem to be perfect yet. When it comes to the land of Bandhu, strange information doesn't come up."
Rion's accusations of official misconduct are, of course, heard in the King's ears. The king was furious at the fraud that took place in the royal territory. He intended to thoroughly identify and dispose of the wrongdoer, but it is still not complete, and reports of the land of Bandhu are not coming to the king as he wishes.
The king thinks, but this is a misunderstanding. Officials in the center of the kingdom are busy. Even where it was just busy, many were disposed of and became even more busy. However, it is not easy to replenish, and now there is no time to worry about the frontiers.
"The Knights' survey has limited information, but nonetheless, the land of Bandhu seems to be steadily moving toward recovery."
"In particular?"
"It seems that the bandits were first defeated."
"Suddenly Takeshi?"
The person who boasts Take is not the right way to be an administrator. A meaningless war, even if it wins, only depletes the national power.
"I thought so, but it wasn't. It seems that they ordered those trapped in the defeat of bandits to rehabilitate and reclaim highways."
"Well, for securing workers?"
"Bandu's finances have been bankrupt by corrupt officials. It would be a big deal if we wanted to secure a workforce for free."
It is not clear what the intention was, Knight said. To raise the king's reputation for Leon too much is not good. Apart from Rion's personal thoughts, the Knight of the Guards does not intend to allow any fuss over succession.
"What do you think of the Guard Knight?"
However, the king did not allow the deception.
"... It's a labor force."
"Why do you think so?"
"As far as I heard, the treatment of the sinners was not that of the sinners. Meals were provided properly. There was no overwork. I worked from morning till night, but I seemed to take turns taking a rest. is"
"... Not a sinner, but a good treatment"
Although he was considered the sweetness of Rion, the story of the next Knight of the Guard Knight quickly reconsidered that this was a mistake.
“Yes. Not
"Is it all a reconstruction workforce?"
"Yes. Not only the former bandits, but the land of Bandhu is now working with all the territorial people on the ground for recovery."
"... I've come this way. I've been thinking it's better than me."
"That's not true. It doesn't really mean you're a territorial person or hold down your minions."
"... It was a bandeau party."
As expected, the King also knew about the Bandu Six Party. Six are missing.
“Yes. It's like strangers. "
With a quick look, you can see that the Band ド ゥ Six Party is trying to hide something even if they don't get anything. That is the sweetness of the Bandu Six Party. I haven't been able to show me where to show and keep my vigilance.
"Is these people in Bandhu ..."
"I don't have to worry. He's a lot more than that of those royals."
Eventually, the commander of the Guard Knight would appreciate Rion.
"... Well, what happened?"
"You should manage to be reconciled. It can be one-sided. If he reveals something, if he says a word, forgive, then it won't matter You're done. "
The only compromise is that Leon and the Knights of the Knights think. Prince Arnold was unaware of himself and didn't even notice his surroundings, but he was ridiculously high in pride. The Knights of the Guard believe that this led to the false charges of Vincent and Eriel, and that guess is correct.
Whether such a Prince Prince Arnold apologizes to the opponent, the Knight of the Guard wonders. Rather than apologizing, it could even move to exclusion. The commander of the Knights' Guards knew that the only way to restore the relationship between the two was to erase the negative side from Rion's side.
I don't think Rion couldn't accept it. They think they can understand each other if they are brothers.
"Can time solve it?"
"... It's possible, but if possible, I'd like to reduce the distance a bit. When I knew the facts, my brother's feelings were born."
"Yes ..."
Various thoughts are intertwined, which are trying to bind Rion. The motives are different, but everyone's purpose is the same. Rion to the side. If that many people consider it, it will be realized.
No matter how disgusted Leon is where he wants it.
◇◇◇
There is no way for Leon to know the speculation of the royal city. He hurried his journey, thinking of returning to his territory as soon as possible. It wasn't until Rion entered the territory that Rion noticed something unusual.
This is the fourth time that the road has been connected to the royal city and the territory, but the state of the road is different from any of the past three times. There are many people. There are also a number of merchants in the wagons.
Such a situation was something that Rion had longed for, but he couldn't immediately understand why. It was still under preparation.
"Aeriel. Can we hurry a little more?"
"Yes.
With the consent of Aeriel, the horse is further advanced.
Finally, at the mark that arrived, Lions saw some, if not all, vigorous peddlers traversing the city.
"... what is it?"
Rion came to the gatekeeper's place, and asked Rion about the situation.
"Oh, Lord. Please come home.
Looking at Rion's face, a soldier inside greeted him.
"I'm right now. I want to ask why there are so many people. Do you know why?"
Rion greeted him in return and asked a question to the soldier.
"Are you surprised?"
"Oh, I was surprised on the way. I wanted to know the situation, and I was in a hurry halfway. Tell me as far as I can understand."
"Yes. The trigger was that a group of hawkers came across the border."
"... Why bother with dangerous borders?"
Rion thought that this was a hawker with a dark background, but it was not.
"It seems that the southern highway has been blocked. The peddler has heard that he wants to enter our country and has another northern highway that can cross the border."
"Is another blockaded, then at once?"
"No. Indeed, it doesn't go. The peddler's corps stayed in this city, but they seemed to like it very much. Hearing that, the merchants of our country used this highway, and the satisfied merchants talked about our city after crossing the border, and the merchant who heard it seems to be like "
The blockade was just an opportunity, thanks to the word-of-mouth spread of the city's good reputation. But what makes its good reputation depend on Rion is one thing.
"... Is that satisfied? Is it at False?"
"There is no place to stay there."
"I see ... Okay, thank you."
Rion, who knew the situation, headed to the inn run by Fors. It is an inn, a bar, a gambling hall and a prostitute. I do other things, but these are the four main ones.
The target building that has arrived. As soon as you dive under the entrance door.
"""Welcome!"""
The voices of employees resonate. There is an inn reception right next to the entrance. They are lining up there and welcoming customers.
"Oh, Leon. Are you back?"
Realizing that it was Rion, one of the employees called out. He was a resident of the favela and also knows Rion.
"Oh, I'm just back. Is there a false?"
"I'm in the back, so I can call you."
"Thank you"
One of the employees turned to the back to call False. In front of the entrance is a bar and cafeteria, behind which is a corridor leading to a prostitute. The employee was there, and False was at the prostitute or further down.
Rion and Aeriel, who knew that it would take some time before False arrived, moved to the back of the reception so that they would not be in the way.
While waiting, a guest appeared.
He seemed a little confused by the greetings sung at once. An employee approaches and talks.
"Are you eating or staying?"
"Oh, staying"
"I'm sorry.
"Oh"
Guide the customer before the reception where Lions are, and the employee himself enters the reception. Take out the inn's ledger and ask for the number of nights. The guest's answer was one night. Ask the customer to write their name and pay the deposit. The reception of the inn is now complete.
"Now we will take you to the room. We will carry your luggage to the room, so please leave it to the employee behind."
As soon as he says, another employee comes in front of the customer.
"We will keep your luggage"
"Oh no, luggage"
"Please put on a trolley"
Regardless of the hesitant customer, the baggage worker puts the trolley forward.
"……Oh"
As he was told, the customer put his luggage on the trolley. Even those who hesitate to carry their luggage in their hands seem to be able to leave their luggage with confidence if they are told to put it on a trolley. This is not what Rion ordered. It is probably the idea that they thought.
"OK. Here it is."
The receiving employee leads with the key. Then came the customers, and the employees pushing the trolleys. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, your keys are handed to the luggage clerk who walks up the stairs with your keys and luggage in hand. Customers will follow without saying anything to the luggage. The remaining receptionist is bowing deeply toward the customer's back. After that, just push the cart and return to the reception.
Looking at the employees, Rion grew hot. Customer service today isn't something you can learn overnight. They had been practicing customer service all the time for customers who might not know when they would come. Their efforts are now bearing fruit. The reputation of the city was created by employees working here.
"This is a general. Are you going back?"
"... Oh, I'm back."
"Is that surprised? The number of customers suddenly increased this month."
"Is that so?"
"It's really a general. With a general, any deserted place will be reborn as a lively place. This city is the same as a favela."
"... Thanks to me. Thanks to your efforts. Thank you."
Rion bowed deeply at Forss and the employees here, and was stuck. It's embarrassing to see such a face without tears.
"... Thanks to the general, we can do our best because he's there."
"... that's my line"
Rion can do his best because I think it's for them. Rion does his best not only for revenge. There is also a desire to somehow improve their lives that follow them.
Rion was an administrator who could work for the happiness of others, not his own desires. Rion does not know how valuable it is in this world.
And what we don't know is the same as those in the royal capital.
