A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 573: The Dragon Killer Part 1
Five days passed since Reurus and his men returned to King's Land after fighting the Gregorians on a plain about five days northwest of Rovama, King of Mataroi, the great power of the continent of Cardiva.
In the past five days, Reurus and the others have basically been waiting at the rental house, and the time for relaxation has passed for each of them to heal their fatigue, take care of the tools they used during their journey, and take care of their weapons and armor.
But the Reurus are not waiting for us in a rental house for nothing.I wanted to go back to my hometown if I could, but I was waiting because there were things I had to wait for, such as receiving rewards for defeating the dragon and applying for approval of Reus' family name and family crest, which became a quasi-bar.
But it was about time that it ended, so the Reurus and the others were ready to pull back the rent at any time.
"Is Baron Amendora and Baron Reurus at home?
With such words, Sebastian's visit to the house, the ordinance of the Count of Werg, will bring an end to the relaxing time.
When Corona brokered and saw Sebastian in the living room, Reurus leaned small.
"It's been a long time.Does Mr. Sebastian feel that Mr. Lewis has come a step further?
Louis was fighting with the Viscount Doria on "all sorts of things”, but Sebastian's arrival would mean that there was some progress.Sebastian nodded back when Reurus asked.
"Somewhat, but there's been some progress… The Lord wants to talk to you about the Viscount Doria, and it's up to me to confirm your plans."
"Ah... I'm free for now, but what about you?
"There's no hurry to clean up.Sir Sebastian, may I accompany you as you please?
When Natalia asks, Sebastian is slightly silent.Perhaps he remembered Louis' plans, but he nodded firmly whether he had put together his thoughts in just a few seconds.
"Of course. Please use our carriage if you like."
"Well, I'll just give you a minute.Nicolas, if a messenger comes from the royal castle, come to the Count of Velg's house and pay him back.Reurus, don't forget...?
"Hmm? Ah... I understand."
With Natalia's meaningful gaze, Reurus immediately smiled bitterly, even with a slight doubt.
Less prepared, Reus and Natalia were swayed by Sebastian-operated carriages and headed to the Villa of the Count of Velg.
"Hey... it's been a long time..."
Having met Louis for the first time in a long time, he throws a few words like he did before.I didn't think it was someone else, but I could see my cheeks coming out from the eyes of Reurus.
"I followed Sebastian because I had time... should I go home?Mr. Lewis, you look terrible. "
It was a realuse that was put into the living room and sat in the chair for now, but I think it would be better to change the day.He looked tired and wondered if he was acting in anticipation of the Duke of Doria, but apparently Louis was really tired.
"Hahaha... I was just hoping to take a break... Ah, sebastian, anemone, please serve me."
"Yes, sir."
On Lewis' instructions, Sebastian and Anemone lined up drinks and baked goods in front of Reurus and Natalia, respectively.When Louis received his drink, he took a sip and smiled.
"First of all, Reurus, I'm glad you're home safe.And I'm sorry. I knew as soon as the inhabitants of King's Landing rumored that you were back, but a little... no, to be honest, it was pretty rough.I want you to apologize for what happened. "
"It was just right to get tired, so don't worry about it."
"It would be helpful if you said so... I'm curious about your battle, but may I talk to you first?
It is Reurus, not Natalia, that Lewis is looking at.Natalia is the guardian of Reurus, but the Vicomte de Doria - or, to be precise, the victim of the brutality perpetrated by Seras - is Reurus.
But Reurus waited for it.
"What? Speaking of which, when it comes to the Vicomte d 'Oreal, it seems that while we were away, Mr. Sebastian would deal with it together with Mr. Lewis...?
Coming here, Reurus shook his head to realize that he had not heard anything from Natalia.Then Natalia sighs small.
"I had a lot of roots about the" defeat of the dragon ”and I didn't have time to talk about it... which is an excuse, but it's not a very pleasant decision.I was wondering if I could make you listen when you just got back. "
"... that's quite a problem, isn't it?
"Problem... yes, if it's a problem, it's a problem"
Rarely, Natalia's words were cloudy with bad teeth.Reurus looks strange in Natalia's face, but Lewis tries to get out of the rescue boat and sandwiches his words.
"Reurus, I wonder why something happened to Seras...."
"A court nobleman chewed a piece of it, causing a woman named Serus to verbally“ erupt ”, right?And by the way, the mother of a woman named Selas...?
Lewis nods with a bitter smile when Lewis talks about what he heard from Sofia.
"Yeah, that's right.The court nobles were involved... and I should have noticed when I was doing that. "
"...?
When Reurus asks, Lewis's expression changes.I wondered if my face had turned into a true face, and the expression seeped with remorse.
"The daughter of the Viscount Doria, who fled King's Landing, but the guards who were training near King's Landing accidentally found her."
"Heh... coincidence?"
"Oh, coincidence.It's an entirely convenient coincidence... and they resisted violently at the time.The guards had to slay him. "
"... is the Guard so bad that if an amateur woman breaks out, she has to be slashed?I think I can hold it with my bare hands..... "
Unexpectedly, Reurus asks.The expression had a stunning color, and Louis drank a sip of tea with a similar expression on his face.
"Phew... I instigated my daughter to kill you and Ruvillia and put the Spirit in danger.It seems to have broken out when he pleaded guilty and warned his parents that his family, the Viscount Doria, would be exhausted. "
(It feels like a rumor... that Mr. Lewis was informed later.But no matter what I thought, it only sounded like a mouthpiece... Was it the mother who rode the palace noble's mouthpiece, and did Seras say "tools”?
Perhaps Seras' mother's escape from King's Landing was also a guide to the court nobility.
The question is, who “took the head”, even with a mouthful of court nobles?
(As far as Lewis's gesture and his condition are concerned, did he catch his tail...?)
Reurus nodded loudly, yeah.
(I can't help it if you and Louis can't do it.The opponent was good at many sheets)
The court nobles didn't have territory or force, but Natalia or Louis probably didn't have teeth in terms of plots.Reurus, who realizes that there is no talent in “that aspect”, can give up if they fail.
"So... what happens to Seras?You saved your life, didn't you?
"... I tried to kill the Baroness, the second daughter of the Earl, and the Spirit.It's me. "
That's how Lewis put his knife on his neck.
"I see... is that so?"
"Ah... I was judged irrelevant to my younger sister than Serras, but her mother was killed by a nearby guard and her sister was decapitated for her sins.The future is hopeless as a child of nobility. "
Even though the edge has already been cut off, the expression of Louis has become stiff because she was a half-brother and sister.
"Besides, it seems that Vicomte Doria will be coming to King's Landing soon.I had a quick horse, but there was a reply that I wanted to discuss the matter. "
"Discussion? What are you discussing?
"My real daughter and grandson did that.First of all, I want to talk about the harmony between our family and Mr. Reurus, and from there, about compensation... I wonder if it feels like a formal harmony if we have an agreement?
"... what if we don't make a deal?
Although there was a “fault” that Seras and the others were driven to King's Landing, as Countess Doria, she would not have thought that her daughter and grandson would cause great problems.There must have been some problems, but they didn't even think about killing people in other houses.
For that reason, Reurus thought that Count Doria would honestly admit his fault, but Louis thought differently and smiled with an unspeakable face.
"Not only our house, but also the Marquis of Grimer and other southern nobles may develop into a war… How far will the Western nobles shelter Count Doria in that case?
"If that happens, I'll join you because I'm a party, right?And then... you, too?
Reurus does not know how powerful the Viscount Doria is or how powerful the aristocrats of western Mataroi are.However, I thought that Natalia would be able to fish enough by herself if she had half the strength.
"That's what happens. However, there is a deep connection with Spiritualism, and I think I will choose harmony from the beginning before turning you into an enemy who has recently been rumored to be the Dragon Killer."
"Really... hmm?Didn't you get a strange name?
Reurus asks, wondering if I heard it wrong.
"Oh, you don't know?Many stories have been going on among the inhabitants of King's Landing under the name "Dragon Killer."Again and again, it sounds like they're gossiping about you. "
Then Louis turned his eyes and said such a thing.
