A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Chapter 597: Return from the King's Landing Part 1

The day the summer heat subsided and the autumn signs began to intensify.

Reus went to the royal castle in the morning and received a reward for defeating the dragon.

The reward is 400 large gold coins, including the advance, “colored” as King Leonardo put it.It also requires a slightly luxurious carriage and two horses for use as a quasi-boy.

The body of the carriage depicts the family crest applied for by Reus - a large double round diagonal red sword.

Reurus asks Meer, who was accompanied by him, to return to the rented house and load the luggage.Among the items purchased in King's Landing, food and travel gear consumed during the trip.They were loaded into a carriage about the size of a small room, checked for forgotten items, and sighed one by one.

(I wonder if the harassment of a court nobleman is better than the carriage he uses.....)

Reurus shakes his head as he thinks about avoiding the problem in front of him.The carriage in front of you is not a wagon, it is a “noble” carriage with walls and roofs firmly surrounded by wood.A seat is provided inside, but the reuse does not mind loading the luggage from next to next.

Compared to the carriage used by Natalia, it is large, and it has a gorgeous appearance and makes me wonder if I want to make a difference.However, there was no dust in Reurus to contend with Natalia, and Natalia was just saying that she would be happy if she got a free, quality carriage.

Until today, I stayed in King's City longer than planned due to a request from the royal palace.There is nothing to do in King's City at the earliest, and you can travel with a big wave.

That was by nature a pleasure.Leonardo's “restraint” made it unlikely that the court nobles would cause trouble, but the King's Capital was not a place to stay for long as a Reus.If you were able to leave once, you would not want to visit as much as possible.

It was a pleasure to be able to leave such a kingdom and return to the abandoned city of Laval and the town of Speranza.

"Dear Reurus, what's wrong?"

Reurus shook his head to the voice of Ruvillia, who was carrying a very small amount of luggage on Sebastian, considering it to be a noble lady.

"... no, I thought you had a lot less luggage."

A revulsion that returns an unreasonable topic, apart from what was thought of.

After all, should I say?Reurus gave his consent to Ruvillia who said he wanted to accompany him to the town of Speranza.

It was a suggestion from Ruvillia, and there was no “reason to refuse”.

Reurus has no words to stop Ruvillia from acting for the Baroness of Varza as the right-wife and even more for Reurus.

Lewis, the current lord of the Count of Velg and brother of Leville, has given permission, so Lewis can't stop if he wants to.

Although I am concerned that Eliza and her reactions differ slightly, Reurus thinks that this is the only difference between slow and early.I thought it would be better to start living together as soon as possible.

As long as it's a complete stranger, Ruvillia and I traveled together for two months.At first, it will be chaotic, but there will be parts of it that will be solved in time.

(Well, you can't just leave it to her over time... she's the wife of her choice, and Eliza and the others are important.I have to get in between good things....)

Perhaps it would have been simpler and better if it had been for reasons such as losing to pure flesh and marrying multiple people.But Eliza and Ruvillia are important as Reurus, but when it comes to “more than that," I don't even think it's time to leave it to the flow of time.

Ruvillia laughs happily with her hands on her mouth about how she perceived the worrying realus of things that don't appear on her expression.

"Sure, there's a lot of luggage, but if you have a tuxedo to wear when visitors arrive, just minimal clothing and tools are fine.If we're going to start exploring Baron Amondola's territory now, I think we've got more baggage, but I hear it's already taking on some form as a town. "

"It's true that merchants come to sell groceries with materials, but there's hardly anything like it for nobles?"

Reurus switches minds and focuses first on conversations with Ruvillia.

At least there aren't any items that Countess Ruvillia likes to use.As Reurus explains, Ruvillia leans her neck strangely.

"It was already a few days ago that Reurus became an associate baron, started a family, and won an army medal at Your Majesty's behest.Not only the King's Capital, but the “nosey” merchant already knows the story.From now on, there will be more merchants who visit the town of Speranza... "

But in the middle of the conversation, Ruvillia somehow dyed her cheeks red.Reurus wonders about it, and Ruvillia laughs with her hands on cherry-colored cheeks.

"Wow, you know the story about me and Reurus getting married... so, uh, I wonder if clothes and ornaments are going to be sold..."

"... if you knew I'd become a baroness, would you marry Ruvillia?That's right. "

When I heard about Ruvillia, it seemed like it too.Therefore Reus nodded convincingly and scratched his head.

(Even if you don't take it all the way from King's Landing, the merchant will take the initiative to sell it... and you know you got a lot of money for your reward.)

It was a revulsion to think like that, but Ruvillia somehow turned the smile she had in mind into a bitter smile.

"However, like the medicine and alcohol that Reurus bought, I don't know if it can be sold even if it is carried a lot, and I don't know if it can be sold at a high price or if it is suspicious...."

"Medicine and alcohol are important.At least in the town of Speranza, if we had two, most things would be fine.Visiting merchants bring us liquor..... "

The drugs and alcohol purchased for Collard and Calvin Dwarves were loaded into the carriage as expected.

The medicines used in case of injury or illness will be used in “normal development”, but Collard, who can be called the person in charge at the scene, cannot let go of the stomach medicine.And the dwarves like alcohol so much that they wonder if it's fueled by alcohol.

"I understand the importance of medicine, and I think alcohol is useful to motivate workers... but the amount that Reurus bought in King's Landing..."

"Ah... that's right, isn't that enough?"

"Yeah, not enough... eh?"

Considering the quality - I bought a lot of them in barrels, but Calvin and the others would have drunk them overnight.

But if you buy too much, you may not be able to stand the horse that tows the carriage.That's what I thought. It was a revulsion that stopped the purchase, but I thought I should buy an extra carriage and horse and bring back a lot of alcohol alone.

And Ruvillia rounded her eyes and smiled like she was in trouble.

"... isn't this enough?"

"Most dwarfs like alcohol, so if I let them drink it without adding or subtracting it, it would be a banquet.If you think so, maybe you should negotiate with the liquor store and have them carry it regularly... no, it's expensive for transportation.I knew it would be quicker and cheaper to collect it from merchants in neighboring territories. "

While talking like that, Reurus thinks seriously.

In the town of Speranza, cultivation has begun gradually in the fields, but there is no room for brewing.That's why I buy alcohol from other places, but I can't just buy alcohol because I need town materials and food.

Still, if there are more merchants visiting the town of Speranza, there will be more alcohol brought in.Reurus concluded that, and Ruvillia coughed cutely.

"I was right to decide that I should go to the territory sooner... there seems to be a huge perception gap between me and Reurus."

"That's why I didn't tell you about it... Calvin's grandmothers work better than usual when they can drink at the end of their work.But sometimes drunken fights start... and Collard stops while I'm gone. "

Reurus murmured as he remembered.

Whether it is unchanging for some people to get nervous when the world changes, there are often fights between adventurers and dwarfs, and even between adventurers and dwarfs.I'll leave it to a certain extent, but if it goes too far, I need to hold it and stop it.

As long as Reurus and the others are gone, Collard will be in charge of the arbitration of such rubbing.

Collard wouldn't have any problems, but Ruvillia smiled at Reurus, who was worried about what was going on right now.

"Warrant Baron Roberly is still in great trouble... so, Reurus?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Reurus leaned his neck to Ruvillia, calling out as if he had changed.Then Ruvillia paused for a moment and then confused herself.

"Regarding Corona, but...."

…………

Reurus blinked silently at the topic cut out of Ruvillia.I didn't feel angry or uncomfortable.I didn't immediately realize what to say.

Still, Reus scratches his cheeks in trouble after placing it for a few seconds.

"... I don't know what to say in front of Ruville... but I'm surprised to hear from you... that I should accompany Corona... honestly."

No matter how close Corona is to Reurus - no, it's because it's close that you're lost in the distance from Ruvillia.

Still, Ruvillia, who suggested accompanying Corona, smiled as if she had seen what Reurus was thinking.

"It's true that there are many things I think, but trusted cooks are very important.And you need to think about what kind of food you can cook with the crops you can get on the land, and what additional ingredients you can make new dishes with... "

"I'll leave it up to Ruvillia to do that... not only for you, but also for the Baroness Valza.And then... for me, too. "

Ruvillia thinks a noble position on the corona is necessary for the Reus.There is still a great deal of confusion about whether it should be said or not as a realuse conveyed directly in words.

"Yes, I think so."

However, Reurus smiled bitterly at Ruvillia, who nodded as if she was the earliest confident.

When I first met him, I thought he was the daughter of a weak nobleman.When we traveled together, we thought we had bones. And now...

(Guigui is coming... not like that.Is it a core, or is it your will...?)

As a revulsion that doesn't know "I", it seems a little dazzling.At the same time, it is fully conveyed that Ruvillia is trying to support herself (Reurus) who will marry, and it is also interesting.

(... hmm?)

That's how Reurus was talking to Ruvillia, but his thoughts were surprisingly diverted.It's not a flight from thought, but someone close enough to break your consciousness.

"I'm sorry before I leave.I'm here to see you off. Can I talk to you for a second? "

"I'm almost ready and I'm fine... Marquis Grimer"

It was the Marquis of Grimer who approached Reurus.As usual, the nobility stood still, but when he saw the expression of the Marquis Grimer, Reus raised his eyebrows small.

"Thank you for dropping me off. By the way... somehow, you look pale... if you're Senpai Nicola, you'll be watching the horses over there."

"Nicola... good. You don't want to talk to her either.Just looking at my face will make me happy... and it'll make me angry again. "

Marquis Grimer laughs bitterly.As for Reus, Nicolas and the Marquis of Grimer would naturally have Nicolas's shoulders, but by becoming aristocratic - to be precise, "unable to blame the Marquis of Grimer” - they would return an ambiguous smile.

"... so what can I do for you? About my marriage to Ruvillia?"

Even if I put the spear in now, Reurus asks without saying.But the Marquis de Grimer shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"I have nothing to complain about your marriage to Lord Ruville.Your Majesty was also brought to justice and married to each other in the same southern Mataroi aristocracy.I wish I could have talked to you beforehand. "

"Hahahaha... please ask my brother-in-law about this."

"I said, 'I have a proud brother-in-law.'"

That was the Marquis Grimer snorting his nose, but I don't suppose he's uncomfortable at heart.While relying on Lewis, who had just become the main player, he had to stick a nail in his position, and Reus clammed.

But then I didn't know why the Marquis de Grimer had bothered to speak up.As he leans his neck small, the Marquis of Grimer slightly diverts his gaze after coughing up.

"Your departure today has been a topic of discussion in King's Landing since a few days ago.Do you know that? "

"Is it something to talk about... no, I understand that there are things like that in my position."

It may settle naturally over time, but as it stands, it is like being sang by a bard, and walking the road is crowded by the people of King's Landing.Reurus thought it would be a good rumor to squander time.

"So... your return to the realm also means moving from King's Landing to the southern part of Mataroi.This is a great opportunity for those who want to travel to the south before winter. "

"Well... that's right.Will anyone follow me? "

“Normally”, it would be more than just travelling by carriage and passing through well-maintained streets.It's no wonder travelers and merchants continue after Reurus passes, as they don't run through mountains, forests, mountain paths, or animal paths.

It's been a long time for Reurus to get used to it, but outside towns and villages is a dangerous place for monsters and bandits to spread.I think it is an excessive name for Reurus, but if someone nicknamed "Dragon Killer" progresses, it will be judged that the risk is significantly lower than usual.

I don't think there will be any escorts, but I'm sure there will be a few people who will try to stay with me even if it's somewhat impossible.It is unlikely that powerful monsters and bandits will attack near King's Landing, but not as far away as it is.

"... who can follow me?"

Until then, Ruvillia, listening to Reus and the Marquis of Grimer, asks for confirmation.From Marquis Grimer's tone, he figured out how to talk.

"Hmm... following me is a bad word.In that case, it is thought that those people have no power to defend themselves, and the “building front” where the “superiors" do not directly ask for an intermediary like this... is okay? "

The Marquis de Grimar raised her eyebrows slightly in Ruvillia's words, but she exhaled little by little as to what she thought.

"Baroness Warza, and Baroness Warza.You will be quasi-aristocrats from your point of view, but the existence of other houses cannot be ignored by those who are aristocrats, including the Baron.Whether it's friendly or hostile depends on the situation, but we've never gone beyond making the best of enemies... haven't we? "

"I just became a quasi-boy with hate, so I can only imagine the area... but I think it's natural."

"Hmm... fewer enemies, better have more allies.That's a natural story, isn't it? "

"That's... that's right."

Reurus nods ambiguously without knowing what the Marquis Grimer intends.I understand what you're saying, but I can't see where we're going.

"Which noble family is moving to make an“ ally ”...?"

But Ruvillia seems to see the outline of the story.Ask Marquis Grimer to remain vigilant, in suspicion.

From Ruvillia's point of view, it was decided that if anyone moved in the current situation, they would be targeting Reurus.However, the Marquis Grimer reacted strangely and leaned his neck to encourage the continuation of the conversation.

"I wish I could say yes...Even though it's a “similar position”, there is one person who can take actions that are difficult to judge... No, just this time, he didn't move directly... "

But the reaction of the Marquis Grimer was somewhat dental.I started rubbing my eyebrows by trying to solve the problem I got caught up in.

"The people of northern Mataroi... no, let's not decorate the words.Some of the nobles under the Marquis of Sardari want to take this opportunity to say "hello" to the southerners.Some of them don't show their faces in King's Landing.... "

"I understand why you don't want to show your face to King's Landing, but... are you around to say hello?"

The face of Marquis Sardari smiles brightly behind Reurus's head.Do you just say hello or is there something behind it?

"I won't tell you to be wary, but they're the ones... who have Marquis Sardari as their flag.Don't be ridiculous. "

Marquis Grimer laughs bitterly at Reurus, who watches the back of the story.The Reurus nodded convincingly that was the case.

"The time and danger of traveling from King's Landing to the south of Mataroi and from the north to the south of Mataroi will certainly change dramatically... but it will be winter soon, right?Is that really dangerous? "

Still, it seems that Ruvillia had something to catch.Ask questions while tilting your head.

"The northerners don't seem to have any problems with a little cold.Of course, they will follow proper procedures during the visit, but they do want to minimize the dangers when travelling.I will follow you. "

"I see... if there is no negative impact on the Baron Valza, then I have nothing to say..."

That's what keeps Ruvillia back.No matter what you plan, you don't have to think about what happens if you do an intrusive imitation at the nobility's "knee” back home.

Looking at it in the brackets of the nobles Reurus and Natalia, Ruvillia decided that it could be a detour suicide, such as plotting in a land controlled by militants who were definitely classified as militants.

(The aristocrats under the Marquis of Sardari... those hard-working people?)

And Reurus decides that there will be no problem if the aristocrats under the Marquis Sardari, who are not familiar with his personality.I did not speak intimately, but saw the nobles shaken by the actions of Marquis Sardari and decided that I would not be more vigilant than necessary as a Reurus.

"So? How many of these people are coming?"

I'm not willing to take the lead, but if you follow me, you should know that.When Reurus asked, the Marquis of Grimer narrowed his eyes with his hand on his chin.

"Around thirty people, including the guards... but there's just a little bit of trouble."

"What do you mean?"

Ruvillia makes the vigilant colour even more intense, not to say what it is.But Marquis Grimer smiles bitterly and tries to say something - a footsteps that rushes in unexpectedly.

"Ah! Long time no see, Baroness Varza!"

There was Alice, the four daughters of the Marquis of Sardari, a travelling girl who said that and laughed brightly.
