A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Chapter 598: Return from the King's Landing Part 2
A journey that leaves Rovama, the capital of the King, and returns to the abandoned city of Laval before returning to the town of Speranza.It was peaceful enough for Reurus to clap.
One of the reasons is that they don't pass through mountains or forests, and they pass through well-developed streets.In addition to Reurus, there are other traders, travellers, and aristocrats and soldiers from northern Mataroi, including Alice, who line the streets.
It is not an army march, but more than a hundred people have solidified and moved.It is a number that hesitates to take action from a bandit, and Eliza is not even close from a junior monster.
Sometimes I thought it was a scorn for bandits, but I couldn't escape Sarah's heat detection.Each time Reurus turned a meaningful gaze, he immediately retreated and never approached again.
It was a peaceful journey, even though Eliza's “monster avoidance” didn't make it through to the intermediate monsters, not to mention the advanced ones.
(Even if the monsters and bandits don't come near me, I can't let them go....)
In order to reveal the night at the "station" next to the street, Reurus, who bought a nap, sighs with only his heart.
As usual, the “range of vigilance” is not very wide as long as the Reurus are alone.Eliza and Sarah have abilities, but Natalia's ability to manipulate the wind freely is unlikely to surprise her.
However, with merchants and travellers on board, Reurus was regularly on the lookout.
A minimum of vigilance is required at night for Reurus alone, but not for others.Resting outside in a castle wall or in a place not protected by soldiers will make you uncomfortable and always tense.
In such a situation, if "Dragon Killer" - a person named unintentionally but greatly exalted as the Reus himself - walks around, strong anxiety will also be greatly alleviated.
Reurus has no obligation to protect merchants and travellers, and they are in a position to say they are just following suit, but that's why we can't just leave them alone.
Because although I gained fame over time, I can't ignore the reputation.
As for Reus, I wouldn't mind if I had a reputation for myself alone, but if anything, it would echo the reputation of the Baron Valza, not of Reus himself.And that also leads to the reputation of Elizabeth and Ruvillia, who belong to the Baron Valza family.
In addition, turning around could lead to trouble in the towns of Natalia and Speranza, leading Reus to a peaceful journey but unconscious days.
If anything, it would have been easier if the aristocracy in northern Mataroi, including Alice, had been cooperative and had never pulled their legs on the journey.
In particular, Alice, who was supposed to be a noble lady like Ruville, was surprisingly flat on her way.Basically, I ride a prepared carriage, but sometimes when I get off the carriage, I walk on my feet and laugh happily.
(I wonder if the lady of nobility is a race with more guts than I thought....)
Reurus twisted his neck wondering if the noble lady's education also included long-range marches.
Ruvillia traveled to other countries for a long time, two months, but that was possible because she had a clear goal of healing her body.
The level of danger and tension in the current journey and the journey Ruvillia has experienced is quite different, but at least if you are a noble lady raised as a flower or butterfly, it should be a huge burden to just sleep outdoors.
Even Eliza, who can now travel smoothly, was unhealthy and exhausted when she first became an adventurer.
Thinking about it, is Alice stronger than she looks, more courageous, or both?During the day, she looks healthy, at night she sleeps in the carriage, and in the next morning she looks healthy again.
I would never let her fall asleep, but as a realuse, she seemed to change her view of the noble lady.
"No, if you think that Alice is normal as a child of nobility, do you think it would be a problem for us... it's not a bad thing in the sense that we can protect our daughter-in-law's house?"
It was the aristocratic young man in the north of Mataroi who smiled at the feelings of Reurus.
The family is superior in terms of the Vicomte and Reus, but since there is no substitute, the Reus is superior in terms of official status.Even though he was older from the point of view of whether he would reach the age of twenty or not, the noble youth showed the attitude of treating him as a superior to the Reus.
Whether you are concerned about the revus of sleeplessness, or whether it is such a character, the noble youth also interact with the revus “while turning their backs to the fire” to guard their surroundings.
"In the first place, if you're being rude and not aristocratic, wouldn't that be the case with the Baroness Varza?Normally, the owner of a family can't sleep on his own. "
"Originally... I'm still going to be an adventurer.”It was restless to leave someone else to guard. "
Being in a "station" surrounded by wooden fences, you can be at least alert to surprise attacks.However, the inability to move immediately in the event of an accident is an uncomfortable story even as a revulsion.
As a result, the young aristocrat replies in a light tone and shrugs his shoulders, giving back a bitter smile.
"Thank you very much.It's also reassuring that the famous "Dragon Killer" will be alert. "
"Even if you lift it like that, it's troublesome.There are so many stronger people than me... no, really. "
At the end, the revulsion whispers.
Natalia, too, is accompanying Zilba.Reurus is optimistic enough to deal with advanced monsters if he thinks they're powerful enough.
"You're being modest. We have to take an apprenticeship."
"Hahaha... but are you sure you're glad to be on your journey at this time?Real winter is coming soon..... "
Whatever you say is likely to be favored, Reurus changes the subject in trouble.The noble young man nodded bitterly.
"I was accompanying you this time, but I was originally thinking of visiting a noble house in southern Mataroi when I finished using it in King's Landing.At this time of year, I thought there would be more time in winter. "
"The farming season is over... I won't be forced to ask you if you can't talk, but can I help you?"
"I'm sure you're right, but it's all about greetings."
"What is greeting around... uh, is that what you said?"
I'm afraid there's something behind it, Reurus.Asked straight out because he was not good at belly crafts, the noble young man deepened his bitterness.
The purpose of "we” is to say hello.I wouldn't have stretched to the south without such an opportunity... it would be easier if I could meet you in King's Landing, but some of you won't come out of your own territory. "
"I know you don't want to go to King's Landing... but what are you going to do face-to-face?"
What is the reason for taking the trouble to say hello?Young aristocrats look a little strange when it comes to Reurus, who runs into such doubts.
However, after a few seconds, I nodded as if I was convinced that the point had been reached.
"I'm sure Baron Amondola would ask... no, this is something.Let me tell you one thing, professor. "
"Please."
It was a chat of time until dawn, but Reurus corrects his attitude when he seemed to learn something.
"I see... from the point of view of the Baroness of Varza, a true wife can come from the Count of Velg, but don't you think that's the end of the" marriage "?If there's anything I can do, I'll meet Count Werg and I'll talk to him.Sometimes you will be asked or asked for help. "
"I guess so..."
Reurus nodded that it would be natural.
Count Werg - Louis became his brother-in-law, but it was impossible to imagine being alienated immediately after marrying Ruvillia.
"If there is such a strong connection, I think we will deepen our interaction by frequently face-to-face and exchanging sentences.But you shouldn't have the same way of dealing with all the other people you're dealing with. "
As he talks, the noble young man brings firewood to the fire.
"I think the Baroness Valza has also become more acquainted with the King's Capital during this recital, but isn't he close to all of them?"
"Indeed....."
Reurus hammers at the young man's story.
It's impossible to communicate on the phone or send sentences by e-mail like in modern society.
If the territory is too far apart to talk face-to-face, it will be difficult just to meet.Even if I send a letter, I don't know if it will arrive safely in the first place.Even if it arrives safely, it will take money, effort and time just to exchange letters once.
"A home with a deep relationship, such as a husband's or wife's parents' home, an alliance, a home that has no relationship with each other, has been a teacher of some sort or has been saved in the past... but it's a way of dealing with a close friend, unless it's" otherwise. "
"... that leads to this greeting."
"Yes, I don't usually get to know each other very well, but there were a number of houses where I could go out to say hello if I had the chance... Of course, I usually have at least the exchange of letters, but it's also very memorable for the other person to ask me directly."
"I see... by the way, what happens when you compare the“ distance ”to the person you're visiting, just like in your example?"
Reurus asking for interest. Then the noble young man narrows his eyes with his hand on his chin.
"That's right... from my point of view, it's my aunt's wedding house, and since then, I wonder if there have been occasional greeting messengers..."
(Auntie... my grandfather's sister or something.As for the relationship, is it really subtle...?No, considering Senpai Nicolas as the standard, I think that Senpai Sharon's grandson is close to the other person.....)
Because I don't have any siblings, I think about Nicolas and Sharon.In fact, it may be due to family circumstances and the relationship between brothers and sisters, but Reus thought it was a difficult distance for his family and others to say.
"Since the main visitor is the same generation as my parents, I will be connected to my mother's brother... grandchildren of my stepuncle."
"If you'll excuse me... it seems like it's a long way off... I don't know because I don't have any grandparents..."
"Haha, I guess so.However, in this case, the relationship is closer. "
To be honest, the noble youth nods with a bitter smile to the confused Reurus.
"When I visited the house that my sister, a six-generation old master, married, there was a story that the relationship was too thin and the other party had trouble responding."
"... rather, the other side tried to respond well."
The sooner he gets there, the sooner he gets to someone else, the more Reurus pulls his cheeks.
"Though rare, edges are edges... these opportunities can be used to create new connections.The messenger comes in person and exchanges words, not letters… and sometimes falls in unexpected directions. "
Reurus is convinced that face-to-face is important.At the same time, Alice's face was just behind her head.
"That young lady... no, that's what it meant when Lord Alice accompanied her."
Reurus nodded impressively.
Although the Four Woman, Alice is the daughter of the Marquis of Sardari, who brings together northern Mataroi.In addition to the aristocracy in northern Mataroi, if Alice had visited directly, she would not have been able to go anywhere.
The Marquis de Sardari should have a bigger name in the sense of a “new connection.”If there is the fact that I took the risk of travelling for a long time, it is a respite.
"... yeah, that's right.Hahahaha..... "
……
But what came back from the noble youth was a drying laugh.And when Reurus shows a suspicious expression, the noble young man slightly turns away.
"I hope we have a new connection....."
In a murmured word, Reurus leaned his neck strangely.
That's how you can continue your journey for over two weeks.
The outbound journey took about ten days to reach King's Landing, but the journey with all kinds of luggage was time-consuming.
However, the more days you travel, the less monsters and bandits attack you, the more peace you can call it.The number of merchants and travellers accompanying them also decreased slightly in the towns and villages on the road, and by the time the fortress city of Laval was taken as the present, the number had decreased to a counting number, excluding Alice and the others.
(I mean, how far are they following us?)
Alice and the others greeted the nobles and village chiefs in the towns and villages that stopped along the way, but eventually accompanied them to Laval.Still, is there anything you need to do in Laval Waste City? At the end of the day, I broke up and headed for Laval.
(Well, I was accompanied by my own soldiers, and I wonder if it would be okay to move around the streets...)
Until now, we had our own way of protecting ourselves, but Reus thought that the soldiers accompanying Alice and the others were just as skilled.That's enough to decide if a group of intermediate monsters are not attacking, or if a higher level monster is attacking.
(Looks like we're moving from town to town for now... but I think I should think “this way")
Reus took Alice and the others out of consciousness and turned to the abandoned city of Laval, which had been back for a long time.
It is a place as small, defensive and sparsely populated as King's City.But it was supposed to be the most calming home for Reurus.
(A little... no, it's pretty awkward...)
It is the return of Ruvillia, who became an associate baron and a right-wife.I don't think my friends in the abandoned city of Laval will change their attitude - I don't want to think so, but what do those who have seen Ruvillia think?
Naturally, I don't regret choosing Ruvillia as my first wife.There can be no such imitation.
But why is it that my feet are still blunt as I go awkward?
(... because Corona hasn't moved forward or backwards.)
Reurus is about to sigh as he groans at the cause.
After all, should I say?I didn't have the opportunity to speak with Corona on my journey.To be precise, Corona did not respond to Reurus' request for an opportunity.
Do you think it makes no sense to talk in the current situation where you have no idea, or do you think Corona is awkward?Chris and Tina spent more time with Corona than Reurus did.
Still stepping on his feet, Reus headed with Natalia to the gates of the abandoned city of Laval.It is a wooden gate that people in King's Landing cannot understand as a gate, but it is familiar from Reurus.
As the Reurus approached, the adventurers who stood guard quickly approached.Was the other party aware of the revulsions, or was it a smile that could see through the emotions of joy rather than alert?
Reurus and the others!You're finally back! "
That's what Tony, the gatekeeper, called out to me.He waved his hand in a carefree manner and approached me in a way that he could say “as usual.”
"I heard from the union president, but it took me a long time to come back.Was it such a hassle to be a Baron? "
"... no, speaking of trouble, it was trouble, but there were other troubles."
Reurus replied with a slight silence to Tony's “usual” appearance.Tony then leans his neck small and meets his hand as if he had come up with something.
"Well, should we have changed the way we talked?Er... Baron Reurus? "
Tony laughs hard, but as a revulsion, he can only smile bitterly.
"Stop it, Tony.If you have other people's eyes, it would be troublesome, but if not, stay the same. "
"Wow, I'll let you do that.When no one else is around... then... hmm? "
Tony was checking the faces of the Reurus, but his expression collapsed unexpectedly.The first time I saw Chris and Tina - to be precise, the fox ears on their heads - they looked convincing, but when I saw Ruvillia, I frowned with suspicion.
"That little girl over there... she's got one more.Well, it's always the case with Reurus.Now what? Somewhere you've been hooked up as a spiritual subhuman? "
"I understand what Tony is saying, but I don't want to understand..."
"Look back at what you've done... so?There... no, uh... there, young lady?Who are you in? "
It was Tony who didn't care about Chris and Tina, but it was Ruvillia.The gaze on Ruvillia was mixed with suspicious colors.
In response to Tony, Ruvillia tried to cut off the hem of the dress “as usual”.However, as a travel costume, I changed to pants that emphasize ease of movement, so I bowed with my right hand against my chest like a spiritual.
"My name is Ruvillia-Yel-Sec de Velg and I am going to be the wife of Reurus…"
"- Yes?"
Pocahontas, Tony makes his eyes round.Then he turned to Reurus, to Natalia, to Eliza and the others, to Corona, and finally to Nicolas.
…………
Nicolas nodded silently. It was a nod to affirm Tony's doubts, and after a few dozen seconds, Tony opened his eyes to me.
"Haahhhhhhhhhhhh!? When, my wife!?Oops, eh, eh, get married!? And the Count of Velg!?What happened in King's Landing!? Congratulations! "
Whether he is confused or not, Tony smiles as if he is in trouble as he screams and finally throws a blessing.
Eventually, within a day of returning home, Reurus brought his first wife, Ruvillia, back to the abandoned city of Laval.
