A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 321: The King's Capital of Lovama Part 3

The King's Capital of Lovama is very large, as the size of the walls shows, with buildings of various sizes lined up inside the walls.

The royal castle is built in the center of the capital, surrounded by upscale mansions such as nobles and luxury merchants, and surrounded by buildings like happiness towns, shops, and long houses where knights and soldiers live.

These areas were about half of the King's Capital, and the remaining half had houses and small shops inhabited by the people of the King's Capital, blacksmiths and soldiers' training grounds.

(Ah... I was mentally exhausted when I first came to King's Landing...)

And in a room of a house built so close to the area where the upper classes of the kingdom lived, Reurus was sitting on a sofa set up to think about that.

The house is moderately close to the royal castle and moderately close to the castle gate. Built just in the middle of King's Landing and the Castle Gate, it was a house rented by Natalia on his way to King's Landing.

It is a two-storey house surrounded by walls of about two meters for long-term rental by aristocrats and aristocrats who have visited the King's City. Construction is made with plenty of stone and wood, making it an unbelievably sturdy building in the abandoned city of Laval.

Although there is a small garden, there is also a space for the carriage and a small stables.

It was difficult for civilians to rent, but it could be said to be a mansion of an appropriate size for quasi-bar Natalia to rent.

There are also lodgings in King's Landing, but this time it is possible to stay for quite a long time, and it is cheaper to rent a house.

Normally, you can borrow money from the nobles and acquaintances Natalia is welcoming, but considering the “business” of visiting King's City this time, it seems difficult to go up to the mansion of others.

Reurus didn't really understand the situation, but now it was more important to be tired of the "previous incident”.

Sophia and a group of Spirits who thought they were obviously waiting have already broken up. When Sarah refused from the front, 'if that is the will of the Spirit', Reus retreated surprisingly lightly.

To be precise, about half of the spirituals felt dissatisfied. But Sofia forgave it, and left saying that she would send another messenger at a later date.

With Sarah kicking Sofia's suggestion from the front, Reurus was very anxious about what he wouldn't put on his face. Although it was useful for the church in King's Landing on this trip, it was unexpected that Sarah's “sharpness” was so difficult to navigate.

Neither the orderly streets that were first seen in the world after visiting King's Landing, nor the well-maintained cobbled roads, nor the number of people and the volume of noise between them, were so impressive.

"Sarah... why did you immediately turn down that Sofia guy's offer?

On the first floor of the mansion, Reurus, who was sinking into the sofa in a room that hit the living room, told Sarah that he was surrounded by only his family.

"Er... no matter what they say..."

Sarah was running around with great joy because it was a different type of house from the one in the abandoned city of Laval, but she stopped when she heard Reurus' question. After a few seconds of trouble, she murmurs.

"... somehow?

In response, Sarah's eyebrows moved slightly.

Indeed, Sarah is intuitive and sometimes acts without thinking deeply. But you should come to King's Landing sooner rather than later and say "that sort of thing” to a clearly troublesome opponent.

Sarah looks up at the ceiling with her arms braced, and she roars as she moves her head to the right and left.

"What is it... I hate this... like this?

"... I understand"

It was a vague expression of Sarah, but Neddy, who was sitting next to Reurus, nodded in agreement.

"You know what I mean...."

"Yeah... somehow, I don't like it"

Asking for confirmation does not change Neddy's reaction.

Of course, I don't like the attitude of Sophia and Reurus. Rather, it would be the worst of the worst.

He arrived in King's Landing and was ambushed by arrows stepping into his feet, hoping for something.

There was no hostility towards Sofia and Sarah withdrew when she rejected Sofia's offer, so she didn't say anything about Reurus, but she felt like she got caught early on.

(But Sarah and Neddy reacted more differently...)

Sarah and Neddy's remarks seem to evade Sofia with emotion rather than reason. Normally, Neddy was still a servant with a small mouth, but basically the familiar Sarah had an unusual attitude toward her first encounter.

"Ah... was that good for you? How dare you not be angry with the impolite who obstructs the progress of the Baron?

The same was true of Sofia, who retreated lightly, but Natalia said nothing. When Reurus asked, Natalia, who was as generous as Reurus, smiled bitterly.

"The other side is“ up ”. I don't feel angry."

"... up?

"Yes, she's noble."

Reurus has an indescribable face in the words he returned. I wondered whether I should be surprised or joking, and finally I sighed.

"... really?

"What are you going to do if you lie? The eldest daughter of the Marquis de Farnes... No, I should have called her Marquis de Farnes now. I won't tell the Marquis to give way."

Natalia's face doesn't look like a joke.

Sofia is noble - it seems to be the lord of the Marquis.

(I'm a little scared not to say it, but....)

Reurus, who chewed Natalia's remarks, turned to Gilba, who was standing near the entrance to the living room.

"Jilba, Esther's sister is at the church in King's Landing, isn't she?

"Yes... at first glance, you'll see, right?

"You certainly looked alike. But I see....."

I don't suppose Zilba had any intention of hiding it, because he came out from over there. Looking at the light affirmation, Reurus walks around thinking.

(Was Estelle born a nobleman...? Speaking of which, I knew a lot about the nobleman, and I knew his manners well...)

Reurus remembers Esther's behavior so far.

Though I knew a lot about aristocracy and manners, Esther herself seems to have been born aristocratic.

That being said, why are you working as a spiritual teacher in Laval City? Such a question came to mind, but I shook my head that I shouldn't worry about it now.

(As far as Estelle is concerned, it doesn't seem to make a good impression on the aristocrats...)

In closing, Reurus sighs tired.

"So why did the spiritual teacher and the Marquis come all the way out here?

I was curious about Sofia's exact nature, but first I was curious about the other person's behavior. It was a Reurus that hit Zilba with the question, but Zilba's response was very simple.

"If you hear there are spirits, you'll want to meet them, right?

"... ah, yes, that's right."

Was it a mistake to ask Zilba, or was it only natural from a spiritual teacher or spiritualist?

(... eh? Do I really have to go into spiritualism?

It is a situation where there is no alternative but to enter, but Reurus tries to wonder if it really should. No matter how much you want to keep yourself and Eliza safe, you can't be as faithful as Zilba and the others.

(No, wait... if that Sophia really is a marquis, it would be a lot bigger to be protected by Spiritualism. There may be other aristocrats, and the “umbrella” is better)

Reurus thought so, but Spiritualism seems to be trying to stay out of politics as much as possible, and even with Sofia's help, I don't know how effective it is. Still, if the Marquis were to be on his side, it would be of considerable benefit.

--There will be corresponding disadvantages.

It was a revulsion to think about how to fall, but Natalia snapped her hands to block such thinking.

"I know you're worried about a lot, but let's get some rest for today. There's nothing you can think about when you're tired.

"... is that so?"

Is it Natalia's concern, or is the tone of his voice encouraging somewhere? For that reason, Reurus nodded honestly and decided to check on future plans.

"How are you going to get some rest tonight, starting tomorrow?

"I'm going to do something else because I have to go through the formalities and greet my acquaintance. You guys....."

I had quite a rest on the way, but I don't think I'm going to set up a holiday because I've completed my 10-day journey. Natalia looks at Gilba the next day as she says she will move.

"I've just come from over there, but show your face to the Spiritual Church as planned. Mr. Gilba, can you get me an assistant?

"Of course. However, I may be able to check the other party's movements first."

"I'll do it if I can. In that case, Reurus and the others will have to wait in this house...."

While saying that, Natalia sees the faces of Reurus each. And finally, when she stared at Eliza, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"No, this is an experience, too. Would it be okay if Eliza's daughter were here?

"I think it's okay, but I think it would be helpful if Mr. Collard were with us."

Collard, who would be bright on the geography and manners of King's Landing, could count on more than Eliza. Elizabeth has a lot of knowledge, but not as much as Collard, who actually lived in the King's City.

That was the thought of Reurus, but Natalia shook her head sideways.

"Collard can't be borrowed from me. I'm going to need a lot of help."

That's how Natalia smiles. Having heard the words, Reurus turned his mind to Collard.

"So, are you alright... when it comes to becoming the king capital of one country, the anxiety is greater..."

Eliza is the longest knowledgeable member of the Reurus family, but she is more anxious than anyone else.

"You can name me if you want."

"Uhm... well, then you can handle it."

Eliza nodded many times as anxiety was relieved. However, there is also a means of following Gilba around to gather information.

(In the meantime, why don't you take a rest tonight and decide tomorrow....)

Reurus said so - the next day unexpected visitors arrive.

"Hello, Mr. Reurus. It's been a long time."

Louis, the eldest son of the Värg family, visited with a smile.
