A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

It goes back a little in time...

Leila enjoyed a moment after lunch in one of the Royal Castle rooms.

Earlier, I received an urgent message from my parents, the Elvis family, and left a letter and a small box.

I was nagging after reading the letter.

"Oh? Layla, that sounds like fun.

"William, do you understand?

"Oh. Did you nibble... something good happen to you?

"I just got an urgent letter and a small box from my parents, so I was reading the letter for now... hehe.

"Damn, my wife seems to enjoy herself... will she entertain your husband, too?

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's about my sister.

"Leila's sister... you're Alice from" Fresh Red ".

"Yeah, Alice was proposed and she took it.

"Oh, that's eye-catching. I have to send something to celebrate.

"Right. What could be better?

Oh, but it doesn't look like nobility was the one who went on and was proposed.

"Hmm... not noble...?

Pretty good, I guess, if that Earl Elvis admits it.

"Yeah, your grandfather has allowed you to propose, too.

Personally, they would be noble, but civilian, but that would be nice if Alice was happy.

"Right. It's best if we're happy.

"So, it's funny how the suits are tamed.

"Ho.

"When the two of us went to the grocery store, they found the ring and put it on their fingers to try it out.

Leila laughs couscous.

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"You were both going to put it on with a sense of play... and take it right away.

But she can't take the ring anymore.

"What a weird ring.

"Yep. They had three rings, and they wore two, so they had a royal crest in them when they had trouble looking good at the third.

"Royal?

"Yeah. So, what is this ring to me? So the investigation request came.

"Hmm... as Alice in" Fresh Red "is good... that opponent is a problem.

"Yeah. If it's just Alice, do something... sell William to His Majesty. But I'll do something about it.

"... Layla, don't say that in front of yourself, okay? Because... I'm scared.

"I don't know what to do... if they lose their fingers, so will Alice..."

"Right... for now, why don't you tell your father?

"Right, that's all you got, isn't it?

If you ask your father-in-law what this ring is, he'll know.

They went to the room where King Azpur was.

------------------------

William knocks on the door.

From the inside, he said, "I don't mind. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.

Inside, King Azpar and the 1st Kingsguard were two for tea.

"Excuse me.

and go inside.

"Father, I'm sorry I came all of a sudden.

"Is that William? Hmm? Is Leila with you? Hey, what's up?... No way!

"My father-in-law... no.

"Well... too bad..."

King Azpar shows disappointment.

"So? What's going on?

"Yes, I came to talk to Leila because I received a letter and a small box from the Elvis family.

"Hmm? A small box in a letter?... Okay. Let's hear the story.

"Yes, Father-in-law. Actually, just now..."

Layla told William what she had just told him.

------------------------

"Um... there's a royal crest on the ring..."

"Yes. Did your father-in-law give it to anyone?

"No, not once since I took office... though I have a medal.

"But this crest is obviously made by a man from the king's capital, isn't it?

Leila cleverly holds the ring, and King Azpar and William, First Kingsguard, look and confirm.

"Mm-hmm. I guess the only person in the King's Capital who makes the finesse so far.

and King Azpar nods.

"... for now... you need to see why you can't take it.

That's what William says.

"You're right. Do you want to call Grandpa?

and King Azpar runs the decree.

Looks like he was inside the royal castle and people came to visit him right away.

One old man comes in when he knocks on the door of the room and King Azpur gives permission to enter.

"Excuse me. Your Majesty, did I ask for you?

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to rush you. I want you to look at the ring.

"I'm in awe.

and the old man approached the desk where everyone was gathered and began to see a lot with the ring in his hand, but his complexion soon turned blue...

"... Grandpa, what's up?

"Your Majesty... how did this... get here?

"Hmm? I came from the Elvis family with a request for an inquiry?

"... Your Majesty... this is... the..."

and eyes on Layla and the First Kingsguard Squad leader.

"... I don't mind. These two are fine.

"Yes. Then... this ring is' glorious'.

"What?... what is" glory "... is that" glory "?

"... yes.

King Azpar and the royal exclusive magician make a difficult face together.

"Father-in-law. What is it? What is" glory "?

"Mm-hmm... well, good opportunity.

I'm not supposed to say this to anyone but the royal family, am I?

"Okay.

"'Prestige' is simply magic that makes you feel intimidated.

"Intimidation? Not intimidation?

"You're not. Intimidation means holding them back,

This ring can put pressure on your opponent just to be there.

You know, you have a presence, or you feel safe just being on the spot.

That's 'glory'.

This magic is conveyed only by royal magicians and is not known to the public.

"?? Why would something like that come out of Elvis territory?

Leila asks King Azpar.

"I don't know. I don't know... Grandpa, do you know when this ring is?

"... right... about 15... no 16, 7 years ago?

"16, 7 years... or... hmm.

I'm sorry, but I'll be back once I get back to my room. Wait a long time.

and King Azpar left the room.
