A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 751: Meeting between the King and the Emperor. 1 (At last? )
Several carriages stop at the gates of the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Azpur.
Several people come out of inside.
"Lord Callisto, we're here.
"Commander-in-Chief, don't I need a lord?
"No, I'm an advisor to the Imperial Guard (...), so I'm honoring you.
"Right. That's a good first trip though.
Other countries are good things again.
It's been decades since I've been here either.
"... you were with me then.
You can always see the castle here.
Emperor Katlanda and the Commander-in-Chief look up at the castle.
"Oh, the boulder is the kingdom of Azpur.
It's clean. The streets are also carefully crafted and the city is vibrant.
Good country.
"I suppose we are, too?
"Naturally. But different countries have different ways of thinking and habits.
I don't know how they can admit that.
"... it wouldn't make sense to say it now.
"Well... right.
I guess I'll have to enjoy my journey now.
The line was aimed at the front door of the royal castle.
A group in uniform on the doorstep of the royal castle awaits and one comes close.
"I see you as Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard.
This is Beresford, the chief of the King's Capital Guard.
I've been waiting for you.
"Thank you for your kindness. Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps.
I say Arhenta, who is under the general command of the Imperial Guard.
This time, the royal Azpur ceremony was held.
I have the Emperor's letter with me.
"Ha! Thank you for your time.
I would ask you to give the letter to His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Azpur at a later sitting.
We will deal with you until the standing dinner party.
Tell us about the Imperial Guard, which is said to be the oldest and most powerful.
"No, we both want to listen to and spread the word about the prestigious Wang Du Guard.
Nice to meet you today.
"Ha!
We will now take you to the holding room.
The Imperial Guard was headed to the holding room with the Wang Metropolitan Guard.
"Guys, I've got you.
"" "I've been waiting for you.
When the Imperial Guard opened the door they had brought in, the men inside bowed their heads and waited.
In it King Azpar and William were greeted by standing in the deepest seat without bowing their heads.
"Sa, Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard. Our advisor is waiting for you in the back.
And the seats are free.
Please relax until the feast.
"Yes, I understand.
Let us all be sweet in our words.
"" Ha!
That's what my men say, but we head back together.
"... no, you guys... slow down.
"... then me and two of you will be by your side.
Says whoever was behind it.
"Okay, that's good.
My apologies, Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Wang Du Guard, for my men.
"No, they think I have the same difficulty when I go to your country.
"Thank you for your heart.
I would now like to invite you to meet with the Advisor.
"Yes. This way.
The Commander-in-Chief and Emperor Katlanda are surprised to see who was in the seat ahead of them.
I recognize that I was older than I used to be but King Azpur awaits me.
"Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard.
I'd like to introduce you. This is Wang Metropolitan Guard. This will be Alan's advisor.
"Advisor.
I have brought you the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard of Katlanda.
"Uhm.
... nice to meet you. My name is Alan and I am an advisor in the Wang Metropolitan Guard.
This is my son, William, who is a deputy advisor.
Best wishes.
"Ha!
Nice to meet you. My name is Arhenta and I am worshipping the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard of Katlanda.
This will be Lord Callisto, who is advisor to our Imperial Guard.
"" "Thank you.
King Azpar and William. Emperor Katlanda greeted him.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Wangdu Guard and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard are having a welcome conversation.
Next to it King Azpar and Emperor Katlanda were also having a welcoming conversation.
"It's been decades since you've come to this city.
"Really? The Imperial Guard arrived at the 1st Prince... it was now His Majesty's ceremony.
I think the streets have been a little prettier since then.
"No, this city and this castle have always been beautiful.
The boulder is the capital of King Azpar.
Have you ever been to my Imperial capital?
"Yes, while overstepping, I was also accompanied during the ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor now, decades ago.
I thought it was different from ours. I remember feeling like a boulder, an empire, in the streets where the word strict resembles.
"Really?
Hey, you've protected me from people from other countries saying that.
"Neither do I.
The castle is the face of the country, a lot of fun and good stuff.
"Absolutely.
I've never been to the United States of Willip. Do you have Lord Alan?
"No. I'm afraid I've never been there either.
But we hear that a few countries are gathering there to form a single nation.
"Yes.
That's what I hear, too.
Should we see castles and streets as changing from country to country, if Lord Alan was right earlier?
"Right.
It's something you want to use your authority to see (...) during my discharge.
"Ha, are you using your authority?
"Yeah, because they don't make a fool of the cost when you go individually.
Then I would like to go while the national expenses are available.
What do you think of Lord Callisto?
"Hmm... right. State spending is a good idea.
Because I'm old, too. I think you'd like to go see (...) within 5 years.
"Really?
Hmm... then I'll wait to hear from Lord Callisto too (...) Shall we go to the Wilip Union together?
"Ho, are you with me?
"Yeah.
But it wouldn't be interesting to go (...) down the same path from us.
There is one on the side of the Katlanda Empire in the United States of Wilip and two for our kingdom of Azpur, but I shall look at the castle on the side of the sea and go (...) meet somewhere.
I would like to hear about the castle on the side of the mountain at that time.
"I see, that's interesting.
Then I'll give you the transmission from me (...), so you'll see.
And... yeah, yeah. I look at the castle on the side of the mountain (...) Let's go.
To be honest, I'd also like to see a castle on the seaside, but extending my legs that far would also (...) have no respite in time (...), right?
I'm not even going to have the funds for the trip (...).
"Sure. I will also spend 5 years (...) collecting funds. With that, you'll see the cost of somehow rendezvous with Lord Callisto.
If you will send me a decree, I will wait (...) the same number as the decree.
"Then the decree... let the imperial escort (...) go.
I have to tell you for sure.
"And I hope the money comes to a boil.
"Absolutely.
His Majesty the Emperor is also troubled to come.
"So does our Majesty.
He seems to be squeezing his head with the civilians by saying that the money flow is tough.
"It's hard to run with each other.
"Yeah. Absolutely.
King Azpar and Emperor Katlanda are laughing bitterly.
and the door of the holding room was knocked.
