Black Haired King

138 Stories Haunted Shapes

After the pro-good battle, a week passed since I left the kingdom of Torness. The return journey within the kingdom of Tornez did not cause any special problems, and the border between Tornez-Albust could be crossed.

There was nothing special in the carriage with us, it was just all shaken up. Even now I take care of my own black sword, Gawayne goes to bed, and the women talk a lot.

I should be there soon enough in time...... If that's what you think, suddenly the carriage stops. And when a knight runs one horse from before, and he reaches Septembalm territory soon enough, he informs me.

"Finally, Lady Redius."

"Right. Get ready for Helena and the others to come down. Hey, Gawayne, it's time to get up. We're going to Septembalm territory."

"... uhm? Finally. Huh, I'm tired."

When Gawayne wakes up, she stretches her body wide. Then, 20 minutes before the carriage rocks you, you can see a big outer wall from our carriage. Looks like the previous one is already in Septiembalm territory. That's a carriage your majesty rides.

Then one carriage after another enters Septembalm territory. Our carriage will continue later.

"... Is something wrong?

Victoria leaning her neck as the carriage takes her along the territory. Number one in this. If Victoria, who knows about this city, thinks it's strange, I guess there's something.

"What's wrong, Victoria?

"Yeah, well, I kind of feel like there's more armed soldiers than usual."

A lot of armed soldiers? But isn't that normal? I must have told you His Majesty was coming. Isn't it because of that?

"You're gonna be okay. There's His Majesty, so you're not just doing a lot?

"... I hope so"

Though I care a little about Victoria who thinks a little, I'll be ready to come down, too. But is that why there are so many soldiers? It would be nice if I were like I said, but don't worry a little about it for any other reason.

With that in mind, I arrived at the Septemberme residence, which I also used when I went there. There, the Duke of Septembalm stands with his minister, before which His Majesty's carriage stops.

"Thank you for the welcome, Duke of Septiembalm."

"Ha, happy to have you back safely"

When His Majesty gets out of the carriage, the soldiers salute at the same time. When all the students who participated in the pro-good battle also descend, the ladies of the Septembalm family come and take them each. Leave us... why?

"Speaking of which, what happened to the number of these soldiers? Was there some kind of incident?

While he cares about us, His Majesty asks the Duke of Septembalm what he wonders. Then the Duke of Septembalm...

"Yeah, there was. There's a hell of a big case..."

The Duke of Septembalm says that much, he sees us. To be exact, it's mine.

"Baron Redius Arnold!

"Ha, ha!

I suddenly respond to what I've been called. Did I do something? Without a clue, the Duke of Septembalm walks right in front of me.

"Oh, Father, what the hell is this..."

"Victoria shut up. Baron Arnold. Lord, you and Victoria went out on our way, didn't you?

The two of us... Yeah, that's when Victoria showed us to Mr. Dangen to get the weapon.

"You seem to have an idea. Because of that, all over the city, Victoria has a new man! Naturally, the matter has been flown by merchants and reached Wang Capital as well. A nobleman in King's Landing asked me what I was going to say!

Neither me nor Victoria opened their mouths. Why is it so important when just a few of us went shopping?

And soldiers twisting around at some point. One order from the Duke of Septembalm is about to jump in.

"Father, please don't! Sure, me and Redius, um, went shopping, but not yet, that kind of relationship!

"Victoria, whether it's related or not, it doesn't matter now. It's a problem when rumors like that get around. Not to mention when Victoria hasn't been that long since we lost the story of her engagement to Prince William.

In the King's Capital, some people say you're no longer engaged to Prince William because of Victorian men's games. "

Daimyo, the Duke of Septembalm says, I guess there are aristocrats out there who don't like me. But that's too pathetic for Victoria. It's my fault, too, but Victoria won't be able to deal with me if rumors like that get around.

Not to mention that the prince has broken my engagement once. Even though the person whose engagement has been broken is said to be repelled, if such rumors spread on top of that.

"It's not all your fault. Naturally, Victoria has nothing to do with it. But with all these rumors circulating, Victoria won't find anyone else. So!... Guuuuu..."

The Duke of Septembalm looks at me as he turns a bright red face. It stains with more angry colors than I've ever seen before. A flame is going to erupt from my face.

"You take responsibility and marry Victoria as First Lady!
