Black Haired King

268 words reward

"It's been a while since I've been back."

"Right, Lady Redius."

I squeal unexpectedly at the view of the King's Capital, which I can see through the window of the carriage, for the first time in a month or so. Rona reacted to that, too. I can see some relief.

Fight against the mysterious silver-haired man in the Duke of Septemberme territory to crusade the Dead Dragon. How many times did you think you would die in this short period of time? Rona needs to be careful with my escort. I would be pretty tired. I'm sorry this is going to go on until we get back to the realm.

You can rest a little in Wang Du. The Helenas are overwhelmed with desire to see each other very quickly, but I don't feel like making Rona struggle with that. Lorna's an important family, too.

Besides, Rona still cares about what's happening in Duke territory. Nearly a week's journey from the Duke's territory, but in the meantime I thought I could blow it off. I didn't say anything, but, well, it didn't seem to blow off.

You mean there's a little distance between you and Rona from that day on, or is Rona dark? I need to talk to Rona a little bit when I'm settled after the sight.

Then me and Rona watch the view from the carriage in silence. Wang Du hasn't changed that much in January. Though there are many more stores, nothing has changed significantly.

Looking at Royal Castle until he reached it, Rona went to the window and looked for something. I was surprised by the momentum. Because I was desperate not to see much.

"Duh, what's up, Rona?

"Oh, no, I thought you might have seen someone I know, but it was different."

Asked terribly, it was those words that brought me home. Laughing and shaking her head, Rona, but I know you obviously care. When I was wondering what I was going to do to see if I could keep asking, I got to the royal castle.

I'm a little concerned about Rona, but I'll finish my report to His Majesty first. When the carriage reaches the parking lot inside the royal castle, the door opens from the outside.

In keeping with that, I get off the carriage. Lorna can't follow her, so she waits in the carriage.

"I've been waiting, Count Arnold"

When I asked Rona to get off about the carriage, General Raven was waiting for me there. Behind it was also General Kayness.

"Long time no see, General Raven, General Kayness. I've done my job safely."

"Oh, it's conveyed with a touch from the kingdom of Torness. But it seems His Majesty would like to hear a report from you. Let's go because we're waiting."

That's what I'm saying. General Raven advances inside the royal castle. I'll follow. A few minutes into the rather complex royal castle, following General Raven, someone came out of the aisle on the right in a crossroads corridor. It was the Wristnick Marquis who came out. Bring a nobleman in the back who seems to be a sitting son.

"Oh, Wristnick Marquis. You, too, between the thrones?

"... General Raven. Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna let you go first."

The Wristnick Marquis stares at us before moving on. Hey, you hate me more than I thought. The Ravens, too, but I was also seen with malicious eyes.

We also reached the Throne Room after those Wristnick Marquises. His Majesty already seemed to be inside, and he was put inside without any particular waiting.

I go inside, go all the way around the middle, then on one knee and bow my head.

"Give me the face. Coming back often, Count Arnold. Well done. You served as a reinforcement. It says in a letter from King Torness that the Dead Dragon could not have been defeated without it."

"Well, I did what I had to do."

"Um, I know. But it said you wanted a good appreciation of how it worked. General Raven."

"Yes. Here."

When His Majesty told General Raven, General Raven came with something. Pass that to Your Majesty. It's like a sword I handed it to you.

"Count Arnold is also famous as a swordsman. In the treasure trove, General Raven found a sword that could be used in action. Name it Demon Sword Idea. I'll leave this to you."

His Majesty said so and stood up from the throne and came before me. And he offers it to me. There can be no such thing as getting something directly from His Majesty. The nobles around us are making a scene, too. In it I receive my sword with both hands with a dignified head down.

There are, of course, unique signs from an idea that weighs more than Schwartz. You'll know better than that if you pull it out, but this would be a pretty hard sword to handle. I want to swing fast.

"I want you to use that sword and work for your country in the future."

"Ha, risking your life"

His Majesty returns to the throne satisfied when he hands me his sword. It's going to end like this, but there's still something I need to tell you.

"Your Majesty, I have actually deposited a letter from the Duke of Septembalm. Would you mind reading that one?

"Hmm, from the Duke? Of course."

His Majesty gives instructions to a nearby civilian, who will come to me. I take a letter from the Duke of Septembalm out of my nostalgia and give it to a civilian. I have to explain this.
