Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 3: The Road to Cilentium The Lot Family's Travel

"Sister, are you sure you want to go?

I have to go, though I have a little hesitation in my anxious brother's voice.

"Yeah, I'm sure you're in more trouble to take care of me, so I need to help you, you know.

"... yeah, if your sister says so much.

Although I can still feel free to ask my brother to take me on the road to an undisclosed land, I can't think of a family of two, to be separated.

"Come on, Ortus, help me with my schedule, 'cause I'm done packing.

"Yeah!"

Does my brother finally have a stomp on him, too, or he starts loading the two lobby we have prepared with our little household tools.

I am Primia Lott, eighteen, a citizen of the Empire living in the imperial capital, and my brother, Ortus Lott, thirteen five years younger than me.

My father and mother were righteous citizens of Imperial City, but both left the world with epidemic diseases, and I have looked after my remaining brother while working in Imperial City Inns for salaries, reception, accounting and clerical work.

Although not so wealthy, it was two months ago that the two of us received an unfettered salary to live and go, changing our destiny for living in peace.

I was seriously wounded dying.

No, maybe he died once.

At that time, if that city security official hadn't been more dedicated to me, there would have been no life for me, and my brother would have lost his food and got lost on the streets.

So I have to do everything in my power to return the favor I received, so I decided to follow him to the northern border.

Of course, I think you can hang my whole life on that one, in many ways!

"Ooh, get out of the way, get out of the way. Yes!!!!

How much?

Suddenly it was six horseback rides driving down the boulevard.

All of them on board are in good shape, but they sound out of place, intimidating their surroundings and making nasty laughs.

The shoppers and bustling boulevards are surrounded by hustle and noise, and people scream that they can't be dialed by horseback riding and flee to the left and right.

I was asked by a chef at work to go home and buy ingredients.

I can't hold a lot of baggage and move around very agile.

Though I managed to get to the edge of the road, thinking is the same for everyone, and it's something that has rushed off at the same time, so many people get started.

I'll tell you what, I'm one of them.

Though not particularly dull, it is true that heavy baggage and sudden circumstances were tying my body.

I am thrust and begun by the people around me, fluttered and pushed forward in front of horseback riding, which is ill luck.

"Ahhh!!?

I screamed and at the same time was dialed away by a horseback riding who was running the lead.

Bogu...

[]/(adj-na, n) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Ahhhh.

After a dull bruise, I fly through the universe and fall to the road.

The memories from it are vague, or unclear, because I was in a position to look down on my body.

If that memory were certain, I would certainly have seen the whole thing, but it doesn't seem very real.

Still, what I saw later matched what I heard from people I knew and officials, so I can see that what I saw was true.

Two men rushed over to my body as the people around me screamed.

"Anyone can get first aid!!

One man dressed in a gray uniform crouches by the road, sees how I am, and calls desperately around.

I'm blushing to see how I'm constantly finely groaning, and I can't help myself, I can tell right away that I'm so badly wounded that I can't help myself if I look at my amateur.

There were scattered breads, fruits and vegetables nearby that I had bought.

My body spits a chunk of blood down the road with your creepy cough.

Though I don't feel anything, I can see my body's eyes open, dull, lying around but with tears still flowing.

Although the crowd is made, no one offers their help just watching how it goes in the far-roll.

The boulevard, bustling with imperial citizens, was quiet in an instant.

"... please get off horseback riding.

Another imperial security ministry official in the same gray uniform said without even trying to hide his anger at a person protected by five people riding in front of him.

The rider is a blonde, blue-eyed, slender tall beautiful man, but has a light of decadence in his eyes, the same eyes as a Yamato nesting in the back alley, even though he is a good figure.

The surrounding escorts also had a rough atmosphere somewhere, making them mock when they saw the official setting up the escort wand.

"Hmm, the Ministry of Security, or do you think you have such authority? I'm Vandeus Elt Lucilius.

Hear the name. I breathe unexpectedly.

He is the prodigal son of the Lucilius family, also famous in the Imperial capital as a nose knob, so called.

But the clan is lined up with high-ranking officials at the top of the empire, and his father is in a position headed by an assistant emperor, a billed defect that everyone frowns at for the excess poor predisposition.

Though he is an official who keeps the security of the Imperial City, I thought he was a person with some heavy loads to deal with.

Still, an official who lit his eyes with anger will not retreat when he hears his name.

"... I know, but I will investigate the matter of riding people, so I hope to be on the same path to the stuffing station soon.

"No, what's my sin when I call one common man?

Lucillius provokes the official who strives to spin words on the tablet.

Even the common people live!

It's a very terrible story, but this is the reality of the empire, sadly, but nowhere in the world can an imperial man live against nobility today.

But the official didn't give in.

"... riding on the boulevard is forbidden, and even if it was unintentional, the matter is guilty of injury caused by carelessness, especially if you were on a rampage on a crowded central boulevard, which is very unlikely to be careless, I order coverage and rescue for those who have been harmed, there would be a doctor with good arms in your arms, right? Please call me right away.

I'm, I'm really impressed.

There were still Imperial officers like you, too.

I couldn't say a word, but I didn't have to do that for me, so I thought I'd ask you to step back.

Even if this one's right, I don't know what kind of retribution it will take if it goes against the nobility's opinion.

I didn't want that official to have a hard time with me.

"No! I don't feel the need to do it to the common people.

"... I command you on top of one another, provide coverage and rescue for this one.

The official, who did not even move into the refusal of the nobility and dared to order, was lovely.

"Ha-ha-ha, are you going to poke at me, funny, I'll admit I did run the boulevard to play, but isn't the woman just mellow, you're forbidden to act in front of the rider, right?

"... that's just a story in an emergency such as an ambassador, an emergency report, or a public mission.

"It was urgent! I was about to leak shit.

Mustache, mustache.

Hi-hi-hi-hi.

The surroundings make an inferior laugh, and the citizens around them sit back and watch what happens.

The bad guys have a bad attitude toward the officials who try to persuade them in their honesty, they are being completely unscrupulous, and they are making fun of the officials by pinching even more reason, which is unforgivable.

"It's official business and no, I'm an imperial nobleman.

I was flabbergasted by the words that came out after an inch of thinking, but the official seemed to have a heart attack.

"So you can't hope the same way no matter what?

"Ha, of course, I'm not bad!

Son of a nobleman who tells you like you've won.

But at that moment, the official was riding on the horse.

What? How?

"Become!?

And when I kicked my son off the horse so much that I opened my eyes in amazement, I stunned the five people around me who stood up in color and tried to fly me down in the toilet with a cane.

The relentlessly vibrated wand seems to have stretched all the people around me, but I shake my head and stand up to see how only my son has been helped.

Still, he was dropped from his horse with a strong kick, so there's no way he's safe.

Though I got up fluffy, how my son went and went with a wretched buttcake on the ground again, Zama Amiro, right?

"Lucius, how's that girl doing?

The official seemed to see how his son was not able to get up for a while, and when he got off the horse quickly, he rushed under me.

"... not too good, if you don't keep making allowances like this, it's life-threatening.

If you are a colleague of a government official and are diligent in holding my body, I will answer you with a sinister look as I shake my neck from left to right.

Sure, my body's not going to keep it anymore.

Anyway, my consciousness is already out there, and...

The official puts his hand on the chest under my clothes so that it dares to wander, and then touches his flank and back.

I may be careless at a time like this, but I blushed unexpectedly.

"... broken spine and ribs, built-in seems to be scratched as well.

"Oh, I know that, but we're out of control then.

A colleague puts his face away at the words of the official.

"No, let's just do what we can... sorry! I'll rent you a place there!

That's what the official said, carry my body to a store nearby, tell my colleagues to pay for it, what do you do?

"... I pray thee to the heavens and the earth, that thou shake, and return thy soul unto the gods, and tear, and heal thy body.

As I watched with interest, the official said so smallly with a bump and touched my chest and stomach, and... a kiss?

What? No... but if you're an official, maybe... Oh, my God.

Weird sight of yourself being kissed with a bright red face.

The moment I felt like my official's hand was glowing, I was struck by terrible pain and I groaned unexpectedly.

Not long after I thought that the official's face peeking at me like relieved... was coming, I would mumble, cough, and splash a chunk of blood in the official's clothes into the terrible pain that had struck me again.

Still, the official did not look disgusted at all, and smiled and carefully wiped the blood, sweat and tears off my face with a cloth prepared by my colleague.

"Are you okay now? I've taken care of the broken bones and damaged guts for now, so if I stay at rest, I think I'll be able to move right away.

"Yes... thank you.

I managed to put that into words, but right after that, I lost my mind.

My brother told me that it seemed to be a colleague who sent me home and that there was no official.

Then in January and a half, my injury healed strangely fast.

When he recovered and went to the workplace to thank and apologize, he also learned of the fate of the official.

There was a colleague at work who was watching the noise.

The official heard the noise. He said to the private soldier directed by his son's father, he rang out his son's nonsense with a grand mouth, and at the end of the day he even said that he would arrest him if he did not respond to the inquiry, beating his son to the point where he tried to escape in front of him.

The private soldiers were also frightened by the abusiveness of the official, and they did not force themselves through that legitimate claim again, and still had trouble with their son to cry and ask for help, and at the end of the day they called their father, Sir Lucilius.

Sir Lucillius admitted to his son's illness and said he took his son after five days by promising to appear in the official's quarters.

I don't suppose the official could have argued any further to the senior official who admitted to not doing so and even said that he would appear before us, but how much did he free his son...

Five days later, the official... his name was Hal Akircius, and he was taken on a journey to the northern border.

Citizens of Imperial Capital, who were secretly looking forward to the upside of this noise, were also disappointed.

Citizens were all caught up in the tyranny of the nobles, and they gave their love to unscrupulous officials, but I was a little hoping that innocent officials like Hal and the others would still be there.

But the reality is harsh, and the righteous ally who finally emerged, dared not to lose to the nobility and left. Reality is really tough.

And the weak after the righteous side is gone is pathetic...

Ragged people have come to my workplace from time to time.

Of course, I can't move because of my injuries, and my colleague, a friend of the official, says your name is Aetius, but you can come to see me for a little while, so I don't feel that dangerous.

Still, someone once vandalized the house for the good that I couldn't move.

It wasn't stolen for some reason, but...

I also hear the neighbor's wife rumor that she's starting to see strange people.

Sometimes my brother got hit with a stone or something, and he came back from making a takobu.

As it is... I even remember that my life is in danger.

There's no more untrained in the Empire, and isn't it boring to just wait for the righteous side?

I will follow Mr. Hull!

"Sister, don't you just like that official?

My face may be bright red, but my resolve is unshakeable.
