Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
273 The hospitality of the princess and the old general
Princess Stephania's territory is a fairly large stronghold in the north. There is the Marquis of Foblester territory and where this is the central role of the North. Interaction with Silvatoria takes place mainly in those two port towns.
However, the fact that there are forests in the neighborhood where there are many demons makes the situation slightly different from that of the Marquis of Foblester, which places a specific weight on the sea.
The story is that Princess Stephania's territory is strong not only in the sea, but also in land soldiers. That seems to be why Princess Stephania ruled and Georg, known as the fierce general, is attached as an assistant.
A little while later, Georg, dressed out of his armor, apparently finished giving instructions to his men. He wants me to tell him a little more about the situation because he's free.
Georg was dressed but is quite a muscular giant. He seems to have a luxurious personality, but then his standing behavior was a person who made him feel the length of his relationship with the royal family, with a refined aristocratic atmosphere as well.
If there were two of them, Princess Stephania and Georg, I'd say the soldiers would have a lot of morale.
Georg is a Verdogal martial officer with the alias of the Rigid Sword. I've only heard the name in BFO. He is an anecdotal figure who, when he was young, defeated a group of orcs who had pushed him to Pioneering Village, blocking him on a bridge and crossing him alone.
"Now I know that ship belongs to Sylvatria... how did that happen? Isn't it too much for His Majesty to visit without contacting us?
"It's not like it's an emergency, but it's a waste of time to communicate your visit... His Majesty Eberberbert told me that he was on a journey and that he would not be forced to do so because it was a sudden visit."
Princess Stephania tells it that way. I was satisfied to see the reaction, and did you follow up so that the person below wouldn't be held accountable even if they weren't always fully prepared?
"I understand. But you could also say it was just right. I was hunting a big pig demon, and the cook was laying low on his arm."
"Wasn't that... for you guys to eat?
"No, no, there's plenty of it."
Georg smiles at me after saying so.
"What about this one?
"I'm late in introducing myself. My name is Theodor-Gartner. From the airship to this point, I was accompanied by an escort."
"Oh, is that Lord Theodore! I hear you saved His Highness Stephania's life from the thief! Nice to meet you, Ambassador."
"Nice to meet you"
I respond because Georg has asked for a handshake to brighten his expression.
A thief is... I guess I'm talking about when Roy. I don't know how far inside that case has been revealed, but the story about me seems to be telling to some extent.
"But I didn't know there was not only His Majesty Evelbert and His Highness Adriana, but also Lord Theodore. After a moment, are your fiancées coming too?
"Yeah, that's right."
"Hmm. This has to be very welcoming."
And Georg laughs. I was surprised by Princess Stephania earlier, but you say she seems like a samurai around here who already handles it well. If I grasped it, I'd say it was ad hoc.
Eventually, the airship approaches. It docked in front of the gates of the castle fort, from which the Grace and King Eberberbert descended.
To the royal family, the Marquis of Gilbolt, the elders of the Sage's Academic Union, the High Spirit and… when I look at the face again, that is the same touch on the part of Silvatoria alone.
"Sir Georg. Long time no see."
"This is Dear Rosemary. No change. Dear Mallane, I'm in a good mood."
Georg greets them both. Not only Rosemary, but Mallane seems to be familiar with Georg, smiling and nodding.
To see the reaction, Georg seems to be percentage-credited from Mallane as well. Well, I don't care if you think from anecdotes. He seems to be an interesting figure in what he is, a luxurious but gentleman.
"No, these faces. That's a big deal. I don't recall seeing anyone in this castle."
"Though I am now in the position of descending"
Rosemary covers her mouth with a feather fan, in such conditions as where the wind blows. Mallane is smiling as usual, too.
"Sir Georg... Sure, looking at Vegan's sister might be a good combination."
and others, Rosemary calmly analyzes.
"I'll show you to the VIP room first."
Where the airship arrives at the castle and everyone comes down, Princess Stephania herself will guide King Eberberberbert and the guests of Sylvatria.
We all took a breather through the stone corridor and where we were passed into the VIP room.
"Please wait a while longer until dinner. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call your servants."
That's what Princess Stephania says.
"Shall I make my promises by dinner?
Princess Stephania laughed bitterly when she told her what she needed and talked about the hidden room because her hands seemed empty.
"I'm excited about that, and I'm glad to hear it, but he said he's scheduled to leave slowly tomorrow, so I'd like you to heal the fatigue of your journey for today. You're one of my guests."
Hmm. If that's the case, let me sweeten your words. I decided to wait even for tea until time.
"You're back in Verdogal"
"Mm-hmm. Right"
Take a breath of Grace's words in a smudging mood while drinking tea. When I looked at it over the period, it was no big deal, but I felt that it was a long way off because of the thickness of the contents.
"There's something emotional about me."
That's what Elliot says and narrows his eyes. Will Elliot be returning home for over six years? I'm laughing calmly, but there will be a lot of emotions inside. Ashley was snorting quietly at Elliot's words.
"... I suspected Marquis Gilbolt and Sir Elliot. That's what I wrote in my secret book to Steph... and I must apologize for the sweetness of the stuffing around it."
Princess Adriana, who saw it, says sorry.
Well...... it is unavoidable that Princess Adriana at that point misunderstands, but maybe some parts of me would think that if I knew about the anterior and posterior relationship, I could have incited Princess Stephania's suspicion of Marquis Gilbolt and Elliot on the contrary.
"It's a bad word."
"Thank you for your concern"
Marquis Gilbolt and Elliot responded to Princess Adriana in a fearful manner.
I guess the hospitality wasn't fully prepared, but the food served was nonetheless splendid. The pork dish served as the main dish was well simmered to the point of collapse. It has a more elegant taste than the impression I get from the word "pork" and is quite delicious.
"I guess it was hard to have all this stuff ready, even though it was a sudden visit"
King Eberberberbert also praises the response to letting go. So King Eberberbert himself could stroke his chest that the men of the castle had done all their work.
"It just so happens that superior prey was caught in the hunt. Even for me, I am relieved to hear your words from His Majesty."
"Hmm. So this pork belongs to Lord Georg?
"Ha. I'm afraid so."
"That's Verdogal's Gangen Palace"
King Eberberberbert nodded satisfactorily when Georg answered. King Eberberbert and Georg apparently have a face-to-face, too.
As an age, it would be from King Melvin's generation or loyalty from previous generations. No wonder I have an acquaintance with King Eberberberbert.
"Thank you, Georg. It was sudden."
"Of what. I'm just surprised, but it's the creed that keeps you ready whenever and whatever happens. It's a shame the musicians weren't here."
As far as I'm concerned, I was happy with the food, but Georg still seemed unhappy.
I glanced at Illumhilt, so I nodded.
"If you'll allow me, I'll play something after dinner."
Irmhilt tells Princess Stephania. Illumhilt is also in the spirit of proportional service.
Well, I guess playing is something she can be proud of. Claudia gave it to me when I left Labyrinth Village.
Art also plays a hang-up that helps herself, but Sheila and I get along. Your experience in the theater will make you feel confident.
Princess Stephania is also here to see the theater once, so I know what Irmhilt is capable of. I nod happily about it.
"Bye -"
and a melody was spun out of the lute of Illum Hilt. There are many cheerful tunes due to the welcome seats. The repertoire also seems to be increasing well, with gorgeous tunes, light and playful songs and a single lute that plays it apart in a variety of ways.
"Hmm. This is good"
Tefra is closing her eyes and listening to the music played by Illumhilt.
"It's not a brilliant thing."
"It's been a really long time since you've had anything like this"
Old Siegmund and Valentina are in a good mood, too. He was imprisoned by a sage academic league, and there would have been no entertainment. Kings of Evelbert seem to enjoy the music quietly too.
... There was no preparation period, but I think that Georg and the others were successful in their efforts to cooperate with Ilmhilt... as a welcome. Irmhilt is not a person in Princess Stephania's territory, but in that he is welcome as the Verdogal side.
