Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Well...... As we head south, Elliott and the Knights of the Crusaders are also scheduled to ride the Sirius this time.

We already have an acoustic cannon on board, and we plan to continue on the road around it, including training the Feilongs to collaborate while they sail the Sirius.

Princess Adriana and Princess Stefania will also be accompanied so that she can also become negotiators with other countries, as Princess Adriana is also one of the heads of the Knights of the Demons representing the Silvatorian side.

It's the same as last time the old Siegmund accompanied them. The investigation of the demons is the main one, so I might notice something. As in Corliss, if some of you are familiar with the art of junctions and sealing, you can pick more hands.

It is also felt that Auria will be added because exploration in the forest is expected. Well...... it would be a full member from both the number and quality of personnel.

Floria was also able to accompany Claudia because of her contract, but sometimes the sun is shallow when she manifests herself as a spirit, which means that the burden on Claudia becomes greater than when Tefra accompanies her, leaving a message this time.

Therefore, preparations were under way at the shipyard for departure, such as loading water and materials into food.

"... a church sanctuary in the south"

Elliot looked up at the Sirius and told him to whine.

"Sometimes it's a mysterious forest, but it seems like a troublesome place inside."

Elliot nods quietly as Ashley says.

"Whatever's waiting for you, I'm going to do everything I can as head of the Knights Against Demons. I talked to Camilla, but she doesn't seem to be worried about me being away, and I can do everything I can to face the mission."

That said Elliot grinned a little embarrassingly. I wonder if there is a hand in accompanying Camilla because she can return with a transfer even if she is in danger, but will she take the form of protecting her absence this time?

It is unfortunate for both of us that Elliot will be vacating the house for a little while.

Rosemary's doll is guarding Elliot's house, and Camilla says she'll be doing cooking training and sword training with Michaela and Cecilia. Elliot and Camilla would be a reassuring part of it.

"Oh, there you are."

"This, Your Highness, Josiah"

A carriage came to the shipyard as I checked the luggage to be loaded onto the Sirius with everyone and Elliot. Prince Josiah came down from inside so I greet him.

"I'm sorry you're busy. I'm here to say hello because I'm taking a boat to the Duke of Driscoll's territory."

"Did you?"

"Yeah. You guys are going to stop by Grand Duke Devonis' territory, right? So my father told me to visit the Duke of Driscoll so that he could get rid of his worries."

And Prince Josiah said it that way and laughed small.

I see...... Although it is true that the territory of the Grand Duke of Debonis is to the south, so it will be possible to stop there and transfer to the Temple of the Moon.

When the Duke of Driscoll hears that, the Grand Duke of Devonis becomes stronger and weaker in his position, he is worried. Or maybe because the people around the Duke of Driscoll will be afraid.

So with Prince Josiah visiting the same time, King Melvin puts the emphasis on both, so I'll show him the stance.

"My brother's in big trouble, too. I always thought the bridging was going to be difficult because those two didn't fit the personality in the first place."

And Rosemary says, hiding her mouth with a feather fan. It was a strangely sympathetic voice for Rosemary, as she was supposed to be responsible for it if she inherited the throne. Prince Josiah gives the words a dry laugh.

"Well. Grand Duke Devonis values history and tradition, and the Duke of Driscoll likes new things."

I have heard from Rosemary before that Grand Duke Devonis himself is justified in character...... They say the Duke of Driscoll is a duplicitous figure, but neither of them hears so bad rumors about territorial management, etc.

Thinking of figures from rumours and such, does it feel like Grand Duke DeBonis has an old temperamental cleanliness and Duke Driscoll is not very adamant about tradition and such?

Sure...... I guess that's not good or bad and doesn't suit you personally.

I don't even know the personal feelings the two are pointing at each other, but if you've seen it spread to a place called the Grand Duke and Duke's, you've had a history of scattering sparks under the water. As Prince Josiah, the coordinator, you seem to be having a lot of trouble.

"That said, the Duke of Driscoll, of course, has no negative impression on you either, Grand Duke Devonis. I hope you feel safe going to the Grand Duke's territory."

"Yes, what is it?

When I blinked, Prince Josiah looked me in the eye and nodded clearly.

Sure... when I met Grand Duke Devonis before, I felt like I was done with a light greeting... would I have done something to impress you?

"Grand Duke Devonis is grateful to you for the equilibrium and dedication of the three houses. The Duke of Driscoll... has some problems with the way he expects you."

Prince Josiah laughs so bitterly about my doubts being conveyed. Sounds like it's time to get out of the boat, and when I saw the harbor, I graciously boarded the carriage and left the shipyard.

"... rebuilding from the King of Dead Sleeps raid has increased the importance of the Grand Duke and the Duke's house. So you mean the royal position has been relatively weakened. Conversely, now... without a royal family with you, we wouldn't be able to survive the difficulties, would we?

"Obsessed, that means Mallane's case."

I see just a little bit of Mallane with Claudia slightly dropping the tone of her voice and checking her luggage as she looks at her notes.

"... I see"

Rosemary told me the same story before.

In this case, is it still a relative one, but does it mean that the royal position and role have become stronger and the equilibrium has returned? The part of the assassination attempt that was suspicious of each other has also been resolved by the fact that the killer has become brighter.

So even as Prince Josiah, as a bridger, you can make some strong requests and move easily...... Not only do we have to convince the Lord, but also the Minister.

When it comes to Grand Duke Debonis being happy... does this mean Grand Duke Debonis himself wants a settlement with the Duke's house?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm refraining from a single case of the Holy Land, and I guess it's a thankful story that there's no trouble with the Grand Duke or the Duke tangles.

And preparations proceeded steadily, on the day of his departure to the South. A while has passed since the door liberation of the seal, but nothing has happened, and the demons are still moving assuming that they are keeping their power warm.

It's just a hypothesis. If anything, we'll have Grand Duke Devonis' territory bridgehead so we can come and go with a transfer as soon as possible.

There are a lot of drop-offs at the shipyard. Beginning with King Melvin, Tefra to Camilla with the servants of my house, Floria. Rosetta on the face of the Adventurer Alliance. Alfreds Workshop Group, Temple Witch Head Penelope. And so is my father and Daryl. The fathers ride in carriages without family crests by way of example. He snuck in to drop me off.

"Well, be careful."

"Yes, Father"

And say hello to the fathers. Next to me saying hello, Mallane is hugging Penelope, too.

Auria also talks to the face of the Adventurer Alliance. I know you're asking me to be away, but since Auria looks in a good mood, both Oswald and Heather seem to have decided to laugh bitterly but feel good about dropping her off, and there was a smile on everyone's face.

But Auria in addition to Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana?

... you look somewhat confused. The two princesses who are being spoken by King Melvin are gracious by picking the hem of their skirts with a strange face, but that is the face of leeway.

"Then you're coming."

"Uh-huh. Be careful."

"There you go, Serafina"

and Serafina and Tefra, Floria seem to greet as well.

"- If I drop Theodore off, I'm going back to the realm. I'm worried about the situation over there."

As I watched how everyone was doing, Daryl said.

We're going back to the realm before winter. My father doesn't like to vacate his territory either.

"Oh well. Then... maybe you'll come back to me in the winter."

"Oh. Okay."

Daryl nods and shakes hands with me.

And there comes Sheila and the others. They've also greeted Dorothy and Isabella from the Bandit Guild and everyone in the orphanage before they go out.

"Have you said hello yet?

"Mmm. Dorothy and the others say hello to Theodore."

"The kids were fine."

Mm-hmm. Sheila's the way she always looks, but she seems in a medium mood to watch her tail move. Illumhilt also looks in a good mood.

It's Theodore.

King Melvin tells me.

"Though to get information, I can't help it. I want to fight alongside my shoulders if I don't have a position after all, and if I have the strength... I just know it won't come true, but I don't have the nerve to see it scratched."

"Thank you. I don't regret it myself, so please don't get sick."

So smiling back, King Melvin also laughed to mock himself.

About the Alliance Lord. And about the leader of the demons. There's a lot we haven't figured out yet around here.

Especially when it comes to the Alliance Lord... because it is not clear why the Seven Wise Men took the form of a seal. I want information and time to make sure I don't misrespond.

This is why the investigation in the South will be ahead of the Bellion Dora investigation, which once the situation has moved forward, there will be no going back.

Wait for the meeting at the end of the drop-off greeting and look over at everyone. When Grace and I stood quietly and gazed at each other, I looked straight at me and nodded.

I'm not lost in that look. What will happen after you go south, and who you might fight. Prepare yourselves.

"Okay. Well, let's go."

"Yes, Theo, I will serve you"

That's what Grace says and smiles. We nod at each other, climb the talap and board the Sirius.

A ship floats on an old Siegmund ship. Wave to the people who came to see us off the deck - we were leaving for the south.
