Heavenly Castle

[Blau Empire]

A rushed armored soldier ran and stood in front of a huge stone castle. He is standing with his spine extended while sweating from his forehead and shoulders wide up and down.

"What's going on?"

When the soldiers guarding the gate said so, their breath also replied roughly.

"So, the decree. In the sky, a mysterious object flies… here, here, on its way…!

"A mysterious object? What is it?"

"Okay, come on, tell him up there! We're already in the town of Bösch!

The gatekeeper turns his back hastily on the sword screen to the horror of the soldier.

Jump into the castle and step on the dark green carpet quickly. As everyone looks back at the state of it, he goes upstairs, sees the person standing behind the aisle and raises his voice.

"Master Riggan!

The man, called Riggan, looked back and frowned at the state of the panicking soldier.

He is a well-fattened man in his forties or so. It produces a beard that is beautifully shaped over the mouth and has a sharp eye.

The soldier who moved in front of Riggan opened his mouth looking directly at Riggan.

"It's a decree. It means that a mysterious object is flying over the south, over the town of Bösch. It's coming this way," he said.

"A mysterious object? It's not a big dragon, is it?

When Riggan hears back like that in a low voice, the soldier strays his gaze.

"Wow, I don't know. However, I'm afraid if I were a dragon, I wouldn't be wrong..."

When the soldier tells him so, Riggan quietly narrows his eyes and pushes silently. The sweat broke through the soldier's cheeks and fell from beneath his chin.

Riggan, who was reticent, nodded with his face up.

All right, back off.

"Ha!

Turning his back on the soldier replying, Riggan turned around the back aisle and went up the stairs.

Up the stairs, two soldiers stood.

"Follow your lead."

That's all Riggan said, one of the soldiers quickly walked down the aisle and stopped in front of the big door.

As soon as the soldiers leave, the earlier soldiers return.

"Go ahead."

Listen to that word. No, Riggan moved in front of the big door. The door is already open, with a maid-dressed woman holding one door in both openings with both hands.

"Excuse me."

When Riggan said so and went inside, there was a large desk in a thick, carpeted, dim room, behind which was the figure of a long-haired man.

He's a long, skinny guy with about sixty years old cheeks. A slightly dripping eye reminded me of the skeleton.

The man, sitting on a luxurious chair with big backs, faces up with his hands on his desk.

"What's up?"

I heard a voice from a man's mouth.

"Sir, I have a message that an object flying from the south is coming this way, and I will report it just in case."

"Flying objects..."

The man narrows his eyes to Riggan's report.

"... do you have any idea?

"... no, not at all"

In response to Riggan, the man caught the edge of his mouth.

"Interesting...... you said you were on your way here. I want to see it."

To the man who told him so and stood up, a maid who was in the corner of the room leaned herself without a sound.

The man puts his hand on the maid's shoulder and walks past the side of his desk to the ligan.

Ligan moved only her eyes and glanced at the man's left leg.

The man's left leg had no knee to bottom, and he was wearing something like a prosthetic leg with a stick and a ring to wrap his leg around.

"Where is it now?"

"They say it's over the town of Bösch."

To Riggan's words, the man silently looked at the big door to the entrance and exit.

"... you're way beyond the border. Not that anyone would have noticed until then. So the decree didn't make a difference in flying and running a horse?"

Bumps and squeals, the man sees Riggan.

"Today, or tomorrow at the latest, we will reach the Empire City. Perhaps the decree preceded it because it was a flat ground with only well-kept streets from the bash to the imperial capital. Fast."

With that in his mouth, Riggan made a wrinkle between his brows.

"An object flying in the sky... this one only has the magician to fight it. I didn't shoot the big bow up either."

"Gather all free magicians. Depending on the height, you can't do anything."

"Ha."

The man shook his shoulders and laughed, grabbing the shoulder of the maid who supported him.

"Do you have anything I haven't seen yet... that's funny"

The man shrugged and laughed again.

[Taiki]

Guided to the operating room of the castle, Eira looked around in excitement.

"This is... I've never seen a room like this. Is it a room for the study of sorcery?

I'll try to manipulate the screen in front of Eira who says that.

Then the outside view was shown on the screen. Laughing at Ayla peeling her eyes at surprise, she turns the camera to the ground.

There was a forest going on for a while over the mountain, but apparently it went out on the plain. The screen has a meadow spread.

And, looking at the screen and describing the camera, something appeared behind the screen.

"... the city"

When she squeals unintentionally, Eira turns to the screen.

And I held my mouth in dew for confusion.

"... no way, the city of Bösch?

"You know what?

When asked, Eira looks at the screen to eat in and answers.

"Yes, maybe... those two big towers are the hallmarks of the city of Bösch..."

When they said that and looked at the screen, there was a large tower to the left and right to pinch the city. It's hard to tell the height of the tower because of the video from the diagonal top, but it seems quite large.

"What country is the city of Bösch?

"... it is a city as within the Blau Empire. It's a big country, hostile to the Atool kingdom where I lived."

Saying so with an anxious face, Eira looked at this one.

No, we're not dropping him off here, are we?

I stared at the anxious Eira and laughed to reassure her.
