It was not the welcoming folk, nor the brilliant princess, but the armed soldiers who welcomed us back to the Wang capital in the hangar.
Even if the infantrymen are armed against the Armunale, it doesn't make any particular sense by force, but it is a sufficient threat to the fellow troops who were in the Magic Conductor.
I ask them while I put the fuselage in the hanger.
"What is going on?
"Captain Erdo, get out of the fuselage immediately, disarm and come down before us. Captain Erdo now has an order forbidding contact with the aircraft."
"Where is it coming from?
"It will be Your Majesty's decree. There's also an order here."
A captain-like man from the infantry unit picked up and showed off a piece of paper for my fuselage.
I'll use the camera to check the contents of that form.
It was clearly stated there that the ban on contact with the fuselage to me and its duration were during Inez's prudential period, and the royal seal had been stamped.
Well, it would definitely be real. I don't even think there's going to be a coup at a time like this.
"Confirmed. Disarm and descend."
"Thank you for your cooperation"
Honestly, if you'd done it a little more peacefully, I wouldn't have had to be so cautious about this one. Are you in some kind of a hurry?
Get off the fuselage and deposit the sword you had with a soldier nearby.
Then the infantry moved away from the demon-led car and aligned behind the captain-like man. I mean, if I got out of the fuselage, what about the crew?
When I step forward in front of someone who looks like a captain, he salutes me. I gave it back with a salute, too, and shook hands gently.
"Good luck. I think I was surprised by the sudden circumstances, but this was also an order from His Majesty."
"No, if that's the case, there's no choice. So, who should I ask for more information from?
In the meantime, I understand that I have a restraining order for contact with the fuselage, but I have no idea how it happened or any other details. I need someone to tell me who can explain the situation.
That's what I asked, but the captain handed me yet another form.
Is that an order for me?
"There's more to it."
"Okay, I'll check. Speaking of which, the other pilot who returned with himself has the same orders?
"Not as good as Captain Erdo, but not least"
"Really?"
I guess Leon has also been unloaded from the fuselage by now. Well, I was somewhat anticipating this response. Even though Inez instructed you, you used the generator, which is the property of His Majesty, without authorization.
We will pick up the information we need on this occasion while quickly reviewing the contents of the order.
In the meantime, I don't think you should touch the fuselage until Master Inez's discretion has been lifted. This is pretty hard...
I wonder what the maintenance will be like, and this seems like a punishment for me alone, so the team mechanics can go without any problems regarding maintenance.
Instruct Mr. O'Rail and the others just now.
"Mr. O'Rail, I need you to get the maintenance done normally and it's okay, so get into the work"
"Oh well. All right! All right, you guys, the fuselage's falling apart and it's full mente. Looks like the captain won't be touching the fuselage for a while. I'll take this opportunity to polish every inch of it again!
"Uh-oh!
Mr. Ritz and the mechanics who were in the hangar raise their voices and attach them to the Armunale.
Proceed with confirmation of the contents in the light of that.
This order is addressed to me, but it seems to adapt to all of my troops in content.
Although the limitation of the scope of action is limited within the King's City, there is no time constraint.
The point is, because your princess is cautious and cannot leave the room, you are not to leave the king's capital either.
"I understand the general contents. In the meantime, after this, I would like to see Inés and confirm everything."
"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation."
When the infantry unit is gracious, Zazzle sets footsteps and rears the hangar.
As they walked out of the hangar, Angus and the others rushed under me.
"Mr. Eldo, what's wrong? Earlier people, it was slightly aggressive."
"Looks like you couldn't blame this one either as a result of dating this princess rampage. Those of you who just heard this are probably insurance if we get busted."
I don't think it would have happened if I had been raped in the Armunale.
I moved on my own in defiance of the King's will, and I can tell you that I can't help but be so cautious.
"For now, the restriction of movement is to spend time within the King's City, so you don't have to worry about it in particular. I plan to go to the princess after this, but what about everyone?
"We're going to the horses. I haven't seen your face in a while."
Looks like Mr. Bunois is taking Katrea to the stables. I didn't even meet the horses Mr. Bunois had. Combining with horses is also important if you're a scoundrel, and maybe it's natural.
"Okay. What about Angus?
"Eldo, I'll follow you."
"Okay. Mr. Bunois, I'll tell everyone in the squad if I find out more, so tell them we'll have a meeting every night."
Copy that.
Let's go.
I took Angus and headed under the princess to find out more.
We were sent to the princess's room. What we witnessed was a squatting princess...
I hit the princess with a frightened gaze, and Angus is opening his mouth with a pocan next to it.
I can also snort about Angus. She's a mistress, but I didn't think I was squatting either.
"What are you doing..."
"You're finally here. This is a campaign called squatting. Solomon said doing it the right way would stimulate muscles all over your body and create a less fat body."
Yeah, that muscle mole old man would know about how to do the right squirt. That's not true!
"No, that's not what you're asking... I'm talking about why the princess is squatting"
"How many days do you think Eldo had before he came back here? Meanwhile, I've been stuck in my room forever. It's only natural that you should be concerned about your health because you eat well!
I see, Master Ines should be back in King's Capital over a week earlier than we are.
And if prudence was told right away, would it mean more than a week early in the room?
If someone ever moves around vigorously hiccups, then they'll lose muscle, and will they ride fat?
I squat. I twinkle small with my gaze on the princess's stomach.
"I'm fat."
"It's a shalap! Think I can say that to my maiden!?
The princess pokes her finger at me, sweating from her forehead.
"Erdo, I think that's Erdo's fault"
"Uh, excuse me"
"Fair enough. If Eldo is here, we can move on. I'm going to get dressed, so sit there and wait."
"Okay."
"Excuse me."
We sit on the couch as we are told.
As the maids were generous with the tea and treats, the dressed princess returned.
"Please wait. Well, how far is Eldo listening?
"I just learned in an order that the princess is cautious for now and that in the meantime we are forbidden to leave the King's Capital. And personal contact with the Armunale is forbidden."
"Well, then let me tell you what I've decided while you're gone"
The princess explains what she talked to Her Majesty about while I was dropping the Kaylene base.
The content is amazing to us.
In the first place, I can't believe His Majesty is unwilling to end the war.
Besides, it's pretty shocking that they were feeding on the surrounding villages. If I make a mistake, I'm frightened to think that our village was in the same situation.
Did Angus think the same thing, or at some point there was strength in the fingers that lay on my hands.
"As far as I'm concerned, I want this war to end as soon as possible. But your father must have stepped through this procedure to keep you from doing so."
The opinion of the princess and His Majesty is in complete conflict. It was immediately understandable that this indefinite prudence was also to prevent the princess from moving on her own any further.
At the same time, the ban on Armunale contact with me probably stems from this.
I'm not proud of it, but I have the power to overshadow the war. You mean if you were free to wave that at the behest of the princess, His Majesty's plan would collapse?
If so, the princess's prudence can be considered until this invasion settles down. I don't know if it starts a week or a month or six months later, but in the meantime, we've been sealed off from any movement.
"What do you do?
"I won't... No, I can't. Now I am in a state where both swords and shields have been taken away. If you move forcefully in this state, this time they will take your neck off. Well, I'm not gonna stay like this forever."
"Saying?
"The seeds have already been sown. All you have to do is wait for it to bud."
Is there any trick being put in place?
I keep looking at the princess to see if she talks to me, but she doesn't open her mouth. Apparently you won't talk to me. The princess is pretty secretive, too, isn't she?
"What am I supposed to do?
"My knight wants to stop the war? Or do you think like your father, there's no choice but to fight for your country?
"I'll stop."
I answer the princess's question immediately.
When I was at the academy, I was shown the treatment center. I am not going to let you repeat that tragedy over and over again.
And I made a promise to my master. I'll stop the war and use the Armunale peacefully.
So I cannot ride His Majesty's thoughts.
If we have enemies in front of us, we will take them all down, and we will ride the Armunale to stop the war.
"I became a knight to stop the war."
"Then you will continue to be my knight. You will need Eldo's help. Angus will be in the shape of getting involved, too, but support Eldo."
"Of course it is. Put all my money on it, Eldo, and I'll hold you back!
"Hehe, my knight is a happy man."
The princess included a sip of tea, and said so and changed the subject.
"What's the dark story forever, and shall we go with the bright topic"
"Bright topic? Under this time of war?
If so, is it about as good as some line of defense pushed back? Even as Your Majesty, I didn't seem to have made much plans to be pushed in so far.
"No, then we'd be having a petite party here by now. Looks like we're doing a mass-produced prototype right now, but it's gonna take a little longer."
"So what is it?
"With the credit of this war, Eldo will be awarded a new medal. You just drove your enemies by my command, and your track record is certain. You thought leaving this behind would lower morale on the front line."
Yeah, I totally forgot about the punishment, but I hunted quite a few Armunales, too, and are you dropping one base jointly with Leon?
Besides, this one just followed royal instructions, and in many cases, if it were actually the front line, the field command would take precedence.
If I were to ignore this feat altogether and only punish you, I'd have heard badly.
"Even if we're just finalizing it, it's an unlikely battle if we're supposed to have one base on six Armunale planes. At the same time as the Two-headed Lion Medal, Eldo will be awarded the Knight of Your Lordship Medal."
"Your Knight's Medal? Never heard of it."
I learned all the medals that an Armunale rider would get at the Academy, but there should have been no such thing as a Knight of Your Lordship medal among them.
Even if I turn my gaze to Angus, Angus has his neck clenched as well.
"Well, it's a medal that's been around for a long time, but I can't help but not know because I'm never awarded this first. This medal is given only when a soldier has a special effect and never wants to let that soldier go of the country."
I don't want to let go of the country. I open my eyes to the meaning of the word.
The princess who was looking at me deepened her grin at how I was doing.
"You've noticed."
"Are you noble?"
What can I do if I don't want to let go of the country? All you have to do is serve it to the nobles.
It may be our only chance for civilians to become aristocrats. If that's the case, there won't be any civilians to say no. If you become a nobleman, you will get a salary for that title, and you will get the right to freely buy land and various privileges.
"A knight, a throne that cannot be subjugated. This title was given before when the king was of previous generations. Eighty years ago."
I know Your Majesty doesn't want to give you the Knight's Medal right now, but I didn't know you'd ever come out in a previous generation. I guess it would be honorable to be awarded this medal so much.
Well, from your current sire, it wouldn't be a hassle. You pulled me away from the front line because you didn't like the protruding power, and it's like showing me that I've achieved the best possible outcome - isn't that too much resentment buying from your majesty?
Imagine a scare running on my spine.
From what I see now, Your Majesty, I am completely a tumor above my eyes. Will you leave such a presence alone forever? I'd turn it off. Definitely turn it off.
"Um."
"What?"
"How neglected are you, your majesty now?
When asked, the princess smiles nicely when she puts her hand on her chin to show a slightly thought bare gesture.
"Pretty much."
"Specifically... abduction or assassination?
As soon as I heard that, Angus' face became slightly bluer.
I want to be blue, too. I want to be bright blue and still pull into my room.
"You're pretty sure they resent you, but you don't have to be so anxious."
"Why is that?
"You are my knight. On top of that, an important figure whose medal is to be awarded to your knight. Try assassinating someone like that, the whole Wang capital will panic, and if you suck, the front will collapse. Above all, I am not silent. Oh, but don't get too distracted. Eldo must be pretty neglected by the Empire, and there's no chance of an assassin being sent in."
"It's okay! Eldo, I won't let you touch one finger!
Anjou's declaration is very reliable.
I mean, the invasion of my empire is bouncing back. That's natural to be resented.
But that's a good place to resent! He's just repelling the enemy we're invading! I didn't attack you in the first place!
"Yeah, please. Well, that's the thing, so be careful not to get tired."
"Okay."
I guess it's best to defend yourself.
"So, to get back to you, the award of your Knight's Medal should take place soon. I'll catch up with you when I have a detailed schedule."
"Please"
"I wonder if this is about it. Well, think of it as a long vacation for a while and stretch your wings as much as you want. I don't think the war will be over in a month or two, and I might as well call your parents from the country."
Well, it's forbidden for us to leave the king's capital, but calling someone to the king's capital isn't a violation or anything, is it?
Then you might want to take this opportunity all the way to the wedding at once...... no, you want to do the wedding with a little more calm.
Looking at how Angus is, I am honestly delighted to be told that I can call my parents.
Would you like to take the time to discuss this area as well? We have plenty of time anyway.
Once our war was over, a long break was about to begin.
