Master of the brave.

When the size of the army to be dispatched at your previous meeting, and then the date of departure, the preparations from there will be staff and clerical work.

When Raul left it to his men, he went out to the courtyard of the royal palace alone.

The large grounds, even if surrounded by buildings, are lawned and planted with carefully organized trees by gardeners. Like the boulevard in front of the royal palace, the location of the garden trees, the location of the pond and the location of the fountain were all arranged exquisitely by calculations by renowned artists, painters and landscapers.

This was because at the time the Kingdom of Lyons was founded, it was sandwiched by two great powers: the Lemursil Empire, the Kingdom of Cassinato, "My own country has gold. We won't allow aggression so easily" because it made the demonstration mean something.

At a time when the country has grown, there is rarely a human figure in this courtyard because it is usually a space to entertain the eyes of royalty, nobility and guests, but today there is a rare gathering of those who serve the royal palace, with a circle of people in the middle of the garden.

As Raul approached the wheel, those who noticed the appearance of Prince Wang made haste to clear the way before him.

The people gathered were many knights and soldiers.

That should be it, too. He could not see until earlier because of the circle of men, but he who was at the center of the circle was a very tall old figure, a mitt called the 'swordsmith'.

Mito is a dwarf.

The Dwarves, even adults, are only about the height of a human ten-year-old.

But those who prefer to live in the mine boast a power that gently surpasses human beings, even if they have a childlike back length.

Now Mito was gently wielding his favorite Halvard, much larger than his own back length, in a streamlined motion.

The mite also seems to have noticed that Raul was approaching due to the sudden breakage of people's circles.

When he stopped Nanbu's hand and lowered Halbad, he turned to Raul.

"I would like to thank the knights and soldiers of our country for showing me your noble skill."

When Raul said so, Mito tilted his neck gently.

"I wasn't trying to show you anything else, though. I moved my body and looked for a big place in the royal palace, and I found this place. If you've used this place on your own and you've been making a scene because of me, you have to apologize the other way around."

"I don't mind. Your Majesty has told me to treat you as a guest."

Raul said, offering a hand wipe he received from a soldier who was nearby for an old Dwarf who would bow his head small in any way he was sorry.

It's true that it was getting noisy, but that's because of the knights and soldiers who gathered to tour his practice martial arts, not because of him.

"I was more surprised than that. I didn't expect you to visit my country with Empress Cornelia and Lettie - the brave Leticia - once and for all."

"What, I'm asking for an army to repel the monster ants out of the mountain. I'm a little interested in a young man named Lord Brave and his master. Over a hundred years later, it was a hundred million hijackings down the mountain, but I stuck my legs out."

Mito says as he wipes his sweat with the hand wipe he's been given.

Raul slowly opened his mouth to such a mitt.

"So at the end of the day, why don't you take on the game I was signing up for?

"No, no, no."

But Mito turned his attention to the blade of Harvard, which he had, after waving his hand gently so as to deceive Raul, who narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

"Who is truly the strongest of the three swords that the Temple of the Sword calls the" Sword Sage, "" Sword God, "and" Swordsmith "? I've wanted to make it clear to my servants when I was younger, and I'm certainly interested. Unfortunately, by the time I thought so," Sword Saint "had not appeared in the world, and the only known" Sword God "in the far south was in the middle of a fierce battle. It was a very casual thought, and I wasn't in a position to have a fight."

When Mito cut the words there, he smiled at the Prince Wang, who had the name of a young sword saint.

"Unfortunately, if the Temple of Swords fought now, the battle would be visible. I'm old. I've already passed you, and now I'm doing my best to keep my body safe so my arms don't fall off. If we are to fight the mighty, we would rather challenge the mighty than the old and the fallen."

"No... to Letty..."

"Seeing how it goes, have you already tried the battle and suffered a complete defeat?

Mito laughed with pleasure when he remembered Leticia and saw Raul with a look like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

"I can't even do it. That girl. It seems to me that even when I am at the height of my life, it will not be the end of my battle. That's the first time in my life I've seen such a bottomless weapon of war. Well, that's why I thought I'd go down the mountain..."

"Do you think even Lord Mito..."

"Mm-hmm. That girl is way out of standard, so I wouldn't mind losing. Young Sword Temple"

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The King's Capital of the Kingdom of Lyon is a port city that has developed in the marine trade.

For this reason, unlike townships such as Simlug, Krenad and Ertz, the imperial capital of the Lemursil Empire, we could see differences in various ways.

First of all, the street is far wider than Simlug's.

As well as the boulevards that run from the front of the royal palace to the harbour, updated by the Winns, all of the major streets were made wider than all the streets of Simurg.

The port of Lyon is also the largest in neighbouring countries, with supplies sent from the North and the South being brought in day and night. As a result, there are a large number of carriages for shipping to and from the Grand Chamber of Commerce, and the roads are made wide so as not to interfere with traffic.

And then the height of the building.

Lyon, which was a free city, built a new outer wall after it became the capital of the kingdom, as the population swelled up and the outer walls surrounding the town overflowed outside the walls.

Among its oldest walls is the largest port town of Lyon, including the Royal Palace, but many of the buildings were more than three stories tall. The ceiling is also high.

This allows residents to evacuate to the rooftops when the waters of the sea overflow.

And on the ground floor of the tall building, there were restaurants and lodgings that served food and liquor to the sailors, shops that mixed with those shops and handled works of art such as ceramics, plates, sculptures and paintings that arrived from distant countries, shops that handled clothes made of exotic cloth, shops that handled seafood like a port town, and other chaotic streets.

Winn and Leticia, who had left the royal palace, were walking towards the hall of the Lemursil Empire in Lyon, but Winn had his eyes black-and-white at the sheer number of people.

"Wow. I learned at the Cavalier School that the size of the population and cities is bigger, but the vibrancy and bustle of people is much higher this way."

Should I say that in Lyon, the atmosphere resembling the market that opens in front of the gate square of Simurg extends throughout the streets of the Wang capital?

Of course, it is possible that only the main streets are showing a buzz.

But if you go to the street behind you, there can be a pretty liquor store or whorehouse town, so I guess that's where you're showing a different kind of buzz.

The Kingdom of Lyon is an emerging country sandwiched by one of the most historic countries on the continent: the Lemursil Empire and the Kingdom of Cassinato, but in just a few decades it has come to shoulder with both countries, both in economic and military power. No, they say it's already surpassing the two countries if it's just economic power. In fact, seeing the vibrancy of the city was a convincing sight that the story was true.

"Hey, brother. How about a present for your pretty girlfriend? It's a jewelry shell necklace sent from the south. I'll make it cheaper, why don't you take a look?

"Or her!?

When Leticia turned her voice upside down, her spine stretched and her legs stopped when she was called by the owner of the store who wanted to go through.

Apparently the store deals with ornaments.

As the owner of the store said, necklaces, ear decorations, pearls, gemstone corals, etc. made from beautiful shellfish brought from the southern sea are arranged in the store.

"I'm sorry, I have a little business to attend to and I'm in a hurry. Make sure you let me come by next time you can take a slow look around."

"Oh, that's a shame. Then next time, when you have time, but come and take your time. I'm sure she's proud to have all the good stuff that suits her."

"Ha, I will"

When Winn holds Leticia's hand, he pulls to lead her and walks ahead.

"I promised I'd visit you again on my own, Letty. Was that good?

"Ugh, yeah! Absolutely! Let's definitely go!

"Yeah, good. Rock moaned that girls love to shop, and when you invite girls to go, they always wait a long time, but Letty still likes to shop and stuff, too?

"I might like one. My house has merchants in and out, but it's still so much fun to get out of town and look around at cute little things and clothes."

(Especially with your brother)

"Right. I also came to Lyon because I want to take a slower look around the city. Of course, I have a mission now, and I'm worried about the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the captains, not quite, but I'd like to take a look around the town of Lyon when it settles down properly."

Saying so without stopping his legs, Winn's eyes were poured on the display of the store standing next to both sides of the road.

"Speaking of -"

Wynn saw Leticia stopping her leg when she noticed it from her connected hand.

"I've been to this town many times, but you were with Tiara the first time I came"

"When I was traveling?

"Yeah. That's when I was invited to the royal palace to meet Raul. Then he, come after me. We're supposed to help Liara, who was captured together. Then we were supposed to travel together. It was then that I finally had room to take a slow look at this town..."

Having met three people, Tiara, Raul and Riara, I feel like the world, which was gray in Leticia, has regained its color again after leaving Simlug.

I don't know. I'm considered a brave man, and I want to go home as soon as possible, to my original place. From the days when I was rushed to go back to Winn, I got a buddy to fight with and just got some room back.

Maybe the city of Lyon can be called a special town for Leticia following Simlug.

Leticia stared straight at the direction of the harbor.

It was difficult to see with a man's head, but at the tip of Leticia's gaze, he saw a sea shining with glittering reflections of the light of day.

"I'm sorry. I got a little carried away by the sentiment. Because there are so many memories in this town."

"Fine."

Wynn nodded, looking in the direction Leticia was looking.

"I can still see the sea from here"

"Yeah."

"That's the ocean."

"Yeah."

"At the end of the ocean, there's a world of nations you've never seen before."

"I didn't look around at everything in the world either. The world is much bigger."

"I can really feel how narrow the world I was looking at was. For me, even being in the kingdom of Lyon made me feel incredibly far away."

Winn laughed a little happy to say so.

Apart from his dream of becoming a knight, Winn also had the desire to travel around the world and look around at various things with his own eyes.

Because the book Leticia brought out of the mansion at an early age had many stories of the protagonist adventuring through exotic lands. I still love those stories, and I cherish reading the books Leticia gave me before.

Speaking of gift books, the same goes for Leticia when she was a young girl. When she found out that Winn preferred such books, it seemed that she often brought books with such contents from the mansion.

"This is how I came to want to know the world, thanks to Letty."

"Hehe. Brother, you've always loved heroic tales of adventuring the wider world."

"Now, then, Letty is the hero position in the hero story. Speaking of which, it looks like Letty's starting to come out with the main character's book, too, huh?

"Ugh... I guess it's full of foot colors anyway"

"I'm Letty. I'm going to look through all the books that worked."

"Yeah? That's a little embarrassing, that. Besides, books are expensive, right? What a waste, huh?"

"It's okay."

Winn gave Leticia a slightly blushing look and peeking in from the bottom, with a slightly mean grin.

"The Grand Library in the Imperial Palace will house all the books published within the Empire. Now that I'm a squire with Mr. Cornelia, I'm free to enter and exit the library, and naturally I can browse. Besides, you can use the privileges of the Crown Princess to retrieve books published in foreign countries that Cornelia says she wants to read."

"Yeah, that's right."

"Well, read a book about yourself, too, Letty. So I'm sure you'll see how the public thinks and knows about Letty."

"Fine... I don't want to know anything else and I don't want to know... embarrass you"

With that said, Leticia dropped her shoulder disappointingly.

"There's also a bookseller there. What, you want me to stop by and look for you?

"Fine, you don't have to go! Besides, you said you had a rush to run!

When Winn pointed and said the bookstore he just saw, Leticia pulled Winn's hand hard and stood first and walked out fast. Hair tied to Leticia's ponytail in its powerful footsteps jumps a little bit to the left and right.

Walking behind such a Leticia, Winn tightened his expression after smiling, finding the Imperial Palace, which had begun to see from behind the building.

I am also concerned about trends within the Empire, but it is also important to investigate the matter of the stolen Konrat Heisenberg legacy, a request from Raul.

In some cases, the need for Leticia's power may be so important as to shake the continent again instead of the country. Raul, and Alfred, who arranged for Leticia to go to Lyon, think so.

An administrator said the Imperial Palace was waiting for Raul's reckoning that he was present when Konrat's research facility was raided.

When Winn stared at the Imperial Flag on the roof of the Imperial Palace, he strained his mind.
