Episode 404: The Tower and the College, the King's Tale

"... I have a favor to ask of you all. Please, could you help me?

After a short tour with Naus, Her Royal Highness Princess Zia says so and bows her head to us.

Speak of Yarlan. The identity system is solid.

Sometimes if you're a junior nobleman and a civilian or something, you'll talk on much the same level, and if you're a drunken high-ranking nobleman, you can't be mixing with mountain folk and dusting.

But still, it's basically impossible that the royal family should bow their heads firmly to the adventurer and ask for something.

Yet Her Royal Highness was now doing it.

We panicked about this.

"Your Highness, lift your head......!

I said it orally, but now it seems pretty stubborn.

I didn't raise it inside.

Of course, I didn't get the feeling that this was going to be a pain in the ass, but I couldn't help it.

I'm not trying to make power say things and do something, I just have to wonder if it's okay yet...

With that in mind, we listen to Her Royal Highness for now.

"... even if you said please... first we need to hear what that is... No way, if it's like looking for a rainbow, or bringing dragon shit, etc., if it makes it harder for us in the boulder..."

Even as Augley jokes, she prompts ahead.

I can't find a rainbow, and there's no dragon shit again... isn't there?

I'm like dragon shit.

I don't know where it came from after they ate it... but it's not a zero possibility.

... I might as well not have thought about it.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry..."

"No. But he seemed concerned about what Lent said earlier about the mask being a" god thing "..."

Augley kept asking further questions.

That's definitely where it comes from.

I mean, it seemed like the air was starting to feel kind of weird.

says the princess.

"A little, maybe we'll have a long talk...... can you hang out?

Besides, the three of us snort without getting our hair in.

Because I can't help but snort, and if you don't listen here, it's going to be another problem later.

Sometimes it feels like asking is a problem in itself... but when I get here, I just have to ask.

"So..."

And His Highness began to speak.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Do you know about His Majesty the current King Yarlan?

I started with the question. That's it, but Lorraine answers this.

"Yep... Your Majesty Karsten Rishon Yarlan, right? Surely this is your year… were you at sixty-five"

"Exactly."

... Whatever your name is, it's the boulder you remember until the year.

But you're old there.

When I say king, I often die before I go roughly sixty... the reason is that it feels so noisy.

Happy, but few, to say king dying of life.

However, a good number of Yaran kings die of life expectancy or illness...... they often die of illness in the true sense.

Well, this neighborhood's just been announced by the state, so I'm just not going to make sure it's really like us.

"We are still doing our affairs well and vigorously. They said that they would continue to do so, and that they would have no problems for at least another decade."

Oh, this is not good.

From now on, this man will say something that ordinary civilians shouldn't know easily.

I thought so, but I can't even stop it.

Wait a minute!

Because it's disrespectful, and you'll tell me anyway if you give me a minute.

That's why we listen to the Princess continue her dialogue.

"But His Majesty the King is not feeling well here... he may not keep it like this for a year..."

... I heard it.

We can't leave the royal palace anymore.

Connected to some prison, you live your whole life eating hard bread that doesn't taste very good while crying hard...

I feel like it.

but I know I'm probably not worried about that.

If I were to, I'd just have to tell you nothing in the first place.

Well, if I refuse to do it, Your Highness's favor, there's no chance I'll let you live close to that until His Majesty's fall...

Probably fine.

If you have to, you can escape outside the Wang Capital and use the Transition Magic Formation to escape to some other country.

I know the royalty of a country to the extent of Yarlan doesn't have the ability to look for people who have fled to another country without rubbing... that may be too ridiculous, but I don't even think it's worth looking for that much.

"... thats why the hell...?

Lorraine asks.

Because I can imagine that that would probably be at the heart of His Highness's request.

I don't know how it's going to get involved...

His Highness does not answer Lorraine's questions directly, but continues.

"There are two things in this country that the King should inherit when he takes over the throne. The crown and the scepter."

"... Oh, you've seen it. It was once published in the temple...... I remember that the crown was a beautiful piece of decoration. The Wang Wand... somehow, besides my thoughts, was something simple"

That's what Augley says.

"Yeah, that's right. In time, the crown was created by a famous Dwarf artisan in the old days. And the Wang Wand is a gift from the High Elf."

High elves.

It is about the kingdoms of the elves, the kingdoms of the ancient noble holy trees, the people who fall upon the royal family.

What would be different from the royalty of a human race would be that normal elves and high elves are in racially upward and downward relationships.

The royal family is no different from the civilian population in ethnicity.

In addition, there will be times when existence itself is revered because of its terribly long life and its involvement in numerous histories.

However, if you unravel that history in various strands, the fact emerges that people have fought with high elves in an attempt to enslave them, and that people have sold fights while saying that it is something that puts the very species called high elves under the human race out of religious conflict.

It's not a simple relationship.

However, it is certain that they possess excellent magic craft techniques, and there are various treasures everywhere in the world that they are said to have created.

One of those treasures, I guess, is King Yaran's wand to have.

"Such origins… but what the hell does that have to do with His Majesty's health…"
