Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 35: Running Down

A little south of the Adernia Peninsula, there is an island called Triscieria.

A little further south from that island is a country called Pofenia.

It is a republic in which the aristocrats of the aristocracy are in charge of state affairs.

Pofenia is a large maritime nation, with significant economic disparities between nobles engaged in marine trade and ordinary people engaged in agriculture and livestock, with nobles and ordinary people being clearly separated and distinguished.

A specific example is the participation of ordinary people in politics.

Only the aristocracy can be a member of the Senate; ordinary people cannot be members of the Diet or vote.

The number of land and slaves that can be owned is also different between nobles and ordinary people.

And nobles and ordinary people cannot marry.

I say twice about important things.

Nobles and ordinary people cannot marry.

Alexios Barka is a nobleman of Pofenia.

Born in a famous family that produced many soldiers, he himself is a soldier.

The first team was 12 years old. Since then, he has commanded a number of martial arts leaders in fifteen.

Since then, he has participated in numerous naval and land battles to win victory, and is now one of the leading generals in Pofenia.

Anyone who sees him for the first time always looks at his right eye.

He has an eye patch on his right eye.

He has an eyepatch on his right eye since he was attentive.

The two names with "Knight of One Eye"

Appearing beautifully, well-armed, promising, and eye-catching.

There is no woman who leaves such a man.

A number of Pofenian aristocrats attacked him ...

He turned down all that.

Matchmaking provided by the house is also kicked with a word "I am not interested".

When asked why he would not marry, he said:

"I'm not interested in women. A good boy is good."

There is a woman named Melia among the sorcerers of Pofenia.

There is no surname. Because it is a commoner.

Her buddy is three.

A so-called wolf dog born from crossing a wolf and a dog.

An owl about fifty Celica (50 centimeters).

Finally, a giant hawk that is 120 centimeters long (120 centimeters).

Her hawk is useful in air combat because it has no enemies and good eyes.

Although still 22 years old, she has made a significant contribution to the Pofenian army and has been called the "Falconer".

She receives requests for marriage on a daily basis.

Of course.

No man leaves a sorcerer looking promising. It is even more so if you say it is beautiful.

Magical talent is said to be inherited.

So she is very popular.

But she continued to decline all marriages.

She refused even marriage from a house that was rich among the commoners and might be lined up by the nobility.

Someone asked her.

Why not get married?

"I'm not interested in men. I like animals."

Late at night.

The crescent moon, a symbol of Pofenia, shines in the night sky.

While most Pofenians were asleep, there were two people sneaking.

Alexios and Melia.

"I wanted to see you, Melia !!"

"Me too, Alexios!"

The two embrace and kiss each other, as if they were uttering onomatopoeia.

A crescent illuminates the area around them with care.

After about five minutes of flirting, the two entered the main subject.

"Tomorrow morning, a boat will be staying in the harbor for Trisqueria. When we get to Trisiceria, we will walk to the Christian colony in Trisiceria, and from there we will board the boat again to the Adernia Peninsula.

"I know. That's why I'm a perverted pervert."

"I'm supposed to be a male colorist, too."

The two laugh.

The two met during the war.

Melia was dispatched as an exclusive sorcerer for Alexios's unit.

They quickly became attracted and loved each other, but ...

They are a nobleman and a commoner.

I can't get married.

I really want to get married, but it's impossible to get married even in a concubine. Pofenia is prohibited by law from marriage.

However, it is a big principle that you can not marry a commoner, so even if it is recognized, you will not be able to marry.

Once their relationship is known, they will be separated.

So they lied.

However, recently it has become less deceptive.

So they planned a "run down".

It is a place to run first, but Pofenia home country is out of the question. He considered the colonial city abroad in Pofenia as one of the candidates, but was removed from the list because his appearance was so different.

The second candidate is the Persian Empire.

It is a superpower in the east and destroyed the former sovereignty of Pofenia.

So Pofenia is not hostile ...

The Persis Empire protects Pofenians' foreign trade.

The two countries have good relations.

The probability of success is high because of the large number of ships to Persis.

But it's too far.

It takes courage to escape to a place where the language and culture are different.

Therefore, the third candidate was Greece.

Pofenia and the Christian nations are not on good terms.

This is because they are friends against sea trade.

Nevertheless, Aluxios has also fought with the Russian army.

Therefore, it was considered dangerous to escape to the homeland of the Greeks.

So they decided to go to exile in a colonial city on the Adernia Peninsula of the Christians.

The Adernia Peninsula is rural and few people will know their names.

I thought so.

"But is it really good? I don't really like family, but I'm okay ... do you have a decent family?"

"What are you doing now ... I'm supposed to be a bestiale? Who's married except you?"

"Hah, that's it. You are the only one who will marry me in a man-colored setting."

The two decided.

The next day, news ran throughout Pofenia that men and women of nobility and commoners had disappeared.

A large search was carried out by the Pofenian Army, and an order was circulated to the city of Pofenia, but it could not be found.
