The area with the Count's residence is a luxury residential area, so incredibly long walls can follow. It's just a little different when people ask if this is the "heart of the Holy Capital".
There is a "Holy Royal Palace" in the heart of the Holy Capital, which also includes the "Day Altar", where the Holy King lives.
Only a very small number of people are allowed into the Holy Royal Palace, and the Earl of Sullies said only a few times a year (still that it is considerably more among the nobles).
It was separated from the center by walls, like an annual wheel, and existed from the "1 wall" to the "8 wall", which of course prevents the entry of external enemies on the walls, but the Holy City attracts many people, so many houses are built outside the "8 walls".
There is a "1 wall" surrounding this Holy King's Palace, and on the outside there is a "floor" which carries out the government of the Holy King of Kulvern, as well as various "central authorities" and a "Privy Church". Often, it is here that the Count passes, called the "1st Sanctuary". "St. Royal Palace" in the center, counting from there first, so "1st Sanctuary".
Kasumigakashi in Japan.
On the outside of the "2 walls" there was the "Central Church of the Holy City" and it was said that this was the largest and most serious place of faith in the Holy City. The "Privy Church" is dedicated to the nobles, and they're not that big —— well, in a country where genius pearls pop out of the altar (I've said it many times, but I don't know if it has sound effects), you can't help but pray to God. The altar that everyone wants to pray for is strictly controlled to pound out gifted pearls.
Going today is a dinner party venue between the "2 Walls" and the "3 Walls" near the "2nd Holy District" Central Church of the Holy Capital. The Count's residence is in the same area, so there is no need to go through the "wall". Incidentally, the dormitories and practice fields of the Knights of the Holy King are located in the "Third Sanctuary," where even the wealthy can generally live. Around the change of name from this outside to "4th Street (...) District," the nobles' sense of superiority is questioned.
It was also in the 4th Street that I helped Count Sullies. I guess the Count was about to go home, but how could he have been in 4th Street or something? Well, I don't really want to ask you why because you're the kind of guy who looks like a jerk to buy people's grudges...
"Reggie, what's wrong? It's dusk."
"Twilight...... no, that's not true, is it?
"What were you thinking?
Though I have a lot to think about, "I didn't want to look straight at my current lady so I was looking outside" is honest. Me and the lady sitting across the street from each other where it's huge but much narrower than the room. I can tell you how much magic you have to do to not activate the "Demon Eye," the eyes of the Sullies family are still demonic eyes. It makes me excited to watch. Funny, I don't have a Lolicon hobby.
"Oh, okay."
"It's a hassle"
"I haven't told you yet!?"
"You're gonna say, 'I remember the old days' anyway, right?
…………
"You're a clam"
"I cheated!
"If you have a cheat that you can read the other person's mind, I want it too."
Well, the Count has "Demon Eyes" close to it.
I continued my conversation with the lady without other love. [M] Because I realized I couldn't afford a little bit of her heart.
A floating mansion, a father who often uttered unspoken praises. Even if they say it's "special" today, they won't know until they actually experience it.
If talking to me calms your mind, that's fine.
(... don't know how long I'll be around)
Count Sullies has been a good searcher for contract magic. I don't know about Lark, Mr. Lulusha, or which one of them will come out first, but if I find out which one, I'll have to leave the lady and go see her.
"Did Reggie see the attendees today?
"Oh, if you say so, you got that"
I looked at the botanical paper that I had in my hand. A total of 22...... you're here. The lady's name was written sixth from above.
(Above that, and…)
I looked above the lady to check out what seemed troublesome.
Holy Prince Kruvschlat
Duke's House: Louis-Rozzier
Duke's House: Ethan-Ebagne
Marquis House: Charlotte-Phrase
Borderline Uncle House: Mira-Muel
Black stars are men, white stars are women.
"... I see"
"What's 'I see'?
"I knew very well that just looking at the name wouldn't interest me as much as the fur"
Frankly, the lady laughed out loud after a brief moment.
"Lady...?
"Hahaha, hahaha, but no more, Reggie, if you think that, you can't talk about it!
"Ha... are you about to laugh so much?
"That's right! Because they are aristocratic children in the heart of this great power, Klvern, and there is the Holy Prince at the head --"
"Welcome?
…………
"... yeah, fine. I'll stop watching too."
The lady looked out the window with a flickering wave of hands.
I wasn't sure what the lady had reacted to and where she had changed her mind.
"Hey, Reggie. You know what?"
"What?"
I was praised by your father today.
"... I know?
"I'm so happy!
That's how the lady who saw me smiled (...) wasn't colorful or had the demonic glow of "demonic eyes" —— it was just purely childish glitter.
Strangely, such a smile sounded more like a stain on my chest.
"... Yes, I am well acquainted. Good for you, lady."
"Yeah!"
The carriage with the lady and me takes us to the dinner party venue at a leisurely speed--.
* Eva-Sullies *
Our escort is weird. Absolutely weird.
First of all, young. "This guy's young, but he's quite muscular," said Captain Maxim. Even the knight praises him. He's only 20 + years old, and even if he's young, he's 18. The good part.
Yet my escort is 14 years old.
Besides, he was 13 at the time of his inauguration.
Besides, I beat the knight captain by hand.
Our escort is weird. Absolutely weird.
Knowledgeable as I do not know. Of course, I think I have had that kind of experience because I'm two years older, but still, I'm surprised by teachers when I bump into tutors asking questions about society, economics, and politics despite being an uneducated person as a nobleman.
Age fraud?
Yeah, I'm as old as I look.
Our escort is weird. Absolutely weird.
Normally, I have no feelings about attending dinner parties that bring together the noble nobles of the Holy Kingdom. I look like an idiot when I'm nervous. I vomit a dialogue with a cheerful face that makes my teeth float.
And... the Holy Prince will be there, but, uh, the Holy Prince, the son of His Majesty the Holy King, will be there! I'm not honored! I have never even visited His Majesty the Holy King, and even to the Holy Prince, although Kurvshrat, who is attending this time, is the third child, I have only met the 1st Holy Prince and 1st Holy Queen once.
Such an honor, the people of this country would be absolutely thrilled to weep!
Yet!
Our escort!
I'll go and use it for a second, you look like one! I was more nervous when I asked you to sneak me out to Shirai!
But you know what?
I was so upset then.
What I was aiming for was a society where people like Reggie could live fairly and equitably, not "because you have nobility".
I was tied to the "common sense" of the aristocratic community without knowing it...
Reggie noticed there and showed me with an attitude.
Then I, the Lord, must respond to Reggie--too.
"Ma'am, I think we're here. First, I'll come down and escort you."
"Yeah, please."
Reggie gets off the carriage so lightly that she doesn't weigh in. Look, the soles don't sound about the ground, either. That's crazy.
Only a few evenings remained in the sky and the stars were blinking. It's a new moon, so the darkness of the night is deeper than usual.
Outside the carriage was the venue for the dinner party —— a place with a whole mansion as its venue.
There is a candle in the space of the carriage, warmer than the magic lamp, but it emits a light that is hard on the eyes.
Many carriages had already arrived, and the knights of the escort were waiting for me to come out of their horses.
Sooo......
Come on, this is the first step.
The first step I take, as a nobleman —— as a nobleman who aspires to a just and equitable society.
"Ma'am, go ahead"
It was so weird and Reggie, a very dependable escort, reached out to me.
I took that hand.
Without even knowing that everything will change on this night.
