We decided to go to the Imperial Capital and went back to Lamberg to get ready once.

Licia needs to be ready, too.

Because Lamberg is closer to Sempler than Trubequista, Lisia will come here when she's ready.

I'm ready to get to Sempler first.

Supplies from Sempler to Teito are to be procured locally.

It would be too much boulder to carry from here.

Then decide what to accompany me.

Getting to Sempler will naturally require an escort, and Clan will escort you from there, but you should still have a reliable escort.

On second thought, the escort will give priority to the protection of the eldest son of the clan, so there is also a good chance that he will not protect me or Lisia in times of need.

Charlotte should be escorted.

Leetz cannot be allowed to go to an empire with a lot of Marka discrimination. Let him stay. I'll take care of the mansion.

Anything else with high martial arts is about Mireille?

I just don't know what kind of trouble you're going to have when you take Mireille, so let's not.

Well, I'm also afraid to leave it while I'm not at the mansion, but if Leeds is there, he'll do something about it.

Do you take them because there are some high martial arts there, such as Roselle's brothers?

I sent a letter to Clan saying that Lisia had taken it on for me, and then I was going too.

Waiting for a response doesn't wait because it takes a lot of time.

However, it would be difficult if the clan refused to let me go.

The ship is going to be big, so I think it's going to be okay, but I'm not sure I can get permission. Do we have to negotiate well if it's tough?

A few days later, Lisia came to the mansion.

Looks like he came in a carriage.

He's got a maid to look after him around, and some soldiers.

We don't know when we'll be ready to leave port, so we better head to Sempler as soon as possible.

We were to head to Sempler as soon as Lisia arrived.

"Then I'll go"

"Yes... we'll take care of the mansion."

Reetz said so, looking lonely.

"Why don't you take Atashi with you, too? The Imperial City is where delicious liquor gathers from all over Samaforce."

"I'd love to have Sister Mireille come with me."

That's what Charlotte asked for.

"I'm not going sightseeing. Alcohol would be in Lamberg."

"Hmm, no"

"Master Ars has a stiff head"

Mireille has said many times she wants to go, but every time she says no. When Charlotte is with me and Mireille drinks even more, I have only a bad feeling. I even have a feeling I'm going to let go of my magic to Teito and get a nomination arranged.

"What kind of place is Empire and Paradise? Ars, get me a souvenir."

Roselle has asked for a souvenir.

"That's not why I'm going sightseeing... well, maybe a souvenir"

Roselle likes books, so if you find any rare books, I'll buy them for you.

"Then Dear Ars, and Charlotte, I hope you will be able to complete your journey safely. You're not going."

"Oh, I'm coming"

"Let's go."

Then we leave the mansion. Then he got in the carriage and left with Lisia for Sempler.

The road to Sempler is as dangerous as ever, and the bandits come out, but with Charlotte, it's easy to get rid of them.

All arrived intact to Sempler.

"Is this the Sempler... because I've never been too far away... I heard about the ocean, but you really have so much water"

"This time we'll sail over to the Imperial City."

"I'm getting a little excited."

Licia loosens her cheeks.

I was a little worried but worried that I was going away.

After that, I went with Lisia to Sempler Castle and met Clan.

"It is more Lisia or I am Clan Salemachia"

The clan introduced itself in a way that kept its voice low and intimidating.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Lisia Plaid. The fame of the clan has been heard many times."

I returned my greeting without any movement at all.

The clan sees how that Lisia is doing and soothes her expression a little.

"Hmm, women and children are mostly scared and can't talk well, but the liver seems to be sitting in the middle"

Could I have tried it a little?

Well, I guess you were going to decide you couldn't seem upset here.

I have credibility in my power, but I understand your desire to keep the minimum test.

"So it said in the letter, Ars. Looks like your lord's coming."

"Yes, because that's what Lady Lisia wanted."

"It's no problem for you to go with me."

"Thank you"

I'm relieved that I got your permission.

"I was hoping you'd go one way or another rather than have a problem"

"Does that mean you want us to look for talent in Imperial Capital?

"It's not. Can the Lord see his own talent in his power?

"No, I can't just see my own abilities."

"Right. It seems to me that the Lord has political talent. I was wondering if the Lord himself might be useful as a negotiating aid."

"Oh, is that right?

Political talent?

It turns out that martial arts and intelligence are no big deal, but we don't know what the status quo is about leadership and politics.

I can't say I don't have talent, but I can't feel it when they say I do.

I honestly don't know if I showed anything talented, and I doubt why I thought so. Is it like intuition?

Honestly, I don't think you have talent, but maybe you can think about it to the extent that you do.

"It will take about a week before we leave the port. Yes, my son is just coming to the castle, so let me introduce him."
