Episode 162

On the way to the capital, Schwerin, I witnessed various sights.

Some villages and arrogant lords treat serfs poorly, while others don't seem to be far apart and mild lords.

Common to all territories was the sense of style established over many years of tradition.

"Mr. Weid, Rolmund makes history feel."

I laughed unintentionally, as Lacy, a former false lady, talked to me in a tourist atmosphere.

"Yes, because it has been about three hundred years since the collapse of the Republic and more than two hundred years after the Unification War ended and the Empire was formed. It is much older than Milardia."

Rashiy nods to my explanation.

"Yes, that's right, Miraraldia hasn't been a hundred years after the Unification War, and it's been a federal period."

If we replace them with the dynasties and shogunate of the previous life, we can see that it is enough time for the society to mature.

Behind me, this and that evil plot, all of the werewolf squads are talking about the sights.

Everyone is confident that they can walk back to the territory of Milaldia on their own, so they don't have to worry about enemy territory. It is both a good point and a bad point of a werewolf.

One of the most wolf-like characters is Fern-sister.

"Weid-kun, I also wanted to ride that Mofumofu bird ..."

Fern-sister is a bit disappointed while driving a horse with the familiar reins.

I shook my head.

"Kingbirds are used for mountain battles and city battles.

"Sorry ... sorry."

She was Fern's sister who was consistently weak against Mofumofu.

Fern-Sister is a general soldier and does not have a title in the Demon King Army. But in the Demon King's army, it is considered an influential figure behind the werewolf squad.

So I officially appointed Fern-sister as Vice Commander, and I was assigned to serve as an officer.

I was distracted because I seemed to be a relative, but everyone in the werewolf squad was in favor of it.

Do you want the teacher to give you a cool title when you return?

I speak to Fern-sister.

"By the way, Fern, when I get to the Imperial City, I'll concentrate on negotiations."

"Yeah, that's the way we're doing it."

"At that time, all the magicians will be taken, so I think there will be more opportunities to move with the werewolf alone."

The problem then comes with these bloody fighting races.

I don't want extra troubles in my family.

Fern-sister smiled and banged her thick chest.

"Let's leave it! @Gurney brothers, Monza-chan, Jerik-kun ... Jerik-kun is all right.

reliable. Too dependable.

"Thank you, Fern. I'm sure Fern won't be able to go any further."

"Huh, I'm going to be your sister"

Really, I always take care of you.

Eventually we finished our journey for several days and arrived at the imperial capital Schwerin.

The Imperial City is divided into an aristocratic city surrounded by a long fortified city and a civic city surrounding the city.

There are no walls in the city, but no dangerous creatures or bandits near the Imperial City. It has been uprooted.

The population of the imperial capital is estimated at about 70,000. However, this is only for free people and nobles, not slaves.

Speaking of the magical city of Lünheit, Mirarudia has a population of less than 10,000, including the army stationed by the Demon King.

Even Milordia's largest city, Iolo Lange, is about 20,000.

"It's huge ..."

The kite muttered, so I nod.

"If there is a decent war, there is no victory."

The scale as a country is totally different.

But Elora's aide, Borsh, smiles.

"It was hard to send troops to Milardia. There was a strong squadron in the mountains, but it was pretty good, but all the others are light infantry."

Bolsh shakes his head and recalls his misery.

"We have to have a set of combat gear, apart from climbing gear. We have to transport a great deal of military money. It was a difficult task."

Listening to our conversation, Eleora mutters in a bitter tone.

"Because it was a march before the tunnel was built, I lost six men across the mountains. A low-skill general unit would have worn out several times this much."

Is it a loss of about 5% even for the royal guard who reports to the princess?

I hate it a little.

As we talk, we pass through the magnificent gate and enter the noble city of the Imperial City.

If Milaldia is the first half of the Middle Ages, this is about the latter half of the Middle Ages.

Enter the royal palace, wait for the werewolf squad in the courtyard, and I and Princess Eleora enter the royal palace with only aides.

Parker muttered.

"I expected it, but it's a very nice city. It's incomparable to Miraludia."

I agree, but somehow disappointed, so I returned.

"Mirardia today has only 300 years of history, as the indigenous people of Miraldia are destroyed.

Rolmund's history is continuous, long ago.

And the culmination of that history is His Majesty the Emperor, who is between gorgeous audiences.

I thought, but nobody was sitting on the throne.

Instead, a gorgeous twink stands next to the throne. Although the line is a bit thin, it would be mote mote in previous Japan.

I get uncomfortable for no reason.

The handsome guy who seems to have to display it in the vase has a cool smile.

"Eleora, come home."

The fact that you can abandon your Imperial Highness means that you are the Prince of Honke. In other words, it is the Crown Prince.

What's your name ...

"I'm Ashley."

The kite gently listens. Great lieutenant.

Elleora bows blankly to Prince Ashley and asks:

"Is Your Majesty's Condition Not Good?"

"Yes. Sorry, I'll receive the report instead. Are you sure?"

No good or bad. The opponent is the next emperor.

Eleora nods and reports in the manner of the Imperial Rolmund. She has made a false report that she has "taken control of the entire region of Milaldia".

I think it's okay because I'm doing this work so as not to lose it, but the problem is here.

Prince Ashley looks at me.

"You are the leader of Milardia. We have received reports that he has contributed greatly to Eleora's feat."

Everything is a lie.

I go forward and bow gracefully.

"I am with Federal Councilor Milardia, Weid Grun Friedenrichter. Call me Weid."

Right now I don't have a surname, but that's what it looks like in Rolmund.

So I decided to borrow the teacher's middle name and the name of the former king. Permission has been taken.

Prince Ashley nodded and said to me:

"Ok, Lord Sir Weid. Do you, Milardia, swear allegiance to the Lomundo family?"

I bow down deeply with a smile of pleasure.

"I came here to show loyalty to His Majesty."

I was glad to lie, but I hate it, so I'm cheating.

I don't say any Majesty.

Prince Ashley nods satisfactorily, unaware of my intent.

"We have already given His Majesty's forgiveness. On behalf of His Majesty, this Ashley Waltov Schwerin Lolmund would like to grant Lord Weid the status of" The Baron "."

The status of foreign nobles since the age of West Lorumund. It's a patronage because it's a guest rank.

Now you can shake the major and act as a noble.

But here, I face the first test.

"Just before that, Lord Weid"

"what"

"You're called" Black Wolf Lord "in Miraludia? I've heard that's because you're a werewolf."

Prince Ashley continued:

"Teiyokyo does not recognize the existence of demons. If you are really a werewolf, you cannot recognize its status."

Guarded by armed guards, a magician-like civilian enters during the audience.

The prince said,

"I'll ask a magician who reports directly to the Imperial House to examine your true form. Are you sure?"

I smile and reach out to the magician and answer.

"Please check how you are, Your Highness"
