Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 313: Kindness
One carriage was running through the meadows of Agarta as the midsummer sun lit up. The carriage is surrounded by dozens of horseback riding squadrons, and at first glance it appears that the lord of Agarta, or his family, is on his way to the capital. But if you look closely, the carriage, despite being in the middle of summer, has the window closed perfectly, giving it a certain oddity. If there were people on board, it would be hot and humid, as everyone thought.
In fact, the carriage was in a steam bath. Inside, Queen Salfate and two princesses were on board, but it was unacceptable to open the window at the queen's sole request, and the three were covered in sweat.
The carriage had the appearance of a woman running a horse at close range as if leaning in. Needless to say, it's Princess Rufana. As she guided her mother's capacity in the carriage, she sometimes plugged the water she had prepared into the carriage, with the horse running. Without this help from her, the Queen, as well as the two princesses, would surely have been dehydrated.
Originally, on the road to the capital, it was planned to take a slow step to accommodate the servants who would follow on foot. But the queen strongly hoped to move as soon as possible. For this reason, those who were to head on foot took the form of being left behind, and they were proceeding with that step in a way that lagged far behind the preceding queens.
Thanks to this, totally restless, forcible army, they were able to reach the capital before the yang leaned west. Linos, who received the report, raised a half-hearted voice in the office.
"How dare you? There's something convenient here, too."
With that said, he sneaked out the paperwork on his desk and slowly stood up.
"Mother..."
The queen's line, arriving at the reception hotel, was solidified in the room through which it was passed. The gaze of everyone who was there is poured on the queen. She moves her eyes to the left and right, without even trying to hide the wolf, opening her mouth in an obnoxious tone.
"... then measure it well"
Hearing the words, tension loosened for all at once.
What happened was as soon as I arrived at the hotel. Minsi, the manager, saw them, especially the queen and the two princesses, wet in sweat, and immediately suggested that they should not sweat in the bath and get dressed. But the queen didn't quite shake her neck vertically to the words. The reason for this is that I never expected this to happen, and the fact that she came unaccompanied by her own ladies left her in self-loathing and unresponsive condition. From the time of birth, a large number of servants of the Queen Fu were told a hell of a story, such as taking a bath alone, and a suggestion was made to join the princesses, but naturally, both of them, like their mothers, did not have the experience of taking a bath alone, so what they were saying was impossible. To this end, the princesses' discontent exploded.
"That's why I said it! Everybody, slow down! That's why this is happening!
"Please wait. Nothing. It doesn't mean we have to show King Agarta right now. The offerings will arrive by dawn at the latest. Waiting for it, and seeing it tomorrow won't hurt."
It was the samurai martial officer Real who opened his mouth to try to soothe the frozen air. But with his words could not put away the wrath of the princesses.
"Real! You keep your mouth shut! It's your fault too in the first place! How, though your mother's orders, you will never receive such an impossible order! Why didn't you tell me to come with you? You have this responsibility, too!
"Maille, don't. Not because of Real......"
The queen is powerless and speaks for her second daughter. But then I couldn't find the words ahead of me, and she was just going to be a dick. Seeing that, Princess Rufana opens her mouth.
"Mother, sister..."
Gentle, she speaks in a whispering voice. The three of them turn to that voice with a hazy look on their face.
"I'll help you, while you don't. Don't worry."
The three of them can't swallow the meaning of Rufana's words, and come up with a Kyotong look. She goes on to say more as she sees how it goes.
"I will accompany Mother and Sister. Don't worry about it."
"Rufana... what..."
"I've been in cadet school since I was a young girl, so I can do most of the work. Plus, I've been looking out for you here in Agarta for a year, and I can bathe and dress everything myself. You may not be as good as those in the rear palace...... Still, it's much better than leaving it to my sisters... and I can protect you when I have to."
"Oh, I'm afraid, Master Rufana. That...... let's get round to it in the bath. Protecting the Queen with your bare hands...?
From Real, I didn't feel comfortable with Rufana alone. We had an idea that we should wait for the ladies to arrive. All the maids with queens are combat-trained. It was obvious that it was better to protect multiple people than to protect them alone. But with such concern for him, Rufana was powerful and said it out loud.
"I'll take a bath with my sword"
"Well... if you do that, the sword..."
"I can't replace your mother's life."
The queen, watching how it was, shrugged powerlessly, shaking her head slowly.
"If so... measure it up. Rufana...... Let's just say I ask you... Real, you need to see King Agarta."
With the queen's grim gaze, he had nothing but to bow his head silently. Eventually, the queen's bathing would be in Rufana's charge, and the two sisters, reluctant to expose their own skin to their sister, were to use the hands of Siluces, the hotel staff. Try being two princesses, it's a complete hit on Rufana, but this made the queen feel a little more at ease. Always a swordworn, armed escort, and even though it has been cold, she is the daughter who divided the blood. She slowly left the room behind in the form of a hand taken by Rufana.
"Um... I'm afraid"
Real, who tried to enter the room with him about the Queen, was denied entry into the beautiful Silence. To his surprise she bowed her respectfully and opened her mouth with perseverance.
"From here on out, it will be a bathing area reserved for women. Your Highness, please don't."
"... oh, I get it. Okay, I'll wait here."
He leaves the door, leans back against the wall and poses as an upright. But Silius continued his words with a grin on his face.
"Um... waiting in front of the room means..."
"But I..."
"Don't worry."
Suddenly I hear voices from behind. Turning surprised, there stood the woman in the manager who had guided us earlier.
"This was a collection of rooms used by women, such as bathrooms and makeup rooms, which many women will pass through. With all due respect, wearing armor and a sword makes it harder for all of you to use it. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm at your disposal here, but could you please wait in this room?
Real reluctantly left the scene in a way overwhelmed by her demeanor.
The room I thought would be guided seemed to be a little far from the bathroom. It bends the corners of several corridors and keeps walking. If things happen like this, they won't be able to rush right away. Hopefully, Minsi's legs stopped when he tried to make me go back to the room where I was earlier.
"It's this way. Please, come in."
He entered through the open door as he looked at her bowing his head respectfully. The room was dim, and at that moment when I thought what the hell was the room, the door behind me closed without sound.
"Nice to meet you. We've been waiting for you, haven't we?
He shook his body vividly, turning his face in the direction of his voice with a surprised expression.
... there was a spectacular spectacle.
