Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 354: Audine the Imperial Capital
"... what is this sight..."
Gaius unexpectedly groaned in a sigh of sighing at the huge city by the time the houses folded overwhelmingly around the vast edge, from a sightseeing tower built for tourists.
"... you mean all of this scenery is Audine..."
Flying out of his hometown of Elmur, he continued to fly all day and night, Gaius had arrived in Audine, the capital of which Pope Lowenglin was proud.
However, since flying over the capital is an act of violating Lowenglin's right to control airspace, Gaius stepped down to the ground as soon as Audine could be seen, knocking over its gates on foot, in order to avoid unnecessary strife.
But Gaius, who wanted to see the most powerful cities of the world's most powerful nations overlooking him, took considerable time to walk to the centre of the capital and deliberately climbed to the tower of sights, paying the corresponding fee.
But the scenery played out there was a substitute far beyond Gaius's imagination.
"... there's so much to be done... compared to this, Alexandra, the capital of the Kingdom of Dallas, is nothing but a small city..."
Then I heard Gaius whine like that, and the good-looking young man next door spoke to me.
"Whoa! Have you been to Dallas? Alexandra has a history, and it's interesting, but you're right, it's just a small city in one country."
"That's right... not very much, but it seems to be on a different level"
"Right? Whatever it is, this Audean is different. Anyway, it's the royal capital of the world's most powerful nation."
"... kout?
"Haven't you heard? Lowenglin is a papal country, so every human being in our country is accustomed to calling it the royal capital."
"I see. Speaking of which, Alexandra is the capital of the Kingdom of Dallas, so the people of Dallas called it the King's Capital. Really, you call it the Imperial Capital..."
"Oh, the royal capital of all the people of Lowenglin, that's where Audine is."
"My brother is a low-english citizen because he's like my country, right?
"That's right. Well, unfortunately, I'm not a citizen here in Odine. I live in a regional city called Manaham on the border of Lowenglin, and I come to this royal capital once in a while for work. So you can always climb up to this tower and see the view of Audine, so you can go home in peace."
"Are you relieved to see the view?
"Yeah, like I said, I've seen Alexandra before, but I've been around a lot of other countries for work. But this Audean is a much bigger, more advanced city than any of those cities."
"I see, well. In other words, the ability to maintain such a large city is also evidence of the overwhelming national power of Lowenglin. So even though you live in a local city on the border, your brother is a citizen of Pope Roenglin, so you can reassure him of his country's strength?
"Wow, you are! Yes, you're right. I live on the border. [M] A border means an area bordering another country. So if it's true, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't be a war with our neighbors. But if Lowenglin's power is powerful, it shouldn't be like that inside. Do you understand?
While the youth was surprised at Gaius' openness, he asked out of breath, feeling like he couldn't contain his excitement.
Gaius then answered such a young man's question in sharp and short words with a glimpse of Odine's vast landscape.
"Oh, that's a deterrent."
