Episode 88: Dinner at the Duke of Cretia's House

When the magic ship carrying the Rio's men left Amando in the morning, it proceeded northeast and sailed to the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Galark in just under half a day.

The maximum speed of a demonic ship is approximately one hundred and ten knots, but usually travels at less than half that speed in relation to fuel consumption when sailing.

It was not as fast as Rio when flying at full capacity, but it was quite moving speed.

"I see it! It's Wang Du! We'll be in King's Landing soon!

The voice of the sailor standing on the watchtower of the mast echoes on the deck.

"Apparently, you're arriving in Wang Du. That looks like the capital of the king."

I can already see Wang Du from the deck in the distance.

I told Chloe that Rio was standing directly across the street.

"Ah, yes. Beautiful..."

While agreeing, Chloe had been blinded by the view of the King's Capital visible from the deck.

It is the royal castle of the Kingdom of Galark that houses a huge white Asian structure at one time or another in the city.

It can be seen that there are barn zones and orchards around the Wang capital, which support the life of the Wang capital.

You heard the rumors, people appeared little by little to get a view of the Wang capital, and the deck became noisy.

"Now, I'm ready to disembark. I'll be back in my room once."

"Yes! Thank you!

Dropped off by Chloe, Rio returned his heel and walked away from the deck.

Then sailing about enough, the demon ship will land in a huge lake located east of the Wang capital.

Demon ships can land on land as well, but most of the time it is watersheds such as seas and lakes that have dedicated ports.

Once the demon ship proceeding from the southwest passed the king's capital, it entered over the eastern lake.

"Momoka ~ j"

"Momoka ~ j"

The bridge echoes the voice of the captain and the steerer.

Repeating the captain's command, the steerer (yes, sir) turned the steering wheel to the right.

"Fifteen degrees to the helm."

And the steerer (yes) tells me.

The Magic Ship turned back to the right and began to swirl toward the King's Capital to arc loudly.

"Back!

"Rudder center!

As the Magic Ship begins to head to the harbour of the King's Capital, the steerer (yes, sir) returns the steering wheel to zero degrees, as per the Captain's command.

"Hit the steering wheel!

"Seven degrees!

Now slightly turning the wheel to the left killed the momentum of the ship that was swirling to the right.

"Needle, two hundred and seventy degrees, it's time."

The captain tells you where he wants to go.

Needle, two hundred and seventy degrees.

The steerer (yes/no) made the report when the needle was taken as requested.

"Micro speed forward, micro speed down"

"Micro speed forward, micro speed down, it's about time."

As we approach the harbour of the King's Capital, located at the western edge of the lake, the magic ship slowly descends and the distance from the lake under our eyes is reduced slightly.

"All hands, prepare for the impact of the waterfall!

The captain shouts at the voice tube.

As the magic ship landed in the lake to be sucked in, it scattered waves around it.

Travel straight to the water and arrive at the harbor, where the crew and those who were waiting will start landing handily.

Securing the port and the ship with the released rope allowed the tarap to be mounted and the ship to embark and disembark.

"Dear Leezelotte! Ready!

The captain told Liezelotte, who was looking at the situation from the deck.

"Good luck everyone. Then stretch your wings until you get back to Amand."

"Bastards! You heard me! If you want a vacation, I'll just get the job done!

"Whoa!"

The crew's voice echoes aboard the ship and starts to act vividly.

Liezelotte smiled and dropped them off.

"Sa, Master Hart. Ready, come here."

That being said, Liezelotte disembarked with Rio.

Four of your attendants, Aria, Kozette, Natalie and Chloe, walk to protect the two of them.

Then a man at the dock who seemed to be at the end of his epic years approached him.

Though it can be seen that he is not only a samurai from the flesh of his muscles and bones, his aptitude is not that of a soldier, but that of a housekeeper or deacon.

"Dear Leezelotte, we are out of time"

With all due respect, the man spoke to Lieselotte.

"Oh, Ricardo. Still looking good. Does your presence here mean that your father and mother are already in the capital?

Leezelotte responds and asks casually in such a way as to get acquainted.

Apparently, I know a guy called Ricardo.

Rio followed the hit that he would probably be the one serving the House of the Duke of Cretier.

"Yes, you will both come in eagerly awaiting your reunion with Master Lieselotte"

"Yes. Does Brother Pascal want Brother Georges anyway?

"Master Georges is in Fiancé's house. He told me he was coming to the brave man's reception."

"Yes. Okay. Well, maybe we should head over to the mansion."

"In your favor. By the way, I'm afraid your Jen is Master Hart?

Moving his gaze to Rio standing next to Liezelotte, Ricardo asked.

"Yes, this is Hart, who saved my predicament when Amand was attacked the other day."

and Leezerotte introduces Rio.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Hart. Later, get to know each other."

He bowed politely to no disrespect, and Rio raised his name.

"Oh, I'll see you first. I've been talking to you. Thank you for saving Master Lieselotte."

Ricardo greets Rio with a friendly grin.

Perhaps it's natural, but Rio's presence seems to be conveyed along with the recent Amando raid.

"No, because I just slashed and threw away the demons that came at me"

"It doesn't change the fact that you saved your daughter. Excuse me, I'm late. I'm in Ricardo. We serve Cedric-Crétier, the father of Lord Liezelotte, as a family order. Thank you very much."

Say hello and Ricardo bows his head politely.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you"

And Rio also bowed and gave it back.

"Then please come. This way."

Then he was to travel in the lead of Ricardo, and the line was to head to the King's Capital Separate residence of the Duke of Cretier family.

Close to the harbor to the aristocratic district.

Instead, a direct boulevard stretches from the harbor to the royal castle, southeast of the Wang capital, and in the meantime there is an aristocratic city.

Other military-related facilities have been built everywhere, with strict security on the eastern side of the Wang capital.

Heavy stone buildings lined up everywhere, surrounded by quiet air.

"I see it. This is the Duke of Cretier's residence in the Wangdu."

The Wangdu Mansion of the Duke of Cretia family was among the closest of the aristocratic towns to the Royal Castle.

A robust iron gate with luxurious decorations is set in the centre of the splendid brick walls surrounding the site.

Far beyond the gates and walls stood a relatively brand new artistic and majestic white Asian architecture.

The interior will also have a subtle and elaborate decoration.

When you enter the site, you will see the road leading to the building and a well-maintained planar geometric garden, just a short distance from the gate to the mansion.

Even compared to the aristocratic mansions lining the surroundings, there is no doubt that the King's Capital Separate Mansion of the Duke of Cretier family is luxurious at one time or another.

That would be the proof left that the Duke of Cretier family is flourishing.

"You're going to end up with a mansion and a good garden and a good majesty. I was overwhelmed and accidentally blinded."

and Rio shared his thoughts of seeing the mansion, including the grounds.

To tell the truth, if I actually live there, I may prefer simple designs to artistic ones that make me tired.

However, if you want to admire it in an artistic sense, it was also true that I think the mansion in front of you is a great architecture.

"Hehe, this mansion was built under Father's command, but as far as I'm concerned, I think it's a little flashy to live in. Just to show the power of the house, the Wang Capital needed to build a mansion. It's a troublesome place for the aristocratic community."

Lizelotte said with a slightly more tearful grin.

"... I guess. With that said, Master Liezelotte's mansion in Amando was something of a simple yet beautiful design. Actually, I thought it would be better if I actually lived there."

Rio answers bitterly.

"Right. I'm going to get tired of settling in these houses on boulders, too."

Leezelotte smiles small and agrees with Rio's response.

Then when he entered the mansion, the interior was still also decorated with a luxurious, eye-catching decoration, and Rio sighed small with a sense of admiration.

The entrance hall is also sculptural, and the room itself appears to be one work of art.

He walked straight into the aisle surrounded by stone white walls, and Rio was led to the dining room.

"Please come over here and wait. This will remain the dinner party. I'm calling your parents right now, Mr. Lieselotte."

Upon entering the dining room, Ricardo of the family decree urged Rio to sit in the chair.

"Understood."

Rio nods and lowers his back to the chair.

On the other hand, Lieselotte did not sit as he did.

"Master Hart, if you'll excuse me for a moment."

And he has told me that he will leave the room once.

"Yes. I'm in awe"

When Rio replied, Rieselotte followed the four dedicated squire and left the room.

Ricardo leaves the room with him, and instead comes the squire of the mansion.

"Excuse me, sir."

The squire began to silently brew tea with his graceful work.

Side by side, Rio is silently observing the indoors.

It was a truly lavish dining room.

The interior is furnished with antique furniture and large windows are fitted with stained glass to colour the interior.

"Enjoy"

A samurai offers Rio a cup of soothing tea.

"Bye. Please take your time."

Leaving it at that, the samurai tried to walk away from Rio and into the corner of the room.

"Thank you"

Rio smiles and says thank you.

It would not be necessary for an invited guest to express gratitude for the actions of the squire, and if the guest were noble, he would not even want to say a word of gratitude.

Nevertheless, Rio did not mean to be noble apart, nor did he intend to behave as an aristocrat, so he normally decided to express his gratitude.

Incidentally, the people at the mansion have been told that they are the benefactors of Leezelotte, and that they are not particularly informed about their identity.

Because he was not used to being very thankful, the samurai looked slightly round, smiling and bowing his head.

Then wait a little longer.

Rio sensed signs of people approaching the dining room.

When the door to the room opens, a few people come inside.

Eye-catching were the leading, magnificent men and women, and Lieselotte walking behind them.

Behind it further, Ricardo and Aria diminish the signs and refrain.

Did you do the dressing in just a few hours, Leezelotte was wearing a waking, pure white dress.

Immediately rise from the chair and Rio bows correctly in posture.

"Hey, you're Hart. Welcome to the King's Capital Mansion of my Duke of Cretia house. You're welcome. I'm Cedric-Cretia, Leezelotte's father."

A man walking in the lead has called out to Rio with a clear voice that sounds good.

He is the Duke of Cedric-Cretia, the father of Lieselotte.

Although his age was in his mid-forties, he was also a beautiful young man enough to be convinced that he was the father of Lieselotte.

"I'll see you first. My name is Hart. Thank you for inviting me to your mansion."

Rio greets him in a tone of humility.

Cedric had a sunny grin,

"I'm listening. Looks like you helped Lieselotte the other day. Thank you very much. I hear that without you, there would have been danger to my daughter."

And I said casually.

"I just occasionally stayed on the spot about the matter. I just defeated the demon that attacked me."

Rio smiles bitterly and shakes his head (wears it).

"Ha ha, it's true that you helped my sweet Lieselotte. I heard the story. Sounds like you're going to be attending a presentation of the brave men who showed up in our country. You should relax at home while you stay in Wang Du."

"Thank you"

A thick thank you from Cedric came through, and Rio bowed his head deeply to thank him.

He seemed to have been briefed in advance about Rio, but where the daughters of the great aristocracy had brought in windmills with no good qualities, there would not be many fathers who could make a good face from the heart.

Apparently Cedric has a good personality and a deep nostalgia (two places) figure.

Nevertheless, the boulder should be called the Duke, and Rio also felt the piercing of the war behind his casual smile.

"You (you), I would also like to thank Leezelotte's benefactor. Introduce him."

And the woman standing next to Cedric said.

She has the same light, watery hair as Lieselotte with deep blue eyes and is a very laid back beautiful woman.

"Oh, Julianne. I'm sorry."

Cedric said with a flamboyant smile,

"Mr. Hart, let me introduce you. She's my wife, Julianne, Leezelotte's mother."

Turning to Rio, he made an introduction to a woman called Julianne.

"Hi hehe. My name is Julianne-Cretia. Thank you for helping my daughter. Thank you very much."

Julianne greets her politely after being introduced. Apparently, she is Lieselotte's mother.

It is indeed called the color of the hair, the color of the eyes, the soothing face that seems to grow well and tender, the more I look at it, the more I look at it, the more it looks like Lieselotte.

I don't know my age, but from the side, Julianne looks so young that the two of them only look like sisters.

"It's the first time I've seen you. My name is Hart. I'm ashamed to mistake Julianne for Leezelotte's sister."

"Well, well, you're good"

Julianne was just a little nagging as she dyed and scuffed her cheeks.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha. Julianne is beautiful."

With a dazzling smile that attracts the beholder, Cedric agrees in a good mood.

"If you don't..."

Julianne puts her hand on her cheek and turns away.

The trick was so pathetic and suited her.

Nevertheless, they are very close, or they are a first couple as if they were newlyweds.

"I'm sorry. Dear Hart, this is how these two always feel. It's so embarrassing to watch, so close that there's no clearance for me to get in."

Liezelotte, who was watching the exchange between the two from behind, spoke with a bitter smile.

"I think it's wonderful how well a couple get along."

And, Rio answers the smile.

"Oh, you think so, too? You're a very promising young man."

Cedric compliments Rio with a sounding tenor voice.

"I'm afraid."

Rio thanked him by meeting small.

Cedric stared at Rio's face like that,

"Hmm, shall we have a little talk over dinner? Why don't we sit down first? It's a private dinner party. Let's not be tough."

And that's what I said.

"Would you like an aperitif? Available in low to high degrees"

When the faces of Rio and the Duke of Cretier came to the table, the servants came and asked if they wanted an aperitif.

Together they are also given a list of aperitifs.

"Please. So can I get a wine-based cocktail?

"I'm flattered. Please wait."

When he bows down small, the samurai quietly walks away.

Then as soon as the aperitif was transported with the appetizer, the dinner party to entertain Rio began.

Cedric skilfully guides the conversation, and Julianne laughs by the time, caught by it and laughs on Rio and Lieselotte's face as well.

Gradually, the booze has been around and the mood has been elevated.

"For some reason, Leezelotte has grown to be a strong child, unlike me and Julianne."

and Cedric started talking to Xu (Omoro) about Lieselotte.

"Oh, Father?

I get the look on Reese Lotte's face like she's been poked at.

Cedric smiled and opened his mouth with a gaze at Rio sitting across the street.

"You can't ignore something called connectivity to live as a nobleman. Do you see that?

"Yes, I know."

Rio nods small.

"The connection between home and home is the most important example of how that network is formed. I mean, marriage.

Marriage is a social event that is difficult to avoid as a nobleman, both to survive a home and to form a connection.

That's why nobles marry politically. Make a pageant to have a political marriage. Even if we don't feel like it. "

With that said, Cedric grinned like he was in a little trouble.

"Liezelotte was no exception to that. When it becomes the Duke's house, matchmaking applications come from various houses. Since childhood, too.

Well, it's like face-to-face. If you want to maintain a well-rounded relationship in an aristocratic society, you are bad at turning it all down.

Because Leezelotte is so cute that it doesn't hurt to put it in your eyes, as you can see. That's already a lot of matchmaking stories coming from a lot of houses.

Of course, it's hard to get all the stories out of it, so I only got the hard stories to say no to, and I made Leezelotte do the matchmaking. "

Listening to the story, she was trembling and trembling her face with embarrassment as Rio blindly sent her gaze to Lieselotte.

"I guess I was about eight. Lieselotte came to my office and said," If you graduate from Royal College by the age of twelve in the flying class to the high school, I want you to do me a favor, "he said. The wish was to approve the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the management of the territorial capital."

"Father, it's time for another story..."

I try to distract myself from the conversation with the grin that Lieselotte drew.

I can't seem to get into a strong attitude because I have Rio in front of me.

"Oh, that's good. It's a good opportunity for your benefactor, Hart, to know what's good about you."

Julianne smiles and stops Lieselotte.

No more could Lieselotte eat down, either, and he sighed small and observed.

Cedric grinned furiously to see how his beloved daughter was,

"At the time Lieselotte was only eight years old. Surprise me how suddenly I can say that. I asked why. Then what do you think she said?

That's what I asked and gazed happily at Rio.

"'Father, I don't want to have a political marriage with someone I don't want. I want to choose who I want to marry. So I just want the power to decide who to marry myself. That's why'.

That's what she said with a strange and impatient look on her face. An eight-year-old girl, right?

Cedric spoke slightly and seemingly unable to laugh.

"I'm impressed that you're feeling strong as my child, or that it's a good breeze. I nodded in two replies. And this child executed it with words. In just two and a half years."

"You're a wonderful lady"

Say, Rio smiled small.

You know what I mean? She's a really brilliant, cute little girl who's wasted so much time on us. "

Cedric gives me a really proud look.

But soon, let me peek into your sad expression,

"Although that's why I'm usually anxious to live apart. You said Amand had a bunch of demons the other day.

It's said that the dragon inspired the demon, but, well, dragons are like a natural disaster. Maybe I can't help but encourage my daughter to grow up... "

And Cedric talks a little lonely.

Sighing small as it was, he turned to Rio correctly in his posture.

"I hear you're a swordsman with extraordinary arms. I also heard from Lieselotte that he was a trustworthy person."

"It's an extra word for you."

Rio bowed down small and answered.

"Have I made you a little wary? I'm not trying to eat anything else. If you're on guard, don't worry. Just do me a favor."

"And you say?

I didn't feel particularly comfortable, and Rio decided to just listen.

"There are a lot of people who think well about this kid, whether it's a work pattern or a position pattern, but there are a lot of people who are just as jealous or dislike him. If you don't mind, will you stay close to this girl in the future?

"... Yes. Of course that is, but is this what a favor is?

After a lot of silence, Rio asked in a slightly clapped wind.

I was expecting a little more requests for content.

"Oh, yes, I am."

And Cedric grinned with a smile.

Tickle up - and Rio gives me one instant (maba).

"I understand. Thank you for your patience, because I know that I will be with you for the rest of my life."

He smiled back thinly at Cedric, and Rio told him so.
