On the day of departure for the Principality of Six.
King of the Race Kingdom and First Princess Lilith go out from the East Gate with us as escorts.
In front of the East Gate, the First Prince of the Race Kingdom, Klu, tells the King in a lofty acting manner.
"In the absence of His Majesty the King, the First Prince Claw of the Race Kingdoms will overcome all difficulties and will serve the King's deputies honorably and without excess. So please feel free to attend the meeting!
"Hmm... Claw, while you're away, I need the Kingdom."
The current king nodded and called out to his son, Klau, with a different voice.
For the first time, I saw the current king in person, but his hair was gray and his wrist was thin enough to break.
His body was thin enough to believe him when he said, "He's sick."
Nevertheless, in this world with little entertainment, a crowd of people gathered at the east gate to watch the Kings leave at first sight, but in front of them, they stretched their spine as if they were even putting in an iron rod, and the movement was slow but creating an atmosphere of majesty.
For the first time, I had the impression that it was thin and unreliable, but when I raised my voice and moved, the negative image was immediately erased.
Lilith, as a royal family, I ask you to assist His Majesty the King.
"I'm afraid, oniisama."
Following the king, Claw called out to his sister, Lilith.
The two were having a gentle conversation because of their appearance, but the air was shaking slightly.
Claw takes an attitude toward Lilith as dignified as possible.
For this reason - I used "SSR Explosive Flame" to prove that I was a magician when I took the "escort test" earlier.
At that time, Lilith held her ear and managed to endure it, but Klau, who was despised, was surprised to pull out her waist and put on a butt cake.
Claw, who had shown his pathetic appearance in front of the soldiers, came up with an opinion from some quarters that "Princess Lilith is more courageous and she is better off than the next king."
The story also spread among the citizens, and quietly there were people who had the opinion of "Queen Lilith Next".
To dispel the rumours, Claw is acting with dignity toward Lilith.
She said she was up and Lilith was down.
Incidentally, we are not involved in any of the expectations of the next queen of Lilith.
Lilith will certainly be the Queen if she receives approval from the Elves, Dwarves, and Beasts at this Duke of Six meeting.
There is no need to resort to bypassing the rumors to consolidate the scaffolding.
Finally, Claw stares at us, Lilith's escort.
"... chi"
I ignore it, Gold laughs joyfully under the full face, and Nemum whispers ill manners and little tongues.
It was a really small tongue, and Crowe didn't hear it because of the crowd cheering. Nevertheless, there is no need to manipulate hostility deliberately.
First, by the time we get back, Lilith will be queen and Claw will be active (hidden) in the world of hobbies.
There is no point in competing as long as the match has already been decided.
Thus, after the entire departure ceremony, His Majesty the King and Princess Lilith embarked on a carriage. Approximately 100 soldiers begin to move.
---About 100 soldiers are very few in the movement of a king. You can see the weakness of race compared to other countries around here.
We call it "Princess Lilith's Guard", which does not mix into the ranks of soldiers, but manipulates the horse while keeping the carriage of Lilith and Yume (fake) in sight.
Gold is on the back side of the carriage, and I sit in front of Nemum and move with two horses.
"I wish I was riding alone....."
I studied, magic, tissue making, bodily arts, martial arts, and so on in Naraka for about three years, but I did not have full equestrian training on the boulders, although I could ride them.
Because there was no point in owning a horse just for equestrian practice at the bottom of the Naraka.
I don't think I can do it normally because it's not that difficult, but I'm light myself, so there are some weights that don't matter, so I decided to travel with Nemu on one horse.
Originally, there were "SR, flight" and "SSR, metastasis", and running on your own feet was faster than moving on a horse. But I can't run on the side of the king and princess just because they're so fast.
Nemum and Gold are both proficient in equestrianism. That's why I'm sitting and moving in front of Nemu.
Nemum puts me forward with a vibrant smile. [M]
"Lord Dark, you don't have to think about it. I will always fly the horse on behalf of Mr. Dark. Tell me when you need a leg, I'll be Dark Lord's leg!
Looking back, Nemum affirmed with a happy look.
He seems so happy to put me forward and manipulate the horse. [M]
As for me... when I kept my body, I was embarrassed to be hugged by my nem from behind, and the back of my head hit her chest softly and smelled good.
Also, the fact that Nemum has a stronger breathing sound than usual and deliberately sniffs my smell provokes my shame.
In addition, I was subtly embarrassed to see the guards looking envious to me.
Gold is embarrassed about me. [M]
"I don't know how the Lord feels. It's a shame a man can't ride one or two horses. Should I guide you if I have more time with this escort?
"Gold! Don't say anything extra! You said you would always be Lord Dark's leg!
When the strange Gold offers me guidance, Nemum gets angry like a fiery fire. [M]
He seems so happy to put me on the road. [M]
Without hesitation, Gold strips his teeth of the joy.
Gold sighs with such a nervous attitude.
"I know how it feels, but I'm not impressed to deprive the Lord of any learning opportunities, no matter how much? Nemum may not always be able to manipulate it on behalf of the Lord."
"Even when you're asleep in the early morning and late at night, you can always rush to Dark Master!
"No, I don't want to be so strongly asserted....."
Nemum's assertion of too much momentum makes Gold wriggle.
I stuck a nail with a smile on their interaction. [M]
"I'll think about it at a later date. Nemu, any sign of the enemy or the monster?
"... for now, there's no problem. Some goblins from the woods are looking at us, but that's about it."
Now we were going straight through the east gate.
In the meantime, I don't see any enemies in particular.
"Lord, did you continue east and down the river to the Principality of Six?
"Yeah, that's right. It'll take more than 10 days to move on the ground, but it's convenient because you can get there in a day if you go down the river."
This is why I left the east gate, not the main gate.
It will take a very long time to reach the Principality of Six if you travel on the ground, but you can reach it in a day if you go down the river.
This river flows from the northern mountains to the southern sea. Some villages use this river to drain wood harvested in the north and sell it to cities in the south.
I used this river descent to get out of town when I left home. [M]
Normally walking on the ground puts you at high risk of being attacked and killed by bandits and monsters. Anyway, there are no aquatic monsters in the river, so they can move safely.
(Nevertheless, when I left the village, I traveled at the lowest price on the bottom of the boat, so I couldn't see the view outside...)
Still, at the time, they took half of the money they had saved.
Remember the past and sigh lightly.
Dark-sama, did you feel uncomfortable riding? No, I'm sorry. We should have chosen a better path. "
"No, it's not. I remembered the old days and sighed. I'm sorry I misled you. I'm comfortable riding... yeah, I'm a little embarrassed, but don't worry."
"Yes, Master Dark!
Are you impressed by my compliments? I'll make your eyes shine even wider.
"Lord, I'm not impressed to spoil you too much," a gossip flies from Gold, but Nemum manipulates the horse in an upbeat mood without worrying about anything.
Even in that state, it seems like the highest assassin, so it is comfortable to know the enemy's attack beforehand.
--And without any particular problems, we were able to reach a city built on the river side that leads to the Principality of Six.
