Sword of the Philosopher

The capital of the kingdom of Barks has been conquered once in the battle against the Demon King...... but the Demonic side also imposed repression on the people but never destroyed the whole town - although the victims and so on have been born for the most part - so the capital was very flourishing, even though not so long after its liberation.

"Is Reconstruction Going Sure"

"Yes, that sounds like it"

Sophia's face seemed happy to reply so. Of course.

Now, Sophia is currently wearing a hooded jacket to keep it less noticeable. As a princess, I didn't release that figure to the public, because there are quite a few people who know about her in the battle against the Demon King... it would be troublesome if there was a commotion before reaching the castle, so it is a procedure to prevent it.

"This way."

The lead is Eina. The outfit remains the same and keeps her standing as a knight, but there's nothing people would blame for.

Her expression is hard somewhere even when she enters the capital like that... I've been observing a little bit about her since Sophia pointed it out, but I do feel like she's got some strength on her shoulders.

Just like when I challenge you to fight a fallen angel... I don't have to... but I have some fear of what's about to start - it looks that way.

It just doesn't seem like Sophia, for example, would do me any harm. If that was the case, Eina would also warn, and most importantly, King Claudius, Sophia's father, says welcome. I'm pretty sure there won't be any back there.

Then why does she... go on even though she wonders? Looking around, you can also see some parts of the building that have been destroyed as a result of the battle, but many of them are in repair work.

"While Sofia was traveling, there were many things going on in this country."

Eina begins to talk to her.

"Even so, there have been no major events, and even if there are problems, to the extent that they can be solved internally… the confusion is still ongoing, but the country is beginning to stabilize thanks to His Majesty"

"Survival of the Demon Clan has revealed itself, doesn't it?

"It's okay," Eina responded to Sophia's query.

"Apparently it was in another country, but there were no anomalies in the country"

... because some Demons would have entered the political hub at the behest of the Demon King. Maybe the countries are currently doing that blur or something. There may be no reason for even the Demon Nation to operate more than the Demon King disappeared, but what about the area?

Sophia asks further, as she speaks for the voice of my heart like that.

"We were traveling and we didn't try to get involved with kings or anything... but there was confusion, wasn't there?

"Sounds like it. There are a lot of parts of it that haven't been made public."

When will it be resolved completely...... you still seem to have a long way to go.

Hmm, wait - if you want me to help you with something around there, or something like that? It's oddly convincing to think of it that way. I would be qualified for cooperation with the Spirit.

I'm just saying it's not happening in the kingdom of Barks... you can't tell the truth because you have eyes or something? I know it sounds weird, but if there's something going on with the Demon Clan, let's not get lost and work together.

While I think about it that way, I finally get close to the castle. A little less people away from the busiest boulevard.

"... do you go into the castle from the front?

Somehow she asked, Eina nodded.

"Because it's in the form of hospitality"

"Nevertheless, I just apologized..."

"That's bad, but I can't talk. It just won't hurt Lord Luon... that's all I can promise."

Uh-huh. If you can get a guarantee from her mouth that it's okay for now, I can't even comment on it this way.

"Eina, are you sure you're okay?

Eina replies yes to Sophia's query, but her face is stiff after all.

... I've come so far to be encouraged by her, but I'm getting kind of anxious. No, I'm not worried about my life, and I don't care if I'm there, but I'm getting anxious.

Are you sure you're all right...... thinking about it, I finally arrived at the castle.

Going in front of the castle gate, the gatekeeper sees this one and is surprised, gracious and then enters the castle.

"I have already contacted you, you will be picked up soon"

Eina says. Well, what's the reaction?

Eventually, there were a lot of people wearing robes that looked like cavaliers. While me and Romilda were facing the sight, when they all reached before Sofia, they knelt.

"Welcome home, Princess."

The man in the lead speaks for himself.

"And hero Luon... thank you for treading on this land again"

"Oh, oh..."

I respond with a little noise. You're welcome...... right? At least there's no sign of disgust.

"Dale, let me talk to your father first"

Sophia tells gently. Dale - that's apparently the name of the leading man, and the man snorted firmly.

"Yes, I am very aware of that. So, Lord Luon... and who are you?

It's about Romilda. At the time she shook her shoulder once with Vikri. Tell her like that Sophia is' okay 'and responds.

"Someone I knew on my journey and was accompanied"

"Really? Thank you for coming all the way...... then, ladies and gentlemen, we have warm meals and beds. Please come inside."

Dale talks with a soft grin... I knew there was no nasty vibe. Even if it's in the letter when you welcome it, the court ministers don't think so - there was a possibility like that, but that doesn't seem to be the case either.

But I still get hooked somewhere...... I gave instructions to "go" after a small breath and they all started walking.

So, there's a room that's changed... it's so big that I can't even think about what to do. There is no Sofia or Romilda on this occasion, by the way. I recognize that it's just not a good idea to be alone about Romilda, and Sophia took her responsibly, so I'm probably fine.

And me standing alone in my room... what do I do? And when I'm haunting my head a lot, the sound of a knock.

"Go ahead."

I rang to see if he was a servant, and he was beyond the door,

Long time no see, Lord Luon.

- No way, it was King Claudius.

I get upset by unexpected appearances and try to kneel unexpectedly. However,

"No, I don't mind staying put"

When he took control of me with his hands, he closed the door and came closer to me.

"I'm sorry to keep you traveling, Lord Luon."

"No, that... because I was coming at the right time to talk about the princess too"

"You can call me Sophia. Don't hesitate."

I have no choice but to respond to a king who speaks with laughter.

There's got to be more intent than just talking to face like this... peeking into the king's face as he takes his seat. I had a soft grin and an atmosphere that kept me from reading this idea.

"Well, Lord Luon. First of all, it's been a long journey... but it still seems to be going on."

"Yes, did you ask Sophia?

"No, I haven't talked to Sophia yet. I thought I'd put you through first."

Me first? I questioned it, but decided to move on for one second.

"So it seems Eina gave an overview in a letter… how well do you know?

"The next destination is the Demon Realm."

"Ok...... I'll explain how and more first"

That's how I explain what happened after the accidental transfer at the ruins. It should have been something to marvel at in content, but the king had taken it calmly outside.
