The wise man returns

Visit of the Emperor

The banquet hall of the Command is a large square shaped hall.

It was impossible to change the structure of the castle.

A regular layout of rectangular chairs and tables is a non-invariable military position.

The nobles were grumpy, but the one advantage of seeing someone coming in was clearly recognizable.

“All troops, salute the king! ”

“Ha!”

A group appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall while saluting the central and regional nobles.

The two first appeared, each looking at the sides of the banquet hall.

The Duke of Ketil on the left and Sonya on the right maximized the senses side by side.

In case someone ambushes Evelyn at this moment, we'll be able to deal with it immediately.

“What?! ”

“Hey, that one! ”

The nobles who were well-respected opened their eyes wide.

Duke Ketil was armed, but of course he had to protect the Emperor.

The problem is the cow on the right. The ears and tails were puffed over her head, to be exact.

Unlike the royal family, it reveals the characteristics of the Cat Nation.

It was an order from Evelyn, who was looking at the opportunity in advance.

“That ear and tail...”

“It's the Mages. Why are the Mages here...”

No matter how close the Great Wall was to the Black Ground, it was a major incident for the Horsemen to enter the ballroom.

Moreover, the introduction of the Horseman was a disciple of Duke Ketil.

It was crucial evidence that the city could also bear the guilt of the guilt of the Horsemen.

It was a moment when the surprised nobles tried to speak out.

Only then did the acolyte who was waiting shout loudly.

“Enter the Emperor! ”

Evelyn walks in without a word from the surprised nobles.

Next to her is the Marquis of Minarva, who, in a month, is suddenly the Empress of the King.

Thanks to the sparkling blonde wall, the emperor is both beautiful and majestic!

Meanwhile, the nobles swallowed together what they could not see in the Imperial family.

“Have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

Evelyn, seated at the table, takes a small inhale and looks around.

"Huh?"

The nobles were sitting quietly, not thinking.

I thought I would get up as soon as I sat down, but I was unexpectedly showing polite responses.

Of course, there's only one reason. Thanks to Balin, who still enjoys eating in the corner.

"No, why is the ball here? ’

‘Since you were not in the procession, you were here in the first place. Are you moving ahead with your current relationship with His Majesty? ’

"First of all, being on the Wall... may mean that you're on Duke Ketil's side." ’

If it had been the case, he would have stood up like a swarm of bees and vomited Sonja.

But now, the nobles' gaze was all conscious of Balin.

A warrior who has repelled the Horses several times since the Pioneer Kingdom.

He has no reaction to being angry at the Demons more than anyone else.

How do I...? The Ball doesn't say anything, so we're done talking about the Horses? I didn't hear anything! ’

‘If I leave now, I'll get everyone's attention. That's not gonna happen. You don't think the next order of the late Latroes will ever come to me? ’

The middle nobles roll their heads in a rattling sound.

First of all, considering Evelyn hasn't said anything, she must already know about Sonya.

You can do some enchanting magic, but the bigger problem is that even the Chancellor Valine and Leven aren't saying anything.

All the nobles know that both of them are not capable of such tricks.

Meaning Sonia's here means they've already been cleared.

Of course, the figures on the wall who didn't know Balin was here enjoyed eating comfortably.

The menu was made with beef steak and pork fried in oil, and meat dishes with the scent of the Southern Atlantic Mountains.

Meat is not very good, but given its location, it is also difficult to obtain.

“… umm. ”

“Phew.”

The nobles who were continuing to eat while Balin watched changed their faces one by one.

Although the quality of the meat was not very good, it opened my eyes to new flavors thanks to different spices and recipes.

“... Oh. ”

“Is this Southern Great Mountaineering? ”

“The meat is not that bad, but the flavor has caught all the flavors. ”

“There's no hint of forced roses, but it's good enough for a banquet of the Emperors... It's a bit flawed, but it's enough to catch anything." ”

As the meal continued, the conversation of the nobles became softer.

However, when he looked around the banquet hall, he quickly realized that this was just the appearance.

‘Course, the head and the tongue are different parts. Not everyone inherits their titles for free. ’

Like a politically experienced central aristocrat, you can clearly roll your eyes in the middle of this.

They hid from each other in their own way, but in this way, they couldn't avoid Balin a few times earlier.

“Inbar, do you want to go to the tavern later? ”

“Huh?"

Valine, looking into the nobles' movements, turns her head to the sound of a sudden rush.

On the spot, there was Leven, who had a petty look on his face and had a fork.

“It's worth eating, but it's more than selling out...”

“Well...”

Horse dishes are a specialty of the Great Wall.

For Leven, who has lived here and become accustomed to it, this will not fit into the castle in many ways.

“Dinner. I don't think we need to eat here again and again. ”

“Why aren't you eating, Inbar? ”

Leven chirps at Balin's side and asks.

“I have something to see. So I don't think I'll have time. ”

Valine looks around, answering like that.

It was a short speech, but the wavelength it brought was never small.

“… umm. ”

“Boom! Boom! ”

The hesitant nobles swallowed their complaints into their mouths in a heartbeat.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere continued to be beautiful throughout the meal.

It was very uncomfortable for the nobles.

“By the way, Your Majesty. There's a couple of boys I'd like you to meet. ”

“A couple of boys and girls? ”

On the way to the end of the banquet, Duke Ketil opened his mouth to Evelyn while drinking tea.

“Teacher, are these the two you mentioned before? ”

“Yes, Sonja. Thanks to them, many lives were saved. I refused your invitation, but perhaps you will. ”

“Tell me about it. ”

New talent is welcome in any number of people.

Especially if it was recommended by Duke Kettle.

The Great Wall is home to the warriors of inversion who fight directly against the Horses.

He'd be great enough to make a recommendation directly from such a place.

“What's the status? ”

“The boy is under 20 and can use up to five classes of water magic, plus a sword. In other words, it's called the Magistrate. Your Majesty."

“The Magistrate...”

I was intrigued by Evelyn's face.

Somehow, a statement almost overlaps with someone she knows.

The difference is that it deals with the magic of fire and water, but other than that, it's almost the same image.

“... isn't one girl who's also under 20, fighting naked in the synagogue? ”

“That's right! Your Majesty. But how did I... how did I say that out loud when I came here? ”

“No, I have a hunch. May I have your attention, please? ”

Upon issuing the order, Duke Ketil approaches them as if he was waiting.

“Inbar, Charlotte. Come with me for a moment. The Emperor listens to your stories and is interested. Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. ”

At last, when the horse that was waiting came out, Valine took a light breath.

Soon it will be revealed by Evelyn that she is Balin.

At that time, I was very excited to see the look on Duke Kettle's face.

“... ”

Leven laughs at you, thinking the same thing.

Bloop.

As they stood up, the gazes of the nobles gathered in a flash.

The central nobles responded to the march of Balin, and the ministers of the Great Wall responded to Duke Ketil's movements.

‘They had to. They had to. ’

"I don't have enough hands to take the High Septon with me, but if I could go to an outsider and build a ball like that..."

Most of the artisans in the Great Wall thought,

If only the elite Knights had an outstanding criminal record in hunting horses, it would have been worthwhile.

However, the central nobles' thoughts were divided in many ways.

Perhaps Duke Ratthross would not hesitate to do all the hard work to catch up.

If it is reported as it is, the plan to bury the Duke naturally must be abandoned.

Is that all? If the erl was tortured and told a story, they would turn against him.

If the two of them had been investigating ahead of time, and they had given their opinion on this matter, it would have been a total fluke.

"Oh, my God, is this all a trap?!" ’

The Great Wall! How did you buy the ball instead of Leven? ’

The disgraced nobles empowered each other with a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, the three of them gathered together in front of Evelyn, who was seated at the table.

“Your Majesty, these are the two people I've been looking at. Thanks to you, the Horse Extermination beyond the Great Wall...”

“... Phew! ”

Evelyn, who saw their faces, slammed my mouth shut for a moment.

I didn't do any illusions, so I realized who it was as soon as I saw it.

“... Fujii 45283;!???!? ”

Sonia, who was next to her, was also amazed.

Just when I smelled it, I was surprised, but when I saw the two real people, my heart thumped.

The Cadits beat faster than Humans. Moreover, as the excitement added, the sound was apparent to all five gathered.

It is fortunate to be strong as a sodmaster, otherwise it would not have been strange to pass out.

“... I see. Say hello, you two. ”

Huh?

Evelyn surprisingly said, pretending to know right away.

It's like I've never seen them before.

Balin's confused expression quickly knelt on his knees.

They must have come here without saying anything first.

So, whatever Evelyn's reaction is, I think we need to adjust it first.

Equally, Leven kneels.

Above her head, Evelyn covers her mouth and chuckles.

“Your Majesty?”

“No, no. They remind me of people I know. Isn't that right, Sonja? ”

“Huh?"

Approaching Sonia's crooked head, Evelyn whispers something.

Balin tries to listen to the magic using a zero-space, but he hears nothing because his words are so short.

“Then get up, you two. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After they got up, Evelyn raised her mouth slightly.

“The Ball of the Wizard of Pioneer Kingdom, very similar to someone I know. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“He was from Ruby Tower, who saved the kingdom from vampires and became my go-to man and won the competition. What have you been doing? Training or adventure? ”

“!!! ”

The expression on Balin's face that made him sleepy compared to himself was strange.

It seemed like I would pay the price for sneaking in here this time.

If the desperate man lied, he should be punished. Don't you think?

This is today's first episode. I feel comfortable because I have a good night's sleep and rest, and I think I can use it until the third episode today.

So, readers, I would really appreciate a suggestion before you go.
