Chapter 155: The Cause to Assist

“So, please don’t enter the city and depart this nation instantly.” (Lifell)

The phrases spoken by Princess Lifell had been as a result of she was actually frightened about us, however I couldn’t reply instantly. There was successor downside on the Sandor fortress, so I understood that she was warning us to not get entangled as a result of it was extremely more likely to get caught. Nonetheless, I felt one thing unusual about Princess Lifell’s angle. On the identical time, I remembered the story of the knowledge vendor heard earlier.

[…By the way, even though the town seems to be peaceful, those who are in the castle are discussing about who the next king will be.] (Younger Man)

[If the eldest son succeed the throne, there will be not so much concern in this country.] (Sirius)

[That’s true. Even for an instant, there is a continent nearby swarmed with monsters. No matter who is born earlier, the country will be ruined if the country isn’t reigned by an outstanding leader.] (Younger Man)

[Aren’t there three candidates?] (Sirius)

[Yes. But the next king will probably be the eldest son, Sanger-sama. Anyhow, he was the one who found the three heroes of the previous Flood, and he is a prince who keeps his vassals as it is.] (Younger Man)

I additionally heard that the monitor file and the variety of wonderful vassals had been the elements that decided the following king, however once I heard the discuss, I didn’t assume anybody else could possibly be the following king apart from the eldest son. Once I requested why there was a dispute, the younger man appeared round and whispered to me with a voice that could possibly be heard solely to us.

[This is just a rumor. There were many people in the castle who don’t recognize Sanger-sama.] (Younger Man)

[You mean that is still going on even though he recruited the three heroes as his vessels?” (Sirius)

[Yes. The vassals have served the king for a long time… in other words, it isn’t weird if they know Sanger-sama from the time he was a child. I mean… shouldn’t they support him as the king of the country?] (Younger Man)

It appeared he was an odd individual as a king. It was additionally as a result of he was introduced fastidiously since he was an eldest son. Subsequently, he turned fairly smug. The vassals, who frightened that such a toddler would turn out to be king, desperately pushed up one other successor.

[So, how about the other two people?] (Sirius)

[Do you mean the rumor that spread around regarding other successors?] (Younger Man)

[If I’m not mistaken, they are the eldest daughter, Princess Julia, and the second son, Prince Ashley… correct?] (Sirius)

[Indeed… I think Julia-sama is qualified enough, you know? In addition to being excellent in wisdom and military power, she is a person with a beautiful face enough to fascinate men.] (Younger Man)

Julia was barely youthful that the eldest son, Sanger, and she or he appeared to be superior in swordsmanship. Apparently, her strategies had been skillful sufficient to compete in opposition to the primary and two within the nation. The younger man muttered in frustration that if the Heavenly Sword didn’t present up within the earlier Flood and if Julia-sama wasn’t a princess, she could be on condition that title as a hero. From this example, this younger man could be a fan of Princess Julia. As he stated to date, he put up a bitter smile and drank the sake poured into the cup.

[Well, Julia-sama is known as the Sword Princess in public, but it seems that she is more obsessed with the sword rather than the throne. It is such a waste if a beautiful woman only thinks about sword.] (Younger Man)

[Heh, I feel like seeing her.] (Reus)

[Oi, oi. Do you think you can easily meet Julia-sama? If you’re thinking about beautiful person, you have the Elf-Neesan over there, right?] (Younger Man)

[Don’t worry. This boy is only interested in strong swordsmen.] (Sirius)

[So, what kind of person is the last one?] (Reus)

[Ashley-sama… well, it is impossible for him. I can’t imagine that person will become a king, even for a bit.] (Younger Man)

With reference of Ashley, this younger man began speaking with a barely upset expression. He simply talked about him in contrast to the opposite two.

[That person is a person who has no motivation among all three. He is an irresponsible prince who hid his identity and goes out to town like every day. I heard that he recently started seeing a certain harlot.] (Younger Man)

[In other words, he is a gutless person. But, isn’t strange that there are people who want him to be a king?] (Reus)

[That might be because it will be easier for them to control the king. There is such a talk about… how the king is a mere figurehead, but the ones who control the country are the vassals.] (Sirius)

[Nii-san is really sharp, isn’t it? That’s right. There is a rumor that he is playing around because he doesn’t want to get involved with such people. Well, in my opinion, he is playing around because he is having fun.] (Younger Man)

I wasn’t positive if the explanation why Ashley was taking part in was to run away from the fortress, however I felt that this younger man knew varied causes. As I used to be satisfied in my thoughts, Reus observed one thing whereas trying towards the younger man.

[I know it! You are strangely familiar because you heard it from Ashley, right?] (Reus)

[…Well, yes. It is a hassle if that is known, so please say nothing about it.] (Younger Man)

Since I didn’t plan to interact him any longer than this, I obediently nodded. As I had obtained mandatory data, I went to pay for the meals and drinks together with the younger man’s portion too, however then, his final phrases raised my issues.

[In my opinion, that person feels that the situation in the castle right now is suspicious. It is not about the problem with the successor… it is something else.] (Younger Man)

[Something else?] (Sirius)

[To be honest, I can’t explain well. But… no. Anyway, Nii-san and others should be careful. If you are an influential person who is accompanied by that wolf, there is no mistake that those people will involve you.] (Younger Man)

Hokuto didn’t comply with me due to my talents, however as I anticipated, it was seen that manner by different folks. After consuming and speaking had been over, I used to be asking myself to meddle for a bit to the younger man who had rotated. I used to be conscious that it was a meddling, however I personally like that younger man.

[I don’t know if you realize this, but when you talk to other people, don’t just pay attention to where they are looking, but also the blinking of the eyes. Well, the number of blinks will increase if they are lying.] (Sirius)

[Really? Damn it… Has that guy found out about my lies? Anyway, thanks.] (Younger Man)

The younger man nodded obediently. It could be as a result of he accepted my recommendation. He put up a refreshing smile and left the place.

—

The younger man, who was the knowledge vendor, warned us due to not solely the potential for us getting forcibly recruited, but additionally one thing unknown. From the purpose of Princess Lifell, who stayed within the fortress, entered the city simply to offer us warning, it was extremely seemingly that we’ll get caught with the troublesome issues occurring within the fortress. The rationale why Senia visited right here was for data gathering, and she or he in all probability continued doing that whereas we met the knowledge vendor It made me assume she was reserving the inn due to the identical purpose. Principally, I in all probability ought to depart the city by contemplating the protection of the disciples, however I instructed Princess Lifell with a severe expression.

“Lifell-hime. What’s going on within the fortress?” (Sirius)

“What are you saying? Didn’t I simply inform you concerning the strife of the following successor?” (Lifell)

“Alright. Let me change the query. How about Lifell-hime’s security? I imply not simply the following successor downside, are you getting contain in another troublesome issues?” (Sirius)

“Effectively… it’s definitely a difficult state of affairs. Really, there’s a chance that I shall be engaged with the Sandor prince.” (Lifell)

“Ma-marriage!? Nee-sama!?” (Reese)

To sum up, it was a wedding for political causes. Soften displayed a slight response to these phrases, however whether or not he was conscious of it or not, he saved trying outdoors with out saying something. Reese pressed for solutions concerning the marriage discuss heard from the sister’s mouth, however Princess Lifell calmly stroked her sister’s head.

“I’m not in a rush, and I haven’t determined but. Since it’s a discuss by the bunch in fortress who conspire the wedding between me and the second son of the Sandor royalties to tie the hyperlink to Elysion.” (Lifell)

“The second son, is it? Is it Ashley that Nii-chan stated?” (Reus)

“That’s proper. Nonetheless, so long as Cardeas-sama is there, I don’t assume that political marriage will proceed.” (Sirius)

“After all! Did Tou-sama say something!?” (Reese)

“Tou-san will not be in Sandor’s fortress proper now. He has gone to the entrance line base with the kings of different international locations.” (Lifell)

The entrance line base talked about was stated to be one of many barrier wall of Sandor that confronted the Demonic Continent. It took half a day with a horse from this place. It was the most important of the wall current in Sandor and it was sturdy constructed. There have been many boundaries that may cease the monsters marching from the Demonic Continent as a result of Flood, however that place was known as the entrance line base as a result of it was the pivotal level of protection. Not solely Cardeas was on the entrance base, however apparently, he went there along with the Beast King of Arbitray. By the way in which, Princess Lifell and others would possibly predicted that Reese would come right here quickly.

“Since there are a number of the kings who come to Sandor for the primary time, an inspection was performed to indicate the proficiency of the troopers and the partitions that are the image of the nation. It’ll take a number of days for Tou-san and others to return again, they usually appear attempting to take the chance to proceed with the engagement.” (Lifell)

“Nee-sama, after all, the engagement is–…” (Reese)

“I’ve determined to not do it and I’m not going to get married to this nation.” (Lifell)

“That’s proper. Lifell-ane is the very best whenever you’ll be the queen of Elysion.” (Reus)

“You perceive properly, Reus. Since you’re a good boy, please come right here.” (Lifell)

“Lifell-ane. I’m already not a toddler anymore. Apart from Aniki, I received’t really feel pleased to have my head stroked by others, you recognize?” (Reus)

“I wish to contact your ears. Senia’s and Emilia’s ears are additionally comfortable and I like that. Plus, I additionally like your refined agency ears.” (Lifell)

“It could actually’t be helped then.” (Reus)

It appeared that they had been getting alongside since their positions had been like a brother and a sister. Whether or not Princess Lifell calmed down after touching the ears of the incoming Reus, she started to smile to make us relieved whereas continued the discuss.

“Anyhow, I’ve no plan to satisfy their expectation. Therefore, it’s best to relaxation assured as a result of the prince of the opposite aspect can be not . Really, I had the dinner with the prince alone immediately, but it surely was humorous after we solely talked concerning the problem of the engagement.” (Lifell)

Because of the vassals who set the stage, the dinner assembly was held to deepen the connection of one another however, quite the opposite, it turned a technique assembly to destroy the wedding discuss. Because of this, it appeared that she had determined to cooperate with the opposite social gathering to the route of messing up the discuss.

Really, I used to be additionally pondering the potential for the second prince betraying Princess Lifell by performing to cooperate along with her, however taking a look at her who had the dialog with him, it appeared that the second prince was a dependable individual. It appeared like there have been some proof to imagine him, together with the ladies’s instinct, we shouldn’t want to fret concerning the engagement.

As we heard that Reese was letting out a breath of aid, Fia, who was sitting on the following mattress, requested a query.

“That remind me. I heard that the king of Sandor fell sick, however he may nonetheless go to the entrance line base. I’m wondering if that data was a lie?” (Fia)

“That’s true. It appears to be like just like the king is having difficulties to stroll, so he’s the one king who at present beneath medical care in his personal room of the fortress. A lot of the political affairs are performed by the vassals, but it surely appears to be like like every inconvenient issues usually are not reported to the king.” (Lifell)

In response to Princess Lifell, the king wasn’t concerned int he political marriage in any respect. Apparently, it was a results of the vassals deciding issues on their very own. I believed that it was unusual to attempt having reference to Elysion, a rustic that was a far-off from right here, but it surely appeared like their goal was Rodwell, the top of the varsity.

“Our royal household and Rodwell-Ojiisama are like a household. If I’m married to Sandor, they attain a step away from Ojii-sama.” (Lifell)

“In different phrases, the wedding is a imply for connecting to the Magic Grasp… is it?” (Sirius)

“I don’t know whether or not it’s inexcusable for this whitewashing for the sake of preserving the nation, however they’re ignoring the desire of the individual herself and use her for political maneuvers, and I can’t forgive those that deal with ladies that manner.” (Fia)

“Ouh! If one thing occurred to Lifell-ane, I’ll blow all the things away!” (Reus)

“Settle down, Reus. If you’re going to get into the fortress, you have to have permission from Sirius-sama and a correct plan.” (Emilia)

“Soften-san, are you wonderful with all these!? Not as her imperial guard, however I can’t forgive you as a person when you say nothing!” (Reese)

“No, what I really feel in direction of these folks nonetheless hasn’t change. Plus, now’s–…” (Soften)

“Ku–…” (Karen)

“Hehe, her sleeping face is cute too. I need this lady!” (Lifell)

“Woof.” (Hokuto)

“…Will you come down directly?” (Sirius)

As they began planning to go away for the fortress and pressed on Soften, once I observed it, the place turned chaotic as Princess Lifell felt healed by the sleeping face of Karen. For the reason that dialogue wouldn’t proceed on this circumstances, I calmed down everybody, and received again to the dialogue.

“Cough… anyhow, that’s my present state of affairs. The king can’t transfer is an effective alternative for the vassals to behave on their very own, and there are individuals who attempt to use me despite the fact that I’m a princess of one other nation. Since you’ll undoubtedly get entangled if the folks within the fortress know that you’re right here, I would really like you to go away Sandor as quickly as attainable.” (Lifell)

“How ought to I do that? We’re pleased that you’re frightened about us, however we turn out to be frightened now after we heard what’s going on.” (Sirius)

“Are you alright about this, Nee-sama? I really feel that the engagement matter is one way or the other manageable, however are you positive that you’ll not get caught up in something extra horrible than that?” (Reese)

“In contrast to in Elysion, Lifell-ane and others have much less allies.” (Reus)

“Sure, it’s not sufficient, however I’ll be wonderful since I’ve a superb and reliable guard. Particularly these guards who shield me, they had been educated by that Strongest Sword.” (Lifell)

The troopers introduced from Elysion had been lower than a thousand, however that included 5 imperial guards of Princess Lifell, and Soften was one among them. They had been those that had been instantly recruited by Princess Lifell. I heard that they had been loyal and superior in talents, however I used to be really extra involved concerning the Strongest Sword she talked about.

“Strongest Sword… uhm, did Jii-chan got here!?” (Reus)

“He confirmed up some time after you guys went for a journey. He appeared to have visited simply to indicate his sword to the blacksmith.” (Lifell)

Then, Princess Lifell met Lior-Jiisan by likelihood, and negotiated with him. It appeared she succeeded in hiring the outdated man to offer swordsmanship coaching to the troopers of the fortress. I thought of that it could take a while to restore such a powerful sword, so maybe, he accepted with a sense near killing time. In a way, that was how Soften received stronger.

“Even so, you had been capable of persuade that outdated man who hates nobles and royalties, is it?” (Emilia)

“You’re the one who speaks that individual as an outdated man. I additionally lured him with meals, but it surely wasn’t tough as soon as I let loose Emilia’s title. Aah, sorry about utilizing your title arbitrarily.” (Lifell)

“I don’t thoughts, however I assume it was a momentous resolution. And to let that outdated man trains the troopers…” (Emilia)

“Aah. Soften-Oniichan, you had been alright.” (Reus)

“…I’m wondering why I’m nonetheless alive. In that half a yr, I used to be ready to die many instances, however… due to that, I’m absolutely received stronger. It was tough to the purpose of occasional nightmare I had.” (Soften)

“It’s onerous to say that you’re secure.” (Sirius)

That Jii-san wasn’t good at making changes. When he began educating swordsmanship to Reus, I needed to keep watching on the aspect. It was harmful. There have been many instances Reus would get lower into half if I solely I didn’t step in. In brief, it was due to Reus that he… No, it appeared that Jii-san had study to go straightforward on folks a minimum of. Though Reus was youthful, Soften and different imperial guards in all probability ought to thank him.

“Effectively, I regretted asking although, however due to him, my imperial guards have turn out to be stronger. They can flip the tide over even when surrounded by enemies. For starters, will probably be dangerous for them to instantly put us in risks. As I anticipated, these folks perceive that properly.” (Lifell)

Despite the fact that it was stated to be the most important nation on the planet, there have been a number of international locations that had no distinction when it comes to nationwide power. If it turned a state of affairs of sending troopers for a struggle between international locations, Sandor must face not solely the troopers of different international locations, but additionally the monsters of the Demonic Continent on the identical time. Even when the Flood of monsters occurred each few years, the state of affairs the place monsters fell from the Demonic Continent and got here to assault Sandor nonetheless occurred every so often. They wouldn’t have the ability to scale back the variety of troopers who completely stayed on the partitions, and it was uncertain if they may protect the nation in the event that they waged a struggle.

“In different phrases, the one that needs to put hand on us is both a idiot who thinks about world conquest or a loopy individual. It is sort of a low cost trick, however I by no means thought that they had been pondering of silly issues to that extent.” (Lifell)

Then, Princess Lifell smiled at us whereas asking us to attend at Elysion. Though it was a smile that reassured the environment, Reese remained anxious.

“…Sirius-san.” (Reese)

“Sure, I additionally really feel the identical.” (Sirius)

As I observed Reese, who checked out me, I nodded to inform her to say what she wished after matching her eyes with mine.

“Nee-sama. We wish to return to Elysion along with Nee-sama and Tou-sama.” (Reese)

“What a difficult lady. Don’t you perceive the sensation of an older sister who will not be wished to be swayed by the duty of royal households or egocentric adults?” (Lifell)

“…It’s completely different. If it’s the standard Nee-sama, you’ll settle for it with a bitter smile. Additionally, you will assume the way to fulfill the aim whereas defending us. I assume you might be in a fairly harsh state of affairs, proper?” (Reese)

“It’s robust as a result of we’ve got to be extra cautious particularly when abroad. It is best to have the ability to perceive with regards to royalties, a slight alternative can turn out to be a giant downside, proper?” (Lifell)

“Lifell-hime. I wish to ask yet another query.” (Sirius)

Once I forcibly interrupted because the temper was getting bitter, Princess Lifell turned a pointy have a look at me and appeared displeased. Though it had a way of intimidation as a royalty which differs from an in depth relationship, she didn’t say something as if telling me to speak, so I continued speaking.

“Is there something that you’re anxious, Lifell-sama?” (Sirius)

“I simply instructed you. Please cease asking the identical query.” (Lifell)

“No, it’s one thing completely different than that. Due to ‘that’, you are attempting to maintain us away, proper?” (Sirius)

Really, whereas coming back from the bar to the inn, I attempted investigating Sandor extensively through the use of [Search] to examine the state of affairs of the city. It was unimaginable to establish people resulting from a long way to the fortress, however the results of the investigation was… plenty of huge mana response I observed from the fortress. It was seemingly the response of the heroes, however for some purpose, I used to be curious concerning the response. I couldn’t confirmed but as a result of it was a mere instinct, however I couldn’t ignore the current state of affairs since I felt an uncomfortable feeling from the angle of Princess Lifell. Whether or not she knew that she couldn’t run away from the topic, she let loose a deep sigh whereas nodding her head.

“Aah… goodness? Shouldn’t you perceive that it’s going to be a problem when you keep right here? Why do you wish to get entangled a lot?” (Lifell)

“I’m fear about Nee-sama. Nee-sama and Tou-sama are ours–… I imply it’s important to see our marriage ceremony ceremony, so it’s not good if we aren’t going again collectively!” (Reese)

“I additionally share comparable thought with Reese. If there’s something, allow us to assist you.” (Sirius)

“Is it not good if we wish to assist you, Lifell-ane?” (Reus)

“Look, we’re conspicuous regardless of the place we go, and we’re used to troublesome issues.” (Emilia)

With out discussing with them, everybody agreed as properly. If I needed to be sincere, it was a problem to get caught up within the royal turmoil, but it surely was completely different if my acquaintances had been concerned. So as to be proud of Reese, the existence of Princess Lifell and Cardeas had been important. If we adopted what Princess Lifell stated and one thing occurred to them, we’d remorse for the remainder of our lives. Extra importantly, if Reese and I had been tying the knot…

“Don’t take into consideration the involvement, simply rely upon us extra. That’s as a result of Lifell-sama will… no, Lifell-san shall be my sister-in-law.” (Sirius)

“Uuh!?” (Reese)

After admitting that I might marry Reese, Princess Lifell could be my sister-in-law any further. In different phrases, there was no purpose wanted to assist household. Whether or not they had been shocked my phrases as I attempted to alleviate the temper, Soften knowledgeable the dumbfounded Princess Lifell to steer her.

“Hime-sama. Senia will not be right here proper now, so let me say this as an alternative. I believe it’s best to ask for his or her assist.” (Soften)

“Soften…” (Lifell)

“I perceive your feeling that you just don’t need Reese-sama and everybody else to get entangled, however everyone seems to be frightened about you in the identical manner.” (Soften)

“However…” (Lifell)

“I’ll shield you with all my power, however I’ve my limitation. Nonetheless, if they’re there, I believe not solely me, however Hime-sama can also face the state of affairs simpler. You haven’t correctly rested since we got here to Sandor, proper?” (Soften)

It was additionally due to unfamiliar place, however the state of stress had continued since arriving at Sandor, it appeared that she had amassed psychological exhaustion. It didn’t really feel even somewhat about this example, but it surely appeared that she couldn’t mislead Reese whom she took care since childhood. That was why she wouldn’t depart the ‘Three Sacred Treasures’ till she was healed. The same old Soften was at all times being swayed by Princess Lifell, but it surely was an uncommon sight the place he clearly expressed up to now.

“Even when we return to Elysion and meet you there, received’t Cardeas-sama get mad if Reese-sama return similar to that?” (Soften)

“Don’t say that. What sort of imperial guard who go in opposition to the desire of his Grasp?” (Lifell)

“I’m simply selecting the very best technique shield you, Hime-sama. If we’ve got them, it could be higher.” (Soften)

He understood that it was unimaginable for himself alone, so he wish to ask our assist in line with the state of affairs. As anticipated of him going by means of the borderline between life and dying (from the dojo of the Strongest Sword), it appeared the one factor he was devastated was his personal weaknesses.

Princess Lifell in all probability didn’t count on to be persuaded by Soften. Her expression crumbled as if she gave up, after which, she held the shoulders of Reese who was subsequent to me.

“Expensive me, you might have actually grown up for saying such issues to me. In truth, I wish to rejoice together with your development, however I really feel considerably sophisticated now.” (Lifell)

“You… you might have been treating me like a toddler. I need you to rely upon me for a bit, alright.” (Reese)

“I see, I used to be fallacious. Once I give it some thought, you might be already a spouse. Along with your bodily and psychological, you might be already a splendid grownup.” (Lifell)

“Nee-sama!?” (Reese)

For Princess Lifell, Reese was somebody she ought to shield, but it surely appeared she realized that she shouldn’t push her ideas on her grown sister. On this manner, Princess Lifell, who had returned to her standard tone, slowly lowered her head after trying to everybody.

“Let me say this as soon as once more. Everybody, please lend me your energy.” (Lifell)

“I’m unsure how far I may help you, however I’ll lend my hand as a lot as attainable. By the way in which, the query I requested earlier…” (Sirius)

“You imply, to what am I feeling anxious proper now, is it? Earlier than I reply that, why did you ask that query? You guys haven’t been into the fortress, and also you haven’t entered the city but, appropriate?” (Lifell)

“I felt one thing unusual about your response, however that’s principally instinct.” (Sirius)

“I see. I don’t dare to ask what’s the purpose, however one way or the other, we appear to be monitored by the fortress.” (Lifell)

“This can be a completely different nation even when there isn’t a hostile relationship. So, I believe that it isn’t bizarre to be monitored.” (Sirius)

“Absolutely, you bought that proper, however there are numerous instances the place I can’t discover the one that are watching us, which is creepy.” (Lifell)

Typically, they had been watched by the fortress’s troopers, however more often than not, they couldn’t wonderful those that monitored them. Even Senia, who had sharper instinct, appeared to lose sight of it. Ultimately, the identification remained unknown. Princess Lifell additionally involved concerning the succession dispute and the engagement, however the worst one was the sensation of being always monitored. After all, she criticism to the folks of the fortress, however they stated that they didn’t know. Effectively, if no proof of monitoring could possibly be discovered, it wasn’t amusing to assume that she was simply nervous.

“I’m used to being seen, however I can’t connect with the temper of the fortress and I can’t relax. Despite the fact that the fortress is getting worse due to the successor dispute, I wish to reduce the burden on my thoughts.” (Lifell)

“How about you, Soften-Niichan?” (Reus)

“I’m lower than Hime-sama’s extent, however it’s a fortress that I don’t wish to keep lengthy.” (Soften)

Not simply because she lived as a royalty, she was clever and sharp instinct, in order that was why she felt extra uncomfortable. Apparently, our predominant job was to guard everybody from that mysterious presence.

“Nee-sama, why Senia was right here on this village?” (Reese)

“It was for data gathering. There may be an data vendor who will not be solely acquainted about the entire nation, but additionally underground world. Evidently Senia will take a while to earn belief from the individuals who shaped this village.” (Lifell)

Though they didn’t come out personally, she was investigating variously concerning the fortress. She went out and in of the village many instances, and when she lastly received a promise to see the very best data retailer in Sandor, she met us.

Then, on account of thorough dialogue, Princess Lifell determined to ask us to the fortress. Since I used to be an imperial guard of Princess Lifell on paper, she would fake that she met me by likelihood. It could be harmful, but when we enter the fortress, the potential for discovering the supply of discomfort was additionally excessive, so I ought to act fastidiously. After the dialogue ended, I finished Princess Lifell and Soften, who put arms on the door of the room as they wished to get again to the fortress.

“Lifell-Hime, please wait a second.” (Sirius)

“What’s it? If it’s concerning the welcoming, I believe will probably be over the afternoon. You don’t have to fret as a result of I’ll ship somebody. Aah, if we’re collectively and there’s no one else, I don’t thoughts when you name me sister-in-law.” (Lifell)

“It’s not that. Please put down Karen.” (Sirius)

“…Let me borrow her a bit.” (Lifell)

“It’s no good.” (Sirius)

“…You stingy.” (Lifell)

“Hime-sama, wouldn’t it look dangerous when you convey again a toddler?” (Soften)

Soften gently pointed that out to the grasp had scornful eyes and inflated cheeks. Though I had a sense that I didn’t maintain again since a very long time in the past, evidently I didn’t want to carry again anymore from calling her sister-in-law.

“It must be wonderful if I inform that she is our little one. Maybe, breaking off the engagement shall be simpler with that.” (Lifell)

“It’ll worsen!” (Soften)

“Nee-sama, I’ll so long, so immediately…” (Reese)

Princess Lifell, who gave up by Reese’s persuasion, reluctantly put Karen on the mattress, and tried to go away the room…

“Please depart Reese too.” (Sirius)

“Stingy!” (Lifell)

—

Reese embraced Princess Lifell as soon as once more, after which, she left the room with Soften. After that, Reese checked out everybody and bowed with a giant smile.

“Everybody, thanks very a lot.” (Reese)

“Don’t fear about it. It’s as how Sirius-sama stated it. Lifell-sama additionally shall be my sister-in-law.” (Emilia)

“Yup. There isn’t a manner I can depart her alone if she is a household of Reese-ane, proper?” (Reus)

“We promised to have a drink collectively, and we haven’t end the match of the youthful sister but.” (Fia)

“Woof.” (Hokuto)

“Hehe… then, after we return to Elysion as soon as that is over, let’s make one thing scrumptious for Nee-sama.” (Reese)

The Reese prior to now would have apologized for getting us concerned, however she trusted and relied on everybody from the underside of the guts and she or he put up a playful smile. I used to be pleased with my spouse and companions who moved for the sake of household with out the necessity to fear about loss and acquire. Karen was sleeping, however I used to be positive that she was prepared to go to the fortress. I need to shield this bond and nice ambiance.

Like this, we had been alleged to enter the fortress the place the Legendia had been happening, however from Princess Lifell’s discuss, there was undoubtedly nervousness. Nonetheless, an excessive amount of stress was a supply of failure, so I simply saved it as standard. For that purpose, we didn’t take a relaxation instantly. We began to have briefing session and deliberate for countermeasures to those that could be enemies.

—

The subsequent day, after leaving the inn and the village, we got here to the gate of the wall early within the morning. We had been questioned by the gatekeeper saying that Hokuto was harmful, however we had been capable of enter the fortress city of Sandor as a result of the row of ready was brief since we arrived early.

“Waahh… though it’s a city, the highway is basically spacious! As-Jii will have the ability to stroll as properly.” (Karen)

“It isn’t unusual to have such a large highway on the town.” (Reus)

“The looks is nice, and that’s made in all probability to make the visitors easy.” (Sirius)

As Karen stated, the stone paving roads had been superbly lined up and it was straightforward to go with as a lot as 5 carriages. The paved highway… or the principle highway prolonged straight towards the fortress the place we may see it in entrance of us. If we have a look at the left and proper sides of the highway, there have been varied retailers we may see, they usually had been doing enterprise with adventurers and individuals who lived within the city. The highway the place giant and small buildings could possibly be seen had been peaceable as we had heard earlier than, and it was a surroundings that we couldn’t think about {that a} dispute was occurring within the fortress.

“I’ve heard it earlier than, however I didn’t count on that the nation is basically large.” (Emilia)

“It appears the solar will set simply by strolling round. It’s unimaginable for now, however I wish to take a better look later.” (Fia)

“The meals of that store look scrumptious. Let’s go purchase later.” (Reese)

“Hey, what’s that? There are plenty of books offered in that store!” (Karen)

Because it was the primary time Karen got here to a city the place it was completely different from villages and settlements, Karen, who had her wings beneath the gown, had glittering eyes, and moved her neck with out stopping. Simply to make sure, Fia additionally hid her ears within the city, however since Hokuto was actually stood out, we went off the principle highway and into the shadow of buildings.

“Now… let’s wait till somebody choose us up.” (Sirius)

“It’s solely a bit onerous to cover right here. Despite the fact that will probably be quickly, she stated that it could be afternoon or night, so lets discover a place to relaxation?” (Emilia)

“We could examine if there’s a good lodging?” (Reese)

“No, it’s higher to maneuver as quick as attainable on this city. Let’s ask folks round.” (Sirius)

“…Woof!” (Hokuto)

As I made a decision so and tried to go away the shadow of the buildings, Hokuto immediately made a small barked to lift warning. I couldn’t see the determine but, however I discover an indication that got here straight to us.

“It’s unusual to go by right here, however there isn’t a bloodlust… huh.” (Sirius)

“…Sirius-sama. There’s a odor of an individual.” (Emilia)

“The Spirits didn’t say something.” (Fia)

“Mine too.” (Reese)

“Aniki, ought to we be alert?” (Reus)

“That individual could come to see Hokuto, so we don’t should be too alert. Fia and Karen, please keep within the carriage in the meanwhile.” (Sirius)

“I wish to purchase books!” (Karen)

“Sure, sure, we’ll go there after this.” (Fia)

We naturally gathered consideration as a result of we had an Elf and a Hundred Wolves, however there weren’t many individuals coming nearer. It was as a result of they had been afraid of Hokuto and couldn’t come nearer. So, those that got here to us had been both somebody just like the curious younger man yesterday, or grasping folks. Nonetheless, there was just one individual approaching this time. I didn’t really feel any response who appeared to be companions within the environment, however simply to be secure, I requested Karen and Fia to hid to keep away from such grasping folks.

Then, a person appeared on the identical time when Fia hugged Karen and hid contained in the carriage. As he confirmed our figures, he deeply bowed.

“The group with a Hundred Wolves… are you Sirius-sama? I’ve been ready for you.” (Man)

“Who’re you?” (Reus)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

Reus and Hokuto was obtrusive at him since he knew my title, however the man earlier than me wasn’t perturbed in any respect. He even put up a mild smile.

“I see… then you might be Sirius-sama, appropriate? Welcome to Sandor.” (Man)

“Are you aware about us?” (Sirius)

“After all. Each of you’re the champion and the runner up of the Combating Competition that was held final yr. I didn’t see it instantly, however I heard that it was a incredible match that anybody can acknowledge.” (Man)

“Don’t you assume that may be a sham?” (Reus)

“There isn’t a manner anybody can convey alongside a Hundred Wolves however you, and I can also really feel that you’re robust man.” (Man)

From the purpose that he was conscious of our power with out preventing, this man have to be somebody influential. Though it wasn’t for a battle, odd folks often turned unable to maneuver due to Reus intimidation or they received afraid of Hokuto. Not solely on the Combating Competition, but additionally different locations. So, it wasn’t amusing if we’re recognized… was it?

Nonetheless, even his method was courteous, I wouldn’t let my guard all the way down to a person who hadn’t given out his title but. The person would possibly observed about my thought as he began to introduce himself whereas reducing his head.

“Sorry for being late to inform you this. My title is Zilard, and I’m the one who’s given the title God’s Eyes by the king. I’m welcoming everybody on behalf of Sanger-sama.” (Zilard) (TLN: The title in uncooked is ジラード)

I didn’t count on God’s Eyes, the hero of the nation, to select us up. He discovered us instantly despite the fact that we simply entered the city… the pace of this interfering was quick. It appeared the title of God’s Eyes wasn’t only a mere exhibit. That didn’t made us careless, but it surely additional elevate the vigilance to this nation.

“However you recognize, Lifell-ane was capable of come out from the fortress. Because it appears to be like suspicious even when she covers her face with a hood, she is more likely to be known as by the troopers within the fortress, proper?” (Reus)

“It was wonderful as a result of the disguise was excellent.” (Lifell)

Along with the modifications in hair shade and coiffure, her shabby appearances didn’t make anyone thought that she was a royalty.

Primarily based on the setting I heard earlier, folks wouldn’t assume different that Soften was hiring a harlot that appeared like Princess Lifell.

“In spite of everything, Senia labored actually onerous. No one observed that I used to be Lifell.” (Lifell)

Once I appeared intently, I observed that her chests had been getting greater. Talking of the earlier life, it gave me a sense that the cup dimension elevated by three levels, however eh… she fairly stuffed up, huh? Effectively, I didn’t assume that she would develop that a lot in a single yr interval. Since ladies had been delicate to stares, I rapidly diverted my eyes from Princess Lifell, however…

“You might be absolutely completely different than the standard, Nee-sama.” (Reese)

“Lifell-ane’s chests are unnaturally large, isn’t it?” (Reus)

“You guys, go seiza over there.” (Lifell)

““Y-yes…”” (Reus/Reese)

Reese was uncovered due to delayed response to divert her eyes, whereas Reese was precisely stepping on the landmine. Then, it took some time earlier than Princess Lifell calmed down.
