“……I anticipated it, however seeing it transfer like that is fairly spectacular.”

As I sway on Matteo’s again, I can’t assist however whisper.

Matteo, with Percival and I on his again, is operating alongside the carriage Aurora is driving in.

I used to be going to have a horse ready for me to trip, however Percival instructed me that we might each trip Matteo, in order that’s what we determined to do. I’d slightly have Matteo, who I’m used to, give me a trip.

The travelling get together is led by the Royal Knights.

Within the carriage in entrance is the Crown Prince, adopted by the carriage with Aurora. Then come the diplomatic officers and maids of honour, adopted by the carriages carrying servants and their baggage. The Order of Magicians is in command of the backstage, in any case, it’s a massive group.

Amongst them, Percival and I stand out a bit of. We’re driving Matteo, which is a head or extra greater than the encompassing horses, however we’re additionally carrying the uniform of the Duke of Bloomfield as a result of we’re beneath contract to the Duke of Bloomfield and we’re escorting the Duke’s daughter. The ducal uniform is a deep navy blue, whereas the dominion’s is white. Since I’ve black hair, I seem like a shadow.

The Crown Prince and his get together departed beneath clear skies, good for a journey, however usually it could take 4 days to get to Tornx. Nonetheless, since this can be a royal journey, there might be no pressured motion. Furthermore, since there is no such thing as a method we are able to camp, it would take twice as lengthy. The lodging we might be staying in is of course not the sort of lodging that abnormal folks use.

I had made a variety of preparations for the journey earlier than we left, however they have been utterly pointless. Since we’re not tenting, we don’t want sleeping baggage, tents or cooking utensils. It’s a very easy journey as a result of I’m nearly by myself and the naked minimal of issues I carry are carried within the carriage, so I don’t should carry something with me.

His Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage are welcomed by the folks in each city, and the attractive and handsome Crown Prince and the attractive Aurora are very fashionable. The knights and magicians escorting them are having a troublesome time, although.

Percival and I quietly watch over them. I feel they’ll be wonderful as a result of there are glorious knights and magicians from the dominion, besides, I’ll keep watch over the environment in order that I can transfer rapidly if one thing ought to occur.

There are various issues of curiosity within the cities we cease at, however we are able to’t simply wander round away from the goal of our escort, so we maintain again. As an alternative, I simply hold my eyes peeled. Subsequent time I’ve time, I’ll take a better look.

The climate was good and the journey went properly. The meals on the inn is nice, and the Crown Prince and his get together get pleasure from a snug journey, sleeping soundly day-after-day on snug beds, earlier than lastly coming into Cornu, the royal capital of Tornx. As there had been a preliminary announcement, most of the folks had gathered alongside the roadside to catch a glimpse of the royal household of Solmontana as they crossed the border. Everyone seems to be smiling and waving.

“It’s actually thrilling, isn’t it?”

“Sure, it’s.”

Nationwide flags and flowers are displayed all around the metropolis, giving it a celebratory environment. They are saying we’ll have time to stroll across the metropolis between ceremonies and night events, so though we’re solely right here for every week or so, it seems to be like we’re going to have a great time.　

Upon arriving on the royal fortress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Aurora exchanged greetings with the members of the royal household and have been guided to the villa the place the Solmontana get together might be staying. The welcoming environment within the fortress is kind of cosy.

“Sapphiras-sama, Percival-sama. My plans for tomorrow are to attend a tea get together hosted by Her Royal Highness the Queen. The knights of Tornx and Solmontana will function escorts, so please be at liberty to spend the day as you please. Why don’t you go and benefit from the streets of Cornu?”

“Eh, is that okay?”

“Sure. Because it’s Sapphiras-sama, I’m assuming you’re within the bustling metropolis.”

“Ahaha, did you discover out in any case?”

“Sure, I can see that. You have been wanting on the metropolis with nice enjoyment.”

Aurora has utterly seen by me, but when that’s the case, I’ll take her phrase for it and take a stroll round Cornu.

“As a result of it is extremely full of life, I feel there might be lots of people. After all, I feel the safety on the streets may be very tight, however generally it’s inconceivable to achieve each nook as a result of there are lots of folks gathered. Subsequently, Percival-sama, please deal with Saphiras-sama.”

“Sure, I’ll.”

“……Hmm?”

Huh? Are they nonetheless fearful about me?

…

Percival and I eat the scrumptious breakfast laid out on the desk.

The freshly baked bread is so scrumptious, I might eat as many as I need.

“It’s an ideal day for a stroll, Percival.”

The climate outdoors the window is ideal for a stroll. I’d exit even when it was raining.

“Yeah, we’ll exit after dinner.”

“Are you taking place to the fortress city at this time?”

“Sure!”

“Throughout the celebration interval, Cornu’s central avenue is closed to carriages and horses. If you happen to exit by carriage, please watch out as you’ll have to stroll half method by.”

“Eh, is that so?”

The servant who introduced breakfast to our room kindly informs us.

“Sure. There are lots of people gathering in Cornu proper now. As an alternative, there are outlets all around the avenue, so I’m certain you’ll get pleasure from it.”

“Thanks for letting us know.”

Even so, the road is stuffed with outlets.

I reached for the bread and stopped. It’s higher to exit and eat one thing scrumptious!

“That’s wonderful, Percival!”

Because the servant instructed us, the city of Cornu was even busier than it had been yesterday once we arrived. It’s similar to folks from all around the surrounding nations have come right here. It’s not simply meals, you may even discover some uncommon magical gear.

“Sapphiras, give me your hand so we don’t get separated.”

As I used to be about to affix the circulate of individuals, Percival grabbed my hand.

I’m at all times so preoccupied with one thing that I lose monitor of my environment, so it’s higher to carry arms earlier than we get separated. Happy, I grabbed Percival’s hand.

“Effectively, let’s get some good meals from one finish to the opposite!”

“We’d higher do it carefully or we’ll miss dinner, wouldn’t we?”

“…… Ugh, you’re proper. And the meals they served us on the fortress was fairly good too, wasn’t it?”

The meals we had final night time was fairly good, so we are able to positively count on the identical tonight.

I need to eat this and that, however I’ve to be very selective about what I eat……whereas I used to be fascinated about this, all of a sudden a scream and the whinnying of a horse echoed across the space.

“What’s it?”

The folks round me have been additionally noisy, questioning what was occurring. There have been so many individuals that I couldn’t see what was occurring, however I managed to see {that a} carriage had stopped a brief distance away. However isn’t this avenue imagined to be closed to carriages and horses now?
