May this be the scent of this world’s fragrance? Did Cassia put on it as a result of she is visiting the Earl of Selmar? Sure, that needs to be it, proper? If not for that event, then why would she even hassle with it?

It’s an unbelievably candy perfume, the one which goes completely with Cassia’s regal look and the way elegant and fairly she is, and the beautiful gown and the tiara-like head accent that she’s carrying make her much more lovely, although it was one thing that I by no means thought was going to be doable.

If I’m going to be visiting the Earl of Selmar together with Cassia, then I don’t care about how that assembly goes to go, simply so long as I get to spend extra time along with her.

「You don’t have to fret about something, Lord Michio, this isn’t going to take lengthy. And if you find yourself liking that place, then you definitely’ll be free to go to it once more anytime you need.」

「I see. I will likely be in your care then.」

「Very properly. I’m glad to see that you simply’re so cooperative.」

I bow to Cassia in return whereas doing my finest to disregard the Duke, who was proper subsequent to her the whole time. Ignore him, Michio, simply ignore him.

I don’t know if it’s simply my very own creativeness or not, however the Duke appears to me rather more impatient at the moment than ordinary. Then once more, if it’s him that we’re speaking about, then I assume I ought to have anticipated that one thing like that was going to occur.

「Nicely then, are you able to go, Lord Michio?」

「Uhm, y-yeah, positive…. However wait! What about my garments?」

「What about them? I don’t thoughts in case you keep simply the best way you might be if that getup is what you are feeling probably the most snug with.」

「A-And my sword?」

「There must be no issues with it so long as you set it in your Merchandise Field.」

I attempt to provide you with varied excuses that might stop me from going to fulfill with the Earl, however all of them have been swiftly and totally rejected by the Duke who supplied me with good options to every certainly one of them.

And so, whereas having no selection on the matter in anyway, we had been quickly joined by an Adventurer kind the Knight Order of Hartz Duchy who was added to the Duke’s Social gathering in order that he may take us to the territory of Selmar, the place the earl of Selmar was residing, all through the usage of the Adventurer Knight’s 「Area Walker」 Talent in fact. Mere seconds later, after the warping was initiated, we have now arrived in a spot that seemed much like the Bode fortress’s foyer, which makes me marvel: does the fortress of the Earl of Selmar have precisely the identical development because the one belonging to the Duke of Bode?

「The Duke of Hartz, accompanied by 5 individuals, has arrived!」

The Knight Adventurer from our Social gathering introduced our arrival fairly loudly to the Knight who was standing on the different facet of the foyer.

「I’ve been ready on your arrival. Please, enable me to be your information at the moment.」

The knight from the opposite facet responds respectfully and with an uncommon quantity of politeness for a Knight. Not less than his response appears to be hinting that the association for us to reach right here has already been made, so on the very least its not like we’re coming right here unannounced.

Nicely, in fact it should have been introduced to the Earl and the individuals on the fortress beforehand. If it wasn’t, we might have fairly an issue in any other case.

It’s nice that the one who arrange this assembly was Cassia, not the Duke. If he and the Earl of Selmar actually don’t get alongside all that properly, then who is aware of what would possibly’ve occurred if he tried to rearrange for the assembly to be held, or if the assembly could be allowed to be held in any respect.

「We’re going to be in your care then.」

「The 5 individuals, besides the Adventurer, please comply with me. As for the Adventurer, please wait right here.」

The guiding Knight then heads inside the fortress. Huh? Why do I’ve to go together with everybody else? Am I not an Adventurer (no less than of their understanding) as properly?

「Let’s go then.」

The Duke nods at me and goes inside. Ought to I be taking that nod of his as a sign that there isn’t a issues and I don’t should be afraid of something? I imply, Cassia adopted behind the Duke fairly readily, so if she thinks that there’s nothing to be cautious off, then I assume there’s nothing left for me to do however to comply with them alongside since I can not afford to let myself fall behind them or I would simply get misplaced on this place.

After strolling for some time after which going up stairs, we lastly arrive in entrance of an enormous door to what I assume is the Earl’s throne room?

「The Earl is awaiting you inside.」

「In fact. The 2 of you wait right here.」

The Duke says whereas entrusting one of many Knights in our Social gathering together with his Orichalcum Sword. With the present association, solely three individuals are going to go inside the throne room: the Duke, Cassia and myself. Additionally, plainly even somebody just like the Duke is just not allowed to hold a weapon past this level, which is sensible contemplating that he’s not in his personal territory, however any person else’s.

I’ve already put my weapon inside my Merchandise Field, and it appears Cassia didn’t deliver any weapon along with her, so the 2 of us are within the clear. As such, the Knight that was guiding us right here opened the door for us.

The room forward was, similar to I believed it was going to be, a throne room, though it was not the one on the massive facet of issues. Really, it was reasonably small, fully not like what I used to be anticipating to see, similar to the particular person sitting on the throne in the midst of the chamber.

The one who was sitting there was a fats Elf. So, this man is the Earl of Selmar? I checked him out with 「Determine」 out of curiosity and noticed that he was a forty years previous Elf with Knight Lv.21 as his Job.

I’ve to confess: contemplating his age, that degree of his is just not notably spectacular. Additionally, why is he so fats? Can Elves even get so fats? Nicely, since he’s so fats, then they apparently can, but it surely doesn’t make this any much less of a shock. And what’s additionally stunning but annoying on the identical time is the truth that although he’s fats, he’s nonetheless one way or the other good trying, which is one thing that I by no means thought was going to be doable.

Fucking handsome fatso. Simply go blow your self up, will you?!

An enormous curtain is hanging behind the throne that the Earl of Selmar is sitting on, and I acknowledged the sample that has been embroidered on the left a part of it, since I’ve seen it a lot of occasions earlier than.

It’s the emblem of the Hartz Duchy, and as quickly as we walked into the throne room, the Duke walked in the direction of it with a step that I may solely describe as smug.

「Come inside, Lord Michio.」

Cassia referred to as out to me, urging me to stroll ahead with them as properly.

I believed the order during which we’ll be coming into could be the Duke > Cassia > me, but it surely appears it’s really going to be the Duke, then me and Cassia on the very finish.

I bow, and comply with after the Duke. I did that since I used to be instructed earlier than hand to bow my head when coming into the throne room, so I most likely didn’t offend anybody fairly but. The Duke doesn’t bow to the Earl, however I didn’t count on him to do it anyway. Cassia follows from behind me and contours up subsequent to the Duke. I may odor her fragrance when she handed by my facet.

Anyway, the present setup is kind of a reduction for me, since being hidden behind Cassia and the Duke is a lot better than standing in entrance of the Earl with these two behind me.

「Your excellency, I’m glad you got here. It’s been a very long time, Cassia.」

「Sure. I’m glad to see you in good well being above all else as properly, uncle.」

Cassia replies to the Earl of Selmar. Earlier, Cassia mentioned that this place was her dwelling, but it surely was apparently her uncle’s. I simply hope that we are able to proceed the dialog with out touching any sentimental matters.

「And who would possibly that particular person be?」
