When Raidorl returned to the guild’s reception after his meeting with Cruz, his companion, who had kept him waiting, raised her eyes in protest.
“You’re late, onii-san.”
“I thought I’d finished early. This princess is quite impatient.”
Waiting in the hall with the reception desk was the Imperial Princess, Célia Von Althlein.
She is dressed in a simple red dress and a grey cloak, with her arms crossed in front of her chest and her holy sword hanging from her waist.
At her feet were three men dressed like adventurers who had fallen into a stupor and were turning white.
“Did I miss something here?”
“I beat them up because he tried to touch me. That’s part of being an adventurer, isn’t it?”
Célia tilted her head adorably.
“Aa..yeah..that’s..yea..”
Raidorl somehow knew what was going on.
She was an innocent, hands-first kind of person, but she was also a blonde girl.
If she was in a guild that prided itself on its strength, it was obvious that she would be approached by some nasty people.
“More importantly, are you done with your business??You brought me all the way out here.”
“Yeah, well, you’re in luck.”
“Hmm.”
Raidorl waved a few sheets of paper in his hand.
Célia looked at her hand with the interest of a cat that has been touched by a catnip and said, “Yes!” She snatched the paper out of Raidorl’s hand.
“Erm,…… is this a guild request form? Is this what you came for?”
“These are not just any requests. It’s a request that came to the guild, but was left unfulfilled for months on end.”
“Salted?”
Célia’s eyes looked at Raidorl with confusion.
“Why do you need it? What do you need it for?”
“You know, Célia, if you submit a request to the guild and it doesn’t get fulfilled by the end of the day, you’ll have to pay for it. What would you do if you submitted a request to the guild and it was never fulfilled?”
“Do you withdraw your …… request?”
Raidorl nodded in response to Célia’s answer.
“Yes, but these requests have not been withdrawn and have been left unanswered for months. Why is that?”
“Well, um, …….”
She twists her head, grunting.
“Erm……too much trouble to take down?”
“Yeah, that might be the case……, but the main reason is that the client is in facing trouble.”
Withdrawing a request from a guild does not make the cause of their request to the guild disappear.
This is the reason why they continue to submit requests in the hope that one day someone will take their request.
“So you’re saying that you’re taking this request to help people??Well, you’re the king’s brother, aren’t you?”
“Well..I’ve been an adventurer more than being the ‘king’s brother’.”
“…………?”
A question mark appeared in Célia’s head as she did not understand the meaning of Raidorl’s words.
She didn’t know that Raidorl had been exiled or that he and his brother Granard were on bad terms.
“Taking down the Killer Falcon, capturing the Red Ice Snake,delivering the Rock Mandragora,and investigating the cause of the dry lake …… are all difficult requests, but with two holy sword wielders, it shouldn’t take long.”
“Ehhh, I’m doing it too? Why?”
“We can’t leave the country until we’ve made peace with the Empire, anyway. I know you’re not busy until then, so help me. If you don’t want to help the enemy’s people, that’s fine.
“It’s not fair to say that. Fine! Let’s go!”’
She puffed out her cheeks and swallowed Raidorl’s suggestion with a prurient anger.
Raidorl patted the head of the princess, who turned her head away.
“Don’t touch me!”
“Well, now that we’ve accomplished our task, let’s go on a tour around the kingdom. Let’s go see the lake together, as promised!”
“Ugh …… how did this happen ……”
Raidorl tugged on Célia’s arm, who looked unhappy and unconvinced, and walked out of the Adventurers’ Guild.
The three adventurers in the guild saw the two left, one is a Zain royal family, the other is the Alsatian royal family, and both of their holy swords, with their bruised face.
