197 181. To The King'S Realm
"... it's time to get in the mood, guys"
……
No, they're all pointing that way. I left Runwalker territory before noon while the Sieges dropped me off, but at this rate all the time.
"You're an idiot. Ray is. One kiss at a time like this, but it's the guy who apologizes, right?
Fergus, my brother-in-law, sitting next to me, does that. Say that because it's irrelevant. I can tell immediately that you're curious.
In the carriage now, me and Alexia, Ferris, Caro, Helen, Aeris, Priscia, Krona, Huck, Mae, Roy, Krondine sleeping on Mae's lap on Ekla sleeping on my lap, and Fergus brother-in-law on Carome's sister-in-law.
Fergus, my brother-in-law brought us all the way from Warvest to carry us. It's a royal carriage. Pretty wide.
Douglis and the others are in another carriage. There are Douglis, Lehne, Alma, Elea, Kate, Emma, Burdon, Sizuk, Mr. Rose and Mr. Rabbi on that one. Warvest soldiers are protecting us to surround these two carriages. Well, we'll fight too if we have to.
More than that, the problem now is that everyone ignores me. There is a very awkward atmosphere due to the incident that the Hikarins slept naked in my futon in the morning. I should have solved the misunderstanding.
Mae and the others are soothed by such an atmosphere. I envy Ekla and Klondine sleeping so swallowed up. If that's what you think, there's a knock on the door from the outside.
"What's up?
"He's apparently a bandit. He's attacking the village. What do we do?"
"How many?
"I thought maybe 30 in all."
"Then capture as much as you can."
"Ha!"
When Brother Fergus stepbrother says so, the Warvest soldiers run their horses towards the village being attacked. But a bandit?
"Do bandits appear often?
"Lately. Those are the ones who were originally regalia soldiers, or the ones whose lives were tough and fell into banditry some village inhabitants. Looks like Legalia was putting quite a bit of tax on this war, so the guys who got tough became bandits.
You know the Regalia soldiers. You will only be executed when you return to the Empire. I don't trust any other country. That's why you're a bandit. "
Besides, there is the rebellion of the former Legalian aristocrats. This is going to take a lot of work inside. That said, General Merliah is keeping me under control.
He said we were talking like that.
"Wow! He's a demon soldier!
I could hear those screams. When I opened the window and looked outside, a man whose body had changed to purple was rampaging. Is that the Devil's Sword in your hand?
"Why do you have that?
"There's the one that was used in the war out there. I'm crusading as soon as I find him."
Indeed, the Warvest soldiers are attacking at a distance from the demon soldiers, looking familiar. The half-breed attack is about to end with a single blow because it will heal.
"Is this what every city and village looks like?
You still care as a deputy. Alexia is asking my brother-in-law Fergus.
"No. It doesn't happen that often. But in the case of aristocracy, the empire may be holding back behind it. There's no proof of that, so we can't fight back."
That's another hassle. The Legalian Empire might intervene again because of that, so we need to put it away soon.
The bandits seem to have been safely suppressed, and the warvest soldiers are capturing them with rope. However, as for the man who used the Devil's Sword, he was killing and stopping it. There's nothing I can do about it.
From then on, it takes about two days to travel inside the king's realm. It's about the size of a half of the kingdom of Nanol. Medium wide.
I was moving on staying in various villages and towns, but no village or town is vibrant because of the war. Well, when it comes to having no choice, I have no choice. From the former Legalian people, we are invaders. I guess it's not so easy to break it off.
Then I managed to get everyone to forgive me during this journey. They told me a lot about kissing you and holding you tight, but I told everyone if they would forgive me for that. How many times did you want to beat up your brother-in-law Fergus, who sees it as a nigga on the side?
And continue inside the king's realm for the fifth day. There is a sound of doors being knocked from outside the carriage. When I opened the window, I was running my horse like a warvest soldier lined up.
"What's up?
"We'll be in the city soon"
"Right. Then keep moving."
"Ha."
Then they lead us all the way to the city. The city is about the size of a little smaller than the king's capital. The population is about 40,000.
"I knew you weren't lively"
Helen seems to have thought the same thing. It's not as vibrant as any other village or town. The boulevard, which quite a few people would have walked before, is also idle and has a lonely atmosphere.
"Is it because you've been occupied, after all?
"There is, but the lord here put the people away and fled with us. The people are not being heard anything, and if they realize it, it is occupied by another country. If you are occupied without knowing what it will do, you will have no choice but to be anxious."
Enough to be done. Did that happen? Certainly would be anxious. Because we don't know how we're going to be treated. Sometimes I feel gaze because the residents see it from home.
We marched through the city, bewildered by the unspeakable atmosphere of the inhabitants.
