Chapter 230: Taking Over
The carcass of a defeated mature demonic beast will naturally disappear if left alone.
Since they disappear more quickly in the sun, cutting the carcasses into large blocks and exposing them to the sun is the main task of the defeat team after the destruction of the demonic beasts. Is nothing better than to get rid of them quickly.
According to one theory, the natural purification of unclean soil is also a function of sunlight. When I think about it, it is somewhat understandable that the Zesu cult regards the Great Spirit of the Sun as the supreme being.
A voice called out in my ear, and I opened my closed eyelids.
How would you like it?
As if in response to the maid's voice, one of the guards stood in front of me holding a large mirror.There I saw the image of Quardenze Wilk, dressed in his aristocratic attire of him.
Oh, good.”
A little after lunch at the camp curtain, the maid with me that I had left at the castle arrived.Her purpose her was to take care of me.
It is easy to imagine that my outfit would be shredded in battle She stopped by the Quardenze mansion on her way to be dispatched and brought me a set of clothes.
That, at almost the same time, someone from Millendorva arrived and retrieved Orcian.
Did we have a mirror like this in our house?”
I did not recognize the mirror, which had been prepared for use as a mirror.
On the continent of Eluo, mirrors are made by smashing a mysterious mineral.It is a mysterious stone with a beautiful mirror surface on its cross section and is called mirror rock.A large mirror is valuable in its own right because it takes a large rough Stone to make a mirror with no joints.
The mirror in front of me is about the size of a laptop computer, and this level of size is not that unusual in the aristocratic circles. Due to the fact that it is a natural object. The frame, decorated with goldsmith's work, is also superb, not inferior to the high quality of the material.
It is unquestionably a first-class piece. If such a thing had been in the Quardenze residence, I would have noticed it.
It was lent to me by the Levios family.”
When the maid came into the camp curtain, I remembered that there was a Levios civil official among the personnel carrying the luggage. Apparently they left it there for them to use.
Don't…… Leave them unattended.”
The maid replied shortly with her eyes, indicating that she knew what she was talking about.
Ha.”
Maybe they just left it with good intentions.
However, I have been sensing a “Probe” From the Levios side since a few minutes ago. I like to eat, not something cheap like that, but something with a high monetary value.
I am tempted to speculate that they are trying to attract my attention by showing me the actual expensive mirror.
It was the same with regard to changing clothes. Before the maid arrived, I was told by the civil servant Levios that he would prepare a temporary outfit for me, and he asked me many questions about my favorite fabrics and decorations.
He may be looking for clues to see if he can somehow resolve this one issue with money or goods.
I want to return the mirror according to the correct procedure.It would be troublesome to have a dispute over whether or not to accept the mirror.I am glad to see that the maid seems to understand this.
So, where is the castle?
The master is alive and well.
The maid's words are few, as if she is wary of eavesdropping.
The fact that my father is doing well means that things are not going badly for Quardenze, and that the conversation is progressing as we had expected. My father seems to have taken control of the mess after I left. I can rely on him.
I'm glad he's okay.”
The King's Landing social gathering will probably be suspended without warning.
The royal nobles are going to return to their own lands.
But there have been several casualties from other houses.”
She does not say the name of the house. I guessed that a nobleman of unimportant standing in the Quardenze family had died. In the visit, I should keep in mind that there is at least one dead person in the family. Want to be fried.
I see. That's sad.
Social interruptions are a definite possibility. No matter how this goes, we need to start over. We must finish what we need to do in King's Landing as soon as possible.
But as far as I could quickly think of, there wasn't much to do.I had no more need to look for Eve's friends her.
I had just heard that Orcian had activated his detection magic at the time of his arrival in King's Landing. The target of the search is an elf, and the purpose of the search is revenge, of course. And at that time, there were zero search results. It was the next day that Quordenze entered the capital.
When the Olcian came to knock on the door of the Quordenze mansion, he was very surprised to find Eve, but it seems that it had something to do with the presence of the elf who was not supposed to be in King's Landing.
Whatever the case, if he had used that stupid magic to detect her, there was no way he could have missed her.It saved me the trouble of searching her.
The only other thing I had to do was to buy a souvenir for Fanny. I would have to consult with my father, but if I didn't have time, I would ask him to introduce me to the Levios family.
May I?
At that moment, I heard a faint voice from outside the curtain. The maid moved quickly, exchanged a few words with him through the cloth, and returned.
The captain of the strike force says hello.
Let him pass.
I sat down on one of the battlefield chairs set up in the center of the camp curtain, and the maid signaled to the outside.
The first thing that came in shortly after that was an old woman of the main ancestry carrying a civilian officer. She had probably already changed her clothes, and her brand-new armor showed no signs of damage. That she was exhausted.
I am Levios Feine, the leader of the strike team,” She said.
My name is Quardenze Wilk.
This old woman was the granddaughter of the first King Levios and had long been a powerful person who held important positions in King's Landing. But in public, I am in a better position than she is. In order not to let her take the lead in the defeat, I need to be impartial.
However, I felt awkward about taking a high-handed attitude toward such an old, exhausted woman.
I am deeply grateful for your great help in defeating the demonic beast. As the guardian of the land of Levios, I cannot bear my shame.
I have only fulfilled my duty as a nobleman. Your bravery in protecting the peace of the kingdom is nothing to be ashamed of.
The expression “The land of Levios” Was too subtle, so I will replace it with “The peace and tranquility of the kingdom.
I would like to vaguely blur whether they came to defeat a natural mature demonic beast or a mature demonic beast controlled by a priest. I felt that the former element would be strengthened if it was called the land of Levios.
Well, it is not a matter of picking up a single word of conversation around here now. Her words were like a jab to get my estimation. But since she pointed her fist at me, I had to hit her back firmly. For her. She is so full of enthusiasm, isn't she?
I feel lightened by your words her.If I do not fulfill the mission that I carry in my body, I cannot be called an aristocrat.
It is the role of a guardian that one who possesses power possesses.
We honor ourselves by fulfilling our duties, which are defined by blood and position. If you have been sincere in your duties, then I will be pleased.
I can't decide which reason she was motivated by: the blood of the main ancestor who is the guardian of the kingdom, or her position as a nobleman of the kingdom.I don't intend to match the old lady's reasons for her actions her.
…… Is a noble idea.”
It seems my rebuttal was conveyed correctly.
The old woman relaxed her expression, politely finished the rest of the greeting, and sat down on a chair.
I'd like to talk to you about the second hexenbiest.
The first thing that began was the handover regarding the defeat of the second demonic beast.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be prepared to pay for it. And, as I had expected to some extent, the more we talked, the more we got sidetracked and the more we chatted.
It was clear that the old woman was trying to find out what Quardenze Wilk wanted.I want to tell her that the thing I want most right now is our sister her whom the head of your place is trying to rob.
I have heard of your valor at her …… Reischliefe, and I think you have done a great job.I'm sure Alina must have been relieved to see you from the castle.
Princess Alina?
Yes, she was upset that Lugain was injured.I hope that at times like this, she will be able to keep her mind clear.She is going to be very important to Levios from now on.
The old woman did not speak about the extent of King Levios' injuries. Perhaps she wanted to talk about Alina.
She had been taught manners …… Since she was a little girl.
I wasn't really interested, but the old woman continued to talk about Alina's episodes of her.She also casually listed her appealing points to her.
I would like to show my indifference to the extent that it would not be rude, since it would be quite inconvenient for me if they proceeded in that direction.
While I was thinking about this, the old woman's story was going on.
She was looking forward to this social gathering because of the fact that it was ……. Has Mister Wilk ever met Alina?”
'I had the pleasure of taking a hand in a few songs at last night's soiree.
Well, well, that was lovely.”
Her smile her deepened, then turned grim.
'I am sure you are a man of integrity, Lord Wilk,……
According to the old woman, Alina is quite popular.
She is a child of Levios's righteousness, so there are many lords who approach her with ease.
…… I see.”
Some aristocrats are the type of people who are aroused by bloodlines.
The most popular choice for young female aristocrats participating in the royal society would be Levios Alina or Spiaseik Romilie, who would compete for the first and second place.
The Levios family has a long history and is a great noble family that overthrew the priestly rule and became a royal family. Alina is the legitimate princess of the Levios family, so naturally she is of high rank. Family that once existed as a powerful noble family, although it is small to medium scale nowadays. Those with a serious fetish for bloodlines might get a hard-on just by looking at the family tree. For masturbation in the Bloodline Fetish Society.
I'm sure some of the princesses at the nightclub will feel the same way about Alina.”
One thing became clear to me with those words.
This old woman wanted to know why I had invited Romilie to the dance, so I told her about Alina's popularity story her.To see if I would react in a special way because of my bloodline her.
Apparently, I was suspected of having a bloodline fetish by the Levios family. Well, if I am moeing for Spierzeig's blood, the Levios family will have to think about their future policy.
That's a problem.
Unfortunately, I have no such sexual preference.
The attraction to a woman is in her own radiance Her.The other elements, well, they are just extras to enhance the play.Options are important, but they are not the main attraction.
The chat with the old lady continued for a while after that.
She is the vice-president of Seichikan, the royal academy, and her talk was very interesting. How to solve them, all of which were very interesting. I was a little bothered by Alina's occasional interjections of pushing and conversations trying to find out my interests and tastes.
……The sun was going down before I knew it.”
Then I realized that quite a while had passed. The old woman told me to look to the left and right, and I saw that the surroundings were completely tinted with the setting sun.
We had already completed the formal handover, so we said our goodbyes to each other. We made some small talk, but that was to show that we were both aristocrats. Normally, we have a lot to do for each other. Just linger on each other's business forever.
Is this a good way to take over?
I made a final confirmation just to be sure.
The old lady nodded slowly and then made herself smaller.
She nodded slowly and then made herself smaller. “Normally, someone in the appropriate position should have come here…….
She briefly apologizes for the fact that no one from the current generation is coming to the scene. But even so, King Levios has fallen wounded. According to the old lady, Dunkel is still engaged with the first demonic beast, and Alina remains in the royal castle as a weight against the kingdom's nobility.
Just as I was about to reply that I didn't care, a voice called out from outside the curtain.
Oh, what is it?
The old woman's voice was quite natural, but I knew at that moment that it was scripted.
I was sure that this was Alina's arrival Her.I had heard so much about her charms Her up until a few minutes ago, it would be strange if someone different appeared at this point.I'll bet you 100 Kiris gold coins that she's here.
The maid who came with me moved easily and checked outside. Then, as I should have expected, she turns the conversation over to civil official Levios, not to me.
The civilian calmly walked out of the curtain and came back in less than 30 seconds to give an earful to the old lady.
He came back not more than 30 seconds later and spoke in the old lady's ear, “…… Mister Wilk. I wonder if I could have a few more minutes of your time.
The Levios family had come all the way to thank her for her help her in this matter.What a surprise!I wondered which Alina had come.
I don't mind.
It was not an offer I could refuse, and it would only take a few moments to thank her.
The main reason for this is that the main ancestors are surrounded by the military officers of the Quardenze faction, so there is no problem if the ratio of the main ancestors is one to two.
'Well, then, I'll be a little behind…… You.'
As if at once, the old woman quickly stood up and moved to a corner of the curtain. As if in response, a large piece of cloth at the entrance was turned up.
Excuse me.
With a calm voice, a woman enters.Her graceful steps she was full of the elegance of a princess.
Her hair, which is silver …… Or more aptly called silver-white, is free of habits, and the tips of the hair brush her slender shoulders as if flowing smoothly. The vermilion of the setting sun, have a tinge of melancholy.
……Who is this beauty?
My name is Ena, daughter of Levios Lugain.
