Chapter 101 (1/2)

101 Ruin (Mitsuha) 「Her Highness Princess! This is bad!」

(Remia) 「E-Ehhh? Viscount Yamano?」

All of the people present including Her Highness Princess were astonished because we had suddenly appeared in the conference room of the royal palace.

No, of course, I didn't use transfer to suddenly appear in the conference room.

I got a proper permission from the Earl first, then transferred a bit with Big Lorry and put it at home. From then, I transferred near the royal capital together with Sabine-chan and Colette-chan, and walked from there.

When I said 『The delegation had been attacked, we need to report to Her Highness Princess quickly!』 to the gatekeepers who had remembered our face, he then quickly guided us.

(Mitsuha) 「The delegation was attacked by bandits and is now in catastrophe! Please dispatch medical units right away!」

No, I'm not telling a lie. We were attacked by bandits and destroyed.

……the bandits, that is.

The conference room was already in a fuss.

Well that's as expected.

Even though it's the work of bandits, it is still a big problem if the delegations of another kingdom were attacked around their kingdom. To put it simply, this is an international problem.

Moreover, if a delegation that made a favorable promise to one's own kingdom was destroyed without reporting it to their home kingdom, the national interest would be greatly diminished. …no, there is even a possibility of a war breaks out if it's handled poorly.

(Remia) 「The 1st Imperial Guard company! Prepare for an emergency dispatch! I will go as well!」

There was no one who can object to the immediate dispatch of Her Highness Princess who is now acting as the king.

They have long been in a friendly relationship with us, so the odds of becoming a war are low. However, it's never zero. And even if it does not reach to that point yet, they won't know what would happen after, such as the deterioration of the relationship or backing out from the treaty. Hence, it is necessary for them to show their utmost sincerity here, and it is certain that it will be greatly useful for Her Highness Princess to rush over personally.

(Remia) 「Where is the place!?」

(Mitsuha) 「Ah, it's a two-day travel from here.」

(Remia) 「Eh…………?」

Her Highness Princess stopped moving due to my reply. Ah, the others too.

Ah yeah, we left this place two days ago… If we were attacked at a location two days from here, then the a.s.sault would have just been not too long ago.
