24 Episode 24: Meet Your Former Demon King, Rival (1/2)
The third day after leaving the baron's territory.
The carriage with me and Martha was well on the street.
From Baron Territory to Wang Capital, about four days by carriage.
Tomorrow, you'll see the king's capital.
”I could have used a carriage.”
”That's not how it works. Yuki boy.”
said the soldier in your role.
An old soldier over fifty years old, his name is Bergen. He was a patrol guard for the territory.
”Your Highness will be your escort knight. I can't believe I've been given such a big role in bringing so many people to the King's Capital… there's no such honor.”
”You're not gonna cry. And I want you to stop being a boy.”
”I don't think you care. Yuki boy.”
”Stop, Martha”
”Phew.”
Martha laughed with pleasure as she sat down on the anti-vibration blanket.
”I had no idea Martha was going to King's Capital.”
”Sorry, let me go out with you”
Martha is Yuki's partner.
”To survive in this world.”
”This isn't a people-friendly world, because I knew when Martha's real father died,”
”Don't worry, I won't die.”
”I trust you. Yuki.”
”Thanks. Still...... carriage, isn't it late?
I looked out the carriage window.
From now on, the scenery is barely moving.
”Excuse me, boy, Martha”
”Martha, please don't”
”I don't think you care. Martha.”
”... mmm”
”Is something wrong? Mr. Bergen.”
”No, the previous carriage didn't go very far...”
That's what Bergen, in your seat, bowed his head to me and Martha.
”Dick. Are you there?
”Yes. Oshiju-kun.”
Dick the bat hiding in the luggage turned up.
”I'm sorry, but I need you to take a look at the road. Maybe something happened.”
”I understand -”
Dick moved his black wings and walked out the carriage window.
”That's my Dick the Demon. There are others, Gail and Neil.”
Yuki has a lot of friends.
”I thought you were gonna let it go.”
”It's only natural that Yuki is amazing for Martha.”
”For once, I'd like to surprise Martha.”
”No, Martha stopped being surprised because she was too surprised by Yuki at a young age.”
”I'm sorry.”
”No, it was good training for Martha to become a maid dedicated to Yuki.”
”Martha's amazing.”
”I'll give you that line back just like you did”
While we were talking about that, Dick came back.
'The road is empty, but the previous carriage is moving loosely. It's a big queue with soldiers.'
”The Great Matrix?
'Yes -. Three boxcarriages. It's a lot of escorts -'
”That's a really big queue. You know what carriage it is?
”There was a mark of Wyburn -”
”The mark of Wyburn? Martha, you know what?
”Then... the Marquis, no, the Duke...?
”Wyburn is the family crest of the Duke of Slay. Boy, Martha.”
Mr Bergen said at your table.
”It's a historic aristocratic home. We can't get past that queue.”
”No, it seems to have stopped.”
”... right”
From the window, the carriage at the Duke's house was stopped.
Mr. Bergen pulled away and parked the carriage.
”Martha, do you remember what your father said when he was about to leave?
”Come and do your best, it was”
”After that, I also told him that there were many sons of nobles who would go to Wang Du in the same period.”
”I remember. You told the nobles of other houses about Yuki.”
”Father, I wonder what you've talked about”
”I think Yuki is proud of you.”
Me and Martha looked at each other.
Because I had a bad feeling.
”Boy. From the previous carriage, someone will come down”
”I'll take care of it. Martha, just get your clothes ready.”
”Yes, sir.”
I turned my back on Martha.
Martha takes her jacket out of her luggage and puts it on my shoulder.
While I loosen my belt, I turn my face to the side and offer my ironed trousers. While I'm wearing it, he removes the shavings from the chest of the maid's clothes and fixes my hair. Then tap on the wrinkles (wrinkles) on your jacket, stretch them out, straighten the collar (or collar), and it's done.
”... like a couple you've been with for twenty years, you're breathing.”
”Because I'm your partner.”
”Martha vows allegiance to Yuki.”
Leaving Martha and Mr. Bergen behind, I got off the carriage.
From the carriage of the Duke of Slay's house, three people were getting off.
One is a girl my age. The other two look like escorts.
”I will see you with the Duke Slay family”
I bowed my head according to the nobility format.
”This is the second son of the Baron Glossaria family, Yuki-Glossaria. What can I do for you if you parked the carriage?”
”This is Odette-Sray, the lady of the Duke of Slay's house.”
It was two of the guards who answered.
”Many fears, Mr. Odette said to speak to the bastard of the Baron's house. Impossible luck for a junior aristocrat.”
If it wasn't for the Duke's house escort, I'd be hitting him.
... No, do you feel that way because I'm a beginner in human beings?
Probably awesome luck in general.
Then let's deal with it accordingly.
”I would like to refrain from saying anything because I am afraid”
