114 Episode 114: Former Demon King, Just Bake Care For A Little " (1/2)
The next day, a line of Eighth Princess Iris-Leastia arrived in the village of destination.
Going further northwest from here, it runs as far as the border to the Gaiul Empire.
In addition, they have several towns and fortifications between them and the border.
”We say goodbye to you here.”
He was accompanied by a regiment of soldiers, Mr. Roszo said.
Me and Iris are supposed to go around the village near the border, and Mr. Roszo is supposed to go around the fort.
It seems that the battle-worthy man leads the fort, and the princess shares a peaceful town.
”I don't think it's a problem to share the opposite.”
Mr. Roszo looked at me as he advanced his horse next to me.
”Whether your Highness's line goes to the fort or the demons come out, there would be no danger at all if you were with him”
”It's too worn”
”You killed Minotaur instantly.”
”It doesn't matter. You can't let me take Her Royal Highness to a dangerous place.”
It has been my policy since my last life not to let my child do anything dangerous.
If I could, I didn't want Iris to go on a territorial tour.
I even thought about letting Iris use a pseudo sickness and going on a territorial tour just for me, which he refused to do.
”I will do my job as a proper princess until I am the daughter-in-law of My Lord”
And Iris said.
You've done a fine job. Alice.
I was a teacher in my last life. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy.
And then if you can fix it with your instincts and your thoughts, I have nothing to say.
”Mr. Yuki... May I have a word?”
When I realized, in the carriage that stopped at the entrance to the village, Iris was inviting me.
At the beginning of the queue, soldiers are talking to the villagers.
There's still going to be time until the inn is decided.
I left my horse with a soldier and went into the carriage.
”What is it, Your Highness?”
”The escort reported it. A soldier from a fort nearby is coming to this village.”
”A fort soldier?
”Yes, they've been waiting for me and Roso-Barnes.”
Iris said that with a serious face.
”But as a princess, I have to talk to the village chief. Excuse me, my lord. On my behalf, would you mind listening to me?
”Oh, I don't mind.”
Iris' role is to travel with soldiers around a territory close to the border with the Empire.
By showing the princess, we are to let the people know that 'the royal family will always protect the people'.
It's my job or that of a soldier to listen to the villagers.
”As far as I'm concerned, it sounds like you're using My Road, which is very unsettling...”
”Don't worry about it. Format matters to the royal family, doesn't it? Or because royalty is like working with format and authority.”
”... Phew”
Iris held her mouth and laughed.
”Really, talking to Mylord makes it seem like it doesn't matter that you're being captured inside the royal family...”
”That's because I lived 200 years ago. In the meantime, I've heard stories of the destruction of a small country and the replacement of the top of a large country”
Me, and if it works, Iris and Martha will live a long time ahead.
Perhaps where the reastian kingdom and gaiur empire are now gone, we shall also see.
... I wish the kingdom would stay while we live.
When the country runs out, things get rough. Successor fights, power fights?
”Then I'll go. I'll talk to Mr. Rosso.”
”Thank you very much. My Road.”
That's how I got into the village before Iris.
”Actually, around the fort, suspicious demons began to appear.”
A soldier in armor said.
As a place for discussion, the village chief offered me his own house.
Now that's where me and Mr. Roszo, the soldiers from the fort are gathered.
The soldiers at the fort look nervous.
He was originally about to head to Wang Du for rescue.
Along the way, he noticed Iris and Mr. Roszo's troops and decided to talk to them directly.
”We're on a crusade too... because of our powerful demons, because of our lack of strength...”
”So... what's up?
Mr. Roszo asks.
The soldiers at the fort had a mouthful, but after a while, they opened their mouths.
”While we're stumbling, the Mysterious Knights will crusade the demons.”
”You think it's the Mysterious Knights?
”Yes. A dozen people. All of them, they're on horses. My whole body is covered in armor. You can't see your face because you're wearing a helmet. Speak up, but disappear like the wind.”
”One thing's for sure. Is it on this side of the border that demons appear? Or the other side?
”Both, right? Though it often comes out on the kingdom side.”
”That's odd indeed. Powerful demons and mysterious knights, or”
”So, to ask for an investigation, I was planning to head to the King's Capital. On the way, I stopped by this village and learned that a line between His Highness Iris and Mr. Roszo-Burns was approaching. So I thought we should talk in person.”
At the end of the report, the fort soldiers sighed like relieved.
”What do you think? Yuki-Grossalia which”
Mr. Roszo saw me.
”Could it have been a giant class demon that showed up in the border zone?
I asked.
”How did you know!?
Surprised.
Seemed right.
Not long ago, we fought a big 'minotaur'.
Prior to that, he also fought 'Armed Auga'.
Speaking of which, you also had 'Giant Auga' on the third tier of the dungeon.
