Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 29
Once the schedule was organized, the escort group departed without hesitation at dawn the next day..
I asked Ragnis where Gies was, and he said that if he went to the capital right away, he would be caught in the eyes of the nobles and would be in danger, so he decided to stay in Ogwen for a while and stay there..
Well, even though I might not be able to become a witness, I would be able to easily track down a few people connected to the noble faction, so if I was discovered to be affiliated with the royal faction, I might immediately receive an assassin gift set..
Still, it was a shame that we couldn't see each other even once since we flew through the sky together, but eventually there will be a day when we will see each other again..
"So, what are you going to do??"
Ragnis, who was giving me a disapproving look as I was enjoying the luxury of lying on one side of a carriage that was too wide for just the two of us, suddenly asked,.
"Eh?"
However, as I pondered the lingering feelings of separation that had not yet disappeared in an unwavering comfort, I was unable to accept the gist of her question at a late pace..
"Sir Ekaf's suggestion and my suggestion. I decided what to accept?"
"Of course, I have to stay at Lord Ekaf's house. What an obvious question...!"
"Why is that so natural?!"
I was kicked in the side by an unexpected attack, but it was extremely unfair..
No, even if you think about common sense, there is a choice between living in the villa of Ragnis, who is about to make a fierce comeback, and commuting to Lord Ekaf's mansion, or living in his house like a guest and following the systematic diet and training of the family's soldiers. If you ask me to do it, it's definitely the latter.?
I tried to weigh it again with a cool-headed mind, but the latter is still more beneficial..
"The level is different in the first place? It's because you're still young and don't know how much impact your commute time has on your quality of life.."
Having lived in a past life where it took two hours each way to get to work, I am proud to say that I am more aware of its importance than anyone else in the world..
But Ragnis, who had no way of knowing about my experience, just puffed out his cheeks and continued to beat me up..
The journey, which continued with a lot of fun, was definitely smooth. No matter how crazy and mentally ill murderers there were, there were only a very small number of them who wanted to rob or attack a procession of this size..
Even one of the kingdom's 10 swords and a battle mage who could break the head of a barbarian warrior were at the forefront, radiating extraordinary force, so even a true madman of the century would have no choice but to carefully get out of the way..
Because of that, all we had to do was watch the scenery go by, eat, and sleep, so even Ragnis became very energetic and violent..
"Even though you have come to the capital, if the interference continues, I have already come to the conclusion that I will not dare to do anything for a while, so why should I refuse Lord Ekaf's offer and live in your house? Argh! word! Talk a little! Let's make it to the end!"
"You clueless bastard! very! Hawk! Earn! falcon!"
It was a day when I couldn't help but feel sad about the unjust and unreasonable violence, but of course I didn't change my opinion until the end..
◈
The capital we arrived in over six days was a metropolis far beyond my imagination..
To be honest, because of the stories I had picked up, including Ogwen, I lived without much expectation from the civilization of this world. Of course, Ogwen maintained a culture closer to the medieval fantasy found in games rather than the realistic medieval era, but it was difficult to say that it was neat and sophisticated even with empty words..
But the capital was different. It is so sophisticated, clean, and magnificent that you can hear fantasy sounds no matter where you put it. There was a different type of grandeur than a modern city with rows of buildings..
Due to the completely unexpected culture shock, I couldn't help but be amazed by the actions a typical hillbilly would take. However, Ragnis' entry into the capital was not easy enough for me to lean out the window and see the world..
Since they were not supposed to be seen in person until an official announcement was made, as they got closer to the capital, they had to close the windows and draw the curtains so no one could see inside..
"This...isn't what I expected to see in the capital....!"
"You didn't really care."
"Now...no...."
Seriously, I'm going crazy wondering what kind of building it is, what it's for sale, and how much it will cost. It is said that an adventurer's guild exists even in the capital, but I couldn't imagine what kind of work there would be for adventurers in such a gorgeous city. Is there room for them to stay??
While we were thinking about that, we first stopped at Lord Ekaf's mansion. As the carriage stopped at the parade ground attached to a white mansion that gave off the feel of a Greek temple, Ragnis, who was very dissatisfied, spoke..
"get off. Because you have arrived at your destination."
"Why are you sulking again? Anyway, if you fall, you'll be just a stone's throw away."
"It's fun! Do you regret being harassed by Lady Ogatorf?!"
Ragnis pushed me out, closed the carriage door roughly, and left the Ogatorf Mansion..
Suddenly, I was left alone, and before I had time to be dumbfounded, one of the horseback knights who had joined the escort came up to me and started talking to me..
"Follow me. The head of the house explained about you to his family and tenants and asked them to give you a room.."
Seeing that Sir Ekaf was called matriarch, he must have been a knight belonging to the Ogatorf family. He didn't seem to have any intention of introducing himself, so I just nodded and followed him without saying anything..
As we entered the mansion, where everything from the blade of grass to the servants had an atmosphere of living quietly and calmly so as not to tarnish the family's honor, we were greeted by an old gentleman who was truly a butler himself..
"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Landa.."
"It’s just the beginning, Chief Butler. Are you madam and missus??"
"He is currently away attending a tea party hosted by Baroness Aridene.."
"If it's his tea party, it might take a while. Then, could you please prepare a room for this boy??"
The knight named Randa turned and pointed at me, as if he was planning to attack me. When the old gentleman silently asked with his gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and answered,.
"This is a child that the head of the family took note of and brought in. First of all, please treat me as a guest.."
"okay. I'll guide you right away.."
Landa slightly bowed his head and then turned around and walked out of the mansion with great strides. Judging by her appearance, it seems that she was not just wasting time, but that she did not have time to wait for the hostess who went out to play, so she just handed over to her..
"My name is Jan Gridsi, and I am the head butler of the Ogatorp family. What is your name??"
A mustachioed deacon who uses an honorific title even for boys. This person really existed..
"My name is Eldmia Egar.."
There was no need for me to explain in detail, and since I didn't know what I would be doing at the mansion from now on, it was difficult to say I was happy to meet you in advance, so I just introduced myself and kept my mouth shut. Nevertheless, Jan, the butler with a faint smile and a slight bow, spoke to me as he climbed the stairs of the central hall..
"Please come this way. I will show you the room.."
The room I followed with polite guidance was so nice that I wondered if it was really a guest room..
Jan gave me the gift of freedom by closing the door and leaving without saying a word, but I actually didn't have the courage to sit on the bed and sofa that looked so fluffy and sophisticated due to my appearance not being very neat. I had to feel like I was tap dancing on a scaffold. In the end, I couldn't do anything, so I went into the bathtub in the bathroom on one side of the room and squatted down..
"Something... something doesn't seem right.."
Still, it was definitely better than getting those expensive furniture dirty. I seemed to be strangely calm, but in the midst of a storm of gloomy emotions, I was really just blankly thinking about nothing, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep..
How long had he been asleep like that? I opened my eyes without realizing it when I heard rough footsteps coming from far away..
-Kwaang!
"miss! Why are you doing this?...!"
For a moment, I forgot where I was and almost pulled the sword out of the sleeping bag I was holding in my arms. It was only after my half-asleep brain realized belatedly that the loud noise I had just heard was the sound of someone kicking down the door I was in, I was able to judge the situation along with the voice I heard and barely put down my luggage..
"Oh my, girl! Your father told you to treat him as a guest.!"
"I don't have it?"
But I couldn't figure out why he made such a violent appearance. While I was briefly confused by the incomprehensible situation, the sound of footsteps full of presence came closer and the bathroom door opened violently..
-Kwaang!
In front of the open door, a person who clearly had kicked the door down stood proudly and looked down at me..
The girl, who, unlike Asilier, revealed who she was just with her long platinum-blond hair that was darker in gold and purple eyes that resembled her father, spoke..
"I am Cheryl Csin Ogatorp.."
what?
Does he also have similar beliefs to me??
