31 A Country Called Ishtarika
"Erm. Feet, isn't it hard?
Care for Krone to hide some embarrassment.
I hit and changed from the one I worked hard on earlier, and it was an unintended word, but I couldn't help it.
"... ha. No, it's nothing. It's okay, 'cause I didn't make it that long."
"Oh, well. Yeah, I'm glad."
Still, I'm still a little confused as Ein because I wasn't able to hide the total embarrassment.
When I thought so, I felt like something was being seen from around me.
"Is that it? Are we being watched?
"That's obvious because you're doing this here, right?
"It sure is."
Harbor pier. It was also a place where large ships docked, so only humans, mainly those working with knights and ships, would pass by.
It was also natural to stand out if you had knee pillows in such a place. Although Ain't been largely inconspicuous when he was napping alone, now it's another story.
"I feel relieved to have arrived safely"
"Yeah, thanks. I'm relieved you're well."
"You left late yesterday?
"Yes, I do. You're really fast. I was surprised to hear you were on a faster Ishtarika ship."
"I thought the same thing. Still all new things."
What they were talking about was a short overnight time. But the more I felt that it had nothing to do with that, the more they could have been in nature. There was just a little tension in my mind.
"... I'm surprised to hear you're royal."
"I'm surprised I was suddenly taught, too."
"I heard you went to another continent, and I thought you couldn't talk anymore"
"But now we can talk."
There was as much I wanted to talk to you about. But when it comes to a situation where you can talk, words suddenly don't come out.
"Hey, did you get that arm jewel, with a present or something?
"He said something to protect the royal family. Mr. Warren gave it to me."
"... yes, that's fine."
Clone with her hair pulled apart, saying it was nothing good. Seeing the glowing star crystal with its arms, Ain seeps in joy.
"Thanks for the knee pillow. Looks like I got a good night's sleep thanks to you."
"Hehe, that's above all"
Although there was some remnants of fame, the current situation has attracted some attention from the surrounding area. I couldn't have stayed awake, so I thanked Krone and woke up.
She was napping in a tight spot, and her body seems to be just a little tight.
"Hey, what do you think of royalty napping here?
You might think I'm a little nervous going ahead.
"Right. Well, from now on, I'm gonna refrain, is that it? Speaking of which, Krone alone?
Ein, who was thankful for giving himself a knee pillow, wondered that Krone was alone.
You crossed the ocean by yourself? Though I felt that Krone might do it, it's unrealistic.
"Grandpa and Alfred, uh... some escorts and some supplies are coming with us. There you go."
And Krone sees Warren and the others better. Ain imitated it and looked in the same direction, and there was a good old man there beside Warren and Chris.
"Is that the Grand Duke of Augusto? You're the only one in Heim who's got a penetrating heart."
"It's the former Grand Duke. Because I've already given up the Lord to your father."
"Ah...... I'm coming to Ishtarika, do you need that too"
"I was told that I was the only one who could look at the ocean because the necessary procedures were almost over. So when I came to the pier, you were taking a nap."
"I see. That was Mr. Warren's offer."
Ein was also convinced. Conveniently it seemed strange that Krone had come by his side.
"Right. But thanks to you, I'm sure Warren was sure of another one."
"What do you mean?
"Wouldn't I really hurt you? But you knew it wasn't because of me, so thank you."
"Ah I see..."
As it turned out, Warren was right and had no problems.
As Chris, I couldn't deny my desire to be a little more cautious though.
"How is Olivia?"
"Like every day, ma'am. I'm having tea and fun with the queen, and I'm sure Krone will be called next time, so join me for tea."
"I tea with Her Royal Highness and Olivia...?
"Ah. Looks like we're done over there"
Krone, who was told that she might be called to a tea table with Queen Laralua, was suddenly confused when she said such a thing, but without such confusion, Ain sees the Chris who came towards her.
"Ha, mind you a little bit more.... Ein? I've been sleeping here, and my clothes are getting dirty."
That's what Krone says, pounding Ain's back and dropping the trash. Ain't got me embarrassed again, but I won't forget to thank you.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks. No, thanks for everything. Me."
"Fine. That's about it. Yes, it's beautiful."
Krone, speaking of, had removed the dust already on him beautifully.
"Dear Ein. How was your break?
"I was able to confirm again that Mr. Warren was a good worker."
"That's more than anything."
Warren visited Ein and the others. Behind it was Graf on Chris, and Alfred holding back.
In the meantime, Ein decided to compliment Warren on his work.
"Dear Ein. It's just for today. I can't believe I'm taking a nap in a place like this."
Go on. Chris mouths the novel. Even as Chris, who missed taking a nap, I kept my precautions just in case.
"I lost cheerfully. I know, I appreciate you missing out today."
While in such conversation, Krone leaves Ain's former and goes next to his grandfather Graf.
When Warren and the others arrived, they thought that standing next to Ein would not be considered disrespectful.
Although I felt stronger now that I was being seen with a knee pillow.
"Dear Ein. I'd like to introduce you. This is Graf Augusto, Miss Krone's grandfather and former Grand Duke of Augusto."
"I'll see you first. I'm Graf Augusto. Until the other day, I was the head of the Augusto family.
I am delighted that Ein, the royal family of Ishtarika, has been given the opportunity to worship you. "
Greetings to Ain from Graf.
Honestly it is a glaf-like eye and when treated like this by people who have dived through a number of training grounds, it is not very comfortable as Ain.
"It's been a long time, Dear Ein. I am more than happy to see you again today, Master Ain. I can't thank you enough for accepting Krone's insignificant offer."
He went on to greet Krone in awe. In front of a heavy town that I said was royal named Ain or the Warrens, I thought I needed to correct my residence.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Graff. I am delighted to be able to talk to the former Lord of the prestigious Augusto family in this way. Thank you for your long journey. I know you're still busy today, but I hope you enjoy Ishtarika slowly afterwards."
As Ein, who is already a member of the royal family, it is not a good idea to treat him as if he were a Graf opponent.
For this reason, I decided to call it "lord", and I said thank you for your hard work instead of tiredness. The words after that clouded the tea with lines that didn't hold corners.
"And then... Krone. I think it's too late now."
"Kuck, kuck..."
Although Ein was convinced given that she had behaved politely and why.
Still, I feel so much stronger now that I put in a scratch. Looking at that ein, Warren seems desperate to endure a laugh, too.
"A, Dear Ein. That's just what Krone said..."
"Huh. 'Cause I already had my knee pillow on earlier, and there's a little loneliness when I'm polite like this?"
Chris also follows up when he sees Ain, who has attributed Krone's care and effort to nothing.
"That's Dear Ain, I'm totally delighted. Now, Dear Ain, since your visit today is over, you can escort Lord Chris to see the market as planned. I have a few more things to do and meetings, so I'm going to continue with Lord Graff."
"Okay. Well then..."
I was told that what needs to be done today is done, and as for Ain, I was going to move on to seeing a souvenir to Olivia.
It seems that Warren still has a meeting with the Graphs, and he can't take his seat off.
What will Krone do? I thought Ein glanced back at Warren after seeing Krone flicker.
"Could Miss Krone accompany Mr. Ein, if I may? I think Ein will enjoy it even more."
"I'm in awe. Dear Ain, can you forgive me for accompanying you?
"Uh, yeah... this is me, please"
Although I am not particularly upset by the words of Ain earlier. Poked into thin air by Ain't got no nervousness at all, Krone asked Ain in the way he spoke as he did.
"Lord Warren. I wonder if my butler Alfred will accompany me. I'm worried that Krone might cause some trouble, and most importantly, I can help Ein see the market."
And Alfred, who was behind him, turns to Ain and bows his head.
The work was brilliant, even Ain, accustomed to the servants of Ishtarika, feeling sophisticated.
"Hmm. Looks like you're right, Lord Alfred. Can I ask you a favor?
"Of course it is. I'll see you first, Dear Ein. My name is Alfred, and I've served the Augusto family since Graf was little. I am truly honored to be with you."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Alfred. I'll take care of you."
Alfred joins in, making it four.
Ein decided to go and see the market in the port town of Magna with those four.
"I just want to thank you for caring for Krone."
"From my point of view, it's for Ein either way. I've seen Ein so happy."
Warren and Graff continued their conversation after Ain headed to the market with the Krone and the others.
"A few steps more attractive than I was asking. I thought so."
"That's above all. It's the treasure of Ishtarika."
Graf and Ain meet for the first time.
Though it was the first time we met, from Graf's point of view, I could well understand why Krone liked Ein.
"Now, Lord Graff. You know, a few questions."
"Oh yeah. Then one first. I have to take an inn in this port town, so I was wondering if you could introduce me."
"... hmm? Is it an inn? Don't worry, we don't need that."
Graf thought he had to prepare a place to live, but first he thought he'd stay in the inn for a while.
I had to move to Wang Capital to find a home, but the first day I planned to stay here in Port Town.
"What the hell do you mean you don't need it? I was wondering if you could lend me some facilities here?
"No. Exactly. There are no lodgings for nobility here… but there are only rooms for royalty. Don't worry, we've already prepared it in Wangdu."
"Oh, my God. I appreciate that, and to what extent is the cost of that inn? I'd like to pay for the jewels after I redeem them."
"You will all stay in the castle rooms. So you don't have to pay anything in particular."
As Warren, I never planned to be able to stay in the castle with the intention of surveillance.
Olivia, the second princess, wanted this because she wanted to talk to Krone slowly.
"... I didn't know you'd get the honor to step into the royal castle of Ishtarika"
"It's what the princess wanted. I would like to talk to Miss Krone slowly, so I would like Miss Krone to deal with the princess."
"Krone will be delighted too. I admire Her Highness the Second Princess."
"That's a good thing. As a princess, I hope you intend to join me for dinner today."
"... hmm? Is that even Nong?
I could still understand if it was just Krone. Even at the Augusto residence, Krone and Olivia had a conversation, because Krone's longing woman was Olivia.
"Yes, Lord Graff is with you."
I'm slightly surprised that she even told me so. Nevertheless, it does not make a difference that Graf is thankful to have had the opportunity to convey his thanks.
"That's... then let's just say thank you in person on the spot"
Afterwards, Ain a row enjoyed the market and bought a lot of seafood.
In anticipation of the meeting, Ain and Warren and the others, who went out to the market, rendezvoused and took the water train to Wangdu.
While Ain and Krone were separate vehicles on the return water train, they both fell asleep right aboard the water train. Ein was on inspection, tour of the market, and Krone was on a long journey and tour of the market because they both used their strength.
I woke up near Wang Du. Krone regrets it. That he soon fell asleep, even though he thought about enjoying his journey to the King's Capital by water train.
But the sight from near Wang Capital was also quite an exciting sight for her.
In the scenery, which is getting darker and darker after the evening, Wang Du looks beautiful with numerous lights.
Seeing the size of the King's capital makes me feel good. I thought there was such a huge capital.
Kingsland, the king's capital, grows even bigger as we approach. It was Krone who lived in the King's capital of Heim, but I can't hide my surprise that even the same King's capital is so different.
"Grandpa."
"Hmm? Are you awake, Krone? Sounds like the market was fun."
"Yep. I've never had more fun."
Although Ain didn't seem to care, Krone remained polite because Chris was by his side.
But the town walk with Ain that I wanted to see again was still extraordinary.
"You'll see, Krone. Kingsland, the king's capital, is the largest city in Ishtalica."
"Yeah, it looks good. You had such a beautiful, big capital."
"It's a symbol of a country called Ishtarika. It was a series of surprises in the daytime harbour town, but if it were to be the king's capital, it would shock us beyond that."
"Grandpa. One thing, can I say what I think?"
"Let me hear it."
"Round heart, you've done something extraordinary."
Krone mouthed this with a little sweat on her forehead.
I had felt it even when I saw the ships and harbours I boarded, but seeing the absolute presence of the king capital of Ishtarika, the feeling became firm.
"When Grandpa spoke of Olivia and the others, I knew exactly why he was sweating frighteningly. This country must not be hostile, no matter what."
"... oh, I guess so"
"I have heard the words of the First Majesty of Istarica. You should be thankful to Ishtalika, who still keeps that word."
"Now I can speak, but the punishment of the Haim royal family is sweet enough. I'll send the heads of the Round Heart family, if they were meant to be, they'd have to do about this. The royal family is sweet to Ishtarika's decision."
"It cannot be denied that Roundheart was a heavy town for Heim's army, and that is why it was a sweet treatment"
"Nevertheless. Non is relieved now, that he has accepted us. Whatever it takes, it turns out we can protect Krone."
I can protect my own family if I keep this up. I thought so. Graf was a little relieved.
I don't know what's coming, but I could still clear the conversation with Warren, which was the first issue. That gives Graf a great deal of relief.
"And that's an amazing ride. I can't believe it's so fast but don't shake it, I can sit in such a good chair"
The vehicles on which the Krone and the others are riding, like the Eins, are for nobility.
There are no other passengers, as vehicles for nobility are in the form of private rooms.
"Not at all. I'm just surprised that so many vehicles are running as civilian objects."
"Eh, Grandpa! Will this train continue into the king's capital? It doesn't slow down at all."
"Oh yes, Krone. Continue along the path dedicated to the water train and head to a stop called the station in Wangdu."
Krone was wondering that the speed would not slow down as it came near the walls.
Makes me think of myself as glad to come to Ishtarika as a graff, to Krone's year-to-year appearance, which I don't normally see.
And the water train that everyone boarded safely entered the Wang capital and proceeded towards the White Rose.
"You don't stop right after entering the Wang Capital. I can't believe I still can't see the end of this run."
"Ishtarika uses this water train, whether it's in the king's capital or not. It's so big."
"Wow. Lots of beautiful buildings..."
"--When it comes to Heim being able to win, it would be about as stupid as adding or subtracting from the country's heavy towns"
Boso and Graf masturbate themselves, but that was also something they had no choice about.
With such self-inflicted talk, the train arrives at White Rose Station.
"This, so many water trains"
"It is said to be one of the most gigantic stations in Ishtarika. That's why there are so many water trains."
"And there are so many people. Are they all using water trains?"
"This is the station, of course. There must be people coming."
For Krone, who is fresh from anything, this crowd is interested in just being a giant station.
It was about a few times a year whether it was the King's Capital of Heim that so many people gathered.
And after the train stops completely, Concon and the door are knocked.
"Is that Lord Warren?
"Excuse me. Here we are, how was your journey to Wang Du?
Warren comes to get Graf and Krone.
"Everything is different from it was decades ago. You were amazed at that."
"I fell asleep until I approached the king's capital. But when I woke up, the nearby Wangdu was a view I'd never seen before, and I still can't help it."
"You're just like Ein. Master Ain also looked like he had been resting for a while. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though."
Heard Ein was asleep, too, and Ein enjoyed it? and Krone imagined.
"Then let's come. I have a carriage for you today, so I'll get you there when I leave the station. Lord Ain and Lord Chris are headed to the castle first, so we'll follow them."
The luggage the Graphs brought is brought in by cargo only vehicles.
It was to be delivered to the castle later.
For this reason, the Graphs arrive to guide Warren with only simple baggage.
Alfred and the others who brought Graf were also to take another carriage to the castle.
"Dear Warren. May I ask you one thing?
"What is it, Miss Krone?"
"Is this station called White Rose always so crowded?
"I'm free today, because there's no school. It's just that one morning at school, you'll be 10 times more prepared than this."
"10x, is it? With so many people already, that's 10 times..."
Krone learned the shock.
If this was still the time I was in Heim, it was about a few events a year. They say that can swell tenfold, and I can't imagine how many people walk.
"Come on. I'll show you to the carriage."
Ishtarika, which has thrived and continues to grow.
The size of its king's capital represented exactly the strength of Ishtarika.
When you get here, the castle is next.
Krone was looking forward to seeing how awesome the castle he was headed to.
