Visit the Imperial Palace
gulp.
Everyone swallowed the food in their mouths and waited for Scarlett’s next words.
“… You must go to the Imperial Palace with me tomorrow.”
“yes?”
Cool!
Perhaps he was taken aback by the word “Imperial Palace”, or Aine seemed to have heard of it.
And not as much as her, but the party members including me were very embarrassed.
“What do you mean, Master?”
When Veronica asks that question, Scarlett Marche begins to explain.
“Didn’t you say earlier that the imperial family also sided with the Epsilts?”
“Yes.”
“But to be precise, it is the prince who takes the side of the Duke of Epsilt, and the emperor is trying to mediate as much as possible.”
“Wow, His Majesty the Emperor… ”
Felice murmurs.
“The Emperor called us and the Duke of Epsilt to the Imperial Palace for negotiations. Tug, it’s annoying, but I think we should go for it.”
Scarlett frowned and spoke as if annoyed.
“Whew… I want to kill them all, but the sect has no way to deal with the imperial sect… ”
She sighed and tapped the table nervously.
Should I be surprised at the fact that she has enough reason to not turn her into an enemy even to the Order and the Imperial Family?
Or, I started to wonder if I was already wrong in that I really wanted to kill Leo Epsilt in the first place.
Felice seemed to be restless from earlier.
Maybe it’s because her family is a hwangjapa.
Right now, the Prince’s faction, the Duke of Epsylt, and the Mage Tower are at war, and the Prince is openly taking the side of the Duke of Epsylt.
Of course, she must be left uneasy.
That’s true, but considering Scarlett Marche’s personality, I don’t think she’d really care about that.
More than that, I thought about Leo Epsilt, who tried to kill Felice, a member of the same royal family.
‘No, since the county of Ansberg has fallen anyway, I guess it’s not really a burden.’
Thinking so, I suddenly became curious.
Perhaps it was Felice’s mother who ruled the county of Ansberg now.
How will she react to this situation?
‘And the head of our family too.’
I asked Scarlett, who still looked annoyed.
“I, the Mage Tower Lord.”
“ok?”
“At the entrance of the magic tower earlier, the head of the house… I saw my father. why did i come here… ”
“Oh, I called for help. anticipate.”
She speaks in a meaningful tone.
“By the way.”
“Yes.”
“Louis Wallenstein, do you have a bad relationship with your father?”
To that question, I was perplexed.
Are you also a magician?
Do not hesitate to ask such a question.
“Master!”
Even Veronica from the side calls Scarlett as if surprised.
I started thinking for a while.
and an immediate conclusion.
“I do not know… I think that’s normal enough.”
“Is that so? Well, got it.”
Scarlett shrugged her shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
I don’t know why, but the party members look at me with sad eyes.
Really why?
No, of course, on Earth, this would not be a good relationship even with empty words.
Well, in this world, there are a lot of families who are trying to assassinate each other right away.
Compared to the Count and Countess of Ansberg, whom I heard in a letter from Lucy after I fell out with Felice…
Well, wouldn’t it be an ordinary family relationship with Count Wallenstein?
… It was the thought.
More than that, what I’m curious about right now is what the hell Count Wallenstein was talking about with Scarlet Marche.
Maybe the count will come to the imperial palace tomorrow too?
“So, even though the words are long. Anyway, you should go with me tomorrow. Would everyone be okay with going and testifying?”
“yes!”
All party members nodded.
If that’s the case, everyone can do it with pleasure.
“great. I’m sorry I called you all the time, but me and Sally are both busy. Veronica, let me see the Mage Tower.”
“Yes, Master!”
Scarlet Marche gets up from her seat.
Sally gets up after him and greets us.
“Then, hello everyone!”
Well, since war has been declared on the Duke of Epsylt, there must be a lot of work to do.
they leave the room
We too, slowly, patted our stomachs and got up from our seats.
“Do you want to walk while digesting? I’ll show you around the Magic Tower.”
Everyone nods in agreement with Veronica’s words.
“Come on, this way!”
—
Bang!
Someone knocks on the door outside the room.
“Louis, wake up!”
Veronica’s voice.
Bang!
“roo… ”
Bump.
I opened the door.
“Hot, that’s a surprise!”
Veronica is startled by the sudden opening of the door.
“Huh… good morning… ”
“Yeah, good morning!”
“Then I’ll sleep a little more… ”
I just crawled into bed.
Yesterday, I watched the horse tower introduced by Veronica until late at night with the party members.
Because there were so many strange things that literally made my eyes roll.
We followed Veronica around every corner of the tower, unaware that time was running out.
Then, in the middle, he meets Sally, who looks tired by anyone.
At her words about what you guys are doing until now, I knew it was late at night.
Anyway, that’s why I’m so sleepy.
As I put on the blanket, Veronica approaches me.
Poof!
“oh!”
She walks through my blanket.
“Wake up, Louie! Because breakfast is ready!”
“Ahhh… are you not sleepy Why did you wake up so early… ”
“Isn’t it early? Sally always told me to lead a regular life.”
Oh, Sally too.
Good Life Wizard.
I got up from my seat while grumbling.
Looking at it, Veronica seemed to be the last to wake me up.
When I followed her to the dining room, the other party members were just munching on toast and bacon.
“Good morning everyone… ”
“Ha-am, good morning.”
Not only me, but everyone else looked sleepy.
Me too, sit at the table and mutter some toast with jam.
Scarlett Marche entered the restaurant.
“Huh… Get ready, everyone. We must start slowly now.”
As expected, Scarlet Marche, who looked sleepy, said so.
After roughly finishing our meal, each of us took our luggage and climbed into the carriage.
The same carriage as the one we rode on yesterday.
Is it different this time that Scarlett and Sally are riding together?
The inside of the wagon was wide anyway, so just because there were two more of them, it didn’t make it too small.
Inside the carriage, Scarlett explained to us what we must do to go to the imperial family.
Even if it had to be done, it was actually very simple.
“You just have to go and answer the questions. I’m only going to ask what happened anyway, so if you answer the truth, there’s no problem. got it?”
“yes.”
Scarlett’s request was so simple that I was a little nervous.
Anyway, that was the end of it.
I and the other party members fell asleep quickly, perhaps because of lack of sleep last night.
“It’s all here, guys!”
We woke up with Sally’s shout.
Open the door and step out of the wagon one by one.
“Wow… ”
Everyone bursts in admiration.
The imperial palace of the empire was so majestic and splendid.
Scarlet Marche hits Aine’s back, seemingly overwhelmed by the appearance of the Imperial Palace.
“Hey!”
“Do not tremble! There is nothing to worry about.”
Was it impossible to enter the imperial palace by carriage?
Leaving the carriage behind, we headed towards the entrance of the imperial palace on foot.
“stop! Are you a visitor?”
Of course, the knight guarding the front gate stopped us.
Without saying anything, Scarlett took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and handed it to the knight.
The knight who was handed the parchment glanced at it for a moment, returned it, and immediately opened the way.
“You may go in.”
“Come this way.”
Scarlet Marche says
She led us to the building on the right in the center of the imperial palace.
A familiar movement, as if you had never been there before.
Seriously, when it comes to Matapju, you will have a lot of visits to the Imperial Palace.
Another knight blocks us in front of the building again.
“Excuse me. Possession of weapons and other dangerous objects is not allowed inside the palace.”
He beckons to the other knights.
“If you submit the armament, we will keep it on our side. We would be obliged for your cooperation.”
With that said, starting with Scarlett, everyone handed over the staff and swords they were holding to the knights.
I also handed the Epsilt family treasure sword that I was used to now to the knight.
Finally we were able to enter the building.
“Come this way.”
This time, a court official comes out to guide us.
I moved for a while, looking around the colorful hallways.
Finally he led us through an ornate gate.
There was no one in the room, but a huge table in the center.
At first glance, it looks like a meeting room.
“Wait a minute. Others will come soon.”
Leaving only those words, the court official left the room.
When we are finally together, Aine expresses admiration.
“Whoah… It’s really great. ”
It’s like a kid whose eyes are gone.
“Hmm, anyway, our Mage Tower is cooler, right?”
Veronica says next to her.
after a while.
Sigh.
The door opened again, and everyone turned their gaze toward it.
