The sky lord? (2)
In the morning, there was a small commotion in the castle.
“That… … Aren’t they goblins and kobolds?”
“Eh, why are the corpses of the monsters here… … .”
Blood and corpses scattered on the floor.
Seeing that horribly torn figure, the maids with weak stomachs vomited.
It was such a rare sight to see.
“Take care of it. Leave no traces behind.”
“Yes, me, Your Highness. But these corpses… … .”
“Does the order to clean up require further explanation?”
“I’m sorry.”
I ordered the servants of the palace to do so and moved on.
His tired expression already made it seem like he didn’t even want to come closer, but he couldn’t help but obey the order.
Before long, the servants busily moved and began to clean it up.
Baron Vidor followed after confirming it.
“Your Highness, are you planning to go there from now on?”
“I guess so.”
The guys who dared to do this to the palace garden.
It was necessary to visit them in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.
Because there was a group of people who wanted the self-cleaning effect on the new heads.
I took Baron Vidor out of the castle.
“Uh, welcome, Your Highness.”
A temporary kennel prepared in an empty lot outside the palace. Upon entering there, the zookeeper came out in a cold sweat as if he was very embarrassed.
It was an expression that seemed to be caught on something that would be difficult if caught.
The reason could of course be guessed.
“Where are they now?”
“That, that… … Please come this way.”
The zookeeper gave up and guided the group.
And what I found there was a fence that was so broken that I couldn’t even recognize its shape… …
… … Beep?
It was the griffons who had gathered in it and trimmed their feathers.
The zookeeper quickly explained the situation as if making an excuse.
“I’m sorry. in fact… … Looks like the griffons went out last night. It was already like this when I checked in the morning.”
“I know.”
“… … Ah, did these children find the castle again?”
“I did find it.”
The only problem was that it caused a commotion.
The zookeeper continued to explain the situation as if he did not know that.
“Fortunately, all 30 of them returned safely. I was investigating the situation to see if there was any harm to the people around me. But… … Have you ever attacked people?”
“I didn’t attack.”
“Whew, I’m glad.”
Yeah, to be precise, it didn’t do any damage. It literally just annoyed me.
I frowned and approached them.
tweet!
Tit-!
They welcomed me by flapping their wings as I approached.
Did you say that the order is a solid creature? Because of the way I showed them the other day, it was clear that they were treating me as their superior.
It feels like a mother raising her… … .
‘It’s even more annoying that there was no malice.’
Perhaps bringing the corpse of the monster was a kind of repayment.
As proof of that, their eyes were full of expectations as if ‘how was it’.
Of course, the only humans who would like it in this situation would be scholars who discovered a new aspect of the baby phantom beast.
“I will take care of their education for the time being.”
“… … yes?”
The zookeeper’s expression went blank at my sudden words.
“Are you saying that the first prince will personally educate Griffon?”
“okay.”
Right now, they looked down on the ranks of the rest of the humans, except for me, who had enough power to overwhelm me with just my presence.
To the extent that you may not even be able to hear it.
‘Then I’ll have to let them listen.’
It was annoying, but I couldn’t help it.
To make it at least conform to humans. Because that was the kind of education they needed right now.
‘If I roll over, I’ll be heard.’
Such a theory, of course, also applied to monsters.
The chirping of birds resounded clearly without knowing what happened next.
tweet!
* * *
“… … What is that?”
“It’s a griffon.”
“… … .”
George, who returned to the royal castle belatedly from the north, witnessed an absurd scene.
tweet!
Cheep-beep!
Birds the size of a man’s torso rolling in the garden.
And it was none other than Prince 1 who commanded it.
“Has that man finally gone out of his mind… … .”
“Kuhm! Wouldn’t His Highness have an idea too?”
“You mean catching those birds around and training them like soldiers?”
There is no other way to describe it except to say that it was absurd.
To be honest, it was by far the best of all the travels of the first prince I’ve seen so far.
Surprisingly, the baron, who should have been angry and corrected his tone, also awkwardly dissuaded him.
“… … Still, it’s surprisingly effective. Lately, things that cause unnecessary commotion have decreased a lot.”
“If you roll like that, you won’t make a fuss even if you’re tired.”
“… … .”
Baron Vidor quietly averted his gaze.
In fact, the griffons seen outside the window clearly looked very tired.
If anything, it looked like he was about to pass out straight away.
However, it was not a lie to say that the commotion had decreased.
“greatness! In any case, you should consider yourself fortunate to be under control like that.”
“No, what is that?”
“You can’t compare it to normal baby animals.”
I don’t know if it’s George who just arrived at the royal castle, but hasn’t the baron seen the troubles of those little griffons?
In fact, the first thing I brought monsters to was the medicine department.
After that, the griffons realized that Prince 1 was not in a good mood and brought more monsters.
‘The servants who had to clean the garden every day looked sad… … .’
Putting aside those sad eyes, what kind of sin are those who clean it up in the first place?
Thanks to this, the seeds of the monsters that were occasionally found outside the capital dried up, but as a result, many people said they had to shed tears.
Of course, there were other commotions.
For example, he grabbed the old landscaper by the back of his neck and knocked him down because he ate the grass in the garden sparingly.
Because of his poor eyesight, there was a time when he tried to fight a lion statue decorated in the palace.
Lastly, I smelled the food and went inside the palace.
… … He was literally a troublemaker himself.
“Because of the commotion that happens every day, there was no good day in the palace. It was a shame because even that was valuable for research, to the point where I don’t know what Your Highness would have done otherwise.”
“… … .”
“There was a reason the keeper’s face was getting thinner.”
So just the fact that it didn’t happen anymore was a good thing.
So the baron stuck out his tongue at the past, and suddenly looked at George and asked.
“hmm? Come to think of it, Mr. George, why did you stay in the North?”
“It’s time to deal with it, okay?”
“interim… … process? What is it?”
“To put it simply, it means that all the work has been taken over.”
George wiped his tired face down and opened and closed his fists.
“The nobleman, when he came to his senses, returned home first.”
“… … ah.”
A strange sigh from Baron Vidor followed.
George, who was in front of him, was suffering as much as the keeper.
“… … Cheer up.”
“Will that give you strength?”
“Kuhm!”
However, unlike those words, George’s face was full of smiles.
Of course, there was no way the baron knew the reason.
If you look at it only on an absolute basis. The fact that he is responsible for more work than anyone else.
Surprisingly, the baron was a relatively comforting person just by looking at him.

After completing their training, I came up to the office.
Then he said to George, who was glaring at him with a pouty face.
“You’re back.”
“… … yes what I’ve had a good look at training the birds fringes.”
As expected, George nodded his head as he listened, then spoke out of the blue.
It seems that he didn’t like that he left the job and came to the palace first.
However, the talk about work was never handled roughly.
“The job was done faster than expected.”
“It’s about reinforcing the fort.”
“Should I say that the dwarves’ skills are amazing? If not, it should be said that having the materials for reinforcement was a great help… … Anyway, if it stays the same, it will last 100 years.”
“Right.”
The citadel on the new northern border was successfully fortified.
All of a sudden, the existing poorly built fortress went somewhere and became a castle wall reconstructed with the skill of the dwarves.
It wasn’t even an ordinary castle wall.
“Anyway, it seems that he gained some know-how from the construction of Galderd Plains fortress.”
“You said you even had a hand in the design.”
“The structure itself has been changed in places so that the axes thrown by the barbarians are difficult to reach over the walls.”
Then he handed me the blueprints for a new fort.
I looked at it, then nodded.
“This should be enough to stop them.”
“Can I take a closer look?”
“It’s something you already know.”
“yes? Are these the blueprints you drew after Your Highness left?”
George asked curiously, narrowing his eyes. But I just shrugged.
‘It must have been helpful.’
Back when work on the fortifications of the plains of Galderd had begun.
For the Dwarves who had no experience building a wall, I once told them about the structure of the wall in the future.
What was drawn on this blueprint was the essence of the castle wall structure taught at that time.
But to fully use the knowledge learned in less than a year?
That in and of itself was great.
In the first place, I only gave them a brief explanation, not a great lecture.
But the guys did it. In addition to that, he even applied it to the situation of barbarians.
It didn’t show it outwardly, but it was enough to feel a surprise inside.
“What about the Dwarves who reinforced the fort?”
“There is no point in having them stationed there, so we brought them all. I want to finish the fortification work in the plain.”
“Not a bad judgement.”
I grinned and rested my chin.
Even such a trivial instruction was the same as I thought, so I liked it as expected.
“Bring the person in charge of reinforcing the walls. I give the guys separate instructions.”
“Are you bringing me right now?”
“okay. I will be even busier from now on.”
From noble mtl dot com.
The fortification of the Galderd Plain wasn’t just about building a wall.
Maybe the busier it gets, the busier it gets, and there won’t be any leftovers.
“Aigoo… … It’s going to be difficult.”
The boy groaned and walked out of the office.
Seeing that he was holding on to his waist as if he was exhausted, it seemed that it was annoying that he started working as soon as he came back.
* * *
The place where George’s steps headed was the detached palace where guests from the royal castle stayed.
However, it had been a long time since the detached palace had become like a place where dwarves stayed.
In the first place, it was Esteban’s palace where guests did not often come and go, so it was natural.
“Are you going to the first prince’s office from now on?”
“Yes, what. It happened.”
“Okay. I’ll just finish preparing for a while and leave.”
The dwarf quickly got up from his seat at the words of George who came to the villa.
Rather, I was waiting for them to call at any time. You should be instructed to return to the plain as soon as possible so you can return to that nest.
I had felt this palace before, but it was a very static and boring place.
“Now guide me.”
“Come this way.”
So, the dwarf followed George’s guidance and started moving to the office.
Because it was the waiting time, it was a fast pace that did not suit him despite his short legs.
However, it was around the time they passed the garden that the movement stopped.
“… … hmm? that one?”
“That one? Oh, I heard it’s a griffon.”
“griffon?”
Griffons taking a break in the garden after training.
The Dwarf who was moving found it.
In an instant, the Dwarf showed great interest and opened his mouth.
“They are really brave guys.”
“I’m so brave that I get rid of it. It just woke up from an egg Your Highness picked up.”
“Oh, yes. Griffon’s eggs are hard to find even for us fairies who can handle phantom beasts, but it’s really amazing.”
“… … yes? What kind of small grain is that? What about dealing with phantom water?”
George asked in bewilderment, and the Dwarf said nothing in the midst of the question.
“hmm? What are you talking about? Wouldn’t it be common knowledge that the phantom beasts react to the blood of the fairies?”
“… … !”
“Is that knowledge unknown to people of this age?”
In an instant, George’s eyes widened endlessly.
