Episode 201
EPISODE.101
It was not that difficult to get from the outer wall of the royal capital to the palace.
As soon as they crossed the castle wall, the troops following Daria and Hemingway began to act as if they had been waiting.
“Everyone get back!”
“You are His Majesty’s guest! “Get out of the way!”
Quickly!
As soon as they step out and a human barrier is erected, it splits to the left and right, and a long road appears along the middle of the bustling royal road.
‘It was for this reason.’
Only then did Russell realize why the king had sent the troops with the two men as guides.
‘If you just pass through the castle, you’ll attract too much attention.’
Arain and Io.
The beauty of the two fairy tribes was not at all different from that of the elves, who are portrayed as a land of beauty in the story.
Besides, his personality is just a bit brazen.
‘Muyaho is also a beauty that can’t be surpassed by these two… … .’
There must have been a big commotion the moment I got off the carriage. The glancing glances of the knights and soldiers who created a human barrier every time the party took a step proved this fact.
Even just one beauty was enough to attract the attention of those around her.
There are three such beauties gathered together… … .
No matter how trained they were, they couldn’t help but move their eyes instinctively.
As he walked along the path made by the soldiers, Russell asked Daria.
“Master. “By the way, how is the situation in the royal capital?”
At the time of his mission, the royal capital was in the midst of restoration work.
So what now?
‘Seeing as the crackling sound has decreased considerably compared to then, it seems like the work is quite finished.’
Daria answered Russell’s question.
“If you look at the overall aspect, it is safe to say that more than 90% of the restoration has been completed.”
“90%… … , Is the palace the only thing left to do?”
When Russell asked, Daria nodded. Even so, he was a king who wanted the facilities for the people’s lives to be restored first, rather than the royal palace.
It was not surprising that most of the last remaining restoration sites were concentrated in the royal castle.
“Well, you don’t have to worry so much. There is some work left to do, but most of it is just miscellaneous facilities. “Most of the main palaces and annex palaces that play major roles have been rebuilt.”
As she said, the appearance of the royal palace that arrived across the capital was quite different from before Russell left.
‘New palaces were built on top of the collapsed palaces.’
Should we really say that they were the wizards of the Imperial Tower, who completed all of this construction in just over a month?
Daria giggled as she glanced at the beautifully built palaces one after another.
“Nicolo, that little guy had a hard time not sleeping properly.”
It must have been an image of Nicolo making a groaning sound.
‘Otherwise there’s no way you’d be smiling like that.’
Of course, that’s just what she said, and Daria probably wasn’t just playing around either.
He must have helped rebuild the royal capital in various places. I would like to share some stories from the time I was away.
Soon, the group’s steps stopped.
chuck-.
It was in front of the newly built main palace, the largest conference room among them.
‘They said it was newly built, but did they just keep the structure the same and expand the size?’
Somehow, the door leading into the conference room seemed to be slightly larger.
“Please tell me.”
When Daria gestures to the servant standing in front of the door, he takes a deep breath and shouts in a loud voice.
“your majesty! “The distinguished guests have arrived!”
An answer came from inside.
“Get out!”
Cough keug keung-.
At the same time, the door to the conference room opens and the interior is revealed. The only thing that changed was the size of the door.
‘Has not only the size of the conference hall changed, but also its structure?’
Extending to the left and right are stair-shaped seats. Above it, the kingdom’s leading figures were seen lined up according to rank.
And, the king stands at the head of the road in the very center. Alfonso Ratmos was sitting.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
When the door opens, Daria and Hemingway pass Russell and head to their seats, as if the tour has ended.
Amelia Merwin and Russell bowed their heads in turn as they walked down the middle aisle.
He said, kneeling lightly on one knee.
“Amelia Merwin, owner of the White Tower of the Royal Capital. “I have returned after completing the mission given by His Majesty.”
“Russell Raymond, Duke of the Kingdom. “I have returned after completing the mission given by Your Majesty.”
The king parted his lips with a satisfied expression upon hearing the two great wizards’ reports.
“Thank you for your hard work. “I will never forget the hard work of my servants, so just raise your head.”
Then, his gaze turns to the demi-humans located behind the two people.
The first to bow their heads were the fairy mother and daughter, Arain and Io.
“Arain, Meneur of the White Ash Tribe, greets the lord of Endymion and benefactor of the fairies. “This is my daughter, Io.”
“I am the Sentinel of the White Ash Tree Tribe, and I am grateful to the benefactors of the fairies.”
Perhaps it was because of the beautiful appearance unique to elves, or perhaps it was because of their refreshing, moist voices.
I even had the illusion that the unique atmosphere of the conference room had somehow become brighter.

“Huh, indeed. Elf.”
“Isn’t it as rumored?”
A murmur arose among the worn-out court ministers at the sight of the rarely seen elves.
If Muyaho’s voice hadn’t been heard later, that atmosphere would have continued.
“Muyaho, the king of the beast people, greets the master of Endymion.”
In his own way, he seems to have imitated the greetings given by the two elves before him, but the etiquette and respect are extremely clumsy.
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange silence fell into the conference room.
The ministers who were murmuring also all fell silent.
‘Oops.’
Russell, who realized his mistake at that sight, unconsciously touched his forehead.
One step at a time, he quickly stepped in front of Muyaho and made an excuse that was not an excuse.
“sorry. your majesty. I’m still not used to using polite language… … .”
“haha.”
Fortunately.
“I completely understand. I, too, am ignorant of the culture of the fairy and beast people. Please don’t mind and ask for your understanding if I make a mistake.”
The king’s mood didn’t seem that bad.
“More than that, I don’t know if there were any inconveniences coming here.”
On the contrary, he seemed to fully understand that point and even changed the topic with a friendly smile.
“Thanks to your consideration, I came here comfortably.”
Arain’s soft voice and response began to warm up the atmosphere again, and only then did Russell heave a sigh of relief.
‘after.’
I’m not sure, but I clenched my fists tightly as I noticed Muyaho rolling his eyes and looking at me with a confused look, as if he knew he had made a mistake.
I guess-.
‘While I’m in the royal capital, I should at least teach you some basic etiquette.’
Unless something special happens, from now on the beastmen will live as citizens of Endymion within Endymion’s territory.
and.
Muyaho was the leader of those beasts, and at the same time, he was destined to become an honorary nobleman of Endymion.
‘You need to learn proper etiquette.’
While Russell was making that promise─.
“Thank you for willingly giving us a large forest. On behalf of all the elves of the Great Forest, I thank you. “We fairies will not forget the grace shown by the master of Endymion until the day when the forests of the continent run out.”
“haha. Even grace. “I hope that the neighbors in the forest can stay comfortably until the forest returns to its original state.”
─Words were exchanged several more times between Alain and the King.
“Now that I think about it, I don’t know if I’ve been holding on too long for guests who couldn’t get over their fatigue due to the long journey.”
The King smiled softly, feeling the atmosphere gradually getting warmer.
“I think it would be a good idea to go back today and relieve the travel fatigue. “For those who live in nature, we have set aside a villa in a beautifully lush forest.”
Although not as good as the elves, the beastmen were also a race accustomed to living surrounded by forests.
“and… … “If it is okay, I would like to ask you to grace the occasion by attending the palace ball that will be held in three days.”
It was the exact story I heard from Russell in the carriage just before arriving at the royal capital.
“If you’d like to invite me, I’d like to.”
Arain answered somewhat calmly, and the king’s gaze shifted to Muyaho.
“Lord Muyaho. “I plan to hold the title award ceremony on the same day and at the same location, but what do you think?”
“hmm… … .”
Still, Russell must have been aware that he was not used to using polite language, and he gently pressed his lips towards her as she was secretly observing him.
[I will follow your wishes. your majesty. Say it quickly.]
“—I will follow your wishes. lung… … under.”
Although the answer was a little inarticulate, the king nodded happily at the answer, which was much better than before.
A visit to the royal capital by the fairy tribe and the beast king.
The first day was so… … It was ending safely.
.
.
Tdandandan, tdandandan-.
Three days later, the music played by the Royal Palace Orchestra played softly in the background.
Sereung-.
The King, Alfonso Ratmos, pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist.
It was a ceremonial sword that had not been sharpened on purpose and was richly decorated with jewels.
In front of the king, Muyaho was kneeling with his head bowed.
Unlike his usual free-spirited attire, he was dressed in a tight-fitting uniform.
“Muyaho, king of the beasts, listen.”
The king raised his sword upright and spoke to the kneeling Muyaho.
“You are the king of the beastmen, and at the same time a nobleman of Endymion… … .”
Be loyal to your country, be generous to the weak, etc… … .
It was a ritual-like process that everyone had to go through at least once if they were to receive a noble title.
Various words continued in a stern atmosphere, and Muyaho pounded his chest once with his fist, as if waiting for the king to finish his story.
“As a noble of the proud kingdom of Endymion, I swear to faithfully fulfill all my duties.”
Although he still looked a little awkward, there were small exclamations from various places at the sight of Muyaho, who was clearly different from before.
“Oh oh.”
“It looks like you learned some etiquette in the meantime.”
Russell, who had been holding his heart with a nervous look on his face until then, breathed a sigh of relief, and Chuck!
The King raised the sword in his hand high.
Half a beat later, he declared by lightly tapping Muyaho’s shoulders and head with the tip of his sword.
“good night. “I believe those words, and from this moment on, I give you the surname Lykos (λύκος) and make you an honorary count of the kingdom!”
Lykos is an ancient word that means noble wolf.
“Never forget today’s oath!”
“Seong-yi… … “I am devastated.”
.
.
“Whoa.”
After completing all the cumbersome ceremonies, Muyaho took a step back and sighed as if he was determined to survive.
He then took off the tie and buttons that were tight around his body and approached Russell.
“I did as you asked, but it was a really cumbersome process. c*ck.”
I don’t know when she got it, but there were several thick slices of meat in the bowl in her hand.
“I can’t help it. “For humans, that process is also an important culture.”
“hmm.”
As if he had no idea, Muyaho picked up a thick piece of meat and shoved it into his mouth. Meanwhile, Io, who had been wriggling his fingers, seemed to have decided on something and approached Russell.
“Mr. Russell.”
I called out to him with a slightly flushed expression.
“I know that the human ball is a place where men and women dance together… … .”
If it’s okay, would you mind dancing with me?—Quicker than asking that.
“Lord Io, and Lord Lycos.”
Io and Muyaho, a voice was heard from behind the two.
“If it’s okay, would you mind taking a moment? “I have something I want to share with you two.”
It was Hecate Latmos, with purple hair and eyes.
‘This person…’ … .’
‘A smell similar to that of a king. Then this female… … !!’
Io and Muyaho, who immediately recognized her identity, exchanged glances and nodded.
“I was wondering what if I got rejected, but I’m glad I did.”
As the two people accepted, Hecate smiled, leaving her eyes as they were and moving only the corners of her mouth.
It’s a laugh that somehow has a cool tone to it.
“In that case, I wish we could change the location to a quieter place.”
Russell shivered as he felt a chill coming from that laugh.
Then she stopped walking and turned around.
He said to Russell.
“Oh, please wait a moment. “I think we need to have a conversation that should only be held between women.”
The tone wasn’t much different from usual, but why did it feel like a warning?
‘Uh, um… … .’
As if he had been nailed in place, Russell opened his mouth, and Daria picked up the popcorn in her hand and ate it while watching him.
‘Giggle.’
Wajak, wajak.
