We Live in Dragon's Peak

Prioritizing what each of us wanted to do and had to do, we decided to spend our holidays separately. [M]

Well, it's the usual, isn't it?

"... so, Cefina, why is Cefina here with me?"

"Oh, it's because of my imagination." Coincidence, coincidence "

"No, no, you were ambushed in the depths of the Dragon Forest!"

Everyone acted differently, so our sisters Euphoria and Nina and Cefina also broke up in the moss plaza.

And Cefina was supposed to return to the Imperial Castle near completion to perform her official duties. However, Sefina hid in the depths of the Dragon Forest pretending to leave first, and she waited for me to break up with everyone in the moss square again.

If I hadn't walked close to Cefina, I would have waited so long.

"Fufufu, it's okay around here." Ernea, I know what you're doing, and even if you're away, I'll read the signs and move. "

"Look, I've leaked the truth!" After all, you were waiting for an ambush!? "

Sefina, who was caught up in my induction conversation, laughed nicely.

An honest laugh with no guilt or backwardness.

"Oh, my God. If everyone finds out about Sefina's escape, they'll get angry."

Since we decided to all act separately, running out is basically forbidden. That's why Lila's so normal, and I left the mossy square by myself.

By the way, Luiseine, Lila and Madeline flew east on Nimia, and Yun Yun and Lynn returned to the Dragon King's Forest after delivering Priscia to the village of the Ears.

As soon as Old Slagsta's care was over, Mistral was transferred to Dragon Peak's family home today.

Then, Cefina's two sisters, Euphoria and Nina, left Cefina late from the mossy square. I don't think they have official business, so I'm sure they'll spend some time relaxing in the capital.

That's why I thought I'd stop by my parents' house and take a breath. I was captured by the ambushing Cephina, and I came back to the King's City with her.

"So, Cefina, what are we going to do now?"

"That was as originally planned." When I send you home, I'll return to the Royal Castle and finish your accumulated official duties. "

I mean, we're just on the road together, right?

That's what I'm talking about.

This is not a race to the bottom, it's just a move in the same direction. Sefina pushed through on the pretext.

As long as Sefina keeps moving as planned, I'll be fine.

Therefore, the two of them walk alongside each other in the king's city.

Sometimes it was past noon, and the king's city was busy.

Brand new buildings line the main roads, and trees, flower beds, and parks are beautifully maintained.

People are caught by the delicious smell that they can get in from the stalls, and when they find out who they are, they stop and talk, or combine their shoulders and walk into a nearby shop. Maybe it's time to keep the banquet going and stay busy until night.

Reconstruction has progressed.

I see. Once in a while, when I visit King's Landing, it's always fresh because the streets are so different.

"It's been years since then. It's early."

"Ernesto, don't say anything stinky."

Ahahah, that's right.

Buy meat skewers at affordable stalls, sit in the park square, and eat together.

After thinking about it, I haven't eaten anything since I had breakfast in the mossy square.

Both of you have a light stomach before you go home.

It's still early summer and the sun is a little hot, but it's not unpleasant.

Cefina and I walked from the back of the Dragon Forest to the King's City, soaking up the sunshine and healing the fatigue.

Sometimes I feel the gaze of people walking around the park and playing around. I'm sure it's unusual because Princess Sefina is slowly relaxing in the park.

Even now, my face is not very widespread. [M]... should be.

As usual in the Kingdom of Yortenitos, the picture of the goddess is still widespread, and in the Kingdom of Armad, Listeria is more famous as a hero with tradition and format.

My face is known to adventurers and aristocrats alike, but it's hard for ordinary citizens to tell that I'm the only one with chestnut hair.

Besides, I'm not wearing the iconic spirit tree sword and white sword around my waist.

On the contrary, Sefina, as a princess, has long been widely known by the people. However, even if it is only royalty, the ordinary people shall not speak cheerfully. At most, from a distance, she said, "Princess!" I can see it. "

I wonder if Sefina was accustomed to the eyes of the general public, and she was relaxed beside me without worrying.

Slowly, a pure white cloud flows through the blue sky.

I don't know if I can keep doing nothing until the evening. What a lazy heart it was when it began to spring out.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

A well-dressed young man called out to us. [M]

Yes, what is it?

I respond with a smile. [M] However, I was sensitive to the signs that Sefina's expression was tightening next to me.

Who is this young man?

The young man waited gentlemen for us to get up and called himself politely. [M]

"My name is Rottl al-Seriford."

There is a middle name. In other words, a young man of nobility. And when she read Lottle's identity from the inside, Sefina supplemented her from the side.

“Mr. Ernea, he is the son of Count Seliford, who has a territory on the other side of the Schulanell River.”

I see.

In the neighbouring kingdom of Yortenitos, the count is an honorable title in which only Jugra-sama is named.

But the Armageddon Kingdom was a little different. It's not as noble as the Kingdom of Yortenitos, but people in the privileged classes usually exist, and some of them are of a higher rank than the Viscount.

Mr. Rottle is said to be the eldest son of the family of counts.

Yes. I wonder what Mr Rottl, a trace of a nobleman, is doing for me?

Oh, no.

A nobleman? A customer of Sefina's?

I was about to give up, but Mr. Lottle's gaze was directed straight at me.

"Ehh...? Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Ernest Ease."

That's right. Mr. Rottle gave me a polite name, but I forgot it.

I'm in a hurry to straighten myself up and say hello without rudeness.

Mr. Rottle kept his sincere gaze on me.

Now that I've given my name, Mr. Rottle must have recognized who I am. Is that why I'm serious about my gaze?

No, it's not.

Mr. Rottle was looking straight ahead before I called him. Not the princess Cefina, but me.

As expected, Mr. Rottl returns a confident nod when he hears my name.

"After all, was it Lord Elnea, who can be revealed as the Great Savior?" I thought you were with Lord Sefina, Lord Ernea, and I called out with all due respect. "

I see. That's how the answer came to be.

Even if I didn't know my face, a man with cheeky cheeky hair who chatted with the princess would almost certainly be "Ernest Ease".

I see, I see. And admiringly, Rottle kept her sincere gaze on me and spoke unexpectedly.

Lord Ernéa, I want you to fight for your destiny!

"Yeah, yeah!"

Sefina was so surprised by the sudden offer that she supported me with a bitter smile.

"Oh, why are you playing against me?" Besides, you bet your fate on it!? "

I tilted my neck at the sudden offer that I could not imagine from the gentlemanly answer that I deserved as a man of great nobility.

But Rottl answered me seriously and sincerely.

“As the son of the Seriford family, I would like to formally apply to His Highness Cephina for a marriage. However, according to recent rumors, His Highness's heart is directed at you, Lord Elnea."

I have never officially announced my relationship with Sefina.

Of course, the king, queen, and the people close to them might have noticed.

Still, there are a lot of problems between us, so we can't make a big announcement yet.

That said, I have not hesitated to say that I've been working with Ms. Cefina here lately, and the fact that I'm not trying to hide it will spread quickly as a rumor. Rottl heard the rumor and called me.

I'm going to apply for a marriage with Cefina.

"I will not marry a weak lord."

Cephina is perfectly clear. However, it seemed that Mr. Rottle had understood it.

"Anyone who wants to be associated with His Highness Sefina is aware of this." That's why I asked Lord Ernea to fight. "

Nojima was gathering around.

Applying for a match in a public place. Besides, I was married to the princess.

I was impressed with Mr. Rottle, who had been gentlemenly challenged, thinking that the park was starting to get busy.

Sefina's personality is well known to the people of Arm 'ad Kingdom.

Like the king when he was young, he had a liberating character. When I noticed it, I was gone from the castle, and I was on my own on an adventure.

I don't rely too much on others because I have the strength to overcome any problems alone.

Is that why you have strict requirements for the opposite sex?

The weaklings were out of the question, and Sefina's ability to roar was a minimum requirement.

I wonder what that is. Why did Mr. Rottle challenge me? [M]

I want to show my measurements and strength in front of Mr. Sefina. If you beat me, you can prove it.

And Mr. Lottle has enough skill to show his strength by challenging me. Or rather, you have a lot of confidence.

Lotte-san looked straight at me and didn't feel any malice.

I want to marry Sefina with a pure heart, and I want to compete fairly with me.

Exactly, bet on fate.

If you can beat me, you can show the "strong man" that Sefina wants. Even if you lose, you can communicate your thoughts through your gentlemanly standing behavior.

However, in the end, Sefina's feelings will take precedence, so even if she falls, it will be a bet.

Still, Mr. Rottle is trying to challenge me with a little hope and expectation.

"Ok, I'm not an innocent man who would refuse a sincere offer." I will do my best to meet Mr. Rottle's challenge. ”

In my response, there was a great cheer from the people who gathered here.
