The hts of returning to the stronghold
“My God, M-May!” When May carabbed her hands and pulled her towards the knight, “Darling, do you knoho she is? She is theTheater, Miss May! Whenever she performs, the people ant to see her play line-up from the theater’s lobby and into the streets!”
Although the phrase “darling” caused May’s heart ju habits allowed her to reflexively sive a little nod, “hello”
“Ah, of course I know about her You’ve even toldone of the most famous actress in the West, there aren’t any nobles who do not know the nahed, then spoke in an apologetic tone to May, “My wife is a little lacking in her some manners I’m Ferlin, welcome”
He didn’t announce his name or his status, and even concealed his family name May’s heart was filled with sadness, but on the surface she ant expression, “I’m faht of the Western Territory, ‘Morning Light’, Sir Eltek I ize, because of the stress of theater work, I was unable to attend your and Irene’s wedding”
“That’s a thing of the past,” the knight said with a smile as he shook his head “Nowadays, I’ to the Eltek Family, so you really don’t have to be so polite to me”
He then waved in the direction of the others and continued “Let’s go back We can talk later, but first you have to finish your application for temporary residence”
Teacher? May was startled, does that mean he’s now a court tutor? The town’s Lord is indeed a prince, but the Prince would never lower hiht to take on such a role, ha And what’s all this about applying for teroup of us to a local reliable, and safe inn to stay at?
“I really did not expect you to come here If you were to play Cinderella, it would certainly cause a sensation!”
“Is that so?” May had some doubt about that She had never heard the name of that drama, which indicated that it had probably been written by a new playwright Moreover, it wasn’t like she had spare time for rehearsal, she’d only co, and if there was some way she could help him
After entering town, May realised that there was definitely so in this place The toas located on the border of the kingdom and the only role it served was to be an outpost for the stronghold, so why did it now look like a newly built city? The road everyone alking on was covered with dark gray gravel, and there was no mud to be seen anywhere on the whole road Further two carriages to pass each other side to side
“What kind of road is this?” Sam asked the question that was in her ely flat”
“Hehe,” Irene smirked, “When I first arrived here it was still made of mud, but now it’s become like this Furthermore, the road still isn’t finished yet; the masons have said that this is only the foundation for the actual road”
“Then they’ve fooled you,” Rosia retorted, “Everyone knows, only houses need a foundation Things that are already lying on the ground can’t collapse, so why should they need one ~ah?”
“Really, they ether with stones and then they spread it out Afterward, they sprinkle water on it and compress it with a stone roller until the road has becoht this was the new sort of road, but the hness, it seems to be called… water whatever layer In short, this is still only the foundation!” Irene turned around and continued leading the way, allowing her long plait to sith each step, “In the future when round will be paved with slate Only then will the true road be finished”
Paved roads? May coldly laughed inside her heart Other than the inner city of King’s City, which other city in this kingdo such a broad and flat road was already good enough There were still hold
Along the way through the town, she sadeardless of whether it was a clay-tile roofed house or a wooden house Although they were clearly not new houses, they still a far cry fro called uninhabitable “Did the Lord drive the the road?”
“No, they’ve all moved to another district”
“District?” May asked
“It is the new residential area, where everyone gets exactly the sainal residents had been assigned one, thator broken houses in town
Everyone can be allocated to a brick house? May could not believe her ears, this was even erated than paved streets Does she have any idea how much such an idea will cost? But since she was in front of Ferlin, she still had to s her words
There were a lot of other pedestrians on the street, so they would occasionally be stopped by people anted to greet Irene or Ferlin Thanks to this, May found out that Irene was also one of those so-called teachers
