Chapter 403 (2/2)

“Jin!”

It was a blond young boy with blue eyes, a bit shorter than Jin. Behind him were a female bronze-colored golem and a woman dressed up as a maid. And standing right next to him was a lady whose Jin recognized instantly.

“Your Highness! And…”

The young boy was Ernest, the third prince of Egelia Kingdom. The golem was Lotte, naturally, and the other woman was Layla Sorius from the Royal Secret Maid corps who had been appointed to the prince.

“Long time no see, Jin.”

Finally, the lady who Jin had easily recognized was Lieschen, the Princess of the Klein Kingdom.

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

Jin felt that the princess wouldn’t ask that herself, so he asked first.

“…I’m doing fine. Just a bit tired, but I’m pulling through.”

“Ah, Jin, it’s just that Lies has been put under a forced march in order to bring her back to the Shouro Empire.”

‘I see’, Jin thought. The Egelia Kingdom may be far away from where they were now, but coming here all the way from the Klein Kingdom, which was even farther away, must have been quite tiresome. Both for her and her attendants.

“Glad to see you’re well, Jin…”

Even Jessica Norton, Captain of Princess Lieschen’s Imperial Guard, was not looking as energetic as usual.

Seeing that, Jin thought about sending some provisions to them later, but then realized that sending provisions to such an important person from another country would be quite troublesome.

“I was to have a formal meeting with Lies, but I wanted to come see this expo as well. Then Lies told me that she wanted to see me too, so we thought about coming here together.”

The Celuroa Kingdom stands between Egelia and Klein. So they arranged to meet in Tellurus, a city close to the Celuroa metropolis of Essaia, and headed towards the Shouro Empire in order to attend the Technology Expo together.

Perhaps they were being a bit selfish in taking such liberties and coming here, both of them being so close to inherit their respective countries’ thrones.

“But you’re okay, right, Your Highness?”

“Yeah, we came here on that carriage that you made for us Jin, so it was still a pretty fun trip.”

“Ah…”

A horse-drawn carriage furnished with a Golem Suspension does have a different feeling of comfort when riding it. Without it, the level of burden one would feel while in a forced march would be in a completely different league.
