Chapter 143 (1/2)

The soldiers of Horant, who escaped without even a single one experiencing Hifumi’s threat, headed in the direction of the capital city to run away from the border where the mayhem continues while dawn hasn’t broken

More or less they have entrusted thethe capital’ for their superiors to another soldier so that it isn’t considered as fleeing, but since they haven’t received an order, they will likely be treated as deserters, strictly speaking

However, thataway themselves

They took advantage of the chaos, procured a carriage by giving the saorously rushed out towards the highway

Hifumi, who made sure of that up to that point, seizes a warhorse, which was set free from the stable tee at a distance where he can’t be confirht

Although there isn’t any harness attached, he skilfully keeps balance with a half-lotus position where he placed the top of his right foot on his left knee

“They are slow” (Hifumi)

In the long run the speed between a carriage and a single rider will be different

Hifuulate so that he doesn’t suddenly overtake thee’s soldiers made camp

Because it was a route he re them to head in the direction of the capital city

“If I’uys at the top are better” (Hifumi)

Though it was a horse he chose by intuition, it was apparently a winner Exhibiting its splendid leg strength of a swift, fawn-coloured horse, he reached a location where he could see the capital city after three days

Hifuive the horse into custody to a far him some money

The capital city of Horant, Adolameruk

Although it’s a country that currently has no legiti the poithin the castle has no effect on the populace and lower soldiers The city was relatively calm

Of course the confrontation with Orsongrande has raised unease ast the people There’s also thethat the successor, Nelgal, “is deerande” It has reached the point thatthe city and the security at the entrance to the city has become strict as well

However, compared to what they felt to be strict, it was in a word, 「weak」, in Hifumi’s case

With the nu absent- their spears, being 10, are they careless because they are far fro around without any motivation, are visible

Without there being even a single of the advantage of the night’s blackness, there was no one questioning hi the wall smoothly

Hifu after the soldiers at the national border, due to there being no more than this level of surveillance even in the capital city, heads silently to the castle while killing his footsteps nevertheless

“I did go around killing the soldiers the last ti aside the crown prince’s way of doing things, they fought while doing their best However, even if I just did the sa” (Hifumi)

While ure of Hifus’ shades and he vanished as ifaway and went towards the castle

When Vaiya’s vanguard unit, which took Viine and the others along, arrived at the defence encampment where I the horse in the village with the capital city right in front of his eyes

The sun is starting to sink, there are heavy clouds, which are thinly sticking to the sky, and a light rain is falling

“The Knight Vaiya has arrived just now” (Vaiya)

Seeing Vaiya, who visited the tent with I wet due to the rain, a maid quietly handed him a towel

“Vaiya-san, I’ you come here in hurry” (Imeraria)

“It’s for Your esteemed Majesty I feel that I want to receive your appreciation and praises after I obtained military results” (Vaiya)

Vaiya showing a feeling of being obliged in an exaggerated arded as ridiculous is for the sake of hi entered the battlefield, is so, she urges him towards the reception sofa

“Although he was the type ears clothes as too serious person since the tiht Order, his charactermentioned that at some time

Once she looks casually, Vaiya is still in the state of standing without sitting down

“What’s wrong?” (Imeraria)

“As ame…” (Vaiya)

“Acco, you say?” (Imeraria)

“Yes, as they named themselves as acquaintances of Earl Tohno, they told me that they want to meet with him They have joined me after I took over from Fokalore’s civil official, Paryu-san Those fellow travellers are unique It’s my humble wish to have them introduced to Your Majesty on this occasion” (Vaiya)

I anyone suspicious either

“Where are those people?” (Imeraria)

“Currently they are in thewith Captain Sabnak” (Vaiya)

It will probably be alright if Sabnak judges theo contact Sabnak so that they will enter the tent together with him

“How’s the situation in the capital?” (Imeraria)

“There haven’t been any particular problems Even as for the public order, since I requested Midas-san to handle it, there won’t be any issues, I think? There don’t seem to be any particular moves in Vichy’s direction either” (Vaiya)

Intentionallyit as in the “direction” of Vichy includes Fokalore as well

“Your Majesty, for you to reinforce our war potential at this time, were there some movements by Horant?” (Vaiya)

Due to Vaiya talking uneasily, Imeraria smiles calmly

“The oneswill be our side The full details will be explained at the next war council” (Imeraria)

“It’s Sabnak Uuests?” (Sabnak)

Sabnak’s voice was audible from outside the tent, but Imeraria knitted her eyebrows due to his evasive manner of speech

“Please enter” (Imeraria)

“Excuse me” (Sabnak)

The one who entered the tent first was Sabnak

And, seeing the four who followed after him, Imeraria became speechless

“Your Majesty, these are the gentlereat distance to meet with Earl Tohno” (Sabnak)

“I’m the elf Puuse”

“I’m Viine”

“I’u ~ssu”

“I-I am, M-Malfas!”

“… Your Majesty?”

“… Ha!” (Imeraria)

I herdue to Sabnak’s call, she elegantly wipes the edges of her mouth with a handkerchief

“I’do trip from the wastelands It’s the first time for me to encounter elves and beastmen, but… do you understand my words?” (Imeraria)

Looking at each other’s faces, Puuse takes one step forward

“Queen-sae I think a conversation won’t be a problem?” (Puuse)

“So, about thecome to meet with Hifumi-sama…” (Imeraria)

After asking several questions, I separate tents for men and women out of consideration that they can wait for Hifumi in the encampment

Once Puuse and the others, who are grateful for the war led byher brows

“… What did Hifu like a beastwo him up to here” (Imeraria)

Alongside a deep sigh, she drinks her cold black tea

“Anyway, it was a saving grace that Origa-san wasn’t here Sabnak-san, I leave it to you that they and Origa-san don’t run into each other until Hifumi-sama returns” (Imeraria)

“Aren’t you i too much there? They are people who have likewise fallen in love with Hifu well…” (Sabnak)

“Sabnak-san, you are naive” (Imeraria)

She stabs Sabnak with an unusually sharp gaze
