Chapter 25

On the next day, several carriages pa.s.sed through Earl Salzberg residence’s gate .

There were about fifty riders around them .

Of course, they were all fully armored .

They looked like they were going to a battlefield .

The carriages they defended were also giving sober impression based on black, and the horses pulled the carriages were also superb one . The s.h.i.+ny clean body showed that the horses had been given exceptional care and love .

From the point of view of quality, it was without a doubt among the finest one .

Nevertheless, their solid appearance gives off an air of intimidation to the surrounding .

At least, it was horses the n.o.bles won’t usually be used for sightseeing .

But then, that was natural .

These carriages were something the House of Lords had prepared exclusively for n.o.bles use, in other words, a prisoner carriage transport for aristocrats .

The sky was also different compared to yesterday, today it was cloudy with a high possibility to rain, the atmosphere was suitable for the vicious carriages .

It was as if implying the future that was about to come .

Ryouma then gazed at the sky lightly .

(Such ominous weather… It will be stormy for a while, but whether that is good or not, that is the question…)

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Of course, regardless of the weather, the future plan won’t change .

Whether the sky was clear or cloudy, it was just a matter of time .

But still, it was the nature of human to be superst.i.tious .

Though, the problem was it was hard to determine whether it was a good sign or not if rains were to come .

During the warring states, Mori Motonari, who manage to conquer western Chugoku region, and laid the foundation for Mori clans, had raised his status from a local lord to become warring state warlord, despite having smaller force he won the battle of Itsukus.h.i.+ma due to the heavy storm during the campaign .

Also, in the historical book about n.o.bunaga, it was said that during the battle of Okehazama, the battlefield was under heavy rain .

Some people had the opinion that that battle was said to be one of the reasons why Oda n.o.bunaga had won against Imagawa Yos.h.i.+moto by surprise .

In that sense, it was hard to interpret rain as a good sign or a bad sign .

Of course, the credibility about such opinion was low .

After all, history was written by those who won the war .

In addition, even if it was not forged due to bad faith, the human memory was unexpectedly unreliable due to fabrication from malice .

And in daily life, misunderstandings were quite common .

Moreover, the means of information transmission during the warring states period was extremely limited .

There was no guarantee that the content of the message was 100% correct, whether it was delivered using letter or by oral delivery .

In that case, no one knows whether it was actually really rained during the battle of Itsukus.h.i.+ma and Okehazama, and even if it had some implication, no one could understand the meaning behind such weather .

In the end, the concern was only up to that level .

(In the end, it has both, good and bad sign, depending on how people interpreted it . Well, though I understand about that, in the end, I am me…)

Thinking that there were no benefits for him to think further, Ryouma quietly proceed through the entrance hall of the Earl Salzberg mansion .

A few steps behind him, Laura and Sara, dressed in maid clothes followed him, and behind them were Yuria and Roberto .
