67 Episode 66 The Crisis of the Elven Country.txt (1/2)

There was a high probability that Romesa was grabbing a piece of the crisis, Bellamus expected.

But then, should we go home and ask him directly?　And Vellums is troubled. It's very annoying to leave, but what should I do?　Vellums is troubled. But it was certainly the surest way.

Whether or not to return to the village once we're all back, Bellamus wonders. It's going to be quite a hassle, since we've brought our cargo here: ......

If I'm just going back, Bellamus thought, I want to be sure that Romesa is involved in this crisis.

If we go back and we're wasting our time, that would be awful.

I'm going to figure out how to find out if Romesa's involved.

(Come to think of it, there was some suspicion that Romesa was royalty in this country.)

He remembered that the family name Romesa spoke of could be the same as the Queen of this country.

Perhaps Romesa's own name had spread through the land.

So Belamus thought, and asked the town's elves if they knew the name Romesa.

”Romesa?　Oh, you mean Master Romesa?

I hit the first elf I saw who looked familiar.

”You know him?

You know what? Isn't Romesa El Mercredo the second princess of this country?

It's a princess after all. ...... Vellums finds out that he was right.

Have you heard that this Master Romesa is in some kind of trouble?

'Problem?　I've never heard of that. But if you get into trouble, you're going to be in big trouble.

”Is it a big deal?

You don't know that. You're only human. Four months from now we have the biggest festival in the country, the Patriarchal Wedding Ceremony.

”Wedding?

In the north of the country there's a guardian dungeon. There's a guardian goddess dungeon in the north of the country. To this guardian god a princess marries once every 100 years. Just four months after that, Master Romesa will marry. A guardian's wedding ceremony is to celebrate the engagement.

This was the first time I had ever heard of such a festival in Vellum.

”If something happened to Master Romesa and she couldn't marry her guardian, something terrible would happen.

What's going to happen?

There's a terrible witch country further north from the guardian dungeon. A long time ago there was a battle between the land of witches and elves and the blood of many people flowed. That battle was stopped by the guardian god. He put up a warding that prevented the witches from coming in from the land of witches. The wards still exist today, but the only condition for maintaining the wards is that I must marry a princess from the land of the elves.

”So, if this Master Romesa doesn't marry him, the demons will attack the elven lands and there will be a war.
