Chapter 26 - Volume 3 (1/2)

Volume 3

We advanced through the Spirit Forest for a while and once we got out, we arrived at Bivnaheim, the Country of Humans.

Wheat fields spread out all over the open, giving off the vibe of what a human country is.

Though farming is also done in the Country of Elves, The one here is larger in scale compared to ours.

“So that’s the royal capital…… what a huge city”

What’s in the scenery before me was a large castle town and a castle surrounded by it.

On approximate, about a 100,000 people live there.

Even though their technology has still not advanced quite yet, to establish this scale of a building is quite the feat already.

At least they are hundred times larger than an ordinary house.

“We have finally reached their royal capital, but how will we get in?”

I asked Cecil by my side.

“Hmmm. Let’s see. Normally there is something like a gate way, but we will definitely be turned down if we just go in”

At the entrance of the town there was a fancy gate, and there were quite a few people lined up there.

Apparently, the human king seems quite keen on security.

“If that’s the case, I have an idea. Would you mind?”

Effie spoke, with a scheming face for some reason.

“Effie-san, please don’t make a fuss if possible”

“You don’t have to give me that scary look Cecil-chan. This one is safe, I tell you”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Ufufufufu, same way I did with Allan-kun”

※

“We really got through”

“Prince, I feel like we did something bad.”

We used temptation magic against soldiers guarding the gates.

The soldiers who received that power became friendly to us and we passed through the gate without much inspection.

Because it will become an uproar if we exposed ourselves as elves and spirit, and putting on hoods will further enhance their suspicion, we chose this way. But the power of magic sure is amazing.

Because the security at the entrance was strict, once we got inside the capital, it didn’t become a fuss anymore even if we are elves.

I guess they fully trust the security of this country.

“So far I can see that their king’s ruling is quite good”

If it was a tyrannical King, w war would likely be happening right now, and it will be impossible not to get involved with it.

If we could exchange our branches well, the world will be one step closer to unification.

But to do it, I have to persuade the king first.

“By the way, how about Cecil and Effie?”

“Effie felt a bit dizzy, so Cecil is supporting her in the meantime”

“Haa, then we’re free at the moment. Let’s search for an inn first”

“I concur. It will become a serious situation if the prince can’t hold it in anymore”

Fran Jested a little.

“Hey, that’s…..”

“I’m right, am I not?”

“Though I admit that I’m lively when speaking of my relationship with women, I can also act normally you know?

“heee, this is surprising. I certainly thought you will be chasing over women’s butt at all times”

“heyhey……”

Certainly, there are days when I’m like that.

But because I’m also a part of the royal family, I have government affairs to do too so I have to fix myself over it..

Thankfully, the Country of Elves has a small population, so it is quite easy to manage the affairs.

Thinking the amount of work necessary to rule over this capital of the humans, I am again thankful I wasn’t born to this royal family.

“Well, in the meantime we should look for a way to meet with the King”

Fran also nodded to those words.

The current problem right now is meeting him.

“Elves and Humans have been out of diplomatic relations for quite some time”

“You’re right. And this won’t go that easy like the Country of Spirits”

Although both are living in isolation, elves and spirits have a solid diplomatic relationship for ages.

In comparison with the Country of Humans, we haven’t heard from each other after forming an alliance, and that was a long time ago.

And if the elves are the one saying it was a long time – what’s it even more with the humans? It would probably be like an era or so.

“I feel like I would be detained at once if I suddenly reveal that I’m the Elven Prince here”

“With that kind of security, it is very likely”
