Chapter 47 - Volume 4 Chapter 9 – Private Meeting (1/2)

After making Erune fall, I took a little break, then straightened my clothes to get ready.

At the same time, I fixed her dress has well.

After all, we cannot afford to go outside in this state.

As soon as we got ready, we left the room.

The room was on the far end, so they shouldn’t have heard the sounds, probably.

“I want to get my people inside”

I said to Erune, who was walking next to me.

She walked in a pose so splendid that you wouldn’t think this is the same woman that I broke a while ago.

“That may be difficult”

“Even for you, the head of the knights?”

Erune affirmed through my words.

Great, and here I thought Erune had a quite a lot of power……

This country doesn’t trust anything other than Bivnaheim.

In that case, it is the army here that has power.

Because they were once destroyed by the demons, they invested more in their war potential.

It is the knights that protect the center of such a country, so Erune who is a leader must have considerable power …

As if she caught what I was thinking, Erune explained to me.

“Though there is a king in this country, below that is a parliament elected by citizens.”

“Parliament? Oh, I see …”

From there, I immediately understood.

It is because there was also a parliament in the country where I lived in the previous life.

“In this country, the power of the king and the power of the parliament are at odds. Above all, the knights are an organization under the king.”

Erune went on to explain this country.

It seems that the king had the most of the power before it was heavily damaged in the previous war.

After they have been defeated, he was forced to take the blame for the huge losses.

Then, the said parliament was born, in order to contain their criticisms to the king.

If so, then it seems that the military forces of this country is headed by the parliament.

“The knights remained to be under the king. However, they were downgraded to just an organization to protect the city’s security.”

Unlike the image I was looking for, to think they became similar to the police now…

“That’s why not all your friends can get in. It will make you stand out too much.”

Certainly, I’m sure it’ll create much more uproar than Bivnaheim’s.

I worry about Effie this time.

“If everyone is impossible, what if I only take a single person with me?”

“Then you may be able to secretly go to the King”

“Thank you. This is a great help for us.”

I patted Erune’s back in gratitude.

If I’m alone, I don’t have anyone to contact outside when something happens.

So I’m going to choose Cecil as my companion.

“By the way, to your other companions that will be standing by, have them stay at the Knight’s facility just in the outskirts of town. Their level of accommodation is similar to an inn’s so they should be fine.

“Understood. I’ll let them know”

At least, they can rest much more than compared to sleeping in a tent.

After that, I went into the city with Cecil as planned.

We wore hooded robes to hide our sharp ears.

Then, we were led by Erne to the castle where the king is staying.

“I thought this town would be much different because it hates other races, but this is surprisingly normal.”

Cecil who walks next to me said unexpectedly.

“That’s right, it looks no different from the city of Bivnaheim”

People are coming and going, and the shops on the street are full of vigor.

Dark emotions could not be felt from the faces of these inhabitants.

“It because inside this city…… inside these walls is a living space only for humans. For them, it’s like a sanctuary.

Erune explained to us with a proud tone.

The peace of this city is thanks to the work of the Knights.

“Let’s hurry on ahead. If they find out who you are, even I won’t be able to stop the commotion”

We nodded in earnest to her words.

We reached the castle while using the back alleyways so as not to stand out.

And we even went in from the back door so that the citizens would not find it.

Of course there were guards in the back, but when Erune made up a few words, it became easy for us to pass through.

The knights are an organization close to the king, so Erune’s persuasion is quite effective in the castle.
