Vestia’s Royal Castle
TL: SupremeTentacle
ED: Exkalamity
Guendalfa led us out of the Adventurers’ Guild and onto the street after boasting that he would introduce us to Kiara Hisit really easy for us to follow behind him We could see the Royal Castle from the Adventurers’ Guild but that didn’tit was; it’s sheer size messed with my sense of distance It took us twenty ate of the Royal Castle As we approached,that the walls around the castle were just as tall and wide as the walls surrounding Vestia There was even a ed into the earth, co a stone portcullis on top
“This castle was designed as the capital city’s final bastion,” explained Guendalfa He seeuide for us “If need be, the castle can be turned into a fully are to breach the city’s walls will have to deal with a second set”
As we approached, a guard appeared out of a house next to the drawbridge on the town side
“Halt,” he said “You are now entering upon the royal castle All ish to pass must first validate their identities”
Guendalfa approached the guard
“I am Guendalfa, son of the Patriarch of the Rhinokin WithPrincess herself! I vouch for her identity on uildmaster in Vestia”
He handed over a black card and a sealed letter to the guard
After opening up the letter and reading the contents carefully, the guard looked at us in disbelief
“You could get an audience with the king with this letter,” he muttered
An audience with the king? What the hell kind of recouildmaster write us? He puts way tooone delivery quest
It would ive Fran such a recoive it to her The guild probably wanted to build ties with the first black catkin to evolve since the tribe’s downfall Fran end, and because of that, the guild wanted to gain her favor early into her career Likewise, the Beast Lord had given her a crest with his personal ensignia engraved into it back in Ul the sa
Actually given his musclehead personality, probably not But Royce, his aide, had definitely thought that quickly establishi+ng a working relationshi+p with Fran was prudent given her circumstances
I urged Fran to give the guard the crest It was ured there was no har it
“Nn”
“This is…!” The guard’s eyes bulged froers into the crest
“P-P-Please wait one uard and he dashed back into the guardhouse We saw him hold the crest up to a crystal shard, which flashed briefly upon activation Afterwards, the guard ran back to us and gingerly handed the crest back to Fran
“H-here’s your ID back,is in order Please enter!”
He signaled behind hie slowly began to open
“A! You even had the Beast Lord’s crest with you,” said Guendalfa “You didn’t need me at all You should have left someone like me behind”
“Not true”
Fran was right Even if ouldn’t have needed Guendalfa to pass through the gates, he really helped s with the guard on our behalf More importantly, his couards would have doubted usour e in attitude had really benefited us Guendalfa’s behaviour had come as a bit of a surprise, but it was by no means unprecedented Goldalfa had also becole combat
After passing through the gates on the castle side, Fran and I noticed another set of walls set up down the road
“Another wall?”
“Yes,” said Guendalfa “The castle is right past it”
“Why talls?”
