Chapter 303 – SELF-PROCLAIMED EMPEROR’S SERIOUS IMPERIAL COMMAND (1/2)
CHAPTER 303 – SELF-PROCLAIMED EMPEROR’S SERIOUS IMPERIAL COMMAND
We advanced furthermore and saw a small house.
There is a shallow stream in the front and a hill behind.
Fishes could be seen swimming in the clear waters, and you can see different kinds of flowers blooming on the hill.
It’s an environment that a person who likes to live in a slow life would drool seeing.
『This is too small for an Emperor’s residence』
Eleanor pointed out.
That’s right. This environment that is more than enough to live a slow life isn’t a place where someone who would call themselves as Emperor would live in.
The small house wasn’t that far from being called a hut.
It looks like a structure that’s just a bit wider than a shed.
「Is it here?」
To make sure, I asked Agnes.
「It should be」
Agnes nodded and walked towards the small house. She unhesitatingly knocked on the door.
The sound of the thin board getting hit returned after the knock.
「Is anyone here?」
「Umu, I allow you to enter」
I heard a woman’s voice from inside.
She spoke in an exaggerated tone. I exchanged looks with Agnes and entered inside after nodding to each other.
「Ehh?!」
Agnes raised a voice that was closer to a scream.
The small house was only as small as a shed, but it was very spacious when we entered inside.
The interior seemed similar to Calamba Kingdom’s audience hall where Rica would usually stay.
It’s a wide and luxurious room almost the same as that.
There is a throne placed in the middle and a woman is sitting on that throne.
「You are late」
「Eh? What do you mean late……」
「However, I am a great and generous ruler. I forgive you for the small things such as being late」
「No, what do you mean late, we’re justーー」
「Come now, receive this」
She handed Agnes an envelope with an exaggerated gesture.
It’s a wax-sealed envelope with a majestic stamp.
「W-What is this」
「How odd of you to ask that. What else would it be other than this Emperor’s imperial edict」
「E-Edict?」
Edict……? Ahh, the official documents that the emperor gives out huh.
「One is for the adventurer’s guild, and one is for the officials in Reiusu」
「Uhm……」
「What are you doing. Take it quickly. No matter how generous I am, my time is not infinite nor worthless」
Agnes looked at me with a troubled face.
“What should I do?” was clearly written on her expression.
It can’t be helped, so I interrupted.
「Have you mistaken us for someone else?」
「……you ,are you not letter carriers?」
「No, we’re not」
「Hou」
The woman pulled back the hand holding the envelope.
After that, she stared at me with observing eyes.
「Uninvited guests entered my palace without permission huh. If I had my way, you have taken actions that would’ve been enough for you to be executed for your crime」
「Eh? But we areーー」
「However, I am a wise and generous Emperor. I shall forgive this level of impoliteness with a laugh」
After saying that, the woman really laughed.
She laughed in delight as if she’s watching a comedy show or maybe a variety show.
「Now then, no matter how generous I am, this Emperor does not have any time to waste for uninvited guests」
Agnes flinched.
She flinched wondering what would happen next.
「By the way, what are you called?」
「I’m Yuuki Kakeru」
「I’m Agnes, why……?」
「Hmm Yuukikakeru and Agnes huh. In the name of the Emperor of the Divine Mercouri Empire, Dunamis Savum, I welcome you」
「Eh?」
「With this, you are now my guests」
「……ehh?」
Agnes was surprised and confused, she had an expression in between.
『Kukuku, isn’t she quite interesting』
Eleanor laughed.
I agreed with her.
I looked at the womanーーDunamis, and looked around.
Actually, I’m even more curious about this audience hall more than her.
It looked like a small house only as small as a mass-produced shed from the outside, but it’s more than ten times wider inside.
It seems like an inconsistent place, as if it was connected to a space from a different dimension.
I feel like I saw a cat-type robot having a secret tool like this when I was a child.
『Kukuku』
Eleanor let out a meaningful laugh.
『What is it, Okaa-san』
『I’m just looking at how unusually foolish this man is』
『Otou-san’s foolish?』
『Although the prejudice within his knowledge is getting on his way, even so, there is no other way to describe him but foolish』
Eleanor said, with an even more happier tone.
It doesn’t feel like she’s seriously looking down on me or blaming me. It feels like she feels unusual about my mistake and she’s just enjoying that.
My prejudice is getting on the way……?
The prejudice is probably the tool of the cat-type robot.
The house looked narrow from the outside, but it was wide inside, so much as if the walls might be just wallpapers for show.
