64. Cianella’s death ceremony (1)

Princess Adelheit’s coming-of-age ceremony was held splendidly and solemnly in the large garden of the royal palace.

Many of her high priests blessed her with her divine powers.

The Royal Knights have sworn eternal allegiance to Adelheit and her royal family…

Furthermore, the King of the Kingdom of Adelheit Aicilia confirmed that Adelheit Aicilia would inherit the legitimate right of succession as her next king.

The reason is because the blood of the first king who founded the kingdom was the thickest.

I’m guessing you’re referring to the atavism we talked about at the banquet yesterday.

I focused on one story among their words of praise.

‘He is the person who inherited the blood of the ancestors who killed thousands of demons and founded the nation the thickest in history.’

Isn’t it a story that has no choice but to be interested.

It’s a world that will be destroyed by a demonic invasion, among other things.

He is the one with the thickest blood of the one who is said to have beaten the devil so well.

If the people of the Cianella family inherited the power of extinction from my ancestors, I have inherited the blood of the giant lizard that is the lord of the magic of Aicilia.

‘They’ll get involved often.’

Even now, in the current situation where devil worshipers are prevalent, if things related to the devil become more rampant, it would be nice or bad, but something to do with Adelheit would come out.

Of course, didn’t the status window inform you when you first fell into the world in this dungeon?

That the world’s will to continue will lead me to a new destiny.

In order to save the world that was once occupied by demons in the past.

A country’s princess, of course. Even if you make a connection with the country next door, the emperor of the empire, it won’t be enough.

In the end, the world’s will to continue or something. Along with the quest, Sione and Adelheit are sure to weave.

‘… Just thinking about it makes me tired.’

At the banquet yesterday, they looked at me with such suspicious eyes.

Also, after this coming-of-age ceremony, you said you would be alone.

Two days ago, due to Noah and Sione’s misunderstanding. Also yesterday, I was exhausted by Aria and Sione’s sudden rash.

Now, going one step further and going solo with the princess?

When will I ever be able to sell my son?

“Whoa… ….”

I tried to solve it with a sigh in my endless frustration.

Sione, who was watching Adelheit’s coming-of-age ceremony with me, looked at my expression and asked quietly.

“Ray, is there something wrong?”

At the sound of her voice of her Shione, I turned her head to look at her with her sneaky look.

Unlike yesterday, Shione, dressed in a light blue dress and a bright atmosphere, was showing her worried expression.

“I just took a moment to catch my breath, so don’t worry.”

“… I didn’t look good for something like that.”

Shione narrowed her eyes and tilted her head.

Shione’s hair, which was cut at the border between spring and summer, had grown a little in autumn, so the hair that was on top of her shoulder that barely touched her shoulder was fluttering as she moved her head.

What the hell did you want an answer for, why are you staring at me so persistently?

I tried to move on with only a small eye smile and no answer.

Shione starts to look at me anxiously again.

If you want to hear the answer like that.

It wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot.

“I was just thinking about Shione-nim, who was drunk yesterday.”

“Oh, that, that.”

Shione was taken aback by my words and limped.

She was momentarily embarrassed.

From noble mtl dot com

“… Forget about yesterday.”

“I will try.”

“No, don’t try and forget it.”

“If you are Shione-sama, can you forget with just one word?”

“Ugh… ….”

Shione clenched her molars and bowed her head, as if indignant.

Ainel, who was quietly looking at me and Shione, asked.

“Did something happen yesterday?”

“That is… ….”

Shione looked up at me with desperate eyes.

I think I’ll cry if I tease you any more.

The captain of the girls shouldn’t show tears recklessly.

I stopped joking around at this point.

“Because Sir Sione tripped over her own feet yesterday… I was talking about it.”

“… Perhaps you haven’t shown such an ugly appearance to anyone else.”

“Because she fell at my inn, no one other than me could see Shione-sama’s fall.”

At my words, Ai Nell glared at Sione and nodded her head.

“Unfortunately, tripping over my own feet… Sione, make sure you don’t drink alcohol while you’re staying in the capital.”

“… I will, Mother.”

After talking for a while, the princess’s coming-of-age ceremony was finally over.

The solemn atmosphere ends, and a free atmosphere begins to form.

Not to mention the key figures in the kingdom. As much as it is full of foreign ambassadors and high-class heterogeneous people.

All those who became nobles accompanied their escorts and started chatting with each other.

Ai Nell also looked around her to see if anyone was looking for her.

“I have someone I need to talk to, so let’s take a look around here together.”

“… Can’t we go together?”

This shy boss doesn’t even say a word easily even if I’m by his side.

I desperately need Ainel’s help.

Unfortunately, Ainel shook her head.

“Sorry, but I have some pretty important business to do.”

When Ainel said that he had an important business, Sione responded.

“Can I hear what you mean by important business?”

To Shione’s question, the child Nell answered while raising the corner of her mouth for some reason.

“With the help of my best friend, I finally found the last clue to becoming a master.”

“That means… Are you real?”

“If only I could reach it. Maybe soon you will be able to become the new master of the kingdom.”

Shione nodded her head as if possessed.

A gaze full of envy.

This is a natural reaction.

Because it is none other than the level of a sword master.

A knight who pulverizes enemies by pulling out a sword that is on a different level from an expert.

If you don’t envy those who have enough power to change the game of war, then who should you envy?

“It won’t take long, until then, take care of Shione. This time, Shione will never have to drink wine.”

“I will follow.”

After I bowed my head and accepted Ainel’s words, Ainel went to visit her close friend.

Shione and I started looking around the garden full of people.

Today, for some reason, Noah Veleia didn’t stick around, and no one gave a stinging look like Feira Peeosha.

Because of the relationship between them and Shione, there was no need to get exhausted.

If you have any other problems.

‘As expected, too much attention is drawn to it.’

The fact that other nobles glanced at me.

I think the sword at the waist is the cause.

If you’re going to see it, you’ll see it openly, it’s not a pervert.

To be able to walk around the garden as nonchalantly as possible, letting other people’s eyes pass by.

Shione looked at one side and spoke to me.

“Look at those pointy ears… Apparently, an elf came here.”

“You mean the elves?”

“Yes, the eastern border of the kingdom is bordered by the great forest where the elves live. It seems that you participated in the coming-of-age ceremony to promote goodwill.”

As Sione said, the elves were found on one side of the garden.

Beautiful looks that far exceed the human average, such as pointed ears.

As I was distracted by the presence of an elf I hadn’t seen in a long time, my master glanced at me and asked me quietly.

“The Elf is a race famous for being equally beautiful, both male and female… Ray, what do you think?”

“About the appearance of elves?”

The appearance of an elf…….

Certainly, their beauty is enough to make even men who are stingy with women look pale.

Unfortunately, I am not fooled by their beautiful looks.

“I have no interest in the appearance of elves.”

“Really?”

“As expected, the inside of a person is more important than the outside.”

Elves, a race steeped in the consciousness of the chosen people.

Beings who were born blessed by the spirits from birth and are born with outstanding magical abilities.

Maybe it’s because people from different races and different starting lines from birth received even a long time from God.

A forest fairy who pretends to be kind and sympathetic on the outside, but laughs and clicks her tongue on the inside.

These damned dwarf b*tches have a shady habit of enjoying the superiority of their tribe and even their own from the psychological basis.

As much as I know the nature of these perverted elves.

I answered that because I don’t place much value on the elf’s deck.

“Whoops, is that what it is?”

What else does Shione like so much?

“hehehe… ….”

She smiled quietly, shyly, as if she were a girl in love.

It seemed like I was unfolding an imaginary land that hadn’t been done again.

He said he was happy.

I didn’t mean to spoil her mood, so I just took a step back and watched her.

“By the way….”

It’s difficult for an elf to be here.

I cooled my head and looked at the elves.

One male and two females. The total number is three.

Men in this world can’t accept mana, so I don’t know what it is.

Basically, elves who know how to handle the power of the spirits can feel the energy of the spirits.

If I approach within the reach of the elves, they will be able to feel the energy of the spirits I possess.

‘Work has become annoying.’

Literally.

Race limits.

It is difficult for humans to bear the energy of spirits.

No, it is correct to assume that all races other than elves, not just humans, have difficulty handling the power of spirits.

As such, it is difficult for women who know how to handle mana unless they are elves to possess mana with spirit energy.

What if a human, and a man who is very rare to awaken mana, smells like a spirit?

‘They’re going to stick around almost unconditionally.’

It’s a strange thing to have the energy of a spirit already.

If you have enough energy to use spirit magic, it’s not even the size of a rat’s tail.

Even if you’re curious about the identity of an uncivilized, short-lived species with special powers unique to elves.

They will show you a lot of attention you don’t want.

I could see races such as beastmen and dwarves, but I didn’t see elves, so I was at ease.

It’s the first time you see an elf like this.

I feel like the expectations I had, albeit weakly, for today to be able to pass quietly have been shattered.

However, unlike my chilled out mood, Shione, who was laughing shyly by herself, must have been so curious about the elf before she knew it.

She was looking at the elf with her eyes twinkling.

“By the way, I heard that elven bows are famous for being so good… Ray, do you know?”

Asking with high expectations is not an elf’s abilities or characteristics.

To ask about the bow made by the elves.

Sooner or later, Shione has become an archer too.

I answered with a smile.

“If it’s an elven bow…… Aside from being sturdy and flexible, it’s not very good. It would be far better to use another enchanted wooden bow.”

“Um… ? So, are you saying that all the stories about elven bows that have spread around the world are lies?”

When she shook her head to deny her words, Shione even frowned at her and urged her to answer quickly.

At my master’s urging, I gave her the answer she wanted.

“As long as the user is human.”

An elven bow.

As known to the world, it is a very excellent bow.

Of course, only when the bow was handled by our superior elves.

“The reason why elven bows are strong and excellent is that they have the effect of maximizing spirit magic. That’s why elves’ bows are bound to be superior to any other weapon for elves who use spirit magic. But not us. Non-elves cannot use elemental magic except in special cases.”

“Then, why are elven bows famous? ….”

“I think it became so famous that elves spread their bows with spirit magic.”

The arrows of the elves that are fired with spirit magic are very flashy and powerful.

It wouldn’t be strange that the story of the elven bow was spreading.

Did you even imagine yourself sweeping the battlefield with an elven bow?

When the elf realized that her bow was not suitable for a human, Sione did not hide her disappointment.

I gave her a hope.

“You don’t have to be so disappointed. Because we have dwarven bows, not elven bows.”

“If it’s a dwarf… Are you referring to that dexterous tribe?”

“Of course. Who else other than them is good at crafting weapons?”

Unlike us great elves, there is a dwarf for the inferior short-lived tribe.

From noble mtl dot com

“Dwarven bows are not only durable, but also have excellent tension. Moreover, it is friendly with normal mana, so it is the best bow for a species like us humans.”

Of course, as much as I know how to handle spirit magic.

Of the elven and dwarf bows, I prefer the elven bow.

For archers with normal mana like Sione, using a Dwarven bow would be the best choice.

How did Shione know about these things? After getting her suspicious eyes once.

While I was slowly answering her curiosity, the surroundings started to growl.

Seeing what this is all about, she and Shione look around.

At some point, Shione muttered while standing still.

“Her Highness the Princess…… ?”

Why did Adelheit, who was talking with another high-ranking official, come out of Sione’s mouth?

Hide behind Shione and face the direction she is looking at.

I could see Adelheit approaching me with her purple eyes fixed on Shione.

Next, Adelheit stopped in front of me and Sione, not anyone else.

Ominously, I passed by Shione and calmly looked at her before I raised one corner of her mouth.
