112 – Leonard Liantour – (2)

“Whoa.”

I admired the scenery outside the window.

“It’s spectacular.”

The scenery of Middendale, where they arrived shortly after, was different from Sigrun and Eldua, the capital of Lumenel.

In reality, the maglev train wagon was floating with magical power, and the airship was flying leisurely in the sky. Above it, firecrackers made of magic continuously floated phrases presumed to be advertisements.

It was a different look for me, who had only seen the scenery of the classic fantasy world for over half a year after being possessed.

And I knew very well the words that would describe this splendid sight.

“Is it arcane punk?”

Arcanepunk.

A term that refers to a civilization with advanced sorcery engineering.

To be honest, I’ve never really enjoyed it, but I don’t think that feeling is the same. It didn’t seem like a normal fantasy world anyway.

Saira’s words, the source of magic, finally came to me. Here, High Linx was literally living a life of becoming one with Mana. In Sigrun, horse-powered carriages were moving, but here in Highlings, maglev trains were moving. It couldn’t have been a huge civilization gap.

‘That’s amazing.’

He recited an exclamation in his heart.

As I was looking outside through the wide windows leading to the hallway of the castle in Middendale, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

When I turned around, there was a girl with golden hair smiling with a smile.

It was Seira.

“Now, Mr. Fried, come over here.”

As soon as Seira returned to her castle, she was guiding me around with a smile on her eyes as if she had returned to her own home.

She couldn’t even say anything because she was right about her house.

Lyn Sia was almost locked in her VIP room with a dissatisfied expression, and Yuria was dragged and held in Seira’s room. Yuria’s expression, which was making her cry, was still good.

And I, no different from chaff, was dragged by Seira’s hand to a remote hallway in the castle.

“…… Do you think?”

“Yes, yes.”

So I followed Seira’s guidance and reached the room at the end of the hallway.

The place I arrived at was a rather simple room, unlike the atmosphere of the castle.

Seira put her hand on my shoulder and gave her a long nod.

“I think Fried-kun can stay here. No, I must stay here. If there is anything uncomfortable, call the attendant at any time.”

“…… Hey, can I ask one question?”

“No?”

Ignoring Seira’s words, she asked.

“Who originally occupied this room?”

I looked around. The room I entered had a sense of use. Unlike the VIP room where Lincia stayed, it was clearly a room that someone had used.

So that was the question I asked.

However.

“Ummm… …. Well? I don’t know either~? Maybe it wasn’t a servant’s accommodation? By all means! I hope you are comfortable, ahahahahaha!”

Seira left her seat after talking nonsense, and she was left alone.

“Um.”

Seeing Seira’s subtle reaction gave me a sense of curiosity that I didn’t have before.

First, I opened the book on the table. The content of the book was a basic book related to mana management, which I tried to read in the Imperial Library, but failed every time.

And when I opened the cupboard, there was a neatly arranged set of tea cups. It seemed that the owner of the room had quite noble hobbies.

Finally, when I opened the desk drawer, I was able to guess the owner of the room.

“Huh.”

What I took out of the drawer was a diary. And as soon as I saw the word ‘Milia’ clearly written on the cover, a smile was automatically drawn on my lips.

It was a diary that Millia wrote when she was little.

In other words, this room I was standing in was Miria’s old room.

Milia was also the daughter of Liantur. It wouldn’t be strange to have a private room in the castle of Middendale, the capital of Highlinx.

“…… Even if it’s three, it’s true.”

Do something useless.

As soon as I opened the bookshelf while chanting like that, I saw the letters that young Millia must have written with sweat and sweat.

Most of it was about the expectations of her sister and her father. It is a truly unique story about trying not to fall behind her sister and not becoming a burden to her father.

However, at this point, it was ironic that Milia, Sayra, and Leonard were walking separate paths.

“… ….”

I closed the diary in no time.

It was not a good thing to gossip about other people’s family affairs.

As soon as I put the diary in the drawer and touched the door, there was a knock at the door outside.

As soon as I opened the door, the blonde-haired attendant conveyed the business to me with her head bowed.

“Sorry if you’ve been busy. But that…… This is a call from the woman who came with me.”

“Yes.”

Nodding his head, the attendant left as if running away.

I moved on that way.

It was a call from Bonama and Lincia.

*

When I went to visit Lin Xia, who was staying in her VIP room, she puffed out her cheeks with a very unpleasant expression.

“Your Majesty, have you called?”

I called, but Lynxia was still staring at the sky outside her window with a disapproving expression.

After a while, Lin Xia let out a breath and turned her head towards me.

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“Come in first. Because the days are chilly.”

“Yes.”

I stood up straight in front of Lincia.

Then she leaned against my chest as if she was about to collapse.

Unable to overcome her weight, I backed away and sat down on her sofa as if collapsing, and Lin Xia was hugged in my arms with a dissatisfied expression.

From noble mtl dot com

After waiting for her to hold her by the shoulders for several minutes, Xia Lin opened her mouth.

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“Looks like no one treats me like an empress. Edwindo, Araniondo, and lastly the golden prince Lianturdo. You must be looking at me funny. It’s a young empress I will not be able to do my job.”

“… ….”

Anyway, it seemed that he was still thinking about what happened during the day.

Well, the attitude of Archduke Liantur during the day must have been something that Lynthia couldn’t tolerate.

“Am I really not good enough to become an emperor… ….”

There was even a bit of lamentation in the words he spewed out quietly.

There was a strange rebuke mixed in that staring gaze. So, I shook my head vigorously.

“No. Absolutely not.”

“…… Is that so.”

“Yes.”

With that confirmation, Lynxia’s eyes bent as she looked up at her.

Then he stabbed me in the chest with a slightly playful voice.

“Really? Then what does Fried think of me?”

“Of course, I think he is a decent emperor.”

“…… Hmm.”

Her nasal voice lengthened, and Lynxia smiled at her.

The corner of his mouth twitched. It seemed that he had a very pleasant thought.

“Could you be a little clearer? What does Fried think of me?”

“… ….”

I don’t know why the topic is like this.

As I was hesitating, Xia Lin poked her in the chest again.

“What do you think?”

“…… A proper empress…….”

“Not that.”

Lynxia grabbed my sleeve and licked her lips.

In the dark room, strange green eyes twinkled in the dim light.

I ask the old woman.

“Have you been drinking… ….”

“No. Because I didn’t do that.”

I sighed and got a small chestnut stuck in my crown.

In front of her eyes was the thin-eyed Lynxia.

She finally answers reluctantly.

“Your Majesty is a very important person to me.”

“That, as an empress?”

“Um… ….”

“Answer me truthfully.”

“…… Of course, His Majesty is very precious to me as a single person, Lynchia Ayren.”

When she finally told the truth, Xia Lin smiled bashfully as if she had finally been caught.

Instantly, Lyncia’s small hand, which grabbed me by the collar, gained strength.

“Then, isn’t it okay to call me comfortably?”

“Your Majesty, what the hell is that…….”

When I asked again because I didn’t know her English, Xia Lin put her index finger out and put it on her lips.

“Lyncia.”

“Yes?”

“Not Your Majesty, Lincia.”

Lin Xia continued to touch my lips, then she said.

“Instead of the polite title of Your Majesty, please call me Lincia. My name is Lynthia Hodier Eyrn.”

“…… But.”

No matter how much it is, there is no way that the blasphemy of calling the lord’s name as it is is allowed.

I said it with that thought in mind, but the strength of Lynxia’s fingers pressing her lips grew even stronger.

“Of course, I don’t mean to call you that normally.”

“Then… ….”

“When it’s just the two of us, I call her Lincia. All right?”

“… ….”

“Do you understand?”

When asked in an interrogative way, I blankly nodded to her.

Only then did Lyncia take her index finger away from my lips as if she was satisfied, and pushed her slender body, which had been supported in my arms, even harder.

“Could you please call me?”

“… ….”

“Come on.”

Lyncia urged.

At first, I wondered if her hair was messed up because of the long journey. She thought she might have been drinking, but there was no bottle to be seen anywhere in her room.

Right now, Lincia meant that she was extremely sober.

Moreover, since Lin Xia’s expression was more serious than anyone else’s, I had no choice but to shut her mouth.

In the end, Lin Xia put her name in her mouth as she wished.

“Lyncia.”

“…… Flaw.”

As soon as she heard my words, Lincia laughed heartily.

Then she raised her finger.

“One more time.”

“… ….”

“Quickly.”

“Lyncia.”

As soon as she heard that, Lynxia trembled.

“…… hehehe. Just one more time.”

“…… Your majesty.”

“Come on!”

“…… Ha. Lyncia.”

“Yes!.”

At her last words, Lynxia smiled brightly, and she leaned into my arms.

Of course, it was to death for her and me.

Why is this empress doing this?
