114 – Leonard Liantour – (4)

The next morning, when the sun was just rising, we secretly left the palace.

No particular problems arose during this process. It was because of the early morning time. It was partly because I, Lincia, and Yuria thoroughly hid their identities and entered the palace in the first place, and above all, it was because of the strong backing of Grand Duchess Seira Liantour.

Now that the golden prince’s aid has been frustrated, we can join forces to stop the apostles.

As soon as she explained her plan to Seira, she readily agreed, and perhaps thanks to her breath, the gatekeeper opened the way easily.

As soon as she confirmed that the person in front of her was Grand Duchess Seira Lian Tour, her eyes widened to the size of the gate and the gatekeeper panicked, and she felt a little pity. In a way, it was as if the division commander, or rather the corps commander, had appeared while on duty at the post.

I knocked down the gatekeeper when I left Sigrun the other day.

You get hit here and there, and the gatekeeper is really having a hard time.

That’s how it is now.

We were thrown into the streets of Middendale, the capital of the High Linx.

“Awesome.”

“I told you. High Linx is said to be the source of magic. Besides, since it’s the capital, Middendale, of course it has to be great.”

Standing tall in the middle of it, I looked around and marveled.

Then Seira patted me on the shoulder and agreed.

Looking at the city through the castle window was also quite spectacular, but seeing it up close was indescribable.

The scenery of arcane punk that I only saw in games or movies was right in front of my eyes.

A magical levitation train passed along the rails floating in the air, and instead of the shabby magic lights, artificial stars with a blindingly bright light were floating in the sky. Even a small package was flying through the air, flying to passers-by and selling newspapers.

The scenery of the street is clearly different from Sigrun, which was an authentic fantasy. It was to the point where I wondered if the world I lived in was different.

Both Lyncia and YuRia had their mouths wide open at the sight they were seeing for the first time.

“… ….”

A few minutes to admire Middendale’s overwhelming magic engineering.

Soon, we ran into another problem.

“But what do I do now?”

After grasping the situation, Yuria cautiously asked like an orangutan.

At that, I shrugged.

“…… I know.”

Stop Phaedras’ conspiracy. However, Leonard does not come out cooperatively. That’s why we try to do something together. This was the decision we made.

I recklessly escaped the castle. But none of the details were planned.

In fact, the situation has been blown away.

“I think I need help, but it seems difficult to borrow the hand of the Grand Duke of Gold.”

“I guess so. It’s because my father is more stubborn than I thought. It’s great that she resembles Lia, but she doesn’t like to be interfered with.”

“That said, it seems that Phaedras’ sphere of influence is quite wide for us to investigate on our own.”

“Yes. That’s the problem Even if Wigg and I fly to investigate, we won’t be able to look around the whole of High Linx.”

From what I’ve heard, it seems that the Apostle has made repairs to almost all the gateways in High Linx.

As expected, the number of heads is too low to solve by oneself.

The Grand Duke of Gold, who will solve this problem, is sticking to the mindset of Dok-Go-Dai.

“It’s a total mess.”

What can we do together in a remote area where we don’t know anyone?

At the moment of perplexity, Seira clapped her hands as if she had a good idea.

“There is one person I could turn to for help. Someone who won’t fall outside my father’s eyes and who will keep the secret.”

“Who is that?”

When I asked, Seira smiled silently. The look on her face was startlingly sinister, and goose bumps ran down her spine.

When Seira made that expression, something unusual would usually happen.

Then she opened her arms wide and began her explanation.

“As older sisters have said, isn’t High Lynx a magician’s paradise? That’s why many wizards are setting up camp here and focusing on magic research. There are so many high-level wizards. Of course, not as much as me.”

The way she raised her chin and praised herself was strangely upsetting.

Like it or not, Seira snapped her finger and continued her words.

“And one of them owed me a pretty big debt a long time ago. He’s going to collect that debt now. Of course, on the condition that you keep quiet about my father.”

“Whoa. What kind of debt is it?”

“It’s a little long to say. Anyway, there is such a thing. There was an incident that could have turned the whole of High Linx upside down, but it was covered.”

Seira didn’t seem to have the heart to answer even if she inquired further.

I gave up and said.

“But is one mage enough? Shouldn’t you be traveling all over High Linx?”

“Yes. Doesn’t care. He’s a pretty influential person in this town.”

Seira opened her sinister grin to the corners of her mouth.

She then pointed her hand towards her north.

“There is a white magic tower in the north of High Linx. It’s a place you can reach by riding a horse for about two days. The wizard I know is right there. So you have to go north first. It might be dangerous because the road is a bit steep.”

“Then…… , I have to prepare for a trip here today.”

“Yes. Yes.”

Like the last trip to Lumen-El, it seemed necessary to prepare well.

I used my experience the other day to select the necessary items.

And.

“Ugh. Then what shall I do?”

Lyn Xia was crying as she touched the skirt she was wearing.

While she was staying at her castle, she was wearing a dress that Seira, who was similar in size to her, readily gave her, and this was also quite fancy. Her pure white dress reflected all the light, and the dangling decorations were enough to attract attention.

Even as Middendale is a densely populated city, rumors will spread far and wide.

“That is also true. Your eyes are so drawn to me.”

Seira wrapped her arms around Yuria’s shoulders with her embarrassed expression. After watching her for several days, it felt like Seira was using her Yuria as a doll for her.

Yuria, who had become a pillow for her to sleep in, distorted her face.

“As expected, disguise…… Should do.”

“…… Her.”

Saira said cautiously.

Then there was a chilly silence.

Everyone in this place remembered the appearance of Lynxia as she disguised herself a while ago.

“…… Everyone, why are their faces like that?”

“Your Majesty knows best, right?”

“It’s too much, really.”

Only Lyncia stood up and protested as if dissatisfied, but no one agreed with her words.

What, what should I do?

Lyncia’s disguise didn’t suit her that much.

*

“Oh, how is it?”

“…… Uh huh?”

But when I saw Lynxia standing in front of us a few hours later with her disguise finished, I couldn’t help but withdraw her words she had just thrown out.

Lyncia’s disguise was amazing. In a good way, of course.

Today’s coordinator, Seira, seemed to have pinpointed the cause of the previous failure.

After going through Lyncia from head to toe, I asked in amazement.

“Your Majesty, were you actually a man?”

“Fried, are you sure?”

“…… Sorry.”

However, such words were inevitable. In fact, Yuria was also opening her mouth wide at her absurdity.

From noble mtl dot com

“What about me as a male lead?”

Lyncia was dressed as a man.

A shirt with wide-legged trousers and the front seam tightly tied up. Platinum-colored hair tucked inside her clothes to make it look bobbed.

Sleek lines and small body. At first glance, it seemed that the nobility that could not be hidden was buried in the slender shape.

Unlike her last disguise, which was just trying to hide her identity, Lin Xia was openly showing off her own charm. The problem is that the direction has gone a little, no, a lot.

The current Lyncia was, in fact, a peerless handsome boy.

“…… Hey, Mr. Fried.”

Saira called me with an ecstatic expression.

Her arms twitched as if she were about to reach out for Lynxia at any moment.

“Why is that?”

“I think I’m going to open my eyes to the forbidden area. Shouldn’t you be patient?”

“At that time, I will definitely cut it.”

“Ugh, uhhh.”

Seira said with a smile on her lips, and I decided to ignore it.

I’m still a strange person, but I want to refrain from risky tastes here.

“So, how is it, Fried?”

Lin Xia grabbed my sleeve and looked up at her with a sidelong glance.

I averted my gaze.

The appearance of Lyncia, dressed up to that extent, boasted considerable destructive power.

“It really suits you.”

In the end, I could only say this.

Lin Xia listened to me and her eyes lit up. She then blushed slightly, then lowered her head and began to twist her bangs.

“…… Thank you.”

“… ….”

Since she dressed as a man, she looked better. How did she end up eating it?
