Chapter 114: Duchy of?Lutzbergen.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
It’s the next morning after the fight with King Warm.
“? Do such things even exist…?” 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
I frowned at the information brought to me by the former king.
“There’s malice in anybody. But, this time’s thing takes hold of people with bad intentions and turns them into monsters, it seems.”
“Why did such a thing appear all of a sudden?”
“No, it’s not sudden. Do you remember that guy named Miyamoto?”
Lucia tilted her head.
“That’s right, that Miyamoto. He was pathetic but I have room for sympathy even for him. The thing is that I went to school with him.”
I see, Lucia nods.
Laara, Clarissa and Mira continue talking.
“Certainly if Masatsugu-dono is in front of them then there will be people who will be jealous of him.”
“But, Masatsugu is special so jealousy is meaningless.”
“Regardless, people’s eyes are still drawn to Shujin-sama. Therefore, those who can’t discern reason will always have a complex to Shujin-sama’s achievements!”
That’s correct, I nodded.
“I’m like the Moon. I look up to it in the Night Sky but can’t reach it. However, people look up to me. But, some people believe they can reach that moon.”
“Perhaps such is the fate of the Saviour-sama who shines like the heavens and illuminates the people.”
Silvy said that in a sad voice.
I guess she’s feeling sad for me, she realized implicitly how difficult it is for me to implement my desire to live discreetly and peacefully.
“But, I’m okay.”
“Naomi-sama?”
I replied to Silvy.
“I’m not alone. I have you girls. I’m different from King Warm and Miyamoto who chose to be alone and turned to monsters.”
“Goshujin-sama. Un, yes, it’s exactly as you say!”
Lucia smiled brightly.
That’s right, in the end this is the difference. In the end they didn’t have the companions, charisma and popularity to help them when they were cornered unlike me.
On the contrary, I took hold of everything naturally. The conclusion is that’s what led them to their downfall and got them chased and hunted by the people, while I reigned as a King and earned their respect.
There’s talent of course, but also a broad perspective and modesty to make most of it. I had the desire to improve and the desire to keep learning. If I can do it then so can they… I can’t help but feel pity for them.
Now, leaving that aside, I think more about the .
“In the future, a powerful enemy might appear due to the <>. It’s good to not drop our guard and think that it’s going to be just small fires like King Warm.”
“Yes, we’ll be careful.”
“Well then, let’s depart. Our next destination is the . From what I’ve heard there is currently a succession dispute over who will succeed the Great Muse.”
“Don’t you think you’re a bit too carefree this time?”
Elin said that.
“Maybe because it’s like this, currently.”
“?”
It seems she didn’t understand but, I am not sure either. Anyhow, I’ll understand if I go.
While having this conversation we set our destination for the Duchy of Lutzbergen. We plan to stay there for several days, then prepare again and leave. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
“This is the Duchy of Lutzbergen?”
“It’s a big city.”
Lucia said it.
“That’s right. It’s one of the most commercial cities and religious cities in Warms.”
“Naomi-sama, everyone, for the time being let’s go to the inn and unload our luggage there.”
We started moving immediately at Silvy’s words.
And then, we checked in at the inn. It’s here that we pick up food and other goods that are about to run out and then plan for departure.
At that time.
*Knock* *Knock* was someone at the door.
“Strange. I wonder who it could be, Masatsugu-sama.”
It was not unnatural for Elin to be suspicious.
I as a King am leading an expedition but I don’t like to stand out. That’s why I’ve kept it a secret from everyone else that I’ve come here.
In that case…
“An assassin sent for Shujin-sama?”
Mira tries to draw her sword,
“Wait a bit. There’s no enemy with a motive that tries to attack you as soon as you arrive at the inn. Attacking you in your sleep, in that case it’s different.”
“Certainly. As expected of Shujin-sama. I’m impressed with your intuition.”
“No, it’s good to be cautious. But, since the entering of the inn they haven’t stifled their footsteps. I don’t think such a fellow is an assassin.”
“Shujin-sama, how far have you extended your sensing range!?”
“I’ve assessed the situation from several sources of information. If you can do that then Mira will once again grow.”
“Thank you very much. I’ll continue to do my best! However, Mira is filled with intense emotions from the unexpected luck that she can receive training from Shujin-sama in this kind of place!”
“Listen, Mira. I also want to be taught by Masatsugu in different things…”
The dwarf girl Clarissa is jealous and said that while looking at Mira.
“Fu, Clarissa is studious.”
“Ehm, rather, I want to be taught different things as much as I want by Masatsugu, but… I’ll be patient.”
“?”
I think there was a hidden nuance in that but it’s good to be studious.
I caressed Clarissa’s head and she smiled happily and blushed. I don’t understand but from the surrounding girls I could hear ‘Cheater! Unfair!’.
I may have done something unconsciously again…
Well, leaving that aside.
“Welcome, King Masatsugu. I’m glad that you’re doing well and I can’t be happier than this!”
The one who opened the door and then prostrated himself is none other than the Duke of Lutzbergen.
“As I thought it was the Duke himself. To think you’d come here, and with just one attendant.”
There was a single female knight standing behind the Duke. She was dressed somewhat resembling Japanese style.
“What are you talking about! I won’t be satisfied until I’ve given you my thanks!”
“Your gratitude?”
I tilted my head from not understanding the Duke’s words.
But, the Duke once again made a bowing pose and bowed several times,
“Thank you for protecting this country, this duchy from the large demon army. Thank you very much. As a duke, I thank you on behalf of my people… No, I thank you on behalf of the people in this world. The only reason this world exists now is because of the sacred King Masatsugu!”
He turned to me with suffocating gratitude and respect and said that.
