Chapter 70: Black Smoke
Being royalty is very exhausting.
No
When I complained like that, it was dismissed as "a luxury problem"
The food is always cold because of the poison testing
I can't dress sloppily because someone is always watching me
More than anything else, it's hard to talk to the nobles.
If you carelessly become empathetic, they'll immediately try to use that as a reason to gain power.
And many other things.
So this trip feels so good
Everyone is equal on this journey.
I think I understand why some cases of coming of age ceremonies take years.
To be honest, that was my ulterior motive for going on foot instead of horse and carriage.
Blue sky
Rain
Under the scorching sun
Strong wind
We all laughed as we headed north under a variety of skies.
Six days into the journey
I saw a village in the distance
"Um... this is the only village around here. The sun is still high in the sky, but shall we stay here?"
Ittenhardt checked the map and made a report.
"Yes, Hibarieli. Can you talk with them?"
"Understood."
Hibarieli is in charge of money management.
Among these 7 people, he is the fastest in the calculation.
"Hmm? Quies, there's smoke coming out of the village?"
"Ah, that's true."
Smoke is rising into the sky.
"At this time of the year, when the wheat harvest is over, aren't they burning straw?"
"No, Sylvie! Wheat doesn't produce black smoke like that! The house is on fire!"
Sedona immediately noticed something unusual in the village.
"Is there a battle going on? Everyone!"
We immediately take a fighting stance
"The enemy is presumed to be a bandit. Doru, you take the front line!"
"Aye!"
"Guduri, Hibari, and Itte, assist Doru!"
"""Copy that."""
"Sylvie and Sedona..."
"As usual!"
"Leave it to me!"
