"Wait, I'm not hostile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Seeing Haruka's vigilance, Hernan raised his hands and signaled that he had no intention of attacking.
"Are you sure?!, you won't attack all of a sudden, will you?"
"I'm sorry for what the royal brother did before, and left you with bad memories, please rest assured, I just came here to see you this time. β
"Okay... Just trust you. Haruka retracted his fighting stance, and behind him, Iska and Cassiu relaxed their vigilance.
"Then please let me take you inside. Hernan said, leading the group towards the official residence of the Earl of Ulster.
"It's rude, I should have greeted you personally. As Hernan entered the mansion, he was greeted by a white-haired old man in a gown, who was the owner of the house, Earl Ulster. I saw that the luxurious antechamber was flanked by servants and maids working here, all to welcome the arrival of Haruka and his party.
"I'm sorry, I can't wait, that's why I asked to pick you up in person. Hernan said, looking at Haruka from time to time.
"Let's arrange a room for a few of us. Ulster clapped his hands, and several maids stepped forward to lead the way.
"See you later, then, several. HernΓ‘n smiled and waved at them.
Haruka also nodded politely.
Not long after he sat down in his room, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in... β
"Hey, Haruka!" the door opened, and Iskar hurried in, closing the door by the way.
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"Continuing with the previous topic, about admonishing the king of Artinia. β
"Although I didn't pour cold water on you, but for now, let's think about returning to Altinia first! And at this juncture, the two countries are at war, I think His Majesty the King may not have the energy to care about the affairs of the demons, right?"
"That's right.,Now is not the time for humans to fight among themselves.,If you don't unite against the demon invasion... But how can we get a truce between the two countries?!"
"Didn't you say that the emperor of Albania handed over all the affairs of governing the country to the eldest prince Jetton because of his advanced age, and if we have a good relationship with the third prince, we may be able to find a way to meet Jetton, and then find a way to make a truce between the two countries. β
"Things are not as simple as you think, after all, it was Artinia that started the war, and if you want the empire to stop fighting, you must let the kingdom withdraw its troops first. β
"Oh, what the hell is the war for? I don't know much about it. β
"How did you do something like you didn't know about such a big thing as a person who wasn't in this world. β
"I don't care about that... Don't worry about the details, just tell me about it. β
"I also told you before, the kingdom and the empire are two relatively large countries on this continent, and the territory of the two countries is in the middle of the continent Narmisso Plain to the junction, originally the two countries have not had any hostilities for nearly a hundred years, but a year ago, the village located on the west side of the Narmisso Plain was suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy, all the people in the village were slaughtered, and the entire village was burned. β
"Is this what the Empire did?"
"There is no evidence of who did this, but the kingdom suddenly declared war on the Empire without warning, and both countries have invested a lot of troops in the Narmisso Plain, and the war is still raging after a year of fighting. β
"Huh, just a year for such an inexplicable reason?"
"In short, the burning of the village is just an excuse for war, the kingdom suddenly hoarded heavy troops to attack the empire, but the elite dragoons do not seem to have much advantage over the empire's airship fleet, and although the empire can withstand the kingdom's attack, but after all, compared to the national strength is still inferior to the kingdom, the supply of troops can not meet the fleet's long-distance march, and the battle line cannot be dragged far away from the border, so in the end it turned into a protracted war. β
"It's really a stupid war, the demons are about to fight, and they are still doing such things. β
"Now that you have obtained the status of an imperial nobleman, then you are now unimpeded within the empire, and with the badge you got from Natalie before, there should be no problem when you go back. β
"So stay here for the night today and leave tomorrow?"
"Well, that's it, as long as you can survive this time, after returning to the kingdom... β
"Knock knockβ" Before Iska could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door.
"I'm sorry, Miss Haruka, but I'm Hernan. Outside the door, I remembered the voice of the third prince.
"Your Highness, is there something wrong?" Haruka opened the door, and Hernan saw Iska in the room.
"It turns out that Miss Haruka is chatting with your maid, am I disturbing you?"
"Oh, no, no, we just finished talking. Haruka looked at Iska, smiling and waving her hand.
"If you don't mind, can you accompany me for a walk around the city, by the way, I want to talk to you, and of course, please also ask your maid to come along. β
"Well, it's boring to stay in the room anyway, just come back before dark. β
"Then please come with me. β......
