Having had enough of detours, Al and Colin get their bearings and head down the road to the capital.

Since they have a carriage, camping is not so difficult, but it’s not that they don’t like it. They just put up with it.

At the very least, if you have a bed, you’re better off with it,……, Al thinks. Colin is tougher in this area and a bed? It’s a good thing we’re camping out. That’s his stance.

“Colin. I don’t want to camp out in the middle of nowhere. ……?

“Master Al. We’ll be in the capital in two days, you know. Rather than spending the night in a village around here, wouldn’t it be better to rest up in the capital? The peddler also said that villages around the capital will try to undercut you and charge you extra for a simple night’s stay.”

Unfortunately, there are not many large cities in the southern part of the country, which is relatively close to …… the royal capital when heading to it from the south.

To the south of the capital, there is a vast expanse of farms and countryside, and the area is regarded as the kingdom’s great food store.

However, it is mainly agricultural, and there are only a few villages in the area.

As is expected of a region that supports the food supply of a kingdom, the roads are well maintained, security is tight, and public safety is very good. The scenery is quite idyllic, but it is certainly not a particularly pleasant place for a traveler to visit.

In each village, travelers and vendors are sometimes accommodated, but it is customary that the closer the village is to the royal capital, the higher the fee.

Those passing through for food transportation do not rely on the neighboring villages, but rather travel farther to the city.

Although there is not much difference in their lives, it is said that the pride of their village is that “our village is closer to the royal capital than other places.

‘Yeah, ……! It’s like a marching drill, and I hate it already!’

“Master Al! You’re being a little too selfish! Where’s the battlefield? I don’t know. …… really ……”

Al was getting bored. Besides, it was almost the capital. A place where, like Colin, there was no one to whom he could confide like this. He would have to spend several years there. There was also the anxiety.

I have a lot to complain about in Falconer territory, but after all, everyone knows each other, and even if I don’t feel comfortable with the brainlessness of the people around me, it’s a place where I didn’t have to worry too much. Home.

At the beginning of the journey, there was a sense of liberation in being able to leave the territory, but here, the uncertainty of what lay ahead was greater. It’s like homesickness. Although Al would never admit it.

“…… Huh? What are you afraid of, Master Al? Do you want to go back to Falconer territory?”

“No, No… That’s not true!”

Easy to understand.

As Al and Colin exchanged a few cackles, the carriage moved smoothly along the well-maintained streets.
