Lesson 10: Climbing the Castle

"What the hell do you think the king is for?

Rent the Wang Du Inn and gather everyone in the room to start a consultation.

By the way, the room I rented was quite cheap to stay in the inn I'm partnering with the guild. I'm not supposed to be a base, so just being an A-rank adventurer doesn't make me cheap, but I got a discount with a single voice from Louise, the guild master.

Rented rooms are for two and three people.

I'm supposed to sleep in a three-person room, and if I stay in a two-person room with someone other than Illis, they'll definitely attack me, so I let them stay in the three-person room.

"It seems unlikely"

If this is a difficult story, Melissa will hit it.

But I don't want Melissa to get too involved just in the content of the story.

"Doesn't calling at this time mean we want to hear stories that worked in the war?"

"That's what makes sense."

"Others may have called in to monitor those with dangerous powers."

It's a little scary, but it can't be.

It was just too much to ravage 10,000 troops and leave tens of thousands.

I reflect, but I don't regret it.

"Then - in the worst case, please cut me off."

Melissa's worst case scenario was when she was asked about the murder of Prince Pesh Meticalia.

Even if the royal opponent interrogates you, if it's just us, you're confident you'll get away with it, but it's hard to keep your family safe. Also, it is mentally tiring to keep running away forever. Of course it's nasi to deal with the country just because it's hostile.

That's where I say you can lay your sins on one of you.

In fact, Melissa is destroying only 500 Imperial Army soldiers in the war, so if it's enough to make you think it's not bitter enough to destroy nearly 300 bandits, it's going to work out depending on how you talk.

But you can't admit it.

"Want."

Decopin Melissa's forehead.

I'm gonna hold my forehead and look at this one in tears, but I'm not impatient enough.

I was going to slap him gently to be careful, but it seemed to hurt a lot.

"I told you before, 'Nobody's going to abandon you'. Even if it was an option for everyone else to be helped by someone else being sacrificed among us, I would continue to explore options that would help everyone to the end. It's like sacrificing your people too - I forbid you to choose the kind of options that cost you yourself."

"But because I acted emotionally at that time..."

"It doesn't matter"

Indeed, the response to Prince Pesh does not seem to be Melissa.

It may be resented by Prince Pesh himself and his surroundings for collecting evidence that he could not escape, for example, to hunt Prince Pesh down politically, but it was the safest way to do so if you think about the later.

But Melissa's emotions didn't allow it.

It was likely that Prince Pesh's sin, with the rear shield of royalty, would be made naughty if he were to be hunted down politically.

That was unacceptable to Melissa.

So Melissa didn't object in any way when she suggested disposing of the third prince as a bandit.

"I talked to you about what you did back then, and I suggested we go out with each other more than once."

I consider that to be my main role.

"Uh... good night!

I usually don't show it. I go back to the next room in a hurry.

I'm not opposed to resting early because I'm supposed to pick you up early in the morning.

"Then I will return to my room too"

"Melissa, please."

Melissa's emotions are unstable because the royalty has become involved.

This is Blaine at our party, so I want you to come to the discussion calmly.

"Yes, I would like to follow up as much as I can"

Melissa and Sylvia in the same room return to their room.

Me and Ira, Iris, will be left in the room. I chose to be in the same room with these two because I was more than likely not attacked.

In the end, they attacked me.

It was caused by the fact that Ira's hand was to teach Britain how to strike the Lord in action.

Sylvia and Melissa, who were also resting in the next room, are all taken for breakfast in the inn dining room. The menu consists of corn soup, homemade salad and soft bread. It helps because I'm not strong enough to eat heavy food in the morning.

"Damn, aren't you nervous about seeing me with the king today?

"I'm still nervous about this."

Ira answers in an unusual way.

You don't look very nervous.

"Neither does the story go smoothly where I'm nervous. Mars and Melissa are going to talk to the king. Me and Sylvia will always be on guard to see if there are any enemies in the Royal Castle."

If that's the case...... no, I was convinced but it hasn't been a reason to get attacked.

"True indeed, but I am unhappy to be treated the same way"

Sylvia expresses her dissatisfaction while sipping the soup served for breakfast.

"What. You're actually right."

"I don't want you to be with someone who can only fight."

"All right, if you say so much, let's fight."

"I will stop the battle during the meal because it will be dusty"

Ira is getting more and more mucky because of that way of saying it.

But I don't even remember Sylvia saying something when she talked to Count Alistair or when she talked to the Alliance Master.

Perhaps Ira won't actively participate because it's troublesome talking to someone in power, but Sylvia is simply nervous and worried about being like a maid as usual from herself.

Well, from what I've said, I'm pretty sure the story will be centered on me and Melissa.

However, I can't rely on Melissa today.

"Ha..."

He exhales and looks depressed.

After all, he's concerned that he might be called to the royal castle because of himself. According to Sylvia, who slept in the same room, she didn't sleep very well.

It's unusual for Melissa to be tough on self-management as well.

"So, the other person I can count on..."

"Ha."

When I turned my gaze, I shyly covered my face with both hands.

"Wasn't it early, after all?

"Really?"

Ira tilts her neck, but don't think of you carnivores as a criterion.

Iris was either ashamed or useless of what happened to him yesterday that he had deflowered.

"Um, may I?"

One knight walked into the dining room as he relaxed for breakfast in the dining room of the inn.

Apparently, he's picked me up.

"Excuse me. Have I kept you waiting?

"No, it's helpful because you also responded to a sudden call"

Anyway, for a knight, someone with a low back came.

The knight who picked me up is a little older than us and his face is younger than his brother, so I guess the knight is a knight or a knight apprentice or something. Even though I did an unusual rank up because I'm new, I can make you do the chore of calling adventurers.

We'll spend plenty of time on breakfast before we get ready to head to the royal castle.

Nothing. I didn't get the royal castle to tell me what time to come. I want you to say that Wagamama is enough to act slowly because he responds to a sudden summons.

"I will now take you to the table as I will wait for the carriage"

The waited knight leads us to the carriage where he came without complaining.

Head to the royal castle rocked by a carriage.

The lodging we stayed in was in a civilian neighborhood, and we needed to pass through the aristocratic district in the heart of the Wang capital in order to get to the Royal Castle. There is a blockage between the civilian and aristocratic districts, with strict checks on people coming and going. However, I was allowed to go straight because I was riding the carriage used in Royal Castle.

When he arrives at the royal castle, a man in butler's clothes accompanies him, adding not only the knight who picks him up at the inn, but also three more knights to guard him beside him.

Even though how much is called to the king, isn't it too harsh?

'Okay. This is not our security'

'What do you mean?

'Their job is not to "protect us," it's to "protect us from us."

Does that mean you're dangerously monitoring adventurers who can play an active part in the war of what the King called you to do?

Then I'm also convinced of the attitude of the knights in the inn.

Maybe it's true that he's new, but he instinctively got a bad attitude because he was afraid of us.

"Please come in here"

It was a salon-like room that was guided by a butler.

Sit in a chair in front of a table set in the center of the room. The conductor's butler takes tea out in front of us in a tedious move.

"There's the Lord"

A magnificent man comes in from a door in the back of a room separate from the one we came in, bringing in a youngster in his late twenties, so he rises from the chair.

Never seen it, but perhaps a magnificent man is the king of the kingdom of Metis - Patrick Meticalia.

"Nice to meet you. I am the king's Patrick Meticalia. Next door is first prince Randolph. You were listening to me beforehand, but you're really young."

I have a niggardly grin that King Patrick won't let me think about my age.

"Just sit down. I called you today because I wanted to talk to you about a request I wanted to ask of you, who are also adventurers. More than six months ago, when I stopped by Wang Capital, I heard you exorcised the bandits."

Apparently, the king's business is the worst Melissa ever expected.
