Herscherik

It was not until about a week after the incident that I stood in Wang Capital for the home of Nanny Merriam.

Kro told me that the fruit shop couple were worried as they prepared to go out, and Hershelik had a rushed week to show his face in the castle town as well.

The fruit shop couple rejoiced like my child that Hersheyrik was safe. Of course, the husband was still more heartless, but with his big hand, he stroked Hershelik's head with me.

Asked why he couldn't come, Louis said he rested just in case he had a headache, slight fever and dizziness, and his husband was somehow offered a bear stuffed animal.

Hershelik, who saw her husband giving it to her with a little red ear while receiving the sweets and stuffed animals offered, said, "Oh, you've been hit by this gap adoration!" I sympathized with Louis.

And the marching formation of a line of princes finished prepping was a carriage in front of which Hershelik would ride and a carriage with Meliá and luggage on the back.

It is the unit of a total of twenty-five elite Kingsguard knights of the country, including the owner of the car, headed by the head of the Kingsguard Knights unit, who serves as the royal guard of the front, rear, left and right.

One prince in that protected carriage distorted the face of an adorable angel in agony.

"Cro, are you still not there?

Hershelik asks weakly the lead butler Schwartz Kro, who rides the same carriage.

Crowe sighed at such a Lord's appearance and replied with a depressing look, even though he was subordinate.

"Hershey, I've heard the same thing long enough. You know it's still going to take a week.

The itinerary to Nanny Merriam's hometown is scheduled for two weeks at her leisure. But only half of them have come.

"Ugh, the clo is cold. And disgusting.

Hershelik nodded his face in the stacked cushion when he said so.

"Why are you shaking so much……………………"

"It's a carriage.

Cro turns Hershelik's weak voice into one with a blade of words.

Currently, he was in a car sickness, which was supposed to be the most noble position in the march.

(Sure, I was vulnerable to a ride called Vehicle even before I was reincarnated...)

Always get drunk if you get in a car you don't drive. Trains and Shinkansen are also drunk. What else is a screaming machine? When traveling long distances, the only way to defend himself was to set his phone's alarm the moment he rode it and travel to the world of his dreams.

But that means of self-defense was also difficult in the carriage going on unpaved roads.

"Hershey, look at the water.

"Thanks..."

Crowe offers a water bottle. Hershelik gratefully received the water bottle while thanking the lead butler who would take care of him while saying something.

Hershelik was surprised at a number of things when Crowe became the lead butler and took care of him around him.

From table manners to conversational manners to clerical work to protective arts, Khlo was perfected, as usual, and by anyone.

"Well, it's not just my job to sneak in.

His answer when you accidentally asked too perfect a butler. I mean, sneaking into the middle of the night wasn't the job of a secret detective in his place.

If it's an aristocratic hall, send a servant, if it's a coffee shop, and gather information by becoming a male whore in a whorehouse if necessary. It was his job to blend into the scene and behave naturally, manipulate the conversation and ask for information.

Of course, because of the rough work, the arm is extraordinarily stronger than the ruined doors there. Maybe stronger than the Kingsguard knight we're escorting now, Hershelik predicts.

It is his job so far to use every technique to accomplish the request, and it will be because he has accomplished that request that he exists today.

(What a high spec............)

Hershelik thinks while squatting on a loaded cushion.

People around me other than myself are too high spec. Why is there nothing for me? Hershelik couldn't help but feel defeated when he came to the world several times.

A week plagued by his helplessness and wagon sickness, Hershelik set foot in Merriam's homeland and the territory of the former Count of Luceria.

"Welcome aboard, Your Highness Hershelik!

It was in the evening that I arrived at my destination.

During the evening, he was greeted in front of the Lords' Hall by Count Ten Grimm and his servants, including the former Lords. The sight of servants working in the mansion aligning themselves in front of the hall and lowering their heads at the same angle, except Count Grimm, is rolling.

Still, Count Grimm had a presence.

The costume would be of the finest kind. The fur was woven with a gold and silver gemstone ring on the finger and a little more around the belly than the last time I saw it. My skin was crunchy because I was living a good life, and then my head seemed thinner than the last time I saw it.

(I wish I was more bald.

Without even taking a bite of what he thought, Hershelik floats the perfect prince smile.

"Count Grimm, thank you for responding even though this is a sudden visit.

To that adorable smile, servants aligned behind him sighed, not only women, but men as well.

"No, no, no. It would have been hard on the road. Weren't there demons?

To Grimm, who speaks with concern, Hershelik answers the smile with an uneasy expression.

"I ran into him several times. I've never seen it before.

In the course of a two-week journey, demons...... were attacked on the road by an animal with magic and a maddening presence. The demon I saw peeking through the carriage window was like a certain horror game and very scary.

The demon I met at that time was a wolf-shaped demon, but my eyes glistened suspiciously bloody on my black hair, and my body length was slightly over my height. Crowe told me that thanks to the magic power captured, the demon's physique and physical abilities have evolved remarkably compared to wild animals.

They try to prey on those with stronger magic to strengthen their bodies and strengthen their magic. The Knights of the country regularly send their demonic crusade troops to various locations, or local lords hire mercenaries to crusade, in order to target people with their own powers.

Even so, the demonic intelligence is no different from that of the wild, and not as threatening as herding. Sometimes a strong demon...... some beings are called warcraft, but for humans it's like exterminating a vermin.

The herd of demons that attacked Hershelik's line had also been quickly defeated, not by the enemies of the Kingsguard knights. But when I think about what happened after that, Hershelik feels sick.

(It doesn't turn out to be light and disappear like a game, after all.

Hershelik is sick and tired of remembering that sight.

The knights had thrown down the demons they had defeated at the edge of the road and in the woods, but they were grotesque like some sort of horror game.

Ryoko was a severe gamer in his previous life, but the only horror game he didn't get his hands on.

I did it reluctantly when I was previously recommended, but that day's dream was a double scary nightmare of a skeleton soldier coming after me with a weapon and a bill.

By the way, the bill was so specific that when I checked with the company the next day, I forgot to pay it, so I got it for the rest of my life, but Ryoko doesn't want to thank the horror game or the skeleton.

"I was surprised because I had never seen it in Wang Du.

"You will, you will. Your Highness is safe, more importantly. It's late today. You must be tired, so rest now that we have a separate residence for you.

Yes, what Grimm pointed to was the hilltop building up ahead through the woods.

"The Kingsguard knights, too. We prepared a fine feast at night. I'll be ready around 6: 00. Please come to the dining room.

"It's six o'clock.

Hershelik takes the pocket watch out of his pocket and checks the time. I had just gone around four o'clock.

"Then I'll send my nanny home first. Time will come......... Count?

Looking at the unresponsive Count, the Count looked different and blue.

Hershelik tilts his neck at the complexion that changed in an instant, as if it were a litmus paper.

"What is it?

"Yes, no! Nothing, welcome aboard!

While questioning him for his hasty fix, Hershelik signals Crowe with his gaze.

He is gracefully thankful when he smiles just because he understands, and immediately talks to the Commander of the Kingsguard Knights Squad, preparing him to send a carriage loaded with half of the Knights and the Prince's luggage to a separate residence.

And when he's ready, he carries Hershey and Meliá, and he rents a horse from a knight.

Riding the horse was also vivid and noisy by the servants of Count Grimm in a different way than Hershelik. Of course, it was exclusively for women in the case of Kro.

The carriage moves out, and the view of the windows extends to private houses and fields.

There was just very little crowd. And even though autumn was still in the middle of nowhere, the fields had little fruit and a killing landscape.

"Merliah, is the harvest around here over?

Hershelik speaks unchanged to the nanny who has been at random since the last incident.

"… no, it is still the time for wheat and other harvests, but my parents have heard that the climate is not good this year either.

This meant that what could already be harvested was over.

If you ask me more, the storm flooded the river and pushed the fields away in the early summer of this year, and I wondered if summer would last for days when it wouldn't rain.

The damage would not have been as much had it been cured, but that Earl neglected to do so.

Originally skinny land. Harvests are smaller than elsewhere, and we knew this would happen visibly if controls were not in place.

Hershelik recalls the materials here that he examined in the royal castle by the time he got here.

Indeed, it was inactive and no tax revenues were expected and subsidies should have been paid by the State. But when I saw the lord's luxury, it didn't seem like it was being used correctly. More importantly, lords should have stockpiles, etc. to deal with such things. Originally, subsidies were paid by the State to areas hit by catastrophes.

"Master Hershelik?

Merliah unsettles hershelik, who becomes a more and more rugged face. He rushed to make Merliah feel at ease and misled the occasion.

The Meliá family was like a grand farm that brought together the farmers around. The house is also inferior compared to the lord's house, but it is quite a large house.

I guess I already had news, that Merliah's parents were standing in front of the front door when the carriage got home. You must be struggling. Your body was thin, the opposite of that Count.

"Your Highness, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to my daughter and relatives this time.

Parents bow their heads to Hershelik who got off the carriage so briefly that his body is likely to break.

They would already know the circumstances, they seemed to think that it was thanks to the prince that the daughter who did the great thing came back alive.

To his sudden apology, Hershelik hurriedly looked around, but thanks to Crowe's distraction and patrol of the Kingsguard knights, he was not asked what was going on, and grated his chest.

"Um... Me, I'm cold, so can I go inside?

Hershelik shudders deliberately.

Originally my family would have proceeded, but I cared about my parents' body, which seemed to go all the way down to the dugout under this cold sky as it was.

Settle into a living room with a fireplace and listen to your parents.

Apparently, Merriam's cousins told Merriam's parents and apologized for what they did, what they tried to do, and Hershelik as soon as they escaped from the king's capital.

"Your Highness, if you need to punish me, it's all my responsibility to supervise. Please forgive the young ones. You're right.

To Meliá's father, who bowed his head deeply again, Hershelik shook his head sideways. They seemed to misconstrue that they had come all this way to punish me.

"I'm not here because you guys, of course, wanted to punish them. Because they have asked for help, until they came to perform royal duties...... it would have been difficult since the death of Count Luzeria.

So Hershelik showed them Silver Komi's pocket watch.

And when they saw it, they marveled and wept in their eyes. That alone showed how admired Count Luceria was by them.

"I'm sorry I made you feel so hard. Be sure, I'll do something about it.

Saying so and smiling at Hershelik, they nodded again and again without words.

For the first time on this journey, Hershelik saw a town other than Castle Town.

Considering the prince's identity and physical condition, he tried to accommodate him in town as much as he could. While Hersheerik's welcome at the beginning of his journey was a preoccupation, he had other concerns.

Certainly the first people to go were ostensibly welcome.

But those eyes are frightening. And a cold gaze like contempt.

I felt that the gaze that was directed at me was like an assessment that they were directed at the country, at the royalty.

(Not like this.

The couple in front of us, the Merriams, and the people who have turned a cold glance, realized that the country was supposed to protect it.

Their mourning never reaches the royal castle. That's all because someone is blocking me. Someone is a lord, an official, or a nobleman --a party of ministers.

They cleverly hide their evil deeds and try to protect their interests.

The kingdom is for the people, and the nation that cares about the people will prosper, and the country that despises the people will perish.

Knowing that regaining the trust of the people was not enough in the words of misery, it was heavy on Hershelik's chest.
