Chapter 352. The purpose is only sightseeing (4) After that, we visited various places and enjoyed and watched their life.
Visit the city of elves made entirely of flowers and leaves.
I went to the city of birds built on a huge tree and looked around.
common sense of tribal culture. All of this makes a space that is small or significantly different from the world we have lived in so far, and that alone makes it a different experience.
It is a rare experience to be able to experience all of them.
The chance to see it in life is not so many, no matter what status or wealth.
So, I hope everyone enjoyed this trip.
The day Arel’s travel schedule was over and they returned to the capital to take a breather.
Hetia, the queen of Kelia, was receiving a direct report from Ella.
“Yeah… It seems that he came back without any problems.”
“yes.”
“Are they not dissatisfied with your guidance?”
“It didn’t seem like that…. First of all, it seems to me.”
Ella slightly blurted out that point.
It was because it was impossible to assert only with one’s own objective judgment.
Although, according to the order, Arel was ordered to faithfully guide him so that he would not regret it.
Even if you do your best, there is no law that says it’s the best.
“If it’s lacking, it’s my fault.”
“no. Ella, you have worked hard enough. He wouldn’t be the type to lie in that respect. If you look satisfied, that would be it.”
“???? but.”
Hearing the Queen’s encouragement, Ella used a slightly ambiguous expression.
“What is it? Let me tell you.”
“For some reason, the customer seems to have reacted strangely every time he visited each city.”
“Hmm… well, that was something I was fully expecting. Please don’t mind.”
When it was an expected reaction, Ella couldn’t help but look a little surprised.
“Could it be on purpose?”
“…Exactly not me. It was the teacher’s own suggestion…
‘He’ll be surprised if you show it.’ What did you say?”
indeed.”
Ella quietly understood.
A person who added wisdom to their development after Kelia’s unification.
The Queen’s teacher and a genius called the Sage.
Few have seen the reality.
Ella is also one of the few people who works as the queen’s hand in this castle and knows the existence of her teacher.
So I have no choice but to understand.
“Then from the beginning…. this trip is
like, “So what are you going to hide? It is what the teacher suggested. I don’t think Arel would accept it without hesitation. Actually, I was also a little surprised, what was it?”
Well, there’s nothing wrong with Kelly’s point of view.
It is meaningful to show Arel the good shape and development of their country.
“Isn’t that what the Queen also wanted?”
“Of course.”
The Queen nodded broadly.
“Isn’t his visit this time meaningful for the development of relations with humans?”
The Queen has insisted on human trade with the country ever since the unification of Kelia.
At first, people around them opposed it, but they managed to calm them down or push them forward.
Even if it wasn’t for the teacher’s advice, the queen would have tried to invite Arel at least once.
As much as that, this trip with Arell and his girls has a symbolic meaning from Kelly’s point of view.
It has a more powerful effect than inviting the king.
“It was difficult for me to accept the teacher’s insistence on becoming a tourist destination, but… I
have no choice but to admit it after hearing that his reaction was favorable.”
“okay. But don’t you still have one problem?”
The problem Ella mentioned.
“???? Mmm.”
The queen’s complexion was slightly but firm.
The plan to promote Kelly’s name as a tourism resource in each city is running almost without problems.
Even so, they have yet to properly open trade.
There is only one problem that is still unresolved.
Why hadn’t Kelia allowed humans from other countries to enter its territory, except for a few foreign envoys for the past two years?
It wasn’t simply because of the conflict between the different races and humans.
It was because there was one crucial problem that shouldn’t be shown to them.
It is a grave blemish that only a few people know even within Kellya, a nation of unified heterogeneous races.
As long as it exists, it is difficult to achieve the Queen’s will.
“I couldn’t help but worry about Arele Ernesia’s visit this time. If he had noticed…
what would have happened…
“….you might have noticed already.”
” yes?”
“no. You’ll get more tired than that. Now that the report is over, Ella, you should rest now too. I need to organize my thoughts for a while.”
When the queen tells her to leave, Ella politely bows her head as if she understands.
“Before that, can’t we leave the maid’s job to someone else?”
“Is that a dissatisfaction with me?”
“It is not. However, if the representative of the group of Dark Elves continues to work as a handmaid, wouldn’t they be dissatisfied?”
The queen, with her very personal opinion, spoke to the maid in front of her… as the representative of the Dark Elves.
“Don’t worry about that…. It’s about the representative position, so you can leave it to someone else. Rather, I think it is more appropriate for me to serve the queen like this.”
She never breaks her stubbornness.
“The Queen was the only one who took me from being a mere wanderer. So, this is the right thing for me.”
“…Hmm, it seems that the others think that their abilities are not worth it… Okay, take a break today.”
“yes.”
Ella bowed once more and withdrew silently.
Isn’t it too precious a skill for a lady-in-waiting?
“Anyway, everyone is stubborn.”
The Queen sighed and rose from her chair.
First of all, she and her master showed everything they wanted to show.
The rest is just what he does after that.
“I hope he will come out cooperatively…
She sighed deeply, holding her chin.
It was because the real business that called him was still ahead.
After finishing the Kelia tour, we returned to the Kelia royal castle to rest and stay.
This time, instead of holding a party in consideration of the tired us, we held a proper dinner party and had a proper conversation about sightseeing.
He said he liked it, and the Queen seemed delighted.
As soon as she returned to her room, Pena fell asleep as if she was quite tired.
After making sure she wouldn’t wake up for the next few hours, I went over to the window.
I have yet to come to bed.
I have work to do.
To be precise, that side is what I have business with.
After waiting for a while, a rope came down from above.
“Only this?”
I looked up at the rope in genuine bewilderment.
“…I was really looking forward to how to bring people up, but this is it?”
Is it self grabbing and climbing?
Oh, I’ll go, but
After lightly pulling on the rope to make sure it was properly secured, I slipped out the window.
“???? Ugh.”
Why the hell do I have to come on a trip and ride the wall in the middle of the night?
I was wondering what this was like.
For now, I understand that there is nothing you can do about it. Because this is the best way to move without rumors.
Sometimes it’s more secretive to simply fill it with your body than magic.
I silently sneaked upstairs to the window with familiar movements.
Then, isn’t the queen welcoming me as if she had been waiting?
“Come on. I waited.”
“Queen? I don’t mean to complain, but couldn’t you have invited me in a more plausible way?”
I don’t want a lot of romance, but I want to hope for a little common sense, right?
When she complained lightly about making a man climb over the castle wall at dawn, the queen grumbled as if she couldn’t help it.
“Blame your escorts for being competent. What did Ella say that she couldn’t move it secretly with magic? You mage… Did you say Dia? The wizard said he would notice no matter what.”
“Hmm, if that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it. Please tell Ella not to worry too much.”
hmm.
The queen nodded lightly.
I didn’t come here to have a trivial chat, so I immediately inquired.
It was that side that called me anyway.
Suddenly, through the lady-in-waiting, she secretly contacted me.
Well, I didn’t think it was a strange intention from the beginning.
“Then shall we listen to the business?
Why did you call people out this way? No, why did you invite me like this?”
I asked the true intention of inviting us to this trip and treating us.
It is a truth that goes through any world that nothing is free in this world.
Hospitality means that there is a purpose to that extent.
right?
This side was also treated appropriately, so I can listen to the story in return.
“That’s how it is. Then, where should we start talking…
Queen Hetia pretended to be worried as if she had a lot to talk about.
done. So I’ll prioritize the stories I want to hear first.
“First, could you teach me about the ‘genius’ mentioned earlier?”
“I’m sure we should talk about that first.”
One of the things that bothers me the most is that Hetia knows something about the existence of reincarnated people.
It was also concluded that if my guess was correct, this place might also be related to a reincarnated person similar to me.
The cities of the different races that I visited this time had traces of the intentions of the partners, no matter where they were.
Perhaps it was intentionally shown.
I thought so.
‘Come to think of it… In this life, I’m getting entangled with my business partner quite a bit here and there, right?’
From the last castle war and the heterogeneous nation of Kelia.
There is no place that is not entangled anywhere.
Isn’t that all?
If you look closely, as time goes by, there are plenty of traces that will make you feel the scent of your partner.
Maybe the Queen has something to do with them?
If so, I may have to take care of my own response to them later.
One thing that is certain at this stage is that they have no hostility whatsoever.
And the queen is not a partner.
Now… how will it come out?
“Would you mind waiting a moment? I will soon bring someone who will tell me a suitable story.”
“…bring it?”
Something is ambiguous in expression.
Um, did I get the language wrong?
Don’t they usually say that they bring or take them?
“Are you the kind of sage of Kelia? Is he the one introducing you?”
“Have you ever heard of it?”
“I have heard that in each city there is someone who has lent wisdom. I heard that you were also involved in several developments.”
I heard that he solves some of the problems in the estate and also advises on state affairs in Kelia, which is still creaking?
As if my guess was correct, the Queen said,
“Mm!”
I lightly admitted.
“He’s the one I’d like to introduce to you… So what are you hiding? He’s been giving us various advice so far.”
“Huh?????
I feel like my convictions are more strongly pierced.
In other words, this position is that he laid the groundwork to bring me?
Are you surprised?
Usually business partners don’t want to meet each other.
