Chapter 88: Reunion

The group began advancing by smoothly avoiding the grumbling Herman. Was the dragons basket always this big? I let out a heavy sigh.

I wont blow the whistle and make the dragons excited. I will behave myself from here on and get taken to the capital. Hm hmm. Hm hm hmm.

Kyee.

Kyee.

Oops. My excitement flowed out. I pretended not to notice the Princes cold gaze towards me, and sat properly.

The autumn sun warms the prairie. I, who was tired from my confrontation with the tanuki, seemed to have fallen asleep before noticing.

Lei! Alistair said. Im sure Mill is preparing breakfast on the first floor, but I was still sleepy.

Lei. Lei. Were nearly in town!

I suddenly woke up. Oh yeah, Im not in Lentforce anymore. Were nearly at the capital. In front of me, I saw a big town, which the town of Lentforce couldnt compare to, with a big castle at the back and mountains towering behind the castle as if they were protecting the castle.

The town was next to the mountains, the same as Lentforce, but this town didnt have a barrier. In other words, it was vulnerable to the threat of Hollows at night. However, I could see that the mountains were actually quite far away as we got closer. They looked close because of their height.

Even so, why is the capital near such a mountain range? It would be safer if they just made it at the prairie.

My doubts didnt matter as we approached the town. The town wasnt surrounded by walls; instead, each and every house was built robustly.

A lot of people were gathered at the entrance of the town, cheering loudly.

Prince Hubert!

Welcome back!

Many voices resonated to welcome the Prince. The Prince sometimes waved his hands at the people and looked quite like a Prince. He glanced at me and narrowed his eyes as if he was saying something.

Its because youre looking at me with those eyes, Lei.

Lei awwaysh woowsh wiwe thhish. (Lei always looks like this.)

No, you definitely thought, Huu looks like a Prince.

Gufo.

Alistair, who was next to me, said, and I think the knight couldnt hold in his laughter. Youre not qualified to be a guard, are you?

The people must have noticed our interaction because their cheers got quieter and they soon went silent.

Awishthairsh fauwth. (Alistairs fault.)

Its because you made a weird face.

I didnth.

They paid more attention to us when we talked in whispers.

Its a Lisburn.

He really has summery-blue eyes.

I never thought Id get to see two of them in such a short time.

They whispered amongst themselves, but in a good way. Some grasped their chests and looked at Alistair with longing eyes. Even though there werent really any benefits from being part of the Four Marquises. Were the Four Marquises respected this much? Or did the Nii-samas do something?

Lei, those eyes.

Lei awwaysh woowsh wiwe thhish.

Alistair, who must have been nervous when he showed his big eyes, laughed, and the people got noisy. They paid attention to him to see was laughing at. Ah, dammit.

Oh, shes so cute.

I wonder who she is.

Oh, perhaps

Apparently, they couldnt see the colour of my eyes over the basket. The Prince slowed down his dragon.

Leila, it turned into a show, but I have to show you to the people in this m
