Next Life Vol 1 Chapter 10

The Magic Knight Unit of the Firat Knight Corps was the best elite unit inside the Kingdom, Loviesa, a little proudly ,explained it to him.

In Marius’s sense doing that while sitting inside the vehicle was considerably rude, but it was a natural thing because he is a honored guest as the King’s benefactor.
There was a saying: “When in Rome do as Roman do” in his Original World , that’s why Marius didn’t go against it.

(Even so, it’s strange that only the Princess could speak Famia’s language.)

While hazily listening to the exchange between the person that looked like the Commander of Knight Unit and the King, Marius thought that.

Because the King could not speak in it, perhaps there was no cultural exchange with Barnam Continent, or perhaps Tarian’s people here didn’t necessary need to learn the official language.

At last Marius noticed it.

(I’m pretty full, full with it.)

Feeling tired, he lowered his vigilance. It seems by releasing the unnecessary energy, his mind began rotating.

Not forgetting the eyes in surroundings, he killed his laugh.

Continuing to Emma, and also Loviesa.

It was only a time short after that the Knight Unit arrived, perhaps until now he had only been vigilant to an enemy’s attack, that misgiving arose from the three people.

Magic Knight Unit arranged their positions as if surrounding the current Bodyguards.
Preparing to the unknown enemy’s attack, they used “Dectection” in shifts and kept the progressing with vigilance.

They drunk the distributed Magic Potion in controlled rotation.

“Detection” was magic that had quite a change depending on power application, the effective range depended on the ability of the user. If it was trained, you can limit the scouting direction. In that case, it is possible to increase the scouting range in straight-line.

However, they were paying most of their attention to the guest inside the carriage.

Simply a magician who drifted from a different Continent or perhaps a spy from somewhere.

The biggest reason Marius was feared as a spy from a foreign country was Princess Loviesa.

Her words were that ‘it was better to chant magic in Famia’s language’, but at first there was no one that would lend their ear.

If she wasn’t the Princess of the Kingdom, she would inevitably be a target of punishment and harassment.

To stabilize the declining national power because of the conflict with Majins(Demons), she established a technique that could allow shortening of the chant in Tarian’s language.

Then, it was named as the “Loviesa Formula Incantation”, the new spell that was spreading inside Kingdom put on halt the decline of their forces.

Of course, its scope didn’t shorten all of the chants across the system, but it was seen as matter of time.

“‘Daughter of Gods Loviesa.” (ED Fuj: or Gods’ Daughter Loviesa, that might sound better)

The Firat Kingdom people called her so, becoming a subject of boasting.

After all, she was originally popular as an owner of beauty. Since her knack was widely known, the suitors become doubled. The secret maneuvers of spies could also can be seen everywhere.

If finances were pressured in the end, it would only bring danger to the Princess.

If someone accomplish something it would become a new spark, that kind of thing perhaps became a problem inside the country.

That’s why the attack of Wyverns and the appearance of Marius was shocking.

The Capital of Firat Kingdom, Kingdom Capital Firatos.

Since the founding of it, they had never once received an attack. It was not an emphasis to say it was because of its defensive capability.

The party that had been prepared to fight thought that it ended-up as anti-climactic, and at same time, needless to say, everyone except Marius had stroked their breast.

The reason the second attack didn’t come could have been because summoning six Wyvern was his limit, he was attacking another place, he was wary of Marius, or he had another aim.

The height of city walls made from white stone was about five meters high.

Stopping once in front of the closed gate, one of the soldier asked them to open the gate.

First thing that came to his attention was a modest wooden house, a large paved stone road that looked like it can be passed by a few carriage at the same time and soldiers wearing helmet and armor, holding spears, lances, long swords, and shields. It seems a heavy amount of armored soldiers had lined up.

They only gave instant glances to Marius and the others and then immediately returned their gaze to the city wall and skies.
They should know that this was a party of their King but nobody gave a bow or was likely giving an attitude as if ignoring it, unconsciously Marius had asked.

“Even His Majesty the King is passing through, is it okay being like that?”

Loviesa flatly replied as it was a matter of course.

“Because we are in the middle of wartime. We can’t respond to an enemy attack if we keep maintaining the courtesy.”

Thinking Loviesa’s attitude came from her true feelings, Marius was impressed. At the same time, he understood the reason why the citizens’ appearances could not be seen.

The radius of the Kingdom Capital was about five kilometer or more.

While clicking his tongue inside his mind, he admired the flowing scenery.

Apparently the city buildings had become a mesh-like-shape.

Perhaps it was divided by income disparity.

Only featured by a red roof and a wall about two meters high, a modesty that had endured snow and wind for many years was its impression.

(It’s not flashy, but it’s good that its tradition can be felt.)

From the personality that made up Loviesa and her father, compared to ornate building, tthis was more suitable for them.

The King that had been silent before opened his mouth and hearing the words, Loviesa gave her small nod once who then faced towards Marius.

“The bath had been prepared for Marius-sama, and after that we would like it if you had a dinner together with us, is that okay with you?”

Marius gave a big nod.

Since he vaguely noticed that he was giving an impression of an ignorant barbaric like person, he determined it was better if he plunged ahead to collect information.

Marius had thought that from his common sense but in reality there were always exceptions and there is no time to understand that.

Marius, guided by Chamberlain in his prime, walked inside Royal Palace.

It must be the goods to maintain the appearance.
Marius saw with his amateur eyes that because they had a wide Imperial Capital and also quite a number of soldiers, they must have a reasonable amount of national power

“This way, please.”

The dressing room he was guided to was as wide as a hotel or inn that can be used by a few dozen people in his Original World, but right now nobody was here.
Since Chamberlain couldn’t speak in Famia’s language, Loviesa kept following to keep herself as an interpreter.

“The change of underwear had been prepared, use it as you please.”

Saying so, Chamberlain and Loviesa had backed down.

He had a bath in the lake, but he wondered whether it was smelly or not.
