“How is it, father? Aren’t they pretty?”
“Yes, they are really pretty. Thank you Leila.”
Delighted by his daughter’s cute gesture, King Mohichi gently stroked his beloved daughter’s hair.
Although the current situation was gloomy, the king could forget his worries for a while and smile innocently at his daughter’s small expressions of affection.
“By the way, father…do you have any concerns? I feel that these days…father’s face doesn’t look very bright.”
“Me? Hahahaha…I’m fine! When you have a kingdom to look after, you naturally have a lot of worries. There are always some concerns, so don’t worry too much.”
Even though she was an innocent daughter who knew nothing about politics or war, King Mohichi smiled brightly as he felt grateful for her care towards her father.
“Is that so? Then, if you ever encounter any difficulties, please let me know. Even though I am lacking, I will definitely do my best to give strength to father.”
“Yeah, I got it. If that happens, l will talk to you right away.”
Although it didn’t mean much for the current dire situation, but it at least made him feel better as a father. Therefore, King Mohichi replied in a bright voice, and at the same time…he once again made a deep commitment in his heart.
‘No matter what happens, I will protect this kingdom with my own strength.’
He would do it for the happiness of countless people and his lovely daughter.
***
A plain near Budipet, the capital of Hangury.
Unlike the usual, many people had gathered in a camp erected in the empty cultivated land.
Most of the people were Sakiel Knights dressed in black armor. However, strictly speaking, the proportion of ordinary people in ordinary clothes was much higher than the members of the Sakiel Knights.
Most of these people were merchants who wanted to receive requests and transport supplies or conduct business with the Sakiel Knights. There were many people already opening stalls and conducting business with food, clothing, or weapons on display.
“It’s cheap, it’s cheap! This is the oil used for maintaining weapons! Prior to battle, oiling of valuable equipment is essential! I will sell you specially for 100 silver coins for a bottle!”
“Get your Jerky here! Grab a bite of meat instead of a poor supply diet and join the battle! Cheap and delicious jerky! I’ll take 50 silver coins for a packet!”
Some of the Sakiel Knights frowned at the merchants doing their business as if it was a market, but most Sakiel Knights showed interest in the goods, as they started to actively buy the products.
And…while watching the scene from a distance, Bahamut began to enjoy the fairly peculiar sight.
‘Oh… there are quite a few people who do business like that. They say that where there are people, there are always merchants, and that’s the truth.’
Although it looked quite different from the generally known formation of the army. It was also a scene that was quite convincing when he saw the scene with his own eyes.
If a university festival were to take place right away, it could be said that it was the same reason as stalls gathering like ghosts from somewhere to do business.
‘Now then…where should I begin? It’s a pretty interesting scene, but our stage is not there.’
After satisfying his curiosity, Bahamut left the Sakiel Knight’s camp and moved forward again.
Behind him, Ophelia was carrying the Karl’s Greatsword on her back, followed by Isolda and Yuria.
***
Yuria Sweets, was accompanying Isolda on the journey as her secretary. However, she was a little worried by Isolda’s current state, which was quite different from usual.
‘Lady Isolda…what happened her? She seem a little gloomy these days…’
Although Isold tried not to show it to anyone else, Yuria, who stayed with her almost all the time, understood her emotional state to some extent.
‘I don’t know exactly what…but maybe, the reason why Lady Isolda is so depressed has something to do with Lord Bahamut?’
The fact that Isolda loved Bahamut was something Yuria had noticed a long time ago.
Above all, as there was currently no particular problems with the company’s work, Yuria judged that the only thing that could make Isolda so depressed was her feeling for Bahamut.
‘Umm…I can’t just let her stay like this. I promised to help her if she is ever about to lose her way, so I’ll have to to something.’
After making up her mind, Yuria carefully looked at Bahamut, who was walking towards Budipet Castle at the front.
