Chapter 219: Audience (1)
chapter 219: audience (1)
my friends and i came to the royal castle with general lucidral, elder philamer, and about ten elves.
a luxurious carriage came to pick us up at the hotel. the carriage brought us to the gates of the royal castle, where we were greeted by many officials.
the room we were shown to was very luxurious.
“allen, are you sure i can come?”
“oh? isn’t that all right? and by the way, i don’t have any reason to have an audience with the king either.”
that time, we were not summoned by the king.
we were instead riding on the authority of general lucidral and elder philamer.
dogora, who was a commoner in a development village until a few years ago, asked me if he was allowed to be there.
he was shown into a gorgeous room and seemed to be quite embarrassed.
rosenheim did not have the same opulence as the royal castle we were in. the buildings made by the elves, who valued harmony with nature, had a certain simplicity to them, even the one where the queen resided.
i picked up a serving of fruit and ate it.
kurena joined me and we ate lushly.
cecile sighed, “you ate so much for lunch earlier.”
“thank you for your patience. your audience is ready, please come with me.”
after waiting for a while, an official knocked on the door and came in.
he was dressed in shiny, luxurious clothes that made me wonder if he was a fairly high-ranking official.
“it’s fine, even though we have no diplomatic relations with the latash kingdom.”
elder philamer replied to the official’s words.
we had to wait 10 days for the audience, but i guess it could be said that 10 days was quick enough for them to contact us on short notice.
“but having an audience while armed?”
the official said, looking awkwardly at me and my friends.
we were fully equipped at that time.
dogora came to the castle with a large shield that we had just bought. seeing the shiny black axe and the shield, the official was puzzled as to if he had gone there to fight.
apparently, they wanted us to disarm and then enter the audience room.
(i wasn’t allowed to carry weapons back then as well.)
when i won the academy martial arts tournament, i met the crown prince.
even then, i was not allowed to carry a weapon.
i knew that but i still decided to come fully armed.
“i apologize for this. i’m afraid i lacked the courtesy of the latash kingdom. i take it we will both be unarmed?”
“no, that’s not what i meant...”
(elder philamer is great at diplomacy. it’s like he’s just playing with kids.)
i had asked sophie what kind of person elder philamer was that the queen had sent to have an audience with the king.
rosenheim was a country where the queen was the head of state.
however, politics was run by the council of elders.
the elders, however, had their own roles to play when there was no council.
the elders were each assigned to run a field, such as agriculture, roads and other infrastructure, and finance.
the field given to elder philamer was diplomacy.
“yes, thank you for this audience. my name is philamer, and i am an elder from rosenheim. first of all, i would like to thank the latash kingdom for sending heroes to rosenheim under such circumstances.”
saying that, general lucidral and elder philamer bowed.
if my friends and i had reached rosenheim even a day later, tiamo would have fallen, the queen would have been killed, and the elves would have perished.
in such a situation, there was no doubt that whatever the intention of the latash kingdom was, it saved rosenheim.
so elder philamer showed his gratitude with words and attitude.
“uh-huh. it’s only natural. the latash kingdom is also a member of the five continents alliance. it’s just that the latash kingdom has decided that the salvation of rosenheim is its top priority, even though the advance of the demon king’s army to the giamut empire is also severe.”
the prime minister probably hadn’t expected to be bowed to so brazenly as he looked slightly afraid.
“on behalf of the queen of the elves, your highness, sofiarone, would like to say a few words.”
“uh-huh.”
the prime minister took a breath.
then philamer used the queen’s name.
it meant that sophie had come under the full authority of the queen of rosenheim, one of the leaders of five continents alliance.
sophie, with the spirit god rosen on her shoulder, took a step forward.
“i would like to thank the latash kingdom for their wisdom in this matter. rosenheim will always return the favor it has received. please do not forget that rosenheim will be with the latash kingdom forever and ever.”
without lowering her head, sophie looked straight at the king and thanked him.
“yes, you’re right. the latash kingdom just fulfilled its duty as an ally. hmm?”
at that time, the king noticed that a squirrel riding on sophie’s shoulder was staring at him.
the king stared back at the spirit god, but the spirit god didn’t remove his gaze either, so a strange silence descended.
“is there something wrong?”
“in rosenheim, you carry such small animals on your shoulders.”
“no, that’s not it. master rosen, the king of latash wishes to speak with you.”
“rosen? rosen!”
for a moment, the king didn’t know what the word “rosen” meant.
however, that was the name of the elves’ faith, known even to those who graduated from the house of lords, an academy for royalty and nobility with no talent.
the king’s surprise was contagious to the nobles.
“has the spirit king come to this place?”
“is that the little creature?”
“you idiot, why are you pointing!?”
people were straining their eyes in the reasonably large audience hall to see the spirit god riding on sophie’s shoulders.
in addition, rosenheim had already announced that the spirit king had reached the realm of god, but it seemed that recognition had not yet been announced.
at sophie’s words, the spirit god slowly floated in the air and gazed down at the king.
“son of human, i am spirit god rosen, and i want to thank you for saving my little elves. haha.”
he didn’t say it that loudly, but somehow the spirit god’s words were heard by everyone in the entire hall.
the king gulped.
thus, allen and his friends’ audience with the king of latash proceeded.
translator’s thoughts
i think that even rosen thanking is going a bit overboard, don’t you think?
