Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 61.3

“And despite achieving such great feats and being made a marquis, Lord Kirikaze is still so approachable. I was worried when I was first assigned to serve, thinking you might be a terrifying person.”

“That ‘Hero of the Wyvern Slayer’ title has taken on a life of its own. As for that wyvern slaying, it wasn’t something I accomplished alone. I had Araseli, of course, and the late Lord Mauroni, Lord Saed, and many other knights to thank.”

“Even so, I heard that without Lord Kirikaze, the wyvern couldn’t have been defeated. Yet to hand you over to Fulmelinta like this…”

Othello was indignant, and even the knights guarding us, along with Araseli, nodded in agreement.

Seeing that gave me a sense of relief, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but worry about the king and Alberic.

If Othello and the knights were merely acting on orders to make me feel this way, it would be impressive, but if Belnort’s reckless behavior continued unchecked and public dissatisfaction built up, the kingdom might falter.

I’m not saying they should pander to the people, but ever since arriving in this world, I’ve found myself questioning many aspects of how the Kingdom of Yurefelt is run.

For instance, during the memorial festival, the royal family rode around the city in carriages but didn’t wave or smile.

Even with a strict class system, the divide felt too deep.

When this group set out, they tried to offer me the courtesies owed to nobility, but I asked them to stop.

Despite being appointed as a marquis, I wasn’t given any land, and I was being handed over to an enemy nation as part of peace negotiations, so I didn’t want to deal with such stiff formalities for a mere title.

Othello and the others were puzzled by my request, but since this might be my last time in the Kingdom of Yurefelt, I asked them to let me enjoy it in peace, and they agreed.

Though they still addressed me as Lord Kirikaze, both the knights and the coachman spoke to me casually.

“Lord Kirikaze, we’ll be staying in the town of Faln tonight.”

“What kind of town is it?”

“It’s a highland town known for sheep farming.”

“Do they raise the sheep for wool?”

“Yes, that’s correct, but some are also raised for food, so tonight you’ll enjoy mutton dishes.”

“Oh, that sounds great! I guess I shouldn’t eat too much on the road then.”

“Indeed, it would be best to exercise some restraint.”

On the road to Fulmelinta, it seemed we could use accommodations reserved for royalty.

Apparently, the lodgings and meals were all quite luxurious.

Although I would have been fine with a regular inn, who knew when I’d have the chance to enjoy such a luxurious trip again, so I decided to savor the experience.

The itinerary allowed for a leisurely pace, and by the evening, we arrived at that day’s lodging.
