Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 64.2

“What was the point of that fight with the wyvern? Why did Lord Mauroni and Saed have to lose their lives? That fool should’ve been fed to the wyvern instead.”

“Yuto… that’s enough.”

“I know, I know, but I don’t want this country to remain like this with Umino-san and the others still here.”

It’s almost certain Alberic will be named the next king, but will he be able to ascend the throne smoothly?

Even if he does ascend, will he be able to govern the country as he wishes?

“Hey, Araseli.”

“What is it?”

“Do you think Prince Alberic might be assassinated?”

“That’s impossible…”

“Lord Mauroni died in the wyvern battle, and many knights have also perished. There are still people to protect him, right?”

“Of course, there should be capable people guarding him, and His Majesty the King will surely make the proper arrangements.”

“That’s good to hear.”

I still had my concerns, but there was nothing I could do at this point.

Once the succession is settled, Alberic should act quickly and purge the Second Prince’s faction.

That evening, the dining table was covered with a feast far too lavish for just me and Araseli to finish.

I wasn’t sure if this was some leftover indulgence from the profligate prince or if it was meant to be a last supper, but we didn’t touch all the dishes and had some of them sent to the guards instead.

“Seeing so many people who have lost their homes, lands, and possessions… I’m no different from Belnort.”

“Don’t say such things. You are nothing like that fool who turns his back and refuses to see.”

“Sorry… and thank you, Araseli.”

“Yuto…”

Ignoring the raucous noise coming from the other building, Araseli and I retreated into our own little world.

Anger at Belnort and the unease of heading towards Fulmelinta had no place between the two of us.

The next morning, after a leisurely breakfast and preparing to depart, Belnort, of course, did not come to see us off.

Even if he had come, it would only have made me angry, so it was better that he didn’t show up.

As we left the lodging, the number of guards around the carriage had increased from four to eight.

Today, we were finally entering Eberwein’s territory.

“It seems security has been tightened. Is there any danger?”

“If the terms of the peace have been agreed upon, the fighting should be over, and there should be no danger of attack.”

“Right.”

I didn’t think there was any chance of being attacked, but for some reason, I sensed tension in the air outside the carriage.

As I observed the surroundings, I noticed more and more people pointing at us as we approached Eberwein’s territory.

Previously, we had stopped to rest at tea houses along the main road, but now the carriage halted at a supply base set up by the knights.

When Araseli and I got off the carriage, murmurs spread through the crowd.

“Are they disappointed in me, the wyvern-slaying hero, because I’m unreliable?”

“Yuto is not unreliable.”
