We advanced through the Spirit Forest for a while and once we got out, we arrived at Bivnaheim, the Country of Humans .
Wheat fields spread out all over the open, giving off the vibe of what a human country is .
Though farming is also done in the Country of Elves, The one here is larger in scale compared to ours .
“So that’s the royal capital…… what a huge city”
What’s in the scenery before me was a large castle town and a castle surrounded by it .
On approximate, about a 100,000 people live there .
Even though their technology has still not advanced quite yet, to establish this scale of a building is quite the feat already .
At least they are hundred times larger than an ordinary house .
“We have finally reached their royal capital, but how will we get in?”
I asked Cecil by my side .
“Hmmm . Let’s see . Normally there is something like a gate way, but we will definitely be turned down if we just go in”
At the entrance of the town there was a fancy gate, and there were quite a few people lined up there .
Apparently, the human king seems quite keen on security .
“If that’s the case, I have an idea . Would you mind?”
Effie spoke, with a scheming face for some reason .
“Effie-san, please don’t make a fuss if possible”
“You don’t have to give me that scary look Cecil-chan . This one is safe, I tell you”
“So what are you going to do?”
“Ufufufufu, same way I did with Allan-kun”
“We really got through”
“Prince, I feel like we did something bad . ”
We used temptation magic against soldiers guarding the gates .
The soldiers who received that power became friendly to us and we pa.s.sed through the gate without much inspection .
Because it will become an uproar if we exposed ourselves as elves and spirit, and putting on hoods will further enhance their suspicion, we chose this way . But the power of magic sure is amazing .
Because the security at the entrance was strict, once we got inside the capital, it didn’t become a fuss anymore even if we are elves .
I guess they fully trust the security of this country .
“So far I can see that their king’s ruling is quite good”
If it was a tyrannical King, w war would likely be happening right now, and it will be impossible not to get involved with it .
If we could exchange our branches well, the world will be one step closer to unification .
But to do it, I have to persuade the king first .
“By the way, how about Cecil and Effie?”
“Effie felt a bit dizzy, so Cecil is supporting her in the meantime”
“Haa, then we’re free at the moment . Let’s search for an inn first”
“I concur . It will become a serious situation if the prince can’t hold it in anymore”
Fran Jested a little .
“Hey, that’s… . . ”
“I’m right, am I not?”
“Though I admit that I’m lively when speaking of my relationship with women, I can also act normally you know?
“heee, this is surprising . I certainly thought you will be chasing over women’s b.u.t.t at all times”
“heyhey……”
Certainly, there are days when I’m like that .
But because I’m also a part of the royal family, I have government affairs to do too so I have to fix myself over it . .
Thankfully, the Country of Elves has a small population, so it is quite easy to manage the affairs .
Thinking the amount of work necessary to rule over this capital of the humans, I am again thankful I wasn’t born to this royal family .
“Well, in the meantime we should look for a way to meet with the King”
Fran also nodded to those words .
The current problem right now is meeting him .
“Elves and Humans have been out of diplomatic relations for quite some time”
“You’re right . And this won’t go that easy like the Country of Spirits”
Although both are living in isolation, elves and spirits have a solid diplomatic relationship for ages .
In comparison with the Country of Humans, we haven’t heard from each other after forming an alliance, and that was a long time ago .
And if the elves are the one saying it was a long time – what’s it even more with the humans? It would probably be like an era or so .
“I feel like I would be detained at once if I suddenly reveal that I’m the Elven Prince here”
“With that kind of security, it is very likely”
“The best thing we have to do is to find some humans with connections to their royal family . Do you know anything?”
“I haven’t head of someone like that . Sorry”
And just like that, such a light wish of mine was cut by Fran in one word stroke .
I gave a wry smile in response, then continued until we found a lodging and stopped at the entrance . Then I spoke to Fran .
“So, how about this one? Looks fine, right”
“The building looks strong, looks secure and pretty clean too . I agree with you, Prince”
After getting the approval of Fran, we went inside .
“Welcome~ What a surprise! Aren’t you elves?!”
The man at the reception looked at us in astonishment .
“Yes, and we are in the middle of a trip . Do you have room available for four people?”
“We have . Those ears . Are you a purebred elf?”
“We have business to take care of, so we came out of the forest”
“Wow, though I have heard stories of your race, to see a pure blood for the first time, what a great ears you have”
“Want to touch?”
“Eh, really? Then……”
We chatted for a while then after that we were guided to the room .
And for having us here for the first time, he offered us their best room for a special price . Guess we are lucky .
We put our luggage and sat down the chair, with Fran sitting opposite me .
Seems like the elves existence is recognized here”
“Even though it’s a rare case, it wasn’t quite a big deal, opposite of what I’m expecting”
Perhaps there were elves who moved to the Country of Humans a long time ago .
There might be descendants of them in this capital .
“……prince, to tell you the truth, I have been thinking”
“What?”
“The owner of this store just said he saw the purebred elves for the first time . ”
“Ah yes . That was really surprising”
“But, isn’t his reaction quite different from the rest people in the town?”
If he was surprised that much, it would not be strange if it made an uproar .
“Possibly, the people in this town should be familiar with elves with mixed blood”
“Is that so? I haven’t seen those kinds of elves, so I don’t quite understand the difference between pure blood and mixed blood races well……”
Though it is clear from elves at a glance, humans may not be able to recognize them unless they observe it well .
Certainly, I had such an experience in my previous life .
“therefore, you should leave it to me, a half-elf to gather information around the castle town . ”
“What, but that’s……”
Fran is still harboring complex of being a half-elf .
Her suggestion may be effective, but with this it will make her remember herself being a half even more, which traumatized her greatly .
“I’m a little scared, but I think this is a good opportunity to overcome my weakness . ”
I felt a strong determination in Fran’s eyes .
She is also trying to get over her wall here .
Then, all I have to do is support her .
“I understand . I’ll entrust it to you”
I got up from the chair .
“Prince, where are you going?”
“To retrieve Cecil and Fran”
Cecil aside, Effie is a spirit .
There is also an easy-to-notice characteristic of her – that are the wings on her back, so we have kept her hidden for a while .
I don’t want to make a fuss as Fran collects information .
“Wait!”
Then, when I was about to leave the room, Fran called me .
“Though I have said those words earlier, I’m actually really scared right now”
“Ah, I understand”
“Therefore, in exchange of doing my best, I want a reward……or something like that”
“Reward, huh . What do you want? I can get you anything, as long as it isn’t above the clouds or underneath the sea”
“You don’t need to go that far……what I want is……just on the bed”
“Well, if that’s the case then I can deliver it right away”
I said so, lifted Fran and carried her to bed .
