Chapter 70: The Intersecting Ones
In the Imperial City, there is a residence where the most senior among the nobility children who work mainly as servants live.
A corner of this residence was provided as a temporary abode for Luke and his companions. Normally, when nobles from other countries visit the Empire, it is common to secure an imperial nobles mansion or a monastery for them. However, the case is different for kingdom nobles.
Treating them similarly could potentially pose a risk to the Empire. Hence, as a special case, a corner of the Imperial Palace was provided as their temporary residence.
Of course, this decision was reached after several heated court meetings.
This is not a bad country. It truly lives up to its reputation as a nation of knights. The kingdom knights are no match for them.
As a former kingdom knight, that is a painful thing to hear.
Kuku, I dont know about the time you were there.
Under Alfreds assistance, Luke slowly slipped his arms into his sleeves. In his line of sight, the imperial knights, forming a beautiful formation, were swinging their swords.
In a slightly distant place, there were also those undergoing practical training. Naturally, they were using skills.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
The imperial knights, so to speak, are the main force of this country. It involves military matters, but showing this openly was also decided after the meetings.
The intention is to divert attention from what they truly want to hide while declaring that there is no intention of rebellion whatsoever.
What do you think, from your perspective?
Yes, just as Luke-sama said. Even those at the bottom could be considered first-class in strength in the kingdom.
Hearing Alfreds answer, Luke smiled thinly with satisfaction and continued speaking.
So, what about that guy from yesterday?
Hmm.
Alfred pondered for a moment, quickly understanding who Luke was referring to.
To be honest I have no choice but to say I dont know.
The day Luke suddenly alighted from the carriage had not only greatly disturbed the citizens of the Empire but even the First Prince.

More importantly, it was problematic that the person she trusted most regarding strength had absolutely no sense of crisis.
Even putting that aside, with the Sword Saint Festival drawing near, that behavior was absolutely wrong.
Damn, looks like I have to wake him up again today
Just then, a sound shattered the silence like something breaking.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, including Meety, who turned to look. There, amidst the shattered remains of a flowerpot, lay a white-haired boy, bleeding from the head.
Meety immediately ran over.
If youre just going to stand there and watch, get lost! Hey, you, are you alrigh its you?
The youth had ears slightly longer than hers.
Arthur, what are you doing here?
Ah haha, its been a while, Meety. Ow, ow, ow.
The bloodied youth laughed wearily.
Despite her irritation, Meety roughly splashed a potion on his face.
But she knew.
This elf youth, seemingly harmless to anyones eye, served as the leader of the terrorist organization Vritra.
Ive said it many times, Im not going to join you guys, okay?
Yeah. Its unfortunate, but Im not here to force you. Actually, I came to the imperial capital today for a different reason. That is
And thus, their twisted fates intersected.
There you are, half-elf girl.
Why hadnt she noticed someone approaching so close?
Though she had only heard it once, Meety recognized the voice without needing to turn around.
That the boy beloved by spirits was there.
