We decided to go to the Imperial Capital and went back to Lamberg to get ready once.\n
Licia needs to be ready, too.
Because Lamberg is closer to Sempler than Trubequista, Lisia will come here when sheâs ready.
Iâm ready to get to Sempler first.
Supplies from Sempler to Teito are to be procured locally.
It would be too much boulder to carry from here.
Then decide what to accompany me.
Getting to Sempler will naturally require an escort, and Clan will escort you from there, but you should still have a reliable escort.
On second thought, the escort will give priority to the protection of the eldest son of the clan, so there is also a good chance that he will not protect me or Lisia in times of need.
Charlotte should be escorted.
Leetz cannot be allowed to go to an empire with a lot of Marka discrimination. Let him stay. Iâll take care of the mansion.
Anything else with high martial arts is about Mireille?
I just donât know what kind of trouble youâre going to have when you take Mireille, so letâs not.
Well, Iâm also afraid to leave it while Iâm not at the mansion, but if Leeds is there, heâll do something about it.
Do you take them because there are some high martial arts there, such as Roselleâs brothers?
I sent a letter to Clan saying that Lisia had taken it on for me, and then I was going too. \nWaiting for a response doesnât wait because it takes a lot of time.
However, it would be difficult if the clan refused to let me go.
The ship is going to be big, so I think itâs going to be okay, but Iâm not sure I can get permission. Do we have to negotiate well if itâs tough?
A few days later, Lisia came to the mansion.
Looks like he came in a carriage.
Heâs got a maid to look after him around, and some soldiers.
We donât know when weâll be ready to leave port, so we better head to Sempler as soon as possible.
We were to head to Sempler as soon as Lisia arrived.
âThen Iâll goâ
âYes⊠weâll take care of the mansion.â
Reetz said so, looking lonely.
âWhy donât you take Atashi with you, too? The Imperial City is where delicious liquor gathers from all over Samaforce.â
âIâd love to have Sister Mireille come with me.â
Thatâs what Charlotte asked for.
âIâm not going sightseeing. Alcohol would be in Lamberg.â \nâHmm, noâ
âMaster Ars has a stiff headâ
Mireille has said many times she wants to go, but every time she says no. When Charlotte is with me and Mireille drinks even more, I have only a bad feeling. I even have a feeling Iâm going to let go of my magic to Teito and get a nomination arranged.
âWhat kind of place is Empire and Paradise? Ars, get me a souvenir.â
Roselle has asked for a souvenir.
âThatâs not why Iâm going sightseeing⊠well, maybe a souvenirâ
Roselle likes books, so if you find any rare books, Iâll buy them for you.
âThen Dear Ars, and Charlotte, I hope you will be able to complete your journey safely. Youâre not going.â
âOh, Iâm comingâ
âLetâs go.â
Then we leave the mansion. Then he got in the carriage and left with Lisia for Sempler.
The road to Sempler is as dangerous as ever, and the bandits come out, but with Charlotte, itâs easy to get rid of them.
All arrived intact to Sempler.
âIs this the Sempler⊠because Iâve never been too far away⊠I heard about the ocean, but you really have so much waterâ
âThis time weâll sail over to the Imperial City.â
\nâItâs no problem for you to go with me.â
âThank youâ
Iâm relieved that I got your permission.
âI was hoping youâd go one way or another rather than have a problemâ
âDoes that mean you want us to look for talent in Imperial Capital?
âItâs not. Can the Lord see his own talent in his power?
âNo, I canât just see my own abilities.â
âRight. It seems to me that the Lord has political talent. I was wondering if the Lord himself might be useful as a negotiating aid.â
âOh, is that right?
Political talent?
It turns out that martial arts and intelligence are no big deal, but we donât know what the status quo is about leadership and politics.
I canât say I donât have talent, but I canât feel it when they say I do.
I honestly donât know if I showed anything talented, and I doubt why I thought so. Is it like intuition?
Honestly, I donât think you have talent, but maybe you can think about it to the extent that you do.
âIt will take about a week before we leave the port. Yes, my son is just coming to the castle, so let me introduce him.â
