We reached the gates of the royal city and the carriage stopped once there.


    It could be seen from a distance, but the power of the size of the outer wall was more palpable when viewed up close.


    ''''It''s big........''''


    Tina said as she looked up at the wall to the sky.


    I was doing that earlier too, but I stopped soon after because my neck was going to hurt.


    The gatekeeper and two of Yele''s men talked for a bit, and soon the carriage started moving.


    I showed them something that looked like a piece of paper and the gatekeeper saluted and let me through as if he was in a hurry... what was that about?


    There is a very large shopping area inside.


    There are all kinds of people, and the number of inhabitants of our village, Aulin, would exceed the number of inhabitants within ten meters of walking.


    ''Wow, amazing people!''


    Tina reacts like a redneck from the village. Well, she''s right.


    She stands up on the shaky, unstable carriage, busily moving her head around, looking at all sorts of people and shops and such.


    Me and Mr. Jere are watching the scene with a smile. Yele-san isn''t smiling but the atmosphere is kind of smiling.


    Tina is smiling happily and looking around, but when she notices our gaze, she sits down with an embarrassed blush on her face.


    ''''Ugh ... Eric''s silly.''''


    Why?


    I cover my face with my hands and pat my own sister''s head a little, because she''s so cute and shy.


    She removes her hands from her face to look at me, as if surprised by it, but she immediately laughs and leans back.


    I think of her like a sister, but I''m about twice as old as her mentality.


    I feel like I treat Tina like a sister a lot of the time.


    ''You two are very close, aren''t you?


    We''ve been together since we were kids, you know.


    I''ve heard that some people stop playing with each other as they''ve been together since childhood and become less and less friendly as they get older, but me and Tina have always been close since our last life.


    The carriage is less bumpy than the single road that led to King''s Landing.


    The ground of the capital is well maintained, but after all, a big city is very different from our village.


    We were rocked by a carriage for a while and looked at the city''s scenery, but this carriage was heading towards the center of the royal capital, away from the shopping district.


    ''''Mr. Yelle, where are we going ourselves first?''''


    I noticed that the carriages were heading more and more towards the largest building in this royal city and asked.


    ''''Yes, the royal palace first.''''


    .... hmm?　What did you say?


    I''m sorry, sir... where are you going?


    The palace.


    I didn''t mishear it.


    Eh?　Seriously?


    Oh, I''m sorry.


    Yelle said apologetically.


    What a difference, thank God. I was wondering what you were going to do in the royal palace all of a sudden.


    ''''Tina-san, I''ll take you to the magic knight''s dormitory.


    ''Eh, ah, yes. Thank you.


    Tina stammered and replied.


    What, me?


    Mr. Yelle, are you...?


    "Eric, you are to meet with His Majesty at the Royal Court.


    He also told me what to do at the Royal Palace. Thank goodness.


    ... no, I''m not grateful!


    ''Why are you talking about meeting the king yourself?


    ''I have informed Your Majesty that you, Eric, have defeated the dangerous man, Felix Gladio. That is why His Majesty wishes to speak to you.


    ''All of a sudden?　I mean, how do you know the king wants to talk to me!


    You''ve been here the whole time, so you couldn''t have had any contact with the king.


    ''''Given His Majesty''s character, I''m sure he''ll want to talk to you.


    Yelle-san explains that to me, but I don''t understand the character of his Majesty.


    Why would saying that he defeated Felix would make him want to see me?


    ''''His Majesty is a very active participant in politics and military affairs, so he''s the one who always says he wants to hear those stories in person.


    He understands my doubts and explains it to me.


    He''s the king of such a large country, so I know he''s a bit different from an ordinary king, but is he that involved?


    ''''His Majesty doesn''t care about what the other party is wearing, so I would like you to talk to him in the royal palace as it is. My best regards.''''


    Okay, okay.


    I didn''t expect something so serious to happen so soon after arriving at King''s Landing.......


    Ah, I''m getting a stomachache.


    The large building that the carriage had been approaching earlier seemed to be the Royal Palace, and Tina had to get off before it.


    There''s some sort of base for the knights and magic knights near the palace, and there''s also a dormitory nearby, so Tina will take her luggage and leave me here.


    I want to get off here too....


    ''Bye Eric!　Good luck!


    Yeah I''ll see you later.


    Tina got out of the carriage and we left immediately.


    She waved all the way to me as we rode away in the carriage.


    ''Don''t worry, Your Majesty is very friendly and a wonderful person. I''m sure Eric will like you too.


    ''That''s all well and good, but...''


    I''ve never met and talked to such a great man in my past life........


    No, was Irene a princess?


    But I''ve never treated her as a princess before....


    When I think about what I would do if I talked to the king of a country like that and acted disrespectfully, my stomach hurts... I feel like I just used a strange word.


    This is how I ended up meeting the greatest king in this country with a stomachache.
