It had been about two weeks since the attack.
The royal capital has begun to rebuild smoothly, and there is no more rubble to be found when walking around the area that was attacked.
The buildings that were destroyed have not yet been rebuilt, but they will all be repaired in another month.
I didn''t expect it to recover so quickly.
It''s amazing that His Majesty Leo is out in the streets and helping himself.
The soldiers and the people of the city have stopped him many times, but His Majesty is doing the heavy lifting by shaking them off.
By showing up like that, he is giving the people of King''s Landing hope and energy.
We all know that His Majesty Leo is just doing what he''s always done, and he''s not doing it with an aim.
That''s probably why people adore His Majesty Leo.
Perhaps it was because His Majesty Leo was out in the city for reconstruction, but Christo had also come to help with the reconstruction many times.
''''Oh! Son! You''re here again today!
Shut the f*ck up, Dad. Use your stupid skills to move this pile of rubble.
I''m on it!
Even if the people around them tried to stop them, they would help themselves.
I didn''t think that Christo would do it either, as His Majesty Leo would always do such things.
I asked him before why he would stop the prince''s work in the middle of the day and come to the city to help with the reconstruction.
''The people like my father because he can do that kind of thing behind the scenes,'' he said. That''s why the Kingdom of Begonia is stable, with no rebellion. I don''t know how many years it will be, but I''m going to be king too. I don''t want the people to say, ''My father was better than me'' when he changes, because I don''t want the people to say, ''My father was better than me. I have an ulterior motive, and I do things like that.
Christo said with a grin.
''''Well you''re thinking in your own way, aren''t you?
That''s because I don''t think about it like my father did. It''s amazing what an idiot like that can do without thinking, and he''s so admired as a king.
Christo is not a talker, but he seems to understand the awesomeness of his parent, His Majesty Leo.
Perhaps His Majesty Leo is a person who is born to be above others.
He may not be aware of it, but what he''s doing is two sides of the same coin, and that''s why I like him.
He''s probably the type of ruler who shows people what he does and leads people around him.
That''s why when he acts without thinking about it, people see it and want to follow him.
That''s the kind of ruler that has a natural talent.
Even if he imitated His Majesty Leo''s actions and aimed at them, ordinary people wouldn''t be effective.
Knowing this, Christo is trying to become a king who is as good as His Majesty Leo.
He can''t imitate him, so he thinks and thinks and acts, so that he can go even higher.
But Christo, I know.
I know that you can do the same thing that His Majesty Leo did.
He saved my life when he saved me in a previous life.
I respected you for doing things that you would never have done if you hadn''t tried to impress people.
"Good luck, my next king.
Yeah, I''m on it.
Me and Christo are fists together.
When you''re king, I will be right beside you, I will be there for you.
And today.
I''m leaving King''s Landing on a spy mission.
The three of us going with you will be the same, Tina and Yurina-san.
Just like when I did Christo''s escort, I had been getting ready since early morning.
There was a carriage in front of the dormitory, and we finished carrying our bags to it.
''Eric, we''re done over here,''
Same here.
All right, I''ll take the lead on this one.
You''re in charge.
On this trip, me and Yulina-san will take turns being the guru.
''I''m sorry, I couldn''t do it,''
No, I''ll be fine. I''ll rely on magic for that.
''Yes! I got it!
Tina had been practicing the magic required for spies, so she hadn''t practiced dealing with horses.
It seemed that she was being taught magic by Commander Anne, who was staying with her.
''''Are you finished with your preparations?''''
As soon as we finished our preparations, Jere and Liberto-san arrived.
Behind them, Commander Anne is also there.
''''Yes, we''re done.''''
Good. You know where you''re going first, and so on, don''t you?
Of course.
I''ve already been told where to go, what information to get, and so on.
I''ve never been on a spy mission before.
I know there are a lot of things I don''t understand, but I have to make sure I do it right.
In order to gain advantage in the war against the Lynda Empire, the information we gain on our spy mission is important.
And we have to find Elena-san while on our spy mission.
I know it''s hard to find her while performing the mission well, but it''s not an exaggeration to say that that''s why I took this mission.
It''s espionage, and if they find out about such an act, they could be killed.
We have to brace ourselves.
You will do your duty well, sir.
Yes, sir.
I''m sorry, sir.
Well, good luck with that.
Liberto-san said that with a light laugh.
I was just trying to get my mind off of it, but I''m kind of letting my guard down....
''''Eric, don''t let your guard down.
'' Yes, I know.
Liberto-san said just that and turned away and went back with a light wave of his hand.
Our conversation was over and I looked at Tina and saw that she was talking to Commander Anne.
''''Anne, where is Viviana-san?''''
She''s still sleeping.
...that''s impressive.
If it were true, it seems that the deputy commander Viviana-san was supposed to be here as well, but.....
It''s the same as usual, and on the contrary, I''m somewhat relieved.
''''Hang in there, Tina Aulin. Be on your guard.''''
Yes!
We finish talking over there and we get into the carriage.
I go to the driver''s seat and Tina and Yulina go to the carriage.
We''re going on a mission.
I''ll try my best!
I''ll do my best, sir.
We said that to Jere and Commander Anne, and we set off.
The espionage for the war against the Lynda Empire had now begun.
