Gon mutters with a yawn. Indeed, I am. I\'d like to go sightseeing in the capital, but as usual I\'m under surveillance. I\'m not sure if I can go out without permission. Well, I\'ll give it a try.

"It\'s a wonderful city, by the way. I\'d like to take a tour of this wonderful capital.

I read it completely in a barbed voice, but I said it loud enough to be heard by the watchmen anyway. Ah, one of the guards next to me moved. After a while, Seono came in.

"Do you have any plans for the rest of the day? If not, I will show you around the Imperial City..."

Quick! I thought I knew what he had in store for me, but I gratefully accepted his offer.

The city was more prosperous than I had imagined. The royal capital of the Jukka Kingdom was clearly divided into merchant districts, residential areas, and so on, but the imperial capital seems to pay little attention to such areas. One place has a concentration of stores like a shopping street, while the back of the shopping street is a residential area. The streets are functional in a good sense. In the royal city, stone houses were predominant, but in the imperial city, houses, especially those of ordinary citizens, are wooden. Somehow, the atmosphere of the city seems to be the same as that of Japan in the previous era.

There was also a pleasant discovery. To my surprise, rice was on sale! Naturally, there will be glutinous rice as well. In the capital, most of the rice, azuki beans, and other legumes are used to feed livestock, so the prices were extremely cheap. It might be the first time in a long time to eat rice. The gold coins circulated in the capital can be used in the capital as well, so I should go buy some when I find some free time.

I also found out the secret of the shower. It is said that they use magic crystals, which are petrified by magic power. They have attributes such as fire, water, wind, earth, and thunder, and are made by combining each of them. As Seono is not a craftsman, I could not ask him about the detailed structure, but this was also a good harvest.

I could not buy many things since I was under the watchful eye of my escort, but I bought a shirt, pants, and underwear for daily wear, as well as a formal dress and shoes for a dinner party. The formal wear was custom-made, as expected, but they said they would make it by tomorrow noon. I was glad to see that kindness, so I also bought a shirt and a tie at the store.

The next day was also a sightseeing tour of the capital. We were shown the theater, the university, and the headquarters of the Imperial Army. It seems to be a country with a high level of culture and education, while focusing on military affairs.

We pick up the formal wear we ordered yesterday and head for the residence of the Prime Minister. Gon is at home as usual.

Tonight was a private dinner. There is no need for such reverence.

The Prime Minister laughs, but he himself is dressed in formal attire. I\'m glad I forced myself to make him a formal dress.

Next to His Excellency is a beautifully dressed lady. Her name is Isara. As for her age... I was afraid to ask the lady. I guessed she was an old but graceful lady.

Without any introductions, the dinner party begins as it should. The Prime Minister explains to his wife that I was to be adopted by the Barsam family and that I had an audience with the Emperor. I enjoy the food with a wry smile on my face.

"Sorry I\'m late.

A young man came in. He is dressed quite well. He also has a very good sword. I will give him a quick appraisal.

The royal family has arrived. Who the hell is this guy? What are you doing here? I smell trouble. Well, I was prepared for this when I was summoned to the Prime Minister\'s house.

This is His Highness Weiras. He is the second son of the Emperor and second in line of succession to the throne.

I get up and try to kneel.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Don\'t be such a hard ass. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute. Make yourself comfortable."

From the looks of him, intelligence is in his face. His eyes are not smiling like those of His Highness the Regent of the Kingdom of Juka. He seems to be a hawkish person. But why is the second son of the emperor here? What is his relationship with the Prime Minister? I wondered.

"As a matter of fact, His Highness Weiras is also our grandson. His daughter Sherié serves in the palace. There she and His Majesty... Well, His Highness here is like a relative.

Grandson! That\'s why the Prime Minister is where he is today!

"I have one favor to ask of you. You can refuse if you don\'t want to. If you don\'t like it, you can refuse. I\'d like to ask you to guard the royal family.

I am told that the Crown Prince is currently alive and well, but is sickly, reclusive, and gentle. This in itself is not a problem, but the problem is his sister, the First Princess Lycorette, who is the older sister of His Highness Prince Vilas. She is a strong-minded and ambitious woman, and it seems that she is planning to take over the reigns of the Emperor with the accession of her elder brother to the throne, and to become his backer.

Naturally, the First Princess alone cannot do anything, but this is aristocratic society. There are a surprisingly large number of people who would like to carry such a lightweight palanquin, and she is said to be secretly gaining support especially from the second and third sons of the nobility, the so-called "cold feeders".

It is said that the First Princess has recently been trying to take action behind the scenes. In short, there is a movement to attack her younger brother\'s palace and sister\'s palace. Probably, they are planning to slowly incorporate the royal family into their own faction by making such threats.......how shallow.

However, you never know what these idiots will do. And they are worse because they are members of the royal family. The emperor has already reached his old age and has lost his youthful vigor. He does not want his children to be purged and wants a peaceful resolution.

"Normally it would be best if I were to become a vassal and take over the Duke of Gremont\'s house, but with the way my brother is," he said. I don\'t know when he will fall. At the very least, I have to wait until my brother has a son before I can make a move.

In fact, it is said that His Highness Weiras here has also been attacked by those around him.

"What I would like you to do is to guard His Highness Weiras and the three princesses below."

Hm? The idiot who attacked me in the forests of Lunois, wasn\'t he also a member of the Heedata royal family? I knew he died in the woods.

"I thought there was another member of the royal family, Your Highness?"

".......You served the Bartham family, as expected. There\'s no point in hiding it. His third son, His Highness Thearius, is currently imprisoned.

Well, you made it through the forest of Lunois.

"As soon as he heard what was happening in the kingdom of Juka, he rode on the Emperor\'s horse with his own men and tutors to defeat the Demon King. To say the least, it was an outrageous act. I must say, he was a somewhat problematic highness who was even rumored to be killing and maiming common people in the shadows of the night.

Indeed, it had the "curse" skill, didn\'t it?

"After an exhaustive search, he was found delirious in the forest of Lunois. A healing magician is now casting healing spells every day, but I wonder when he will recover. His Highness\'s subordinate was wounded in a direct battle with the Demon Lord, but he is alive. He, too, is imprisoned. As for the tutor, his whereabouts are unknown.

Oh! So Ilimo was the Emperor\'s horse after all. It\'s a good thing I put up wards to hide his horns and wings. Those homicidal maniacs are still alive. Well, I\'m the only one who can heal them and I doubt they\'ll ever be freed from their imprisonment.

"Back to the point. That\'s why I need you to take over the royal guard. At least until the Crown Prince has a son and Vilas becomes a subject.

"But I\'m warding level 2.

"The guard is only needed when the royal family goes out. The court warder guards the palace grounds. The Berthaums have the house warded all day long, don\'t they? Thanks to this, the imperial envoys sent to the house were blocked by the wards, much to their embarrassment. Be that as it may, I am asking you for a favor because of your skill."

"Okay. Let me think about it for a minute.

"There is no need to think so hard. All you have to do is to create a warding business or something. You will have to protect the royal family, but other than that, you can take whatever you like. Of course, we will pay you. Otherwise, the army will come to recruit you. Those with warding skills are very valuable. If you want to live a life of accompanying the army and fighting in battlefields around the world, that\'s fine, too.

I absolutely hate that kind of life. I just want to live in peace and tranquility. In the end, I decided not to give an answer that day and headed home. When I left the house, I was left alone with his highness Weiras,

"Grandfather really wants to hire you at Gremont. I\'m sure he does. Even your grandfather has many enemies. He\'s such an obsessive warder. I\'d be happy to have him by my side."

The Prime Minister and His Highness both speak softly to me. Once again, I return to my room, dragging my tired body with me.
