56 56. In the carriage




 In the shaking carriage, Aena and Mercier were seated next to Iris and me.
 We're going to head towards the Kuro Wolf Knights in the Fenkor district.
 During the next three days, they would follow a predetermined route.
 First of all, we were going to visit the headquarters of the Order.
 Of course, it was only accessible to the general public.
 Even though they were girls, Aena and Mercier were both military men - in that sense, they might have recruited more people who could fight from a younger age than the Kingdom.
 Even in the moving carriage, Iris and Aena continued to talk in the form of a meeting.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
"Yes, we're going to check out a few places and then talk to each other to decide what to do. My purpose is only to observe.

 Aena's expression is sharp as she looks over the documents, and she exudes a sense of intimidation that you wouldn't expect from a girl.
 Her black military uniform makes her look even more distinguished.
 Next to her, Mercier was calmly looking over the documents as well.
 Iris and I followed suit, reading the documents together.
 But Iris and I had already finished checking the documents.
 ...... For the past three days, we have of course been paying close attention to security. The knight who operates the carriage has also been dispatched by the Knights, and the Knights' guards will follow from a short distance away.
 They don't form a conspicuous line - which, in the end, seemed to suit the girl Aena.

There seems to be a lot of security for me.
I'm sorry, but this is the least I can do.
I don't mean to be sarcastic either. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, after all, the Princess of the Sword is guarding me herself. And .......

 Aena glanced at me.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ...... Maybe she doesn't like children?

(Or does she think I'm an escort ......? I'm sure most people won't notice that from the start.)

 I'm used to being judged by my looks. I'm used to being judged by my appearance, because I'm just a kid to anyone who sees me as I usually am.
 I'm sure Aena doesn't realize that it's me who's in charge of this convoy.

I'd like to say, "...... I don't need a guard like this," but I think I understand my value. If anything happens to me, I'll be in big trouble, that's for sure.
I'm glad you understand.
"Well, at least I know my place. And I'd like you to reduce your numbers when you visit.
Ah! Master Aena.

 Mercier immediately opened his mouth to condemn Aena's words and actions.
 But Aena put out her hand and stopped her.

I can protect myself, too. I understand what you're thinking, of course, and that's why I'm talking about reducing the number of concessions.
It's .......

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 That's what I sensed when she didn't come with the group.
 Honestly speaking, she is a guest of honor -- she should have more guards, but

(Well, it's a good thing I'm always around .......)

 I nodded, holding back the urge to sigh.
 At least I can cover the work of guarding dozens of knights by myself to some extent.
 To put it bluntly, I'm telling you to work with more energy than usual.

(I'll pay for the reduced number of knights. ...... Well, I guess I can get some extra pay from the Commander.)

 I finished my calculations quickly.
The organization of the 《Kuro Wolf Knights》 escort was decided by me and Remyll through discussion.
 I know the members to a certain extent, but I have gathered a group of people with a certain level of ability.
 It's no wonder - there's no point in bringing an inferior force to protect Aena.
 On top of that, if you consider the burden on me,......, I think it's enough to cover.
 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I understand. We'll regroup and take care of the escort when we get to headquarters.
Thank you for understanding so quickly. Now, let's go sightseeing in King's Landing.
Miss Aena.
...... will get you to King's Landing.
(You said "sightseeing." ......)

 (You said "sightseeing." ......) There was something about this girl Aena that made me feel that she was not only a soldier, but that she was also appropriate for her age.
 Thus, the four of us headed to the Order's headquarters for the time being. During that time, there were no major problems.
