"Yes, you have arrived. This is where you will be staying for the time being. This is where you will live and educate your children. And while you are living here, I hope that you will get used to this village.

　Mr. Alphonse took me to the village of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a place surrounded by walls so large that it was hard to believe that it was really a village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, are they really calling it a village?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know much about other places, but it looks like a fortress or something. .......

　Here in the village of Barca, surrounded by walls and inhabited only by armed men, was a sort of base.

　The wall is so high that you have to look straight up to see the top of it, and it is called the Wall of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that even the giant Atmos Warrior cannot go over the wall.

　After passing through the gate in the wall, we went further and found a large building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that this is where Master Alphonse lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is an unusual building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a brick-only building, which is not common in the Orient, but perhaps this is the building of the country beyond the sacred mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The building is all bricks and has many beautiful and large glass windows, giving it a feeling of openness.

"Ms. Kristina, this house is quite an unusual structure, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is. It was designed based on a building in Vulcania, the Sky Kingdom, where Mr. Alphonse is from.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sky Kingdom?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. I've never been there myself, but I heard that the country of your birth floats in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No way. I don't believe it when you say it's like a fairy tale."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's true. I mean, there's even a flying castle in a place called Valiant at the foot of the mountain. The mercenaries who live there are aware of it and are looking at you in awe. After all, the king of the sky kingdom is Alphonse's brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So I guess that means he's the king's brother. Why would such a person be in such a foreign land?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"From what I've heard, they're looking for a place to fight. I heard that the Kingdom of the Sky is so peaceful that there are no opportunities to fight, but I guess Mr. Alphonse didn't like that.

　I talk with Christina, who came to this village in the same carriage with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more she tells me about Master Alphonse, the more surprised I am.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was also surprised to hear that he would take on so many prostitutes of the Orient at once, but it seems that there is a good reason for that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seems to have been royalty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not surprising then, that they would spend money like this.

"Laura, from your point of view, how is Mr. Alphonse?　You've heard of the Barca Mercenaries, even in high-class brothels, haven't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Of course, in the course of my work, I have heard many stories. Among them, of course, I have heard about the activities of the mercenaries who have emerged in recent years. I hear they are doing quite well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Barka Mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember hearing the name from the time of the war between the countries of Glugaria and the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sudden appearance of these mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that they had a great success in their first battle against the Bulgarian state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not the leader of the mercenaries who was the talk of the town at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the giants in the mercenary company that people were talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Atmos warriors who transform into giants and display unparalleled strength on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once upon a time, the name of the Warrior of Atmos was heard in many battlefields, but in recent years, it has become rare to hear of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now they have appeared and settled in this country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could it not be a topic of conversation?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, amidst such talk of Titans, the name of the leader of the mercenary group was occasionally mentioned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was rumored that he was still a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A small boy was said to be out on the battlefield with a giant in tow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was also said that the boy was strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had defeated a warrior called Meteor, one of the most famous of the archers of Grougalia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it true?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I heard such a story while I was still in the brothel, I couldn't help but be skeptical.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could such a thing be done to a child?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if he went to the battlefield, he might have just followed along like a child of a noble family in some other country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is what I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now I know that is not the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have never been on the battlefield, but I have met many times on business with soldiers of the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has the same dignity as those warriors of the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how he can have such an appearance at his age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I could sense that he is not just a man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think the fact that he is royalty has something to do with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alphonse Barca is not a boy who stays in a village like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This feeling grew stronger in me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think so too. That's why I decided to stay with Alphonse instead of being an independent merchant. I bet my life on him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I share my thoughts with Kristina, she replies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess she is just as much into the boy as I am, if not more so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That came through very well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your intuition has always been right. But still, is it really okay to call a royalty, Mr. Alphonse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. I have permission. If you want, I can ask Laura to call you that too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I don't know if that's okay.　Will you allow me to do that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know. But I'm sure you'll find that Alphonse will do anything you ask him to. You're not like most men, you're more open-minded. I'll ask him later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if he's not as picky about his status as I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that would certainly help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I was sure that they would not give permission to me, who had been a prostitute until just a few days ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, afterwards, Ms. Kristina talked me through the matter, and for some reason, I was allowed to call him Mr. Alphonse as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus began my life with the eccentric royal Alphonse.
