Chapter 2: Harmonia (3)
It wasn't particularly formal.
I left the room in the same clothes I was wearing before.
Lennon, Anne, and Hera were on their way out of the room just in time.
Jamie built the J-Network to share the consciousness of the three of them with his own.
- Can you hear me?
- Yes, I can hear you.
-I can hear you well.
- I hear you.
The J-Network was a virtual consciousness network created by Jamie that could link the consciousness of the person he designated.
It was a higher level magic of telepathy, which allowed them to freely communicate with each other within the network.
On their way to the king's audience, they chatted.
Most of it was about first impressions of this place.
- There's too much bluff here. It feels like it was made too hard.
-It's a bit suffocating because the room is covered with colorful decorations that hurt your eyes.
- I feel like it's too much.
Jamie agreed with them.
Look at this road to the audience right now.
A city is inherently artificial, but this place has a particularly artificial feeling.
In particular, the faces of people walking down the street seemed to be forced to smile, but actually, their eyes weren't smiling.
"We will arrive at the audience soon."
At the guide's words, I saw a building built near the horse tower.
It is said that it was built for the king, but it looked like it had just been built.
At least 2-3 years.
I couldn't understand why it was built next to the replacement tower.
Although the tower was quite far from the palace, it was not far enough to build a new building.
Above all, the exterior of the building was as splendid as the royal castle.
All kinds of magic stones were embedded in it for decoration, and purified water was continuously flowing from the large fountain in front.
- There is nothing like this in our estate.
Lennon's estate was Rezen, the best commercial city in the Kingdom of Seldam.
Lennon, the son of the owner of the city where the most money circulates, was also a bit dazed as he had never seen such a glamorous thing.
Meaningless ornaments of the master of the mage came to mind.
-Do people in Harmonia basically like things like this?
- Probably not.
Hera said as she tucked her hair behind her ears.
-If it were, the Liberation Army would not have risen. It can be seen as a form of excessive luxury concentrated in the capital.
-Other peoples.
-Did you not see the faces of people on the way?
-I was smiling... The eyes were not smiling.
Anne, who had a good eye, seemed to recognize it right away.
Jamie spoke without expression.
-right. it's decorated forced to be happy.
- Why?
- Because I told you to do that.
- the king?
- A king or a nobleman.
I don't know the details, but a normal person wouldn't consider it normal to see this place.
As we talked like that, we arrived at the building where the King of Harmonia was waiting.
From the entrance, a door that looked like a diamond was waiting for you. It may not be a real diamond, but it seems to have been mixed to some extent.
I had no idea how much money it would take to make something like this.
"Come in."
When the guide politely opened the door, waiting servants flocked to them.
"We will meet you from here."
Following them again, a door leading to a large hall appeared.
It wasn't an ordinary door either, but it wasn't surprising that he was immune thanks to what he had seen so far.
As I stood in front of the door, I heard a loud voice from inside.
"The master of the Kingdom of Seldam and the archmage who is praised for his greatest talent, Sir Welton Jr., will enter!"
A large door opened wide with an unfamiliar introduction.
The red carpet spread out, the nobles of Harmonia lined up from side to side, and the king of Harmonia who sat obliquely on the throne on the stairs at the end of the carpet came into view.
As soon as the door opened, a band waiting a little behind the nobles greeted them playing all kinds of instruments.
-burden.
I knew they would be welcome, but I didn't expect it to be this much.
It wasn't incomprehensible.
Since he was none other than a Master dispatched from Seldam, it must have been this kind of hospitality in order to show off even a little.
'And They must have wanted to show off that they were like this.'
If it was called the royal castle, it would have been more splendidly welcomed, but it must have been a plan to approach the precious guest favorably, using the pretext that the king had come directly.
Jamie and the party welcomed them and walked in front of King Harmonia.
The closer I got, the better I could see the king's face, but to be honest, I had nothing to say because it was ridiculous.
'what? You look like that poor man.'
It wasn't that I was sitting at an angle on purpose, but because my body had few muscles, I had no choice but to sit at an angle.
Just by looking at the wide, bloodshot eyes, and the dark lips around his mouth, he could not be seen as a hostess who welcomed guests.
- No, I'm completely ignorant... .
- You look like someone who hasn't slept in a few days?
-fatigue And even though I covered it with perfume, it smells pretty good.
Perhaps everyone had the same thoughts as Jamie, and they said one word at a time through J-Network.
In the meantime, Hera even caught the smell of alcohol wafting through the perfume, showing how developed her nose was.
It was a terrifying smell.
However, even when they came all the way to the front, the king remained silent and did not say anything.
Jamie narrowed her eyes and looked closer, seeing that the king's focus was on a strange place, not on them.
- It's completely gone.
-on?
Anne looked up at Jamie with a surprised look, but she didn't bother to look at her because of the large number of eyes.
At that time, the servant who was standing next to the king cautiously approached the king. He was an impressive man with green jewels hanging from both ears, and he whispered softly into the king's ear.
'sire. Calm down.'
Jamie's excellent hearing picked up even the smallest sound.
'Hey. This is amazing.'
Did you mean that you were lost in front of your guests?
As we watch how far Jamie goes, things far worse than the previous ones.
Eh? what. Why am I here?"
Like a man who had just woken up, King Cyprus rose from his seat and looked around.
Then, looking at the aristocrats and bands gathered, he frowned.
"What else are you doing? Why are you doing this here?"
sire.
uh? Helm. What is this?"
"The guests have come from the Kingdom of Seldam."
"Seldam? Why in Seldam? Ah! Jamie Wellton!"
As if he was crazy, the king said he just remembered. He smiled like a madman and looked at Jamie standing down the stairs.
"But who are you?"
"Sir Welton Jr. is coming."
Ah ah ah ah ah! this this. best talent! But why are you so tall? Being 13 years old."
"Even at the age of 13, sometimes big people like that appear."
"Well. Sometimes there are people like that. But why am I here?"
King Cyprus returned to the origin.
Lennon, Anne, and Hera's expressions were slightly distorted.
- What the hell are you doing... .
- Master. What is this... !
- Elder.
The party said one word at a time, but Jamie only smiled and watched the scene.
Marquis Helm said to the king with a smile, wondering if he could do it any more.
"You seem unwell, so please stop."
alcohol! Colonel alcohol!"
"I've been drinking alcohol, so you can follow the author."
One of the servants waiting downstairs bowed his head and said to King Cyprus.
sire. Your spirit will guide you."
"Do it! Hahaha!
The king staggered and followed his servant.
The hall was quiet as if a storm had passed.
As the king's presence disappeared, Marquis Helm, who had been smiling and staring at the place, looked at Jamie and the others with the same expression on their face.
"I'm sorry for this. Your Majesty was very sick yesterday, and it seems that you are not feeling well now."
sick. it's body i See.
Jamie smiled and nodded as if she could.
"Thank you for your understanding. We wanted to make the welcome ceremony more grandiose, but the situation is like this, and you'll be hungry, so let's go eat right away. I have everything ready."
The welcome ceremony was over in less than five minutes.
Jamie thought it was a really fun country.
* * *
- This is not a country.
It was Lennon's words.
As the second son of one of the most prestigious noble families in Seldam, he was quite angry with Harmonia's hospitality.
- It's only the outside, and everything is a fist bump. There is no system. There is a king, but it is not a country for the servants to stand at the same height as the king at will, and even to send the king out first.
- I think that person is real.
- I will. Perhaps it is a level that shakes the state government arbitrarily.
