Royal Capital of Levania

“Here I am at last…”

I’ve arrived in the country of Levania.

It’s been a while since my hero appointment ceremony.

I haven’t set foot in the country since I came back.

So, why did I come?

I hadn’t been in the mood to go, but Garthas had asked me several times.

After all, it was the country that had betrayed me, so I had mixed feelings.

But there was no point in avoiding it for a long time, so here I was.

“Oh, here you are.”

Garthas was waiting for me in a park in the center of the city.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I’m relieved to see it haven’t changed that much.”

“It’s changed quite a bit. There used to be a statue of Cain at the fountain in this park. It was destroyed after the coup and there’s no trace of it now.”

“Why did you do it?”

“I guess they built it so that he would be remembered as a hero. Well, it’ll go down in history in a different way.”

I was relieved to see that life in the city was pretty normal and not much had changed.

Garthas took me to his house.

“You really are a nobleman…”

“You didn’t believe me, did you? Well, I’m not a nobleman anymore. Hey, I’ve brought Noel!”

When I entered the entrance with Garthas, a woman came out from the back.

“Welcome. My name is Millesia Edvard, wife of Garthas-sama.”

The woman who showed up was a lady with a sense of elegance.

I wonder if this is what “Beauty and the Beast” is all about.

Garthas is a beast, but he’s one of the good-looking ones.

I’m not going to say it, though.
