“We’ve notified them, so we have to go.”
At Aldwin’s response, Roo tightened her grip on the reins. Well then. The deed was done, and now she was pleased to be able to see beyond the barrier.
She entered through the gate. Her heart was beating furiously. Would a monster attack immediately? Her longcultivated vigilance was at its peak.
“Wow.”
Aldwin involuntarily exclaimed.
What filled Roo’s eyes was not the dull sky, sticky mud, and grotesquely twisted trees. They were walking under a sky dyed a light blue. No, to be exact, it was a road as transparent as reflecting the sky.
The sunny weather, the towering road, and far in the distance was a white city, far grander and more beautiful than the famous Catat, displaying its majesty.
This was what lay outside the barrier.
“It’s completely different from what we saw from outside the door?”
He had only seen a simply paved brick road, but it was so beautiful. Aldwin looked around, admiring.
“Be careful. All of this could be an illusion.”
Eliza warned, but Aldwin didn’t look like he was listening.
“What illusion magic could be this sophisticated? They can’t even use magic at our level.”
“Aldwin. From now on, you need to watch your words.”
Roo stopped Aldwin immediately. His mouth, not anything else, was the problem.
People who were clearly waiting for them were seen in the distance on the road. Yes, they were humans, not monsters. Roo dismounted at an appropriate distance. They approached as well.
“Welcome. Welcome to the Perseta Empire.”
What was beyond the barrier? The monsters that broke through the barrier had slaughtered, and the knights had focused on defense.
As the battle continued, Roo naturally questioned what was beyond the barrier that kept the monsters coming out, and why couldn’t we cross it?
No one could cross it, or those drawn to the monsters were all missing and never returned, Rustica Gennes finally passed through. And she saw it clearly with her own eyes.
“……Directly under the Calleta Emperor, Perseta’s dispatch officer, Rustica Gennes.”
Ordinary, identical, beautiful people, and beautiful scenery.
‘This can’t be.’
Roo wanted to rub her eyes if they were not her seeing eyes. In the blue sky, feathers like white clouds scattered, and the giant floating road was not just a road but transparent like glass.
At the end of that giant road, the distant white city sitting like a painting was truly beautiful. The straight walls and buildings, and the translucent ring enveloping the building at the top were clearly made by magicians, not constructed.
“Welcome, Sir Gennes. I am Simon Kainberg, a court officer sent by His Majesty, the Emperor of the Perseta Empire. Rustica Gennes, two escorts, and one servant. That’s right.”
Sir Simon Kainberg was a tall, slender man with a monocle.
Was he in his mid30s? He had neatly shaved and combed his black hair with a blue sheen over.
He was tall and lanky, dressed in a neat and dignified suit fitting his status as a court minister. Over it, he wore a halfmantle made of black velvet on one shoulder.
“We have prepared the carriage. Please get in.”
Each and every detail was so cautious that even getting into the carriage seemed suspicious, as if it could be a trap.
But even if it were a trap, there was no turning back now. As long as the diplomatic appointment from Emperor Kaleta was in her possession, she had to keep moving forward.
Riga, a male character, politely opened the door, and after glancing at the knights, climbed into the carriage.
‘These are welltrained knights.’
The attire and bearing of the knights escorting them were as exceptional as the knights of the Kaleta Empire. Duke Simon Kainberg, a court minister who got into the carriage with her, didn’t change his expression even after looking at the young woman, Riga.
“The Emperor awaits you in the imperial palace.”
“I see. The city ahead must be the imperial city of Perseta.”
“It’s called Shalea.”
In the past, there were rumors and legends about a great magic controlling monsters beyond the barrier, or a Demon King, or various other tales. In any case, the common speculation was that it was a barren land where only monsters roamed.
In stark contrast, a very beautiful white city appeared. It seemed like magic, but illusion magic can easily be detected, the more complex it is. It’s dry and lifeless.
Riga couldn’t think of the fresh air, the bright sunshine, and the cool breeze as magic.
“It’s beautiful.”
The city of the fiercely fought monsters, which she thought would be dirty, unpleasant, full of smoke, and filled with sticky mud, shone bright and elegant.
Unlike the towering Catart, Shalea was full of round curves. Yet, it didn’t forget its majesty. This city definitely harbored a very long history.
“Yes, it is beautiful.”
Duke Simon Kainberg seemed to be surprised that she would say such a thing. Though he managed his expression very well, there was pride overflowing in his voice as he replied.
