Volume 2, Chapter 1 – Cecil and Fran
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After deciding to make Fran our companion, I took her back to the village.
“I have returned, Cecil.”
I knocked on the door of the room, and when I did, it was opened immediately.
“Welcome home, Allan-sama. Also, I deeply apologize for not being able to attend you today.”
She lowered her head to me right after, in which I waved my hand.
“Don’t worry about it, if-else, I should be the one to apologize for not holding back. Is your body alright now?”
“Yes, thanks to Allan-sama.”
While hearing such a story, I was poked at the back by Fran.
I think it would mean, “Hey, don’t leave me out here.”
For that, I switched the topics and went straight right away.
“Oh, Uhm, Cecil, there is something I would like to introduce to you.”
“Introduce……to me?”
Before Cecil, who went puzzled, I brought Fran in.
I asked for her to wear a hooded robe before we came here, but now I took it off.
“…… I’m Fran Mason. As you can see, I’m a half-elf.”
Fran introduced herself while looking down slightly.
As expected, did she still have that resistance when talking to anyone other than me?
“Ah, while I was hanging around all day, I got acquainted with Fran along the way.”
Because Fran went utterly silent after speaking her name, I supplemented her.
“Fran-san, right? I am Cecil Mir. My role is to watch over the prince. Nice meeting you.”
Cecil’s reaction is still the usual, as if not minding Fran’s issue of being a half-elf at all.
It was a kind reaction, as expected of her.
“I, I am……”
Cecil extended her hand towards her, but Fran, seems to be puzzled on what to do, could only mutter.
“Don’t tell me, you don’t know what a handshake is?”
When I said so, she urged herself to extend her hand.
Cecil grasped it with hers right away.
“I hope to get along with you, Fran-san.”
Cecil spoke with a smile.
As if pulled by the tension with that unexpected smile she received, which was different from others who have treated her, Fran, in return, grasped back her hand, too.
Seeing the two people’s faces, I held a sigh of relief and let the two people sit on the desk of the room. I then proceeded to the main topic immediately.
“You see, I’m thinking of taking Fran along to our journey.”
“That’s, Isn’t that quite drastic, Allan-sama?”
Cecil was caught in surprise.
Well, it’s natural because there were no such plans with someone joining us.
“To tell you the truth……”
From there, I told everything that happened today to Cecil.
Eventually, when I was done, she nodded once.
“I understand what Allan-sama is thinking. I approve of it. And because there is still room for your travel expenses, there won’t be a problem.”
“……Wow, though I somewhat expected something like this, you sure have admitted to it pretty fast.”
Of course, I didn’t expect Cecil to discriminate against the half-elves, not one bit.
However, I expected something like complaining about discipline or morals or so.
“We aim to unify the world, after all. Something like being half-elves should be no big deal for us.”
Well, if you say it that way, it certainly should.
As a matter of fact, about half of my head is already filled with the pleasure of traveling from hereafter, but of course, I won’t say it.
“So, what can we do about Fran’s position?”
“I am the prince’s servant.”
As if her self-introduction earlier was a lie, Fran spoke out bluntly.
“Servant, you say? Though here are some parts to which overlaps with my role……”
“I will do the miscellaneous chores around the prince. You can continue to just be his watchdog.”
“……! I, even I have been with Allan-sama for many years……”
This is bad, a hair-triggering crisis have appeared.
Because Fran has been bullied until now, her communication skills are not that great.
Though she doesn’t mean any harm, her present words could be received as a provocation.
Cecil is usually gentle, but becomes a little bit more emotional when it comes to relationships.
I am glad to be surrounded by beautiful women, but spare me the scene of bloodshed!
“Both of you, let’s talk of the plans from hereafter……”
By talking in a slightly louder voice, I split the bad atmosphere building up.
The two got flustered, but eventually regained their calm, so somehow, the quarrel was avoided.
It seems I have succeeded in getting them along while advancing the conversation between the two as it is.
However, it seems that a small lump of a problem was still left out.
That night, though we slept like the “川” character with me at the center as the bed’s not big enough for us, both sides held me tight to their side, making it impossible for me to do even a slight movement. As such, that night, I only spent myself in agony.
※
The next day, we received the letter permitting us to cross over the border to the Country of Fairies.
I talked with the village chief that I will be bringing Fran with me, in which he looked at me like he was very grateful.
For them, it seems that the troublemaker of their village will be gone at last.
This may be the Elves’ common beliefs, but still, it’s a little sad.
On the other hand, after entering the Country of the Fairies, the trip went smoothly throughout.
There are too many fairies that welcomed us along the way, as if the country had told every single people in their country about our coming.
In a few days, our group arrived at their castle, where the King of Spirits resided.
And now, I am waiting in that castle at this very moment.
Having served with tea in a luxurious reception room, we were now standing by.
Its beautiful decorations showed not a single inferiority compared to our castle.
In the Country of Elves, there are many articles made from natural wood and ores/crystals.
It seems that the Country of Fairies does not differ by much either.
However, there are still some items that I could not imagine how they were processed on the inside.
Maybe it is the product of magic.
Will I also be able to make something like this if I can use magic?
I went around the room while thinking about those things, but eventually, I have finished seeing through everything.
I sat on the chair afterward and spoke to Cecil, who was in front of me.
“As expected of a nation we’re friends with, to be able to pass us through the castle very quickly.”
“Quite so. Besides, we finally saw fairies from the first time, and they were similar from what I have heard.”
I recalled the figure of the fairy that guided us through here.
Aside from their similar size to us, It’s most noticeable characteristic is the wings that grow from their backs.
As for its shape and size, it is quite similar to insects, its two pairs of wings are about one meter in length and are semi-transparent.
They didn’t flap like a dragonfly, though. It seems that they could float in the air by channeling magic through their wings.
For their remaining characteristics, it’s wearing considerably thin clothes. It was really pretty eye-catching.
Because ordinary elves have elegant disposition, they usually don’t try to wear gaudy outfits like these.
It was almost practically like swimsuits, too. If Cecil and Fran were to wear them……
“Prince, did you think something naughty? In that case, shall I let one out for you?”
“Wait for a moment here. This is the royal castle!?”
Cecil stopped the tempting Fran.
The air has tensed in an instant.
It seems that they haven’t completely opened up to each other yet.
At that time, a subject of the Fairy King returned.
“We apologize for keeping you waiting, Allan-sama.”
“Nay, I didn’t wait that long. So when could we meet His Majesty, the Fairy King?”
“His Majesty is pretty busy at the moment, but he would like to meet with you by tomorrow.”
“Understood. Then we will come by again.”
Indeed, if you are the ruler of a country, you’ll have a lot of work to do.
I should already be thankful that it had granted an audience for me.
A bit of a trivia, but fairies are as long-lived species as the elves.
Judging from the time interval, you could already say that the next day is already too early.
“That is not it. His Majesty has told me to welcome and make the prince feel entertained. Please stay in the castle in the meantime.”
“I-I see. Then, shall we get going?”
Tch, and here I thought that I could get around the town and hook with some beautiful fairies!
I would have tied Cecil up and went to the bar already, where incredible beauties might have been waiting.
Then if the mood goes better, we would have done it in a Fairy Brothel or something like that.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t decline the goodwill of the Fairy King.
And thus, we stayed at the royal castle in the meantime.
