Chapter 1629: Lost High Elf ⑩
Guided by Laguna-san, we were to move to Hydra Kingdom’s royal castle, when I suddenly remembered that this was the first time for me to visit Hydra Kingdom’s royal castle.
[Come to think of it, this is the first time for me to visit Hydra Kingdom’s royal castle. I mean, from this position, I can’t really see that castle.]
[Ahh, I know what you mean. It’s not possible to see the castle from a distance unlike those from Symphonia or Archlesia, right? The reason is simple, Hydra’s Royal Castle is more characterized by its expansive grounds rather than the sheer size of the building itself. Well, though I say that, the royal castle still had the befitting appearance of one. It’s bigger than a normal house, so look, we’re almost there.]
Giving an explanation in anticipation of my question, I looked in the direction Fors-san had pointed and began to see something resembling the roof of a building.
That shape……. Rather than western castles, it feels more like Arabian or Middle Eastern palaces. I see, it’s almost a one-story building, and just as Fors-san said, it’s quite expansive…… n0𝑣𝐞𝓁𝓊𝕊𝑩.𝗰0𝑚
[The center of Hydra Kingdom’s Royal Capital is the House of Parliament, not the castle. In the end, the castle is more of a symbol. The face of the country, per se…… It’s fine to perceive it as just a facility where the country’s military, the so-called Knight Order, operates. As for me, I don’t really see the need to call it a royal castle, nor do I see how a King was even needed…… but the people here just refuse to give this up.]
Her ability to move swiftly with the agility of her footwork and make immediate decisions that benefit the country undoubtedly makes her an excellent King.
In fact, this year’s Founding Festival gained a lot of excitement even before it started due to Laguna-san’s unique move of presenting an item related to the First Hero. All things considered, her skill and talent are things one can undoubtedly be certain of.
[Rather, what are you even going to do after quitting as King? You don’t have the personality of someone who would just idly pass time, and I think it would just end up with the punchline being that you would quickly find yourself having too much free time. I can’t imagine you doing anything other than spending an entire day training or appearing idle by the seaside, fishing while eating rice crackers. In the end, isn’t being a King and managing your daily schedule just right for you? Ultimately, having a balance in life is essential. Even for someone like me who tends to be reclusive and focuses on research, having occasional opportunities to go outside like this helps maintain that balance too.]
[Mhmm…… If you put it that way, indeed…… I’d find myself having too much free time not knowing what to do with it.]
I mean, in fact, even if Laguna-san were to step down from the position of King, she might still find herself participating in governmental matters as one of the parliament or with a position resembling that, still involved with the administration of the country in one way or another.
That being the case, just as Fors-san said, even if she quits as King, I think she will just be placed as a representative with a different title attached to her name, and as a result, what she ends up doing does not change.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [In fact, she had just naturally invited and welcomed one of the First Hero’s party members and the World’s Singularity to the Royal Castle, a task that seems to be in the best interest of the country…… Well, I can’t see a future where she’ll get to quit.]
