Chapter 139 – Old Lanchester Territory

We rode the bike further in, and stopped once we got near the high wall.

Roxy said while she looked up.

[Apparently, the Holy Knight who governed this place died from an unknown cause.]

[Ah…]

As I was involved in that 'unknown cause', I could only responded dryly.

Rudolph Lanchester who was the governor of this area, went against my promotion to bee a Holy Knight. After an exchange of words, he drew his Holy Sword and challenged me to a duel while we were in Eris' presence.

Afterward, all I knew was that the White Knights punished him for acting brazenly in front of their beloved Queen.

[I heard that they applied a terrible class system that made the people living in the territory suffer. Eris destroyed the entire Lanchester family for that. Now another holy knight has been sent from the Capital to temporarily govern the territory…]

[I see. Eris-sama might want to see if everything went well after that.]

That same Eris was still riding the bike with Mimir trying to catch up to us though.

It's because we forced our bike to travel in its utmost speed that we got so far ahead of them.

[But, it's too quiet here. I don't see any travelling merchants going in or out.]

[This feeling is similar to what happened back at the capital.]

[Now that you mention it… it is.]

Those travelling merchants were very sensitive to danger. They loved to make as much money as they can, but they still loved their life even more. It's only natural, since you won't be able to use your money, no matter how much you had, once you died.

[Shall we go in to ask about what is going on here?]

[U~n… we can go and ask the knight in charge of the temporary governing… but]

[We should wait for Eris and let her do the talk?]

[Yes]

That Eris who reeks with overwhelming sex appeal was also a Queen of a country.

Since me and Roxy were her vassals, we should not disrespect her. Though I could afford to be a little bit rude since I'm also a holder of Mortal Sin skill.

Roxy was not one though. For example, even if Eris insisted Roxy to act informal while around her, Roxy's serious nature wouldn't allow it. She would act respectful either way.

[Waiting for Eris will be too slow. Let's just go in first.].

[No can do. Even if she is like that, Eris-sama is still our Queen.]

[Even if she is like that!?]

[Ermm… I let that slip without realizing. Please do not tell Eris-sama about it]

[I wonder about that~]

[Mouu, Fai!]

Roxy hurriedly took back her statement. Apparently she doesn't really like Eris' loose and elusive attitude. Perhaps she had her fair share of being annoyed by Eris when she came to work at the palace.

[Are you still listening!? Fai!]

While I was reminded of how hard working Roxy was, I realized that she's glaring at me.

She had this unfortable look on her face, which is also cute in a way.

[Fai!]

[Ouchouchouch… I'm listening]

She pinched my ear because I fcomot to respond. She could be unrelenting like this sometimes.

With my ear still tingling from pain, we looked around the high wall surrounding the old Lanchester Territory. Roxy still showed no intention of entering the city.

The entry and exit points became strictly controlled because when I and Myne visited here before, she defeated the former Lord of this territory so easily, and escaped just as easy.

Furthermore, the Lanchesters were not on good terms with the Hearts family. Not only they provided little to no supplies when Roxy was heading to Gallia, they also forbade her from entering the city.

[It was really horrible back then.]

[I'm also partially at fault for that to happen…..sorry. I'll tell Myne about it when we meet her.]

[Fai and Myne must not have been at fault. That Lanchester guy was originally a troublemaker. I am sure he was the one who provoked you first, right?]

[Yeah, I guess you can say so.]

Certainly back then… Rudolph treated Myne like a mere kid. On the other hand, she had some insecurities regarding her physical look (especially on the chest area). So he's just seeking trouble for himself.

Myne launched him high into the sky with a single slap of her black axe Sloth.

I remember that I was standing by her side, mouth agape as I witnessed the scene unfolded. Before I knew it, Myne already pulled my hand and dragged me to escape.

[Seeing you sigh like that, it must be something bad, is it not?]

[Myne's personality is one that does not take provocations well. Not only here, it got us into trouble on many other places…]

[From what I have heard so far, she seems easy to anger, does she not?]

[That's only natural, as she's the holder of Mortal Sin skill Wrath. That being said, I never knew the full extent of Wrath skill yet.]
