Volumen 18 Capítulo 182 - Ars, la Capital Imperial

1ª Parte

Ars, la capital imperial es la ciudad más extensa de todo el mundo; y cuyo nombre procede del héroe que lideró a la raza humana en su victoria en la gran guerra entre humanos y demonios.

Es una ciudad capaz de dejarte sin aliento al verla.

En la colina más alta de la ciudad, contemplando la ciudad se encuentra el Silver Palace, un castillo majestuoso; rodeado de enormes mansiones y palacetes pertenecientes a la más alta nobleza de Asura.

Desde las distintas entradas de la muralla que rodean la ciudad avanzan anchas calles hasta el Silver Palace; por no hablar del enorme coliseo situado dentro de la ciudad, y zonas de entrenamiento para caballeros que permiten un entrenamiento sin igual.

Pero no solo hay cabida para la guerra en esta ciudad, también se pueden encontrar templos dedicados a la diosa Milis, así como un sistema de cañerías y acueductos que se extienden por toda la ciudad; junto a las sedes principales de las distintas compañías comerciales. Pero aún hay más, en Ars se encuentra el dojo principal del estilo del Cauce Celestial y un pórtico construido en conmemoración la victoria en la Campaña de Laplace..

Un concurrido distrito para las artes con teatros y recintos para óperas, al lado de este un enorme distrito de posadas y tabernas, algunas lujosamente decoradas y donde se pueden ver preciosas mujeres que atiendan a sus clientes.

Una ciudad que se extiende hasta donde alcance la vista, observes en la dirección que observes, casi como si fuera un océano de humanidad.

Ars, la capital imperial; el lugar conocido como la ciudad humana más antigua de este mundo.

Extracto del libro Recorriendo el Mundo del aventurero Conde Sanguinario.

2ª Parte

Pudimos ver la capital imperial en cuanto atravesamos una pequeña colina.

Sobra decir que tanto Eris como yo nos quedamos boquiabiertos ante la escena, puesto que la capital imperial es una ciudad enorme, la ciudad más grande, con diferencia, de todas las que he visto en este mundo.

Lo primero que me llamó la atención fue el castillo que se encontraba construido en una colina en medio de la ciudad. Era un castillo con brillos plateados que podía ser tan grande, si no más, que el propio castillo de Pelagius.

Por si fuera poco, rodeando el castillo se encontraban gruesas y altas murallas más propias de ser paredes de una fortaleza. A esta distancia, diría que medían más de 20 metros de altura; vamos, si un Dragón Errante intentara atravesar las murallas a pie, dudo mucho que pudiera romperlas.

Rodeando a estas murallas del castillo, podían verse distintos palacetes bastante llamativos donde seguramente se alojarían las noblezas de mayor estatus de la ciudad. Hablamos de mansiones del tamaño de palacios, aunque incapaces de hacerle sombra al verdadero castillo de la ciudad. Y estas mansiones estaban rodeadas de otra muralla.

Calles anchas se extienden desde este núcleo, y cada cientos de metros, una nueva muralla envuelve el recinto, como si se hubieran ido añadiendo murallas conforme la ciudad se fuera expandiendo.

Aunque solo hay 5 capas de murallas, y después de eso solo hay edificios que rodean la ciudad por todos los ángulos... vamos, incluso más allá del horizonte...

Supongo que rodear la ciudad empezaba a ser excesivamente costoso.

No obstante, aunque no hubiera murallas, se podían ver puestos de caballeros encargados de proteger a los ciudadanos de los monstruos y que hacían batidas regularmente para eliminar posibles núcleos de monstruos.

Igualmente, aún con todo esto, a mis ojos, esta ciudad era relativamente pequeña comparada con las grandes ciudades de mi antiguo mundo; pero no por ello mi pecho no se aceleraba al ver una ciudad fantástica tan espectacular como para cubrir el horizonte.

"......"

La propia Ariel se había bajado de su carruaje para observar con más detenimiento el paisaje.

"He vuelto a casa."

Pero cada uno de nosotros tuvo reacciones distintas y personales ante este espectáculo, siendo lo único que compartimos el ambiente solemne al ver una escena casi increíble al mismo tiempo que clavábamos nuestras miradas en el castillo de la colina.

".... Continuemos."

Y fue también la propia Ariel las que nos instó a continuar hacia la capital.

3ª Parte

Desde el exterior, la ciudad llegaba incluso a acongojar a quienes la vieran.

Cosa que no ocurría una vez te encontrabas en el interior.

La zona de la entrada a la ciudad era exactamente igual que en cualquier otra ciudad, con aventureros y vendedores por todo el lugar; aunque destaca el hecho de que en esta ciudad, los aventureros son algo más jóvenes que de costumbre.

Si hay aventureros más experimentados por la zona, apenas los veo.

Aunque otra diferencia clara con el resto de ciudades de este mundo, es que las calles, y por lo tanto los caminos, son mucho más anchas que en el resto de ciudades que he visitado. Por estas calles pueden circular fácilmente al menos 6 carruajes, y además todas ellas parecen ir a la plaza principal.

"Vamos en dirección a mi segunda residencia, la que usaremos como base de operaciones. Antes de dirigirnos al palacio real es necesario que todos los preparativos estén listos."

Ariel nos dio el curso de acción, y nos pusimos en marcha hacia nuestro destino, el distrito de la alta nobleza. Aunque debo decir, que el simplemente ir de la entrada hasta ese distrito nos tomará la mitad de un día.

Nos pusimos en marcha con Luke liderando nuestro grupo, y tras él, Eris, Sylphy, Ghyslaine el carruaje y finalmente yo; organizados como una única línea por mucho que hubiera espacio de sobra en la calle.

El motivo de este avance tan tranquilo fue evitar problemas con ninguno de los nobles y llamar la atención de manera innecesaria; porque además, aunque los nobles de menos estatus por lo general le fueran a ceder el paso, ir con el escudo de la familia de Ariel nos causaría demasiadas dificultades.

Y así, fuimos avanzando por la ciudad, hasta que, pasado un tiempo, las personas que recorrían las calles fueron cambiando drásticamente; de aventureros a civiles y habitantes.

En este momento fue cuando los distintos ciudadanos de Ars comenzaron a fijarse más en nosotros.

"Eh.... Acaso... ¿esos no son Fitts-sama y Luke-sama....?"

"Vaya, es verdad... Entonces... en ese carruaje debe ir..."

"¿Ariel-sama va en el interior de ese carruaje?"

"¡Ariel-sama seguramente haya regresado al enterarse de la enfermedad de su majestad el rey!"

No es que tuviéramos la intención de ocultar por completo la identidad de Ariel, y por eso, utilizamos los rostros de Sylphy (Fitts) y Luke para que los ciudadanos supieran a quién escoltábamos. Entre otras, porque alguien como yo no sería apropiado para escoltar en solitario a la princesa.

Y por mucho que Darius no se entere de que hemos venido, no me extrañaría que ya estuviera avisado y listo para interceptarnos o con un plan de contingencia; pero básicamente, los que necesitamos más tiempo en la ciudad somos nosotros.

"¡Kyaa, Luke-sama!"

"¡Fitts-sama!"

"¡Ariel-sama! ¡Ariel-sama ha regresado!"

... Pero vaya... sí que son populares...

En cuanto comenzaron a escucharse rumores a nuestro alrededor, empezaron a alzarse vítores sobre la llegada, incluso con ciudadanos lanzándonos flores.

No era una actitud unánime por parte de la población, pero aproximadamente un 20% de los ciudadanos nos estaban mostrando su apoyo.

Ariel está mucho más idolizada de lo que me había imaginado... Hasta Luke...

Hablamos de una princesa que lleva 10 años fuera de la capital... ¿Cómo puede seguir siendo tan popular? Es increíble... Ariel es increíble si es capaz de algo así.

Pero la mejor parte de esta situación fue que nos abrieron camino por la calle para que pasáramos cómodamente.

Me pregunto si habrá alguna ley que diga que a la realeza hay que abrirle paso... Creo recordar que el castigo por bloquearle el paso a algún Daimyo era la muerte...

"¡Mirad! ¡Es Fitts-sama!"

Cada vez que alguno de los asistentes al improvisado desfile decía algo sobre Sylphy, ella se llevaba las manos a la oreja para rascársela, demostrando que se estaba poniendo un poco nerviosa y quizás hasta avergonzada.

Pienso molestarla de broma luego con eso... a ver cómo reacciona.

Cuando llegamos a la plaza principal, los vítores fueron incluso más intensos, como si la gente hubiera venido corriendo en cuanto recibieron noticias de que Ariel había regresado.

Con todo el alboroto que se ha organizado, ¿por qué los guardias no se han acercado para controlar a la población?

Y si Auber quiere aprovechar la conmoción para atacarnos por sorpresa... es tan fácil de imaginar que da hasta miedo.

Activé mi ojo místico asustado por la posibilidad, pero por extraño que parezca, no hubo ninguna clase de ataque.

Por otro lado, no es que no hubiera soldados, sino que los soldados se habían sumado a la conmoción en lugar de controlarla; o al menos, las tropas situadas en esta zona lo hicieron.

Parece que los soldados y guardias rasos son partidarios de Ariel... Parece que incluso en la mismísima capital de Asura hay personas descontentas con la situación actual en el reino...

Se podría decir que estamos teniendo una recepción propia de héroes...

Personalmente, no me gusta captar tanta atención.

"¡Qué buen recibimiento!"

Aunque Eris parece que no comparte esa idea conmigo.

4ª Parte

As we enter the noble’s district, the cheering subsides.

I guess Ariel is popular with commoners but not with the nobles.

Perhaps the nobles have no interest in cheering on the street.

Which one is it?

When we enter the noble’s district, groups wearing armor walked around.

They wore silver body armor and a full-face helmet, it must be heavy for these guys.

Compared to the soldiers that were cheering earlier, their atmosphere is more serious.

If the soldiers before were the police, then these guys give off the feeling of the army.

"I wonder who they are?"

"They’re apprentice knights"

When I ask that unusual question, Eris explained to me.

"A way to become a knight without attending Knight Faction by joining as an apprentice first."

"Oh ......"

"The role of patrolling the city seems to be the job of apprentice knights as well."

"You know a lot about this."

"Fufun, I heard it from a friend."

I was surprised that Eris had friends.

Though from her tone it’s probably not an imaginary friend like Tomo-chan.

"Friends from the Holy Land of the Sword?"

"Yes."

That is, a swordsman friend.

Or Ken Tomo [Sword Friend].

"I'm happy that my Eris has friends. You may fight, but if you hold back sometimes, then you will get along fine."

"But, that child ......"

Then, Eris stopped talking.

Her gaze snapped elsewhere, and at the same time grabbed her sword.

In Eris’s line of sight.

She notices that one of the apprentice knights is staring over here.

Due to the full-faced helmet, I can’t tell his expression.

I wonder if he’s an enemy.

I feel that something is off.

That person said something to the commanding officer and ran over here.

".....!"

Sylphy, Ghyslaine, and Luke all drew their weapons.

Sylphy is amazing.

She was able to draw her wand faster than Ghyslaine.

"Wa...... !"

Surprised at the three people who suddenly drew their weapons, the person wearing armor stopped walking.

It seems that he couldn’t hide his confusion, and he lifts his hand up and takes off his helmet.

What was underneath was a beautiful woman.

There’s no words to describe her beauty.

She has flowing hair, forehead wet from sweat, full of sex appeal.

"Eris! Ghyslaine! It’s me!"

Behind the horse-drawn carriage, her gaze was directed at us.

To be precise, to Eris.

"............"

Eris is staring at the woman on horseback.

"Eris. So you’ve survived. Master had said that you were as good as dead if you fight against the Dragon God....... Though, why are you in the Asura Kingdom? If you had contacted me ――"

"Who’re you?"

"!...... "

The woman swallowed a breath.

Then she made a somewhat sad face.

It’s a sad face, but also a [If it’s Eris, then it can’t be helped] face.

It is a face people who know Eris well are familiar with.

"...... Kidding."

While joking, Eris quickly jumps off her horse.

"It’s been a long time, and since Isolte is wearing a strange armor, I thought it was someone else for a moment."

"A strange armor ...... This is the Asura Kingdom Knights’ formal armor, isn’t it cool? "

"It looks hard to move around in."

"Since the Water God Style doesn’t need to move a lot, this is perfect."

Realizing it’s Eris’s acquaintance, Luke lowered his sword.

Sylphy also relaxes, but still held onto her wand.

Ghyslaine’s sword remains readied as she is overlooking the surroundings.

The moment you let your guard down is your most vulnerable moment, her judgment is correct.

"Are you serving the person inside this horse-drawn carriage? There was this rumor about how the Second Princess has returned around the town, so it’s probably her......But why is Eris...... Oh, there was a story that Ariel was studying in the Magic City Sharia.....then when you met her.......you were hired since you’re a [Sword King], something like that?"

Contrary to her seemingly meek appearance, she is surprisingly talkative.

Eris is quiet.

Showered by her rapid fired words, Eris folds her arms and takes her usual pose.

She says.

" ..................Yeah, something like that."

Apparently, she stopped listening in the middle of it.

I'm sure that the conversations between these two women were always like this.

"By the recommendation of my Master, I decided to become a knight. With the appointment of becoming a formal knight, I plan to obtain the title of Water Emperor."

"Really, that’s good."

"Yeah."

Luke turns his horse around.

And heads towards us before he comes to a stop.

He asked with a gentle face.

"I’m sorry to interrupt your time of reunion.....are you acquainted with Eris-san?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"Sorry but we’re in a hurry, let’s continue this conversation later so we won’t lose time now......"

"I understand."

Saying in a soft demeanor, while facing Isolte, Luke bowed gracefully.

"Then please excuse me, milady. I’m sorry but we are in the middle of our duty. There’s a time and place for everything. Until next time, please accept my humble apology."

"That’s fine."

"Thank you? Then, allow me to excuse myself."

Luke does not even show a wry smile towards Isolte who turns him down coldly. He maintains his soft smile and mounts his horse.

Luke then moves to the front with his horse.

Isolte was looking at his figure in disgust.

"Was that Rudeus? Like I’ve imagined, he has a perverse attitude......even though he is a mage, he carries a sword, is he trying to look cool? Eris, did you marry such a guy? "

"...... I’m married with Rudeus."

"Hah......? He is indeed good looking, but I don’t like his way of greeting another woman in front of his wife. Is Eris’s taste bad?"

"......?"

So as not to let Luke hear it, Isolte said this in a hushed tone.

Eris has a puzzled face.

Apparently, Isolte mistook Luke for me.

At a position to hear such gossips clearly, I wanted to move away a little.

While I have no intention to look cool, occasionally I also want to wield a sword.

"I'll be going now."

"Right. I apologize for delaying you when you are busy...... Will you be staying here for a while?"

Hearing that, Eris glanced at me.

At least, we’ll probably stay in this city until Ariel takes the throne.

I return with a nod.

Isolte saw me for the first time at that moment.

She has a puzzled face.

"Um, that person is?"

This is awkward.

Should I tell her that I am Rudeus?

Though there is no reason to take a false name, the other side had just ...... gossiped about me too, the air seems to be unpleasant.

"Hihin!"

And, then Matsukaze moved.

He moved towards Eris’s side against my will, and used his head to nudge her back.

Hey, don’t move without my permission, I'll give you some cabbage later.

"Oh sorry, you’re in a hurry."

However, when she saw that behavior, Isolte got the hint.

"Well, when I’m off-duty, I will show you around....... At that time, please introduce this person."

She said this person, and sent me a glance.

If someone said, [Let me introduce you to Rudeus] here, what kind of face will she make?

“I’m not very sure but okay.”

“You’re not very sure... as always it seems. Well then, may you have the protection of Saint Millis.”

After bowing gracefully, Isolte went away.

Hmm, so she is a believer of the Millis religion.

Eris kept looking at the figure in her back, but soon faces forward and mounts the horse.

After confirming Eris is ready, Luke starts to move and the horse-drawn carriage begins to follow suit.

"She is [Water King] Isolte. We met in the Holy Land of the Sword a while back."

" I see. It’s good that you get along with each other well."

"Well, but..."

Cutting her words in the middle, Eris looked at Isolte.

The silver armored platoon moved away and disappeared into the alley.

"She may become our enemy...... "

Oh, is that so?

Water King Isolte Cruel.

I heard from Orsted that she is a person that may show up as an enemy.

In the first place, I have already informed Eris about the high possibility that the Water God Reida will be our enemy.

At that time, Eris might had already presumed that Isolte will also become our enemy.

Since her position is that of an apprentice knight, I don’t think that would be the case...... but anything is possible.

Her position may be low, but her skill is still King rank.

If it becomes a battlefield, the possibility that it’ll come to that is high.

" ...... Eris, are you okay with that?"

"I can’t wait. The debt I owe her in the Holy Land of the Sword shall be paid."

"Is that so?"

I don’t know myself, but those kinds of words came out without hesitation, in other words, these two people have such a relationship.

It's a rivalry.

I don’t understand it that well.

However, when it comes to giving up your life, it’s not something I understand at all.

If possible, I want both of them to survive and continue to compete.

Because it will all end if one of you dies.

Part 4

We turned right in the middle of the road and continued uphill.

Huge walls are being guarded by soldiers, but when Luke showed his crest, we’re allowed through easily.

After we passed through the district of intermediate nobles, and under a wall again, we were surrounded with houses that were as large as the castles of a small country.

It’s the district of the upper nobility.

The second house of Ariel was in a somewhat distant position from the royal castle.

Despite being located within the city, it is five times larger than my house.

Not as big as Eris’s family home that doubled as a fort in times of war, but way too big to be a private home.

It was already evening.

Since we entered the city in the early afternoon, we've spent half a day already.

When we were entering the building’s garden, people that looked like butlers came out.

Seeing Luke, they immediately went inside and collected the maids in a hurry to greet us.

In total, there are around five or so people.

Even during her absence, they continued to manage Ariel’s house.

We are greeted by the servants and moved into the building.

Inside, it was gorgeous.

Although the furnishings in Perugius’s castle are also top tier, it gave off a vibe of being a fine arts gallery, this feels like a villa belonging to an Asura noble.

The rank of the place is on par with Eris’s castle.

After being assigned a room, I wash away the fatigue of travel by bathing.

The bathroom had decorations made of metal, even on the pail that is used for bathing, was glittering.

There is a bathtub right in the room, but there is also a bathroom as well.

I probably wouldn’t use that.

After bathing, I had a meal.

Present are four people, Ariel, Eris, Sylphy, and I.

Ariel’s attendants seem to be dining at a different location.

"Well, Rudeus-sama"

"Yes"

"With your help, Rudeus-sama, I was able to come here safely"

After the meal is over, Ariel called me again.

"I will begin my operations from tomorrow.

To welcome Perugius-sama, and to prepare the 『Venue』 where I will bring down Senior Minister Darius.

To verify the nobles’ request during my absence, and to gather information.

Make contact with allies that have been lying in wait for us, strengthening our foundations…. We will be busy "

"Yes."

"Before Darius makes his move, let’s get the 『Venue』 ready as soon as possible. Fortunately, the powerful nobles have already gathered here in the capital at the news of father’s illness."

Soon, there will be a decisive battle.

"How much time will you need to make your preparations?"

"Ten days"

"OK."

...... Ten days.

That’s fast.

“I have all the pieces gathered here.

It’ll depend on how the other side plays this, but I believe our victory is assured.

Although I think that the possibility is low,

but the possibility exists that the 『Venue』 might unfortunately become a battlefield."

Honestly, we should try to preserve our strength, but that’s determined by what the other side has planned for us.

“I think our strength here is enough, but you can’t be too sure. Before that, lets reduce the enemy’s main force as much as we can first."

"Right."

"Rudeus-sama, Eris-sama, and Sylphy, I would like you to play that role."

Preemptively depleting the enemy's forces...

Indeed, our opponent may have employed many from the North God Style.

"However, it will be difficult to launch an attack and ensure the safety of Ariel at the same time."

In this city, Ariel has many allies.

But, there is no one at the North Emperor level.

Eris, Sylphy, and I are the offense team, while only Ghyslaine and Luke will protect Ariel.

Ghyslaine is dependable, but if they send more than a North King, she might be in trouble.

"Therefore, I will act as the bait."

"The bait...... ?"

“I will reveal an opportunity for them to attack this place on purpose. I’ll be safe thanks to the magic items in my possession"

Like that substitution magic ring, for example.

Someone can use it to impersonate Ariel.

Create a situation where we look vulnerable and strike the opponent back.

In that situation, Ariel will make her move.

Returning from meetings with nobles and behind-the-scenes work.

During morning, evening, late at night.

It would be possible to feint vulnerability in our movements.

If the other side comes to us, it saves us the trouble of finding them.

"But Sylphy, it means that you will have to play a little dangerous role....."

"I have no objections."

Sylphy answers back immediately.

"This is the last push, so let’s do our best."

So Sylphy will be Ariel’s double...

Well, if it becomes a battle there is no safe place anyway.

After coming this far it doesn't matter where you are.

Since the person herself is willing to do it, I will protect her with all my power as well.

"Will they take the bait?"

"It’s about… 50-50 I’d say."

After all, during our journey to the capital, we weren’t attacked a single time.

Although we were on alert and the journey lasted almost a month. There must have been a chance to attack.

If it happens that Ariel's 『Venue』 is not anticipated and the enemy is crushed with overwhelming force, I would feel highly motivated.

"It’ll be good if we can bait them out. If not, you’ll at least be safe."

"Unless I get caught ... if I do, it will be an all-out war."

"I think in that case, Rudeus-sama will be more burdened."

I will be.

...... I wonder if it will okay.

"Do you not have reinforcements here?"

"The Ranoa Kingdom have prepared some in advance. But, they are only advanced level swordsmen, and advanced level magicians at best. Since the other party has the North Emperor and the North Kings, at the day and place of the 『Venue』, we will be under-powered. "

That's true.

"If it comes to that point, we will borrow that person’s power."

"That person?"

Is it Orsted?

I wonder if he has already arrived in this town.

We still keep contact, but there is only a few thing to be reported since he is a man of few words.

Since Luke is wary of me, Ariel may not meet Orsted again.

"Well, when it comes to that, I will request his help."

Sylphy had tilted her neck at this exchange, but well it’s fine.

"I will need your help in that regard."

"Okay."

Things to do in the next 10 days were also decided.

Starting tomorrow, the battle for the Asura Kingdom begins.
