Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 26
I had been lying on the sofa reading a book, but when I heard Elena's voice, I sat up and turned my face to look at her. The two of them were gazing at the monitor.
They've completely mastered it.
Such adaptability!
I approached and looked at the monitor as well. Though the distance was still considerable, I could see the towering city walls.
From here, I couldn't make out their height or thickness, but in terms of scale, this place is larger than the Zelkis domain capital.
As expected of the royal capital!
It's enormous!
"We should get ready too. Sera, make sure you change properly, alright?"
"Yes!"
Though we're traveling in a single carriage, it's still from an aristocratic family.
Up until now, the gates in the towns and villages had been free pass, but as expected, things are different in the royal capital.
We won't have to wait in line like commoners, but to pass the checkpoint, it's necessary to dress in a manner befitting our family status.
By the way, I’m still in my pajamas.
Though I’ve been in my pajamas this whole time, I’m a servant of an aristocratic family, so it’s the same for me.
Inside the 【Hideout】, it’s not visible from the outside, so I could have kept my comfortable outfit, but...
"Can you hear me?"
As I was getting dressed, Alec’s voice echoed within the 【Hideout】.
"Please come out of the carriage soon. The gate is approaching, and there are guards."
"Alright, let’s go."
The two of them had already finished preparing.
Is it my turn to get ready!?
I hurriedly finished changing and headed for the door.
◇
As expected, there were no issues passing through the gate.
Despite the slight delay and the fact that we had only one small carriage, which was a bit unusual, it wasn’t anything worth being reprimanded for.
After all, it’s not a big deal.
We entered the city, passed through several districts, and entered the noble district, heading towards the mansion in the royal capital.
Maybe because we were on the road to the noble district, we didn’t run into any trouble.
We passed a few noble carriages, but everything was proceeding smoothly.
"Is something wrong?"
Noticing my disappointment, Seriana spoke to me.
"Hmm? No, it’s nothing."
"In the story Sera was reading recently, there was a scene where noble carriages had a confrontation with the guards when entering the city. I guess you were hoping for something like that?"
…She figured it out.
It’s the kind of power harassment that nobles are known for...
It’s probably not pleasant to be on the receiving end, but right now, I’m on the side of those doing it.
I had a reason for it, but I was secretly hoping for that kind of situation.
"...Sometimes, you can be an idiot."
Seriana looked at me with a somewhat exasperated expression.
I mean, there aren’t any of the so-called corrupt nobles around here.
Maybe it’s because the nobles and commoners live in separate areas, so I rarely have any interaction with them.
Originally, I went from being an orphan to a servant in a count’s household in one giant leap.
I don’t have the common sense of either a commoner or a noble in this world.
I’ve frequented the Adventurers' Guild, but that’s a rather unique place, so I can’t use their standards as a reference.
During this journey, I’ve been reading storybooks brought by Seriana and Elena, and there are quite a few scenes where nobles and commoners clash.
Well, the higher-ranked nobles or royalty, who are the main characters, often reprimand those behaving poorly, so maybe they’re included just to make a point.
The royal capital is home to many people, including royalty, nobles, and foreign nationals.
Seriana's caretakers are the servants of the Müller family’s residence in the royal capital, so I don't think I’ll be involved, but there’s always the possibility.
I really wanted to witness noble power at least once, but...
Seriously, I do.
"There’s my grandfather at the royal capital mansion. He’s not a particularly difficult person, but don’t do anything strange, alright?"
"Alright."
