Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 315

That day, there was a rush in front of the guest house as everyone, led by Ellen, got ready for the charcoal truck.

The day had finally come for Fara to leave Renaloute for Baldia.

From Farah's perspective, however, it means leaving her hometown and setting off to live in a new land.

And now I was in a room in the guest house with Fara and the others, watching the charcoal truck outside being prepared.

I speak softly to Farah, who has a somewhat sad expression on her face.

"Fara, are you still worried?"

No, no. It's not like that. I was just a little emotional when it was finally happening".

To Fara, who speaks as if to cover up her loneliness, I smile at her.

'Hmm, don't worry so much, Fara. Just between you and me, in the future I intend to make it possible to travel between Bardia and Renalute in a much shorter and easier way.

'What ...... would make such a thing possible?'

It must have sounded far-fetched.

She rolled her eyes a little and gave me a puzzled look.

I keep smiling and keep talking.

'Well, there's a part of me that won't know until I try. But if everyone in Bardia works hard at the current rate, I have no doubt we can do it."

'It's amazing. I'm always encouraged by what you think, master Rid. I'm looking forward to that time."

As we talked, Fara's expression became brighter than before.

I look at Asuna, her personal bodyguard, who is waiting behind her, with relief.

Asuna. Is there anything that makes you uneasy?'

'Thank you for your concern. But I am not worried at all. I have been prepared for this since I became the princess's personal bodyguard, and my family is aware of it.'

When she says this, she bows politely.

But when she looked up, she smiled wryly.

'Hmm,...... but I personally would love to have a meeting with the Knights of Bardia, so I'm rather looking forward to it.'

'Ah, ha ha ...... well, if it's not too much trouble, I'm sure everyone in the Knights will be willing to meet up with you.'

I thought it was typical of her, and answered with an unintentional wry smile.

However, I have a feeling that if Asuna meets the Second Order, she's going to be in big trouble.

Even though she has been straightened out by Diana, Ovelia of the Rabbit Tribe and Mia of the Cat Tribe are still quick to pick fights.

In spite of my worries, she continued to talk happily.

Is it true? I'm really looking forward to it. I would love to have a meeting with Rubens-sama and Diana-sama."

"Haha. ......"

Asuna, who had a big smile on her face, kept smiling at me.

At that time, Fara looked at me as if something was bothering her.

'Um, Master Rid. Actually, I have learned a little martial arts myself. ...... When I go to Bardia territory, may I ask Master Rid for a hand-to-hand match?"

'Eh,...... Fara began to learn martial arts too?'

'Yes, I have. In the past, when I saw the match with Rid-sama and Asuna, I wanted to stand alongside you as well".

Fara is a little embarrassed talking about it.

I was aware of the fact that she has a tendency to do things out of the ordinary due to the maid uniform thing before, but I never thought in my wildest dreams that she would start learning martial arts.

And I'm sure there was no mention of it in our correspondence.

I ask, unable to hide my surprise.

'Well, I didn't realise that.'

'Hmm, I wanted to surprise you about this, so I kept it a secret.'

Asuna follows the words of Farah, who speaks with a mischievous laugh.

'Rid-sama. "

'Umm, yes. Then, when we return to the Bardia territory, I'll ask you to show me."

"Yes, I will. I am looking forward to it."

Fara smiles happily at me as I nod and answer her.

But how much of a 'martial arts talent' does Asuna recognise?

Just when I had a somewhat bad premonition, there is a knock at the door of my room.

When I answered, two dark elves dressed as maids entered the room.

'Fara-sama, we have finished loading your luggage."

'Yes, I understand. 'Thank you for the report, Dalia, Jessica.'

When Fara answered the maids, I was surprised to hear her words.

Dalia, the dark elf who was called Dalia, was the dark elf who dressed me for the ceremony and reception.

'Hey, Daria-san. Are you also coming to the Bardia territory together with Fara?

'Yes. I am familiar with Renalute culture and etiquette, so I will be accompanying you. Thank you again, Master Rid."

When Dalia finished, she smiled and bailed.

I see, it is probably a consideration so that Farah can acquire Renalute culture and etiquette even if she goes to Bardia territory.

Perhaps it's King Elias ...... or perhaps it's Eltia's consideration.

I nodded to her, saying 'yes, nice to meet you', and turned my gaze to the other dark elf.

Soon after, she also bails out quickly.

'I am ...... 'Jessica'. I look forward to working with you from now on."

'Yes, Jessica, nice to meet you to.'

She seems nonchalant, but there is something sharp in her eyes.

It was then that I felt Jessica's gaze turn to Capella, who was waiting near me.

However, the girls politely leave the room when they finish their report.

I glanced at Capella, but he did not seem to be bothered by anything in particular.

Was it just my imagination?

As I was thinking that, Capella started talking to us.

'Master Rid, Lady Farah. I believe that the preparations for the 'charcoal truck' will soon be finished. I think it's time to get going.

'Oh, yes, that's right. Shall we go then?

Yes."

I answered him, and Fara nodded as if to follow.

And then we move to the line of charcoal trucks and carriages lined up outside the guest house.

◇

As soon as we were outside the guest house, Mel found us and ran up to us, looking happy.

'Nii-sama, Hime-nee-sama,' The trucks are ready for their rounds now."

"I see, thanks for telling me, Mel."

'Ehehehe ......'.

When I looked around while patting Mel's head, I saw a crowd of people in front of the guest house preparing for departure.

So me and Fara stayed inside the guest house to stay out of the way until the preparations were over.

Mel, however, wanted to watch the charcoal trucks being prepared and was excited to see them with Deanna and Danae in tow.

'Rid, just as well. I was just about to call you guys to come along, now that the preparations are done. We're about to leave.'

When I turned around to look, I saw my father and Zack standing there.

'Yes. Father.'

'Mm. And is Princess Fara ready as well?

'Thank you for your concern. The preparations and farewell speeches have already been done, so I am ready to go at any time. And, Rainer-sama, please feel free to call me 'Fara'.

She replied with a smile, and her father nodded as his expression relaxed.

'Alright. Then I'll speak to you a little more casually from now on. Fara.'

'Yes, thank you very much.'

Fara and Father smile at each other and talk happily.

At that moment, I noticed people coming towards us.

The royal family, led by King Elias, are coming towards us.

They are walking straight towards us.

Lacis ran up to us as if he was trying to get out of the group.

He comes up close, catches his breath and looks me straight in the eye.

"Rid-dono,......, once again, take care of my sister, Fara, will you?

'Yes, of course."

'Mm.'

He nodded at my answer and turned his gaze to Fara.

'Fara, you are my proud sister. And no matter where you go, that will never change. No matter what happens, you have to stay strong. Okay?"

'Brother ...... yes, I know that by heart.'

She looked a little surprised at Lacis's words, but immediately nodded with a happy smile on her face.

While this exchange is going on, King Elias arrives.

'Ha, I'm glad the children seem to be on good terms with each other. Now ...... son-in-law, Reiner-dono. I must ask you not to forget that my daughter is always present in the relationship between you."

'I am aware of that, Your Majesty Elias.'

The father replies with a smile, a business smile if you will.

The king Elias, in his position, must have dared to say that.

I replied as if following my father's lead.

'Yes. I leave it to you to take care of the Princess Fara".

'Yes, I will take good care of her.'

King Elias nodded as if he was satisfied and turned his sharp gaze towards Farah.

'Fara. You will have to go through a lot of hardship, but this is also the role of those born into royalty. Do not forget that duty.'

'Yes, father. I understand."

She smiled as she said this.

Liesel and Eltia call out to her, as do King Elias and Lacis.

Liesel is gentle, while Eltia, as usual, is a little cold and dismissive.

But Fara was happy and smiled at her words.

Shortly afterwards, Alex the Dwarf came to us.

'Master Rainer, Master Rid. The charcoal truck is already ready, shall we go?"

'Yes, we are. 'Well, then, we will now set out for Bardia territory. Rid, you will ride with Princess Fara and Mel in the charcoal truck that I am going to drive.'

I nodded at his words, and my father uttered a voice that echoed around the area.

He then turned his gaze to me on the way and continued speaking.

I nodded and called out to Fara and Mel.

'Yes, father. Then, Fara, Mel. Shall we ride in the charcoal truck?'

'Yes. 'Hehehe, together with Princess."

"Yes. I'm looking forward to it."

We said goodbye to King Elias and all the royal family, shook hands and got into the charcoal car.

As soon as the father got into the driver's seat, he started to move the charcoal truck slowly.

At the same time, words of farewell to Fara rolled in from all around.

She smiles and waves from the window of the vehicle to her family, soldiers and attendants.

Father does not immediately accelerate the car either, but carefully and slowly moves the charcoal truck forward.

Nevertheless, gradually they became further and further away and eventually out of sight.

Once out of the fortress, a Renalute soldier leads the way out of the castle.

Fara gazed at the cityscape in the meantime, as if to make a mental note of it.

A short time later, the charcoal truck will be outside the castle.

From here, it just goes straight ahead towards Bardia territory.

Father also accelerates the charcoal truck little by little.

Farah gazed at the castle and castle town of Renalute, which was gradually moving away from her and disappearing from sight, until the end.

When the castle and the castle town eventually disappear completely from sight of the charcoal truck, Farah jumps into my chest, where she is sitting next to me, and her voice trembles.

'I'm ...... sorry. May I borrow your chest for just ...... a little bit now, Master Rid?'

'Yes. 'Yes, that's fine. You can stay like this until you calm down Fara.'

For a while afterwards, her little sobs echoed in the charcoal truck.

◇

One day, a short time after sending Princess Fara away from Renalute, an envelope arrived from the Bardia family.

Zak in Renalute received an envelope from the Bardia family.

Zak thought it was a status report on Princess Fara, but the envelope was very thick.

It seems that this is no ordinary notice.

With a dubious expression on his face, Zack carefully opens the envelope and takes out the contents.

'This is a copy of the 'document regarding the burden of the cost of building the new house' for the Fara Queen, which His Majesty Elias signed before. The rest of the documents are all billing receipts ......? That's a hell of a lot of paperwork for a celebration."

He was surprised at the mountain of documents spread out before him, but he gathered them together to report to King Elias.

However, he rolls his eyes when he sees a document that summarises the 'total amount of money' that was among them, "What ......".

Zack then hurriedly read through all of the invoices and tallied up the totals and dropped a paragraph.

'Huh ...... got me. Master Reiner must have seen this coming.'

He shakes his head in disappointment and hurriedly requests an audience with King Elias.

After telling him how it happened, he gave him a summary of the bill and a copy of the document signed by King Elias in his own hand.

When Zak handed him the documents, he shuddered at the sheer amount of the bill.

Shortly afterwards, he lost his usual calmness and let out an angry roar.

'Rid Bardiaaaaaa! What kind of mansion did you build aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?'

On this day, the pocket money of King Elias and Zack is dewy-eyed, as they take responsibility for the easy signing.

And for the shortfall, a 'special budget' is set up for the country.

However, no one but the two men involved, King Elias and Zak, knew the details.

◇ ◇

Ha ...... hack!"

Master Rid, are you alright?"

Fara, who saw me sneeze suddenly, is looking at me with concern.

I rubbed my nose and nodded to reassure her.

'Uh-huh. I just started sneezing all of a sudden. Maybe someone was talking about me."

'Hmmm, Rid-sama is a man who never runs out of things to talk about. I'm sure there are plenty of rumours."

"Never running out of things to talk about? ...... haha ...."..

I nodded with a wry smile at her words.
