Chapter 1135: Parade
Chapter 1135: Parade
Everyone is busy. I didn’t mean Fabio, Maya, and those who are attending their wedding. I also mean everyone in the capital.
Because of their wedding, there are more people coming to the capital of Arturo. They opened street food stalls and do many things.
There will be a parade first. Then the party inviting all the Kings and nobles to the palace. I won’t attend that party. But there will be another party for us Fabio and Maya’s friends later. Just because we don’t want to get involved with some annoying nobles in the formal party.
For the parade, Fabio and Maya will ride an open horse carriage where all the citizens can see them. They will ride from the Duke’s house, Maya’s father, to the capital. Not directly. They will take detour so everyone can see them.
And there will be a camera following the two of them. A master level wind mage who is one of Arturo’s soldiers will follow Fabio and Maya. Then the large screen in the square will show everyone in the square the two happy couple.
It’s nearly impossible even to just stay on the route to wait for the carriage to pass them by. It’s too crowded. That’s why we utilize the large screen in the square so everyone can see.
There are even people on the rooftop. Not people who wants to watch. They’re the soldiers.
We had to block anyone from watching Fabio and Maya from the rooftop because of how easy it will be for the enemy to target Fabio and Maya from the rooftop. And for today, other than soldiers, no one is allowed to fly in the sky.
They are very thorough. With this, the cult will have difficulty attacking here.
With how many important people in the capital right now, it’s nearly impossible for the cult to ignore us.
I thought that today, I will just look around everywhere to see if there are any enemies nearby. Whether they will come from the air, from underground, from outside of the capital, or they even already infiltrated this place, I have to check everything. So I use Divine Vision again after training for a while.
The good news is that my Divine Vision has improved as my normal vision is improved because of my training. So I can see more with less mental burden.
The bad news is... it’s not related to my Divine Vision at all. It’s related to my job today.
It’s that... all the kings are here. In the square. Disguising themselves as ordinary citizens as they walk around from one food stall after another and will watch the parade until Fabio and Maya reach the capital.
Once they’re there, these important people who are walking around incognito will move there to a portal from a nearby inn. And I will be the one who transport them with portal.
Sigh... these people just want to have fun. They have at least one master level mage protecting them. So I don’t need to personally protect them.
But even the master level mage is enjoying the foods. So I have to be careful for everyone.
And I’m totally alone. Victoria is not with me. She’s hiding in Maya’s hair so in case we have an emergency, I can contact Maya via telepathy through portal. If necessary, she will have to open a portal directly in front of so many people here.
Well, I don’t think portal is something that is needed to be hidden from ordinary people anymore. I think I should start making summoning element lessons so that those who awakened as summoners will be able to learn about portals and Monsters World. But that will be for later.
Well, if they witnessed it today, then we can spread the knowledge early. Even if we spread the information, it’s not like everyone will be safe going to Monsters World.
Anyway, I’m watching everyone in the square who is traveling in disguise to enjoy the food stall. It’s like festival in here. No, it is festival.
It’s annoying how everyone is split into their own groups. They move together with only the people from their kingdom. So it makes it harder for me to watch everyone at the same time.
So I’ll just enjoy the food as well. At least they have their own bodyguard with them.
As I walk to a stall that sells a meat skewer, three girls approaching me. They are Lynn, Claudia, and Celestine who acts as their bodyguard.
"Enjoying the festival, aren’t you all?" I asked.
"We are! It’s not easy for me to get a free time," Lynn said.
I look at Claudia when Lynn said that.
"...Did she really say that?" I asked Claudia.
"Since she thinks that she works a lot, then I’ll make that wish come true when we return," Claudia said.
"Wait, no! I didn’t wish for something like that!"
"Celestine, what about you?" I asked Celestine.
"It’s too crowded here. And it’s annoying that some people tried to use this chance to grope me," Celestine said.
"It’s because you stop wearing those flattening underwear again. At least try to not wear tight clothing," I said.
At some point, Celestine stopped wearing those flattening underwear. I wonder why she did it. So I ask her today.
"Someone with see-through vision said that it looked weird when he’s looking through my clothes with my chest being pressed. So I stopped wearing it. They already know that I betrayed them anyway," Celestine said.
...It’s all for me! Yay!
"Well, as long as you can protect yourself, it’s fine."
So while chatting, I buy a meat skewer from the stall.
"What kind of meat is this?" I asked as I was about to take a bite.
"A centaur’s lower-half," the stall-owner said.
And I stopped trying to eat it.
"A what?"
"A centaur’s lower-half."
"...So you think eating the lower-half of a centaur is okay?" I asked.
"It’s no different than a horse anyway," he said.
By this time, Lynn and the others who were interested in buying the meat stopped doing it. And they just look at the skewer in my hand.
"A monster with intellect that you can communicate with, you eat it?" I asked.
"It’s the lower-half, sir," he said.
"But the upper-half is human," I said.
"Still a monster though."
"And you’re fine with it?" I asked.
"I mean it is a monster. Their meat is delicious," he said.
Yup. I won’t eat this anymore. And I’ll ask all shop what kind of meat they use after this.
Even if they are monsters, I can’t imagine myself eating their flesh and meat.
No wonder this stall is empty. He’s selling centaur’s meat.
"No way anyone who knows what a centaur is will want to eat this. Here, you can have it back," I said as I give the skewer back to the stall-owner.
"I see. Then I need to change how I’m advertising it. Horse meat skewer! Horse meat skewer, everyone! It’s delicious!"
Not only he didn’t change the ingredient, he even lied. It’s good that I found it first.
"Then we’ll look around a bit more," Lynn said.
"Don’t go too far. Stay in the square, okay?"
If they’re too far, I can’t react quickly if anything happen to them. Even if they are wearing disguises, it doesn’t mean that their real identity won’t be discovered.
Last night was fun. We just enjoyed our time and I don’t really have to protect the others. So I can enjoy it.
But now, everyone is busy enjoying themselves. So I can’t really enjoy the food.
Still, I found some suspicious people. They are too suspicious. But I don’t think they’re master level mages. And if they tried to do anything to the Kings here, the bodyguard can protect them.
I see someone trying to steal Marie’s wallet. But Shirley who is walking around with Marie and Albert stopped the thief and brought him to a nearby guard. And the guard is taking him away.
Albert and Marie are enjoying their family time with Alan, Lana, and Shirley who is also acting as their bodyguard. They actually invited me but I refused. I have to watch everything after all.
And while I was looking at the thief who was taken away by the guard, I noticed that the guard is releasing the thief. They are working together it seems.
After improving my senses, I can now hear from this distance. The hardest part is to isolate what I want to hear. So it’s difficult but possible.
I can hear the guard telling the thief to be more careful when stealing. The thief was lucky that the guard was his friend.
Or maybe unlucky. Because Shirley is also a wind mage who can hear things from afar. So without any ordinary people notice it, those two were frozen in the spot.
Seems like I won’t have to do anything if they are just simply weaklings. Still, I need to report this to a real guard that someone in the guard is working together with a thief.
All the master level mages here noticed that someone used magic. But when they sensed it came from Shirley, they relaxed again and continue with what they’re doing.
Well, the wedding is still far from over. I’ll need to always be cautious of everything.
