The Sended's

Chapter 36: In your Humble Servant

"Thieves!!"

I don't think it's gonna end well....

After that, many people came to the grain warehouse where we were. They have clothes that look quite shabby, are they residents around here? Maybe they're farmers who keep their crops

At first the Maou wanted to scorch them to ashes, but it would bring more trouble because we would be fugitives. Especially after they know we are from Kyouka's side, they will put more effort to beat us later

Especially if they spread hate propaganda against us, maybe if the propaganda is too good, their people will fight to the point of blood loss

It bothered me so much even in the Old World games.

"Kill them!"

"Burn them!"

"Hide them!

Oye! Why did it come to that?! I'm sure they're civilized, what's the need to punish until that's the case? Even though we do not even steal wheat, if stealing is not allowed to be burned and skinned, right?

Heh, just try if some of them start vigilante and pull me or Maou, I'm sure that burned even they are not us

"Stolen food is a high-level crime, you must be tried directly by the Queen,"

Eh? Stealing food is a high-level crime? How can it be like that? I know this is indeed an unjustified act, but how could it be? How is the law in this place? Actually which kingdom uses such a strange law?!

"Name?"

We were taken to a town that was foreign to me, which meant it wasn't the city of Edelfield because I knew him quite well. You see, to go out of the island, I hitchhiked a merchant ship from the city, not hitchhiking either....

I promised payment, but right after I could see another land, I jumped off the boat and never again met the owner of that ship

You could say I started my adventure with reckless capital, ups.

"Tadashii Ryuu,"

"K-Kuroki Maou," he was still embarrassed to use his name

Either embarrassed because he told the guy, or embarrassed because there was me

Sooner or later this habit will disappear due to the frequent people calling him, I'm sure Maou also has certain skills like Kyouka. Indeed he is proficient in magic, but I mean the special skills he had in the previous world

The guard took down our names and put us in a very closed carriage made of iron, woah! It's an effective way of escorting prisoners, I'm amazed that there's such a thing in this age

Inside were several other prisoners, a total of eight including me and Maou. The door was locked tightly so it was impossible for us to escape, I mean for them....

Where we were taken, I don't know. According to the old man's words, we will be taken to the Queen only for stealing umm.

By the way, prisoners other than the two of us also do not all look evil. There were two of them hugging each other, the details were the mother and the young girl in her arms

Maybe they just stole an apple.

There were still patches of red liquid on one person's hands, but it was possible that it wasn't blood. Maybe it was a certain fruit juice that grew in this fantasy world? Shit, I got confused because of this weird law.

We got to a place I didn't know anymore, suddenly the horse carriage stopped and the door opened from the outside

"Down!" the soldier's orders

One by one we got off the tightly shut horse-drawn carriage, looking at a magnificent palace in the city crowd on the other side. Again a strange place, this is also not the palace of Edelfield.

Meanwhile at the real Edelfield palace, they were arguing to determine what action they would take to Ladenvield in the South. Only two of them remained calm amid this heated debate, it was the King and the General

The reason was actually very clear, it was because this debate had been going on since Ryuu and Kyouka had not been born. But only the two of them were still alive or active since then, because their position could not be replaced like other positions

"We must attack them while we're distracted!"

"Think! Last year's harvest left only a few sacks of wheat, not to mention if there was a disaster!"

"We will die before we reach the battlefield! Where are we gonna put our faces?!"

"You loser! If we set aside a few tens of sacks of grain from our personal storehouse, then we can go to war. The key is speed, and we all know that Edelfield's cavalry is unmatched under General Galhad,"

"Well, what do you think, General?"

Galhad was a figure who accompanied King Edelfield since he ascended the throne decades ago, therefore he was appointed General for life or until he wanted to retire on his own

It used to be possible that he would gladly lead the Edelfield cavalry that he had re-formed, but now as time went on, he became a man of peace

"We better observe the situation better, if we want war we also need good intel, that's all I'm really trying to say," he tried to take the path of peace, but it does not want to split this council any further

It provides a middle ground for observing, and it seems to make sense to the other members. So the King got up and made his final decision

"We'll observe."

We were lined up again to enter the palace, should at times like this I feel nervous, but no....

"Henry Campbell, I'll make you Ruby's royal knight for your bravery at the battle of Ivary, rise up and take your oath to me,"

"I am the knight Ruby swore, to protect my Queen, and all the people under her name. To be brave before the enemies, to guard the weak, and not to be despicable,"

"That's your oath, now rise up and stand my knight, I count on you from this moment on,"

I raised another Ruby knight to take care of me personally, this was already the eleventh, my target was only twenty

Taking care of an empire is very difficult especially for me who do not have any talent, but how lucky I am to be surrounded by talented geniuses in various fields

I just need to put them in the right position, and I think I've done well

A few days ago a small battle again took place in the South on the Ivary hill, again against Ladenvield with his expeditionary forces. We won it with a little sacrifice, and this Henry was the key to his victory

He finished off dozens of soldiers in the front row of the enemy so that our soldiers could destroy the rest easily, he deserved the title of knight

"Knight Campbell is begged to join the other knights outside the room" my secretary said

"Good!"

I sat on my throne after the door of this throne room was closed, letting go of me with just that

"Next is punishment for the country-class criminals, the Queen" he replied

Well, I guess some crimes do have to be tried directly by me, because they could be very detrimental to the new kingdom that I built two years ago. I will continue like this until Ryuu comes back, I will talk to him later

"Country-class criminals, Rena, Lina, Beston, Desmond, Tadashii Ryuu, and Kuroki Maou," What did he say?

Ryuu?!

The six people mentioned entered my room after the door reopened, and sure enough one of them was Ryuu

"R-Ryuu?"

"Oh! It's worth it I don't know, it's your kingdom apparently,"

"Haha! So we already have a strong foundation huh? We're gonna take the world together tomorrow,"

"Take your word in front of the Queen!"

"Ups! Forgive your noble servant.. pfft! Ahahaha!"

"Hey!"

"Elle..."

"Yes, your highness?"

Kyouka sighed and sat down again, holding her forehead

"Are you and the five prisoners besides Ryuu able to get out first?"

"Wait a minute Kyouka, this man is our new partner,"

"Well, all but the two of them can get out,"

Phew. I thought I was gonna be executed earlier.

Eh? Kyouka was visibly upset on her throne, and now I am afraid of another execution

The door closed tightly, and only then did Kyouka get up and walk over to me

"Stupid ryuu! Do you know how difficult it is to organize an empire?!"

"Of course I know,"

"Lucky I got good human resources, why did you leave so suddenly?! At least talk to me first,"

He was currently wearing an old grey military outfit with a few medals in his left pectoral pouch, he also wore a slightly old red robe and a heavy looking crown with a Ruby red stone in the middle

It really reflects a Queen, doesn't it?

"Calm Kyouka, now that I'm back," I said after he got angry in front of me exactly

"Then who is he?" Kyouka asked looking at Maou

"I'm-I'm Kuroki Maou,"

"He was sent just like us, so I think he'll help us with our mission to conquer the world, too,"

"Ryuu... ruling a kingdom like this alone is already very difficult, and you want to rule the world?! Comehere!"

Me and Kyouka ended up chasing inside that throne room of hers, Maou just looked at us in confusion. But since then his face reddened.

Uh! I remember it

Maou likes a black-haired girl with a short ponytail model who can interact with anyone, doesn't that really describe Kyouka? Hoho, how lucky I am. No, if the lucky thing is definitely Kyouka.

"Before I start, look here first you two. I'm gonna show you something you might not know yet,"

"First, you should know that this is not the first time that we have been transferred the world by a God, a Maou,"

"What does that mean?"

I took a walk while looking at the royal collection within Kyouka's throne room

"We were sent to another world before coming here, so this is the third world we live in" Kyouka replied

I picked up one of the sticks and approached the two of them again

"That's true but like I said, my information this time seems like you two haven't figured it out yet,"

I tapped on the floor with that stick, making it a sort of screen that displays the city of Moscow from above the sky. We can see Red Square along with other monuments in the city, complete with the surrounding conditions

"This is Moscow, Russia,"

After that, I knocked again on the same floor with the same stick as well, turning the city into a ruin that was barely recognizable anymore

There is no tree that grows there, making it like a ruin in the middle of a very arid land but strangely the land there still looks fertile. Wh why? I'll explain

"The first is Moscow on our earth first, then the second beat I just use magic to see what is below us now,"

"Ap-"

"You want to say that...."

Kelfia, this world, is the earth that is on the pile again.

To be clear, there is only one way to know for sure. It was in a way I didn't like

"God, I want to use my second and third chances,"

And so the whole sound of the world disappeared and the color faded leaving only black and white. Our floor also changed its texture to be like a puddle of water

"Please,"

"First, what did my findings mean? then second, explain to us about magic,"
