Chapter Four: An Intruder in the Large Nation

Bardland resided north of the Kingdom of Heim. Northwest of Bardland, in the northern region of the continent, was the Republic of Rockdam. Blessed with a vast domain of its own, Rockdam’s military might was second only to the kingdom’s.

As winter was drawing to a close, the footsteps of spring were quickly approaching in the republic.

“It’s comparable to Port Roundheart,” Elena observed.

Though she was a woman from Heim, she planned to depart from Rockdam’s port and sail to Ishtarica—more precisely, the port city of Magna. This wasn’t her first plan, but things moved along smoothly thanks to the involvement of prince Rayfon. He’d been lusting after the daughter of a trading company’s president, but the lady had managed to elude his grasp and evade capture. Displeased with the resultant situation, Rayfon had cornered Elena with a torrential downfall of incessant questions.

Of course, Elena had a few excuses ready to go. She explained that by commissioning the company to handle some of the previous grand duke’s outstanding tasks, it would be a net benefit for the kingdom. Tiggle and a whole host of aristocrats agreed with Elena’s logic, leaving Rayfon with no choice but to nod his head and go along with it.

However...

“I didn’t expect him to ask me to serve as the inspector...” she murmured. “It’s quite convenient for me, though.”

She was tasked with ensuring that no man would escape until the merchant ship reached Magna. Once they arrived at their destination, Elena was permitted to return right away. However, she knew that she had a long road ahead of her and that her plan had a fatal flaw: the Ishtaricans knew her face.

Elena chose to resolve this problem by purchasing a magical tool used by adventurers. The tiny earring-shaped tool allowed her to change her hair and eye color. After tidying up her hair with a few accessories, even her family members—who were more familiar with her than Lily—could barely recognize her. Then with a robe to hide her clothing, Elena was confident in her perfect preparations.

“Lady Elena, the ship is ready for you,” a civil servant called. They wouldn’t be accompanying her on the voyage.

“Thank you,” Elena replied. “Then I suppose I should board the ship too.”

“This might be too late, but are you sure about this? If your identity is revealed, I shudder to imagine how you would be treated.”

“But it’s too late to stop this.” She spoke in a composed manner, showing that she was perhaps a bit too gung ho about this mission.

“Will those men really come in handy?”

“They can’t run anymore, can they? I’m sure they’ll desperately act with everything they’ve got. Or else, the ladies they love may be on the chopping block.”

“You’re right. They might’ve gotten what they deserved, but I still sympathize.”

“I especially feel for their families.”

“Indeed. And where do you think the first prince obtained the magical tools he provided these men with?”

“I wonder... I tried asking, but he wouldn’t tell me.” This tool was indeed quite unique.
