5. Returning to the Capital

The day after I contracted with Cyril, we were back on the road to the capital. Before leaving, we met with Ilnato’s mayor to thank him for lending us a spot to camp and to inform him of our departure.

The detour was better maintained than expected, and we got through it without much trouble. Eventually, we made it to the highway we’d originally intended to take and arrived at the capital a few days later than we had planned.

I’d thought we’d head straight to the Royal Research Institute’s lodging house where my rooms were once we got inside the citadel, but we kept going. Before I knew it, the royal living quarters in the center of the citadel came into view.

“We’re headed for the royal quarters?” I asked in confusion as I peered out the carriage window.

Lord Glen chuckled. “Remember how you were going to move somewhere else in the citadel once your job as overseer was finished?”

Now that he mentioned it, the king had said that my living quarters would be relocated once I was of age, as per the perks of being a research fellow, and that my new quarters would be issued to me once I was done overseeing Celesark’s Floral Crucible.

I nodded in response, and Lord Glen pointed at the royal quarters.

“Your new rooms are in there.”

“Huh?!”

Only members of the royal family and those who served them directly were allowed to live in the royal quarters. As the adopted daughter of Margrave Sargent, I wasn’t a royal, nor a maid or attendant serving the royal family.

“Is it really okay for me to live there?” I asked nervously.

“It’s true you aren’t a member of the royal family,” he said with a gentle smile, “but research fellows are in the highest position in the Royal Research Institute and are treated on par with the royal family. You know how you have guards?”

“Yes. I always have my personal guard knights with me, so I understand that.”

My guard knights accompanied me everywhere as a means of constant protection.

“Right. And you’re the fiancée of a royal family member, so you need even more guards.”

My adoptive mother, Ariel, had taught me that fiancées to royal family members and other high-ranking nobles typically had guards... In my case, I had knights.

“What’s more, you’ve got titles from both the Radzuel Empire and the Holy Country of Celesark, and an alias from the Martec Republic. That means you’d need just as much protection as the royal family, if not more. This is why the royal quarters were chosen for your room since they’re easiest to guard.”

Emperor Royz of the Razuel Empire had given me the title “Savior of the Radzuel Empire,” which welcomed me as a friend of the beastmen despite being a human. It had the effect of letting me read the beastmen’s language and allowed me to enter and leave Radzuel freely.

In the Martec Republic, I’d been given the alias “The Saintess of Abundance” for bringing the dried earth back to life.
