54-Guard of the royal capital




 
 A huge wall surrounds the entire capital in a circle to protect people's safety. This wall has never fallen down since the founding of the country, and it has protected the city from invasion from other countries many times.

 The guards, who are also citizens and soldiers of the country, are somewhat proud of their appearance, and they scrutinize the walls to see if any suspicious characters enter the house.

 The Sowlett family is an aristocrat, even though they are barons, so they let the carriage advance through the long line of people leading from the gate like the wind.

 The envious gazes of travelers and merchants pierce us.

'Hey, look at that. That's the dragon insignia. Is it that famous dragon slayer?

"Seriously? It's so cool. I want to be a nobleman, too.

 You can hear the praise and envy in the background.

 Nord Dad is embarrassed and Erna Mom is smiling at him. Apparently, Mother Erna isn't shy unless she's talking about her past.

 She looked so shy when Roomba was talking before.

 Well, I'll be fine with that part, because I'll watch the play and then listen to Roomba carefully.

''Hey, is it true that the guards at the east gate today are those guys?

''Those guys were at the south gate three days ago...''

"Let's hope they're not going to make it. Let's hope it doesn't hit us.

 We hear a voice that comes here and there from the carriages that are lined up.

 It seems that there are two dangerous guards at the east gate through which we are passing.

 What do they mean by "dangerous"? Are there such strong warriors? Or do the merchants and travelers who try to enter through here have a very guilty past or are they trying to bring in some of their belongings?

 Then we arrived at the gate and parked our carriages.

 The road is wide enough for three carriages to pass through. And the massive wall that stretches so far up into the sky. The wall alone looks like it's thirty meters thick.

''Let me see the nobleman's chapter.''

 A pair of men in silver and red metal armor approached the carriage. The armor covering their entire bodies made a crunching sound every time they moved.

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

 Oh, are these two the dangerous twosome?

 From the looks of it, he's a pretty normal looking guy with short hair and a skinhead. In terms of strength, Bartolo has a much scarier face than me. There are a lot of adventurers in the royal capital, so I'm sure they're used to this level of severity.

''Well then, I'm going to go show you the nobility chapter for a bit.

I'm not busy.

 Nord Dad and I get off the train to show the nobleman's insignia to enter the royal capital.

 From the cool look on Father Nord's face, I wonder if the duo is okay. Or maybe they just don't know, I follow them out of curiosity.

''Yes, this is the noble chapter.''

 Father Nord pulls something from his coat pocket that looks like a notebook. On it is the dragon's crest, shining in gold.

 Apparently, that notebook can be used as proof of identity.

 The short-haired guard confirms it with a blank expression, and when he looks at Nord-Dad's face, his expression is filled with astonishment.

 ''What's that?'' I wonder if he's a big fan of the Dragon Slayer that I've seen in every village and town I've ever been in.

''It's ... beautiful.''

'What? .....

 What did he just say to this man?

 Dad Nord looks at the man with a dubious expression, and the man looks away slightly, embarrassed.

'No, whatever. I have indeed confirmed it. You are Baron Nord-Slowlett, aren't you?

'Yeah, yeah. Yes.

'Then we'll do a light inspection of the wagon and ask some questions, just in case?

Yes, sir.

 As I say this, the other guards go to the wagon to check it out.

 By the way, the skin-headed guard has been gazing at me for a while now. Have they done something to distract you?

''What is your purpose in King's Landing?''

"To attend a social gathering of nobles hosted by the Duke of Leengrande.

'Well it was definitely a week later. Where's the crew?

Eight men, including servants and guards.

 It seems that if you have a higher baronetcy, you can skip these things, but the Throwlett family is a baronet. That's not going to happen since they are on the low side for a baronet.

 Then, as the indifferent questions were repeated and I was bored, I was looking around and was unexpectedly approached by a voice.

''Is this your first time in King's Landing?''

 The guard sits down and smiles at me. He's still higher than my eyes, but he's probably just trying to keep me company in my spare time. I thought he was a scary person because he glared at me like he was in a bad mood, but he's a nice guy, isn't he?

 I think everyone is a little too frightened just because he's a little strong.

'Yes, this is my first time,'

'I see. By the way, may I ask your name?

Alfried-Slowett, sir?

How old are you?

 Huh? Do I look that much like a little boy? I'm still almost seven years old for this. Nevertheless, I thought that at a time like this, he would be able to tell me the best places and sights in the royal capital.

''I'm almost seven years old.

'Heh, so you're almost seven years old... a little young... or maybe this is just the way it is.

...What?

No, nothing at all. Ha-ha.

 I have a feeling that he just said something outrageous. What is this chill?

 The guard is smiling and patting my head. And then his hands gradually moved around my shoulders, arms, and waist, grabbing my ass.

"Hi!

 I'm retreating as fast as I can, feeling my chastity at stake. What the hell was this man trying to do?

 That crawling hand seems to cling to my body and it's creepy.

''What's wrong?''

 A skinhead guard approaches with a fresh expression on his face.

 Why does he have such a fresh smile on his face when he is s*xually harassing me?

 I'm under the illusion that maybe I'm wrong.

'How old are you?'

'What? Thirty-two, sir?

Good, good. Do you have a wife?

Of course he's here?

What is your type of man?

What? Male? Is that a relevant question? Hey, where are you touching?!

 If you look at it, it looks like Father Nord's chastity is in danger too. You don't care about the purpose of coming to King's Landing or security anymore, do you? I think the question is wrong.

 Well, they're certainly a couple of messed up guys. No wonder they're so scared.

"Wagon check complete! No problem!

 The voice of an angel to me and my dad, Nord.

Yeah, well, we're going in. Come on, Al!

Yeah. I have to get to work, I have to hurry.

 We hurriedly get into the carriage, thinking we can't stay in this dangerous place.

 The guards look off the carriage with a lonely voice and say, "Oh.

"Mr. Lowe, please proceed quickly.

Okay, okay. Let's hurry up.

 At the sound of Father Nord's voice, Mr. Lowe in the gyoja-dai hurriedly cracked his whip.

 Perhaps Mr. Lowe himself felt his chastity in jeopardy after watching the earlier exchange. He has a very frightened expression on his face.

''Both Al and you look pale, okay? What's wrong?

It's nothing, sir.

 I couldn't tell you. I can't believe I was just molested by a guy.
