Galahad-san
Scouting Heath-san’s party 『Lion’s Fang』was a success.
I couldn’t imagine Lyle-san as a knight, but it should be fine if Heath-san and Bogah-san were there. Or so I’d like to think.
Heath-san and Bogah-san had wives and children, so they needed to make preparations to move.
They were apparently going to the Sanctuary by themselves.
At first, I had offered to give them a ride, but the Lion’s Fang owned a carriage, so they said they’d use that and refused.
From Wedgefort to Valor, then to the Sanctuary, they’d have to go through the Savage Lands, but as far as this route is concerned, it was practically no danger. That’s why Heath-san said he wanted their wives and children to experience a journey.
I quickly finished preparing Heath-san and the others’ houses, and spent my days occupied with my usual work and tasks.
On one such day, it wasn’t the 『Lion’s Fang』, but an unthinkable person arrived at the Sanctuary.
I just so happened to be at the annexed district when I encountered……
「Galahad-san! What are you doing here?」
「Ha ha ha, long time no see, Iruma-dono!」
Galahad von Bauer, a largely built, muscular man wearing sleek metal armor that I’ve never seen before, had appeared before me.
It was weird seeing the commander of the Imperial Guard Knights of the Valkyra not be in his usual armor.
「U-umm, you…… don’t seem to be here for work.」
It was unlikely work-related given how Galahad-san was driving the carriage himself. The carriage didn’t seem to belong to the Knight Order either.
「Gahahahaha, of course to immigrate.」
「Eh!? What about the order?」
「Obviously I’ve decided to retire. Fortunately, my son is more than capable of succeeding the position of knight commander. I’ve decided to live freely for the remainder of my years.」
Since the position of knight commander wasn’t a hereditary position, the fact that his son was able to succeed him meant that the son was quite competent.
As I was half dazed, a young attendant alighted from the carriage, then a woman was assisted down by that attendant.
「Dear, could you introduce me as well?」
「Oh, that’s right. Iruma-dono, this is my wife, Cornelia and her maid Karla.」
「I am Cornelia, Galahad’s wife. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Iruma-dono.」
「I am Karla, their maid.」
「I’m Takumi Iruma. Nice to meet you.」
The elegant beautiful woman Cornelia-san and Karla-san quickly introduced themselves.
When I asked for Galahan-san for the details, he spoke of how his eldest sone was sufficiently excellent to succeed him, so he decided to start a new life in the Sanctuary while he’s still healthy.
But Galahad-san shouldn’t have been at the age that would say the remainder of his life. He shouldn’t have been more than 50 years old.
In this world, the higher the level, the individuals who increased their magic power live beyond their human expectancy, which was why there were some cases rich hire adventurers to do some power leveling.
Working in the Knight Order, Galahad-san had obviously incomparably higher leveled than the average person. That’s why I think his body shouldn’t have declined.
Well, would it have been nice if he sent word to me before coming here? was what I was thinking, but if he passed through the barrier without problem, then does that mean there’s nothing to worry about.
「My other wife disliked the leaving the Capital. So I only brought Cornelia and Karla, an orphan without a family, with me.」
「I-is that so? …… I see. I’ll lead you to an open lot in the residential district.」
「Ou! I’ll leave it to you!」
Perhaps because he was the knight commander, Galahad’s voice was loud. I wonder if he would get along with the Dwarves.
I took over driving the carriage from Galahad-san, and steered it towards the residential district.
「Dear, it’s wonderful, isn’t it?」
「Right?」
「Yes, I can see the Spirit Tree just beyond the Spirit Spring. It’s a magical scenery, practically otherworldly.」
「Umu, I’m relieved to hear you’re pleased with it.」
Galahad-san and Cornelia-san seemed to have a good relationship. I hope I could also have a happy relationship with my spouses forevermore too.
The carriage advanced slowly, allowing them to enjoy the seasonal flowers in full bloom.
At that moment, Galahad suddenly raised his voice.
「!? I-is that……」
Galahad-san’s gaze fell onto the knights patrolling the Sanctuary.
