Chapter 38: Walpurgis Night (3)
It was now the evening on the day after our boutique visit.
We boarded a carriage. I quietly looked out the window. The carriage kept shaking because of the stone pavement, so I couldn’t calmly enjoy the passing scenery. I decided to just close my eyes. Lapis was also similarly quiet. Like this, we quietly arrived at Niflheim Palace.
Once we stepped down from our carriage at the front gate of the palace, an old woman welcomed us. She was a witch and she bowed so low that her face nearly touched her knees. The witch hat on her head was so large, that if it weren’t for her hooked nose, it would have engulfed her entire head.
She spoke in a mouse-like, squeaky voice.
“Your Highness Rank 71st Dantalian?”
“You are correct.”
“Mm, Dantalian……Dantalian……Oh, here you are.”
The witch wrote something on the scroll with her finger.
“Your name is at the very end, so it was easy to find. Your Highness’ position is much better than those who are at some vague number like 32 or 46. Referentially, people must be in places that can be found easily. Hihi. Now then, Your Highness. You just have to follow this child now.”
