Chapter 207: (Self Edited) Return to the Royal Capital (2)
After the meeting ended, I headed to the Hou Household’s main residence. Though the main residence had suffered from the looting of the Second Army, it hadn’t been set on fire. While the entrance and windows were broken, and some valuable items were stolen, there was no other damage. Some of the lost furnishings hadn’t been recovered, but the house had already been repaired and now functioned as the lodging for high-ranking officials of the Hou Household army.
As I stepped down from the carriage, the knights saluted me.
“Your Excellency Yuri! Welcome back!” (??)
The head of the security team spoke. It wasn’t a mistake, but I’d prefer to hear it from a woman rather than sweaty soldiers…
“Thank you for your service. Are Shamu and Lily-san here?” (Yuri)
‘I came here to meet Shamu and Lily-senpai. Both of them have been busy lately, going to Mital or Karakumo, but I heard they were in the royal capital now.
If they were in the royal capital, this main residence would be the safest place for them to stay. The royal castle’s residential area had become difficult to access due to traps triggered by the Queen’s Sword during the assassination incident. Without fixing that, it would be inconvenient to use. Additionally, the Queen’s Sword, who was familiar with the structure and responsible for security, was now doing another job, leaving the royal castle unattended.’
“Yes, my lord! They are probably at the hospital.” (??)
‘Hospital? I couldn’t help but furrow my brows at the unexpected answer.’
