Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

16 - Chapter Xvi -- Turning Of 14 Years



Two years after coming of age, I turned 14.

It seems that I'm finally going to serve as a royal court warder. The current palace warder will be retiring soon.

Things are suddenly getting very hectic in the Bertham household. Lady Elsa has been visiting the royal palace more and more often. The other day, she did not return for 5 days without any notice. I was so worried that I went to the main gate of the palace several times to pick her up, and the soldiers on guard laughed at me.

A soldier who couldn't bear to look at me opened a small gate near the main gate and showed me the gate. There was a large, wide stone bridge leading straight from the main gate to the palace, and the view of the palace from the far end of the bridge was beautiful.

Once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to get out. With this thought in mind, I have been going out to the west district in my spare time and shopping at various stores.

I find a variety of rare foods, weapons, and armor, and it's quite enjoyable. Since the money I have earned from the golden bird is still untouched, I can buy almost anything I want to buy. However, I hardly need anything at the moment. I can eat at a restaurant-like place for a while.

I also went to see a slaver. I could not see inside the store. I tried to look for signs, but there seemed to be about 20 people inside, but I couldn't tell who they were. I wonder what happened to the girls who were brought with them. If they were alive, they would all be adults.

Hunting in the woods, which had become a distant thing for a while, has been going recently. Of course, Eril is with me. We have trained together for some time and she is like a sister to me. I will not be able to see Eril as often as I would like if I enter the royal palace. I wanted to make some memories while I have some free time.

That day was the day when Erza went out to the palace as usual. After seeing off Lady Elsa and her escort, Master Falco, from the carriage, Eryl said he wanted to go hunting.

We decided to go to the forest to get some exercise and hunt a big game for the first time in a while. In the past few years, I have learned to ride a horse. I'm still not as good as Eril, but I'm proud to say that I'm getting pretty good at it.

We line up our horses and move toward the north gate. After leaving the gate and crossing the bridge, we are immediately in the forest. I used to cling to Eryl's back when I couldn't ride my horse, but that has stopped recently. If I ask for a ride on the back now, will Eryl give me a ride?

With these thoughts in mind, we continue to hunt at our leisure for a few hours, and before we know it, it's lunchtime.

"I'm hungry, aren't you?

"I'll cook today. I got azuki beans and sugar in town. I also have salt. Miss, you can look forward to it.

"What? What are you going to make? Will it take long? No, you're going to have to serve me lunch."

I was going to make zenzai, but he refused. I have no choice but to put out my lunch box and start eating it.

"Zenzai? Sweet? Wow, that sounds delicious. Then let's leave early. Go back to the house and cook!

I put the azukis into the endless storage. This infinite storage and the clairvoyant mirror are indispensable items when hunting. They are wonderful items.

We get on our horses to return to the house. When you come to the exit of the forest, the horse stops unexpectedly. Immediately after that,

"Boom!"

"Dawn!"

"Dooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I hear something explode. Eryl and I look at each other and hurry to the forest exit. As soon as we exit the forest, we see the north gate completely sealed off by the Royal Army.

Again we hear explosions. Turning our eyes in the direction of the sound, we saw a huge number of wyverns attacking the palace.

Wyverns! Why? The palace, the palace is in danger!

Eryl exclaims with a look of astonishment on her face. Is this why the Royal Army has blocked the north gate? But it's not good that the royal palace is under attack.

As we are stunned, a soldier from the Royal Army who is blocking the north gate comes toward us.

"You must be Rinos-dono and Eril-dono. We have taken the palace. My master wants to see you both.
