A few days later.

“I plan to leave my seat for about a month. Please take care of things while I’m gone.”

After his aftereffects had somewhat subsided, Otto revealed that he would be going to the “Sanctuary”.

“Where is this ‘Sanctuary’ located?”

“You’ll find out when we get there.”

Otto replied to Camille’s question.

“May I come along too?”

“It wouldn’t be great if I went alone, would it?”

“I understand. I’ll prepare myself.”

The next day.

“I’m off now.”

“Please take care and be safe.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Otto left for the “Sanctuary” with Camille, leaving the Kingdom of Lota behind.

Approximately ten days later.

“We’re almost there.”

Otto pointed to the distant white city.

“Is the ‘Sanctuary’ located in the Kingdom of Koutachi?”

“Yes.”

The Kingdom of Koutachi was the territory of the Koutachi family.

The Koutachi family was one of the most prestigious households on the continent, having produced outstanding magic swordsmen for generations.

Although their status was not as prominent as it used to be, they were still a well-known household that everyone on the continent was aware of.

“Where exactly is it located?”

“Inside the castle.”

“Uh…?”

Camille tilted his head in confusion.

“But only members of the Koutachi family can enter the castle.”

“How are you planning to enter?”

“Just enter openly. It’s that simple.”

Otto chuckled.

“I believe you’re not planning to commit suicide.”

The king of a rural village openly entering the castle of the Koutachi family?

It was a perfect suicide plan.

Of course, the probability of being kicked out even before entering was higher.

“Of course not. Why would I commit suicide?”

Otto spoke and moved towards the city visible in the distance.

The Kuntachi Kingdom, although not large in scale, was so beautiful that it was incomparable.

The city, situated in the midst of a vast forest of coniferous trees, was composed of all buildings made of white stones. In addition, the architectural style was luxurious.

It was not for nothing that it was evaluated as the most beautiful city in the northwest of the continent.

‘I didn’t realize that when I only saw it in the game, but it’s really cool to see it in person.’

While enjoying the scenery of the Kuntachi Kingdom, Otto headed towards the white castle in the center of the city.

“Stop right there.”

When they arrived at the castle gate, the guards blocked Otto and Camille’s path.

“It seems like you’re travelers, but this is not a place where just anyone can enter. Please turn back.”

Then Camille spoke to Otto,

“Now what do we do?”

“I told you. We’re going to enter boldly.”

“How…?”

“Like this.”

Otto said this to Camille and then took out a necklace from his pocket and showed it to the guard.

“Show this necklace to Duke Conrad. He will order you to let me in.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Duke Conrad will have time to see a necklace sent by a stranger like you? I don’t know what kind of joke you’re trying to play, but stop talking nonsense and get out of here. Otherwise….”

“If you ignore me, you’ll lose your head.”

“What…?”

“I’m a very important person, and this necklace is like a symbol proving my relationship with Duke Conrad. So stop talking and show this necklace to Duke Conrad. Otherwise, you will lose your head. I Promise you.”Otto spoke and moved towards the city visible in the distance.

Otto pressured the guard with a cold voice.

“…”

The guard hesitated for a moment, then accepted the necklace and took a step forward.

“Then please wait a moment. I will report to my superior. But if you were just spouting nonsense, know that it will be considered an insult to our country, and you will receive severe punishment.”

“I understand.”

Otto did not even blink at the security guard’s words.

“What is that necklace?”

“Shall we call it a free pass? It’s like an all-purpose pass.”

“You won’t tell me everything about it?”

“Then it wouldn’t be fun.”

“…….”

“By the way, it’s cool here. Is it because it’s in the north?”

“Probably.”

“It will be even colder in the winter, won’t it? Than here in Lota?”

“That’s an obvious thing to say….”

Otto spent time chatting with Camille in front of the gate.

About two hours had passed since the security guard disappeared.

The tightly closed gate opened.

“Lord Duke Conrad Kotachi!”

Along with the knight’s loud shout, the lord of the Kotachi family, Conrad, appeared.

Then Otto kneeled and opened his mouth towards the gentleman who looked like Duke Conrad.

“Nice to see you, maternal grandfather.”

At that moment.

“Grandfather…?”

Camille doubted his ears.

Because if he was the maternal grandfather… Then Otto’s mother was actually the daughter of Duke Conrad.
