Chapter 455: A spot of bother

Chapter 455: A spot of bother

I’ve completed the moat and ramparts surrounding the city, so I was going to meet with the person in charge for Yggurle Kingdom when that happened.

Among the knights that Yggurle Kingdom had dispatched, there were some who had served during the war with Triaria Kingdom more than 50 years ago.

The knightss who learned about Sophia suddenly snapped at Sopha and I.

「Oi, Sylphide. You, you’re a knight of Yggurle Kingdom and yet you married a human? You’re a disgrace to the Elves! How dare you show face to us!?」

「Wha!? Stop! Someone take him!」

One of the Elven Knights cursed Sophia, and the other knights around him hurriedly stopped him.

「Let me go! Don’t you guys think so too!? That woman became Triaria’s prisoner!」

「Shut up! Sophia-san was captured because she protected many of our comrades! She was betrayed by our kind and even lost her ability to use magic!」

Perhaps because there was a knew about the situation in those days, someone instructed those surrounding the man who disparaged Sophia to take him away.

I think after the incident with those criminal slaves, my boiling point had gotten lower. I couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to take a step forward, but I felt a soft touch wrap around both of my arms.

「!?」

「You can’t, Takumi-sama. Sophia-san is holding it in.」

「Takumi-sama, it is fine by me. Besides, even that fool is a noble who holds peerage. Please be patient here.」

「Kuh, okay Sophia. And thank you, Marnie.」

Not all of the knights taht belong to the Chivalric Order of Yggurle Kingdom were knights, but their percentage was quite high. According to Sophia, the man who made reckless remarks was a member of a group in the knightage that did not get along with her, and would, in one way or another, compete with her.

「Ahh, I see. The Great Spirits would have overheard that, huh. They didn’t have to notify Princess Mimir though.」

Just in case, I had come to an agreement with that commanding officer, so there’s no need to bring up what’s been swept under the rug.

「The Spirits were definitely angry. Especially the Wind Spirits who have a strong connection with Sylphide family.」

「I’ll have to tell Sylph to not act rashly, huh.」

「Yes.」

Spirits are fundamentally free. That was no different for the Great Spirits. Those women were beings that did as they like.

However, there was one thing they had in common. It was that the Spirits and the Great Spirits were good beings sent into this world by Goddess Norn. As such, the Wind Spirits could not stay silent when Sophia, who is deeply connected to them, was slighted.

Even so, currently in Yggurle Kingdom, the number of people who lost the blessing of the Spirits which makes them unable to use Spirit Magic or hear the voice of the Spirits was increasing, which is becoming a problem in the country.

「If they make Sylph any angrier, it would be bad.」

「Yes, Yggurle Kingdom might lose its Divine Wind Protection.」

「Hm, let’s go to the Sanctuary mansion then.」

「「Have a good day.」」

Finding the situation to be urgent, Sebastian and Maribelle saw us off as we teleported to the Sanctuary mansion.
