Chapter 467: Warm Welcome
Led by a knight, we finally arrived at the Rockford mansion which weve already visited a couple of times.
Completely different from Margrave Voltons castle, we passed through the gates of a Versailles palace-like mansion, and the carriage ran across the vast grounds until we reached the mansion.
Rockford City has gotten a lot cleaner.
The Purifier MDs have really spread, and this is a stopover between Volton and the Royal Capital, so it seems theyve made an effort on the maintenance of the city.Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om
The Rockford Earldom is located right next to the Volton Margravery, so of course, there were no foreign troops or monsters drifting in from the Savage Lands. Its not adjacent to the largest monster nest Forest of Death unlike the Volton Margravery, so it was one of the safer territories even within Valkyra Kingdom. They also work hard to suppress thieves, so could be said to have the best public order in the grain-producing regions in Valkyra Kingdom.
The capital of the Rockford territory capitalizes on its location as a halfway point between the Royal Capital and the Volton Margravery, and was experiencing prosperity that it hasnt seen in recent years.
When we arrived in front of Earl Rockfords mansion, I was so surprised panicked.
As for why
E-earl Rockford!
What!? With a face full of smiles, Earl Rockford himself came out to meet us. Moreover, it was not just Earl Rockford, Madam Rose and their eldest son Rod-kun, and a completely healthy Emilia-chan were also smiling and waving their hands excitedly.
The carriage stopped and I immediately got out to greet them.
Long time no see. E-earl Rockford, you coming to meet me yourself is Now, now, Iruma-dono, lets make our greetings inside the mansion.an honor Yes.
Welcome, Iruma-san, Sophia-san, Maria-san, and you must be Marnie-san. Ahh, Kaede-chan! I wanted to see you!
Mother!
Fufu, you got it, Takumi-sama. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the new line.
Haa~ so it really was that, after all.
Marnie looked like she was still clueless about what we were talking about, so I explained.
Madam Rose and the maids of the Rockford Earldom are excited about the new line of underwear that Maria and Kaede had made.
Underwear?
Then we talked about how, during our first visit, the underwear that Sophia and Maria were wearing had caused a culture shock to Madam Rose.
Nowadays, high class womens clothing stores in Volton and even in the Royal Capital sell them, but lets just say that womens clothing were boring before then.
So thats what it was.
Marnie was convinced, so we rested up and settled in a bit. Then, we heard a knock on the door.
Yes?
I have come to guide you.
Understood.
Led by the maid, we headed to the room where Earl Rockford was waiting.
