《The Great Barrier Master》12.Chapter 4: Let's actually know the NPC's name ! (part 2)
Advertisement
After i finished changing my clothes, i gone out of my room. Just right outside of the door however, a maid was waiting. Aside from the usual maid clothes, she's a beastkin with yellow eyes, hair, fox ears and tail with white tip.
Though i have seen beastkin's working in here before, this is the first time i saw her. More over, she was looking at me with eyes of devotion.
...Probably just admiring the angel behind me though.
"...Lady Yukari, the king want to have breakfast with you."
Ho? The opportunity opened itself. Maybe all that luck is useful after all.
It's kind of strange though... I never give out this name to anyone aside from that angel.
...Could it be a surprise event?
"O-Okay, i will be right on it. Thank you miss..."
"... Can you please stop messing around, Lady Yukari ?"
"...Boo~.You're no fun, Ran."
"And please don't pout like that either, Lady Yukari. Think about your dignity for awhile."
...Yeah yeah, i know it was Ran.... Really, you're no fun either.
"I'm a bit surprise though, how could you get in here so fast ?"
"I'm also surprised myself. After i have done what you asked earlier, i'm thinking of a way to return to you when i stumble upon a maid's application test for the palace. After i successfully got the job as a maid here, today i have been called to greet you in person... It's as if everything just happen to follow my way."
"Yeah... her power is just that frightening, isn't it?"
"It's just as you said, Lady Yukari.... Speaking of, where is her now? I just felt her coming into this place just a moment ago..."
"She's just doing some of the thing i told her to do... She'll be back, i'm sure. Hurry up, we can't let the king wait isn't it?"

8:45 am
"...On perhap of this kingdom, let us begin our morning meal."
Politely , the king declare the begining of our breakfast. Currently we're in the dining room on the north side of the castle, eating on the long table set in the middle of the room. The maid, Ran included, were standing on the side of the wall.
Well then, Thank for the food~!... even this get translated.
The stir-fry grasshopper salad today is also delicious.
"...Pardon me, is that what you do in your homeland?" (princess)
"Um...Y-Yes it is, Your Highness. Before every meal, we give our gratitude to the nature for giving us food."
" Is that so... how lucky of you. To still be able to give thank to nature..."
"?"
"Ah... No-Nothing!"
Hm... I see. So it's like that....
"...S-Speaking of, I'm very sorry that you have been dragged here because of our trouble."
Ah... So they do feel sorry about that. This would rule out the "cruel royalty" stereotype.
" Ah no... It's fine... Being dragged by that angel, it cannot be helped, right?"
A drop of tear gently fall to the ground. Seeing that, the princess rushed to my side and hugged me tightly.
...Uwaaan~~, i should have slept earlier.
"...Truly, we're very sorry."
...Oops, they look really depressed now. Even the king have clenched his hand underneath the table.
I guess i shouldn't said "how can i go home now" , or i won't fulfilled my objective ... It's so tempting though.
"It's okay, really.... Say, since it was so hectic yesterday, i haven't had a chance to learn your name. Can I ?"
"... I supposed we haven't introduced ourselve before. Very well."
The king then slowly put his right hand over his chest, before introducing himself. The princess is also doing the same thing.

"My name is Marden Vinthas, King of Regrana. I welcome you into this kingdom."
"And my name is Adile Vinthas, The First Princess. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"...My name is Maribel Hearn...Though i may be inexperience, please take care of me."
"..."
A moment of silent continue to go on before it have been broken by laughter. After a while, the king spoke while still chuckle a little.
"Hahaha... Miss, you should only said that when you're about to get married, you know."
"Y-Yeah, i only said that as a joke, since it's too gloomy ealier..."
"Is that so...I see..."
"Um... Let resume eating our breakfast, please. The salad was really delicious."
"Hahaha... You're right! Servants, bring us more food! Let treat her more of our proud delicacy!"
"Father, please restrain yourself ! You're becomed way too excited again."
...Well, with that i have known the two's name.
Next, let turn to the magician.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
