Book 6: Chapter 10


    The escort entered the city, which seemed like it had sprouted out of the ground, in a morous fashion.


    It would usually take years, or even decades for a city to be established and thrive. However, it didnt even take a week to construct the city with the assistance of the elves magic. It looks like Mom personally took to the field. Vyvyans magic can allow her to build aplete structure with materials.


    That said, Im certain that Vyvyan didnt use materials with mana to construct the city since Mommy Elizabeth said that my body cante into contact with mana in its current state.


    The city erupted from the ground on an empty in with a lush forest at the end of the in.


    Our horse hooves were now covered inyers of snow like willow catkins.


    The elves reside next to the city, so the temperature is really nice. The snow falling down from the sky wasnt excruciatingly cold, like before, and to the contrary gave off a mildly warm sensation.


    The wastnd surrounding the city had been opened up for farming.


    I went out of my way to stop and take a look at it, however; the fields were currently empty. It just looked like a nket of snow. A river flowed next to the city as if intended to guard it. The flowing river seemed like it was moisturising thend.


    The river didnt freeze even in winter because it was water that came from the elvennds. The water was clear, as though not a speck of gravel was to be found. The river flowed at a moderate pace. There were aqueducts dug up by the farmers, which created a separate area from the block ofnd. It looks like its the same as any other field.


    It didnt appear as though the people here were cking or anything. The crops here were the exact same as on the ins in the south. However, the food in the imperial capital wasnt worth much money because thend on therge southern ins of the continent had the richestnd.


    Mom went through a lot of trouble to repair thend. Rotational tige, aqueducts, windmills, watermills, everything was there.


    The tall mountains by the sea kept typhoons and rainstorms out. There was only the warm, moisturising air, winds, and rain from the elven side, so the southern ins have always had fertilends, thereby providing great harvests every year.


    Thats why the Rosvenor Empire earned the envy of everyone around. It was the best ce to produce food from in the south.


    Lets go, Onii-sama. You will not be able to figure out anything with the naked eye. Freya gave me a nudge from beside me.


    I nodded and then continued riding toward the city which belonged to me. For a moment, it felt surreal. Ive been to many cities and seen many insert person or ce wees you signs. However, this was the first city thatpletely belonged to me. Every pebble and every resident here were my assets.


    I looked up and saw therge city gates before me. Atop the city gates were the words Troys City.


    The golden letters shone in my eyes and shined on all of us like a spotlight. I looked at the city and spaced out. Everything here was mine. This ce is the starting point of my own journey, right?


    I used to struggle under Moms care. I wanted to do lots of things, but couldnt. But, now, Ivee to a city that belongs to me. I wasnt able to give orders in the past, but I could nowmand the people of a city.


    <em>Dont cry Your Highness I will I will watch you be be an outstanding king</em>


    <em>Can you see this, Mera? If you can see this, this shiny-gold light, would you smile? What does this shiny gold view look like from heaven? I dont know if I can be an outstanding king, but for you, to let you witness it, I shall advance along this path without stopping.</em>


    <em>Thank you, Mera.</em>


    <em>Ive taken revenge for you and know about your grievance. It was my fault I couldnt protect you. It was because I was weak. But I wont let that sort of thing happen again.</em>


    <em>Rest in peace, Mera.</em>


    What do you think, Your Majesty? Her Majesty personally wrote those letters. She then said that City meant nest. It seems that Her Majesty has no talent for naming, but that also shows the meaning of this city, which is Troy, your nest, Your Majesty.


    Castell chuckled softly, and then the escort stopped at the entrance. Castell tugged on his horse reins and then made an invitational hand gesture.


    He said, You must be the first to enter, Your Majesty, as this is your nest. Just like Hillier City, the Phoenixs Nest. Troy City must now rise under your rule. I hope that the light of prosperity at Troys City will brighten the night sky when the Souths Hillier City household lights light up one day.


    Ill consider that a good luck charm.


    I smiled before riding over to the entrance and stood in the shadow formed by the city gate. I looked at the perfectly set stone path in the city.


    This ce was designed exactly as Freya and I designed it. On both sides of the stone path ahead were the denizens bowing, awaiting our arrival. These people were residents of the small town originally here, as well as people from other viges in the surroundings. They came here after the new city had been built. However, I could see that they werent happy to move into the city. To the contrary, they wore bitter expressions.


    Lets go, Your Majesty. Nier and Freya came up behind me.


    I turned around to look at them and then asked, Wheres Luna?


    Nier pursed her lips with dissatisfaction and replied, Luna is but just a personal servant. She has no right to walk behind you.


    Imanded Nier without allowing her any chance to say anything, Call her here.


    Nier looked at me and sighed before riding to the back.


    Not long after, Luna was seated atop Niers horse with a scared and excited gaze as she came over beside me. She softly said, Your Majesty Your Majesty I do not think that this is a good idea I I


    You what?


    I am just a personal servant My status cannotpare to Miss Freya and Miss Niers I I have no right to stand by your side.


    Yes, yes. I stroked her head with a smile and then looked at the gigantic golden letters. I said, You have no right as my personal servant. But do you have the right to enter the city behind me as the friend of the prince, the master of Troys City?


    Your Majesty!


    Luna cheerfully nodded, while Nier shook her head helplessly. Freya chuckled and said, Let us go, Onii-sama. Remember those by your side as you step onto this stone path. This will be your starting point. And of course, I will not let it be your endpoint. Your end point is the throne in the royal pce of Hillier City. I am not ruling out the possibility that a throne might be moved into this city. A throne that belongs to you, that is. Not everyone has the determination to be a king, but you are different. You have the determination and courage to be a king. While very immature, an eagle that struggles through the turbulence will eventually make it to the sky!


    Alright. Thank you, Freya.


    Freyas words revved me up and made my blood dance. I kicked my horse. It neighed and then walked into the shadow of the city gates.


    Wee Your Majesty, Prince of the Rosvenor Empire, Prince Troy Gdriel Rosvenor!!!


    The people weed me loudly, but the vibe they gave was like when I was dealing with leaders in middle school. You would not call out with sincerity, from the heart, if you didnt know someone or if you didnt know he was important to you.


    But thats fine.


    Ill definitely make them obey me from the bottom of their hearts, follow my lead, and conquer for me!
