That's good. I don't want to get blood on Lunamaría's hands.
...... but there will come a time when the time will come. But there will come a time when I will bloody my hands to protect you, Mr. Will.
...... I'll do my best to make sure that day never comes.
And we rode forward with our horses.
The speed of the horse rides up a notch.
The roads are peaceful and trouble-free, and we pass through several inn towns.
At this rate we'll be in King's Landing tomorrow.
"I'll meet the king there.
"Yes. But first we have to meet with the ministers and the royal family. We have to prove that Master Will is the Prince-to-be.
"It's nice, but how
To that question, Anastasia irresponsibly said, "Well? I'm not a minister, and then unleash the irresponsible words.
I'm not a minister," he says irresponsibly.
Well, it's true, she's the captain of the Kingsguard, and her authority will be until she finds me and brings me back.
So I didn't blame her and rode my horse.
The capital of King's Landing was in sight.
The capital of Midnia, Alexes.
I am simply astounded by its majesty and enormity.
I've seen it on the map, but it's amazing.
Anastasia says proudly, "Uh-huh".
"The biggest city in the country. No, it's the biggest city on this continent.
It's amazing, I only know mountains, so it just amazes me.
"So was I at first. I was overwhelmed when I was just out of the woods. I remember seeing endless cobblestones and being giddy.
"Surely there are fine cobblestones leading to the capital.
The endless cobblestones are overwhelming.
As I gazed at the huge architecture of the royal city like a grown-up, I noticed that the girl in front of Anastasia's face was blue.
What's the matter with her? I called out because I was curious, but Lunamaria smiled back at me.
...... nothing. Maybe I got drunk with all the people.
That's a lot of work.
Lunamaría is a daughter who lives on the hearing aid.
If there are more people, the amount of information increases dramatically.
You'd hear human breathing, the pounding of the heart, the creaking of bones. You would hear the sounds of life. The sound of carriages moving through the stones, the cries of livestock, the scraping of dishes.
It's all in your head. It's crazy not to be confused.
I'm concerned about Luna Maria's condition, but she smiles nonchalantly and says, "It's all right.
It won't take long. It's always like that. But more than that--
"More than that?
"--no, it's nothing.
Lunamaria is more than that, there is a sense of foreboding in the air from King's Landing. I wanted to say that, but I couldn't, because we were too excited about King's Landing.
You'll hear about it later, but it certainly wouldn't affect me if it was said now.
I was that excited to see the capital in front of me.
