A few days later, Mirwa and Albe were seen on the ship. They were on their way to Krumfal in the Heedata Empire. They planned to stay there for a time, then sail south to Garbee and on to Agartha. Of course, it was Mirwa who made this plan.
She remained lying in bed the whole time she was in the cabin. At first glance, it seems as if she was seasick, but this was not the case, and she had a good appetite. She ate all the food served to her.
Albe watched the situation in a daze. He felt no emotion. He was just going with the flow.
He had expected that she would ask for Albe in the cabin, but surprisingly, she never did. Apparently, the atmosphere of this small cabin did not arouse her s*xual desire.
"I can see the harbor!
Loud voices of sailors were heard from the ship. I hear people's footsteps. They are now in a private room with two beds in a row, albeit small. There were about ten rooms on this floor. The people who were staying there went to the deck in droves.
This was followed by what sounded like a rumbling of the earth from the bottom of the ship. All the people who were sleeping in the bottom of the ship were heading for the deck. The ship was shaking, perhaps because of that.
"...... looks like we're almost there."
Albe calls out to Milwa, who is sleeping with a blanket over her head. She does not respond to his voice at all. He sighs loudly and speaks to her again.
"Hey, I'm coming up on deck.
"Shut up."
I was miffed. I didn't think I could talk to him like that. But I couldn't say it out loud. I knew that if I did, I would get into trouble again.
He turned to leave the room in silence. At that moment, he suddenly heard Milwa's voice.
"He is troubled. Be quiet."
"Distressed?
I couldn't help but raise my voice. I had no idea that this woman, who I thought had nothing to do with worries, was thinking ....... He kept looking at the bed where she lay in silence.
She looked like a huge chrysalis because of the blanket covering her head. Suddenly his eyebrows began to wiggle, and Mirwa's face suddenly appeared.
"There is another way to enter Agartha. After leaving the capital, head north and pass through a town called Kushana, and you will find the Juka Mountains. You must go over there."
"Mountains ......? You're going over the mountains?"
"......"
Mirwa did not answer Albe's question, but stared at the low ceiling. In his mind, Albe muttered that the route was impossible. I don't know how high the Juka Mountains are, but it would take a lot of physical strength to cross the mountains. Albe did not have the confidence to do it.
"After crossing the Juka Mountains, the forests of Lunois spread out. The village of Siljus is there.
"The Village of Cyrus: ......"
"Yes. It would be interesting to destroy it first, but I can't find a way to get over that mountain range. There are many dragons there. If we venture into the mountains, they will kill us. I'm confident I can escape, but you are the problem. I am not confident that I can escape with you.
Albe bit his lip. An indescribable sense of defeat welled up in him. As if she did not care about his feelings, Milwa continued to speak.
It's all right. Let's take our time and think about it in Krumphal.
At that moment, the ship began to wobble. Mirwa jumped out of bed as if she were going to jump off.
"I think we're here. Let's get off! The end of a tedious boat trip.
With her words, Albe gathered his luggage, which he had packed in advance.
"Tell them to take everything to the Hotel Krumphal. Hmph. I have heard that the emperor stays at that hotel. I'm looking forward to it. We still have money. If possible, I'd like to stay in the room where the emperor stays. The view from that room must be magnificent.
With these words, Milwa left the cabin with a cheerful expression on her face. Albe, who remained alone, continued to look in the direction she had left.
Albe, who remained alone, continued to look in the direction she had gone.
"Hmmm. It's good, isn't it?"
Mirwa muttered this as soon as she arrived at the Hotel Krumfal. Indeed, it was a completely different hotel from the ones we had stayed in before.
First of all, this hotel was different even from the passage to the entrance.
Walking down the narrow passage and turning to the right, there was a magnificent waterfall spreading out below. I could tell that this was probably caused by the erosion of the waves. However, the idea of building a passageway on top of the precipitous cliff was a surprise to both of us.
Where in the world does the water of this waterfall come from? It was not likely to be water from the sea, since it was quite high above the sea level. With such a scene on the right, we proceeded along the passage. Looking further to the left, you can see a magnificent sunset about to sink into the sea.
While I was admiring such a view, I saw a large door in front of me. When I arrived there, the door slowly opened, and the boys and maids greeted me from inside with a reverent bow. It was as if they were welcoming some royalty.
They were ushered into the lobby, where they were shown to a sofa. In any other country, they have been processed at the counter when they stay in a hotel, but they could not find such a procedure in this hotel. When I wondered why, a beautiful young lady came up to me and told me that this was where I was supposed to go through the formalities. She politely explained the hotel's services.
She said politely, "I would like to stay in the room where the emperor stays.
Suddenly, Mirwa said something like that. The woman nodded with a smile on her face, not at all dismayed.
"Thank you very much. I am sorry, but the emperor's room is currently occupied.
"In use? Who is staying here?"
Yes. His Majesty the Emperor.
"My God! The emperor of Heedata is staying here?"
I can't tell you any more than that. I'll leave it to your imagination.
Mirwa said nothing more in response to her brilliant response.
Nevertheless, the room they had chosen was one of the best in the hotel. Mirwa had no hesitation in choosing this room, as she had been told that it had a balcony with a view of the Jukka Mountains to the far north on the right and a magnificent view of the ocean on the left.
"Now, let me show you around."
After the formalities were completed, the woman stood up and went to show them to their room. However, the luggage that had been brought in from the ship had not arrived. When Albe informed her of this, she smiled and opened her mouth.
She smiled and said, "Your luggage has already been taken to your room.
Normally, the luggage would have been brought in front of them, and then the hotel staff would have taken it to their rooms.
As he walked out into the large lobby, he suddenly saw a large painting on the wall. Albe stopped in front of the painting.
"What is this painting?"
Yes. The queen of Agartha, Lycorette.
Why is a painting of Queen Agartha displayed here?
"Yes. The founder of the Hotel Krumfal is Mr. Lycoretto.
The woman explained that the land of Krumfal was originally given to King Agartha by His Majesty the Emperor of the Heedata Empire, and that the land has been leased by Agartha ever since.
"Hmmm. It's complicated, isn't it?
With that, Mirwa started to walk away. As Albe walked down the corridor, he looked again and again at the picture of Likolet hanging on the wall. .......
