Chapter 24 Part 3

Part 3.

King Ambrosius and his family, in other words, the Fremmevir kingdom royal family,

They normally live in royal castle Shreiber.

There are deeper intricate passage and numerous rooms back between the audience area,

It was a private area for them.

The Shreiber castle innermost part called as "Internal castle"(内城-Uchijiro).

The height of castle structure increase as it toward the center, (shape like this 人 , the more it close to the center, the more it height.)

There also a highest tower part.

This place was originally, once was called as "Shreiber fort" as it was former fort itself. 

The tower's part was an extension that build later.

It previously-built with robust superiority hence,

It was lacking in pomp befit of a place that royal family live.

From such an origins, the windows structure of this part area have poor light as it have less natural light.

The lamp using an expensive scaly beast oil regardless the day or night.

The soft light, not flashy combine with the decorated furniture that precise carved,

The room was filled with a relax atmosphere.

[Please send a messenger to Martina of Kshyperuk, told her that Emurys already safely return home-arimasu.]

There were 2 person in the room.

One man is King Ambrosius.

and the other one was younger than Ambrosius, 

He is the man which has similar trace of Ambrosius but thinner.

[Um, some unexpected did not happen for a long time. after leaving Kshyperuk, just when was things happen?]

[...approximately 3 years ago-arimasu.]

[...Is that so, by the way, had you meet with "that person" which i mentioned before? even many thing happens after, i have a hunch that another great deal will happens like the long time ago]

Ambrosius gaze at the glasses in his hand while shake the liquid slowly.

[...But your majesty, as i thought, it still too early to discuss about this matter.]

[As your majesty mentioned, "Rio". there will be no other person except this room hear this]

[...Understood, "Father"]

The eldest child of Ambrosia, The No.1 to succeed the throne, "Riothamus Harus Fremmevir" had taken a breath and lowered his tense eyebrow.  

[I thought this is a good time for this matter, The report about new model completion  that created from cooperation between Silver Phoenix knights order and LAB have just arrived. the news about Emurys returned already spread across the country. every one are expecting the new era, it is a big milestone]

Riothamus was about to open mouth for rebuttal but he closed it immediately. 

Ambrosius was plotting something because he look like enjoy it. 

It useless to say anything when his father made that expression.

His well-known experience remind him.

Beside, there also some truth in Ambrosius words.

A descriptive separate about big milestone is require.

[About the remaining task, one after another, no, that is a "contract" it what i should say right?]

[Silver Phoenix knights order... about "That boy" right?. It would be fine to bring the boy to "Them". but the problem is not only the about "Rules" , they also quite bad tempered.]

Even though they have similar appearance,

There was still a distinction in their atmosphere.

It seems that fortitude trait of Ambrosius characteristic did not handed down to his son.

[Kuh, Exactly, You're worry too much about it.]

[After all, thing turned out like this. or rather, Father is too much rough]

What is his aims for? Ambrosius stifle a smile when he about to laugh.

On the contrary, Riothamus was holding back a sigh.

[Try looking at more big picture, Rio. that is what to say a detailed plan, do you want to struggling in the future?]

[That is why i said father is too rough-desu!]

Their engaging dialogue like good one or bad one as parent-child conversations continued for a while.

There will be none who learn about that.

*

Then, a few days after that.

At the corridor of Shreiber castile, there was a figure of one man.

[As i thought, Nothing better than living in the hometown itself! It's like a dream when I thought about the cramped life up until yesterday!]

The 4th rank to succeed Fremmevir kingdoms throne, that person is "Emurys Geijer Fremmevir".

He express the feeling of liberation by stretching his whole body and begin to walk with his current mood.

His appearance this time displaying "Black scale leather", the highest grade sturdy leather equipment that made from rare magical beast,

Beside, there also a haori coat (Japanese formal coat) with well tailored cloak.

There was a thing like a no-frills practical sword at his lower waist. 

The large armor was customized to match his physique form have the look of expensive price equipment,

It was a suitable cloth wear by one of royal member but it also look rough to certain degree as well.

The work that made nicely to matched his natural virtue bearing.

Even on the door corner, He still seem to have a good mood.

He was study in other country until recently,

The one he wore now still  the same tightness tailored cloth as the time that he still studied abroad.

It could be say that the one who tailor it must be the top notch skill for able to match his muscular physique body.

To speak in addition, it was not something that far away from his favorite style.

The one that make the royal family unhappy,

His favorite style such as "robustness" and "mobility",

It give the feeling that specialized in very practical.

In that sense,

While it was easy to move with this custom made armor, it's also durable made.

It was made to fulfill his favorite style.

The equipment that he wear on whole body, he seem to wear it with exhilaration when he walking around in royal castle,

He floated a dazzling smile when he had swiftly opened the door.

There, a place between the audience room,

A royal family introduction by the person who summoned him, King Ambrosius,

Starting with Duke Dixgourd then followed with the senior aristocrats.

He smiles and looks at the whole attendance there.

[Ohhh! Old mans!  Gramps! It have been a long time, I'm home!]

From such a word before him, Ambrosius dropped his scepter as he was direct hit in the head, 

He was in agony with his broken eyes.

He raises his agony voice while holding his head in front of Emurys, Ambrosius face his grandson.

[This idiot grandson....still have crude wording as ever.  have you learned nothing after study aboard for many years?]

[My apologizes, your majesty. I already telling him many times...]

The fathers, Riothamus feels very uncomfortable down.

Uttered about his sons with calm tone,

Although he has a appropriate dignity that worthy of the royal member,

Unlike the his younger son,

Just whose trait that he was similar with?,

Rather than exciting,

It could say that it is a good crude personality of him that still need to be fix,

Although studying in other country is the last resort method.

[Judge from Martina personality, there's no way she doesn't teach him ethics and manners...... It was unreasonable for that.]

Ambrosius murmured while remembering his marries daughter.

Martina is younger sister of Riothamus,

For Emurys, She is the person who can be call his aunt.

She married to a royal member of Kshyperuk kingdoms which is the country that have relative relationship with Fremmevir kingdoms.

It also a good friendly country.

Relying on his aunt, 

His studying aboard happens when Emurys becoming a adult on his 15 years old about 3 years ago,

After had witnessed the result of his behavior now brought even more suspicious feeling.

[Uumu. this disposition, I wonder who gave him this trait.]

[It's your majesty-desu]

The retort that Ambrosius that did not expected came back to him and cause him to look back at his son.

Knut is expressionless at such a scene.

After that moments, Emurys responded back with a cool posture.

[There is no way that this Emurys behaved like that in Kshyperuk.]

[Oh, no, that may be not entirely true, Me.....even me will act depend time and case. The earlier words was like that because it was a long time to see everyone face, so I just stop the formal wording a little bit....DESU.]

Although the suspicious gaze from the everyone around are focused at the talking Emurys who came up with subtly excuses,

The person in question is stretching his chest without care.

Ambrosius has just unusually gave up. 

[...about this matter, let discuss it slowly later... now, it look like everyone already gathered here today.]

The tense air loses due to behavior of problem child, He made one cough to reset the mood.

[I'm have been a king of this country for 36 years, now, I think it is a good time for me to retire from the throne. Riothamus, my son here shall be the next king.]

Following the hint that swallowing the breath at the place,

Ambrosius words is not sudden happening.

The people who gathered here already forecast this fact to certain degree.

The inheritance of Fremmevir kingdom throne base on the eldest sons. 

The throne belong to the eldest sons of the king who is the 1st rank, 

The 2nd rank go to the sibling sisters who can be both men and women, 

Then continue with the 3rd rank by order. 

The grand children of the king inheritance rank determine by the child of the eldest sons who will be top rank among the grand children group. 

The most reason that often used to passing the throne is about the aged king retirement.

Once in the past, this country met the turmoil immediately after the founding,

It require a power of the young and strong leader in order to lead the country,

There was a tradition that the old aged king must give up the throne.

Ambrosius current age is 60 years old.

The age that belong to the elderly in this world.

The throne succession must be execute on extremely suitable times only.

Even the surrounding people was convinced, 

But still to pervade his existence, there still a king testament to be a great king.

To break the silence that drags some sentimentality,

Riothamus step forwards, to his father, he took an expression of gratitude deeply toward a man who was a king. (may be bowing since the novel did not state it clearly.)

After inherit the crown, 

Even before the person who is a father and the former king,

Lowering his head is unacceptable. (well, the king bow to no one.)

That why at times like this,

He finished his gratitude in the most highest respect way.

[I will gratefully receive it, your majesty...no, fathers]

[Um, Because of this king chairs that i sat with an absolutely careful, it served me well. then, the official ceremony will be arrange later, Even knowing my son, I still asking you to look after this country for the best of your ability.]

Ambrosius looks around at the surround people, 

The gathered nobles folks are all knee at once and bowed their head.

* 
West calendar 1280,

Summer.

The notifications about abdication of "The lion" Ambrosius spread at every domestic corner of the country at later date,

The coronation of Riothamus also transmitted at the same time.

Many people praise the achievements of the great former king and hide the expectation of the next generations king.

With before and after,

The deployment of new state of the art mass productions machine have been advancing in various regions.

With the new king and new knight.

For Fremmevir kingdom, it may be the largest incident since the founding times. 

Great transition stage is approaching, who can stand idle?,

And the dream of great breakthrough development age will come.
