The dinner event organized by the Kingdom of Esteria, which directly invited the residents, finally began. Hundreds of residents started entering the palace wearing their best clothes.Arthfael, who occupied a room on the second floor, was seen looking towards the view along the streets leading to the palace, where there were many horse-drawn carriages queueing to wait for their turn to enter the palace."What are you doing?" Valentina asked when she saw Arthfael calmly observing the view outside the window.Valentina flew closer to Arthfael and joined in looking at the scenery outside. Her eyes widened when she saw how many royal guests were coming tonight."What?! So many people! It seems like the palace will turn into a livestock barn if it's this crowded," Valentina exclaimed without thinking first.Arthfael turned his gaze to Valentina and looked at the fairy flying beside him. "Yes, because the King invited his subjects here. Automatically, they compete to come here wearing thei
Ting! Ting! Ting!The sound of silver spoons clinking against glass cups echoed loudly, grabbing the attention of everyone present in the palace hall. It was Frederick, who had just made the sound, sitting at a special table reserved for the royal family members—himself, Arabella, Galen, and Calliope.As all eyes turned to the royal members, Galen stood up, raising his wine glass in the air. "Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the beloved Esteria Royal Palace!" Galen began the dinner event in front of his subjects.The audience eagerly anticipated Galen's opening speech. Some were captivated by the beauty of Galen and Calliope's children, who sat calmly behind the dining table."As you all know, my son Frederick has just completed a challenging mission: eliminating the Firebelcher monsters from Ravenwood City, which had been attacking the city for the past few months, nearly destroying it," Galen continued. He pointed towards Frederick, who stood up, receiving a round of applause."Of
Arabella walked towards a rather secluded place, untouched by anyone in the palace. There was no one there except for Arthfael and Arabella, who decided to have a private conversation.Feeling shy and reluctant to start the conversation, Arabella leaned against the dividing wall that separated the floor from the garden.Arthfael himself couldn't believe he was trapped in this situation. Finally, Arthfael stood beside Arabella and gazed at the magnificent and beautiful palace garden in the evening."Do you want to hear the reason why I rejected the offer to marry you, Princess Arabella?" Arthfael asked, breaking the silence.Arabella nodded her head slowly, trying not to appear too eager for Arthfael, although in reality, that was how she truly felt."If I told you that I'm not from this world, would you believe me?" Arthfael asked, turning his gaze towards Arabella. Arabella also turned and furrowed her brow in confusion."I'm not from this world, Miss. I come from another world, and
After resting for several days at the Esteria Royal Palace, Arthfael finally resumed his journey with Valentina and Flare, who would continue to accompany him. This time, Arthfael was not alone. He was accompanied by Ian and Zeke, who had decided to quit their job as palace guards in order to accompany Arthfael to the village of Anvilhelm in the Verdantia Kingdom.Various belongings that Arthfael would bring had finally been prepared. He quickly left the palace and met Zeke and Ian, who were ready with their own belongings."Do we need to bring anything?" Arthfael asked when he saw Ian and Zeke carrying large backpacks."I'm just bringing some spare clothes and food. Maybe we can stop by the edge of the forest a few times and hunt for dinner, sir," Zeke replied.Arthfael nodded and then glanced at Flare, who was cleaning its fur."Flare, are you ready?" Arthfael asked.Flare paused for a moment, finished cleaning itself, and looked at Arthfael. "I'm always ready."After making sure th
Arthfael's journey with Zeke, Ian, Valentina, and Flare had already lasted for 3 days. They had stopped multiple times at various places to rest and hunt.As Arthfael had been informed earlier about the delicious meat of monsters, he hunted and stored various supplies of meat in their storage.And today, their stock of monster meat for the five of them had run out. They stopped in the forest as usual and set up a shelter to rest."Our meat stock is finished. It seems like I will hunt monsters again today. Are there any Level B or C monsters nearby?" Arthfael asked.Ian opened the map he had and looked at their current location based on the last place they stopped. After confirming, Ian nodded and looked at Arthfael."Nearby, there is a Level B monster called Eviscaro," Ian said.Upon hearing the name Eviscaro, Flare immediately shivered, as did Valentina who became horrified. Arthfael, on the other hand, didn't know what kind of monster Ian had just mentioned."What is it?" Arthfael a
Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare returned to their spot with the three largest Eviscaro they had chosen earlier. Ian and Zeke, who had arrived earlier, were surprised to see Arthfael carrying the Eviscaro in his hands.Arthfael immediately placed the three monster Eviscaro in front of Ian and Zeke, who were still shocked to see the creatures."Wow, these Eviscaro monsters are huge. This is the first time I've seen ones this big," Zeke exclaimed as he looked at the three monsters before him."That's right. I was lucky to get these three," Arthfael replied."What about the others?" Ian asked curiously."Ah, I only took three because I thought it would be enough for our meal later, right? Besides, there are so many of them. Where would we put all the meat?" Arthfael lied.In reality, Arthfael had stored all of them in his own storage. A storage only owned by people from another world and unknown to anyone else."Oh, I see. In that case, let's clean and skin them, then divide them into seve
For 10 days and 10 nights, Arthfael, along with Zeke, Ian, Valentina, and Flare, traveled through the forest and various places to reach Anvilhelm Village. Finally, their journey came to an end when they saw the border of the Verdantia Kingdom near the forest.In front of them, there was a gate that separated the Kingdom's territory from the free forest. Right in front of the gate, there were four guards and a man responsible for inspecting people entering the territory of the Verdantia Kingdom."That's the gate of the Verdantia Kingdom. Let's head there," Ian said.They continued walking downhill until they reached the registration area, which was visible from a distance. The three of them lined up with the people who were heading into the Verdantia Kingdom. Zeke and Ian showed their identification cards, as did Arthfael.Finally, it was Arthfael's turn to show his identification card."Where is your identification card?" the man asked Arthfael rudely.Arthfael took off his head cove
"Thank you for your visit! Don't forget to come again!" shouted the chef and owner of the restaurant that Arthfael and his friends had just visited.The four of them seemed to be full after enjoying the Eviscaro meat dish cooked with various spices. Even not only them, Valentina and Flare couldn't finish their meal because their stomachs felt full.Arthfael walked while holding his stomach, feeling bloated. Then he stopped and turned to Zeke and Ian, who also seemed to be full."Should we stay overnight? It seems we can't meet the swordsmith because it's already evening," Arthfael asked."Yes, sir. Let's meet him tomorrow," Ian replied.Arthfael continued his journey and then booked rooms at the inn they visited."Excuse me," Arthfael said, catching the attention of a middle-aged woman behind the simple reception desk.For a moment, the woman seemed mesmerized by Arthfael's appearance, with his handsome face, pointed chin, and broad chest."Please, one room for lodging," Arthfael requ
