We arrived in Shirone Kingdom.
Shirone Kingdom is a small country, but it's an old country that has 200 years of history.
For this world- which keeps track of history in 1,000 year denominations- speaking of 200 years might not seem all that old.
However, 400 years ago, all human race countries except Asura Kingdom and the Holy Milis Kingdom were wiped out in the war.
Until 300 years ago when Dragon King Kingdom took control of the southern-most tip, it was a region of intense strife.
Even now, if you go north, the strife zone spreads out.
The Shirone Kingdom is a country that is relatively close to that strife zone.
In such a place, how did the Shirone Kingdom manage to last as a country for 200 years?
Honestly, I don't have much interest in it, but for the most part I do know why.
It's because they formed an alliance with the Dragon King Kingdom early on in their history.
Although even if you were to call it an alliance, the difference in power is clear.
If you were to stop by the Shirone Kingdom on the way to the Dragon King Kingdom it's like the other two kingdoms, a vassal state.
The only fact that I have an interest in is that Roxy is in this country.
That young... No, she's not young.
I wonder if that lovely, slightly clumsy shisho is still in this country serving as magician for the Royal Court.
I had heard that she had burned one of the prince’s hands, but I'm sure she's still somehow giving it her best.
I want to see her, as I haven't seen her in a while.
I want to meet her and tell her I'm safe.
I want to talk with Roxy and tell her about how I visited her hometown.
I want her to show me her King class magic.
While thinking that we move along the road towards the capital.
