Two girls who looked to be the same age as Cain got out of the carriage, supported by a handmaid.
They are both trembling and holding each other's hands. The maidservant is shaking too.
She looks around and sees a dead orc, a broken knight, and a knight lying in critical condition, pale.
The two girls, both only about five years old, one has blonde hair, kept about shoulder length, and is dressed like a noblewoman's daughter.
The other has brown hair, about the length of her chest, and is dressed like a noblewoman's daughter as well.
They are both amazingly beautiful girls.
The moment he saw their faces, Garum showed a look of surprise for a moment, and then, facing the blonde beauty, he got down on his knees and assumed the highest posture of a nobleman.
Hurriedly, Cain also took the same posture.
''This is, Princess Telestia, I'm glad to see that your highness, Miss Silk, is safe.
Although he thought she was a nobleman's daughter, Cain was surprised in his mind that the blonde girl was His Highness the Princess.
''Thank you, Garum Frontier Count, for saving me from a dangerous situation.
Princess Telestia and Mistress Silk, still shivering and supported by their maidservants, gave a polite nobleman's greeting.
They glanced at Cain.
Noticing their gaze, Garum stood up and made introductions.
''Cain, over here is the third princess, Lady Telestia Terra Esfort, and the second daughter of Duke Santana, Lady Silk von Santana.
Cain also stands up and introduces himself.
I am Cain von Silford, third son of Garum von Silford Gracia," he says. I'm glad to hear that Princess Telestia and Lady Silk are safe. I apologize for the short notice, but may I cast a spell?
Cain passes the magic through his fingers and chants a spell.
"CALM DOWN (Relax)
A glow envelops the two girls and their maidservant and then fades away.
'I hope this calms you down.
It's a spell that uses both light magic and creation magic. I created this magic when I was adventuring in the forest when I got sick from seeing the inside of a magical beast.
After the glow disappeared, the fear and trembling from before are gone.
When I looked up at the smiling Cain, His Royal Highness Princess Telestia and Miss Silk's cheeks turned red.
''Lady Cain, it is Telestia Terra Esfort. Thank you for saving me from a dangerous situation. I was very scared. I thought this was the last time I would ever see you again.
Princess Telestia's Highness takes Cain's hand with tears in her eyes and lays her hands on top of his and thanks him.
''Oh, that's not fair! Mr. Cain, let me thank you as well. I was watching from the carriage window. He shot his magic with the force of a gale, and his swordplay was cool.
Miss Silk also took Cain's hand and thanked him.
As expected, even Garum laughed bitterly next to her for taking her hand and thanking her.
Afterwards, the maidservant with Princess Telestia's Highness was also introduced and thanked. As expected, though, they didn't hold hands like the two of them did.
'I thought this would be the last time you and Silk would be alone with the knights who were protecting you as they fell. You are so strong, Master Cain, that you defeated thirty orcs by yourself. I couldn't help but admire your magic and sword skills.
So what is it that brings you to this place?
Garum interrupted me.
''Teres... Oh, His Royal Highness Princess Terestia has come to my home territory of Malbeek and was on her way to the royal capital. For the unveiling of the royal capital.
Well, then you must be the same age as Cain. We are on our way to King's Landing to unveil it. Would you like to join us?
'So Master Cain is the same age. Let me join you.
Then I disposed of the demon's corpse and unfortunately wrapped the deceased knight in a white sheet.
I didn't want Princess Telestia and Mistress Silk to see too much of it, so I had them ride to the carriage first.
''May I take the demon material? In return, I will carry the deceased knight to the royal capital.''
Cain so suggested to the remaining knights.
'That's fine, but how will you carry this amount?'
The knight asked questioningly.
'It's ....'
He glanced at Garum.
Garum nodded silently.
He touched the demon's corpse, and the demon disappeared.
''Item box!''
Okay. I can carry this much.
As he said that, he housed them in one item box after another.
They also housed the knights wrapped in white sheets.
The knight thanks them.
''Thank you. I was planning to bury him here as is. Now we can hand them over to their families.''
'Well then, shall we go? Our carriage will go ahead of you.
Garum said and turned to head for his carriage.
Cain, too, hurriedly turned to head for his carriage.
''May I have a moment?''
The one who called out to me was Her Royal Highness Princess Telestia.
''We are anxious for the two of us, so we would like you to have Lady Cain stay with us in our carriage.
It's ....
As expected, Garum can't give an immediate answer either. However, it's His Highness that is being asked for. You can't do it indefinitely.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm going to have to ask you to get in the carriage.
I understand.
I glanced at my family, and sure enough, Rayne seemed to be angry.
I pretended I hadn't seen it and got in the carriage.
'Sit here, please.'
Miss Silk shows me around.
And I don't know how it happened.
His Royal Highness Princess Telestia and Mistress Silk are sitting on either side of me.
This is despite the fact that the seat in front of me is empty.
''It will be tight if the three of you stand in line, so why don't I sit in the front seat?
Yes, Cain suggests.
'No. You can sit next to me. I'm still scared and I feel safer that way.
Then he goes and twines his arms around me.
Is that enough for you, Your Highness!
I can't say the words, so I scream in my mind. The spirit, as expected, lived to be in high school in a previous life. There is no lust for a five year old.
'Teres, it's not fair. Me too!'
While saying that, Miss Silk also entwined her opposite arm.
Thanks to the entangling of both arms, we headed to the royal capital without being able to do anything.
At first, they shivered at times, perhaps remembering memories from the fight, but the next day and the day after that, they both calmed down.
Cain is feeling blue, but the two beautiful girls are very excited on the day they arrive at the royal capital.
'Master Cain, please call me Teres.
I'll wear silk too!
'Oh no, I'm addressing Your Highness: ...
Te rez! Okay?
... Yes. Mr. Telles.
No siree.
... Got it. Teres.
Me! Call me Silk.
'Yes .... Silk.
They nodded in satisfaction.
Even though he was of an older mental age, he still couldn't beat the girls. They should have been as little as their sister.
Three days passed, and they arrived safely at the royal capital.
There were no demon attacks in the meantime, and it was quiet. However, the hardest part was that I was sandwiched between two beautiful girls on either side of me.
After checking in at the entrance of the royal capital, we entered through the entrance for nobles only.
''Now that we've entered the royal capital, it's time for me to return to my carriage.
Cain thought he was finally going to be freed and said to them.
'What are you talking about, Cain-sama is going straight to the royal castle with us. There's a stuffing station for the knights next to the royal castle. Our knights have told Garum-sama that, so he'll be fine.
Indeed, the item box still contained the corpse of the knight. It wasn't a pleasant one, and I nodded and accompanied them.
At the entrance of the royal castle, I separated from Telestia and Silk, and when I reached the stuffing station of the knights, a knight in white and silver armor came out. He's a handsome red-haired human in his late twenties or so.
''The knights who preceded me told me. Thank you for protecting us both. And I'm sorry for carrying my compatriots. I'm the Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard, Dime von Gazart.
'I am Cain von Silford. I am the third son of the Lord of Gracia. The knights stood up to nearly fifty orcs to protect them. They fought bravely.
I'd appreciate that. Then I'll take it back over here.
They placed the knights wrapped in white sheets in the designated area.
Normally, if they died outside, they would take something home as a relic and the body would be buried or burned on the spot.
After saying a silent prayer and offering prayers, we decided to head to the Silford family's other home in the royal capital.
''Then I will leave you with that.
Wait a minute. Mr. Cain will now have an audience with the King. Lord Garm should be on his way here already, of course.
It was an audience with the king, which I didn't expect.
