We were riding in the carriage without any trouble. It was the fourth day.
The time was around noon.
We had been traveling for three days to reach the royal capital normally, but after considering safety, this speed had become the shortest possible route.
We had even stopped at villages along the way to buy vegetables and fruit, and we had tried to avoid making the atmosphere too tense.
Minty, who was driving the carriage, called out from the driver's seat in a loud voice.
"Instructor~! It's coming into view~!"
I leaned out from the cargo bed toward the driver's seat and saw the royal capital's walls in the distance.
Behind the walls, the royal castle was faintly visible.
Looking at it like this, it was clear that the castle had been built quite far from the walls.
…If I see the royal castle of this kingdom, I can't bring myself to fight a war.
People do fight wars, and while it's unfortunate, it can't be helped.
