Isekai Rohan 235

Violet had led the two humans into her ho.

The small house was a mixture between stone and wood. Rather than comfortability, it seed the ho was designed with survival in mind. Which made complete sense to Asai. With no couch or chairs. The three seated upon small pillows placed upon a straw carpet that was close to what seed to be an indoor BBQ pit. The fire already being lit, from before Asai's sudden arrival filled the ho with a gentle warmth.

The man decided to throw a few pieces of steak, bread and cheese upon the grill. The man was going to make a cheeseburger, and seeing Violet drool a little from the already emitting aroma. He covered the grill to the brim, ensuring there were enough portions to go around.

Violet, although ordered to serve the man. Wasn't entirely confident. She knew not what to say or do. She placed her bets entirely upon her decently good looks. Hoping it was enough to please the man. Rosemi, he kept herself within Asai's shadows, remained quiet. Not yet revealing her identity.

Seeing that Violet was more or less lowering her guard, he decided it was the ti to strike. Trying not to sound like a complete country-bumpkin. He questioned the girl.

"Thank you for your hospitality Violet, you may address as Asai. Whilst we wait for our snack to cook, can you tell about your self?"

Violet's attention snapped away from the cooking steak paddy. She suddenly beca flustered.

"Anything will do, it's nothing serious. Just entertain ."

Rather than ease her worries, for suddenly being placed on the spot. She beca increasingly flustered. The woman had no interesting stories to tell, and so, she simply told her own life story, hoping it would suffice as entertainnt.

"Well... Sir Asai. As you know, my na is Violet. I wasn't always from this village, this is but one of many farming villages within the lands of Aevraury. Ah! Sorry, m-my lord. The kingdom of Ignis has already conquered Aevraury, but they haven't published any news about their stance on the remaining population that still live here.

Forgive , for I am not exactly up to date-"

"So, we're actually not in Ignis yet? And this is actually just a territory that has been conquered by the dark-elves? Are these villagers considered slaves?"

"- I was actually a citizen of Montt. I managed to obtain a scholarship to study at the royal academy. However, after years of underachieving, they said I was a waste of resources and banished to these lands. That's why I am faring better than the others here, and also why they were quick to order around.

Because I spent all of my ti, reading books and studying. I don't really know much about the noble houses and their crests. So please forgive for not recognising which noble house you hail from." Violet bowed a little.

"That's fine, continue your story. Please." Asai handed over one of the cheeseburgers to her. Soft bread, semi lted cheese on a steak-patty cooked to dium rare. It's juices dripping and soaking into the bread. The aroma making her nostrils flare, and her mouth drool. Violet quickly took a bite before crying a couple tears of joy.

She had forgotten the last ti she had eaten a decent al. Thus, she now felt great gratitude towards the man before her.

Asai pulled out so beer, the weaker variant. Offering her a cup to help wash the beef down.

"Thank you-" Missing the flavour and taste of alcohol, she took a few big chugs.

"- Um... Actually, it's really dangerous for you to be sightseeing right now. Ignis has been sending their scouts into Via Marea, our mortal enemy. Soon, they'll launch their first regint. You shouldn't be caught loitering around, in case they forcefully conscript you. As a noble, you do have a duty to fight for your kingdom."

Asai nodded, rather than replying, he continued to enjoy his bun. Whilst also refilling Rosemi's portions. Seeing the man's mouth occupied with food, she continued her story.

"Queen Emilita Regenon, has actioned martial law, before nightfall all citizens must be indoors. If not, Her Majesty's undead knights who roams the lands at night will attack on sight."

"Emilita Regenon? The queen of Montt is related to Rima Regenon? Fucking family feud huh."

"You're probably wondering why I don't just sneak back into the capital or the surrounding towns huh? Well... I've tried and it's impossible. There's no direct access into Ignis, the territory is surrounded by impassable mountains, and the only way in and out is via the portal at Nightmare Castle. And, I've tried and failed to sneak past the army of undead, guarding the castle walls.

So, I'm stuck out here... Ah! I also can't sneak out of this territory to leave for Via Marea, because Her Majesty's necromancers has placed thousands of undead to guard the path out. Not forgetting to ntion the tribes of orcs that guard the pass for her, that will also eat alive..."

Feeling a little sad, thinking about her current situation, she quickly chugged the mug down. Asai, being the gentleman, refilled it.

"Holy shit, this Violet girl actually gave so much information just because I fed her a cheeseburger..."

Sensing the opportunity. He extended his hand.

"Violet, if I could get you out of here, and into the lands of Via Marea. Would you join ? I actually have connections out there, and if you follow . I can guarantee you a place to live, with plenty of food to eat."

Although this sounded almost too good to be true, like a scam. Considering how he was literally a stranger who just suddenly popped up. The fact that he had such abnormally large amounts of food to give away, which also implied the strength and cost of his storage ring being great.

The gentle smile, his beautiful pure aura complinted by his silver hair and eyes. Was increasing buying her mind over. Little did she know,

[Loha's Blessing]

Royal Blood now flows through your veins.

The royal blood that was coursing through his veins, amplified and emitted an aura of regal dignity and confidence. Making the girl believe that this man could tell no lies, and that he indeed had the authority and power to deliver what he promised.
