Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 174: Their Every Situation
After his battle with Nidol Proxia, Rio escaped from the imperial palace and returned to his room in the inn. After receiving her usual morning call, she emptied the room as if nothing had happened last night and left as it was.
The next destination was the kingdom of Paladia which was to the east of the Proxia empire. Paladia is a small monarchical kingdom located in the north of the Galwark kingdom, an area that appears to have a case of chronic strife between neighboring countries.
Despite having some doubts regarding the credibility of the information due to its source, it was not strange at all for the kingdom to become the next client of Lucius' mercenaries. Since he had no other source of information, he had no choice but to try his luck in Paladia.
（According to the emperor, the first prince may know of his whereabouts but ……. . The problem was how to make contact with the prince. ）
It was possible to meet the first prince as long as he used his title as the honorary knight of Galwark kingdom, but in order to fulfill his goal, he did not want to make such a gamble that could cause trouble for his position. as a noble and he was also not very adept at arranging normal meetings.
That then left him with no other choice but to infiltrate the castle to meet the first prince, but it didn't seem that simple.
He obviously had no problem with infiltrating the castle, but meeting with members of the royal family might prove troublesome as they were usually heavily protected.
Soldiers might be standing guard in front of the room, or if he was really unlucky, they might be placed inside the prince's room. There is also the possibility that he is with his wife and children. It came down to personal preference but the majority of nobles and titled nobles chose to sleep in windowless rooms as a step against intruders.
（Going during the day may be easier than going at night. I need to study her daily routine for a few days for now and then try to make contact if the opportunity arises. ）
After deciding on his plan for now, Rio raised his flying speed. He might get lost because he had never been to this place, the zone where a number of small nobles fought each other, but he might reach Paladia kingdom today or tomorrow. Rio felt a sense of euphoria that he rarely felt.

Now, it had been more than a month since Miharu was forcibly taken to Saint Stella.
「Japanese is difficult. Since I felt a slight improvement, I thought it was time to review. In addition to pronunciation there are many letters, homonyms, grammar and history behind it and many similarities, similarities that contain minor nuances. Being able to hold daily conversations along with writing and reading is already a terrible feat.
Lilyana said it in a calm tone during the break from their lesson.
「That's not true, I think Lilyana-sama who can learn at such speed is amazing right? In addition, because writing such a neat and clear letter is difficult even for Japanese people, without deep understanding, you do not need to feel discouraged. 」
Miharu smiled while saying that to him.
"Thank you very much . I will do my best because I am blessed with an amazing teacher. 」
Lilyana also smiled sincerely.
The learning speed is amazing. Although his study time was limited due to his position as a noble, his learning spirit was amazing which also added to the fact that he himself had a brilliant mind. It could be said that his comprehension and memory abilities were wounds above others.
Currently he memorizes katakana, hiragana, and some simple kanji at the elementary school student level. He learned fundamental expressions and various words one after another and he continued to grow very quickly.
「Ahaha, basically I am just an amateur teacher ……. . In fact, I did not learn Japanese well and I did not learn the teaching methods appropriate for it, so there may have been some mistakes in my teaching. Nevertheless, Lilyana-sama who can learn Japanese to this level with a very limited time is truly amazing. As I thought, you are a genius. So what do you want to learn? I will teach it as per Lilyana-sama's request. 」
