Chapter 134 Visiting Mezorin For A Second Time



Leaving all the hectic in the capital aside, a luxurious black carriage is en route to the Mezorin. Inside the carriage are three high-profile persons from the Kingdom of Ryntum. It was King Rizieri Ryntum, alongside his fiancée, Theodora and his personal maid, Charlotte are on their way to Mezorin, Capital of Naharog.

After a long time, the count finally found a free time in his schedule to take the important step in claiming his legitimacy as king. Because of the good relationship between Ryntum and Naharog, Riz naturally received an invitation to attend the coronation ceremony.

Unlike Naharog, he isn't bothered to hold a ceremony upon declaring independence. Despite being urged by many people, he refuses to do so. Wasting money on this kind of event is not in line with his character.

According to his spies in Mezorin, the count invited the surrounding rulers to his ceremony including a hostile nation such as Bagyarosia. Whether they'll attend or not is uncertain. Nevertheless, it is an important ceremony that marks the creation of a new kingdom.

Honestly speaking, Ryntum has less contact with the eastern nation aside from Naharog. He doesn't know their view on his independent kingdom or the attitude they'll take about him. None of them ever sent an envoy to meet him to establish diplomatic relations. Not like he cares about them in the first place.

Just because he doesn't care, it doesn't mean he'll let his guard down. Considering many unknown representatives from other countries that might attend, Riz certainly would not compromise on the safety of the three of them.

They were escorted by a handful of soldiers responsible for keeping the three of them safe the entire time. These soldiers are his army's cream of the crop personally picked by William based on their performance, their conduct outside of duty hours and most importantly, their loyalty.

The day they began the journey was bright without a single hint of incoming rain which is good.

Due to the absence of clouds in the sky, the sunlight shines on the surface without any obstacles. Making the day a bit hotter than usual.

Even so, it does not prevent Riz from peering outside through the window. His mouth continuously hummed for some reason.

His fiancee who was sitting beside him however was getting disgruntled by his actions. She can't get her focus on the book she was reading. With her brow furrow, she asked. "Why did you do that? Can you stop it?"

Riz answered without turning his face around, "I'm trying to feel any shaking on this carriage to see if the suspension Arnold installed is working or not. Why do you think you can read peacefully up until now?"

"Shaking?" Theodora gives him that weird look of her. Then, a sudden realization came to her, "Now I think about it...The carriage feels comfortable. I haven't felt nauseous at all. Is this one of your inventions again?"

"You can say so. I try to make my ride as pleasant as possible. This idea has been lingering in my mind for a long time. But, the plan got pushed back again and again." In fact, he planned to recreate it ever since he rode a carriage for the first time in this world. But, he couldn't say it out loud.

"How does it work?"

"I'm glad you ask." Riz's face was beaming with a smile. As if he expected that question.

"Let me tell you, this marvellous invention is called elliptic leaf spring suspension. The first type of suspension system invented by Ryntum. It is basically just two leaf springs combined and facing away from each other to create an oval shape. Each leaf spring is made up of multiple layers of rectangular steel with different sizes stacked on top of one another. Then it was secured with a metal clamp. When pressure is applied, they'll bend and return to their original position through the damping process. By installing this to the carriage, it keeps passengers comfortable from bumps and vibrations. In addition, it has a simple design and the production cost is low. Imagine the huge profit I'll take from this thing."

"Err...Carriage becomes more comfortable, right? Got it." Theodora looks quizzical.

She doesn't exactly understand the technicality behind it. But nods regardless as to not hurt his feelings after hearing giving her a lengthy explanation.

Since it is a good thing, she simply accepts its existence without giving it too much thought.

Riz continues, "If we were to ride on a flat road, our journey might be more comfortable. Such a shame the road outside my kingdom would stay as it is for a period of time."

"Don't be too discouraged. Our kingdom is the only one that has the skills to build it. Sooner or later, he'll come and seek you for the project."

"I guess you're right. By the way, did Charlotte tell you about your family yet?"

As a director of his intelligence network, Charlotte is always well-informed about the latest news.

"What happened to my family?!!" Theodora starts panicking. Her eyes redirect to the couch across her.

The subject of their conversation is sleeping peacefully without any care. Charlotte had fallen into her own dream world ever since they began their journey. With all the soldiers around them, she can put her mind at ease and leave everything in their hand.

A drool can be clearly seen seeping out of her mouth. Despite her attractive hourglass figure, her sleeping posture isn't ladylike at all. Let alone graceful and serene. Thankfully, the carriage had a curtain to block people outside from seeing.

Theodora doesn't dare to wake the tired Charlotte up. Thus, she waited for her fiance to give the answer she needed.

Riz amusingly said, "Your father refused to go to Caushilbo to swear allegiance to King Niall II. If that wasn't enough, he turned his county into a grand duchy, totally ignoring the new king. I guess this makes you a duke's daughter, aren't you glad?"

"This is not a joke, Riz. What is my father thinking? Wouldn't it be better to stay under King Niall II for a while? Now that he has done it, what happens if Niall attacks him?" said Theodora worriedly.

He rejected her notion, "None of that would happen. Our intelligence suggests that King Niall II has no sufficient manpower to wage war against The Iron Wall. Also, SIN agents have been keeping them busy lately. You can rest assured, I will immediately evacuate your family members."

Theodora was relieved, "Thanks, Riz."

"No problem, small matters for me."
