Year 388 of the Touya Holy Calendar - Phoenix blacksmith

(Emerald POV)

We left our house through the front door.

"Say goodbye to daddy" Emerald

Today, Alastor will be presented to the Second Queen.

"Bye, dad!"

Alastor shakes his right arm over his head.

"Take care, you two!" Ikki

My husband speaks from the reception desk inside the blacksmith shop.

"Yeees" Alastor

"We are going!" Emerald

I take his hand and head toward the bus stop.

And on the way, we see the everyday scene of the market.

Clean streets, well-made stores, happy children running around, and people shopping for their daily necessities.

My mother always told me that we should always appreciate this peace granted by the Isekai Hero, because all of this was only possible because of him.

I don't get to live the bad times she went through, so I am not really sure about how it was.

"Mom hurry up!" Alastor

My child pulls my arm to go forward.

"The castle is not going anywhere, have a little patience" Emerald

But contrary to Ikki´s negativity, I think this is a good time to live.

"Go! Go! Go!" Alastor

...

......

I was a guard at the gates of the village for four years, but after being chosen as the mother of one servant of the Second Queen, I was promoted to a royal guard of her castle.

This place has become an everyday sight to me, but not for my child.

"WOOOOWW!!" Alastor

He exclaimed while raising both of his arms.

"IT IS BIG!!" Alastor

After half an hour of riding in the horseless carriage created by the hero, we reached our destination in the forest far from the village.

The Titan Castle.

"It is good that you liked it because this will be your workplace in the future" Emerald

"WOW! WOOOOOOWW!!" Alastor

Excited, he runs in circles around me while waving both arms.

"Huhu" Emerald

As I laugh at his cute behavior, we reach the door of the building.

"Good morning, Royal Guard Emerald"

Dressed in a black suit and with a monocle over his left eye, the butler was already waiting for us.

"Good morning, Sebastian"

Or more precisely, at his future replacement.

Alastor will keep living with us until he is judged as capable of taking care of the Second Queen.

Today will only be a presentation, nothing more.

"This is my son, I brought him here today as promised" Emerald

The child steps forward.

"Hi, I am Alastor, Eight years old!"

The child answered with all the innocence of one.

"...Hello, my name is Sebastian and I am going to teach you about your work in this place"

And the old butler answered with all the elegance of one.

"Alastor, please follow him and learn all you can" Emerald

Now Alastor was circling the butler, looking at him from every angle.

"Yes, Mom" Alastor

He stops in front of the butler.

"Good child" Emerald

"...it seems that there will be no lack of enthusiasm" Sebastian

Certainly not.

"Sebastian you know where to find me if you need me" Emerald

Right here at the gate, my guard position.

"Understood, follow me Young Alastor" Sebastian

"Yes!" Alastor

"There is a lot to learn" Sebastian

The two of them go inside the castle.

"Okay" Emerald

I stick the bottom of my spear in the ground and look at the path where we came from.

"Another day of boredom awaits me" Emerald
