After talking with Schwartz, when I was about to leave the castle, I met King Salius.

With a smile, he greeted me, “Noel, so you came!” Waving my hand, I reply, “It's because I had something to do in the royal capital.”

There's a wise looking old person next to the king. He looked at me interestingly,  “King  Salius, is this young man the hero who everyone talks about?”

Nodding, King Salius replies, “Eh? Ah,  that's right. Emould.”

Eh, Emould? Wanting to make sure, I ask him,  “Could you be, the architect Emould Dragger?”

Happy he was recognized, Emould laughed, “Ho Ho Ho~u, so you know about me. Indeed, there is no other Emould Dragger than me”

Smiling, I continue, “I actually asked your disciple Amur for a request recently…….”

Raising his eyebrows, Emould replies, “Ho~u, Amur huh? That guy is one of my best disciples. A young man with a promising future who is purely learning about Architecture. His only drawback is he's too pure.”

King Salius then added, “Actually, I was consulting with Emould on rebuilding the castle, and talked about choosing a designer from one of his disciples.”

By the way, this castle was designed by Emould, is what he said. Bringing the topic back, I add, “By the way, did you hear? It was said that Amur was kicked out of his firm.”

Hearing this, Emoulds expression got tense, “No……..it's the first time I hear it.” He really doesn't seem to know. I then told Emould what I heard from Amur and Christa.

Taking a deep breath, he mutters, “So something like that happened huh…….. Since recently, I lived a retired life, so hadn't heard the situation of my disciples.”

With a deep sigh, he adds, “Certainly, when looking at the recent buildings of the n.o.bles, they look gorgeous, but there are a lot of useless decorations.”

Getting a sharp look in his eyes, He grunts,  “The building should be treated like the client, and that functionality and convenience should be emphasized, is what I taught them……. Apparently, that wasn't enough. It seems they need a hard moxibustion……”(T/N: I'm at loss at the last sentence. Here's the raw: キツいお灸が必要みたいじゃな・・・・・・)

It seems that Emould is thinking about something, but I don't understand what it is.

Well, later, an event that will upset the values of n.o.bles and architects will occur.
